Browser tabs were a different part of the puzzle, for me anyway. This is my preferred way of managing information:

* My email pulls new information into my digital sphere of awareness.
* Browser tabs/history manage active context and mid-term working memory.
* Bookmarks (poorly) curate resources for long-term information retrieval.
* My git-backed repository of notes tracked my own thoughts and plans.

One of the interesting developments over the past decade is that computers remain usable for much longer than they used to, unless you are a gamer or need to do heavy programming work.

My 2011 Macbook Pro is still perfectly usable for everything a normal person would want to do with a computer. So is my parents' 2012(?) Mac Mini. I just bumped the RAM up to 8GB on both of those computers and they are just fine for web browsing, word processing, and HD video playback.

I suspect that Apple's problem selling iPads is related to this -- my iPad Air 2 is never noticeably slow doing any task, and I know people with pre-Air iPads who are perfectly happy with them. These are people who have plenty of money to buy a new iPad and would do so if theirs felt slow; they just don't notice any drawbacks to using an older one.
Just because you can't come up with any examples doesn't mean that other people can't. You aren't the only person capable of thinking of examples.

Some examples:

It's useful to know when you have arrived home and are no longer moving.

It's useful to know when you have started moving and left home.

It's useful to know where your home is so that it can guide you home and for other traffic related reporting reasons listed above and below.

It's useful to know where other homes are or other places you spend time, where it may be significant that you are arriving and staying for a long time, as opposed to for just a minute or two (as at a traffic light).

It's useful to know that your non-motion is not an indication of traffic being stopped on your road.

It's useful to know that non-motion when you are away from your home may be an indication that traffic is stopped on the road you are on.

All of these are directly relevant to explicit, openly featured Waze use cases.
This is also true. They were foolish to vote for the kind of person who left them jobless. They thought it wise to vote for the only person promising them something.

Fake rationality warriors on Wikipedia is a real thing. I have briefly made the mistake of participating in various nutrition articles before, and run into them. They seem to make extensive use of sources that don't support their claims, especially paywalled ones, with impressive sounding titles, that end up being glossy magazines with opinion pieces. There's a certain irony seeing science and rationalism defended in non-scientific and non-rational ways, and we should make more of an effort to call it out.

So, I've read the article a couple of times, It's pretty long. For those of you looking to get the most bang for your buck, I think the following advice is Golden:

1. Do NOT secure your sensitive accounts (facebook, primary email, bank accounts, twitter, etc) with your telco phone #. Telco Phone number is NOT secure!

"Create a brand new Gmail email account. Do not connect it to any of your existing email accounts. (When signing up for a new Gmail, you don’t need to enter a phone number or current email, although there are fields for you to do so. Leave them blank.) Once you’ve created the new island-unto-itself email address, create a new Google Voice number." Use this Google Voice # to secure your primary accounts, and don't have your telco # listed in any of those accounts.

But, make sure your New Gmail account is super secure, with a security key, as mentioned in the article.

2. Check the password recovery methods for all your sensitive accounts and make sure the answers aren't duplicated from any other site. Actually, it's best to remove them, if you can.

If any security experts want to chime in, please do.

He uses realestate as his argument, and that's about it.

And why not?

The rich Chinese know our system is less corrupt, more stable than their corrupt/fickle whatever. They know owning realestate in the United States is a no brainer. Why not shoot off a few emails and procure homes, and commercial buildings? You don't even need to be a citizen.

I can think of any country that makes buying realestate so easy. "You can't get a driver's licence, but you can buy an apartment complex.". I don't get it.
Why Spotify should copy Snapchat "Stories"
That's part of the point rather than separate. A closed system without any way to prove it's running something often can't to get 3rd party verification or user trust that's consistently believable. An open-source, tamper-resistant system can. Quite a bit of difference. Once verifications come in, the effects of reputation then allow users with less technical knowledge to learn what's trustworthy or not.

Ask HN: Jaded?
Hi (throwaway for obvious reasons),
I'd like to ask opinions on a situation where I'm just feeling horribly jaded with a large portion of the industry.

I've been working for a long time (over 20 years) in an array of industries (big four accounting, healthcare, small retail) and through consulting roles I've easily had exposure to over a hundred companies. And I'm having feelings about the industry I don't know how to address.

I recently noted this situation[0], and whilst I noted people were (rightfully) outraged, I was confused by the surprise. All I would think was "well that's every CTO ever, what's the shock here?".

I recently did a phone interview for a security role. When I mentioned to their "technical manager" that I had several CVEs I had found, he said "noone in real security cares about that" and went on to describe their penetration testing methodology, which meant basically reading out this disaster[1] word for word. My eyes glazed at that point and even after telling them I'm not interested, they've continued to pursue me. Likewise, a tech startup many of you may recognise approached me for a devops role. When I found out their production servers were whitebox desktops running Windows XP (and they strictly did not intend on changing that) I bailed.

These things are simply examples of the things I've been seeing for years, and I've gotten so jaded about how the average company carries themselves I just can't consider any role seriously any more. I find it incredibly difficult to talk to a hiring manager and not sit and scoff because I feel like I know what's coming. It's also a huge contrast to the world about online.

