Maker here, great to be on HN!

There's an abundance of note-taking / productivity apps and we've tried many of them before building acreom. Yet, we've had a difficult time sticking with them, mainly for 2 reasons:

1. The "all-in-one" interfaces are bloated with user-facing features in form of buttons, dropdowns etc. which makes them painful to use. Generally, these tools focus on organisation-first, capturing-second which also wasn't natural to our workflow.

2. Use-case-wise, the space is mostly fragmented. Some tools focus on note-taking, others on task management and few are all-in-one workspaces.

Like many others, we resorted to using simple tools like apple notes or even pen&paper with calendar. But why isn't there just 1 easy to use tool for our workflow?

This leads to our approach. acreom combines knowledge base with task management in 1 simple and functional interface.

Instead of building features which are user-facing, acreom's aim is to offload much of the organisational hassle from the user with text-to-data conversion - NLP.

Thus, the fundamental building principles of acreom are:
1. text-to-data conversion
2. capture-first, organise-later
3. private with no vendor-lock-in (export your data anytime, local storage & encryption coming out with our desktop app in the upcoming weeks)

Interesting longform article from Bloomberg detailing a children's weight-loss camp in the New York Catskills and the intra-family struggle over how it operated and expanded.

Holistic overview of the benefits and perils of summer sleepaway camps and highlights the toxic and complicated relationship dynamics that undermined the family's business success (among other issues) and their ability to find reconciliation.

> What the M1 gives you is an incredibly powerful processor that's also very power efficient.

While true, the benchmarks show that recent AMD CPUs have comparable power efficiency, even on single-core loads.

And it might be that a significant part of M1's advantage lives in some (proprietary) scheduling software, so the Asahi Linux effort might not reach the same numbers even with a few years of work.

But then again, some companies just standardize on Apple hardware for their employees, so this can at least allow people to run GNU/Linux in those situations. Someday.

We are creating a global payment network on blockchain.

The existing legacy payments infrastructure that connects banks, merchants and consumers is outdated and not ready for a future where humans and AIs are going to exchange value in decentralized ways, using a variety of different credit products and currencies.

First, we set out to fix the broken Brazilian payments ecosystem by providing extremely low fees in a highly concentrated and unjust market.
Now we are going global, creating ways to process credit card, mobile wallet payments and lending in real time using smart contracts for issuing, authorization, and settlement of financial products.

Our mission is complex and we are looking for ambitious and talented people to help us shape the future of payments and global financial networks, while providing privacy and first-class security for consumers, merchants, credit issuers, bank members.

We are hiring for multiple positions, including:

* Senior Software Engineer - Backend

* Senior Software Engineer - Frontend

* Senior Software Engineer - Mobile

* Software Engineer - Risk

* Data Scientist - Risk

The first response to my comment (by lvass) insists, with apparent seriousness, that it is literally true. I think it is not superfluous to mention it isn't.

Also, how does it work as a metaphor? What are the metaphorical "infections" that "sunlight" defeats? Conspiracies? Fake news? There has never been more information available, and there also has never been more conspiracies and stupid theories about everything.

So, also as a metaphor, sunlight is not a disinfectant.
I think it always was a "my team" thing. It is just that the "conservative team" of the past had "anti-authoritarianism" as one of the team virtues, even if it was hypocritical at times. There is a still a vague notion of freedom, but there is not an intellectual anchor for what that means relative to other objectives, like some Buckley-esque defense of free-enterprise vs the USSR.

I’m not arguing the social safety net is bad, but the issue is, it ends up creating weird incentives.

For example, no successful business owner on earth who isn’t already there, would ever choose to re-locate to the nordics. That’s not great.

Also, by creating a low risk environment, instead of freeing people to take more career risks, it ironically trains people to take even less risk. This results in reduced variance in outcomes. A generally homogenous, no growth country.

No matter if you think FAANG is evil, they’re going to continue dominating European lives unless you have talent and capital taking risk to innovate alternatives, and build your vision of a better world.

Unfortunately, in shrinking the possible variance in outcomes, the nordics become the best place on earth to be below-average, with exceptional success due to risk taking being penalized. It’s like begging your best talent to leave. Not everybody will, but some do.

So you have no top talent immigrating, and some top talent leaving every year. Over time you can see how that’s a dangerous trend.

Cars in Norway have always been very expensive, so for Norwegians $40-50k is just what a new entry level car costs. Compared what else you can buy for $50k, the Model Y is bit of a bargain. An 'equivalent' gasoline powered Audi/BMW etc. would cost in excess of $100k.

> “The point of a library is to preserve, and in order to preserve, a library must own,” Bustillos wrote. When I asked Potash about libraries and their growing digital budgets, he argued that “digital will always be better value,” but he acknowledged that, if current trends continue, “Yes, there is a challenge.”

I'm of two minds about this, because on one hand seeing public libraries give up control and move toward a subscribed model feels wrong, shortsighted, lazy, and a bunch of other bad things. But on the other hand the primary purpose of a public library is not to preserve materials, it's to provide access to them.

