I'm a bit surprised nobody seem to have mentioned Bear Notes.

I've used Onenote, Org Mode in Emacs but I am very happy to have discovered Bear Notes (https://bear.app/) last. year. It has really changed how much I document, work with text, store info etc.

Bear handles images, lists etc inline. It allows for very easy tagging (creating hierarchies) etc. And it looks really nice. Even with good fonts, Org Mode never really looked pleasing to me [0]. And I found that easthetics is really important for me to actually use the tool.

Bear uses SQLite for storage, which can be accessed with any SQLite tool (I've tested it). And it can also do batch export to a number or formats. The exported files looks good and can easily be imported into other tools, for example Org Mode (I've tested it). Bear can also export to PDF with styles. I actually use this to export my notes as reports to the company board, customers etc. And I've gotten compliments on how good the reports looks. ;-)

Finally Bear syncs easily. I can now work with my notes on the phone, iPad and laptop.

If I only could get the tool to use a solid, non-blinking caret life would be a bliss. Go Bear!
The fact these these comment threads are only about WWII, ignoring the dozens of other wars the US started, should tell people something.

The US military is killing people in, what, 7 or 8 countries right now, today? Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, and Niger? I feel like I'm missing some.
In the end—oh so tragic!—such finely dressed intellectual literature is naught but sensational marketing for the selling of a capitalism induced labor product (the author is selling a book) and the fallacious persuasion of a perceived and wishful reality that requires you to have “faith” and “certainty” rather than any scientific, consistent, and methodical evidence. Oh, but you write really well, intellectual soul! So cheer up! What does it matter?
What would you spend months on when buying a house? Over here (NL) a buyer inspection is a 30 minute affair. Then you sign a purchase contract straight away, three days to back out.
what?

Costco isn't for the poors - if anything it's the preferred destination of the upper middle suburban class. they sell high ends things. a lot of it.

i'm guessing Casper's main customer base is, again, cash-strapped millennials, so to argue that these customers are somehow above Costco is a strange take.
Well, these days, being attractive conflates with being already tall.
I looked at Oracle's page for Datafox and there's no mention of a trial anywhere. I searched on google for a trial and the only page that exists is one that is clearly from before Oracle bought Datafox and it doesn't even load properly.
> We could of course not have stopped Hitler's initial actions

Germany was not ready to fight a war in 1937, 1938, or even 1939, when it actually invaded Poland. Had the West actually responded to German aggression with a land assault, even as late as the actual invasion of Poland, then it's rather likely that the war could have been cleaned up before the Soviet Union would have invaded Poland.

Furthermore, an appropriate Western response to actually supporting the Central European states would probably have given the USSR pause before invading, as it would have demonstrated that the defensive treaties were not mere pieces of paper.
I think that's GP's point. The problem isn't that FB has declined taking executive power over deciding what's truth. The problem is that FB has too much influence. So the answer isn't to pressurize FB into taking even more power: the answer is to reduce its dominance.

Of course, that requires a political system motivated by doing the right thing for the country's citizens. As opposed to being controlled (sorry, lobbied) by monopolistic corporations and, in particular, where few politicians dare take a stance against FB for fear of the misinformation campaign that would inevitably ensue. On Facebook.
I'm not totally sure what 'this' is referencing, but if its the feeling that there are too many IPOs -- I see it as a good thing!

It's so hard to find investments where a company hasn't hit their biggest growth period yet. It feels like you need to be in some inner circle of investors to get in on some of that action.

I probably wouldn't invest in Casper, but I hope the number of IPOs keeps increasing!
What? I never noticed I put those quotes... Weird. I just removed the quotes. ...

