> I've found that MacOS is much more touch-pad / mouse heavy than other OS's. For example, CTL-K is awesome for browsing through a Linux folder system. This would put you in the path area, so you can sort of use it like a terminal.

macOS’s Finder has the _Go to folder_ (⇧⌘G) command for that. It’s not exactly the same but it basically allows you to do the same thing.

i'm currently switching from windows/linux to Mac and I'm used to using a full-length mechanical keyboard with ins/del/home/end/pgup/pgdn buttons. Yes, mac has these cmd+ shortcuts that work as expected, but the "usual" keys behave wrong/inconsistent in some apps:

Chrome:
- Shift+Home/End selects to the start/end of the entire textarea.
- Home/End first scrolls the textarea, if it is not, if it is already scrolled (this is double weird if you are somewhere down in the textarea, press home, it scrolls you to the top, press home again, it scrolls you back to where you were with the cursor on beginning of the line, then it goes to the start/end of the line as expected.

Safari:
- Home/End only scroll the page, have no effect in textarea,
- Shift+Home/End selects to the start/end of the textarea.

Also, I can't get insert to work in none of my IDEs (pycharm, vscode)

If retina cells' energy absorbing properties are so selective, then how such treatment is different from daily exposure to ambient or dusktime sunlight? Or this 'recharging' stops in presence of 'wrong' wavelengths in the spectrum?

> This will be Nadella's Albatross.

It certainly has the danger of being like Bayer's acquisition of Monsanto and all the Roundup liability.

TikTok is facing many privacy lawsuits including the same Illinois biometric law problem that Facebook is currently trying to resolve. You'll remember that Facebook attempted a $550 million settlement, but the judge rejected it as being far too little. So now it is $650 million and as far as I've heard the judge has yet to accept or reject it. Facebook has admitted that this lawsuit could potentially cost them up to $45 billion if it goes to a jury.

I've seen commentary that TikTok will try to resolve all the lawsuits quickly so it can be acquired. But Facebook has been trying to settle their lawsuit for 6 months or more, and TikTok doesn't have that kind of time.

There are many out there that certainly must have far more insight into this than me, but I am definitely skeptical about this idea.
> If you disagree I would be glad if you could explain how Clinton specifically would do better.

It's impossible to argue a counterfactual but: she wouldn't have bungled her way into letting 160,000+ people die from COVID-19; I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have colluded with the Russians; Wouldn't have seen the illegal occupancy of government positions by unconfirmed nominees; Wouldn't have the Emoluments Clause in shreds; Doesn't have a charity that's been found to be little more than a funnel to their own pockets; Almost certainly wouldn't have started a catastrophically stupid trade war with China; Wouldn't have alienated Europe (except for the right wing countries); Wouldn't have pulled out of WHO, etc.

I mean, I could go on for hours listing the things that any rational person would have avoided doing if they were elected.

No, not really, if you honestly believe that Clinton is even within orders of magnitude as horrific as Trump.

Certain types of housing are plentiful and some are more scarce depending on what homebuyers want at some price and homebuilders can build at some price.

The clean separation between command-keys (for app-behavior) and control-keys (for emacs-like text navigation) is far and away my favorite aspect of using MacOS. I know it sounds crazy, but I navigate through text far more frequently than anything else. The ability to further customize[1] these to support meta-keys (using option) and rebinding caps-lock to control makes for a very powerful experience.

Ask HN: Referral fees and marketing a new product?
I'm a forties something software engineer with a heavy slant towards finance that has spent my life working for other people (still am). Lately I have been working on a personal finance application in my free time (think Quicken or Mint). I have used many of the offerings currently available and grown frustrated with them over the course of 20+ years using these different tools and never being able to change what I saw as shortcomings in the available tools.

This started out as just, "I'm tired of X, Y, and Z so I'm just going to build the damn thing I want." And even if I'm the only user ever; I will continue to build this for myself.

That said I think that maybe other people would be interested in the software, but I don't know really anything about marketing. I know some companies use referral fees, but I don't know much about them. Do you use flat fees or percentage of sale and what's the right pricing? If a customer was referred and later purchases an upgrade or adds a subscription service do you pay an additional "bonus" referral fee to the referrer? Who do I contact to let them know about my application to get them to plug/market it for me and how best do I go about this?

Any other pointers would be greatly appreciated.

At this time I'm not linking to my product as it is an installable desktop application (I know; old school nobody want that anymore...) and I haven't yet created a website on which to market it. I also don't want the focus here to be on my product specifically, but on how I would market it or other products in general.
Mac keyboard shortcuts is one of a handful of features keeping me close to macOS instead of switching to Linux.

I started using Emacs when I was around 6 or 7 years old. CTRL-[aeknpbfl] etc. are hard-wired into my muscle memory, and they all work everywhere on every app when editing text. All the other shortcuts use the Command key. This brilliant distinction made the transition between FreeBSD’s command line (what I grew up on) and the macOS GUI an easy one.

I’ve lost count of the times I’ve had to use a Windows machine where I’ve hit `ctrl-a`, started typing, and lost my document. (Just an undo away, but still.) So frustrating.

I recently discovered the KDE desktop. I thought, “oh, this is pretty and really customizable! I could switch to this.”

And then I learned there was no easy way to use Emacs keybindings everywhere. (Gnome has an option to do this and it works pretty well.)

