Note taking itself is an interesting thing but also a robust and usable 'my-archive.org' experience. That's where all notetaking solutions fail for me; I can take notes and organize info, but in 5 years, all of it will be lost or at least not in a usable form. I have tried a lot of apps, but nothing really works over time. Everything works for 'today'; that's nice, but deo volente I am around 10-20 years from now (as I am 20 years after 2000 when I also took notes which are worthless now because broken links, images, not searchable etc).
I think we must be talking at cross purposes, I didn't say anything about "stupid people", or forcing people to have any particular viewpoint.

You seem to be lost in a sea of relative opinion, and of all viewpoints being equally valid/stupid. That's far from always the case.

Again, by this logic, we should never address crime because by it's very nature a court case is trying to establish what are or are not real facts about a case in the face of conflicting opinion. Are we too stupid to have courts?

If not, then we're not too stupid to evaluate reality. That doesn't mean censorship. I'm not advocating censorship. I just don't think we're on such a foundation of sand as your comments assert.

Edit: I am rate limited so can’t respond below, but I wanted to say in response - I disagree that we don’t have the ability to say some things are counterfactual, and I also disagree that admitting this implies censorship or other authoritarian action is either good or necessary. I further disagree that communication is sufficient on its own when propagation of counterfactual information costs lives. Is there another solution? I don’t know, but I do think better education has to form part of it.

Does scientific knowledge “dictate facts”? It tells us some things are wrong, while leaving open the possibility of further learning.
If you are looking to actually sail, like ocean cross, I highly recommend getting the smallest boat that fits your other requirements. This is counter-intuitive, and a lot of information out there is from people who either want to sell boats or don't know what they're talking about. The reason why I recommend this is that a small boat is much safer, because they're much cheaper to rig well and have back systems for everything. I.e. the the difference between a 31' and 45' will not make one bit of difference to the sea, however the 31' will be like 4-8x cheaper to supply. Boat costs scale geometrically, not linearly.
Such things are investigated before they are released, that's the whole point. Thinking that some corporation sticks fish genes into tomatoes and then just gets to sow that wherever they want with no investigation whatsoever is frankly delusional.
The general assumption at first was that vaccinated people couldn't spread the virus which turned out to be false. We still vilify the unvaccinated when both are susceptible to transmission.
My deep dark secret is that I never take notes. Not for lack of trying, I just don't know how to do it. I never did it at school, never did it at work, never did it outside of work. I'm in my mid-thirties now, I just gave up on the concept.

Every time I see a post on HN about how somebody manages to organize their lives around a personal wiki or org-mode or whatever I get a bit jealous.

Most states in the US have indecent exposure laws. Some explicitly speak of breasts, others coyly cover them under "private parts".

Let me ask the question differently: Who would protect human rights?

Extrapolating from your examples it seems that only democracies (and the hypothetical benevolent dictator) grant individuals human rights. The question is: What comes first, democracy or human rights?
I don't know, but, if you want to actually remember stuff, handwritten notes are better than digital notes. Unless you need to write down a detailed set of instructions, handwriting will generally be the better way to go. See https://effectiviology.com/handwriting-vs-typing-how-to-take...
> The estimate for COVID-19 is that roughly 70% to 85% of the population will need to be vaccinated to reach the herd immunity threshold. USA is at about 63% fully vaccinated (76% had at least one dose).

In Australia we're over 93% double dosed. We're also in our worst outbreak with the most deaths. What is this "heard immunity threshold" meant to do?
What about a dual CPU Mac Pro?

Edit: thinking about this for a few more seconds, I realise this is a completely separate discussion, but I was just trying to think how Apple could accomplish the Quad branding even if internally its separate CPUs.
Let me SSH into a cluster and navigate the configuration database like a virtual filesystem. Make it feel more like a traditional operating system. That will make Kubernetes more approachable.
Ask HN: How do small companies do recruitment?
I am based in the UK and find it hard to find good developers/designers/product people. Although we advertise on our web site, unless people are looking quite specifically, they are unlikely to find the adverts (unlike FANGs which would attract candidates directly).

Also, Recruiters tend to be a poor and expensive solution. It is hard to tell the good from those who just claim to be good and we get a lot of noise from them. Also, I'm not sure that the best candidates just call a random recruiter to find them a job.

