Search in Evernote can also use metadata. So if you jotted down something you wanted to remember while you were on vacation and now you can't recall what that was, you can search for all the notes you created in Ibiza.
There might also be a mob-reaction against beeing gambled too much, resulting in conspiracy theorys and goverments built to execute those framed in those in conspiracies.

As a French citizen, this is nothing new in principle: we already had law that forbid negationist material and so on. That makes nothing for social peace of course, it only brings more weight to the "see how they try to hide you the truth" bullshit.

But this seems to clearly intensify. We now have laws passed "to regulate things against Fake News during election period"[1], in a climate of already large distrust of population against politics.

It's really unclear how this plain censorship is not replaced with a mandatory warning, which would give the opportunity to let people judge by themselves (or at least decide to trust the authority that the material doesn't worth their attention).

Opinion – Republican Health Care Lying Syndrome
>They continually make the same mistakes, over and over. No, human drivers do not learn at all from each other's mistakes in any significant fashion.

Why do you assume that drivers have to learn from each other's mistakes? A drunk driver learning from his own mistakes is already significantly ahead of what a self driving car does which potentially just repeats the same mistake over and over again. The correlated risk may even cause accidents in bursts. 10 self driving cars all doing the same mistake at the same time will cause even more damage than just a single one.
These shutdowns might hurt Google's brand among the tech-savvy community that uses edge products like Google+ or Chromecast Audio (never even heard of that before today).

But everyone I know still uses Google search and Chrome. Most use Gmail. Schools still give students Chromebooks and teach them Google Docs.

I think Google will be fine.
It was ... it just wasn't really exposed except as "arcane configuration that 99.9% of users would never even know was there". This is why we, as an industry need to be proactive in putting the user first in decisions like this, because if we don't, it will get abused, and then that's when the regulation comes (and rightly so).

There is no such right. It was not a private death among family in a hospital. It was a public act of evil. You've no more right to censor it on behalf of some of the victims than you have to censor a car or plane crash, a chemical plant explosion, or a tsunami.

What happened was a crime not only against the direct victims, but against all of New Zealand and all of humanity. It affects all people, as it damages the social fabric everywhere. It's vitally important that all people can avail themselves of the knowledge of what happened so that all people can help to stop it from happening again.

By your logic, photos of Auschwitz and the Killing Fields and Tiananmen Square ought to be destroyed. No, we must face evil head-on, recognize it for what it is and how it works, so we may be prepared to stop it.

What you propose only aids the perpetrators by obscuring their evil deeds and minimizing the murders they committed. Shame on you.
Monitors produce a mixture of blue and red. This is the definition of purple. Our monitors are not capable of producing violet. There is no "kind of" violet to discuss.

The article deceptively passes off purple for violet, and shows magenta for contrast. It is wrong.
The metric that matters is resources consumed per person. If people's goals are to achieve consumption levels similar to upper middle class in USA or Europe, then it doesn't matter if the total population growth is slowing down, or even contracting, as resource consumption will still very much be exploding.

Closing inbox has really made me re-evaluate if I want to continue using Google for email, as the clusterf--- of garbage that Gmail has turned into for people with long-standing accounts is untenable. The kitchen-sink approach of gmail has created a website/app that wants to meet every need and honestly meets none.

In the next 24 hours or so I'll be forced from a clean and clear perfectly rolled up and ideal notifying Inbox back to the utterly uncontrollable insanity of Gmail. The "rollups" in Gmail don't work, the filtering is arcane and unchanged from the 2001-era, the "labels" are useless at intelligently combating spam/marketing, and my gmail inbox receives hundreds of emails a day, 0 of which I care about, and hundreds of which google desperately wants to mark important, put in my inbox, notify me about, and provide precisely 0 tools to intelligently control it.

My gmail is a nightmare of anxiety that no man could ever wrestle control over (while my Inbox is a delightful walk through an orderly park) and I am honestly just considering abandoning this gmail account.

Of course, this gmail account IS my google account, it IS my google existence.

If Google has broken email, their core app, my core account --- maybe it's time to leave.

I can't be the only one approaching Google this way. Sooner or later, they'll kill what you love about them, too.
Apple Arcade feels like a doomed idea. The game devs have to make money somehow. I doubt apple is just funding development, so it’s likely to be pay for time spent on the game similar to Spotify payments for content creators (but not number of plays). That means games will be encouraged to optimize for time spent in the game, which is exactly the opposite of what you would want in a premium subscription ecosystem. The risk of the same sort of shitty puzzle game dominating the apple arcade revenues seems high to me. It’s an incredibly simple optimization. Just do what f2p games currently do but offer an in game way to always progress regardless of stamina.
Still sad about Google reader closing I've been hesitant to put my faith in any new Google product since.
I also remember Sweden being like this until early/mid 90s. The only real change AFAIK was peoples' attitudes, as a result of government campaigns.

