To solve (1), just any old scrap of paper, which is then (2) transferred to a personal wiki that lives in dropbox. I use this one (tiddlywiki.com), but anything with tagging and search would work. I appreciate the organization by time, tag, or list, and also the latex and markup support, but these are not essential. Semantic search would be even better. Ive used this to capture ideas, notes, code, writings and lists. It has been essential for my work/dissertation.

I see the personal wiki as an evolution of the commonplace book, that was kept in the past by the likes of Darwin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonplace_book). Here are some of my notes from the book Where Good Ideas Come From

"We know much of Darwin's thinking on the development of his ideas from his extensive notebooks, which he read, and re-read and recombined. This era was the time of the 'commonplace' notebook, in which long passages of quotes from other sources and thoughts were recorded. Reading and writing were apparently quite related. These books may have struck a balance between silo'd organization, and utter chaos, allowing the development of theories beginning with hunches which could then be further developed. The key to developing a hunch into a theory appears to be writing it down "
You just don't get it. Who cares if its true! Try, for a moment, to put yourself in the shoes of someone of the opposite gender (I assume you're a man) and imagine how that would make you feel about joining a company board after all that's happened with Uber so far on the sexism and gender discrimination front. If you did, you'd never have written this comment...but you seem to have an empathy issue.
How about you educate yourself first: http://web.stanford.edu/~eckert/PDF/JamesDrakich.pdf

Nearly every study shows that men talk as much as women, if not more than women. However, men see their talk as "important networking and collaboration" and women's talk as "unimportant trivia and gossip"
Getting image recognition to work to "replace" radiologists is both a game-changer and a HUGE money-saver and thus a GIGANTIC opportunity. Radiology is the most common specialty and one of the highest-paid in just the US -- 40,000+ radiologists earning $350k/year (so maybe $15 bn in salaries). Radiologists and thus some of the smartest & most capable people in the country and they spend the whole day just looking at images...computers should be doing this!! Not only that, computers will soon better...for many skin tumors and others, even the leading human experts differ in their opinion, so humans today out-perform computers but I don't foresee that being the case for long.

A game-changer in cancer treatment would be "early detection". Once it gets to be inexpensive to analyze images, then we can have vastly earlier cancer detection...you could work into a scanning machine in a local pharmacy, get scanned & get the analysis right there...you could go in for monthly scans. Theranos had something of that vision with a drop of blood in pharmacies which could also provide very early detection of cancer...but they didn't execute technically among other issues.
I'm sure many people don't think this applies to them because they don't use threads. However, in the modern day, replace "thread" with "process" and "memory" with "database", and many web applications have very similar problems. They just never actually manifest because of the small number of requests per second.
Since this has come up in the thread, I'll put this out there. While this would be an inappropriate comment regardless of whether it's true, it's also based on a unsupported and probably false generalization: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=4488.
It's simple. There is no way Firefox can guarantee anywhere near the level of stability and security Chrome offers without a process per tab. OS primitives operate in terms of processes (scheduling, memory, sandboxing, and so on) and Firefox will not be able to use any of them. I really want to use Firefox, but I'm almost certain not doing a process-per-tab will be the last nail in its coffin. The code will be more complex to maintain, and no advantages in security or performance will be gained, leading to less users and thus less maintainers.

If there was one thing that caught my attention with Chrome back when it was released (2008?) it was its reliance on OS primitives (processes) as the building blocks for a stable and secure browser. This is essentially the same argument the Varnish folks did when comparing to other proxy solutions like Squid back in the day. I don't understand why Firefox is taking this route.

You're being disingenuous by sneaking in the notion of long-burst fire. Your point about mussel climb and automatic fire is akin to saying "if you hold a pistol sideways -- gangsta style -- and repeatedly jerk the trigger, your accuracy will suck". Well duh! Use the thing properly!

Yes, firing from the hip on full rock-n-roll is less accurate than controlled shots from a pistol, though I should think that was both obvious and beside the point.

Carefully controlled shots from an SMG are systematically better-placed than carefully-controlled shots from a pistol. Full stop. Moreover, SMGs are so damn easy to control (again, assuming they're used properly, i.e. with the extensible/foldable/fixed stock) that you can trivially put 3-to-5-round bursts in a human torso at 5 meters. Anybody who can't do that has no business carrying an SMG.

Surely you'll concede than in just about any professional situation, full-auto fire is not used. Full-auto fire is a suppressive technique, and as such it is largely relegated to military action (and not with SMGs, by the way).

It is absolutely absurd to suggest that pistols are more accurate and more controllable than a firearm with a longer barrel and stock.

Absolutely, astoundingly absurd.
Unless you were interviewing for a position that required that sort of knowledge, your interviewer was just being an asshole.

I worked for a short period at a large US bank branch office in the Netherlands. The stuff that got said there about the women working there when they were out of earshot (and sometimes within) does not bear repeating. It's only in the last decade or so that this is (slowly) improving but workplace harassment is on the order of the day and I won't hold my breath until it is all behind us.

The issue with most 'basic principles', is for somebody who's looking for the basics (a beginner), they're super hard to apply to their actual work. I think basic principles are much better learnt through analysing, and imitating other works.