On the main point. Yes, correlation is easy. Causation? I don't know, because I don't work in climate science. Is obvious correlation sufficient to establish causation in climate science?
The labor force participation rates for men and women are currently at 69.2% and 57.7% respectively. They arbitrarily exclude farming positions but cite mining, logging, manufacturing, transportation, and warehouse roles traditionally occupied by men. This article doesn't really seem to paint a full or accurate picture.
Maybe some 15 years ago I had a job interview. It went well and I was asked to meet the co-founders at a downtown bar. Being dressed rather casually I asked if it was appropriate attire for the bar. I was told "Actually, one of the reasons I want to hire you is because you look like what I would expect a computer geek to look like." (I'm paraphrasing, it was a long time...)
On average, there is no hourly pay gap for unmarried women and men without kids. After they get married, there is an hourly salary gap, and this gap is even larger for married parents.
As hours worked per day increase, the hourly pay rate also increases and married men spend much more time at their jobs (on average). Hourly pay also increases as experience increases. Married men with children spend more time at their jobs (vs. married women w/ children, on average), so they accumulate more experience over the years. The gap increases when they get older (on average).
There's a lot of money to be made in convincing people otherwise.

When you don't have someone to spend your money to keep up with the Joneses you suddenly need a lot less: less space, less home decoration, less clothes, less going out for food, a smaller ride.
> After our son was born, I received a call from HR notifying me that one of us would have to leave the legal department where David was now Chief Legal Officer (...)

This sounds like the worst possible policy I can think of. Get pregnant from your boss, and HR kicks you from the team! How does that help anyone?
What he is referring to is the use of the GPL export restriction to strong-arm companies into releasing their code as GPL. It's nothing to do with a legal requirement, he is just an open source licensing hardhead. See: https://lwn.net/Articles/603145/
I am not really seeing how any of the hacking discussion relates to a self distributed game, using a packaged version of Flash.

It’s not the browser, so it’d be easier for hacker to just distribute their malware directly than go to the trouble of making malware that hacks an unrelated game, then does something else.
> I disagree that licenses like SSPL are "almost" Open Source

Again, my definition of "almost" is what 99.9% of developers are actually likely to use it for. Most aren't interested in starting a competitor.

> Blocking companies from offering paid hosting has implications, not just on an ideological level but also on a purely practical level. Part of the reason I trust technologies like Matrix or Postgresql is because I'm hopeful that their hosting will be somewhat commoditized. I know that when hosts compete there, they're competing purely on hosting quality, not on software licenses.

There's nothing stopping companies from competing; they just can't use your code/binaries directly. They're free to implement your protocols themselves, which is very commonly done when people implement OSS implementations of Google or AWS APIs. Matrix isn't code; it's a protocol. If they had released their reference server as commons clause, you would be at exactly the same level of vendor lock-in you are now, because there are already multiple independent OSS server implementations.

> I also know that other companies will likely step up and provide alternative hosting solutions as well. When you restrict the ability to compete with your service, you make that less likely

Can you name a single example of this happening? From what I've seen, even moderately successful services (like Parse) simply die (aka self-hosting only). On the flipside, we have examples like AWS offering best-in-class hosted MongoDB that the mongo guys could never compete with, no matter how hard they try.

Sorry if my response seems combative. I'm mostly trying to improve my own understanding of what I see as a tricky problem. I've released a couple services lately that I would love to open source in some fashion, but there don't seem to be any great solutions.
Not bad news- I accept that by default, I'm going to lose the game. That's the "give me death" part.

Still that don't mean I won't try the other part, removing everything that could stand between me and my objective.

No kids = no college fund = more money to spend on life extending treatments if they become available

I trust the human creativity will hack death someday. The only question is whether I will be alive to see that day. If I'm not, at least I will have contributed my money to the good fight.
It wouldn't feel great seeing this as an employee of the company. The only reason you are not sold to the highest bidder was because the ceo got played.

For the entire state? I figured a county by county thing. But I do think more legal case law and publicly funded research should be open to the public. I know people feel that way about PACER, so someone created a plugin called Recap.
The richest men in the world didn't get rich as an employee of someone else, which is the case for most people in the article and on this board. They either created a company, inherited or married into wealth, or simply looted and pillaged it from other people.

