I use Notion for everything now - work and personal. The blocks are super smart.

I crowdsourced a bunch of workflows and product suggestions on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TZhongg/status/1067234359915163648

all I do is talk about Notion with my friends tbh. if anyone wants free $10 credit, here ya go:

I really doubt the camera is nearly as good as my DLSR, which is a few years old at this point, if nothing else because the lens is so much smaller in a phone. Second I have several (well two) lenses without optical zoom (40 and 50mm), which can achieve really low f-stops.

I wouldn't be surprised if a phone is better at reaction time, and possible for compensating for shaky hand moments. In the first case a DSLR has a mirror that has to be moved mechanically, in the second case the smart phone has much more processor power (and presumably better sensors).

And you definitely right that a better phone tend to mean a better camera.
Now how long before an AI writes the PERFECT song?
Perils of short-termism
Traffic source matters too. You could end up with a bunch of junk click from the search network while Google.com is doing just fine. If things are really unfavorable, google might start sending you youtube clicks. The more you are able to segment every possible variable, the more likely you are to catch problems and isolate out what is actually working.

I think the most important things are realizing that there is a ceiling on search traffic. For some markets, it is a very, very low ceiling once you’ve optimized out all of the garbage. The giant burst of clicks in the very beginning may be misleading.

VC backed startups often are able to dump a tremendous amount of money in to paid acquisition. If you take an already narrow search channel, the “winner” may end up being whoever raised the most money.
We actually canceled our shared Spotify account due to many similar friction points. The main benefit of Spotify was being able to discover new music, and I found it wasn't much better at that than subscribing to specific YouTube channels. The $10/month that I was paying to Spotify now goes towards about 10 DRM-free $1 songs per month, and considering how long I've been paying for Spotify, I think it's worth it. I imagine more of this $1 goes to the artist, too, compared to the royalties they'd probably have gotten from Spotify.
The product looks really really nice. Wish it had better accessibility, though - from what I can tell, everything is a div :/

No links, buttons, or anything (that I saw in my 5 min of checking it out).
Why not switch to part time? Nothing is permanent. Try taking 3 months off and see if you like it.
Great page, the software builds really easily. Try it!

Bitwarden is a niche application which handles very sensitive data. Value is created when it is hosted internally by a security sensitive organization.

When it comes to business and productivity applications the situation is very different. Many IT admins are tasked with moving to cloud (or other outsourced) solutions. When you see posts you have to realize you, or I, who value autonomy and control may not be the expected customer of these solutions.

To reduce the economics further:

* Startups like this have a product which may not have a complete market fit or reknown. They can't build something that's most likely to stick e.g. a required mail system because a couple of cloud products own the market. Therefore, they move up the productivity stack to team and document collaboration.

* Since they aren't a mature product and will likely change it considerably in the short-term, possibly "firing" customers as they search for a bigger market, they'll need their product to keep up. If they host it, then they can change it end-to-end.

* Any time you release a product that gets deployed on-prem it's virtually impossible to get people to update in a timely manner. Even if you decide to provide an on-prem version to a potentially huge customer, the enterprise sales cycle means that there is a risk your product will have changed before it gets deployed, but some person/process will prevent you get updated to the latest version as they advocate for a competitor.

* Worse, they like the old version and want to stay on it. How do you support these on-prem customers? They liked the value at your cloud pricing, but the cost to support on-prem customers can be much larger.
I do this plus set the prompt accordingly to remind me in which state it is

Give people enough money and few enough incidents that they feel that being on call is a good deal.

I'm on a team that's under 20. Nobody complains about being on call because odds are you won't get called and you get a few hundred bucks regardless. That said we don't have to deal with week day on call because half of us are in India and when the US is sleeping they are on call (i.e. their normal workday)
The front pockets on my jeans are 8x7 inches, or 7x7 if you want some margin to keep things from poking out. Anything up to about 4 inches wide is perfectly comfortable when I'm sitting, so let's say 7x4 for a device, minus a bit for thicker devices. A switch without the joy-cons is a good example of something that's right about at the limit.

An iPhone XSMax is 6.2x3 so it fits very easily. It's only a quarter inch larger than my own phone. An iPad on the other hand is 9.4x6.6, way too big. An iPad mini is 8x5.3, which lets it be crammed into the pocket but not be comfortable while sitting.
A disease of their own causing, I think was their point. People are probably likely to be biased against someone with terrible dentition from not brushing, or from using methamphetamines.
The HN title is very different from the real problem that the person had (using 1 account by multiple people at the same time, which of course is not allowed if he didn't pay for it).
Also, bird migration patterns are changing, therefore they must also be socially constructed.

