But how often do people share attributes between fonts and icons? And how often do you need to inherit attributes that way?

I'm not sure why an icon font would be easier to use than SVGs. Yes, you only have to reference a file once (the font file), but that actually makes it more difficult to use, because now you have to remember two things: how to reference the file, and how to reference the icon.

With SVG, it's simpler, because everything is usually contained in one CSS rule. Yes, it has a reference to a file, but does that matter from the viewpoint of simplicity? I.e., make another icon? Then just copy a CSS rule and edit it.

Also, using an icon font makes it difficult to substitute a single icon by another icon. Suddenly, you have to start rearranging your CSS. With SVGs not so: just edit the referenced url.

Anyway, I love the font-awesome graphics. Except for a few icons, such as icons containing people (they look too bulky and inelegant, for my taste). But most icon-sets don't get people-icons right.

I remember that list, because I said then what I'll say now - posting a list like that on a site like this is akin to handing out bags of heroin at a school :P . But I guess it's what the OP asked for.
To clarify, I think I want to find a place where people discuss the pros/cons of implementing features, hopefully in an objective way. Here are some ideas I'm sure others have had before, but which I think would be interesting:

Could one take the model of Reddit and make it real time? Basically a large chat room. There are of course huge problems that would have to be overcome, such as how to prevent spamming (so maybe a cool down period after each comment?), how to 'rank' up voted comments, and others I haven't thought about.

The next step would be live voice, but I don't see a benefit with video.

Now this next part is completely niaive and idealistic and I'm ignoring all the problems that will need to be solved but what if there were such an online anonymous community able to discuss and debate things in real time? In such a system perhaps the best 'ranked' idea (based on democratic vote, which may not be the best way...) is displayed in brighter it larger text, or lasts longer before disappearing.

So, you see I would love to hear from people who may have tried this or could tell me "no, X doesn't work because then you get people taking advantage of Y".
There has been considerable pitch inflation over time... Back in the 1700's tunings as low as A400 weren't unusual, and even lower wasn't unheard of.

Gocryptfs: successor to EncFS by the EncFS co-maintainer
Serious Eats has to structure its reviews differently to avoid offending advertisers. It insists that its product recommendations are independent of outside influence, but it avoids discussing its non-recommendations, which makes some articles much less valuable to the reader. That's probably the least bad way for advertising to influence reviews, but it's unfortunate even so.
For plenty of people something like the weather or the government really is the reason they moved.

The government was a major reason for my move. I moved after the collapse, which was entirely caused by Iceland's dysfunctional government policies (none of which have really changed), and the measures put into place post-collapse largely benefited homeowners at the expense of the rest of us.

I didn't want to spend the next decade paying for other people's bad financial decisions at the cost of the currency & my purchasing power having fallen around 1/2.

Similarly people move from say the UK to Spain for the weather. As I'm sure you know Iceland doesn't just have "bad" weather, it's on a whole different level where working around the weather often becomes a major logistical difficulty. Whole towns often become snowed in during the winter.

So it's hardly a surprise that someone would move just to be rid of that.

Large corps may produce mediocrity, but the issue for MS is not so much that - they have talent, and are operationally effective.

I think large corps fail to grasp industry pivots - and they keep doing 'more of same' - failing to take risks on new, emerging concepts.

Part of this is 'baked in' - large, incumbent entities have more to lose than to gain by innovation.

Protecting MS monopoly is easier than taking the risk of heading in a new direction that does not pan out. Very, very few companies can do it well.

Amazon did a great job with AWS - but that was a spin-off of something they already used internally, so it had at least one 'satisfied real world customer' in a way.

Also - consider Apple without the iPhone. They just would not be what they are. The iPhone was a rare win, and it had a lot to do with leap-frogging BlackBerry - who created the market demand for data services. Were it not for BB making ridiculous amounts of surplus profits, Jobs would have not been able to justify to himself a $200M investment in the iPhone. Of course - MS should have seen this and acted more aggressively on creating a better experience - they missed it.

