Is anyone using this or Reveal.js for non-programming/creative talks? I'm in science and haven't tried either solution yet, because it never feels right to only show either a bullet list or a single image on a slide.

Obviously getting a gridded layout via grid/flexbox is possible, but isn't this a common need that was solved by someone else?

Edit: just had a closer look at Eagle.js and it does support a gridded layout via its .quarter class.
As a daily and happy user of an iPad I think these devices still have a long way to go before they become a desktop replacement.

Let me illustrate this by outlining a bunch of small tasks I, as a music collector, am confronted with several times a week:

- buy a bunch of releases from bandcamp or other digital stores

- download them

- extract them

- if necessary convert them to Apple Lossless (ALAC) at 44.1 KHz / 16 Bit

- check and adjust the meta data / tags of the files and have them renamed accordingly

- move them to my NAS from where they are served to various devices and players around the house

All of these tasks are fairly simple and should be easily handled by an iPad, yet the OS and lack of a real file browser is limiting the device's abilities to such an extent that I have to get back to my desktop to handle these mundane duties.

You might argue that my use case is a very niche one, the ways in which computers are used are made of countless niche applications and tasks, which repeatedly show the limitations of tablets and phones, despite their potential.
It’s not at all difficult to imagine a scenario where his life is better after turning down Instagram. I wouldn’t even say it’s unlikely.

Just name one important relationship he formed in NYC. Done. (Or any of the other infinite ways events could have unfolded more favorably in NYC than in a hypothetical SF)

An engineer in America is wealthy, and has lots of opportunity to see and experience new and interesting things. The idea that his life is almost assuredly worse just because he forwent one unlikely opportunity to become wealthy 50x over instead of just 5x over is silly.

Of all the choices he’s made and will make, I doubt that was a very important one.
> I think they all believe Australia is the easiest place to try and get the legislation through.

And they're correct. Australia is used for all sorts of unsavoury things, from spec-ops operations that other countries don't want to take the risk on, to taking over PlayPen(?) and operating it for months -- we don't have strongly enumerated rights, and our authoritarian past has never actually been dealt with. The same people, or those they trained are still in power.
They are not doing me a favor. Software companies need to stop believing their own paternalistic propaganda. Nobody at Google is in a position to determine whether they are doing me a favor or not.
If you were a doctor, would you be trying to cure your patients or keep their bills coming in?
Yes. I can write and install any shitty program I want on my Apple device. No problems there.

But when it comes to other people's devices, those other people probably want a say in who the device is open to and when, and for what purpose. Apple helps make it possible for them to have a say.

While I am free to install astoundingly shitty software on my own iPhone/iPad/Mac, Apple makes it difficult for me to install shitty programs on other people's Apple devices without their knowledge or consent.

Seems like a reasonable way of doing things. Open for your own device, and others get to decide for themselves what they are open to for their devices.

When I started coding in C++ (Turbo C++), 640 KB were just fine, I could even make use of a full TUI framework (Turbo Vision).

Hence my point of view about PIC class processors with single digit KB, being eventually the only target not possible to use with C++, unless one wants to suffer a bit with linker scripts.
...responsibility of Chinese state to adopt capitalist strategies of generating wealth. Thats the big thing they did different from soviet union. Everything else they do is pretty run of the mill geopolitical selfishness.

The problem is that you're in the 0.001% of people who want their software complicated like an airline cockpit.

Most people don't give a shit, they just want to check their gmail and couldn't care less. They don't even read the alert boxes that do pop up. They just click almost anything blindly.

As a result, companies get away with dark patterns and privacy-compromising changes like this.

I'm somewhere in the middle. I don't want airline-cockpit controls, but I do want the ability to not sync to the cloud/NSA if I want.

I also don't want to be tricked into syncing by some dark pattern silent update that makes an ambiguous clickbox that doesn't clearly say what the privacy implications are either.

There are different ways. search is one of them. You can compare this with finding interesting articles to read.