It's an issue, just not really specific to git and has been around for a long time. The issue is having source files or any sensitive info, under the web root where it could get exposed by an incorrectly configured web server. This is why modern setups keep the source code somewhere else and use some sort of application server behind the web server or similar arrangement.
You should read RationalWiki, various pomo terms and theories are written about as if there were anything behind them. The degeneration of the atheist community is making me seriously consider the unpleasant idea that religion serves the vital purpose of filling the "obviously irrational belief over which we bond" whole in our hearts, and we've abandoned it to our perdition.
That's basically the thesis of the paper, there is some randomness completely independent of both genes and environment. I think it's super cool but I can see how some (white) people would find this upsetting.
I think you're engaged in hindsight and rather glibly biting that bullet. Large swathes of sociology, medicine, nutrition, health research, governments (even where genetic influences are accepted) are premised on the assumption that one's environment and shared environment especially causally affect outcomes in ways that can be measured and quantified and used in research and provide paths towards understanding, control, and amelioration. Parenting, or air pollution, things of that ilk. It certainly is not obvious to most people that those are all minor effects of small importance compared to random developmental noise or other things.

Of course no one would be surprised to find non shared-environment variance components which were non-zero, but it's very surprising to find that they are so large: often larger than shared-environment effects, and sometimes as large or larger than heritability. This is one of the most interesting and counterintuitive findings of behavioral genetics, and experiments like OP put this in extremely stark relief. If clones in as exactly identical environments as researchers can create and perceive still wind up with such dramatic individual differences, how is science even possible on what causes the differences?

I’m a Fashion Stylist who works in Silicon Valley and help a lot of guys in tech up their fashion game. Love some of the advice I’m seeing on this thread! Since I don’t want to be repetitive, here are some other pointers to help give you some direction:

1. Create a Pinterest board and pin some looks you like. This will help you get a general sense of what style you are into (here are some boards that I made for reference, first 9 are all menswear related: https://www.pinterest.com/SupreetChahal/)

2. Make a list of what you need based off the looks you pinned. For the modern guy look, your list will most likely consist of: jeans, button ups, chinos, t-shirts, polos, shorts, street shoes, dressier shoes; Fall/Winter or SF year round: sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets, boots

3. Pick a color palette so you can mix and match your clothes. Your jeans and jackets will be neutral colors (navy, green, black etc.), but your shirts can have more color

4. Make sure things fit you nicely (nothing worse than a guy wearing something too tight or too loose). Some stores offer free hemming for pants, take advantage!

5. Find a good tailor (especially important for guys on the shorter side)

If this all seems like it’s not worth your time, check Yelp for a Fashion Stylist/Image Consultant. We’ll build you a wardrobe in a couple of hours and make sure you spend wisely. Most of my clients hate wasting time shopping, so I set up a change room full of outfits for them and all they do is try them on and buy what they love. Shameless plug, but if you want to read more about the process, check it out: www.stylebysupreet.com

Hope this was helpful!

> OK allows us to view a situation in simplest terms, just OK or not.

I disagree. I find that OK implies some consent or agreement.

In Chinese there's a word I don't know how to write but sounds something like "uh" that means more "I acknowledge" without implying agreement. Actually, I don't know if it's a word, but I hear it a lot.

Whether it exists in Chinese or not, I wish English had a word more neutral than OK or uh-huh. "I acknowledge what you said" is too clunky.
> It seems possible to me that it would be advantageous for there to be randomness baked into personality, to avoid things like 'decision making deadlock'.

There is no need for randomness there. This scenario is handled by frequency-dependent selection like the 'hawk and dove' model or the male/female sex ratio. If aggressiveness becomes too common, then it gets selected against until it's driven back down to a frequency where it's neutral.

This sort of frequency-dependent selection is one of the behavioral genetics interpretation of why we have personality factors, actually: see "The Evolutionary Genetics of Personality" http://www.unm.edu/~gfmiller/newpapers_sept6/penke%202007%20... , Penke et al 2007; & "The Evolutionary Genetics of Personality Revisited" http://www.larspenke.eu/pdfs/Penke_&_Jokela_in_press_-_Evolu... , Penke & Jokela 2016

"...are you complaining that Amazon..."

No. You asked "How is that different from a yellow pages?"

That's a pretty big difference, imo.

" the more orders you make through yellow pages, the more a pizza place will pay to be listed".

Huh? They might pay that, if they feel they're getting a good return, and/or to block a competitor from a particular page/size/etc. But they don't automatically pay more the more pizzas they sell to people who found them in the YP.
> They were foolish to vote for the kind of person who left them jobless.

Clinton's policies would've left them just as jobless (by way of her supporting the TPP, finishing off those crippled by NAFTA, which was a project of Clinton's husband during his presidential stint). When in doubt, vote for the person who says they'll burn everything down, which appears to be on schedule.

I'm not sure about how you would efficiently do this. (I'm not experienced with pure functional programming.) cloning the entire structure for every applied function sounds like it will be slow? is that not what you will have to do in practice?

i basically want the alterations to change the data structure, and i want them to do it according to a particular priority eventually. atm there is no priority ordering.

i can already make (almost) arbitrary functions, but you have to register them ahead of time, and they have to follow a particular pattern: http://inconvergent.net/arbitrary-alterations/. this is so that i can control the order in which they are applied, eventually.
Yeah, among many other reasons, this is an example of Canonical's general proprietary attitude coming back to bite them.

For instance, see this FAQ answer[1]: it comes right out and says that they have no interest in making it easy for anyone else to run instances of Launchpad, and that they only open-sourced it so that outside users could contribute improvements to Canonical's hosted service. I'm not surprised that nobody wants to work on a project like that unless they're getting paid to do so.

Yep. Lack of regulation can affect more than just the employees. If that plant can pollute like they do in China - everyone in that city would all have a negative impact. The Republican administration believes regulation is bad and must be removed. It's a shame what people would believe in the name of 'jobs'.
I wonder how much they could enlist others to solve this by creating something like an 'Uber Auction House' to basically buy and sell the right to reap Uber's cut for a ride. They could clean up on exchange fees while everyone solves this problem for them.
