Having discussed this with my great grand parents who were born in the early nineteenth century, i am very confident most urban folks and a lot of rural folks in India knew how the British were looting India unlike how it's characterized in the article.

The real challenge was that the concept of "Indian" as an identity wasn't in existence widely till fairly recently - early 1900s of so. India has historically always been a divided society - along cultural/language, caste, tribal and religious lines. There were literally hundreds of small kingdoms and tens of thousands of powerful land owners who paid tributes upwards. Change in the ruling class with invaders taking over which had been happening with a reasonable frequency for thousands of years largely meant a realignment of the system of tributes.

Ironically, I think it's really the centralisation introduced by the highly efficient colonial civil service, the spread of communication systems like railway and telegraph and neutering of the power of kings and regional satraps by the British that allowed first regional identities cutting across caste lines (starting in Maharashtra and Bengal provinces) followed by a more broader national identity to emerge. The sixty odd years it took for the self-rule (later independence) movement to succeed roughly corresponds to the two-three odd generations it took for this national identity to emerge and even then there was sufficient inner division to require partitioning of the country on religious grounds.
We actually measured this when I was at Google. It turns out most Googlers and users of HN are weird - having lots of tabs open is the exception, not the rule, but it's an exception that's very common among the techie demographic that constitutes Google employees and people who criticize them. The average web user doesn't know what tabbed browsing is, and then another large plurality uses only a handful (~2-3) of tabs. The percentage of web users who have 10+ tabs open is in the low single digits.
pg would most likely have just banned you a long time ago. He was like 100x quicker to ban HN users than we are, and he never gave warnings like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22709413 or https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22606579.
I don't think you'll have a problem. If you can document your successes (even failures have successes), youll have more work experience and success than your peers. You will stand out, in a good way.
I disagree with your assessment of the options

Simply outlawing extreme ownership of capital, via high taxes is a way to avoid privacy issues.

Unfortunately, we don’t seem keen to enable people to live their lives. We seem keen on making people ogle these giant initiatives and enterprises.

I don’t believe that’s natural. Growing up “off the grid” until the 90s, I’m still aghast at how sycophantic people act towards Amazon or a Gates like rich person.

Then I started seeing how forced social interaction is for upper middle class especially.

I should point out my family wasn’t poor. On the contrary, my parents just wanted to raise us outside the mainstream.

Don’t get me wrong I, love the gaudy culture. What I’m talking out against is demands to organize it just so. To normalize to the point of absurdity human agency to propping up of finance markets and banal old men’s gambling fetish, lavishing praise and riches on men as “owners” of the things we build collectively at scale is absurd to me.

There’s too much evidence out there suggesting success like that is luck not skill, and continued success like that is due to corruption of human social goals, not a lifetime of extremely good luck.

Continuing to play that social ladder game is hilariously morbid motivation to me.

Why not just have these men take their genitals out and prove who can take more whacks to the sack. That’s really what all this stuff feels like to me.

Lookit Bezos dashing back in to save Amazon. The idea is the place is winning!! Oops reality gets in the way and they stumbled with logistics hard.

Thanks to lavishing Amazon with praise in the form of billions, they’ll power on through it no problem. Tens of thousands of employees spared!

Meanwhile, thanks to the tax system literally millions of people are fucked.
Ah good catch, mobile experience is very MVP, I only focused on the web for desktop use. For mobile iOS native is the way to go I went crazy on the native features :)

Thank you so much!
I wish you had created this a couple of years ago! I wasted a lot of time then trying different note-taking apps for a personal writing project. I ended up doing it all in a text editor, as every app I tried failed in one way or another. Collected Notes would have been perfect.
There's a footnote about Saul's interesting name, which leads to:

Pawanson is a bit quirky — his unusual
last name is the product of a decision
he made years ago.

"I was born Paul Swanson," he said.
"But I thought, 'there are lots of Paul
Swansons out there. 'So I changed it."

Amazing!
Thank you for your great work, Zulip is overall a very great experience!

