Man I have been a Remarkable user since the initial crowdfunding, but I feel like they are about to throw it.

Many of these features were free up until now. Yes, we get grandfathered in, for now, but you gotta agree to a new TOS which I am sure makes this a time limited offer if they so choose.

These niche devices need their community, people who are not only taking a lot of notes, drawing a ton or annotating many pdfs, but are willing to invest in this particular platform.

These people you probably want on your side as a company. And yet, look at this lackluster announcement.

Who is to read this and come away with a positive opinion? Current users don’t gain anything that wasn’t already free or announced. They just face the danger of eventually having to pay for what they thought was free.
And new users? 8 bucks for yet another cloud storage and little else.

I mean, I appreciate that we now teach revelation principle and two part tariffs in intro econ and mba classes, but you can also blow it in other ways, exhibit A: this announcement.
Oh, but everything I know about learning mathematics tells me that doing problems, on paper, is key. That means writing them out. I'm sorry you think you're not a good hand writer, may I recommend Write Now: The Getty‑Dubay Program for Handwriting? You're probably not bad at it, but could use a little refinement. It really helped me improve and speed up my handwriting.

Cygwin's X server works great for me. There was another one that had better OpenGL support but I can't remember the name.
Exciting that they're using it as a platform to develop other vaccines.

But I still maintain the official names are ridiculous. “Vaxzevria” is the trademark used by AstraZeneca in the EU. (As you say, not ChAdOx1.) And yes, the general population end up seeing Vaxzevria, on their vaccine information forms, and online at https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/human/EPAR/vaxzevria-...

I don't disagree; just like there are no true capitalist countries. However there is a degree in which you lean one way or the other and it may vary depending on industry. For instance the Health care in the United States mentioned earlier in this thread is thought to be capitalist - but it is so heavily regulated in certain ways that it is probably leaning more towards a Marxist creation.
If I may ask, where did these come from? Some correlations are obvious but did you use OSINT tools or info posted by actor on social media?
My Fighting History
> Almost all students cite getting a better job as a primary reason for attending college.

You're asking a bunch of teenagers about their life plans, or a bunch of 20-somethings to talk about something they put more energy into than they've ever put into anything in their entire short lives. Every adult in the room should realize that it's 80% bullshit rationalization.

What I've learned through many hobbies and non-academic classes across many disciplines is that there's a kernel of truth to the Kung Fu movie story arc. The instructor tells you what you need to hear right now, not the objective truth. Sometimes it's carrot, other times it's just keeping you from injury. You 'level up' every time the story changes, and you graduate when you see the training wheels and take them off. This 'rule' is just a guideline and you can break it in these situations.

What kids need to hear is that a few more years of hard work now will get them an easier life later on. They hear 'career' but college gets most of us out of whatever little bubble our parents and neighborhoods put us in. You are not in a little pond anymore and it doesn't matter how big of a fish you thought you were. It softens the blow when you graduate and discover the ocean.

If we didn't learn to build bridges in high school, we learned to build them in college. All of these things do help you in life, including your career, but typically it's indirectly. But you try telling a 16 year old who has just started looking at college pamphlets this and many just think it's more parental lecturing radio gaga.

What they believe is the bait. And hopefully by the time they see it for what it is, it's no big deal because they've got other motivations instead.
Yeah -- it's the dependency that's the diagnostic criteria, not the daily drink.
Related note: the famous "we value our users" means "we increase the lifetime value of our users" and that's not a snarky speculation.
How so? There isn’t much paperwork and you will save on taxes.
I think it's important to ignore the commercial part of the Internet when discussing this, sure, back in olden days, commercial sites interlinked a lot more than they do now, but they had to, now they don't.

There's something satisfying in browsing some site, and following a link to the next.. That's really what I think of as "exploring". Exploring only works when you link to your friends sites (and when your friends has sites you can link to) and they link back..
The interlinking has probably weakened somewhat, I don't know why, but I suspect it to be partly because we've gotten so used to link rot, and nobody wants to have a site full of dead links..

That said, I still link to others.
And I must shamlessly plug https://geekring.net/ as a tool for exploring (though, it's only about a hundred pages), you could add yours! :)
>It's not so much high schooler choice or HR's inability to properly assess candidates (although that is also a factor). It's the emotional and material "stock" put into degrees by degree holders that guarantees that this system will remain in place

I think this might be saying the same thing but you did it more clearly. I’m saying people can’t objectively articulate why one choice is more valuable than the other largely because they are making emotional decisions and not rational, objective ones. Unless of course the rationale is “this is the way the game is played, regardless if it makes objective sense.” The irony, as you point out, is that just entrenches a silly system

Interesting book suggestion, I’ll check it out.
Cool! My dad worked on this in the 80s. Like the web but much more centralized. Not that the web is decentralized much these days though...
When I was first using the web, it was largely via Yahoo! directory [1] results. Most of the interesting sites were people's personal sites (with lots of URLs like something.edu/~user), and most people maintained a list of links to other sites they found interesting -- chances are if you liked their site, you'd like most of the ones they linked to as well.

