I see a lot of potential for Notion and really enjoy the service, but currently it still feels a little rough. Some thoughts:

- while the browser-based webapp is mostly fine, the mobile apps feel really subpar and somewhat out of place on iPad and iPhone alike: Sluggish, slow animations, inconsistent keyboard behavior, unnecessarily large fullscreen modals on iPad - it's very noticeable that it isn't a native app. It feels like a second class citizen. I'd like to make Notion a central part of my daily, essential tools - similarly to an app like Things. Unfortunately the difference in user experience is night and day. Please consider developing native apps.

- this is a very minor issue, but since I often use Notion as a note taking tool the rigid separation of paragraphs into multiple isolated content blocks is rather annoying. It leads to side effects like "Select all" on iOS actually not select all, but just the current block/paragraph. I think text, regardless of the number of paragraphs or format, should be one single block until it's actually interrupted by inline data structures like tables or galleries.

Other than that I love the idea of your service, which can turn a blank canvas into a simple text document or a fully featured Airtable-like application, or anything inbetween.
Untold cases from the professional project managers
You write: "Absolutely none of your replies have addressed the question of if traits like intelligence are correlated to clusters that roughly correspond to the traditional conception."

Since the last paragraph of my previous comment addressed that question, I will assume that you didn't read what I wrote.

As I pointed out, researchers have long established that there is no meaningful correlation of "intelligence" with the "clusters that roughly correspond to the groupings people had naively assumed". That is, they started with exactly the assumption you thought they should, then found that it was not supported by the evidence.

Hence, why I wrote that the reason why there is "incredibly strong resistance to studying the topic" is because scientific research has long since shown that it isn't valid.

bear in mind that whilst the scope of those ammendments may have been, for want of a better term, “extended” (SC sets precedent for interpretation, as far as i’m aware, i.e. the amendments do not actually change), you must also bear in mind that the scope and power of the government has expanded incredibly since they were written.

the concept of privacy, outside of say, what a married couple do in the bedroom, didn’t really exist when the constitution was created.

devices that are essentially extensions to ones “self” in the digital world couldn’t even have been imagined, let alone the rights required to make that one as as free as the america that was being created.
Actually, having two parsers doesn't seem like a bad thing; it means that you can test one trivial property on arbitrary, randomized input: That they produce the same output!
> It's (a little bit) scummy, because they're selling them on auction, which has a decent chance of flogging them for orders of magnitude more than they'd ordinarily sell them for,

It seems to me that demand is far higher than supply, thus the auction ensures that those who really want them will have a realistic shot of getting one. That's far better than having to resort to buying them from price-gouging scalpers.
you could stall and add a "go premium" button and track how many people click it instead of jumping straight to monetization
It's not obvious from the post that it was written 4 years ago. There was extensive discussion about it on HN at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9335441 .

Have things changed since then?
This won't happen as long as we have an economic system based on capitalism: companies will always seek to increase their revenue. Increasing replacement rate leads to higher revenue. Hence yearly new car models, tv models, clothing trends, etc.

Also, are you willing to accept increased unemployment when less employees are required due to diminished demand?

I presented a more optimistic view of what it could accomplish (produce 700 units a year), where your link indicates it will house 4,000 people in perpetuity. After 6 years, my “grossly misinformed” interpretation would have been a lot more bang for buck.

There are so many more than 4,000 people who struggle with housing that the framing of Prop C as some kind of victory is just bizarre. It’s like winning an increase of $5 per retiree in the pension system.
Apple low key does some cool server projects with a Java bent. They've contributed to Netty (well, they hired core developers).[1]

They've been basically put them to work reimplementing it in Swift.[2] It's open and out there but not a lot of people paying attention. While it's still early days I think there may a year where, suddenly, Swift on the server is a super serious thing and all this work they've been doing on little old CloudKit kind of takes over the world.

Just a fun prediction.. but it wouldn't be the first time Apple pulled something like that.

I do like that Swift's non-tracing garbage collection model is well suited for server apps. Rust is cool too but maybe Swift would be a little friendlier and thus better suited to inherit Java's mantle. I mean can you just imagine if Apple is slowly building up Swift to overtake Java on the server? That that's one of their long game master plans? I know that sounds completely crazy.. It just might work. They do run one of the biggest data center networks in the world so they have a pretty good testbed and can justify a hefty R&D budget.

Yup. I've worked at a company of 2!