In the end I think Cook came up through the ranks of Ops, and is a trusted maintainer of the system. Ballmer is a loud, boorish Trump-like figure who I don't think was very liked.

Some much more than others. If you apply this logic consistently, the only new products Steve Jobs introduced were the original Apple (II), the Mac operating systems, the iPod and iOS. Everything else was an iteration, right?

Mining will be tough. Water, if it can be found, will be in the form of brine ice mixed with perchlorate. It's going to take a lot of energy and equipment to get usable water out of that. Reverse osmosis and ion-exchange resins will work, but they have consumables which must be brought from Earth.

The atmosphere of Mars, such as it is, is mostly CO2. It takes a lot of effort to get oxygen out of that. Sunlight intensity on Mars is about a quarter of what it is on Earth, so solar panels and plants will have about a quarter of the effectiveness.

There are no easily exploitable resources on Mars. It's going to be more like an Arctic base - you have to bring almost everything.
`final` is a better term for real constants
It's not just French/Britain. The book "How music works" describes how each country and, hell, cities, had different tunings, so an Italian singer with a perfect pitch visiting Germany cannot really perform. Maybe just the local organ builder had a different tuning fork when building the church and everyone tuned from there :)

Similar to how people didn't have standard time until relatively recently and the one clock at the town square can be off by quite a bit with the next town.

We built software companies, so that tends to be what we know the best.

I think the question of sector is really hard for this stage of investment because early on I learned that the best companies to invest in aren't the ones who are hitting some specific buzzword like IoT, etc. Great startups don't work that way — they start with founders going after some specific problem and then later they become trends.

So that's why we think of meeting founders as just "doing the work." We have no choice but to talk to as many people as we can, and then meet them in person when it's useful, novel, or real. Please email me directly — garry@initialized.com.

it's actually pretty easy. The biggest cost associated with building a new computer are cpu/gpu. A half decent mb goes for around 150. $700 worth of cpu/gpu will let you place most anything out on high settings. Yeah if you are looking for a titan you're gonna end up paying more than $1000 but even still that computer is going to absolutely take any high end mac desktop to the wood shed for still probably half the price

> Ballmer was simply inarguably an effective CEO from the perspective of investors.

I'm not so sure. Imagine Microsoft had a lazy/disciplined CEO who said, "Windows and Office development only. No Bing, no XBox, no Azure, no Windows Phone, no Nokia". Would the shareholders be richer now?
For me, it's the History of Mathematics archive:

http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/
const Header = ({ children, iconName, iconSize, title }) => { ... };

Once you get used to the destructuring parameter idiom, sure. It also conveys more information.

But that statement is overloaded in that it makes use of implicit object shortcuts which has a bit of a learning curve for longtime ES5 users.

const Header = ({
children: children,
iconName: iconName,
iconSize: iconSize,
title: title }) => { ... };

When object destructuring is nested it can be confusing and more verbose.

It would be great if similar archives were distributed in salt mines around the world. Having a single point of failure in Austria does not sound very robust.

They should also sell those tokens as a means of generating revenue. I'd buy some and hand them down.

The article also talks about the possibility of civilizations losing the ability to read in three generations, but there's no mention of a plan to deal with that. These archives would be mostly useless to an illiterate society, except maybe as objects of wonder or worship.

That would be an interesting challenge, actually -- how could you teach an illiterate, collapsed civilization to read if they don't have access to electronic gadgets like audio players, computers, monitors, or projectors?

My first thought is to have some audio on wax cylinders with hand-cranked players or something. But then there's no guarantee that the hearers will even speak the language. Assuming the language is similar enough, though, it would still be challenging to teach someone to read merely by such primitive audio recordings. They'd have to be paired with some visual aids, and the people listening would have to be really motivated to learn.
There's also the burden necessary to recontextualize. A comment on HN has at least an article's worth of context and possibly a thread of comments it is in reply to. Any attempt to sideline that into a longer blog post needs to spend "set up time" to contextualize the blog post. Certainly one can start such blog every time with HN links and big blockquotes of text that one is responding too, but such easy approaches tend to invite the question "Why wasn't this just a comment in HN?" To do things right you have to write a proper opening establishing the context through paraphrasing as much as linking/quoting, and that certainly can be a lot more effort than just commenting on HN.

