I'd be curious to know what your experience is that leads you to this opinion.

A more charitable explanation would be that game changing discoveries are by their nature rare, and even when they do arrive, they only outline a new space for exploration, which means that by definition, most research is going to be filling the gaps in that new space, both for positive results, and the depressingly large chunk of work that is discovering what doesn't work. The results of this negative outcome often look the same.
Here's the thing, everyone arguing against this tax is arguing for preserving the status quo as well. This pandemic has changed our situation, on every level from global to local. It's foolish to pretend it hasn't.

I would gladly contribute a larger share of my income as taxes to ensure my community doesn't suffer, provided it was distributed equitably (which is a whole other complicated discussion.)
Because it's anti-competitive dumping. The dirty secret of SV is that it's an enormous dumping scheme: burn billions of dollars of money to offer 'free' or goods and services, gain a dominant position in the market by driving the honestly priced competition into the ground, then jack up the prices and fleece the customers. Uber is the poster boy of this strategy, but it's not the only one.

The honest approach would be to either grandfather existing customers at the promised price point ($0) possibly at a loss, or shut it down and offer a one-click migrate-my-data button and empower customers to shop around for the price / quality tradeoff they are willing to pay for. Of course, that will never happen, because antitrust in this country is toothless, paid for by the exact same corporations that engage in anti-competitive behavior.
Page load, painting, uploading, everything. It's all very very slow. I use Notion very heavily at work, and until March of this year personally. In early 2020 I switched to Roam and I can't go back now. Roam is so amazingly fast it's like they're cheating or something. I wish every app would adopt the way Roam does it. Load everything up front.

But, everything is slow these days. Aside from Roam, HN and maybe a handful of native iOS apps, I can't really name any app/site that I use on daily basis that isn't painfully slow.
It's too hackish, system dependent, and not feature complete yet. I plan to run it as a flask app on the local network as a more intuitive way of tagging and managing bookmarks... lot more to do.
Well that's very different and not comparable to Notion because Notion is first for documentation and only secondly for project management
Proposition 15, California’s sweeping property tax reform, defeated
This is neat, but it seems like it's missing a few things. For one, how do you do migrations? Do I need to include every migration in my application bundle in perpetuity, running them in the client on startup? There doesn't seem to be a mechanism to help with downloading, migrating, and reuploading data. That doesn't feel so nice.

More pertinent, though, how do I ensure my users aren't abusing my service? If I allow folks to upload avatars for folks in their address book, how can I stop someone from running up my bill by uploading their MP3 collection? As far as I can tell, if everything is encrypted, I just have some very active users. Obviously there's some amount of tradeoff here, but it would seem like a necessary counterbalance is strong quota controls, which I don't see in the docs.
We used a Summer Infant video monitor for a while, but eventually the receiver broke.

Then we used a Yi Dome camera for a while, but it craps out of a few seconds occasionally and when it does the app mutes the feed when it resumes, making it useless at being a baby monitor. Also, privacy concerns since you had to access it via the internet.

We ended up going with a generic IP camera - Amcrest's 1080p wifi camera, to be specific (would have to go look up the model number if people want to know EDIT: IP2M-841B). You can change just about anything about the settings you could want to (such as adding a timestamp so you can verify it hasn't crashed), including disabling access from the internet so you can only access the monitor from the LAN. It's been rock solid for ages - there is a setting that will reboot the camera once a week, but you can set the time, so I set mine to reboot about an hour after the kids normally get up so it never bothers us.

We just have the feed pulled up on an Amazon Fire HD8 tablet that we got for $60, lets us get a 1080p video stream with an ONVIF-capable camera. The Amcrest app isn't terrible either, only downside is that there's an option for 1, 4, 9, or 16 cameras - but I only have 2, so I have to waste half my screen (and the app will only play audio from one stream at a time). And if you don't want to use their app, once it is set up and connected to the network (which you probably don't even need the app for if you are hardwiring with ethernet) you can connect to it via IP address with any RTSP/ONVIF app or even via VLC, or once the firmware is upgraded you can view the stream in the browser.

It has motion sensor capabilities but I haven't experimented with them.
Being confronted about white male privilege isn't a problem. It's not about whether your son whipped slaves, the question is about does your son support the status quo which was created by whipping slaves? The status quo that favors white men? Women and particularly black women and women of color face problems that are much more significant. One being how medicine is worse quality for women than men or how medical outcomes for black people are worse than whites.
I find that the process of creating and curating the cards is as much (if not more) important than the cards themselves. My practice with anki then has some ''meat' to hang my memory off.

Well in addition to all that Data Science stuff I have become quite knowledgeable about several related fields. At least these topics come to mind:

- Data Engineering: various DB technologies' pros and cons (AWS Athena, Snowflake, MS Sql Server, Elasticsearch, Redis), Airflow, AWS S3

- ML Engineering: AWS autoscaling clusters, EC2, Spark cluster set-up & management, IO/CPU bottle neck identification, optimizing workloads (like how large chunks, how many Spark worker processes, how many threads on Python's libraries, ...)