When you use "socially constructed" to mean "influenced in any way at all by society," it becomes meaningless. Its strong meaning, "entirely constructed by society with no natural basis at all," is a useful idea.

I don't know that any serious person has claimed that attitudes about weight and homosexuality are unchanging human universals. Historical literature shows a variety of attitudes to both. Societies around the world have a range of attitudes. A post-modernist who claims to have discovered this idea is being disingenuous.
I agree. What's really broken is lack of a good feedback loop both to app developers and the OS vendors. It would be good if this translated to two things:

- google mandates that killing background apps must be based on actual battery consumption

- when an app that requested background permissions is background-killed, this is reported to the app developer and OS vendor in some sort of aggregate metrics they can see

- users should get some kind of report or notification as well about it

You would instantly see both OS vendors and app developers trying to optimise the battery life of their apps so that they can stay alive.

Ideally, users who want to should be able to actually set thresholds on how much battery any app can consume. Eg: if I am OK that my phone only lasts an hour I should be allowed to tell it to keep my minecraft server on on the background so everyone can keep playing.
I’m not sure from the poster’s description it’s just a hobby project. They evidently want to charge their customers money, so there needs to be some level of quality in order for that to have a chance of working.
I attended a terrific lecture by Michael Jordan at Rice in 2016[0] where he introduced the idea of inferential thinking. Jordan has several videos of that talk online, such as [1]. The big idea, the grand challenge, is that core statistical theory doesn't have a place for runtime and other computational resources, and core computational theory doesn't have a place for statistical risk. Merging those two tracks into one body of knowledge will keep people busy for decades.

After his lecture, I asked Prof. Jordan about the term "inferential thinking", as I was familiar with Jeanette Wing's work on computational thinking. He said that he coined the term "inferential thinking".

Worrying about looks is not a choice if it has real consequences on your career, especially when young. Women are especially pressured to maintain their appearance along many axises that are difficult to manage. This pressure presumably fades as one gets older according to the writer.
std::unordered_map has method count(), C++20 will be probably just a wrapper for the method.

I get that you believe this, and I even understand you repeating it to other people on the Internet. What I don't get is that your tone indicates that you are offended people don't believe what you believe... which also just happens to have been incorrect in the past and many others seem to think is provably possible in the future.
There are rules:

Unacceptable: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#una...
Spam: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#spa...
Copycats: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#cop...

You can't make your own App Store, you can't ship your own browser -- https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#sof... -- you have to use HLS, you can't use background features except for approved categories: "VoIP, audio playback, location, task completion, local notifications". "Apps that create alternate desktop/home screen environments or simulate multi-app widget experiences will be rejected."

I'm not saying the rules aren't much improved from what they used to be -- it's been years since the simple advice was "don't ship something we ship," but ... at its core, it's still somewhat true. You have to ship an original app -- and all of the app categories you mentioned have truly original apps on the App Store already.
> You can still only stream music from one device at a time on a single Google Id even with the Family Plan.

Is this no longer the case?
Not sure about the original Athlon 64, but Pentium D's can apparently run, e.g. Win10 for x86-64 and its associated software (barring ISA extensions, of course) - surely that's good enough for some users. Especially if you could reimplement the "clone" on a more recent physical node than an actual Pentium D.
Thanks. Will it include offline attachments?
reading through the thread though I get the impression that this is not necessarily the case.
No such thing. But AI will definitely write pleasing music in the next 10 years~.
My experience with pocket dialing and speakerphone calls leads me to believe my phone is a much less capable listening device. Many people still have phones where constant listening would supposedly drain the battery.
Hey wait my company uses Window 7!

My company moves at a snails pace, maybe this year we will even go to the cloud! (been talk of this for years...but no action!)
The problem is that economic reality doesn't allow for the market to clear for such product.

In other words: you're not willing to pay enough for such a feature to make anyone capable of building it make it for you.

There just aren't enough people like you to support self-hosted $4/month product and you're not willing to spend $2000/month for self-hosted version.

So your options are not using the product at all or using hosted, incredibly cheap, version.
I haven't up/down voted you, but I think I understand why others did. Your comment appears either as relevant to or an off shot from the perceived topic, thus gets judged and receives its due votes.
Used to be 30 years was traditional. Funny how the number goes down with the passage of time.

