I bought one from the early campaign. As a thinking/planning device I write tens to hundreds of pages per month on paper and was intrigued by the focus on the writing experience of this product. And it is a good product- between the surface, the plastic pen tips, and the device software, provides a good enough writing experience. However, I found that my recall when using the device became zero. The loss of the physical process of reviewing and paging through written pages was unexpectedly significant, and "paging" through the digital pages did not help. So it sits unused. I should sell it.
Unfortunately this is not true, I found it used in the most unexpected places, even new developments as old as 2-3 years.

I never took a United flight in 2008, but I took both one and a Amtrak in 2016, and the food in the train was 100 times better than the disgusting stuff United serves you. They are the worst airline in economy for this.
> Maybe there is a way browsers could pass these preferences to all websites... something like standardized "omni-cookies" that apply across all domains? Or use headers?

You appear to be thinking that these websites care about what you want. They do not. They care about what they want you to do, and that is buy whatever they are selling, and they will use whatever technology and dark pattern is available to increase the likelihood of you buying.

It's not that they aren't aware that people don't want to be annoyed. They are. You don't need a new technology to tell them. They just don't care about what you want. Similarly, telemarketers aren't sitting in their conference rooms trying to figure out which citizens don't want to be cold-called and scammed into a contract.

You can solve this on an individual level: I don't care about cookies is a browser plugin that takes care of the cookie bars for you. Adblockers and Privacy-Plugins are great at blocking the domains of LiveChat-services and your browser lets you control your notification settings.

Ask HN: How much equity should give to third co-founder?
As two technical co-founders now we're looking for a new co-founder for our startup to accelerate post mvp sales process. Since we're lacking skills and also time wise it's not efficient to work on something you're not expert, mostly we focus more on product development and customer onboarding/support since now.
So what do you think as in equity split, what's fair for us, new joiner and also potential future investors?
A bit on current state of startup: It's on MVP stage B2B SaaS company. We have one active customer which is paying around 400usd / month.
We're working on it as side gig since last 2 years.

No, I said I would ignore people saying "that's a strange logo", there is not much you can respond to it. You might ask why, but I am not interested. This conversation, is a tad different, do not you think? If you do not, may I suggest you read it again from top to bottom?

> You are making my point for me: Objectification of women has a special protected status in society.

Holy shit... OK. I hope you do realize that you came to this conclusion by a false assumption, see above. I am only reacting to your statements, if defending it is a side-effect, so be it, I do not give a damn. But you thinking that it has to do with "objectification of women" is quite a tell of YOUR BELIEFS, not mine. It is what you see, it is your interpretation, it has nothing to do with me. I will not respond to any of your future comments.
There are some things like audio where it's nice to simply copy an audio file to a /dev/audio to play audio and read from /dev/audio to record audio.

That doesn't preclude having more advanced interfaces, too.

Easy Filters – Intro to GPU Pixel Shaders
Judging from the age range (and from a previous life as a neuroscientist) they're probably undergrad and grad students who signed up because they saw an advert on a college notice board and thought it would be cool to have a brain scan. There's big issue in recruitment of subjects where many, many studies use WEIRD people as subjects - Western, Educated, and from Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic countries. It costs a hell of a lot more if you want to recruit a broad section of subjects. I'm not sure that participant re-use would be a big issue here because it's an anatomical study, unlike other studies where subjects might have learned skills from previous rounds of testing.

However, they do say in this paper that "Control subjects had no previous experience with meditation or similar practices." They're careful not to make claims in the paper that the mediation caused the changes in brain structure - "our findings suggest that long-term meditators have structural differences in both gray and white matter" - which point to exactly what you were suggesting as a next step: take a group of people who've never meditated before, split them into a meditation and non-mediation group and follow up after a year or two.
Sure but moving means you do a total inspection and replace anything that is wrong 2-4 times per year. You can also clean off any mildew, water damage, plug any holes, deal with any ground issues underneath, leave behind any biological waste, etc.
My belief is more that God is omnipotent and most benevolent.

In his benevolence, he has the power to create near infinite multiverses, with a universe branching whenever each of us makes a moral decisoon. God gives us consciousness in the one where we are at our best behavior. Maybe in an alternate universe, I become an asshole billionaire, or marry someone who drives me astray. Maybe in a parallel universe, a close relative commits suicide and inspires me to join them. This world that I'm in is the best world for me, but could be a bad world for someone who has recently committed suicide in my conscious world.