For example, I want to binge listen to all podcast episodes of a person, eg kevin systrom https://lnns.co/Ut_qSy6-TwP

You can take a look at my playlist https://lnns.co/8OfbFlditV2
Please don't take HN threads off topic into generic ideological tangents. Those are predictable and tedious.
the devs. its their project, they own it.
How do you source the podcasts? Do you consider YouTube interviews as podcasts? A lot of great content on YouTube is functionally equivalent to Podcasts (two people talking, interviews, etc.). I tried looking up the viral interview where Joe Rogan interviews Elon Musk (searched "joe rogan" and "elon musk" separately to increase my chances) and nothing came up in your search engine.
My workaround for now, which I hope continues to work past Chrome 69, is to use Incognito-Filter to force all google.com accesses to open in Incognito Mode.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/incognito-filter/c...

This way I can log into Gmail and it won't log me into Chrome.

Obviously not ideal, and it doesn't excuse the deceptive and user-hostile malware Google just foisted on us, but it's a workaround.
Startup A.

First things first: if you're being offered a position at a startup-b-level now, you're likely to qualify for working there in the future too.

More concrete things: 20k$ more on base salary and free lunch are real world perks.

You'll make up for the 10k$ signing bonus in the first six months alone anyway.

ublock Origin blocks third-party content, including silly fonts hosted by Google, just fine for me.
Both services seem like great ideas that have largely gone extinct. Radio that you never lose reception with... streaming music with a user-seeded playlist... just hard to get excited about in 2018. Or 2008 really.
You like the price/performance improvements we've seen from Intel in the last couple of years thanks to competition from Ryzen? Thank the govt for that. If there weren't action taken, AMD would have died long ago due to a bunch of things like anti-competitive supplier agreements with PC makers, benchmark cooking, compiler 'enhancements' etc. (see the five years prior to Ryzen to get a small taste of what that future looked like)

You like Google search and other Internet sites and services? Had the government not intervened, Microsoft would likely have continued down it's preferred path of using Windows and Internet Explorer as a choke point. This would have prevented companies like Google from ever getting traction to the point where they had the revenue to do anything remotely like what we've seen in the last 10 years. Microsoft would likely have found a way to box Amazon in and extract a fee from them on Windows (i.e. think what Apple does re: getting a cut of sales in its app store, only for all retail sales on Windows machines) and maybe they never would have gotten to a size/scale where they could have gone on to do things like AWS etc. There would have likely been 'problems' with the iPod that people wouldn't have experienced with the Zune, and forget about Microsoft ever letting something like BootCamp happen... Apple's fate would have likely been very different. (and without the success of the iPod it's unlikely that the iPhone/iPad ever would have happened or if they did Microsoft would have likewise found a way to contain it assuming they hadn't already killed/acquired Apple to get them out of the way.)

There's a very good reason why you didn't see companies even remotely like FAANG succeeding in the 90's: Intel and Microsoft didn't allow the companies around then to thrive if they became a threat. You can say 'well, all these new companies are on the Web and that's how they succeeded.' The problem is, the Web requires a computer of some sort to connect to it. In the late 90's, Wintel controlled 95% of them or so. I suspect 10 years from now, the next generation will either be saying 'see, there was no need for government action... look at all the competitors those old FAANG companies we have today' or 'no one is able to compete with these FAANG companies... why won't the government do something?'
> it's certainly a pretty silly failure of their vaunted algorithms.

I totally agree, it could be as simple as the algorithm finding more usages of 'gun' and 'rights' on the Gun Control page than on the Right to Bear Arms page and basing its decision solely off that. However it could be as complex as skewed data in a deep learning model that takes in every users search term and subsequent selected result. No one really knows exactly how its decided except Google's own engineers.

The fact that most other, very similar search terms provide the expected results suggests to me that it is not an intentional misdirection, otherwise the other search terms about guns would also show the Gun Control page.