Pretty much all that stuff is just gone now.

The closest thing I do like this today is probably Twitter: follow someone interesting, and you'll start discovering people/projects/sites/etc they find interesting. Similarly, HN/Reddit are maybe the closest thing to randomly browsing the "directory", but otherwise everything is via organic search results for a specific topic.

Hm, I would guess that it is the neonicotinoids pesticides. If I could point to my general recollection of the decline, I'd very vaguely point to that and when "roundup" became a thing.

It does seem to be even more global than that though. So global warming is probably the main culprit.

Look out the window next time you're in a jet. In america it seems like we have industrialized everything: food production, suburban housing, etc. The scale of our civilization is terrifying, and America is peanuts in terms of population (but NOT in terms of resource consumption per population, the far more important metric).

The fact is economists can't estimate the value of an ecosystem, habitat, or wilderness. It's just untapped money to them if it's torn down. If economics, which directs 95% of our policy, can't get their heads out of the asses and figure out how to properly account for the existential value of nature, we are doomed.

The fact that a pseudo-mathematical/pseudo-scientific area of study, one filled to the gills with venal denialist ultra-right-wing orthodoxy is the driving force of our future is not encouraging.

Economics is useful in the small and medium scales, and in very limited large scales, I'm not going to sit here and tell you price theory, supply/demand, and game theory are all bunk, but the political force that is "economics" is a key contributor to our dire situation.
Marriage is actually a great financial choice for most people. If marriage rates are dropping, I'd blame our culture — the financial incentives are clearly there.
Platform for Equity in Education
Avela helps to reach equity in education by empowering school districts to support parents, run enrollment lotteries, and make data-driven decisions.
> that is exactly what leads democracies to fall into authoritarian states.

What in fact leads to that, is states declaring certain views they oppose as "intolerant", and starting being intolerant to these views.
IS this the beginning of the end of modular PC's? Is the future SOC?
As the Internet grew, businesses built themselves around it. Metrics optimized websites for behaviors that aren't organic. You only check 5 to 6 sites because, either unintentionally or intentionally, for better or worse, they indulge you in ways that the old Internet did not.

Look for communities that are built around the humans in them, vs a single company. Web rings, Gemini, IRC are all great places to start.
Smokers, as they die young but not so young as to reduce the labor force, save money rather than cost money. Quite a bit of money, actually[1,2]. People will of course die anyway and treating them of whatever cancer or heart disease they get when they are older also has costs.

You can make arguments against smoking (it's not good to die prematurely of lung and heart disease) but these financial arguments aren't valid.

Much trust in these hashes we must have, no? Much more trust in the absence of catalogs of them that others have. I can't prove anything, nor do I try, but still it rests on my mind.

Avela - Platform for equity in education

Avela envisions a world where opportunities are more equitably and efficiently allocated, starting with education.

We give enrollment, admission, and award officers the tools to make equitable decisions and empower families. Governments and nonprofits also use our platform to allocate talent and resources fairly and effectively.

Our suite of products covers each stage of the admission or selection journey. Whether you are choosing students for your school, recipients for your scholarship, or fellows for your program, It ensures your selection committee makes informed, equitable decisions.

Our founding team includes a Nobel Laureate and a Clark Medalist. They showed that school districts see a 90% reduction in the number of dissatisfied families when using our approaches. This has real learning implications - their research at MIT showed that students who enrolled in their first choice school improved math achievement by 0.4 standard deviations.

Using Google's Public Nameservers 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 is presumably a similarly huge exposure too.
A South Korea paper from 2016 argues they are related "sometimes". Note that coronaviruses are RNA viruses.

Now, all the epi data we have indicates that the covid mRNA vaccines are effective against covid variants of concern. No need to panic.

"Original Antigenic Sin Response to RNA Viruses and Antiviral Immunity"

"Abstract: The human immune system has evolved to fight against foreign pathogens. It plays a central role in the body's defense mechanism. However, the immune memory geared to fight off a previously recognized pathogen, tends to remember an original form of the pathogen when a variant form subsequently invades. This has been termed 'original antigenic sin'. This adverse immunological effect can alter vaccine effectiveness and sometimes cause enhanced pathogenicity or additional inflammatory responses, according to the type of pathogen and the circumstances of infection. Here we aim to give a simplified conceptual understanding of virus infection and original antigenic sin by comparing and contrasting the two examples of recurring infections such as influenza and dengue viruses in humans."

You're leaving out that even though she asked her housekeeper to print out classified information (so you say, I'm not familiar with the story, but I'll take your word on it for this), she wasn't actively trying to undermine US security. She's just careless and ignorant of the ramifications of her actions.

