Every day I open, edit and share legal contracts and other Word documents. They're usually up to about 120 pages long, with reasonably simply formatting. They usually have marked up changes from about 2 to a dozen people.

Every six months or so I check out OpenOffice/LibreOffice to see whether the documents I'm being sent survive the open/edit/save cycle.

Every time so far I end up with a document with widely differing formatting from the original.

So at least for me, LibreOffice isn't suitable for my usage patterns.

I imagine other people are the same.
> It's not a monopoly.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Postal_Service

Article I, section 8, Clause 7 of the United States Constitution grants Congress the power to establish post offices and post roads, which has been interpreted as a de facto Congressional monopoly over the delivery of mail. Accordingly, no other system for delivering mail – public or private – can be established, absent Congress's consent. Congress has delegated to the Postal Service the power to decide whether others may compete with it, and the Postal Service has allowed an exception to its monopoly for extremely urgent letters.

I really hope markdown is developed enough to take off, or someone develops something similar on firmer ground (since there's a lot of ambiguity in the definition). Whenever I use word or to a lesser extent mediawiki I feel like a lot of my effort is wasted in fiddling around just to get the formatting right. Sometimes this is bad enough to break my flow and significantly affect productivity.

Overall I feel as though the fiddling tax with markdown is only a small increment, maybe say 5 or 10% of total effort on average.
It's definitely not a case of avoiding boasting in my case - and not because I'm a modest person, but because I'm the exact opposite, and I would have absolutely no problem shouting from the rooftops about how awesome I am based on IQ tests if I felt that to be something worth boasting about.

The thing with IQ tests is that it measures a very specific type of skill, and to use that to define intelligence is insulting to an awful lot of people.

The two people who own my company, who I work for, don't have degrees, they're not particularly mathematically skilled, and I don't think they'd do particularly well on an IQ test - not saying they'd get a terrible score, but they wouldn't come of as mensa candidates. And yet they're too of the brightest people I know, they've done amazing things in their careers and I have a huge amount of respect for them.

My dad is another person with a not-great IQ, and yet in my (admitedly biased) view he's the cleverest person I know Whether it's when he's buying/selling stocks, or betting on horses, or working out taxes, he can do it all in his head at a crazy speed - not with any education, just because maths is easy for him. But that's not why I think he's clever. He's clever because of the way he's lived his life and the decisions he's made, many of which have made me insanely proud.

I on the other hand have a high IQ, I did well in school with no work (well, I dropped out at 16 because I was bored, by "did well" I mean stuff like the fact that I got an A* GCSE in French at 15 even though I can't, and couldn't then either, speak French). Sure, it can be useful to be able to float through in areas where that kind of intelligence is useful, but it sure ain't everything.

My point is that there's more to life than one very specific set of skills, and to think otherwise is narrowminded and big-headed. Not big-headed about having an IQ, but about thinking that your high IQ makes you better than someone with a lower IQ.
Having researched potential PoS systems for a local shop I can say there is a lot of room for improving the PoS products but I'm far from convinced it's actually lucrative to provide such solutions.

As rick888 is pointing out you will definitely need a solution that is forgiving towards system threats. The system needs to be functional in all sorts of conditions.

What is intelligence, anyway?

Many view genius as having a high IQ. I view it as extreme form of insight rather than a measure of IQ, although a high IQ helps. I like to think of genius in terms of perspective and thus measure it by how rare and valuable a perspective is.

Your level of insight/understanding will vary from one domain to another. A financial genius like Warren Buffet sees how the financial world connects in a way that few others do, but that insight/understanding doesn't necessarily mean he'll see the connections that an artist sees and yet you might say that both are genius.

How so? If your interaction with the cop wasn't recorded, even if you started out by saying "I choose to remain silent" and never said another word, the cop can easily testify that you said something. I don't see how it's "easier" to change an actual conversation than it is to completely fabricate one.
You're right about Excel. It is the corporate behemoth that may never be slayed.