Diet is so much more important for weight loss / maintenance than exercise. You can obviously have a healthy diet that does not include IF, but for most people they need to do something about their diet, and can’t just add exercise.
I have been following IF on-and-off over the past few years. It has helped me lose weight initially and then maintain it at a good spot. I have not done detailed before and after blood work to know whether it has had other effects. But one problem I have started having recently is acid reflux and acidity. People immediately pounce on this and tell me that skipping breakfast is what is causing increased acidity levels in my stomach. And my doctor is also suggesting that I do not skip breakfast. The problem is I do not have any concrete evidence for either case (skipping breakfast causes/does not cause acidity). I am hoping to get my acidity issues under control first and then maybe give IF another shot to see whether the acidity issues return. Just wanted to throw out there that different people might have different experiences with IF and it is very important to listen to your body.
Optimizing compilers will occasionally make these decisions, but often they don’t have to because the processor will make them themselves. Modern Intel processors already do macro fusion for the common pattern of “test this and jump the result”, micro-optimizing by changing the direction your loop runs in is generally not a good idea unless you really know what you are doing, have tested the code, and intend to never change your compiler or processor ever again. (And it still depends on how your CPU is feeling that day.) In general, the kinds of things you are mentioning produce in their best case a minor win over the optimizing compiler, and if you’re not checking whether they actually work, often make no difference or do much worse most of the time. And they often come at a huge readability/maintainability cost, so really you have to ask yourself if it’s really worth making these superstitious microptimizations.
I will note that particular phrasing would really turn me off as a hiring manager.

"I have a lot left to learn. I know this because I saw room for improvement at X, Y, Z. I'm looking forward to working with experts/professionals/etc more senior than I am to learn from them, etc."
Thanks for the movie. The kitchen suggestion reminds me of the joke:

- Did you know the soviets invented the Internet?

- It's true: we used to sit in the kitchen in our pajamas, talking about everything but never getting anything done. The only difference nowadays is that the illumination is cold white instead of warm orange.

What is North Korea? Cuba? Soviet Union? Doesn't sound like equality and dignity to me.

What you're not getting is that equality and dignity aren't even compatible if you try to push equality to extremes. Dignity means giving people freedom to make their own choices and live as they wish; the opposite of dignity is enslaving them. But as soon as people can make different choices they'll start achieving different outcomes - inequality. Not to mention the need to forcefully people who step out of their assigned 'equal' band of achievement - there's nothing dignified about crabs in a bucket.

NK and Cuba and USSR stamped out inequality pretty well, and they gave up on dignity to accomplish that.
Tried it on my iPod Touch. Would not let me use my email address. No response when I try to touch the small text at the bottom of the screen.
That's close, but basically you need to take the square of each element first, e.g. `m * * 2` [0]. This keeps the shape of the matrix while `m.prod()` returns a single number (multiplying each element together).

So it should look something like this: `np.sqrt((m * * 2).sum())`

Re: The error message, it looks like it's occurring because `sum` doesn't normally take any parameters and interprets the argument as an "axis" parameter — https://numpy.org/doc/1.18/reference/generated/numpy.sum.htm...

Why Incorpuk.com Is Best Alternative for Global Entrepreneurs
I just recently came across https://incorpuk.com after looking for the best alternative to Stripe Atlas for my Startup. The major purpose of Stripe Atlas is to help Entrepreneurs from Stripe unsupported countries to gain access to Stripe. So the deal is that, to get access to Stripe payment processor, you have to pay Stripe additional fee every single year. This method seems like the all in one solution. It sounds good. But if you consider how much you will spend per year you will realized that Stripe Atlas is not the real deal. That is one of the lessons I learnt. In addition, there is a corporate tax of about 21% at the moment that no one talks about. This money goes to the US government even if you don't do business in the US. When I early started using Stripe Atlas when It first started in 2016, I was paying a hefty 35% corporate tax for my Startup simply business Atlas was one of the only ways I can get access to Stripe.

If you are an entrepreneur, start-up founder, digital marketing or software engineer and you want to use Stripe and access other global financial services, your best bet is https://Incorpuk.com . No hidden charges like Atlas and you still get to have your own fully functional Stripe like people who are spending more money on Stripe Atlas every year.
Oh sorry about that, didn’t test on that device. Will take a look and fix for the next update!

