I have syncthing set up on my laptop and phone. On my Android phone I use Markor for viewing and editing the files, and the changes are then synced back to my laptop.

Admittedly I don't use Markor very frequently, and often just use Evernote instead when I'm on my phone and want to jot down something quickly... This is mostly because I feel the need to organize in folders etc when using Markor and vimwiki, so my mental model of it includes a bit more friction compared to Evernote.
No, because smart does not equate to rich[1].

I could be rich. I know what is required, but I actively choose not to put in that work and make those sacrifices.

Why not? Because I'm choosing other things like family and peace of mind. I reckon if I could keep those, I'd move forward.

Regarding your fear and insecurity: you're going to die sooner rather than later. You have virtually nothing to lose and a lot to regret.

1. In reality I make low six figures and am privileged to be "richer" than I ever thought I'd be.
It's wild to see something so obscure - yet so relevant to my work - on the front page of HN. The antimeridian problem has plagued the GIS and satellite imaging communities for years, and as the article illustrates, there is no simple solution.
Consumer networks lags badly, indeed. And inventing random new protocols won't fix limitations of MTU.
It is an appeal to one's Self.
I tried Vim Wiki as well as others but they were either clunky or insufficient for my needs. So I jumped to Emacs. Org is truly remarkable.
Makefile:2: * missing separator. Stop.

But yeah, other than that Makefiles aren't cryptic :)
I am also working on a similar product to Matomo, it also provides some of the Matomo's premium features for a much cheaper price: https://usertrack.net
Besides the fact that Signals "blur" doesn't even look remotely close to your example, they're working on the phone number issue:

> PINs will also help facilitate new features like addressing that isn’t based exclusively on phone numbers, since the system address book will no longer be a viable way to maintain your network of contacts.

I suppose the thought was: if two can speak about such a topic, they'll get along well. No idea if that was the case, nor about its merit.
Neat. Ping me if you have any issues (hello@photostructure.com), please. Also: this release is coming soon: https://photostructure.com/about/v-0-8/
Not initially, but as cost to orbit goes down and the satellite tech improves, it could become the default way over time.
"Kid friendly phone" usually means an older device that is disconnected from service and only has access to wifi (if even that) and apps designed for kids in their age range. I don't think they were suggesting giving the kid an actual full-service phone.
My SO and I are registered NPA. Sucks because we're blocked from voting in the primaries, but I'd rather not be associated with any single party.

One way we prepare for voting is we take the sample ballot and spend as many evenings (after the littles are asleep) as we can researching, individually, everything and every one on the ballot. We then discuss. We then fill out our sample ballot to take with us. Note, we do not vote the same. That's not the point. The point is to have a discussion and to help each other understand as much about what is on the ballot as we possibly can.
You are totally correct! Honestly, I didn't even think of that - nowadays, tab-bar might make more sense.

Or rather "we give you the option to work flexibly and be present either mornings or evenings and still get benefits". My employer provides breakfast and dinner in the office, and I don't think I actually know anyone who is present for both (but there is a 60-40 split on breakfast/dinner). I'm sure it happens, but interpreting it as a requirement is just bad faith.
Don’t be afraid of the theological content. It’s a good prayer. God believes in you even if you don’t believe in him.
Okay great. Then why does California a state with severe gun restrictions have such a problem with gang violence? Can you please explain?
You have to consider the car/truck traffic it replaces.
I'm sure you'll survive. But most other companies don't have ad dollars fueling your 500k$ salary so you might need to look for a few bucks less.
The "models" being tossed around are mostly valid as short-term forecasts. Because public policy (both government policy and aggregate human behavior) are part of the system, this is actually a feedback loop with a time constant measured in weeks, making forecasts beyond that point invalid quite quickly.

