> cars didn't have USB inputs in 2007 so I see how the Stone could be useful.

The car had been purchased by my grandmother and its only methods of playing sound were (1) the radio and (2) the cassette deck.

Prior to the Stone, I used a portable CD player with an audio-cable-to-cassette-tape adapter. The audio cable plugged into the Stone just fine.

I find this an interesting example. If my car had had the current-generation technology (a built-in CD player), I would have been stuck with CDs. But having past-generation technology meant that I could use the existing tape-to-CD-player compatibility shim to plug in the Stone.
Fair enough, but tourism is estimated to account for a tenth of global carbon emissions which is not insignificant: https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/tourism-climate-ch...

People have been espousing that we are doomed for decades, but many of them were actually right: we have not meaningfully deviated from the predictions made by the 1972 report The Limits of Growth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth) for example. Reality has continued tracking along with our climate models, which were used to predict doom decades ago. Some doomsday scenarios have a preponderance of evidence that they are happening, and I feel that understanding that is not pessimism but realism.

I'm a big Notion fan. Use it for everything in my life, both work and personal. Here's a screenshot of my Notion homepage:
https://twitter.com/benln/status/1034475232445181952

I also made this site for people to share their Notion pages: http://notionpages.com You can use that to get a better sense of use cases for Notion.
Perhaps this is a good idea in theory, but it’s lacking in implementation. Having used Storj in the past, I’ve found it to be the least reliable service I’ve ever used. The SLA excludes events beyond your control, which sadly includes the availability of your storage network. I wouldn’t say this solution is even close to being production ready.
If gangs are claiming turf and excluding other dealers, then those aren't dead drops, which by definition are undetected drops by anonymous parties. It's an open question whether effective dead drops are even possible, but if they are, and come to be widely adopted for trade in contraband, then a significant portion of the source of territorial conflicts between criminal organizations vanishes.
I’ve started using notion as a kind of personal wiki a few months ago, and I really like it for that. Breaking the distinction between files and folders is one of the ways it’s way easier for me to navigate/structure than it is in google docs.

My only issue with Notion is that I feel it’s hard to get stuff out of it, especially on mobile. I sometimes type draft documents with it that I really don’t want to share as notion links, and I haven’t figured out how to export them on a phone - I usually have to go to my computer and export the markdown/process it then share...
Great point. What happened with good old physical connections via USB cables?
Pihole is great! Great revelation was that over 50% of the requests generated by devices in my network are "malicious", ad or tracking related.

The greatest offenders were phone apps and roku TV. Also roku tv scans your HDMI data stream (if you connect your laptop to the Roku TV) which is purely evil!

Also worth to note that to have pi-hole to recognize and block over 50% of the requests, constant gravity updates are required (i have over 3.5M unique domains in block-list)

Also get VPN for your phone. All traffic on my iPhone goes though pi-hole (check OpenVPN and DNS Override iPhone apps in store)

The science is not uncertain. And these views are still mainstream, perhaps more so.
Along these lines, I always try to be purpose driven: I make software because I'm good at it and because it makes me money. I need that money to buy food and clothing for me and my wife and our kids and to pay for having a roof over our heads. If I were better at something else, or not good enough at software, I would use that skill to accomplish the same task for the same reason. Usually it is enjoyable and rewarding to solve problems using software. But it can often be stressful and difficult. That's part of any job though, they can all be stressful and difficult. Going to a different career path will not relieve you from stresses and difficulties, it will only change what they are. So instead, if you enjoy writing software and are good at it, just learn how to overcome these difficulties and stresses in a good and healthy way, and keep remembering that at the end of the day, you're probably doing it for a higher goal.

Same, I tinkered around a bit and so far really like the semi-free form nature of how this looks and feels, plus the dirt simple, out of your way/distraction free interface is something that could easily line up with how I scribble down notes in my pocket journal, but am averse to signing up to another account somewhere for my obsessive checklisting and note-taking.

I'd gladly pay for a desktop application of this where I kept all of my notes and todos with local persistence that I could backup, migrate and move (similar to something like Notational Velocity), I like this, but I guess so far OneNote remains my personal champ in this regard-even though I have to tie it to OneDrive across my pc and surface.

Edit:

Although feverishly refreshing the thread and looking at all the praise...maybe I'll give it a more thorough shot for a couple of weeks.

I generally assume if there's no numbers appended to the end of PlayStation it's referring to the PlayStation 1. Also, based on the context of what the parent poster was describing, I think it's fairly safe to assume they were in fact referring to the 'first generation' Playstation as you call it.
Are you really comparing the ISP market to the automotive market?! The global auto market is one of the lowest margin, most competitive markets that exists. You can go out and pick from one of 20 brands in pretty much any segment (cars, trucks, hatchbacks, hybrids etc). Toyota has nowhere near a monopoly on any market except maybe the city that the HQ is in.

Why is this downvoted? Peer pressure is by and large the best way to curb thoughts and actions that are harmful to individuals and society. The current echo chamber on the net filled with alternative/radical theories is the outcome of insufficient peer pressure. Nutbars always existed in real-life too, society was just better at keeping them from doing too much harm.

They did, which is the only place you can find the HoH2 paper, but they don't link to that paper from the writeup --- you have to dig into the Drive folder to get it. That's because the HoH2 paper isn't an overtly absurd paper, unlike the "Progressive Stack" paper, which they deceptively suggest got into Hypatia and which they do link to, despite it being rejected.