>>This can lead to weirdly misaligned incentives, like C-level executives on a failing company trying to get fired because their severance package will leave them better off than staying with the sinking ship.

If anybody is fired in the U.S. they are almost always never entitled to severance. Severance is primarily available for employees who have been laid off. Such companies would love to fire executives in the true sense of the word if they had cause to save on any costly packages.
uBlock blocks remote fonts. Between sites hosting their own assets becoming old fashioned and font's being used for icons it breaks a lot of things.

Statistically insignificant.
Ask startup A for a $10k signing bonus to match startup B. Free lunch vs lower health insurance looks like a wash. $20k more base is probably worth more than $20k more in options.

Aside, what does "$20k more stock options" mean? $20k more in strike? The strike value is how much the stock has to be worth before the options are worth anything. And if they're issuing you in the money (i.e. Series B strike price) options, then you're going to have a nasty tax bill.

In my view, there is a case for civil disobedience. However, if you are going that route, then you should be prepared (and possibly even welcome) the consequences. Your goal should be to draw attention to the problem and put pressure on the government to change its laws.

This tactic is very good if the government is likely to respond to that kind of pressure. Gandhi and his followers risked death for their actions. Gandhi referred to them as "soldiers" because, even though their battlefield was political, the consequences were the same. Through the horrific deaths of the disobedient, the British government was forced out of India. Before you engage in an act of civil disobedience, you need to understand the playing field. For India, Gandhi surmised (and was correct) that the result would be as inevitable as the losses, and people willingly sacrificed themselves for the cause. This will not always be the case (and I would be very much surprised if it is the case in China because there is very little pressure that can be effectively applied to the Chinese government, whether inside or outside of the country).

So if civil disobedience is not the goal, what is the point of trying to work around the spyware? Obviously to avoid being spied upon. But it's important to understand that it is breaking the law. It makes you a criminal -- with all the downsides that can bring. It doesn't matter whether it is moral or not. Being punished for breaking the law is an incredibly wasteful thing to do from the perspective of trying to make the country a better place, if you are not going the civil disobedience route (and hence using your punishment as a strategic weapon against the government).

So what can you do? Possibly nothing except wait. Fighting and losing may be valiant and courageous, but it's also ineffective. Wait until you can make a difference. Prepare, and plan and store all your energy for the one time where you can succeed. If it doesn't come in your lifetime, then prepare the next generation to wait. Nothing is forever.

And if you want to know how to communicate: never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway. As the top reply on SE currently points out, make your cellphone squeaky clean and ensure that there is a lot of normal data on it (i.e. use it like a normal person). Communicate secret things in a different manner.
Poor parts of Africa, Asia and Oceania are the ones who suffer and getting perpetually killed by this disease, not just malaria, even dengue, yellow fever, etc which have may have cause by mosquito. Why it keeps happening is that because they don't have really help from the Government about proper health care and education on how and what to do to avoid this. People, specially on poor status, mostly rely on their homemade or even herbal treatment that we knew will not help them at all. Malaria is a curable disease.

Also, Zoho is among the most trustworthy companies list of mine. They don't do funny business with AI and targeted Ads with your data.

You try, you pay and you use the software. Traditional, no-nonsense business model. I respect both Apple & Zoho for doing this. Just because Apple has a platform to run ads (The App Store), it doesn't mean Apple is in the advertising business.
Four Programming Languages from Forty Years Ago – Scott Wlaschin
Yeah, I have to agree with the sibling comment - how are you coming across this content? I never see any of it. Al actual photos taken by actual people I know. As far as I’m aware it hasn’t really changed since I first used it years ago, though I’m sure there are a million features I ignore.
Based on the info you provided, there isn’t really an economic difference between the two offers.
As a result, if I were you, I would try to decide based on other parameters: how do you like the product, the people you would be reporting to, opportunities for personal growth, etc.
All else being equal, I would go for the smaller company, as intrinsically it’s likely to offer more opportunity, or continue interviewing with more companies to get more offers.
IANAL, but I think the gdpr/antitrust case lies in the other direction,E.g not in [login on google/youtube]->[logged in in chrome] but in [logged in in chrome] ->[Can't use youtube/google anonymously].