- Umm Web Engineering?: HTTP API design, load balancing, Docker & Kubernetes, partial results caching for real-time responses

I have understood that on larger organizations each of these could have a dedicated team behind it. Anyway I've been lucky to find this company & role and gotten an opportunitu to learn and apply so many technologies, but I must admit it is getting a bit tricky to keep (shall I say pickle) all that in my brain :D

I wonder how hard it would be to port the server-side code of FoundationDB to one of these devices; architecturally FDB seems well suidted to this (at least until predicates show up) as it is already extremely constrained as to the expectations on the storage nodes; they basically provide just (time-bounded) versioned KV access.
The majority of breaks are due to the checker getting better. So code that passed now errors. Most of the time pre-existing published DTS files still operate fine.
I can’t tell if this is just hyperbole, but if an account is inactive and unpaid for 2 years, I don’t see why they’d be expected to just sit on that data forever.

I can’t imagine being 5-10 years behind on things that “need attending to”. What is a definition of “thing that needs attending to” that can sustain a 5-10 year delay?
Possibly, but given its google I wouldn’t assume it’s more (or less) respecting of user privacy just because it costs something.

For the business products there may be strong business rationale behind it (it would categorically rule out too many applications), but for a consumer product I doubt that they don’t try making money both ways.

I think it highlights a distinction between Apple's past work and their recent work.

Google forked Blink because for whatever reason they were unsatisfied with the state of Webkit -- nominally because they wanted to take a different approach to multi-process, but there may have been other technological and project direction/pace disagreements. Since then, a number of browsers have switched from Webkit to Blink/Chromium as their engine, and arguably Safari is falling behind on new features and overall quality (weird quirks that require web devs to work around).
> Do you actually use that? Maybe it's just because I have few photos

I use it all the time.

I wanted to recommend to a friend a restaurant I'd visited in San Diego, I couldn't remember the name of it but I knew I'd taken a picture of the food there.

"Food San Diego" and all my food pictures from my trip to San Diego pop up. Tap more info, boom, map appears with the restaurant name on it.

If I wanted to remember what year I went to San Diego, well, I'd either search in Google Photos, or in my timeline on Google Maps. (which is another way to find the name of the restaurant!)
Hm. Inevitably that would raise the center of mass, right? The Tesla battery is currently the floor of the vehicle I think. Now it'll be threaded through the body, which brings weight upward. It'll have to be done carefully, to keep it handling well.

> The military sends troops into harm's way with 180 rounds of ammunition for rifles, and 45 rounds of ammunition for handguns. That's it.

I am reminded of the apocryphal tale:

> Shortly before World War I, the German Kaiser was the guest of the Swiss government to observe military maneuvers. The Kaiser asked a Swiss militiaman: 'You are 500,000 and you shoot well, but if we attack with 1,000,000 men what will you do?' The soldier replied: 'We will shoot twice and go home.'

Having a stock of ammo is sometimes more about making it through droughts of ammo availability and still being about to out and train/practice regularly. Supposedly over the last few months there's been limited ammo availability?

> And even if you work a shitty gas station job opportunities you can learn the gas station business, impress the owner, and get them to invest in opening your own. Or you can learn a trade in your spare time.

You most likely will be used to the extreme and thrown away. Lot of places don't care about who is working in low paid skilled jobs. They are as replaceable as ever. Amazon warehouses have machines doing the firing. Soon it will be your gas station. The machine doesn't get impressed unless you break your back.

And conflating poor people with being shit heads is interesting.

No wonder many worker class people feel the ire to hate big tech and workers increasingly.
what do you use on ios in your workflow?
I currently extract bookmarks from Firefox and Safari and store them inside a local database. Then a cronjob saves them to Wayback machine if a prior check revealed that they are currently not.. donating regularly for that. Mine just makes sure that the pages are not lost, but yours enables offline reading.

I'm uncertain what the best mechanism is, there are so many ways to solve it. From filtering to recrawling for new content to enabling more advanced features, there are so many possibilities.
I'm not sure videos were unlimited on google either though. So I'm not sure you're losing a feature there.
> I am not 100% sure about this, I wish it were so.

Well, not everyone, but there's growing knowledge about it, and popular media podcasts that do whole episodes on it, etc.

> I will probably start seeing/finding bad products, so it may be that in a long period of time, I will start looking for alternatives other than Amazon and may attribute the image of "not high quality products" to Amazon as an e-commerce.

I think that depends on whether the ratings are for product quality or product accuracy/authenticness/amazon fulfillment issues.

> they actually have some long-term interest in allowing some fake(good) reviews and eliminating some real bad ones.

I think the important part of that is some. While it may be in Amazon's interest to manipulate the reviews to some degree, it's definitely not in their best interest to let people know or assume they or anyone else is doing so.

I see the second of these as a downright negative and the third as problematic (I'm in favor of material rewards, but also in favor of a basic income). Talent concentration is good, but in boom times sometimes seems to get a bit too monocultural.
They've raised $68.2m they no longer have the option to make a really great product that follows the unix philosophy. They have to do anything they can to attract enterprise customers which is where the real investment-justifying money will be, and for the most part that means having an infinite list of features at a competitive price.