In any case, the estimates come from the company CEO.
But not by the world, which is what I was referring to. Since the role attributed was "world policeman". My point is that the "world policeman" responsibilities are an easy justification for a military posture which is very aggressive. If the world needed a world policeman we'd create an institution and have governance projected from that... oh hang on that's the UN.
The sophons were basically deus ex machina particles for whatever the author needed them to do. They were omnipotent, undetectable, able to be everywhere at once, had unlimited energy, and apparently are no good at all for scouting out other uninhabited solar systems to colonize (so they don't have the Dark Forest problem with Earth during their journey).

If the Trisolarians had sent them out in various directions to scout out solar systems they could have avoided so many headaches.
I would argue that the replication crisis is a sign of improved rigor, but certain parts of psychology is more political than science and hence doesn't replicate well. The positive news is that psychology is in the process of establishing a clear methodology, which means it is becoming a science, and as a consequence we are seeing the replication crisis for everything that doesn't hold water relative to this methodology.

Huge wins are things such as BIG5 etc, and IAT being administered at scale before it was validated seems like a huge mistake.
This feels a bit off to me. Most of the people I've met who are really passionate about fighting discrimination against LGBT people have also been very interested in fighting fatphobia (discrimination against overweight people) and ableism (discrimination against the disabled). I think the difference may be that accommodations for disabled and obese people are often more difficult or expensive, although I don't have numbers or anything to prove that.

Accessibility for the disabled is also less of a "culture war"-type issue, so progress (or lack of progress) doesn't tend to be as visible.
Some key things they didn't mention doing:

-Retargeting/Remarketing - Some of your best ROI campaigns will come from these

-Discount Ladders - for customers to nudge over the edge great to use in combination with the retargeting campaigns.

-Abandoned cart email follow ups - No mention of these here. Again, these backend flows will really help profitability.

Ideally you'll break even on those leading awareness/acquisition campaigns using the things others here have said and the retargeting campaigns will be nothing but gravy.
I use NetGuard on 5T, which is using VPN API, and that seems to stay alive. That with battery optimization off for it and with its own watchdog option enabled. I think I had it dying without watchdog though.
It does not (directly) allow multiple simultaneous streams. It allows multiple simultaneous users. This means setting up a dummy google account for each device that you wish to have play simultaneously, which is a bit of a pain.

Ideally it would be more Netflix-style, which puts a limit on the number of devices but does not really care about "identity", though obviously sharing the password to your Google account is a non-starter for family sharing cases.
Hopefully with the influx of cash they can hire someone to implement a real native app that doesn't fail.
It's possibly something many of us should care more about, though.

Suppose your company handles a fair bit of confidential information, and some of that information ends up in Notion as part of your general project management workflow. Now you've got to worry about Notion experiencing a data breach, and whether or not that breach could get you in hot water with your clients, or even into legal trouble.

With on-prem options, you can gain a little extra confidence, because it can all live behind a firewall instead of being directly exposed to the Internet at large.
It's an outstandingly well-written introduction, but it only goes so far; a more formal treatment (an inevitably longer one, off topic in a discussion of I/O) would be needed to understand what, exactly, can be done with monads and how they differ from other types.
The problem is not the links you click, it's the links that load nasty stuff during page load.

This is why a rewrite proxy is better than a simple DNS blackholer. Unfortunately a side effect of https ubiquity is that rewrite proxies are much more complex to deploy, even on your own local machines.
This could/should be

"Joy of Being a (Human) In Their 70s"

Very little is relevant to gender, at all.
Ah, I didn't scroll that far down in the comments. AFAIK, yes, the family plan still only allows one stream per user. But in the situation outlined in the question you'd just use a different account on the Google Home than you do at work.
Oliver Morton on the promise and perils of geoengineering
The sensor outputs raw data unless a JPEG encoder is present, so it makes sense that they would save money by not including that particular feature.

RAW stills are considered a professional feature primarily because the average consumer's needs are better met with JPEG, not because RAW is an expensive feature to implement (unless you count the additional storage requirements).
Notion doesn't store password.

You can either log-in with Google account (which you most likely already have) or via 2fa mechanism where they send an expiring login link to your e-mail address.

There are no password and therefore nothing to hack.
It's great that this story can feature high up the rankings on HN. In spite of focusing on a group that (probably) has limited representation here, people can see the bigger picture and empathise with the points it makes.
> Open source software is by definition commoditized.

I thought commodity means something that can be produced by many different companies without substantial differences in cost, quality, functionality etc.