Their writeup is disingenuous, bordering on overtly dishonest.

That would require you to convince all other worker to do the same, which is I don't think is feasible.
Was going to comment the same. I've managed a wide variety of campaigns over the years and the best money for jam in terms of optimization is always the search term report. For non-G-Ads enthusiasts, it's the actual list of queries that a user searched for when your ad was clicked. The problem is usually rooted in too many keywords (top of funnel, as their awareness ladder says) or use of broad match keywords--exactly as you said gk1.

My favorite point: "Lesson #1: Test and trim keywords sets before hiring an agency to scale things" - the number one indicator of a successful campaign and client relationship for me is whether the internal team has legitimately tried to use the marketing channel before. I think you can successfully test channels with freelancers but I think a simpler process that likely has a higher rate of success is to test internally before you move it to an external resource.

The core benefit is knowledge acquisition for your team. You'll make better decisions with that knowledge and leverage the time of your freelancer or agency better than if you had to ask about every detail you didn't understand about their work.
Sure you can:

2. When the application terminates, write the reason for termination into the file.

Can you also comment on how the current decipherments are going? And how much progress has been made in the Dravido-Elamite angle?

In the meantime since this article was published in 2013, for IVC in terms of a Dravidian language, there's been a lot of progress in terms of script decipherment (to the point where the theory has become proof), archaeology, and DNA analysis that support each other consistently.

Some people can mean a few people. So what if a few people hate engineers and HN? They are extremely valuable and look how the world has been improved because of them.

Perhaps by some, you meant many? Then you should come out and say it. And even if many people hated engineers, that would still not mean engineers must change.

In the 1960s the USA had a math and science crisis in schools. Russia was far ahead in engineers, possibly because the culture didn’t really put down “nerds and geeks” as much as in the USA. Blaming the victim for using precise language is perhaps missing the point. The US with its huge population desperately played catch-up in STEM until the H1B visa saved the day!

And also, it's the 21st century and we don't need chat protocols to be client-side-liveness chatty to "stay on" when the entire cellular network is architected to find devices and route messages to them.

IRC isn't a well-designed protocol for this use case, and a "land-side" bouncer that bridges the chatty protocol to a lazier protocol ought to be more energy-efficient overall.

Wow. For comparison[0], China has 129 ships and Russia has 79. I guess the US Navy believes in overprovisioning.

Well life expectancy depending on variations is well past 80, especially once you make it into your late 60's and i don't imagine much of the working public wants to be heading into work Monday morning at that age, so yes - it is reasonable to assume life expectancy will outpace retirement for several decades.

Ask HN: Baby monitor for hard of hearing person
I am trying to design a baby monitor solution for my hard of hearing friend (HHF).

Design criteria:
- HHF needs vibrating alerts when the baby monitor is triggered
- Ideally, these should happen on his person so his spouse can sleep
- Spouse wants a video screen / the usual stuff

I've divided the problem into the baby monitor and the on-person vibrating device.

Baby monitors: the Arlo is supposed to work with IFTT but does not in practice. The Nabi Artistole worked with IFTT but it was cancelled after announcement.

Vibrating device: the Ditto wearable device looks perfect, has a long battery life, and works with IFTT but it's "Sold out" on their website. That makes me think they're a zombie company and the next iOs update might make their app obsolete. Other wearables, such as FitBit, don't seem to vibrate much or at all.

Any ideas? I can code something if needed.
Show HN: Socialkeeper – An email based personal relationship manager
Socialkeeper is an email based personal relationship manager.

It helps you cultivate your friendships which need a little bit of extra care and attention by sending you reminders directly to your inbox so you can start a conversation.

You get emails with links which open your favorite app ready to start a conversation. Open Whatsapp and other chat clients already on your friend's chat window. Email with the email address already filled in and a starter message. Or open the dialer and just hit "call".

I created this tool for myself when I realized I was neglecting some friends that moved away or changed jobs. It was pretty useful in helping me reconnect with them so I went ahead and created this project. Maybe it can help someone else!

That's an interesting idea. It seems like many of the most useful and longest-lived weapons platforms are general purpose and easily adaptable, like the B-52. If the Navy adopts something like it, it could really save a lot of money and enable more incremental innovation.

As far as survivability, I wonder if something like this could scale out fast in wartime by redistributing the containers among more ships? Maybe the containers could even be watertight, so they could be fished out of the sea and reused if the ship that was carrying them is sunk.

Re: experiments started to produce arbitrary nonsense [leading to scientist suicides]

That would normally stimulate scientists into trying to find the pattern of "arbitrary". If it's completely random, that's a discovery in itself. If it has a pattern, then the pattern becomes a subject of experiments and speculative models, even if "weird". It's roughly comparable to the observer seemingly affecting the results of quantum experiments.

Scientists rarely quit or get bored just because they have no clear-cut explanation. Most of them like puzzles, even tricky ones more.

Maybe the culture in China is different and perhaps filters out the genuinely curious for those who produce definitive results? I'm only asking, not claiming.

When I read "Go SDK" I wonder if there are better SDKs in other languages from this provider. I often find that although they advertise having 10 different SDKs in reality only one or two actually work while others are just a badly maintained afterthought. Happens a lot to us .NET users. I find it better to write the code parts that deal with the SDK in one of the premier languages and then integrate this into my code.