What are others doing to both find jobs and to recruit?
He does: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sven_Yrvind
That Wikipedia article seems like a stretch?

A white nationalist launched a webzine called “The Alternative Right”.

Then “His term was shortened to "alt-right" and popularised by far-right participants of /pol/, the politics board of web forum 4chan.”

So other people used the term alt-right and somehow it’s linked to a webzine?
As a counterpoint, one can view this as a feature and not a bug. An organization that fastidiously remembers everything might soon drown itself in memories, as it attempts to fit every new piece of information into the context of all memories. Much like a human savant could end up effectively paralyzed by frequently recollections of irrelevant trivia.

Obviously there’s a middle ground between the above and the “amnesia” that many orgs seem to suffer from, but digging into the actual causes of the amnesia and confusion often reveals it’s not due to missing tools (off either the software or organizational variety)
Umm music ?
I think people are interested in these tools, because they help them mitigate stress from cognitive load: If you have written it down, you don't have the fear of losing your thought.

For me personally, writing notes down is indeed the most important step. I don't read most of the notes ever again :)

A nice UX gives dopamine bonus points for this act of getting peace of mind.
My interest in the subject is mostly that I've not yet found a system that I can work with, I'm absolutely terrible at taking notes, and at using the notes I take, to the point where I don't even know where or what they are.

I'm also terrible at identifying which information to note down, and inconsistent in even attempting to identify it.

So I'm following the topic out of curiosity that a tool might appear that will truly argument my disorganized mind with the skill and dicipline of organization.

I've found Dendron interesting, and have started using it a bit, but I feel it's not "ambient" enough, I need something that interacts extremely well with my phone, home computer and work computer, and is not cloud based.
ARM has I think 2/3 of it's employees in the UK, mainly Cambridge, and they're expanding the campus there. The Semiconductor Physics Group at the Cavendish Laboratory at the University is at the cutting edge globally with 18 PhD projects currently in flight. Guess where scads of ARM's top scientists are recruited from? ARM and the University are joined at the hip. That company's not going anywhere.
My friend from college bought a $2k 29' piece of junk upon graduation, and sailed it to the Bahamas, then up and down the Atlantic seaboard. Granted he was exceptional, which may be a prerequisite if you're not rich.
> some people will always judge you on that

Guess what - some people will judge, or even attack, just because she was a woman. Another example is Australia's political climate the past two days.

Naomi is a cool person, and she should be celebrated for doing cool things regardless of how she looks.
I address that point that some woman want to wear burkas, just as some women don't want to show their boobs. Just because most men don't want to be tempted by seeing boobs, some women don't want to see boobs either. But regardless of men or women neither should be dictating how some woman want to show their body.

Also, while I use the term "men" I really mean "any person that sexualizes a woman over their physical appearance."
I always get my best ideas in the shower. Somehow the complete lack of distraction helps a lot with free thinking, but I think suggesting showerstorming in my office would result in a quick trip to HR.

> Ask HN: Why the Obsession with Note Taking?

Is this some sort of social experiment? (I shall not be suc-- oh, damn!)

For me it's notes but more the closely related to-dos, and I'm always interested because it's something I want to be better at doing (from a very low starting point of almost never having anything up to date written down) but never quite manage or find myself happy with methods/apps/sites I can find.

A while ago I decided/realised my personal preference would be GitHub issues, trouble is I need them to do two things:

1. Implement 'projects' in the mobile app - https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/5609

2. Option to auto-add all my repos to a project - https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/6258

then I'll be happy, shall stop obsessing over it, and stop upvoting and participating in these threads. /s
The right to have tools for killing people is considered essential to maintain their democracy. Unfortunately, their constitution doesn't say anything about the right of being naked or having large breasts or other visible appendages shall not be infringed upon.
It's not body shaming, it's sexism by enforcing a questionable modesty standard.

If anything, she is punished for looking too good.
My take - note taking is a symtom of ADHD. The fact these topics are popular on HN suggests there are quite a lot of ADHD people here.

