https://gpodder.net allows you to synchronise various (partially/non-overlapping) podcast lists to multiple devices and easily add new podcasts you don't find on the service's website. So you can actually just set up compatible podcast clients on the devices of your parents and let them enjoy new episodes without even bothering them with the actual links and the whole process of subscribing to new feeds (unless when they explicitly want to do it either through the client or manually on the website).
Ask HN: Privacy wise, worse to have unencrypted notes on Apple Notes / Evernote?
I absolutely need a cloud service to store my notes, and Apple notes or Evernote are the best apps that provide cloud storage and offline editing, without any hosting work on my part, and importantly backup concerns.

I don't want to encrypt all my notes, because I'd like to run some programmatic analyses on them by myself, eventually: collecting similar themes, creating word clouds, etc.

From one side, it looks like Apple Notes is a hands-down winner, because they have their own data centers, and have been more public about their hard privacy stance. Evernote uses Google cloud infra, have very few (~10) employees (more easy access to any data they want?).

However, I'm only wary about storing everything on Apple - my photos are already up there in iCloud - my notes as well would mean even more of my personality would be available for analysis by Apple if they choose to - and open to be hacked/handed over.

Is there a choice at all here? I don't like OneNote because the cloud sync is over OneDrive. The best option appears to be Apple Notes + locking every note - and I'll lose the ability to pull them all out with an AppleScript.

Minor inconvenience over all, I can find some other way out of that, even if it means manual copy-pasting hundreds of notes when I want to analyse.
We do that sort of thing already - see Santa Claus for example, where children are continually lied to about the identity of the person who brings them presents.
> because they are just all the same, 3D action and no substance

What do you count as "substance"? Have you played The Witcher 3? Life is Strange? Until Dawn? They are games with heavy narrative where your choices impact the direction of the story (in Until Dawn, any and all of the 8 characters can die or survive, depending on your choices). Or games like Bloodborne or Dark Souls, which, at first glance, are just action games, but when you look beneath the surface, they hide extremely rich and deep storylines (but its up to you to dig for it if you so wish) and incredible environmental storytelling. Or a game like Machinarium, which manages to tell its story purely through pictures. Or The Last of Us, which, while its a 3D action game (kind of), is the first game that, for me, surpassed movies in atmosphere, storytelling and getting me emotionally invested in the characters.

My point is that games have moved on and there are a lot of games out there that aren't "3D action with no substance". A lot of indie games aren't even 3D or action. There's a vast spectrum of games out there, I bet there's plenty that you would, in fact, enjoy.

> I for one would be very happy to see the return of this style of gaming

I used to play MUD's back in the day and even worked on my own MUD engine a few times. My most recent toy was about two years ago, but I abandoned it because I felt it was too depressing if I was the only one playing a multiplayer (text based) game. :(

What is it you are looking for in such a game, out of curiosity?
So is it basically that the specific heat capacity of the material in the top layers of the skin is altered when there's melanoma present, so when it's cooled one can observe that this part warms more slowly (?) than the surrounding tissue (because of density?).

It seems likely to me that there would be a difference in reflectivity/transmittivity too that could be detected by using a strong light source that could penetrate the exterior dermal layers. Presumably active scanning like MRI (or microwave heating - probably too risky) would show the differences well too?

Would be interesting to read about the range of methods that have been tested (conductivity using surface contact probes would seem another obvious method?).

The benefit, as it appears, of the current method is probably simplicity but it doesn't appear to scale to scanning the full surface readily.
I think any of the JVM languages like Java, Kotlin, Clojure, Scala, Eta, etc.

I'd recommend Pocketcasts as a multiplatiform podcast app. It has recommendations, trending, and search. If you want to leave it you can export an OPML file with your subscriptions.

It's not free (pay once per platform, including web app), but worth it to me because I'm a podcast junkie. I was using it on Android for a year, switched to iPhone, and all my subscriptions are there.

I switch back and forth between the web app and iOS frequently, and it syncs across them.

if you spend a week learning a new framework or package to solve a problem when you could code up a custom solution in three days, you've wasted time.

However, if you code up a custom solution that ignores some important detail of some deeper area of knowledge like security or concurrency, then your "3-day" solution might literally wind up costing millions or hundreds of millions. (Exercise: Name some famous historical precedents from famous companies relevant today.) Of course, the downside for your garden variety consultant is probably only worse by a factor of 2 to 10, but the point remains.

This is why the mastery of knowledge and practical experience necessary to reliably do such a cost-benefit analysis is very valuable. The upside in making decisions like this is something like saving 4 days or a week of programmer time. The downside can be literally worth a 21st century fortune.
I think you are focused on the style of dating (Quick hookups) where the person you are responding too is focused on the unique app feature that made tinder "Stand out" from the crowd (Swipe left/right).