Open source software usually is siganificant in their complexity and utility. Also they have strong gluing effect to customers' own code.

To say they are commodity in the sense that they are free of charge, seems not the right way of thinking them as commodity.
This seems mostly accurate:

> Juul is skipping a bit ahead in the Silicon Valley startup timeline, which generally follows a three-step track: (1) Don’t be evil; (2) be evil sometimes, but only when it’s in service of a greater societal good; (3) actually, being evil is fine.
What's the best alternative? Personally, I can't think of a job that I would enjoy more than software development, even with the downsides that come with a lot of the big tech companies. And obviously the benefits are better than pretty much any other industry. If your biggest concern in your job is an open office, and dealing with things like stand-ups, you are in a pretty great position compared to pretty much everyone else in the world. Whenever I talk to my friends doing work in the trades, or truck driving or something I am incredibly glad that I chose to go into software.
This is also especially true, per Morris' corollary, of Common Lisp.
I expect posting a referral link on Hacker News to be frowned upon.
You'd be surprised. I believe it had the same USB implementation as a bunch of other very cheap cameras, a fairly arbitrary but simple vendor protocol over "full" speed (ie 12Mbps) USB.

My records say it claimed to be a "Che-ez! Snap / iClick Tiny VGA Digital Camera". Which, straight away there's one lie because VGA is 640x480 and this camera couldn't do that. Presumably somebody making a $5 camera used this chip with an actual lens, a sensor and maybe even flash (both kinds).
I'd worry about about how the books translate to film. A lot of what makes the books interesting is the sort of game-theory parts that are going to be confusing and boring on the big screen.
I just tell myself "this too shall pass" and carry on.

Not just dev projects, everything in life that I decide to do but in the thick of it start hating myself, I repeat those four words. It's usually when running or digging, physical stuff that starts to really suck halfway through.

I also think subjecting oneself to activities which really suck, physically difficult and painful things, and persevering through them, is generally helpful. It tempers oneself by conquering higher forms of suffering, no amount of poorly documented APIs can shine a light to a week of digging with a pickaxe and shovel.

Just getting to being able to run 4+ miles teaches some useful lessons IMO. There's an entire headspace to be explored in doing endurance activities that probably confers benefits everywhere in life, not even considering the exercise aspect.
It doesn't have to connect to the internet to do what it does. The scenario you seem to be suggesting is that the Project Alias developers would be conspiring with Google by compromising Project Alias to NOT disrupt Google's listening and then Google would be listening in on you using their network access. This by definition does not double the area of risk.

If you can be confident that Project Alias does not have network access, then the worst possible scenario, even if the developers are literally Satan, is that Google Home would be doing exactly what it does without Project Alias attached.
Yeah, now when I web search for "quantum satellite" I won't find all the cool research they're doing in China on space quantum entanglement
One of the accidental biases I think is introduced to people by their schooling is the idea that all problems have solutions. This is not a deliberate bias or anything, but an accidental one introduced by the fact that the entire process of being educated is basically being walked down a cultivated garden trail in which you are presented with a series of carefully-designed problems where the answers are intended to help your understanding of some topic. But in the real world, problems don't always have answers. If you can't get the data to answer a question, the correct answer is to not answer the question. If you can't gather enough data to separate the error bars, then you don't have an answer to the question. All you can say is that the effect, if it exists, isn't large, and you're not too sure about the effect. If what you have is not sufficient to make a call... stop.

Once you see this clearly, the idea that one can be literally unable to gather enough data, but somehow one is obligated to just create an answer even so is just... weird.

And one of the major criticisms of the current scientific system is that you can't publish a paper that says "We looked for X and didn't find it", so there's massive incentive to just force an answer out. And when you force an answer out, whereever the answer came from... it isn't the data. It's something else. Varies depending on the topic, of course, but it's certainly not the data.

(By contrast, in life we must frequently create answers to questions we don't have enough data to scientifically answer the question. That's the nature of the ride we're on. But it is improper to force answers in the scientific domain.)
Ask HN: What are the real advantages of SPAs?
I don't really understand the reason behind Single Page Applications. I'm currently working on a code base so bloated with crap that I feel overwhelmed and I can't help myself think stuff like: "it's such an overkill, we don't need all these dependencies". Is it because it's too expensive to send HTML from the server? What kind of problems SPAs are trying to solve? Does people actually bother about a full page reload? At this point I think we are just following the bandwagon and we forget what problems we are really trying to solve.
This seems like a very effective solution, thanks for the idea.