In contrast, I've recently modeled the pandemic response as a feedback control system, where policy/public behavior affects infection rate, which affects policy. This is a classic feedback engineering problem. I'm able to vary suppression vs. mitigation along a continuous curve and look at the long-term course of the pandemic. Counterintuitively, the policy frontier (economic vs human damage) is concave and non-monotonic, and has three distinct regions. https://www.circuitlab.com/blog/2020/05/28/surprising-covid-...

We need engineering-driven long-term thinking, so that we can agree on an optimal strategy, before we choose individual tactics to implement that strategy.

Japan, South Korea managed the outbreak by testing/tracing and no lockdowns. Exactly.

Obviously Sweden couldn’t scale to the same testing as e.g South Korea, but few countries could. Perhaps one lesson would be that if you can’t scale testing then locking down until you can would be good?
You need at least a related degree, such as computer science, at my company. A corsera course and a masters in information science would be helpful. Even then, they will likely take someone with a master's or PhD in AI/ML over an internal transfer. I had this happen to me.
I haven't used them personally, but I've read a ton of rave reviews about gandi.net. Namecheap also talks a good talk, and Cloudflare has a good reputation.
Interesting point. "our audience is all older people with little education, we should cater to them" -> no, actually that's just the only bit of your audience who let you track them, and you're annoying the younger, tech-savvy people who'd like your product if you stopped being technically ignorant ;)
I wouldn't be surprised if it would go over like a lead balloon at the IETF, and they're trying to do an end-run around them.

Not to mention, in my opinion, the ITU is far less transparent and more prone to backroom dealing.
I recently read a TechCrunch article about the CCP's plan to restructure global standards over the next decade. Is this proposal a product of that plan?

Ask HN: Fully Open Source SaaS?
Anyone have experience with making a fully open source SaaS company? What are the pros and cons? I know some companies had started as open source via a copyleft or even permissive license but it seems like many of them have changed to non open source licenses such as MongoDB, or they have an open core model.

Some benefits I can think of are better integration with many different services. Cons would be easily copying the product but as they say, a product does not a company make.

I'm supposing that my moat would be partially in product innovation but also in outbound sales, so I'm assuming that this can't be copied as easily as a `git clone`.

There are some attempts but don’t come even close to the real thing.
My wife has tried to get me to get a smartwatch but I wasn't sure what I'd do with one. I hadn't considered there were DIY options out there. This has me thinking of more projects I don't have time to do.

Yes, that is generally how investments work. Companies determined to spend more money than they are able to make off of patents might have exist, but not for long.
I have yet to read an article or paper which has convinced me that energy generating fusion is possible at low costs and with materials that we currently know of. I don't see why anyone (including governments) should invest in these types of projects. Not only is the science extremely complex, the implementation is a huge engineering challenge. We already have a huge fusion power plant at the heart of our solar system and we can harness its power with some pretty cheap solar panels.

If you want to read a better article explaining the science then try http://fusionandthings.eu/2019/06/05/new-calculations-show-p...
I find that emotional compartmentalization is a critical skill.

A couple years ago, I faced a very tough time in my life. My business was collapsing, my family's finances were in jeopardy, and there was a serious health issue going on.

The emotional stress was incapacitating. I couldn't sleep, let alone focus enough to fix my problems. It was the downward spiral nightmare scenario.

If I didn't have dependents (wife + 3 kids), I might have withdrawn into depression. Instead I was forced to fix my emotional state...

I constructed a personal prayer...

I am the man in the dark room.
In here, I am my loves, my principles, and my ideas.
Who I am cannot be changed by circumstances outside this room,
My loves are my legs which carry me to life outside this room.
My principles are my shield from the burdens the world assaults me with.
My ideas are the sword with which I shape my life.
When I return to myself in this room, the world remains outside, and I evolve to be better prepared tomorrow.

I found that even just stopping to say "I am the man in the dark room" was often enough remind myself that I wasn't defined by my circumstances.

To sleep, I found I could play the audio from old familiar TV shows to drown out the worries to fall (and stay) asleep - it was a surprising turn-around.