The last software team I was on was about 3 or 4 (depending on how you count), in a company of about 10. Nobody in management or sales ever really learned the "doesn't like being interrupted" lesson.

In my experience, as soon as a company is big enough to hire non-programmers with physical access to programmers (usually around 4-6), this problem rears its head.

I use `git --separate-git-dir=~/.dotfiles --work-tree=~/` and have a .gitignore set to whitelist only things I want to track. This keeps git from colliding with things I have checked out below. I also have configuration.nix import an expression I checked into my $HOME, so I can share common config between all my machines.

For shells, I have a custom `env-python [-p <packageNames>] [-f <extraPaths>]` which brings a fully-configured VS Code (with per-environment config), debuggers and neovim with all the trimmings. Everything inherits in layers so I can add different kinds of environments quite easily.

If you'd like, I can share my dotfiles with you. It's pretty custom but the beauty of Nix is you can clone and run!

It is a super interesting jurisprudential question, because legal systems are typically objective in part, but also rely on some idea of what a "reasonable person" would consider factual or reasonable. It stands to reason then, that under a native epistemology, it is reasonable for oral tradition aka hearsay to be given legal weight - when under the modern tradition we wouldn't. It is probably worth wondering if we'd consider aboriginals to have no knowledge if we took a hardline view that all hearsay was not knowledge. I think that's a pretty counterintuitive conclusion, so I think there must be some credit given to knowledge in a system with no written record. And, the next question that comes to my mind anyhow is what would it be like if nothing was considered knowledge unless it was written down? This isn't even currently the case in our modern tradition, given that witnesses and memories are still considered to have at least some weight.
That video is hilarious.

Your premise simply isn’t true. Privacy as a concept did exist, including in the law, for example in connection with correspondence and diaries. If you read those materials from that time, you’ll see that they were in many cases far more intimate than what you might find in an iPhone today. (People used to record their private thoughts in their papers. Today, people usually don’t leave a record of things that they were thinking but never communicated to someone else.) People also had private financial and legal records, as they do today.

And the 4th amendment did protect those things. But those protections also had limits. The police couldn’t get your diary from your desk without a warrant. But they were entitled to it with a proper warrant. The fact that you recorded your deepest thoughts and intimate affairs on a phone rather than a dairy or private correspondence shouldn’t change that.
Torture yourself. Uncertainty is discomforting. If thinking and deciding is easy for you - you are not doing it. Intellectual honesty is masochistic.

As a Root Android user, any time I have reason to believe that a situation with the police is going to end even slightly bad on my end, I power off my phone. And as a Root user I have several layers of security on all my devices. I also take a mental note of what my battery percentage is at, that way I know if my phone has been turned on at all.

As for a little back story on myself; I am wrongly labeled as a drug felon. My wife (separated for over a year) decided to try meth shortly after our wedding and got hooked in a bad way. I have a history with said drug and didn't want her to try but she insisted saying that it would help her understand why I am the way I am. I didn't know about her use of the drug and was in jail for 2 weeks because she had them in the car and I got pulled over and searched. After my release the cops in the area basically harassed me by pulling me over every other day at minimum. I was in and out of jail several times within 2 months. I had come into possession of the phone she had when I was in jail because she got a new one and I always saved the old phones to test my rooting and hacking skills with. Even though the phone was wiped, by her deleting all of her account info and messages, I was able to do a text recovery on the phone. I found in a few chats that she had with some of her friends and family while I was in jail for the 2 weeks, her telling them that I was in jail for her drugs. Of course everyone thinks that it's weed first, but we were in Colorado, so she clarified that it was for meth.

Now because of specific laws I can't even use those messages to clear my name and she won't take the stand to the law and accept her punishment for the use of the drugs.

> While advertisers have been the dominant buyers in the early history of this new kind of marketplace, there is no substantive reason why such markets should be limited to this group. The already visible trend is that any actor with an interest in monetizing probabilistic information about our behavior and/or influencing future behavior can pay to play in a marketplace where the behavioral fortunes of individuals, groups, bodies, and things are told and sold. This is how in our own lifetimes we observe capitalism shifting under our gaze: once profits from products and services, then profits from speculation, and now profits from surveillance.

> The bare facts of surveillance capitalism necessarily arouse my indignation because they demean human dignity. The future of this narrative will depend upon the indignant scholars and journalists drawn to this frontier project, indignant elected officials and policy makers who understand that their authority originates in the foundational values of democratic communities, and indignant citizens who act in the knowledge that effectiveness without autonomy is not effective, dependency-induced compliance is no social contract, and freedom from uncertainty is no freedom.

