For Android systems there is Orgzly. http://www.orgzly.com/

For iOS another possible option is Editorial. There are some script addons convert orgmode to MD ↔ ORG. This is incredibly hacky though, and I'm unsure how it works.

I use beorg but it still needs a lot of work to be what I'm looking for honestly.

"Turned out to be not statistically significant" is a very polite way of saying it... they initially said "up to 6 sigma significance", while it was obvious to anyone in the field that the data analysis in the paper was borderline crackpot.

It's not beyond the realm of possibility; I recall a convert to Islam (that looked rather out of place with his red hair, etc.) in the UK trying to perform "sharia patrols" in the streets.

I contest believing that young people going to beach in France or Italy would give even passing thought to what these people think or want, because it's completly outside the realm of my experience of the people that I've ever known to go to the beach, ever. A vastly more likely consideration is avoiding unwanted attention from people that approve of mostly undressed girls.

I don't think that you understand (I don't know, maybe you live here?) how socially -isolated- immigrants are.
> The bleak outlook is borne out across the country as industrial hubs shed tens of thousands of jobs. Ulsan, home to Hyundai’s heavy and automobile industries, was once South Korea’s fastest-growing and wealthiest city. Today, it represents the nation’s rust belt, the human toll of economic decline evident in the increasing spate of suicide attempts (nearly 200 so far this year). Young people are also fleeing: Having quadrupled since the 1970s, the population of Ulsan began to decline in 2016. Ulsan is just one of nine regions the government has dubbed “industrial crisis zones” and earmarked for almost $1 billion in support. Seoul is also in the process of implementing a $3.5 billion supplementary budget to create jobs and tackle youth unemployment, which remains intractable at about 10 percent.

I never expected to read about my hometown on HN lol. "Republic of Hyundai" is what Ulsanites jokingly called it because they own the province. The hospitals, public school, textbooks sponsored by Hyundai that needs to be closely studied to do well on exams that will ultimately lead them to follow their father's footsteps as a Hyundai employee, in order to afford Hyundai built apartment complexes and drive to work in a Hyundai car. At one point, Ulsan had the highest median salary in Korea. I remember hearing stories of a Hyundai employee who came to work in a KIA car (before they were acquired by Hyundai) and unfortunately was witnessed by the wife of a major stakeholder in Hyundai and proceeded to rat him out and fire him. Entire apartment complexes would be quiet with only housewives and elderly in them because the men are all at Hyundai, the kids are at a Hyundai built school who are brainwashed to accepting the system, one that promises to award rote memoization and standardized tests to determine your place in what I coin here as an Absolute Corporatocracy.

There were other weird incidences in Ulsan. Chinook helicopters landing in our elementary school yard at night, pamphlets raining down on kids in playground and air sirens announcing the beginning of civil defense exercise to simulate a North Korean air raid. The day after Kim Il Sung died we wrote about how unification was just around the corner and were rejoicing until North Korean submarines started showing up in fish nets triggering a nation wide manhunt.
I agree with most of your points but part of this bit is incorrect:

> Even if involuntary they 'trained' people's social skills and withered away at their acquired/innate social anxiety.

Humans don't have a shred of innate social anxiety except perhaps in some odd pathological cases. Any parent who has dealt with a toddler that has yet to learn to talk will tell you that much. Toddlers who can't speak yet try very hard to interact with their parents and whoever else they meet. They've a fascinating ability to get themselves understood by their parents.

Science will tell you that much too. Humans are basically hardwired to communicate. Intensely. So much so that if you gather a bunch of deaf kids together without supervision they invent their own sign language. [0]

With that being said, kids do learn (or unlearn [1]) things at school. Including how to "socialize" (or not).

It makes me sad that the web design museum is mostly made up of corporate sites. Companies didn't take the web too seriously in the 90s and early 2000s...at least as it pertains to design.

If you wanted to look at good design back then, you went to fray.com, glassdog.com, 0sil8.com, zeldman.com, and others I don't remember. Oh boy those were the days...

Same here, pinboard and notion are a great combo. I use NewsBlur for feeds, but wish pinboard would integrate that.

I wonder if, when you put something new on, you should immediately do a search and then bookmark the search. Then when you can't find your target in Drive, you can search your search bookmarks. And when you can't find it there, you can search your search bookmarks search bookmarks.