In Swedish law these numbers are often specified as some multiple of the "price base amount" (prisbasbelopp), so there is a single constant that can be updated from time to time, which indirectly adjust all these other amounts in various laws.
Many cannabis products aren't possible to produce without a legal framework.

Say you want a consistently dosed 5mg edible. Does your state have a robust cannabis oil extraction and distillation infrastructure? Does it have rapid, reliable testing to quantify dosage? Probably not.

Maybe you prefer a live resin extract produced from fresh cut flower. You need to have refrigerated trucks in the field when you harvest, a -20C refrigerated room for product storage, and a processing lab. This kind of product is highly sought after but rare in the black market.

There's as much depth to the cannabis industry as there is to alcohol, tobacco, or food. It just wasn't clear to people when all they could purchase was the equivalent of moonshine.
No, the ID's cannot be revoked, and they are assigned at birth or at the moment you apply for immigration. There are some efforts to allow stripping dual-nationality criminals of their citizenship, but that process requires both a judge and a cabinet minister to sign it, and the ECHR will not allow people to be stripped of their only citizenship. And even in those cases, the national ID's will not be revoked, just invalidated.

So let's skip all the hypotheticals about having to recover one, unless you can point to an actual case from the EU, instead of Hollywood?
Depends. Is the black coffee disgusting or tolerable?

If the black coffee is disgusting to you by itself, then the sugar is just masking it and it's the sugar that you really like.

If the coffee just tastes plain but improves with the sugar, then it would be fair to characterize it as liking coffee.

I've talked to people who swear up and down that they like alcohol, but they only like Smirnoff Ice and cosmos and can't tolerate anything else. That's not liking alcohol.
> We had the option to do the right thing (burn it, put it on display), but we validated it.

I'm not sure complete amnesty was the best thing to do, but I don't think destroying the data would be the best either. If we had burned the data that was already gathered, it would have been a complete waste of human life. Those people experimented on were murdered, and burning the data would have made those murders pointless. By using that data, we could prevent human death in the future.
They don't call your generation entitled for nothing! Let's add victim to that, "entitled victims" is more descriptive. There are many cases where people need assistance and subsidy, but what most people are complaining about on this board is bullshit. If the way we do things here in the US is so bad, why does everybody still want to migrate here? Surely something is going right.
I would like to see how the system generalizes on different videos. The motion pattern seems to be quite general ... this can be used to analyze crashes during racing events for instance (http://www.tldvision.com/tld3.html).
Big box chains and suburban shopping malls were doomed to fail. They built in a boom time and built in places expecting to draw in new development and residents from tens of miles away. But they based all their site decisions on an impractical urban development model (suburbs) that turns out to not work in reality, and they lost their drawing power to online retail. Smaller form-factor retailers are doing fine because they can easily go where the demand is and provide better service without making customers feel like cattle. The big box chains are realizing this and contracting to smaller stores more conveniently located to try to keep up with the market. They still have a price advantage and people are willing to walk or drive short distances to have goods now rather than wait a couple days for their Amazon Prime package. I hope the massive amount of equity tied up in the failing subsection can be transferred elsewhere though...

1) My first publication in the topic, iirc. The only reason I can see them doing this when all the other reviews were good was eg. They have grant applications underway and feel undermined, or they are petty and don't want their own technique to look bad etc. (the extreme roadblocking and 'I won't let you compare performance or accuracy against other techniques!!' is a little telling imho...)

There are a lot of people out there who think a field of research and all the money in it belongs to them.

And there's some angry people who have effectively no power or influence over their own everyday life that act like little tyrants when they get to review papers.

(fwiw, I coauthored (1) without any grant support, just for fun, and don't think I ever applied for a grant in that area? I can't remember).

In researching the matter further I find that I was mistaken. I was thinking of the Privacy Act of 1974, which stated: "no Federal, State, or local government could withhold a right, privilege or benefit from a person simply because the person refused to furnish his or her SSN."[1] Somehow I've believed for many years that it applied to private businesses as well, my mistake.

The reasoning is to know what you're creating. Yes, iterators can probably also benefit from auto. But the concrete bug that prompted some introspection into what the rule should be was:

void mutate(Foo &foo);
...
for(auto foo : manyFoos) mutate(foo);

If manyFoos is Foo[], then the auto type is Foo, rather than Foo& and you're mutating a copy. The goal is to not get screwed by the type inference, so unless you can defend why it's obvious that the type is what it is, don't use auto. An auto that you need to ask the IDE for it's concrete type is a strong code smell.