I'm thinking of getting a Mac, but can the Mac version of Excel do keyboard shortcuts like on Windows? (E.g. "alt, o, h, r" to rename a sheet, or "alt, i, w" to insert a sheet). From my experience, it doesn't. Losing shortcuts would put a heavy drag on my productivity.

I am not a biologist and this definitely surprised me. I always thought that plants and trees were in a constant struggle to see who could grow the tallest and get more leaf surface area facing the sun to get the most resources. The fact that these trees aren't completely selfish is what surprises me.
> I don't see how it's "easier" to change an actual conversation than it is to completely fabricate one.

It's easier because, when you fabricate an entire conversation rather than one sentence, you have to make up more things.

That's the purely technical argument. There are also psychological considerations on the part of the officer, people are more likely to rationalize making up one little thing than making up an entire conversation.
I think something like this would have a huge impact on the conviction rate in Japan where a significant amount is based in coerced confessions. See BBC article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8290767.stm

But this reminds me of the malleability of memory and also herd-like mentality. I think it was on Tv or somewhere where the experiment involved flooding a room with participants with fake smoke but confederates were set to deny it was smoke. The effect was that the fake smoke was ignored. Had it been a real fire, they'd all have perished.
I came here to post this, so thanks for finding the link to share with everyone. I'm not usually a fan of crime-related TV documentaries, but this is one of the best episodes of Frontline I've seen, and was absolutely eye-opening for me. I highly recommend watching it!
> If enough of them do so--and especially if the cooperators can somehow quickly find one another--cooperation would soon become the better strategy. To use the jargon of evolutionary biologists who think about such things, it would drive noncooperation into extinction.

I don't think this works. Although co-operating works great for the majority, that just means it allows a few to 'cheat' and get the biggest payoffs.

I actually "invented" this idea back in 2008 ( here's my post: http://www.onedayonejob.com/blog/use-facebook-ads-to-make-em... ). A lot of people have come up with it independently since. Because it's done before, it's not nearly as interesting as when people were first doing it, but it's great if you want to get into online advertising or marketing--shows your skills.

If you're having trouble getting on people's radar, it's worth a try, but it's probably not your best bet.

I wasn't impressed with the original article. It didn't attempt to define intelligence at all. If it tried to make the point that the social perception of intelligence is only for economic convenience, I found this short comment more insightful: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2884857. If it is about how academics overrate their intelligence and are therefore reluctant to get out of their comfort zone, the point wasn't very well made (http://www.theamericanscholar.org/the-disadvantages-of-an-el... is a detailed treatment). And if it is about telling a story, I find yours much more inspiring.

True enough. Much like how LulzSec's government targets were rural police forces and the like, with little in the way of security considerations.
This is a silly dichotomy. A craftsman's skill lies in using his tools, so tool choice is important. it's important for a chef to have a high quality knife that they feel comfortable using, but a high quality knife will no more make a person a good chef than a good text editor, build and language tools, etc. will make someone a good programmer. But good programmers, like good chefs or good writers, will nevertheless spend a goodly amount of money and effort ensuring they have the highest quality tools they feel they need.

This is much more helpful than I could have imagined. The writing is concise with solid, insightful examples. I read a few introductory Python texts before (Learn Python the Hard Way etc) that are really a waste of time if you understand programming concepts.

I agree. I was never even encouraged to do so. I'd still continue my avid coffee drinking habit.
I think the two prior comments about having a robust system with 100% uptime are on the money. It definitely can't be laggy, either.

I'd suggest the following reality check. Set up a "head to head" test vs. a cash register. Give someone basic training, and have them run through a list of transactions. Is your app as snappy and responsive as the hardware of the cash register? How does it compare to the cost of a cash register? I'd suggest doing this competitive analysis of the cost and performance before going any further.
So what are you arguing against then? All we're saying is that Scrivener is a good tool.

Sure, you could use coffee strategically. But what do you have to give up to do it? [Decaf isn't really an option, whatever the author says at the end of the post].

I think there'd have to be a serious health negative to maintaining my coffee addiction before I feel it'd be worth skipping my morning latte.

Oh, and a sugar hit can have a very similar effect in my opinion.
I'd be happy to look into trying it out for a retail store of general merchandise, like a local grocery store.