If anyone knows of a way to get most of the core Emacs keybindings in KDE, please let me know.

Syzer: A CLI tool that updates your project dependencies at one go
Repo:
https://github.com/RocktimSaikia/syzer

Syzer is a node cli tool that checks your package.json of your project and updates the outdated dependencies at once.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rocktimsaikia/syzer/master...

The reasons behind building this:

1) I personally hate updating my project dependencies manually.

2) There are other similar libraries that do the same thing but I tried one and too much config. I had to specify the package.json file to update it. then what was the point of using that library. So ended up creating one myself.

3) 'npm update' already exists I know but it does not update the package.json file with the latest version tags.

For more info on how the use the tool check it's README instructions.

Because allowing Chinese companies to operate in the US is good for American consumers. This isn’t a zero-sum game.
My point was there was no accountability for actively suppressing warnings about what has been the one of the largest pandemics in modern history. If Chinese citizens demanded those responsible be held accountable, what would happen to them? Ignored? Warned by the police to apologize and stay quiet? Arrested?

I know much of western people agree with Trump's decision to ban ByteDance and Wechat, and it's fair to me when it's based on reciprocal.
But actually, ByteDance and Wechat(Tencent Holding) was and is growing more like a US company then a company with China Communism background. A lot of employee of ByteDance/Wechat are engineers like the engineers in hackernews. Even the CEO of bytedance, Zhangyiming, is now cursed in China for earlier friendly voice to US and western world.
I mean, why hurt the companies and engineers are or was friendly to US. The recently ban action is turning friend to enemy, why not put the punishment to other unfriendly subject or entity.
I'm definitely not saying that the Chinese government is in anyway a good example worthy of our compliments. That discussion however is off topic here.

If the US were prepared to backtrack on its reputation as the leader of free market then the US could instate equivalent laws in the US: "telecom equipment must be domestically manufactured by local businesses or by companies jointly owned by American citizens" would be a generically enforceable law, that's equivalent to what you cited. Huawai would have no option other than to comply and exit the US market or find local partners.

The problem is that's not what the US is proposing to do; rather the US is making unsubstantiated claims that ALL Chinese companies are born a crime and should not operate in the US in any meaningful way.

But how does such a company do well? Their focus is customer acquisition and referrals. It's perfect for something like curing depression too.

One of my clients is a mental health app. What we do is track their feedback on discomfort levels (physical, mental, emotional, visual) and how it increases or decreases as the treatment progresses. The payment system has been either pay one shot the first time or via donation. I'm wary of anything that charges for a subscription.

No. Size is the dominant factor. Lifespan and what stages of fusion it undergoes are dependent on its size. The more massive the star, the shorter its life span. Red dwarf stars can live for trillions of years, but massive stars may live less than a billion years.

Notice that haiguise wrote "at the core temperature of the Sun." A more massive star has a higher core temperature, and thus haiguise's sentence about fusion rates would no longer apply. Fusion rates are faster at higher temperatures, and that's why more massive stars burn out faster. Notice haiguise wrote "T^4" and "T^20." Our sun is roughly 5000K. Massive stars can exceed 10000K. At twice the temperature, T^4 and T^20 imply 16x and 1,048,576x fusion rates, respectively.

Edited to add: Wikipedia has an HR diagram with labels showing lifespans for stars at different temperatures: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hertzsprung-Russel_S....
That phrasing like that is a shibboleth. (It shows the person's beliefs/political attitudes).
From that statement, you can predict what the author's statements on various things will be. Or at least, it's unsurprising.

Listening to a variety of viewpoints in good faith is a good idea. Tribal, internecine discussion is usually much more predictable than that, though. I liked the term "internet of beefs" for that.

I do like the idea of recognizing that people are human, and not just political abstractions. But, I can also understand how natural the 'internet of beefs' stuff makes political abstractions the most convenient way of viewing people.

Jef Raskin's 1994 article Intuitive equals familiar remains worth reading.
Please excuse me for my semi-rant. I don't mean to be too critical, but I think framing every news about China in this "the West vs China" angle is really counterproductive.

First of all, "the West" is a very vague concept, quite unlike talking about China. Does it include all of Europe? Does it include Moscow then? Does it include parts of Latinamerica? Maybe you mean NATO (but then you should include Turkey too). Or maybe you only mean Five Eyes (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, United States). This isn't just nitpicking: your point might make sense if you mean Five Eyes, but it might not make sense at all if you include, say, Greece , Turkey and Israel.

Second, talking only about "the West" vs China marginalizes the rest of the world. Most of the people in this world live in neither the West nor in China and yet they never seem to matter according to most discussions I see here in Hacker News (I, for one, identify with neither).

This is specially bad when people implicitly say things like "the West values freedom and democracy, whereas China...". If democracy and human rights were something unique for "the West", then you shouldn't be surprised that China doesn't like those concepts (in fact, they oppose liberal value precisely because of this: "this only works in 西方, not here in China").

西方 = the West
You need evidence to support your claim that they are 'required' to hand over intellectual property. Joint ventures are formed based on terms and contracts, signing such contracts is a very silly move.

Also, the use of 'hand over' suggests they are all the way not willing to disclose the intellectual property but were forced to, but isn't there a patent system in China? Why would these companies refuse to disclose some intellectual property and make use the legal system, just as how they did it back home?