These people make up an infinitesimally small proportion of the general population, and as such don't make for a good counter-example.

>The ignition source is really not relevant, that's the final step in a long chain and will happen naturally at some point.

I feel like it is relevant because even if Arson is responsible for 2% of the fires, it would be advantageous to mitigate things that are within our control. You can't control lightning, but ideally with proper education people will no longer want to start fires or you hold those accountable who do to such an extent it ideally prevents copy cats.

I feel the best way to stop something isn't applying the band-aid afterwards, but to try to stop it before it starts.

Personally I think that would be like saying, "How you get cancer is not really important, that's the final step in a long chain and will happen naturally at some point."

Learn how to use the phrase before you use the phrase.

For my part, a lifetime of contemptuous outrage at being part of a privileged class sounds exhausting, unfulfilling, and miserable.

Yeah, it touched a goddamn nerve. Listening to entitled people complain about how easy they have it, and then subsequently making a pithy attempt at virtue-signaling by trying to put themselves on a pedestal for surface-level attempts at austerity - and then projecting those values onto others as if they're flaws of character - has a habit of doing that.
> Finally, wildfires don't support life

Not entirely true. Forest fires and prairie fires are a part of some plant lifecycles.

It is obviously possible, we all do it all the time we just don't realize it. All that's required is realizing that your waking life is no more "real" than your dreaming life. You've just drawn an arbitrary line in the sand and called it "real."

> Facebook is just transitioning to becoming the digital equivalent of an oil company. They make a product that billions consume, but that many people think is doing damage to the environment (even though many of those critics still consume the product).

I like that analogy or narrative. The aesthetic value of the analogy is appealing to me.

Because arson isn't a key factor in the overall problem; it's basically background noise. If you used a time machine to remove the arsonists from the timeline, Australia would still be in a horrible fire season this year.
Only a billion? That can’t be right since a single ant colony can have tens of millions of ants...
Large mergers use 5% of the purchase price as a backout fee so the cost and waste of time is assigned back to the initial party. Still wasteful.

In the best position, I would assign a price as is no insider knowledge given. If they are interested they will buy because they already have research done prior.
You missed the point.

The ignition source is irrelevant. If an arson tries to start a fire during a wet winter the fire won't start or spread very far. However, we are in a difficult drought with very hot and dry conditions even in late spring. The problem is that once a fire gets started, by any means, it can spread very easily.
Indeed, nothing "involuntary" in any of this.
It is worth pointing out that Butler served at the time when the US foreign policy was pretty explicitly based on aggressive interest in foreign trade: if another country wouldn't let Americans in for commerce, than send in the Marines to force them to do so.

As a result, it's worth cautioning people that just because a fact of foreign policy efforts was true 100 years ago does not mean that it is true today.

What are the selling points for people already using aiohttp?
A friend of mine who sold his company told me that it's common to get approached and if the buyer is serious things move very fast. Most of the time though it's just a game of delay to keep competition in control and get more insights. So, if buyer is interested they will make an offer quickly (initially maybe too low), but they show they are serious by doing so. Dont get dragged in meetings or fly around to meet buyers like crazy. Better to focus on growing the business.
I mostly agree and wrote a similar sibling comment. However, I'm still trying to grasp your comments regarding unions.

Would that mean that nobody can have individual salary negotiations? Your colleagues can vote that you have to strike? Are VPs and Directors in the same union with line level employees, or what are the "sides"?

I've never worked in a union environment, so this might be an unintentional caricature.
My argument holds even when you extend it to the rest of what you say.

I was under the impression there is, within those fields, significant concern about the way men are treated. Males who are passionate about early childcare education are often viewed as dangerous by the parents. Same for male nurses.
>Young women however spend about 2 hours more on their phones per day more than men

What does "on their phones" mean? This is like saying they spend time "reading books." There are good books and bad books. There are edifying and educational books and pulpy trash books. Just saying "books" says nothing about the productivity.