The only issue is some kind of guaranteed connectivity on one hand or just good uptime and is it a real time database or is it using push changes from the client?

Would need 2.
When I worked in the retail point of sale industry back in the eighties, one of the Japanese cash register/electronic scales vendors (might have been Omron, it's a long time ago) used a language they called "Fifth" which seemed to give them a software development productivity advantage. Probably a case of overlapping names for different products, since "Fifth" is such an obvious name for a "Forth" variant.
This will be harsh. I don't sugar-coat.

The assumption is that as a design firm, your website should advertise the designs you would make. And yet none of the rotating backgrounds you have are anything I would like to see on any site except Flickr. Neither do they maintain a consistent theme, since one is, confusingly enough, a bunch of circles, and one is clearly not a photo given how it tapers off on the left and right.

Furthermore, on many of the backgrounds you choose, the bottom bar is unreadable --- it doesn't even half-ass it by making it opaque and white when you mouse over. Presumably you'd at least choose the backgrounds well.

The backgrounds also mean that the site takes a while to load (and this is with great internet), so the site looks bad for two or three seconds.

The focal point of the site is presumably the subscribe button and entry field. Yet these are gray and, worse, the subscribe button doesn't even match height with the entry field, which looks amateurish and ugly. I'm on Chrome 14 on Arch Linux.

The backgrounds have a light grid overlaid upon them. This might make sense for some of the backgrounds, but is silly for the circles one, and at the very least looks like you're going for flair with no reason. Again, amateurish.

I'm not sure the blue you use for the percent complete bar matches any of the backgrounds.

The facebook and google+ buttons do nothing (but maybe you know that).

Sorry to be harsh, again.
wow, that's awesome. I hadn't realized they had made upload date writable! This has some interesting possibilities. It is somewhat too bad that changing it will wipe out the original photo upload date, though - for photos which don't have the date taken in the exif, there will be no time history of the photo left.

On a related note to the article, I agree with the author that the web is filled with information exchanges that is one reason why the web can end up being anti-ideas.

However, what I love about Hacker News, is that it is one of the few such exchanges that I know of that seems to have a health balance between information and big ideas. Hope it stays this way.

From Wikipedia[1]: Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 of the United States Constitution, known as the Postal Clause or the Postal Power, empowers Congress "To establish Post Offices and post Roads".

Without this clause, Congress would not have the authority to establish Post Offices. But note the clause does not say anything about making postal service an exclusive government function. In fact the clause does not even mandate that Congress establish Post Offices, Congress merely has the power to do so. If Congress shuts down the Post Office, it would be perfectly Constitutional. The clause is definitely not a "reason for subsidizing rural mail delivery" anymore than Congress's power to Declare War is a reason to have a war.

You want to take investment, you want to invoice a megacorps, you want to employ someone, you operate in a business with substantial risk, or you are told to by your lawyer or accountant.

Five years later I'm still a sole proprietorship with a DBA. Aside from making certain declarations to Immigration excessively complicated, there's no major downside to it for me. (You can put pretty much whatever you please on a business card.)
If you're extra paranoid just print out a card that says "as a policy I do not speak to the police except through a lawyer". Then you can present it to the police as necessary and use it as evidence if they attempt to claim you confessed something to them without a lawyer present.

Ok Thanks, I will fix it.
Hmm, but how do you define getting ahead? People with a high IQ will get ahead on stuff that works like IQ tests do, like getting a degree or passing highly selective interviews. Especially interview questions in the finance sector are probably much easier with a better IQ. But that is only because it is easy to make things work like IQ tests.

The people that seem to get ahead in society are those with excellent social skills instead. I'd gladly trade a dozen mathy IQ points for eloquence alone. Oh well, no political career for me.

And on the "honest work" side of things, people with persistence, a healthy lifestyle and passion for what they do seem to be the most productive. (Some people are also productive because they are obsessive, let's leave those out.) How do IQ tests with their super-clean mini puzzles measure any of those?
You may be the same person who mentioned on twitter about this.