These two things changed my life. Hope this helps someone else.
Correct; it does not. Which is why steps were taken to minimize remote servers' ability to use secondary signals (such as access to localstore APIs) to make an educated guess about whether the user was operating in incognito mode.

It's not me who doesn't know how it works; it's the people who think "New York Times shouldn't be able to whine at you if you're in incognito mode to go buy a subscription" and "servers should be required to modify how they handle your traffic if you're in incognito mode" are compatible protocol features.
Actually, it probably makes sense for GM, in the same way that the AOL - Time Warner merger made sense for AOL.

GM’s core businesses is threatened by technological change. They might not be around in ten years.

Batteries and self driving cars are a big threat, of course. However, Detroit can probably catch up on those, eventually.

Factory direct sales and service (i.e., “the internet”) are the bigger long term threats, and are ones that GM is contractually forbidden to address. Also, they’ve had 20 years to adapt, and have clearly failed to do so. There’s no reason to expect that to change.

That gives Tesla a sustainable advantage. I’d certainly pay a premium for a car if it meant bypassing the local dealerships’ service counters.
Probably something lossless, ubiquitous, and that can handle more than 8 bits per channel. I think TIFF is the major standard and has been so for decades.

Of course that may change in the future but at least, because TIFF is ubiquitous, I am sure that it will be easy to covert to a new standard and that there will be plenty of time to do it.
I have only read a few short articles about it, but after it is compressed to a certain point, can it remain in the metallic state after the vise/laser is removed?
Been teaching myself to code for the last few months and have noticed the same thing. It is hard to develop skills on small projects and being a part of a bigger one in any capacity is what I was aiming for, so I check periodically. 3-5 years experience seems to be the norm. I know this is only a guideline for the ‘ideal candidate’ but still, I would just be floundering their expectations.

Although such ratios are fun for headlines, it might be more interesting to look at company-level Gini ratios for a better picture of inequalities.
> They didn’t do “next to nothing.” They used a cluster-based approach through their public health center network, that was put in place to combat TB in the 30s. Turns out, that was pretty effective at combatting COVID.

Also, IIRC, their culture is naturally more socially distanced than western ones (e.g. mask wearing was already common in some situations, bowing instead of hand shaking, etc.).
In normal driving 100KW is plenty for regenerative breaking. 300KW = 400HP which is heavy acceleration for most cars below 70MPH.
Anyone know why downvote functionality is not working for me on this thread only?
Believable false information has always spread and always will.

I grew up in a rural city and was taught to believe that jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams, aliens were real and the government was hiding them, farms were being oppressed by liberal government in favor of factory farms, ghosts were real, cellphones cause cancer, vaccines cause autism.

This shit was always here, but now people completely ignorant to the fact of it spreading now know.
By bad for not being clear, but it is in fact how our society works.

You may end up being shot while looting, it's a valid warning, and people did get shot.

Looting it's a messy situation, may escalate to a fight with police or the store owners, its totally within logic someone could get shot.

I am not american, nor do I live in the US, but I think the shop owner its 100% within his right to defend his property.

I also made an edit to my top comment btw.
iRonCub Flight Simulation in a Disaster Scenario
Yes, we are able to.

Many of us are choosing to separate the looters from the protesters, primarily because there is accuracy in that, and there is no need to dilute the message.

We are choosing to reframe the "its bad he died, whats up with the property damage" to "the property damage is bad, lets fix why he died", to make the message and focus less diluted.

And for people that aren't in that particular filter bubble and gravitate to focusing on ways of discrediting the civil unrest, I will help reiterate the message of how to realign that focus.

We currently work remotely. I do not know how long this will last. However, hiring and onboarding are continuing as usual, with the key difference that this is all done remotely as well. Right now, the procedure is that we send new hires their equipment. I'd recommend that you discuss this in your initial call with our internal recruiters as they know a lot more about those details than I do.
Don't ask why you were downvoted. It's right there in the Hacker News Guidelines. [1]

Secondly, you were probably downvoted because you didn't add any content to the discussion other than a link.

