What you describe is the USA way, but it's not how it's done in many (most?) places around the world. There are plenty of things you could say in the USA that would be illegal hate speech in most of Europe. Conversely showing a female nipple is taboo in the Land of the Free, while it's mostly not a big deal in western Europe. This is actually the source of many problems with the governance of the web since most high-profile websites tend to conform to American codes (which means that you can't post "the origin of the world" by Gustave Courbet on Facebook, but you can post racist comments all day long).

Obviously the risk is not that reasonably educated HN readers could stumble upon this manifesto and start a massacre, the risk is that the material could be used as propaganda to brainwash more easily-influenced people. People become radicalized on the web, actually the shooter himself kept spouting "memes" straight from /pol/ and other alt-right websites. Similarly many Islamist terrorists who carried attacks in recent years also radicalized online, feeding on propaganda websites and fake news.

Does banning 4chan or the manifesto achieve anything? I'm not sure. But dismissing any attempt to curb this very real problem as "crazy talk" is not really constructive criticism.

I'm curious why this is OKR specific. Shouldn't you be tracking those metrics anyways?
No, you could never resolder anything like that. What this did was warm motherboard to the point it was able to bend and release accumulated (from thermal cycling) stress _temporarily_ fixing broken solder joints.
I didn't mean winning though. I meant closure, as in you can crash and burn and still have fun. If you went through 20 hours of failing in Fallout 4, it wouldn't nearly be as fun.

I haven't seen too many people mentioning the onslaught of Microsoft One Note in developing a great note-taking tool, that syncs well in the cloud, and integrates with several of their other tools like Word and Outlook.

Personallly, as a early Evernote User, once One Note came out for Mac, I switched. And then getting a job somewhere where we used Windows PCs, just solidified it for me, and I never found the need to go back.
Whoops, apologies, misread that one sentence.

Agreed - if one takes the performance on an absolute scale, it is usually sufficient (also the reason why people use Python or PHP, despite both being, relatively, quite slow).

It is only once people start comparing it to the next best thing and/or when they desire better performance that they realise, that there is a lot of not so low hanging fruit.

Isn't this what the "dark web" is for? True, some sites have been taken down but as I understand that was more due to poor opsec than a flaw with the technology itself.

I wonder if some people might fear that death certificates would be the thin end of another wedge towards banning abortion. It would also turn something that some people might like to keep deeply personal into a state-registered event; how long until they become compulsory? There are places in the world where miscarriages are seen as suspicous. Potential crimes, worthy of investigation. I think we all know there are groups who'd like to see that in the US.
That's ridiculous. I imagine you're right. They would have likely sold it off at one of their bulk auctions.
Using email efficiently requires training and discipline, being able to:

-- at a quick glance, quickly "triage" big lists of unread messages, not be put off by several hundreds messages and grab the phone

-- reply shortly and to the point (being native to the culture and language helps but is not a given anymore)

-- master art of attracting attention of very busy people of various kinds, to get them open at least the email and read some

-- not to turn email into slack in disguise, check if the question already has answer available somewhere else, and not become nervous if the other side doesn't reply in a second

-- master email client sufficiently to configure pre-sorting messages, and trust it's action

I'd say environment where email works as a reliable channel for top-importance communication (such as goals and prios), probably already doesn't need OKRs.
Ask HN: Would you be interested in reading a hard science fiction magazine?
Having had experience in the field before, it has been a dream project of mine for many years to manage and publish an online science fiction magazine. With some sites out there turning to a subscriber-only model, I find myself with the time and incentive to finally tackle the idea.

To give a brief description of what I have in mind:

The magazine would deal exclusively with hard science fiction - that is to say, science fiction that is plausible within our universe - and would publish bi-monthly. Pay rates to authors would try to be as competitive as possible, ideally reaching a professional rate of 6cents/word within a couple issues, and all stories would be completely free to read on the website. No ads nor hidden payments. A patreon or similar platform would be available for those who want to support the project, but this would be completely optional.

As you can see I'm passionate about this and quite excited, so I wish to ask the community:

- Would you read such a magazine, or are you subscribed to others already / have no interest?

If you are also passionate about science fiction, please know I'm very much considering bringing a partner on board - please shoot me a message to my email (shown in my about page).

Any questions and feedback are welcome!
I have over a thousand notes in Evernote.