Or you could write the locations of your targets on the backs of turtles.
I agree, and your comment hints at a degree of optimism. There are individual cases of privacy breach and institutional ones.

The primary processual means of protection we've come up with appears to be policy and regulation. Cultures differ so different policy and regulation in different places.

However, I'm seeing a trend of justifying privacy intrusion through the argument that "only the machine learning algorithm sees it". For any purpose, governmental or not, algorithmic or human, the breach of privacy is a breach.

I guess naturally we will likely find some kind of balance... or maybe not... but I do still believe we will be forced to confront the fact that we will see and know more of each other.

I'm not sure, that might be a good thing in one light, having to face each other, and the end of the concept of natural privacy on the other. Perhaps only those with the means to enforce their privacy will be able to in the future.
I think that agrees with your point that outside of certain situations it might come at a premium. Or maybe it will come at a premium regardless of environment.

I'm reminded of the physics concept "the observer effect", by observing something you change it. That change is what we must face when we are almost always being observed.

the monsters > spells was the thing I noticed too. After college in 2010-2012 I went to play some drafts for a laff like I used to when I was a kid. I'd flip through the card catalog for 20 minutes before it started and figured I'd just jump right back in.

I lost pretty handily, and the big takeaway was what you found.

I hate to say it because its the hokey hipster thing to note, but back when I was a kid and it was all Urza's Saga, Mercadian Masques, etc, the cards felt much more... gritty and real. Everything felt more bloody and less cartoonish and lightweight. Maybe that was part of being a kid.

Play is actually much better/more balanced than I remember though, by far.

Unfortunately no, because `import` is special syntax that just happens to look like a function call. It's not actually a function/object/etc. in the global scope. Here's what Google's guide to `import` says about it:

> Note: Although import() looks like a function call, it is specified as syntax that just happens to use parentheses (similar to super()). That means that import doesn't inherit from Function.prototype so you cannot call or apply it, and things like const importAlias = import don't work — heck, import is not even an object! This doesn't really matter in practice, though.

Using eval (or the Function form of it in this case) doesn't seem like a huge issue here, because if you're accepting a user-supplied `src`, it doesn't have to contain any malicious syntax escapes in the `src` string itself to do whatever it wants...they could just supply a perfectly normal script URL of their choosing that will be executed anyway.
I use a netbook with Atom CPU as my retro gaming device and it's fine for that. But with Chromebooks you are one accidental key press during the boot away from completely wiping out your custom OS you managed to install with quite a bit of difficulty. Chromebooks are very restricted, intentionally, you can't really compare them to similarly specced notebooks that could be easily repurposed for less demanding tasks.
Would help us to know more about the specific use case and goal you had in mind.

For now, generically speaking, I use OneNote for keeping track of my own generated ideas and pasting in things from other sources. For larger media I recommend having a network drive or using Dropbox.

I'm happy with OneNote.

For my more technical ideas where I'm brainstorming I have a nice leather journal (no lines) that I use for brainstorming. I tried using a Surface Studio as well with the pen and that works good too because you have an infinite canvas and can move things around. With paper / whiteboard brainstorming I frequently run out of room. Digital means I can just drag a bunch of stuff to make more room. Plus having the pen and choosing different colors makes it really freeform.
I think it's less likely that Saudi Arabian immigrants are the reason for the gradual change over the last few decades, which it seems you are suggesting. That's the only country I know which fits your description.

Isn't "importing" usually something we do with things, not people? Ahh, but your account name says you know you're trolling.

If we're conjecturing, why couldn't it be the immigration of "tens of thousands" of Americans - a country which generally prohibits women from going topless and people from being nude in public?

Postmates and Uber Eats are here too. Can't really see why people would use Rappi. You also have a service called Cornershop for groceries so Rappi's competition here doesn't make it appealing.
I'm from outside a major urban center, and I don't really see it being true. Yes, those things are gone, but cars are extremely common, and it's unusual that someone doesn't get one at 16, especially if they're the oldest sibling and can take the younger ones to school, etc. And even when people wreck, they're generally looking for new ones fairly quickly. And this is in a rural area with 20% of the population below the poverty line.

