Yah for sure.

Which is sad because I really want a car the size of the X. But at like 55-65k. Basically a Y+. I don’t need falcon wings nor rocket speed.
My two biggest issues, skimming the website:

- this does not seem to be open source or free-as-in-speech. That worries me - especially when it comes to longevity. It's the reason I wouldn't use this product if it was by Google.

- i don't see an easy way to export my data in case I would like to migrate to a different service.

That being said I am definitely going to try it out and see what it does for me! There is definitely a gap in knowlege-mapping software in my life

Not in an antiviral context, and certainly not for SARS-CoV-2.
So the site is mostly promoting the technology, right? Is there any popular platform that uses PeerTube and actually has interesting or exclusive content?
Hmm, from this I've learned that Blackadder is historically inaccurate (who'd have guessed?); the first series, set in the late 15th century, features a ridiculously embellished codpiece, but according to the article that's probably a bit too early.
Castro Inc. is the source of the problem in Cuba.

The fact is Saudi has Oil, meaning they can keep their population fed, also, their version of 'totalitarian' is cultural, not ideological. They've had similar rules for 1200 years. If it were not House of Saud it would be House of X, same thing.

And Israel is racist? But not the surrounding regimes who want to wipe them off the face of the planet, and have tried to do so on a few occasions?
Though I agree making the interior sexy is not particularly important. I think a large portion of SpaceX’s success thus far is due to making space sexy and interesting to the public again.
Google uses my watching data in YouTube premium paying or not. They only claim not to show ads , that’s what most users care about . Even if FB sells / uses the data , as long as you don’t see ads and promoted content there are enough people who will pay for it

20 million for YT @ 5$/month is more than 1 billion in revenue per year. Given that 20M is just 1% of the user base , there is probably not a lot impact on the ad revenue either.
I've been happily using Protonmail for the past 2 years. It's not going to have all the bells and whistles of Gmail, but I'm a minimalist so it's perfect for me.
Regardless of whether death is a direct consequence or an outside risk from the action you’re still just as dead. It might matter for the court system assigning blame but it doesn’t matter from an economic perspective.
Yes it has, just not for Apple. Chrome/Chromium do Courgette (binary diff) updates to great effect. Those 8GB Xcode minor release monsters could definitely use some binary diff love.

> Logistics companies rely on huge amounts of optimization and problem-solving. Finding routes for drivers and deliveries, planning schedules, optimizing store layouts, etc. -- that's AI.

Is it? These have largely been done with MILP and related tools for decades, and those approaches have never been called AI. What AI techniques are you thinking of here?

Anyway, AI gets a bad rap because there's so much hype and snake oil out there that the signal is being lost in the noise. I'll be much better disposed towards it once the next AI winter hits. Like for instance, I have great respect for anybody selling an expert system at this point in time.
I've been using Obsidian for a short while after seeing a comment here on HN. I've used a lot of desktop notetaking apps, and this one really is different. It's the app HN commenters would write themselves. I expect it to be very successful in the next few years. It hasn't changed my life, because I'm not going to trust it with anything important right now, but they do have an ethusiastic community.

There's a new video out today if you want an overview:

I think Roam's graph is flawed, but it's much better that Obsidian's, which you can't even zoom out of. Also Conaw experiments with some neat things like to-do lists that double as backlinks, Kanban boards, Pomodoro timer (ok that's overkill but it was added recently anyway). Daily note-taking is also pretty streamlined in Roam with new notes created every day that can be referred to in a neat fashion, and perhaps also allow for SRS.

Idk, Roam feels too familiar to me as well, so I doubt that I'll drop it anytime soon (we'll see how will I handle the future $15 price tag).
> In some sense we are sacrificing lives for scientific validity, because it is potentially possible that we could deploy early, ignore blackouts, and have probabilistically fewer deaths + tainted data

This is spurious logic.

How are you saying that tainted science + bad data will result in fewer deaths long term?

You may end up with probabilistically more deaths + tainted data.

Why is that not a possibility?

The comment is definitely with regards to businesses and with regards to advances made by the business as seen by stakeholders.

I did not intended this to apply to anything else.

I may have made an error in my post, though. Making unpredictable progress is not lethal in itself if you can show steady progress. It should have probably been worded "lack of steady progress is lethal to businesses". It is ok to have some unpredictable projects as long as you can build trust with steady progress somewhere else in sufficient quantity.
This looks great! Good timing too, since Roam has recently closed its doors to new signups. I've been looking for a new notetaking / PKM / Markdown app recently, but unfortunately all apps out there fall short in at least one of the following criteria:

* bidirectional [[wiki links]]

* support for both inline and display math

* customizable themes / CSS

* rich formatting beyond markdown (e.g. wrap content in <div> tags with custom formatting--useful for e.g. placing a box around text, etc.)