Session goes a long way to fixing Signal's problems like its reliance on a centralized server and phone numbers but it's still very early days with an unproven product. Messages still get lost all the time and if you thought it was hard to find your friends on Signal, it's the Sahara Desert on Session. You'd be putting in months and months of fervent pontification to friends and family you've probably just managed to migrate to your other privacy chat platform of choice.

Of course it’s being suppressed. R has been below 1 since what, mid-April? (Deaths and hospitalizations peaked on apr 24).
I'm not saying using HowTruthful is an obligation either. It's a good thing to choose to do.
Wouldn't any plotting library suffer from this challenge anyways?

One would first make a relevant data transform and then send it to whatever plotting library. I suspect anything further would limit the flexibility of the plotting library. To make sure I have minimal pain with data transforms, I first store/transform data exactly like I would in a real transactional database. Beyond that it just becomes a matter a joins and filters/projections.

Hello there,

I've maintained https://github.com/rcarmo/imapbackup since 2013 (and used early versions of it for years before that), so feel free to try it out and see if it fits your use case (mine was snapshotting existing IMAP mailboxes into mbox format, which was what we could use for migrating mailboxes across systems then, and also fit my personal use case for backups).
True.

Something that's often overlooked here is how extensive the required refurbishment is.

The "reusable" shuttle boosters and orbiter engines took substantial time (https://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/pdf/584723main_Wings-ch... says 4-5 months), money, and labor to get ready for the next launch. SpaceX is still making noise about trying out a same-day reflight sometime soon; it's clearly a much less involved process.
Ask HN: What would you pay $100/month+ for, if it existed?
Software, hardware, service, etc. Ideally something that could plausibly be built within the next ten years, but don't consider that a binding constraint.

If you would recommend that your company pay $100+, that also counts.

Some acceptable/plausible answers ten years ago: high-speed mobile internet, Uber, lots of SaaS companies. Feel free to add answers that exist now, didn't exist ten years ago, and which you would pay $100+ for now (even if it's free or cheaper in reality).

>Ben Shapiro's twitter is predictably a constant stream of ridiculing the protests

I don't follow his twitter, but, at least on his radio show, he criticizes rioters and looters and takes care to differentiate them from protestors. I think that's fair. Rioting and looting is not the same as protesting.
They just deploy the "Starlink v2" satellites when they're able to.

The wikipedia article says that he was injured and that he got into a conflict with him before shooting. He claims that this was while he was returning to his car and he was attacked by him. If this is true I see no misconduct by him.

The thing I never understand about these fusion reactors is how they plan on generating energy from them, assuming they exceed break-even. In a conventional nuclear reactor the coolant is piped to a steam generator which then drives steam turbines to generate power. This is a relatively obvious design and it was pretty well understood from the start of development how the power generation would work. Of course, there were a lot of engineering challenges to overcome to make it work in practice. While fusion itself is a harder problem (as the lack of success for decades has demonstrated), it seems like the power generation aspect has many new challenges as well.
And when these bad cops are protected from prosecution across the entire country, it's no longer about a single bad cop in a barrel of apples from an isolated tree. It becomes an institution encouraging bad policing, a systemic issue. And when you look at who funds the police...
You'll have to discuss this with our internal recruiters after submitting an application. When I joined, it was not an option, but that was before Covid-19 and our switch to WFH.
From this thread it would appear that one is either a hypocrite for complaining about something they participate in or arrogant for complaining about something they don't. Here, both.

It seems like a needless exercise to classify which type each person is. We can just take both cases with a grain of salt, address their points skeptically, and move on from doing psych evals on a couple sentences about something else.
Language is not a immutable, however the problem in US is precisely that people don't understand what fascism is. You have literal fascist organizations, you have white supremacy, you have tight coupling between the government and the military industrial complex, and so on. Everybody else in the world understands this, and it's time for people in US to start understanding what's happening in their country.