It's not too far fetched. I got the idea while building some procedural plot generators. The characters have their free will and diverging paths, but it only picks the paths that were predestined for a reason.
I'm American born and raised. I find tipping as it has become in America to be abhorrent. It's purported to be a bonus for good service, but if I'm given poor service, the social expectation is that I still add at least 15% in tips or I'm stingy and rude. It's never even considered that perhaps the one paying my waiters is the stingy, rude one. Hiding an additional mandatory fee and enforcing it through social dynamics between two people who experience it as something entirely different from what it is purported to be while continuing to insist it's just a bonus is simply rotten. Tips should not be an expectation, and if it takes doing away with them entirely to separate ourselves from that expectation, so be it.

Go didn’t get much traction until they added Windows support? I could believe that Go began to take off around the time that Windows support was added, but that seems more of a coincidence than a cause. How many deployments are running on Windows, anyway?

Genie: A full-stack MVC web framework for Julia
I want to thank you for this page! It really helped me understand how X11 worked when my job at the time required some rather esoteric (to me) X11 knowledge. I had to write a very specific purpose window manager (in JavaScript, which really made it interesting) that had to work around some odd client behavior, and I also had to submit a patch to X.org to fix a bug in Xephyr. Without your guide I would have spent far longer digging in the docs to figure things out.
1. For small databases (up to a few GB) my personal preference in the past 5 years was MS SQL (Express Edition, free), then PostgreSQL and last is MySQL. That means the answer to your specific question, PostgreSQL. Why? That is the order of features, ease of use and performance in my experience, other people may have seen different.

For larger databases I have no experience with either PostgreSQL or MySQL, I was spoiled to use MS SQL for up to Terabyte size and that's the largest I've ever worked with.
It's not required. Perhaps Firefox's implementation of privacy blocking breaks the behavior of the API, which has a standard way of denying location information. Or maybe you're also blocking the IP geolocation service that I use as a fallback.
Why? It seems to me private ownership has performed at least as well as public for the preservation of the trees.
I have seen many OSS projects that enforce exactly this. One example that comes to mind, HighCharts.js — free until you make any money.

> But is a ISA that wasn’t designed for embedded really that well suited for it?

But 8051 was designed for embedded:

> The Intel MCS-51 (commonly termed 8051) is a single chip microcontroller (MCU) series developed by Intel in 1980 for use in embedded systems

(wikipedia)

> I can’t imagine how a clean, embedded first 32bit ISA design wouldn’t be more appropriate

I guess we'll see how riscv will develop.

The 8051 was always designed for "embedded". It's a microcontroller. The ISA is nothing like the 8080's.

Even that isn't true. Plenty of information can be gathered on even the most privacy oriented person due to the actions of others: see Facebook's shadow profiles, or even the use of the DNA your relatives uploaded to learn about your medical history.
DoorDash broke the trust of both drivers and customers when they silently changed the model away from one in which tips go into driver's pockets and one in which they go into theirs.

DoorDash's attempt to change the conversation toward where they will set other variables in the pay model is a red herring, and there is no valid reason why they need be set in a way that causes overall pay to be lower in a system in which they are not stealing tips.

Based on what I have read, "kv store" is a major over-simplification.

A number of companies have built special-case storage services/APIs on top of MySQL. This is not the same thing as writing your own database. In any case, it shows the strength and stability of MySQL for high-volume OLTP use-cases.

Also I don't think "very long running transactions" were the singular core of Uber's problem. InnoDB MVCC doesn't handle those well either; a long-running tx blocks the purge thread and causes a pile-up of old row versions. While the impact of that is less severe in InnoDB than in Postgres, it's still very bad and will lead to performance degradation and undo-log size bloat.

That’s a really bad development, especially with increased scrutiny on the environmental impact of domestic air travel, which is growing exponentially. It’s a horrible product with a worsening customer experience that’s harming our planet yet enjoys a near monopoly in the U.S.

I have been closely watching the Texas Bullet Train ambitions to use Shinkansen trains to connect Houston and Dallas. 90 minutes. Privately funded at $15 billion.

Interestingly, current legal debate is whether or not the organization can call themselves a railroad before they are actually operating a railroad. They have 30% of the route’s land needs secured, but they’d absolutely need to exercise eminent domain to complete the project. And to do that, they need to be a railroad.