* WYSIWYG (crucial for documents with tons of math and rich formatting as above) including wysiwyg editing of tables

Tools I've tried that come close but aren't quite good enough:

* Jupyter Lab / Notebooks

* Typora

* Roam

* OneNote (just let me write $\LaTeX$ math!)

It's actually been quite frustrating. because some apps are soooo close to what I need, but they're closed-source so I'm powerless to make the small improvements I need. My current workflow for notetaking uses a pretty suboptimal combination of Overleaf, Typora, and OneNote. I'd really like to be able to replace all three with a single tool. At the moment, the only thing that comes close is a Chrome tab with document.designMode="on".

To the Obsidian team: Please add inline math support and consider WYSWIG!

Modern programmers don't get paid to write down the code per say, you both write code as well as do the engineering part. Or maybe if you are using a framework you are just typing code? I dunno. But if you have already solved a problem, it will take significantly less time to re-write, and you could probably make it better too as you know the weakness of the old implementation.

Still not sure if having a mind map would make it more usable. Do you feel having mind map like this would help you ?
Another thing that is extremely annoying is the hiding of urls in Chrome. Hiding the protocol and the rest of the url besides the domain. When you go to click up in the url/address bar to change a section of the site the protocol re-appears and messes you up.

Or when you click in on some mobile and the whole url disappears and you just wanted to change part of the url.

Yes Google there are still people that want hackable urls, I remember when that was something they pushed, clean urls that make sense so you can type in where you are going.

AMP might be the thing that actually brings anti-trust, so not needed and very anti-competitive using their monopoly position to stifle competition and innovation rather than extend innovation and compete on product. Google should reward fast sites not band-aid it with an anti-competitive AMP. AMP also creates lots more work for content companies and it is only useful for Google. Essentially content companies are doing Google's work for them.

McKinsey and the management consultants have taken over large swaths of Google with stuff like this and AMP.

Here's hoping some pirate product people/engineers put up a flag and start returning to product over management metrics.

Google seems to be slowly self-immolating.

I've stopped using Google Chrome and Google Search. The only time I use Google Search now is when DuckDuckGo doesn't quite deliver and then I do so using an incognito window. Next step will be to ditch Gmail, and then Google Cloud & Firebase.

This might sound silly coming from a lone developer in South Africa, but my experience is that we live in the future, and developers with a mass intuition is rarely wrong. If the trend continues, then in 10 years' time this will be the popular view.
Yes, I'd rather spend my working hours in an office surrounded by people instead of alone in my apartment.

Maybe you're looking at it the wrong way. It's not about needing a babysitter. My coworkers and I get lunch together, we banter, we play ping pong. Things like that are not possible when we work from home every day.

Also, have you tried having a happy hour over Zoom? It sucks.

I'm not paying $50/yr for that sorry. A yearly fee for this is unrealistic and is way more expensive than other products like Quiver or SimpleMind which offers a lifetime product
Definitely can use across computers using a cloud sync provider (dropbox, etc).

You can also have multiple vaults, and if you want to collaborate, you can share that vault with someone.

Realtime collaboration may be a bit dangerous with syncing over a cloud provider. They are also planning a subscription with note hosting - perhaps that will include some form of collaboration.

If you put all of your GH wiki pages into a single vault, that may be a solution (though I don't think it's possible to create a solution to your setup in the most general setting - you'd have to be able to link to any file on your OS).

But you can throw your data up on a server and make it accessible from anywhere with an internet connection

> Pfeffer's Power is a good read (but quite controversial -- the book basically makes the claim that CEOs are fundamentally psychopaths).

Can you point me to a summary that makes this claim? Because https://www.slideshare.net/johnnemo/power-by-jeffrey-pfeffer... certainly doesn't.

You made 2 appeals to authority - of dubious authenticity - and I have no reason to assume you wouldn't make a 3rd if you thought it'd give you extra points. My background is: ex-CEO.
Honestly, wondering how the touch interface will work in this mission. Always thought it will be tough to make sure the touch works as opposed to physical switches and buttons.

I doubt they will completely remove algorithms from the curation process. In my experience what is incredibly powerful is human curation ability multiplied by the leverage of algorithms.

The most straightforward example of this is for curation candidates to be proposed by algorithms, and then finalized by humans.

That approach works really well for things like creating digital maps from signals, and is employed pretty extensively by mapping companies as productivity multipliers.

Or even more familiar, it's what's behind things like smart select and magic wands in image editing tools.
* Until there is no hard evidence, those troll farms are conspiracy theories.

As far as I see reading about the report, there were multiple indictments made against several Russian entities and nationals for online campaigns supporting Donald Trump [1]. They were (obviously) not prosecuted, but the evidence is there, otherwise there would be no indictments.

[1] https://www.businessinsider.com.au/mueller-indicts-russians-...

* Besides, these days the left press is so ridiculously biased that NYT, Guardian, etc could easily qualify as troll farms.