I am perfectly aware that when compared to phones and other devices, Macs make up a small percentage of Apple's income. But it is still a massive business.

Apple will be fine either way in the short term. Hell, they have enough cash saved up to run their company for many years even if they make zero income. But their brand reputation is starting to get tarnished when their ecosystems don't get supported. In the long run, having people wondering how frequently the ecosystems they buy into will be supported is a concern.

Maybe the problem is not where we search for it. There is a theory that willpower is a limited resource [1]. If this theory is true, it means productivity hacks cannot work, because the problem is not in our weekends, it is in our weekdays: in our work that demands all of our willpower, in our relationships, social interactions, or in our inability to relax.

I read an article some time ago that I cannot find. It stated that extreme procrastination is the result of a form of drug abuse: we need our daily dose of fb, youtube, etc to keep us functioning, but that takes all the time, and when we realize we wasted another day, it makes us sad, and the cycle begins anew. It is also no secret that these sites are designed to be addictive.

even if block scope was better, its not worth having three ways to declare a variable. Most JS programmers do not know about scope and they do not declare variables, but if they do, they more likely mean it to belong to the function, like in VBscript or PHP, rather then to the if statement.
Explaining why you should declare variables is hard. Now I also have to explain block scope, and angel brackets now makes a huge difference!

if(...) // use angel brackets
foo = 1; // declare variables

Nitpick, luxury goods and veblen goods are distinct concepts. Veblen goods are generally considered theoretical (with the possible exception of things like stocks). For Apple laptops to be Veblen goods, you would have to believe that they would sell fewer laptops if they were cheaper, not just makes less money. You could make the case that it's all brand fetishism and Apple would sell fewer MacBooks than they do now if they cost $500 rather than $1000, but i find that fairly implausible.

I use all different sizes of strings and tensions and tunings for my basses and guitars. ALL of the Western 12 note musical system is a social construct, not something innate to music, and other than what audiences and musicians are accustomed to, it makes no difference what tuning you use. Just like bands can play songs slightly faster or slower live, they can also transpose the pitch a half step or two, or a semitone in whatever direction, without most people consciously noticing. And it could have a beneficial effect on a song, or not. Exact tuning just doesn't matter to people without perfect pitch - relative pitch matters.
I used it a year ago to book a last minute hotel, when I got to the hotel 30 mins later they said they hadn't gotten it and they had no rooms available anyway. After they called Hotel Tonight and 20 mins of waiting for faxes they found a room for us though.

Not sure if that's a positive review or not, but it worked out for me.

> Can anyone still take the other side in a negotiation (or any other situation, really) seriously if it becomes know that they're trying to pull this parlor trick?

These are not tricks, they are human elements of communication that have been likely honed over millennia.

A good example is the influential properties of touch: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-attraction-doctor/2...

Tell me something, if a naturally-persuasive person uses these techniques (without realizing it) and a naturally-receptive person is influenced by them (without realizing it), is it still a "ridiculous, repellent parlor trick"?

If not, then why does simply knowing about it make it manipulative?
I'm sure it is massively more expensive but why not put some probes on the moon and have those probes syndicate.

Introducing myself has never been this hard
> I have never performed at a pitch higher than 440. I'm sure it happens sometimes, but I think it's more of a niche thing.

In addition to varying by era of music, as you mention, this also varies by country. My violin teacher had done a lot of traveling and performing in different countries. She told me that, in one country[0], she was given criticism that her tuning was off in her solos. She realized that they were using A=445, and their ears were trained on that, so everything she played solo sounded flat to them[1]. Once she discovered this, it was an easy "problem" to fix!

[0] I wish I remember which countries - I think Austria and Germany? I can't be sure. I'm almost postive it's not Russia, because I think A=435/438 is more common there - or at least was at the time.

[1] It's only really relevant for solos, because for a trained violinist playing in an orchestra, tuning is done by ear. So a professional violinist would adjust to the tuning used by the group without really thinking about it.