These electronic subscription services sure are a handy way to provide access to the most requested materials, so in the short term they're a great option.

But they're a deal with the devil. It's not hard to predict the future here: libraries will become more and more dependent on the subscriptions, which will go up and up in price. Eventually the public library system becomes an inefficient way to redistribute taxes to publishers and distributors.

That's different from today, when, due to the special status libraries have with respect to physical media, they're actually pretty inefficient from the publisher's perspective, but great from the reader's.

The "challenge" will be to get those same protections in place for digital resources before it's too late.

"Everybody already knows about this, you have no reason to be upset" is a common industry refrain when people get caught doing something they know there is a public outcry against.

Whether or not you know about a given thing is irrelevant, it's not a contest.

A lot of people don't, and articles to explain it to them are a good thing.

Things like this are really invasive, and not appropriate – just because they've been happening for a while doesn't make it more OK, it's just means they've been getting away with it.

That’s really quite low given that this is the total output including input from the rider.

Also, this type of bike will not operate at all if the electronics malfunction. As the proud owner of an ebike that regularly glitches and can neither assist nor shift (!) when glitchy, losing power entirely would be even more annoying.

Sure, it supposedly is, but there is also evidence saying it's bad. [1]

Based on my experience working with Australians - I have to agree. It was quite the adjustment to talk to people who wholly seemed not have a problem with lacking fundamental rights and freedoms. "For the greater good!"

It's easy to see why they all have Stockholm Syndrome in relation to the absolute draconian lockdowns.

The issue is always - by the time they get around to YOU it's too late to complain that the law doesn't protect individual rights.
The points about choosing index funds and putting 100% in stocks are good tips for most people (at least those who are financially secure enough to know they won't be force to sell during a downturn).

But the particulars about living on 18K in Seattle and starting retirement after only 3-5 years of making six figures are probably not generalizable unless you retire to a very cheap foreign country or live with your parents.
This is getting off topic. Foreign intelligence is just one party. I was also thinking of every fake review on Amazon or products endorsed by shills on reddit. These problems all stem from anonymity.
If road use taxes on EV's like Indiana's were legitimate then they would be applying them equally to all vehicles and either lowering the fuel excise in response or keeping it there as a carbon tax but since they apply only to EV's they are almost certainly the result of legislators bowing to their fossil fuel lobby donors.
Crystal seems very interesting, but how is the ecosystem like? How hard/easy is it to find libraries?

Also, it seems like a very small team behind the language. Is longevity an issue?
From a previous discussion:

One very interesting piece of tech coming from podman, is toolbox (https://github.com/containers/toolbox). Basically throwaway (or keeparound) rootless containers with their own root directory but shared HOME. Install hundreds of dev-dependencies to build this one piece of software? Yeah, not gonna install those packages permanently. Spin up a toolbox, build it, install it in my home/.local.

You have root in the container without having root in the host system. That takes care of a lot of issues as well.

I basically no longer have development packages installed and run some applications with lots of dependencies out of toolboxes.

> Do vaccine mandates violate civil liberties? Some who have refused vaccination claim as much.

Even this very first paragraph is disingenious. Yes, some who have refused vaccination claim as much. And also some people who haven't refused vaccination. There's no reason for this second sentence other then to imply that only people who have refused vaccination claim that vaccine mandates violate civil liberties. But I've heard many people say that they got vaccinated, they think everyone should be vaccinated, but they don't want people to be forced to.

Libby also works with many other libraries around the world and a bunch of them allow signing up for an account online.

For example, Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism has a nice collection and they only require an Emirates ID which is not too hard to get for visitors. The same is true for other public libraries in the UK. It's probably a good idea to sign up for library memberships wherever you travel!
When I go to Finland I want to understand and be understood. When I go to Spain I want to understand and be understood. When I go to - any of the 100+ other countries in the world (most with more than one language) - the same, I want to understand and be understood. If this was just about Finland I would learn their language (or just not go there in my lifetime), but this is about the 3000 other languages spoken in the world as well, and nobody has time to learn them all.

If I want to read I'll go to my local library and request a book. Unless you mean streets signs - but there again not enough time.

Besides the incentives, I think a lot have realized that fossil fueled cars cannot be part of our future.

A lot of Norwegians can charge at home, and with the range of the new generation of EV's the main obstacle has been passed[1].

This makes buying an ICE car a risky prospect, given that future CO2 taxes and such can make gas prices much higher, driving down the resale value.

We live in the city and have a BWM i3, and there's zero chance our next vehicle will be anything but a pure EV.

Some stars will last a really long time too. If the Sun gets too old, Proxima Centauri will supposedly last for over a trillion years and is within <5 light years distance. It could be reached using nuclear propulsion (e.g. Project Orion or staged nuclear-thermal) within a human life span.

The universe might be concluding its star-forming era but will be capable of sustaining complex life for trillions upon trillions of years. After that we don't know what really happens. Heat death is the depressing but most widely accepted outcome.