I've lived in houses that had too little glass, and one with too much. The one with too much glass rendered half the house uninhabitable certain times of the day in the summer. If you're going to have glass like that, you'll need some sort of external shutter for it.

I don't think it's the rerunning that's the problem, but the misattribution, claiming others' work as their own or denying them credit (and presumably royalties).
Been a while since I read this, but at the time I recall thinking... Some of the comments on corruption and CRCs seem less relevant in a world where the block layer does better. For example if you store xz files on ZFS.
I think you should work on eliminating the perception of a publish step.

Everyone else is working how to best publish things and you stumbled on the solution: there is no publish.

The copy url option screen after publishing reminded me there is a publish. I think transparently use a Share option to share the url and have a share option under the notebook title.

Great concept.

The sample note is private, I did not realise this until my second session. I’d set it to public to illustrate the point above.
That sounds like a good idea.

> Tips on not be annoying but still have a good amount of messages and discussion with them?

This point refers to being observant. I.E. open up a ticket about a feature that's already been implemented, and go through the implementation, how did the developer go about implementing everything. Preferably a more recent one, as old ones might be something that was rushed through at an earlier stage of the development or simply legacy code.

> Whats your opinions on prototypes? In terms of how functional they should be. Personally I build prototypes just to work and show the general concept, but could not be used by clients for "production".

Double edged sword. Prototypes are a great thing when you are 100% sure you have plenty of time ahead of you. Otherwise they just become a "working" solution that sneaks into the codebase and goes to production with a "TODO: refactor" somewhere. Sooner, rather than later that bites back.

> So better collect for a bulk of questions and try to solve them in the meantime.

Bingo. And by grouping them together, some questions will answer some of the others. My advice - open up a text editor and write them down.
Tone Matrix predates yours by many years and was popular at the time. If you weren't aware of it, you should charitably assume OP independently built this too.
Binge eating can cause acid reflux, so I wonder if it’s a similar mechanism. Something about eating so much food in a small window maybe (?) doesn’t give your body time and space to digest it properly
Every time you call a method you are breaking encapsulation because you can no longer change the name of the method, it is exposing the internals. Thats why Message Passing has more guarantees with encapsulation.

Abstraction is overdone. Sometimes the simplest implementation is a function. Not a class.

Inheritance is a failed idea of code reuse because it leaves the code brittle.

You can develop GUI apps without OOP - Tcl / tk and some game programming guis are done that way. All that you need are callbacks essentially.

Polymorphism is essentially overloaded functions and you don't need OOP to support that.
This actually sounds great. Loved it.

> It’s not intended for very sensitive data.

I hope you don't take this as a criticism, just feedback, because your product looks quite nice and if I weren't such a worry-wart, I'd probably subscribe.

My issue with all notetaking applications is that all of my notes are "very sensitive data" to me. I treat my notes repository like a combination diary, scratchpad (where I plop things like temporary passwords and API keys), and memory dump. I know it's probably unreasonable--you seem trustworthy at first glance--but I have this pretty big fear of my notes store accidentally leaking or even just an admin trawling where they shouldn't and reading stuff I've noted down.

Like you, I'm still on the hunt for "the perfect notetaking system" but my A-number-1-highest-priority feature requirement is self-hosting on my own hardware. If you offered that, even for a fee, I'd probably buy it because it looks quite nice.

The point is not that devices don't own things but that the owner of the device / creator of the software can't copyright its outputs in his name.

why should the human who invested all this work not be entitled to the copyright?

It's not about being poor or not, or what I may or may not have given up in pursuit of self-actualization or whatever. The point of the comment was to refute the notion that "Only someone with lots of money would say that time is the (most valuable form of) wealth."

I say it is, for me at least, and I definitely would not be described as "someone with lots of money."

That seems kinda low. I've personally never seen anyone get knocked out by a single bolus < 1mg/kg. The only citation I can find is 0,5-2,0 mg/kg if primed with midazolam which sounds more reasonable but is still a big caveat.

I guess the problem is hiring managers don’t necessarily see it that way 100%, or at least that there are other agreements to consider. E.g. if I hire someone I know they have a legal right to quit after one month, but I still have a fiduciary duty to try to avoid hiring lots of people who will.