One day I noticed that one was missing shortly after I created it. Eventually I discovered that the convenient new-note shortcut was failing every time with a database corruption error - but the error only appeared in a system log I was unaware of. There was no indication to the user that the notes were failing. To this day I have no idea how many notes I lost due to this bug. It was a traumatic experience.

It also sometimes simply doesn't sync for days on end, until I notice and trigger it manually. This leads to conflicts I must resolve manually.

What do other people use that has similar:

- Low-friction global shortcuts for creating and searching.

- Organization (tags and notebooks, or something similar).

- A UI that handles large note bodies well.

- Is at least on Windows, macOS, and Android.

I'd love an alternative, but I've yet to find one. And I don't even use most of its features.

> I also never understood why they charge based on upload volume vs total storage, say 1000 notes or pictures, like every other storage provider

Because the purpose was to encourage you to trust them to store information "forever" - having a storage limit is antithetical to that because at some point you will be encouraged to clear out old things to make space. With an upload limit, once it's in you don't need to worry about it ever again, in theory.

I remember a torrent site for old games.
You had tremendous community efforts documenting and cataloging games. Gathering every thing from the different releases, patches, music, art, etc.

It was a gaming historian's wet dream. They were even beginning to record the releases from different warez scene groups.

But everything went away because, form what I gathered, someone in EA noticed you could download FIFA 96 for the Mega Drive/Genesis.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the site. RIP

This has long been a pet peeve of mine.

I don't disagree with it but the colors shown in the article aren't violet, they are all shades of purple. Spectral violet is outside the gamut of most RGB color spaces, including sRGB, Adobe RGB, Pantone, CIELAB, etc. Monitors also wouldn't be able to reproduce it anyway.

The CIE 1931 curve showing a bump in red inside the blue is misleading I think. It does not represent how the cones react (the article says so in small print). The L cones aren't excited at all when pure blue or indigo or violet light hits them. The graph was built to find the best RGB primaries to use in order to best "emulate" how we interpret colors, so I think it actually already encodes our bias and general lack of skill at distinguishing violet from purple.

Similarly many people don't really make a distinction for cyan and just call it blue or green when they see it.

I think when I looked at it a while back my concern was how it would cope with one or more of my devices being off-network for days at a time (a regular occurrence).

The other devices wouldn't be, and changes would only be done wherever I happened to be, but the cost of evaluating this solution was unfortunately higher than not making any changes. As I say, it's on my list. The suite seems to be quite robust - but given Evernote's primary stated purpose was to ensure none of your data was ever lost (and yet many people have sad stories of data loss) I'm extra-cautious about changing my workflow.
Just because something is not illegal does not mean that society need to be tolerant of it. E.g. I she'd no tears for the neonazis who lost their jobs after being outed in Charlottesville [1] (though I don't support through name and shame that brought it about). However, I don't think it's correct for the government to censor their writings.

Another instance, I think fox and Breitbart are scourges for their disinformation campaign (not that they're "conservative" or have an "agenda", the wsj is also conservative and has an agenda), but making them illegal is a line too far. It provides too much power to a government who already has too much.

Good question. Younger people in general seem to be less fearful, presumably for reasons human nature (as your mobility, visual and mental acuity etc decrease the world simply becomes more dangerous, though most threats are things like bathtubs).

Also though the kids at the moment seem to understand better the risk/reward benefits of some technologies and have a better idea what actual risks they take. You see this in voting patterns.
Evernote is a pig. It's the single biggest issue. It's slow to launch, slow to respond, doesn't follow Windows or Mac OS UI/UX standards, and is just clunky.

Note apps need to capture thoughts and objects seamlessly, quickly and with very little friction. Evernote doesn't do that. Launching Evernote feels like launching Excel or Photoshop, when it should feel like clicking on your Wifi menu.

I think the question they’re asking is already observable. Who is privileged to have finances that can pursue a healthy lifestyle compared to the person having to order off the dollar menu. Who can afford supplements, exercising and leisure time without stress. No matter it’s unfair and people have no trouble not caring when they’re the privileged. Nobody’s going to take the fallacious high road with any drug that increases lifespan or lifestyle and give it to the less privileged or unfortunate compared to themselves.
Notion has been getting a lot of hype recently as Evernote, Trello, Todoist, etc., killer. Switched to it recently. It has a bigger learning curve compared to the other apps, fetlt unconfortable at first a bit but now I'm glad to have everything in one place with less confusion.
You're giving a lot of credit to a meme-spouting serial killer. It's not like as if it was step 34 of his master plan, he merely got a gun and started shooting at innocent people. I'll take my chances and keep ignoring him and not giving him a platform.