Hell, in the 60s you could watch wonderfully informational movies as this on the one and only available TV station https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrcrX9Qaw2o. (skip to 1:15 for the recommended practise of waste removal near the ocean).
Here's some examples for your world view.

A man with a knife intent on doing harm, is stopped by one with a gun.

A man who develops a virus for a plague to kill people, is stopped by one who develops the cure.

A man who develops icbms to devastate a nation, is stopped by one intent to develop a missile defence shield.

There are many examples that I could continue with. The key takeaway here is that whatever some one does, in time there is an equal opposite reaction to counter it.

That's my world view. I personally don't fear anything. But then that's could be just how I'm built.
Aside from it being somewhat nonsensical, the industry has been saying KPI for decades as have other industries.
I don’t disagree about Google. I really just use their paid services (GSuite, Music/no ad YouTube, purchase books and movies). I mostly switched to DuckDuckGo years ago, and I run all Google properties through a single Firefox container.
That may be true, but plenty of countries where the majority have secured a middle class existence still don’t care about the trash everywhere.

Hell, in the US 50 years ago it wasn’t that uncommon to find trash everywhere.

It may be related to wealth, but it has to be something else as well.

Nope, IM is my only use case too.

It's actually really irritating the number of random websites that immediately popup an obtrusive notification prompt - I can only guess that they are hoping people accidentally click on the wrong button, and don't know how to disable it...
I am still upset about that.
That single service being shut down is what started me to distance myself from all google services except search when possible (including making the decision to actually pay for services when necessary)
> for example, when logging, you can have a source line prepended to the beginning of the line, which certainly uses the pclntab.

Naive question: Wouldn't that be trivial to hard code at compilation time within the logging code? Why would it need to go look that up from the pclntab?
I agree 100% about the price. I subscribe at the $36/year level (I don't think they advertise it) mostly because I want to support the company. I probably only open the app once or twice a month which means every time I do, it costs me $1. By that standard, it's the most expensive app I use.
The name notification permission is misleading. Because what it actually does is run any code from websites you aren't even visiting currently.
> more like a university than a business

which is wrong for google to behave this way, as the focus of university is to produce _new_ research, and a business's focus is to produce sustainable service for profit. Google should have a graduation mechanism for a product they launch, where they publicly announce that a product is out of beta, and can be depended on to exist.

And if the product isn't ready to be supported, they should continue to have the 'beta' moniker attached to the product name.
> gives them a chance to cry "Foul!". Do not give them that chance.

They can cry whatever they want. I want them to disappear in great pain!
As far as I am aware, Google hasn't shut anything down that you actually pay for. So fear mongering about GCP is just begin irrational.
I'm working on an Evernote clone for markdown. I find that almost all my notes are text. I hate the buggy EN editor, it's where I constantly think the app could do better and wonder what the heck all those engineers are doing...
Here's the gist of my idea: Similar UI like EN, but designed along UX experience of VSCode. It's an Electron app using Monaco as the editor. Also uses a similar concept like VSCode's workspaces. Each workspace is indexed for quick search and has a powerful tagging system (just like EN has). The idea is to support different file types for notes over time, but it will be first and foremost designed for markdown. For me, it is essential that I can use Dropbox, GitHub, or a different provider to sync my notes and that I don't have to trust my note taking tool to do that.
Anybody interested?
(I know there are different tools like this already, but nothing that a) tracks EN's UX closely, and b) is comparable in usability and hackability to something like VSCode.)

Edit: notes are simply text files. ".md" or whatever you want.

I'm not so sure.

In the eyes of users of those products, perhaps, but if those products are not succeeding, ie not becoming widely popular/turning a profit, I guess google are calculating limited collateral damage from shutting them down.

I think the brand is tarnishing for more abstract reasons; privacy/surveillance, complicity in chinese censorship, being a (the?) prime example of tech-leveraged inequality (stories about founders' private jet parties probably don't help), and so on.
Untrained individuals really don't need to train very hard or frequently at all. Their bodies will respond to pretty much any kind of stimulus because it's so new.

Also, training a muscle once a week is bad advice. Protein synthesis for trained individuals drops to normal after 48 hours, and for untrained individuals/novices after 72 hours. Your muscles aren't growing after that.

The only reason to wait longer than that is if your workout incurred a lot of muscle damage. Muscle damage should be avoided at all cost. People used to believe that it was a trigger for muscle growth, but many studies later we know that that isn't the case.

Load a muscle twice a week if a novice or intermediate, up to three times a week if advanced. Use lower volume per workout to ensure you don't incur too much muscle damage.