That's because most people will call these things guns ("the suspect had a gun") -- unless it's something obviously special and/or well known (e.g. an Uzi), and sometimes not even then, they don't delve in the minutiae of whether it's pistol, revolver or whatever. Non native english speakers (e.g. 90% of the internet) even more so.

Well, it's because it's because checks are super common in the US! They can't understand the trouble you have with them because paying via check is normal business practice in the US; nobody in the US has trouble cashing them.

Math That May Have Mapped the Brain in 11 Dimensions
I'm really not the person to talk about styles of address, current or historical. Referring to someone solely by their surname is typically a male-only thing as far as I am aware. I believe that it's especially prevalent in english schools. Women might technically not have an independent right to their names as they would take up their husband's name upon marriage. Being called by one's first name is familiar and in the context of a public figure demeaning. Consider the effect when someone refers to Obama or Trump -- no one needs to disambiguate who these names refer to. We refer to Marissa Mayer because she's not notable enough to simply call her Mayer. That would be my uninformed take on things, at any rate.

Yes, I believe the oldest trees on Earth are around 5000 years old. Some Fungi systems could be extremely old...but they sort of clone each other so it's not exactly the same organism living...but that said most of your cells except neurons seem to die and get replaced, so continuous living is open to some interpretation. You could say the creator of the Venus Willendorf is the oldest "living in our memory" human being...the sculpture is thought to be 35,000 years old and continues to influence artists today like Jeff Koons.

That would be a paradox resolution. I suggest to likewise think of the short term effect as harm, so the long term effect is the accumulated harm.

Just like a light hit on the head would increase awareness, but increasing the force and repetition of the hits on the head is not well advised, when the effect wears off after overuse - to say nothing about the immediate effect of getting hit.

The perceived short term benefits are only secondary effects. And with regards to nicotine, all the arguments in favor are to be treated as extraordinary claims.

I wonder how the testing methodology works.

Let's try and take this apart.

"It is statistically true that women speak more than men" [1], therefore it is wholly appropriate for this guy to crack this comment as a joke, interrupting a woman talking about the benefits of more women on the board, at an event specifically about sexual harassment.

Is that your argument?

[1] Is bullshit, by the way. Studies vary widely, and in some studies indicate that it depends on context to a degree that the conclusion that "women talk more" is basically meaningless.

I'm sick of people defending poor long-term decisions by saying they're short-term efficient. The providers aren't helpless entities these things are just happening to: they chose to go down a route that was expensive long-term, but cheap short-term and now are asking to not have to face the consequences of that. I can guarantee that every single institution facing this concern received a technical report pointing out exactly this issue -- and chose to ignore it so a manager could have a bigger bonus.

Instead of addressing the problem, they're asking to be let off the hook of their poor decision making and laying the groundwork for the same mistake. Continually bailing out such poor decision making isn't prudent.

Why would they ever change if there's no consequence?

This isn't a long-term strategy we can afford to support, so we're obligated to let it blow up in their face.
The problem with this comment is that it's uncivil, baselessly inflammatory, and launches the discussion right into generic flamewar territory—territory that Hacker News needs to spend exactly zero time in. Please don't post like this again.

I don't think there was ever a time that people didn't have alternatives to windows server and ASP.

Maybe there was a time that ASP was more popular than the alternatives, but I personally haven't observed such thing.
To anyone who did not bother to read the article, the comment was something along the lines of "adding more women to the board will ensure more talking."

The remark wasn't directed at an individual, wasn't harassing, wasn't despairing, wasn't sexual, wasn't crude, and definitely wasn't in any way malicious. I realize it's trendy to get offended now-a-days (one word? three?), but come on. Seriously? This is what we've been reduced to getting worked up over?

To be honest, the context of the meeting makes this extremely tame joke kind of funny. I have zero problems with this and am actually a little salty I spent the time to type this reply about a non-story.
Rebuilding the Rocket Ship In-Flight
>> You're being disingenuous by sneaking in the notion of long-burst fire.

Not really. Try moving a fire-selector from safe to semi under stress and see how quickly you stop. Then look at the number of shots fired from fully-automatic weapons during police shootings. Then tell me long-burst fire isn't a concern when deciding where they should be deployed.

Curious if you've ever fired a submachine-gun on full-auto? You'll either rise significantly within a few shots or you're applying enough downward pressure to make it very unstable during recoil.

Terribly sad that Microsoft canned the entire team and the project will not move forward any more, after so many decades. I still have really vivid memory of seeing FS1 run for the first time on an IBM PC monochromatic green screen - achieving the impossible even before graphic cards were a thing!

NSTHA and IIHS have different ways of rating cars. The best would be to top the leaderboards for both agencies, but Model S being first place and Model X being second place ain't no easy task though. Tesla has since addressed the issue since that test, so whenever they have another Tesla to test, it will reflect in that score.

I'm wondering if anyone knows a link to the leaderboard that Tesla mentions that the S and the X are the top two vehicles

It's not about running 'yes' at 10GB/s, it's about less overhead to do a simple job. If this version of yes is 100x faster, that implies it using 1% of a cpu to do the same work that would otherwise occupy 100% of a cpu. This leaves more of the machine to do what is likely to be the intended task.