If we take all of googles privacy controls and privacy policies for the truth, they now have an additional way to track me and I can't disable this without completely missing out on any other google service. This propably also circumvents any installed cookie blockers (but only for google) which could be interpreted as not honoring the denial of tracking.
This is in Xinjiang region.

Muslim minority (but majority in Xinjiang, more or less resisting forced assimilation). Regular Han people don't really have much sympathy for them, and since China is nowadays an ethnostate, the state won't care either.

They would not currently attempt to do this in Han cities.

This seems like it could actually hit the sweet spot I've been looking for. It won't make people dizzy (Prezi) and it supports reasonably sophisticated branches and interactions - making it useful as both a presentation tool and something you can send as a companion to a presentation, after the fact.

Other than Prezi, Reveal and Eagle, are the other presentation tools we should check out?

"That was risky, because Babel is open source—meaning it is freely available online, and users don’t have to pay for it."

I don't get why many seem to think that Open Source = No cost for the user. Now I haven't read up that much on the OS philosophy so that might be why, but I have read a bit about free software, like Free Software, Free Society:
Selected Essays of Richard M. Stallman[0] for example, how anyone could mistake free software as software at no cost is beyond me. You can of course make it available at no cost, but then, it's your problem if you're not getting paid. Free software basically means that you're free to review and edit the software as you wish, (with some other implications as well if you read up on the GPL-3.0 license) and as far as I know, that's basically the purpose of open source as well. I thought companies, or developers, made their code available to get feedback, find bugs and issues more quickly, show the rest of the world that they have nothing fishy to hide etc. But I had no idea that it also meant that code automatically became gratis for everyone.

So they show a table confirming only two out of about eight airlines have a 28" pitch, and yet they argue the legal minima will become 28. Guys.. its not that hard: force the two dogs to come up to scale, set the minimum at 31" or 32" and then give some cost support to migrate.

PS Airlines re-configure seating when it suits them. The "it costs too much to move them" argument feels pretty tragically bogus. Somebody lobbied to hard, if thats being believed.

That way they don't have to depend on Microsoft for OS and can optimize their hardware performance, just like Apple does with OSX? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but I don't know any other place on internet that provides a better answer than here.

> We respected the family decision to not communicate about the event

You should know there's no "winning" when it comes to media. You'd have seen another article saying "Doctors don't obey family's wishes, broadcast death of patient".

But I can understand why the doctors wouldn't want to share this with the world. The general audience is 99.9% made up of title readers and googlers. And since public opinion matters in such cases they were all but guaranteed to blow the research.

And speaking of googlers, a word of advice for anybody who's not a doctor: finding "links" using Google and a handful of vague details in an article is a useless endeavor. You'll only conclude what you'd want/like the cause to be and even if you somehow get it right it will still be for the wrong reasons.

P.S. > there is "no" risk

I understood it as "there is no link between the study and the death". And one easy way to conclude this is to positively link the death to something else.

Show HN: METAME let you play cryptic alien retrogames
This study was submitted to Track II for review by the Editorial aboard at PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America) 4 years ago. The study was conducted by psychologists at Yale and editing by a professional at University of Melbourne, AU.

You can find the full article, free at https://www.jstor.org/stable/43278786?mag=when-do-we-have-em.... The article contains a full materials and methods section to aid with replication. The study design was simple enough to allow for relative ease of a repeat study. The authors applied relatively simple and traditional statistical methods (a more complex ANOVA) along with a mechanism to ensure that they were measuring empathy correctly by correlating measure of empathy with a separate measure of personal distress. You can dig into the details in the article, but it all seems to line up well.

In summary, you could probably replicate this yourself using Survey Monkey and Wolfram Alpha.
