SmoothDraw[1] is what Kahn Academy uses, but it lacks those features you mention. Milton[2] is an open source stroke based application, so you get infinite canvas and infinite zoom. Neither are network-based though and it's tough to beat a physical whiteboard.

If you have lots of foot traffic or little ones, consider getting a robo-vac too. We just got a Neato Botvac D5 and it is great for in-between cleaning vacuum runs.

Show HN: Simple HN, a Simple Android App for Browsing Hacker News
Admittedly there is no shortage of HN apps in the Google Play Store, however I wanted a side project to catch up on some newer Android technologies, get my feet wet with Sketch, and I enjoy browsing Hacker News every day.

Here's my take on a clean, simple HN client with just the necessities to browse. Any feedback would be appreciated, as well as feature requests for what to build next. Thanks!

I would highly recommend not spending time as a single developer submitting proposals, and instead start trying to build relationships with some of the winners/participants of past IARPA tournaments. They regularly bid on these IARPA programs and have some level of success. Getting on one of their teams as a SME or with a specialized offering is a great first step. If you're in the area, the proposer's days can give you an opportunity to get up in front of everyone and talk for a couple minutes about you and your capabilities to get your name out there.
If a terabyte is a lot of data to you -- and it is for many, many things, then this post is right; you should buy as much RAM as you have data, and access it accordingly.

The commenters who are saying disk has a different price/performance trade-off that is still valuable are also right, but that applies to large data sets.

i wonder if these massive mining operations have enough power to cheat the system: couldn't they quickly compute a series of valid blocks with the cheated transaction if they band together? the longer chain of blocks would win against a shorter one.

On the other hand they would have a self interest to preserve the system, if trust in cryptocurrencies collapses then the big miners would have a lot to loose.
Not sure i agree, on Server spec the ram cost 10% more than CPU like if CPU cost 2000 then ram cost would be like 2200.

Everyone says "I'm paying for X behavior from my 20s" when they reach middle age. In reality, it's just that's when the body begins to wear down and people naturally want to blame it on something so we invented a euphemism for it.

It's not science, there's no evidence. People in their 50s start to hurt more, and injuries that never healed right can be ignored when you're young, but start to hurt again later on. It's just a fact of life. If you tore your ACL in high school, when arthritis starts to kick in, you're going to feel that old injury again, because a torn ACL never really heals.
This assumes all quality can be expressed on a single scale of economic utility, which is an absurd premise.

I think the feeling that you are mentioning could be more appropriately called being at peace, purposefulness, meaningfulness, mindfulness etc. It is quite different from the western concept of happiness. I don't think Gandhi or his disciples were singing and dancing when cleaning the toilets. They approached this duty solemnly. This approach to life is indicated in the Gita where it says that you need do things because they are your Karma without any expectation of reward(read happiness) in return. In this view of life, happiness and sadness are both transient and therefore it is useless to pursue happiness or run away from sadness. This perspective is thus tangential to the western pursuit of happiness. In fact, I think it can be argued that the pursuit of happiness is the real cause of sadness.

Apart from Karma-based approach in Gita, you can also look towards the Service-based approach in Sikhism or the Non-Detachment in Buddhism. In Sikhism, service is an integral part of religion and every Sikh is expected to give at least some time to do voluntary service in Gurudwaras(Sikh Temples). This is mostly in the form of chores like cooking food, washing utensils, polishing the shoes of visitors etc.
In India, you can find some of the richest Sikhs doing these chores in Gurudwaras.

Similarly in Buddhism, detachment of the self is an important aspect of living a life which involves restraining oneself, cultivating discipline and practicing mindfulness and meditation.

None of them have any details about pursuing happiness specifically.
My understanding was that Gen Y originally referred to older millennial. At least, as a younger millennial, that's what I always heard them called growing up until the millennial term got solidified. Meanwhile, Gen Z is the name for the people younger than the millennial cohort until someone coins a catchier one.

As an aside, I always thought that the age rage for millennials was about twice as broad as it should be. I don't really find myself identifying with the older members of the cohort.

This is one of the best-chosen comments in the thread. The OP has encouraged commenters here to make generalizations about "NASA" software, but this does not make sense. It's too big, too dispersed, and the software developed is in a big range from research codes to operational codes to human-rated (see upthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14886727).

In short, s/w practices and the dedication and capabilities of the people writing the software vary too much to characterize at that level of granularity.