I often think that if Elon really wanted to combat climate change, he’d take on domestic air travel, and to do that well would likely mean some sort of rail project. Maybe self-driving cars and better battery tech will get us there first; I’m just doubtful.

Meanwhile I’m headed to a funeral this week and my only viable option is an airplane on an airline that wants to nickel and dime me to death and punish me for being a customer.

I love mine, even though I can't use it at work due to having a very secretive employer.

It's essentially an electronic notebook with zero distractions, which IMO is the whole point. The iPad pro has a browser, Facebook, Twitter, email, messenger, hacker news, Instagram, and a million other ways to get distracted. Even if I don't use them, you still get the temptation to use those, and it's pretty distracting.

When I take the reMarkable to write on it, my brain seems to switch gears to thinking mode. It's similar to the way that having a home office puts you in working mode when you enter it, even though you could technically work from the couch with your laptop.

The software could definitely be improved, especially the cloud stuff (can't even revoke anything connected to the rM cloud from the web UI), but as a thinking device it works great for me.

You could get quite a few notebooks and pens for the price of the device, but they don't have an undo button. Whether you prefer the finality of ink on paper (with colors!) or the ability to erase and redo strokes is up to you. I carry both in my bag, ymmv.
I rode the California Zephyr from Chicago to Emeryville in May and I LOVED it. The dining car was a big part of it, because I really enjoyed meeting strangers and having a chat with them. The food was decent for what it was. My roomette was small but it was enough space for me (traveling solo).

Even though we were 13.5 hours late (due to weather outside Omaha), it was a great experience and I'd love to do it again.

Buying an iPhone 11 Pro and not using it as a phone would be ridiculous. It's designed under different constraints.

The image sensors are tiny compared to good cameras. More photos hitting the sensor means less need for computational imagery.

The battery in a phone is one day only. A camera's battery will outlast that 5-10x, and you can carry a replacement battery.

Having a focus ring, dials to adjust ISO or aperture or shutter speed, means you can capture challenging shots, where with a smartphone, you point and pray. "Pro" adjustments are with finicky on-screen widgets, that you may not even be able to see in bright daylight or from glare.

If you buy a big DSLR, though, realize it's a hassle to drag it around. If it doesn't fit in your pocket easily, you may not bring it with you, and you can't capture a moment when you don't have your camera with you.

> Several years ago, a knowledgable guy told me that the most compelling reason for choosing between PostgreSQL and MySQL was the expected I/O: "for read-intensive workloads (e.g. blogs), choose MySQL; for mixed workloads (e.g. forums), choose PostgreSQL".

This seems a bit backwards. MySQL's main strength is OLTP workloads, including mixed read-write workloads / high write volumes. A majority of the giant social networks are using MySQL (or previously used MySQL before moving to in-house custom databases) and have insane write volumes.

For OLAP workloads, or mixed OLTP/OLAP workloads, Postgres tends to be a better choice. OLAP is inherently read-heavy, which is why I would disagree with the advice above.

Terrorist attacks seen scary. Many will glady give away any freedoms to take the fear away.

A terrorist attack is a result of pressure that has been building up finally erupting. If you want to stop attacks new outlets need to be created to channel that energy elsewhere.

The country is a democracy but when dealing with other nations things are more of a dictatorship. That power inbalance makes the otherside powerless. Powerless people without hope do stupid things like blow themselves/friends/family up. Find ways to give them a voice.

The number don't add up. Being scared of terrorist attacks is like being afraid of winning the lottery. Your chances are lower than you think.

>They support these ideas not because of a noble goal of perfect freedom but because they are annoyed that there is a more powerful entity that gets in the way of what they want to do with/to others.

The problem with statements like this is that they are presently unfalsifiable. Even though you've stated it as fact, it's clearly only an opinion that you've arrived at based on your own perspective and experience. However, you can't prove it and nobody else can disprove it.

The general practice of extrapolating worst-possible motivation from every action is, in my opinion, one of the reasons why it's so hard to communicate rationally these days. If you envision everyone 'on the other side' of an argument as demons, maybe sub-human, why bother negotiating? Fuck 'em, maybe a meteor will strike and wipe them out or they will kill themselves off through one of their many vices.

Ironically the brain-reading capability discussed is that they might lay this bare, expose some of the incorrect asumptions and start to heal some of the relationships between cultures and people.