I actually just reject the premise that our lives need to be defined by work - I am quite able to find fulfillment in my life outside of the labour I do for others and think it's a bit grandiose and self-harming to strive for this sort of work.
You should not expect to see an immediate change to your blood pressure after eating salty food, but you should expect a long-term change.

I'm reposting this from an older comment by myself (the links to pubmed should work but it's currently down):

>> Btw, since I'm idly browsing ncbi org, the following is a 2013 Cochrane meta-analysis of thirty-four randomised trials with 3230 participants.

>> I'm quoting the conclusions section but as usual the abstract has multiple sections including a Results section that's a bit large to post (but interesting to read):

>> https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23558162

>> BMJ. 2013 Apr 3;346:f1325. doi: 10.1136/bmj.f1325.

>> Effect of longer term modest salt reduction on blood pressure: Cochrane systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials.

>> CONCLUSIONS:

>> A modest reduction in salt intake for four or more weeks causes significant and, from a population viewpoint, important falls in blood pressure in both hypertensive and normotensive individuals, irrespective of sex and ethnic group. Salt reduction is associated with a small physiological increase in plasma renin activity, aldosterone, and noradrenaline and no significant change in lipid concentrations. These results support a reduction in population salt intake, which will lower population blood pressure and thereby reduce cardiovascular disease. The observed significant association between the reduction in 24 hour urinary sodium and the fall in systolic blood pressure, indicates that larger reductions in salt intake will lead to larger falls in systolic blood pressure. The current recommendations to reduce salt intake from 9-12 to 5-6 g/day will have a major effect on blood pressure, but a further reduction to 3 g/day will have a greater effect and should become the long term target for population salt intake.

Note again this is a Cochrane meta-analysis of RCTs, from 2013 (so quite recent). It's typical of reviews and meta-analyses since a long time and until now. There are a number of studies that have also reported not finding evidence of a link between salt consumption and blood pressure but it's important to remember that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, especially in the light of _presence_ of evidence (from other studies). I.e. if n studies find "no evidence" and m studies find "evidence" of an effect then we have "evidence" of the effect, not "no evidence" of the effect. How we evaluate the evidence we have is another matter.

This is the same reason I see trotted out by companies looking to defend gender imbalances; but the real issue is that the higher up you go in a profession, the less likely women are to be promoted. Even without kids. And these days in the US, "women with children" only get a few weeks off when they have children before having to return to work. Suggesting the difference in career outcomes is due to this time is ill-informed at best.

What we're seeing isn't a breakdown in "rationality" or "care for truth", we're seeing a global breakdown in the trust of authority. Vast numbers of people, including the president of the country and his supporters, aren't rejecting truth or rationality, they have so little faith in the supposed arbiters of truth, the mainstream media and academia, that they're willing to accept shoddy reporting that confirms their worldview. Indeed, what rational individual would trust a person who regularly shows prejudice and open contempt for their political beliefs, worldview, and concerns.

Instead of trying to to repair that trust, pieces like this hand-wring about "fake news" and the rise of anti-intellectualism:

"Why won't these dumb bigots listen to us? Don't they know we have their best interests at heart? If only they were more educated, like us, they'd accept our reporting and science uncritically!"

People like the author are unwilling to see how focusing on the "truth" of trite, inconsequential "facts" like whether Trump's inauguration was the biggest ever is pointless when compared to issues that really affect people. The fact that so much media attention was devoted to such a trivial dispute is a testament to the devolution of national dialogue and debate. Instead of digging deep into the meat of issues that affect people and addressing the central argument, it's a never-ending labyrinth of "gotchas":

"So and so was false when he said 64%, it's actually 55%."

"So and so said this, and this group came out demanding an apology."

This sort of reporting might be more forgivable if the rest didn't read like propaganda, twisting news stories into things that are "technically true", but designed to give readers a false impression. Media writers have realized that most read only the headline and maybe the first few lines before clicking away, and the writers see this as an opportunity to inject hyper-partisan deception into the minds of their readers this way.