This feels to me like you are not diversifying your news sources at all, and are only reading biased right-wing news and using that to feed your existing biases. The left wing media is not anymore biased than the right wing media, and there exists a scale of bias on both sides (there exists both ridiculously biased left wing media and ridiculously biased right wing media and everything in between).

I suggest you diversify where you get your news from to get a clearer picture of the world. Try to keep more of an open mind. Nothing good comes from blindly following one side or the other - both sides have plenty of good and plenty of criminals.

* You mean the "e-mail server" (lol) which was "hosted" at her bedroom? You do realise that here of all places there is probably the highest number of people to see how ridiculous this is.

Plenty of people have a private e-mail server at home for one reason or the other. This was blown up way out of proportion. Partisanship has heavily clouded your judgement here.

* There is always something to hide, the question is were they guilty of what they were accused or not. Also after this appeared:

* 'What is our goal?' one of the notes dated January 24 2017 - the day of the interview - read. 'Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?'

* I would not give too much credibility to those investigators.

This seems like a conspiracy theory to me. Weren't the investigators Republicans themselves?

They produced 371 tv shows and movies last year. Combine that with previous years, it’s a lot of content that they own.
At least there is no face lighting inside them. (Or is there??)
Yep, and they use Courgette for all of their Chrome/Chromium updates. It's why no one ever sees long "Downloading update..." progress bars in that browser anymore. 100KB binary diffs are typical. Blink (no pun intended) and you'd miss the download.
What I'm looking for:

1st priority: macOS & iOS apps that always sync, open FAST, and look clean, to enter new notes with no friction. Like Bear (which I currently use) and Simplenote (which I used to use).

2nd priority: Bi-directional links. Like Roam and Obsidian. Transclusion. Like Roam (and Obsidian?)

I'm willing to pay up to $15/month. Like Roam.

Are there any solutions that give all of the above?

Up or out, amirite? Likewise, if they've spent 20 years in industry and haven't saved enough to retire, what have they been doing?

There's a lot of growth that can happen in 20 years that will be invisible to you in an interview loop. Things like patience, humility, perspective, compassion, ability to teach/mentor, etc. Focusing on technical ability at the junior level with leetcoding, and technical growth at the senior level, means you will filter out all but the most exceptional (or one-dimensional) senior candidates.

In your opinion, is it acceptable to have grown for the first 10 years of your career, hit a personal snag (burnout, parental healthcare, medical condition) and then reluctantly chosen to coast on your career and skills for 10 years? If this is not 'equally qualified' as a candidate who has been "only" been working for 10 years, then what are you saying about older candidates? Because this kind of stuff happens to a lot of us--and I might even be as bold to say it happens to most of us.

And as far as "predicting future growth", does this mean you wouldn't hire a 60-year-old who planned to retire in a few years? Keeping in mind that most hires leave before a few years anyway.

Afaik, Gitlab's wiki/knowledge base is also a separate repository and content is added/updated via regular MR flow. Our knowledge base is still part of the main codebase due to practical reasons (CI/CD related), but we'll eventually also migrate this to a separate repository as well, to avoid the unintentional gatekeeper aspect as you mention ;).

At first I didn't really care for the SpaceX suit because I liked the raw look of the old NASA suits. But looking at it more, it reminds me of motorcycle leathers and that sleek look you get when your gear fits just right.

It is not either free or paid , it can be both . It satisfies a need for the people willing to pay for the privilege of not seeing ads and gives additional revenue even.

I wonder how many real word resources are wasted over this. It costs money to serve that data, it costs money to download that data, it congests the network wherever that data is being routed, it consumes energy however that is generated in the region.

Windows Update does this too, if the transfer fails it starts from zero. Multiply this by... what, a couple million times for each update?

I assume they run the numbers and it's cheaper to just dump all the data and run things inefficiently, compared to having teams deploy it correctly. It's just a waste though, and it pisses off your customers.
Reproducibility crisis is well known, especially in social sciences. However, it affects other science fields as well.

In a nutshell, the crisis is that there is far more incentive to churn out a new publication/study than reproduce an existing one. So we have tons of studies that are the only one of its kind that have not been reproduced. The crisis part comes in where attempts to reproduce the results of these studies fail which throws into question the legitimacy of the entire field's publications.

So you can imagine how putting your faith into covid-19 related studies (such as effects of hydroxychloroquine) that were rushed and results not reproduced independently can result in problems down the road.

Science is probably the best tool we have for determining truth. However, it takes a long time and a lot of effort to converge on the truth and people put far more faith than they ought to in the results of fresh publications that have results they like (or fear).
Eh, I mean, fit kinda matters more than the specific garments anyway. There's an older man at my office who dresses in a style that looks like a Victorian English professor - hats, tweed and small glasses. It's totally a look that is "older" but he puts it together well and looks good in it.
Exactly what I had hoped to avoid. I only keep the Mac for cross-platform builds, site testing on Safari, and for hypothetically being able to open old 3D assets, but the old apps almost certainly won't work on newer Mac OS anyway.