OK, replying to myself for future reference. I found the answer here: https://youtu.be/0GeJdTTzaDo (incidentally, that series of videos seems to have solutions for most of these problems).

The answer is that the left and right side of the notch holds local equivalents to the global "given X, prove Y" connectors. You can use the left side of the notch as an input, and you can connect that up through the global blocks to prove the hypothesis.

That was non-obvious! Also, the technique of connecting the output first and making connections to nothing to see what the implied proposition is was very useful - I should have thought of that.

I think this is most damaging to Google Cloud Platform as Amazon and Microsoft have demonstrated just how valuable such a platform is and it's often the developers who steer companies in choosing such platforms. But can we trust that any service on such a mission critical platform will last as long as our apps? Amazon and Microsoft have earnt our trust on this despite any other faults they may have.
I completely agree that the publicly available tooling in the functional world is shit. Haskell doesn't even have a proper debugger, let alone IDE support.

KDB as you say is common with financial companies. In fact I have only heard about it being used by financial companies. I have only used J, another array based programming system, and I found it brilliant for processing data. KDB has a niche in the financial world, and there is a reason for it. First Derivatives relies on KDB.

Obviously anyone who is doing anything interesting and profitable in this area is not going to be making it public, just like the world of betting.

There's another problem in the functional world, which is that the vast majority of publicly available talks you can find involve 90% wanking over the type system or how functional can beat C in some edge case (inevitably coded C-style) rather than focussing on the real world applications of what functional is suited to.

You're right that there are a lot of people in the functional world who have no idea about imperative, and could probably not tell the difference between a MOV and an LEA. I wager that these are not the same types of people who have actual high-paying jobs writing functional code.

The companies I mentioned have their own tooling, even their own compilers. They're applying functional programming to the niche it's suited to, namely providing a well-typed, functional interface to the more nitty-gritty systems, which are necessarily made up of Excel, COBOL and FTP file drops.

You're just not going to hear about this in the typical type-system wank talk/blog on Youtube/Medium.

It may be the fact that, even if you tidy up your yard, as soon as you step out of the premise, you're in garbage land - if you value beauty, you will be depressed anyway. Plus, no doubt it's partially cultural i.e. a lot of these well-off people grew up poor, so it's in their values to not care about the beauty too much (they were raised by their poor parents to focus on survival, and that's what they did for their whole life until they became well off). Their children may be different though, esp. if they go to an university in a cleaner city.
In my experience, it's:

1) Less verbose and easier to write, but slightly more "error" prone (think: Java vs. Python).

2) More widely used in industry. VHDL is more heavily used in the defense industry (it came out of DoD).

3) Better support for verification (e.g., SystemVerilog).
this is super cool and i would pay for this. Bigquery is a cheap alternative to a lot of the mobile analytics tools.

Quick point however - why do you need a new database ?
You can use a table inside bigquery itself. It seriously reduces the dependencies required.
Its too late for them. No one would trust their business to a company with a reputation of closing down services for no reason or worse yet entire business accounts with no ability appeal.

This reminds me of the Summer's memo [0]:

This does not even follow from the parent comment. I quote:

" it's not only the very poor, it's also in front or in gardens of villa's in those countries. "

I live in Panama, which might have higher per capita GDP than some of those countries, but it still has high income inequality. I have been to neighborhoods with small houses, no glass windows, and no painted walls, all markers of low income, given the somewhat americanized consumption habits of the middle class population. The worst you would see is that they burn their trash, because no one is coming to pick it. They have gardens will plants, both for food and decoration. People with higher income just buy more land, a grass mower, and irrigate their grass in the dry season. So, I see this behavior as a matter culture. Clearly in neither case are people "too occupied with bare survival" but neither has a cold-minded science-based idea of what it means to care for one's surroundings.

This is the problem with taking on lots of venture capital - the pressure to grow and meet impossible expectations. Evernote could have been a great small-medium sized software company, making it's owners and employees nice money and satisfaction. But instead they needed to make moonshots to make VCs happy.

The shift to business and all the bloated features in the core app became a big turnoff to me.

How does a small attack rocket do that? Rise debris 100km and keep it in orbit for days?

White light contains light of all frequencies, so a violet paint that only reflected a single frequency would look very dark since it would only be reflecting a tiny proportion of the light that hit it. Even if it reflected a range of frequencies around violet it would still look very dark unless the range was large enough to also contain a lot of blue.

If you wanted to see "true" violet, your best bet would be to find a monochromatic violet light source. A Blu-ray laser would do the trick. But it won't look any different from the RGB imitation aside from being brighter.

EDIT: Please do not shine a Blu-ray laser directly into your eye.