In my opinion his main objective was to get attention and put his nauseous ideology in the spotlight. I don't know if banning it is the right solution but frankly I won't waste my time playing devil's advocate for a mass murderer.

No need to back your statements, these are (hopefully) generally known historical facts. I still don't understand why US decided to support horrible unstable dictatorship in Pakistan instead of biggest democracy in the world in the past.

Unless I am mistaken India was always a victim in aggression of its neighbors - 1999 Kashmir conflict when Pakistan invaded sovereign Indian territory, China doing the same and annexing a lot of mountains and acting till today like it was eternally their territory).

If India put their sh*t (economy) together, toughened/equipped up their military I think this behavior would stop.
Reading these comments reaffirms my position that I've had for years: I only trust plain text. For this reason alone org-mode is the only note taking system worth using. But it's also good for other reasons. You should try it.

We already are dramatically curbing our population growth. The rate of global population growth has plunged since ~1970. The rate will drop from a peak of about 2% per year in 1970 to 0.2% by ~2060. We've already roughly cut the growth rate in half in 40 some years. By the late 2030s, we should have the rate of growth returned to pre industrialization boom numbers (when the rate began to rapidly increase). It takes time to bring the numbers down, we'll be near population contraction by the time we're into the 2050s.

For sure. I had an Evernote subscription, but I used OneNote at work - and it's just better. Letting you place snippets and notes on the vertical AND horizontal plane makes sense for quick note taking. Anyway, I switched last year and the fact that OneNote had a convenient note importer for Evernote was icing on the cake.

Evernote never seemed to evolve either. It was the same product 5 years ago, as it was last year and the company employed hundreds of developers - doing what?

The MSX computers even had CP/M. At least Spectravideo was distributed both with CP/M and MSX-DOS. The MSX-DOS was weird, I think it must have been the only 8-bit version of DOS Microsoft made?

You may well be right... it's been a longer time than I care to admit.

> I can still write 65C02 assembly language using an Apple // emulator but I wouldn’t know where to start with x86.

My job out of school was at least partially to write software for an embedded 4MHz 80188... not too different from an original PC. Even in such a limited environment, virtually everything was written in C. This includes things like interrupt handlers directly invoked by the CPU and task switching code in our primitive RTOS. I think the only assembler was a bit of startup code.

> It makes me sad thinking about how much more I knew about the underpinnings of my computer architecture...

I see your point, but my view is that the goal of many of the abstractions we have is to make it possible to shift our focus to higher level and presumably more important concerns. It doesn't always work out that way, of course - sometimes the abstractions get in the way - but I do miss the power of today's languages when I go back to lower level tooling.

One side note to this is that the embedded project above started out running in real mode X86, but by the time I'd left, we had ports for 32-bit protected mode, MC68K, and a version hosted Win32. There were sound technical and commercial reasons for all of this, but it all would have been a lot more costly to achieve in time and money if we'd been coding in assembler. In other words, we arguably gained by not knowing more about the underpinnings of our computer.
I would dispute your fission claim but I guess I'll refrain from kicking off yet another nuclear discussion in a renewables thread.

Do you have any evidence that one day there will no longer be hopelessly desperate people? The evidence so far indicates otherwise. Where is your posited utopian future coming from?

Wages are rising for all levels of employees.

It's my understanding that the evidence indicates this isn't true (for example, https://globalriskinsights.com/2018/01/us-economy-workers-di... , and many other such). What are you basing this assertion on?

Work towards a position that requires you to be differentiated from others and see your ability to charge more go up.

This is the standard trite, middle-class advice towards people who are hopelessly desperate and trapped in poverty. The hopelessly desperate cannot do this on their own. They don't have the time, the health, the regular hours, the safety blanket of cash, the lack of children, the support network, even the simple knowledge of how to gain skills, on and on - all the things people need to take your advice. They don't have that. That's what being hopelessly desperate is.