Granted, for selling out to VC they've still done a good job with design and product. But they have one path through their self-imposed blizzard and the footprints leading the way are clearly marked "Evernote".
Self-answering to some degree, it looks like WKWebView on macos is similar to safari but may be behind on version number (presumably updated only when the OS is updated) and thus slower.

You can also embed an actual safari view, but it doesn't let your control things, so it'd have to be more strictly a "dumb shell": https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=trjs0tcd

Of course, I'm not sure how either compares to electron, and I'm sure it depends on the app.

Also, the first letters of "unfixed security" are "U.S." which could be another hint.

"are there counter examples?"

Solar, although to be fair I'm looking at "is financially worth producing" as I'm sure they technically could be mass-produced in the 1960s if they could somehow find a buyer.
Yes, and I believe a lot of startup advice is to do one thing well (serving a specific market) before trying to branch out. Or are you saying they're trying to throws things at a wall to see what sticks with enterprise customers?

The point the OP was trying to make I believe, is not that it should do all of that, but that if it doesn't do that a different name to observability should be chosen such as monitoring.

That's true for any locked down device. An iPhone can do everything it is designed to do yet it could also do so much more if it weren't locked down.
> The disabled account thing is pretty common

Not really, it's mostly frequency illusion hanging out on HN, but considering Google has multi-billion users, those dozen or so incidents are nothing in comparison.

> free unlimited Google Photos

That's a feature, not a service. And name me one other company that provides unlimited free storage.

> Google Play Music

Technically migrated, all your data and purchases are still there

> Nest Secure

Hardware is a completely different ball game. The existing users can still keep using their hardware just fine. Every single device eventually stops being sold.

> Google Photos Print

Again, a feature. You didn't lose any data. You can still print photos using other services.

> Google Audio Ads

Not familiar, but I see it's still around? Do you have a link to the announcement of it being killed?

Equating Notion to Unix - I don’t follow. In what sense? Unix philosophy is hardly relatable to Notion.

For one, I can’t stand their frivolous design - emojis everywhere.
I think that Trello is pretty fast on all platforms and notifications are sent instantaneously
A library that does half of the stuff that notion does and manages to create some sort of consistent markdown output would be amazing. Notion's UI is one of the few editors I enjoy more than simply writing markdown on vscode.

This is amazing work and I think the main thing I see missing is navigation.

Thank you for working on this.
Thanks. This is just a hard no immediately. Not only for the health of the child, but does ML have to be the solution for everything? I think a Rube Goldberg machine would be more reliable than this.
No they aren't. Normally you have battery cells (think AAs) -> battery pack -> vehicle trunk, and they're skipping the middle step. It's analogous to how planes have a "wing-shaped fuel tank" (where the wings just have a cavity that you pour the fuel into), instead of storing fuel fluid containers that are separate to the plane.

What OP's link is describing, is where the battery cells literally are the vehicle trunk - as in they're built into the walls, instead of being contained between two walls.
Where my partner usually steps in is not safety, but time.

It is great if you're able to build some things yourself. But the kid and in particular your partner need your hands on deck, not on the workbench for days on, just to end up with an unfinished crib.
And there are so many other, more important things to do that cannot be outsourced that easily.

And once the first kid is in the house, expect interruptions. Oh, kid has a "mild reaction" to a certain vaccination? Forget sleep, forget "stuff that needs to be done", survive while keeping the basics in order.
And with more than one kid expect to be on call for every minute you are home. Nothing can go by uninterrupted if you have small kid and a toddler and only four hands.

I envy everyone that has a different experience. Grandparents/relatives help a lot. COVID-19 does not.

Projects suddenly need to be small or non-critical.
Yeah, as I said in my main comment, there are still things that need to be done. One of them is strong quotas. We plan on having it in the near future (we are also running a service, EteSync, using Etebase) though I think it's not an issue that should prevent you from getting started. :)

As for migrations: that's a tough one, and we indeed don't have an easy-to-use mechanism yet. I mentioned it in another comment: the API at the moment is powerful and used in production, but it's still missing some goodies to make the developer experience even better.

As for including every migration in your application bundle: yeah, well until you consider an old version EOL. It's the same challenge Microsoft has with Office, and every app has with their local storage.
TikTok maybe ;)
That's hardly surprising. You have a high-speed frontal collision, a fuel line gets ruptured and high-pressure gasoline comes squirting out onto a hot engine (bonus points if it hits the exhaust manifold) with plenty of airflow. Under those circumstances a fire is far from unlikely.

But that wasn't what OP was talking about.
The problem for me is that by changing what I'm not looking at, it draws me to look at what was taken away. We are drawn to look at movement. It may be better to leave the not-relevant stuff alone, and instead highlight what the user is currently hovering over. Something as simpler as making the relevant text bold, increasing the thickness of the lines, and maybe making the text box a darker shade may help.