> my concern is more with the government having my data than companies

If the data exists then companies and governments alike will exploit it regardless of who collected it. Your internet usage, your phone records, even your DNA profile if you used a DNA profiling service can all be accessed at will without your knowledge or consent:

https://www.purevpn.com/blog/data-retention-laws-by-countrie...

In an age when your own data can be weaponized against your best interests I think the only sensible strategy is to minimize your data footprint as much as possible. Do not join "loyalty" programs, do not sign up to surveillance platforms like Facebook, do not submit your DNA to DNA databases, pay in cash whenever possible, etc.

You will inevitably be undermined by other people forking over your data to surveillance platforms but you can only do the best you can and hope to persuade as many people as possible to do similarly.

Voting with your wallet is only one way of expressing a preference. San Francisco in particular also likes to vote with its votes. We may not care enough about restaurants to pay what they really cost, but by all accounts we’ll care enough to vote for a ballot measure that makes “big developers” and “the techies” pay for them.
> Why can't these use simpler [...] configuration schemes?

Because you inevitably need something less simple at some point. It's a hard balance to strike. Want only a config format? Get angry advanced users. Want only a programming language? Get angry beginners. Want both? Get a hodge-podge of half-and-half configs calling out to built extensions and in general a bunch of beginners finding poor code-based solutions on the internet.

In general, you need a simple programming language to manage this stuff or it becomes unwieldy once it leaves hobbyist size. And mixing config formats and full-blown languages (or worse, template languages) just adds ambiguity on the best way to do something coupled with loose synchronization between the two formats, "extension hell", and half-developed code solutions with an exponential number of poorly tested combinations of exported features that beginners try to use. To see examples of all these problems, one simply has to look at the historical landscape of orchestration engines and build tools.

His experiment in one of the early chapters where they come up with these little stories that are for some reason morally repugnant but on closer inspection don't appear to be hurting anyone and then they press people for their reasons on why they think it's wrong and they wind up inventing justifications that are sometimes pretty far fetched. That was pretty interesting.

There's another great bit of research detailed like that detailed in The Elephant In The Brain.

In the 60s and 70s Roger Sperry and Michael Gazzaniga did some research for which Sperry eventually won a Nobel Prize in 1981 where they showed images to patients who had undergone a corpus callostomy where the two halves of the brain can no longer communicate and asked them questions about what they saw. The results were really striking. They did it in such a way that they show the image to only the right side of the brain but then ask the left side of the brain to describe what they saw verbally. They just invent some kind of fantastical rationalization and they seem to fully believe that's what they think despite the fact that it can't be. I'm explaining it kind of badly but that part was jaw dropping. Seems to fit with Haidts research though.
I don't necessarily agree with this. As a french native who has grown up to english music, I realised years later as my english improve that I 'remembered' the english songs lyrics from previous years by basically 'mapping' the english to french equivalent phonemes, NOT by words. In fact the stuff I 'remembered' made no sense at all, or were quite funny, a posteriori.
Sure, but to claim that a group looking to push an agenda, a group that wields, in the right-wing imagination, inordinate power, can't even increase recruitment into their ranks, seems counter-intuitive.
Landlords don't know what their tenants earn. They know when there is a lot of demand for available living space. Higher demand means they can ask for more rent, with a greater chance someone will agree to what they ask for.

I have come around to the belief that economically efficient behavior can be more ethical. When I have something I want to get rid of, I have tried giving it away, but I learned by experience that people who are first to grab something aren't necessarily those who will make the best use of it or who need it the most. So it may be better for society to sell or auction it even if that has significant overhead. Raising more money isn't even the point; it's a side effect.

>Why not? In fact you should put them in vc since anyone with nix can easily build the program exactly same as on your machine.

For starters, because I work on a lot of projects that aren't mine. But also, because it's not really standardized.

Like there's a fairly standard practice for putting a package.json in a repository but not really so for default.nix. And it's also not exactly orthogonal to Nixpkgs; if you wanted your project to be in Nixpkgs, your expression would be (slightly) different. That is probably solved by importing the Nixpkg into default.nix, but I haven't tried yet.

Finally, this doesn't capture everything. If I want an environment where I have VSCode with the Go extension installed, I would prefer that to be isolated from other VSCode instances.

That's why I think I want more than just a Nix expression. The tools to do what I want are all here, but the tool to automate the workflow is not.