I'm not defending Clinton or Assange. I think they should both be facing some sort of punishment for their actions. Neither is a saint.

Assange has a martyr complex that he's milking for support. Clinton is a megalomaniac that will say anything to get into power.

Neither are good people.
>Where would I even go to find other sites that might be of interest?

Hacker News?

Or Twitter, at least half of my feed consists of people who frequently share links to a variety of tech-related sites. Also many people have an interesting site linked in their bio. (If you prefer just your feed without Twitter's ads and suggestions try https://tweetdeck.twitter.com).
The name of that road is extraordinary appropriate, though, so I imagine under the right conditions it could trap and concentrate quite a lot of the aerosolized chemicals from the croplands it opens onto just south. While on the twisties through the namesake canyon you could have been blasted with several times the concentration found in the open air above the fields themselves.
I'm not sure why, but "non-prestigious" feels more "correct" to me. I know that those prefixes aren't identical in meaning though, so both could be words with slightly different meanings.
A theory I once read goes like this: in the past it was quite common for lawyers, directors, managers to marry their secretaries, which was the way for them to jump to higher social class. Now, a director making advances towards their secretary faces immediate sexual harassment lawsuit, so they choose to marry other managers/directors instead.
What is expensive about marriage? I’m trying to think of reasons. Taxes? It can be advantageous to stay single, but I wouldn’t say this is that big. Kids? Another mouth to feed and educate is wildly expensive, but I doubt this is what we’re talking about. Rent/buying a home? Cheaper to share a space I’d think. I think I’m missing something.
no me neither, it's very unclear and has been disputed for a long time,

I honestly do think link pages should make a comeback. Websites are really bad at linking to each other. It's like they are trying to trap their visitors or something and prevent them from leaving by having no exits, but no visitor likes to feel trapped like that.

It's fun to assemble link lists, it has a sort of scrapbooking quality to it, and as long as the links are of high quality, they can be very enjoyable to browse through as well. That's the benefits beyond the service they provide for the personal website ecosystem which is really struggling with serious discoverability issues.
I didn’t know this was a feature. No matter how many modifier keys I press with the File menu open, “Find” never changes to “Find by name”. (Searching the menu options through the Help menu does find the function, though.) Wonder why? (Edit: Never mind, BetterTouchTool was blocking it somehow!)

CF doesn't retain much if any data from 1.1.1.1 so at a minimum you are protected from retrospective surveillance. I agree it's impossible to be perfect but let that not be the enemy of good.
I actually married a hairstylist. It turns out, a lot about programming and cutting hair are similar. She has to understand the requirements and implement it exactly right, the first time. I also learned that bartering is alive and well in that world. People would trade all kinds of things for a haircut that they didn’t have to tell their spouse how much it cost: vacation rentals, private box concert tickets, sailing charters, etc. My wife worked in a high-end salon.
Odd thing to post on Hacker News -- a website dedicated to links to all different kinds of websites.
While the media has control, the media is not omniscient or equipped with the capacity to handle all and every story. As somebody married to a journalist I can tell you that the whole primary news business of a country with 90m inhabitants such as Germany is processed by less than 5000 journalists. If you consider that the primary way that news media receive their news is via news agencies which have maybe 1000 employees in Germany then it becomes a strange argument that it would be the media's fault to cover some random litigation.

The media isn't choosing most things in the sense that online news media don't have a plotting war room where they decide what gets published and what doesn't, but rather they observe the news feeds of the agencies and their competitors and pick from this what gets printed in their own page.

Even if you are right that a news site leadership will equip different departments with staff and prescribe length etc, it is much less a guided process.

Not publishing on Oculus/Luckey/Zenimax isn't in any moral ballpark anyway.
Honestly the manicurists marrying other manicurists makes me think that the data is bad.
Twilight Sleep
Uh, because they're stealing the purchasing power that I worked hard to obtain, and then using it to bail-out debtors without my consent.

Also, I don't really care what the price of a "general basket of goods and services" is (whatever that means). I care about the prices of the specific things that I want now or will want in the future.

Edit: And I would say my personal CPI seems to track money supply inflation pretty closely.
Well for starters, we used to call it "Surfing the Internet" not "exploring the internet".

The modern web was designed to rope you in and keep you there. Look up random stuff that interests you, not using a big name search engine. Then if you find a site on a webring, and look at connecting sites.
Yes if a "nonprofit publisher" made a tool to deal with something they found harmful, but then failed to deploy it because the harmful matter was so profitable (profitable in this usage doesn't always mean money. It can be any type of gain, such as user base, and stirring the pot to get users more active), I would say exactly the same thing I've been saying repeatedly here. Yes.

Being non-profit doesn't absolve one of purposely letting harmful content by, and/or actively promoting it.
Thanks for the tips, honestly.