Historically, registries of citizen identities have been used for horrendous exploitation of the public. They have been used to ease profiling, targetting, discrimination, and elimination of anyone who is politically problematic. Personally, I resist most sort of formalization or systemization of human life or identity. Any person who says "our policy doesn't mention your situation" or "the software doesn't allow that value/have a field for that" and considers this to be a problem of the person with a life that doesn't fit the mold the designers of the system fantasized about really ought to be punched in the mouth, and creation of an easily-indexed national ID is an important step in such systems.

Why do they want a NUMBER? Because names are too... human. They're messy, and they can change, and they don't fit standard forms. It's an impulse to purge the humanity from social identity that motivates establishment of national ID numbers.

If your example isn't scarcity I don't know what to tell you, if better wine is "scarce" those labors are what is needed to make better wine.

Explain how it is possible, and how the situation does not immediately solve itself with you stopping doing something you hate and are bad at.

As many have pointed out, "value" is subjective. Your terrible wine may be loved by someone. Or you may really enjoy making wine. As wine has zero intrinsic value, it is a luxury good, it's very possible for both wines to be just as valuable.

It has plenty of meaning, it just doesn't explain "profit."

It also means you're passing in a new closure to the render prop on every render. You can move it to a member on your component's class, but that makes your code far hairier. It's also easy to forget to put it on the class, so you end up setting up eslint rules, and next thing you know, you've made everything worse.
That was a red flag for me, too.

Though honestly, the first big red flag for me was that he wanted to open a restaurant because he loves to cook. This is a little surprising, the way people don't distinguish between the art and the business. It's as if a screenwriter decided to open a production studio, or a guitarist decided to open a music venue. The only finally successful guy I know in the music business (he got into booking and organizing) loves to jam, but he's not very good. Me? I love playing music, but I know that opening a cabaret wouldn't be the way to fulfill that. Honestly, sounds like the best way to ensure I'd never have time to play music again.

The funny thing is, I actually kind of like the financial and operational concepts in restaurants. I studied industrial engineering and ops research, and I loved the examples of restaurant queuing, batch processing, methods to reduce lead time, even supply chains, the way one decision cascades through he others. The idea of discovering that the marginal cost of one dish is much lower than the average cost because it can be prepared using the idle time during the prep and machinery for expensive dishes, that interests me.

No, not that I should open a restaurant, ha. But the guy who wrote this article does mention that he had a copy of "kitchen confidential", and in that book, Bourdain specifically talks about this, recounting the successful restauranteur who lives for these sorts of operational and financial challenges, takes a kind of joy and fascination in them, kind of how a tax lawyer loves finding ways to profit in the details, and that's why he's well suited for the business.

But yeah, anyway, your "big red flag" raised a big red flag for me too. Phoning it in on the pre-reqs and a learning opportunity is certainly a bad sign.

I'm talking about this because the issues are fascinating - I don't want to harp on the dude who write this, though, cause he clearly paid.

When the sirens are used it's great because you can tell what road they're coming along (after a while, it was much better with the "squelch" sirens) and anticipate in good time.

Agreed, waking everyone at 2am is not needed generally, but howabout alerting people at 3pm.

You appear to have inside knowledge here, presumably there's been some change in policy on this in the last - I don't know - 5 years, where it's been chosen during normal daytime callouts not to use sirens if at all possible?
> The Belgians on the other hand can really 'craft' beer.

Yeah they can. I think the last 3-4 six packs I've purchased were Belgian imports. They tend to have distinct flowery notes that I really enjoy.
>it seems like what you are trying to say is that alternative and conservative news is "fakes news", and they should receive algorithmic censorship.

That's an incredibly disingenuous if not an outright idiotic comprehension on what was stated. If a source continually propagates blatantly false news it doesn't matter what the political bent is. It's going to lose credibility. Just like if someone is continually caught in a lie, you might stop listening to them, regardless of what race, religion, sex, or gender they are. You're not censoring them, you just know taking them at their word is a losing gamble.

The fact that a host of popular conservative sources continually participated in spreading false and misleading information isn't the fault of any content aggregator, and in this case Facebook certainly wasn't at fault. In fact, it seems like a problem that should be earnestly addressed within the conservative sphere, instead of conveniently using it to bolster a political platform and help with general ad revenue.

If you want to spit out little pathetic buzzwords and engage in intellectual lukewarmness, that's your prerogative. But you're going to have a hard time attempting to cry victim, or censorship, and engage in false equivocations when other people or organizations stop taking these sources seriously and choose to stop lending them a platform to spread lies and conspiracy theories.

> Divide that by total global revenue and then at least that percentage of profit has to be taxed in that counry.

So companies like Amazon which are profitable domestically but are losing money overseas would pay taxes on profits from US sales to countries where they're losing money?

Presumably companies would just find ways to have high revenue and little to no profit in low tax countries.