So what? The fact that something evolved for a reason doesn't mean that you have to do it for the same reason. Take outdoor camping, for instance. Our "ability to camp" evolved, because we had to survive in the wilderness. Yet, many people today do it (from time to time) for fun, not because we lived in the wild in the past.
It's really hard to grow your own pasta, and it comes from the store already in a package. It's hard to grow your own hot dogs, or vinegar, or ketchup.

This in a very apt analogy. Listening to stories from my dad of his early vehicles makes me both jealous and grateful. He was forced to learn how to do all kinds of component repairs and be prepared to do them on long road trips because cars would just occasionally break down. I'm jealous in that I was never forced to pick up all of the hands-on mechanical skills but I'm grateful that I don't actually have to realistically worry about constantly repairing my car to have transportation.

Fair enough, you changed my mind in that regard (if indeed it is the case that this is the widespread situation in the warehouse industry, which, again, I'm not convinced of based on word-of-mouth or one single blog post; nonetheless I will look into it).

What I was referring to as appalling, though, is the idea that this is somehow okay, somehow excusable, somehow not scandalous, either because "everyone does it", or because "it's unqualified labour", or any other excuse. There is no excuse. A company, furthermore one so obscenely profitable for its owners, absolutely cannot be allowed to operate this way and to treat their workers this way. That is what I classify as appalling. We the people cannot indifferently let that slide. We can give no rest, else the balance shifts entirely to their favour.
Funny that, now it has Latex math but not even cross-references yet if I'm not mistaken. If it had that I'd love to just use Pages for simple academic stuff, but as-is it's pretty much useless.

I don't think so. Chinese firewall can block VPN. For example, the easiest way to see if the user is using a VPN is to count a number of IP addresses they connect to.

How exactly?
My point: many people are dramatically unhappy due to finances... Either because they come from a lower economic class or because they are massively in debt precisely because they buy things (takeout and maid service?) that they cannot afford. The advice "spend to be happier" with this type of services seriously needs the caveat that not everyone should blindly spend spend spend.

> There's something slightly pathetic about an adult who has forgotten how to cook, clean, fix things, get around, and do all the other basic trappings of living because someone else does it all for them.

I assume you feel the same way about hunting/growing your food, disposing of your human waste, constructing your own shelter, etc? No? There's something more-than-slightly pathetic about an adult who thinks that their point in history is somehow a special one, where all of the customs happen to be the "correct" ones in an ahistorical sense.

> If you use your time saved on laundry to learn how to paint or chart stars or build a house or a car, that's respectable. But how many of the new upper crust are using their saved time that way?

Right...this is exactly what my point was. RodericDay's assumption that this is a bad thing relies on being a certain type of person who already doesn't know what to do with the free time they have. For those of whose who don't have that issue, the idea that it's a moral failing to free up time for things you find less interesting is entirely unsupported.
Something in this article doesn't add up. They surveyed 4500 people from 4 countries. Further down it says, that "800 Dutch millionaires surveyed ...". How both numbers can be true.

I even cannot imagine that a survey would manage to convince 800 millionaires to participate, but this is another topic.
Has that not already been tried? And if not, why not? LA has a government and they're surely aware of the transportation problems. One would think they could just pour their funds into this sensible approach and the problem would have been fixed two decades ago. And if that's not going to happen, maybe a desperate move is warranted.

Is this meant to agree with my point or rebut it?

This all started when sndean wrote the following:

Eventually you stop listening to everyone, even your coach. Running (and most sports) would do well to follow science and have a cited source following every statement. It's a little absurd when someone tells me I'm going to get injured if I don't do more barefoot running. I've been wearing this same model of Brooks shoe since I was 15. If you can give me a link to an article on Pubmed, I might read it.

rb808 replied with:

Wait until you get into your 40's and 50's, that's often when lots of bad habits start to cause problems.

I noted (obliquely, a bit snarkily) that this type of claim is literally exactly what sndean was talking about: that people make all kinds of claims with no evidence to back them up. And then rb808 demonstrated exactly that: "Oh, there may not be evidence now, but trust me, you'll pay some day..."

Your comment... I'm not even sure where it fits in, exactly. Yes, obviously people's body's age and don't heal as fast. No one is disputing that (and as a person approaching 40, I'm living it).

But what does that have to do with this specific, unsupported claim: that barefoot running is healthier in the long run as measured over decades.