I do think smartphones are a lot of the problem. The kids have grown up not having to interact with anyone, so they rarely do. And they also don't know how, since they never had to learn. It's funny, as you can usually tell which students got their phones first from how they interact with other students.

And they still do hang out together a decent amount. Going to school sporting events, playing Fortnite at each other's houses, going out to eat, or even partying each weekend.

I see the loneliness issue creeping up more in the urban areas for the reasons listed above, actually. Or with those who grow up in an area and then leave it. Even if they come back, not all their friends will, and the people who stayed will have vastly different life experiences, which makes it difficult to make friends.

While I do see smartphones being an issue, as here kids don't really want to talk with each other but just be on their phones, even when "hanging out". That's what increases loneliness. Despite hanging out and doing stuff together, they're not interacting with each other nearly as much, nor on as deep a level.
What these doctors are missing is the power of statistical correlation to separate signal from noise. Yes, a single individual testing below 40% means nothing, but 20 people (or however many it was) all from the same office testing below 40% is starting to be significant.
It is fairly easy to make modern engines, even when housed on motorcycles, and most certainly when mounted in cars, relatively quiet.
A lot if not most of the modern car's engine noise is now made deliberately. Special noise chambers are added to amplify and shape the sound, acoustic isolation is foregone in design, and even in some cases engine noises are actually produced by speakers mounted on the vehicle.

While I agree leveraging the filesystem is the way to go in order to sort binary data (ebooks, papers, movies, etc), it's not true org-mode is not suitable to organize those.

Since it supports hyperlinks to a wide variety of data, and Emacs is so easy to script, you can definitely do that. For example, org-ref has a lot of functionality implemented to organize academic papers, including the corresponding PDFs.

In fact, a personal org-mode wiki could easily have one or more files devoted to personal pictures, books, papers and hyperlinks to those plus whatever metadata. There are some examples around if you google for that.

I do keep my personal wiki very close to a zettelkasten, but implemented in org-mode. Nothing special. Very simple. Small files that mimic cards, plus hyperlinks. I search using ripgrep, and I version control using git. A key feature is that I keep my task list and calendar inside my wiki too, but not version controlled.

Ask HN: What would you change about HN if you could?
Unfortunately Evernote gradually becomes worse and worse, at least on Mac. The very basic functionality of editing notes is buggy and slow. Issues keep creeping into both simple text notes and web clippings. Users are complaining about this for years, the devs do nothing but change the looks instead and bolt on corporate features (apparently corporate users don't need basic functionality working well?).

They have the weird community forum where employees don't post anything except for announcements. And now they have an extra tier before actual support, where your question is 'answered' by some community member or someone like that, who apparently can't be bothered to understand the question.

The Android app is a slow mess eating all available memory right away and/or refusing to edit notes. Inability to use SD cards is just what I want when the notes take 6 GB. And the website now “doesn't support” mobile browsers.

Pretty much the only thing where Evernote doesn't have better competition is the web clipper.
I loved OneNote until I tried to put some code snippets into it. Somehow over time they become unusable for cut and paste into *nix systems. Did you find a way to overcome this? I have no time to dos2unix everything.
If memory serves me well, ANSI SQL (the W3C of SQL) recommends the syntax adopted by TSQL and DB2. So technically, some flavors of this are not extensions to SQL, but indeed part of it.

Think of it as browser prefixes. Sooner or later all engines agree on a common syntax, with each one needing to support some legacy code.

And in contrast with what happens when you use some third party app, you can further filter matched rows, join them with other tables to your heart's contents, aggregate them, apply window functions, and what have you.
I agree that it seems suspicious and this sort of weapon has loomed as a likely culprit from early on. There are very good reasons why someone would carry this out.

That said, I feel it would be irresponsible to deny the possibility of a collective delusion. Particularly in an environment where folks are in constant close contact and under a feeling of stress. In my opinion, it's less than highly unlikely.
I read a lot of articles on TSLA and usually fail to see any mention of their power business. Granted, this is a small part of revenue right now ($1.1BN for FY17 of $11.8BN total), but growing fast and with some highly visible data points (Puerto Rico, South Australia). They are going to win multi-billion-dollar contracts if the US or other countries decide to rebuild their grids. As a TSLA shareholder, this opportunity actually gets me more excited about the future of the company than autonomy. It seems to me they have less competition doing huge battery installations than building autonomous vehicles.