The counter intuitive thing is that these apps are thought of as something that helps with attention disorders. But wanting to "organize life", "track thoughts and ideas", "never forget what you learned", etc, are symptoms, not cures.
I live in western Europe.
I've worked for 4 different companies, for European salaries, without doing any leetcode type interviews(I ditched any company that was doing it), it was either take home tests about real problems, technical questions, or sometimes just trust in my abilities given my previous experiences.
I've never really trained for leetcode(or not consciously at least, I did do a bit of algorithms/data structures of course), mostly because I know that I would panic and perform poorly in this kind of interview, so I don't really see the point of practicing for that.(it's not really about whether or not I can solve a hard leetcode problem, it's about if I want to do it live in front of a recruiter, it make me anxious just to think about that and I don't want to inflict that on myself), I'd much rather have a hard take home test than an easy leetcode interview.
+If I have to spend a few hundreds hours of hard work on something I'd much rather work on an useful and potentially profitable side-project, rather than on pointless problems already solved thousand/millions of times.
Do you think grinding leetcode is an absolute necessity to land a good job at a company hiring worldwide remotely? I'd be aiming for salaries around 80-100k$. In my country the only companies paying that are FAANGs.
Thanks for your answers
Well this is part of the unsolved problem. How can you take notes and organize themin a high density way that you don't drown yourself in them?
UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) “Scanning Made Easy”
I don't know if this helps you, but in case it does:
They are regulated in Australia. Products that conform will have an AUST R or AUST L number on the packaging.

I learnt this at a talk I went to about 10 years ago. At the time, in the speakers opinion (who from memory was involved in surveillance testing of these products), some countries did regulate stuff like vitamin supplements, but Australia was the only country that "did it properly". And a major component of this was that their regulations covered ingredients and the supply chains.

A quick search turned up this article: https://www.tga.gov.au/blogs/tga-topics/how-are-vitamins-reg...

Finally, a word of caution given by the speaker: many companies/suppliers try to trick consumers online by selling cheaper versions with identical labelling but no AUST number and shipped directly from overseas so it technically counted as a consumer "importing" on their own. Idk if this loop hole still exists.
Is there more to this that i'm missing?

What next, are we going to demonitize Michelangelo's David?
Maybe stop "thinking you're in a path" and actually explicitly define which path you wanna be on [1]. The <base> element has existed expressly for this purpose since 1991, although it was called <address> in the first draft.

Me too, I can't imagine the discipline, skill and time it takes to be organized like that (or at all tbh).
Haha thank you, but how many data generators did you come across? It's not a very widespread genre, although it should be IMHO.

Seriously, any open-source references for command-line tools to generate data?
In general people just build their own makeshift special purpose generators in my experience.
I heard that right now you have to pick a spot, but the rumour is that in the future you will be able to move around. I don't have much more than that, Musk may have tweeted about it at some point.
But what are you using to access this startup VM that's isn't clunky/laggy?
Let's try it this way:

1. Do you, or do you not, think that there can be something which is more important than free speech and which leads (among other things) to increased stability?

2. Do you, or do you not, think that if this something is more important than free speech, the consequence of this is that free speech can be restricted for this thing?
Sigfox Is in Financial Trouble
Yea but those laws are the manifestation of cultural mores. It used to be illegal for black people to vote so laws shouldn't be held up as universal rules of what should be right. I think the important bit is that breasts are not genitalia, and men can expose their breasts. At least for actual genitalia, no humans of any gender can legally expose them in public! That is at least fair.
Thats what censorship boils down to and why it doesnt work. The answer to your initial question is being able to communicate why something doesnt work. Which apparently i am to stupid to in this case. But thats a stupidity people can work on, while censorship has fundamental issues.

edit: was an answer to the first sentence before the edit

To the rest, the problem is finding a basis solid enough for authoritarian action on such a delicate problem as speech (which requires another level then say a court case). Its not either quicksand or a rock but a minimum required level on the spectrum. If you dictate facts, you are dictating that this description encompasses all perspectives and every additional one is wrong. More then that, you dictate that those are all the implications. Its claiming you reached the end of knowledge.

You either can convince people that you are talking about facts or you cant. The problem is communication and not lack of force. As the issue here is only solvable with the former without accepting an inevitable crash in the future. You bringing up censorship is counterproductive for this reason. Somebody (not necessarily me) being able to explain that should be an example for an alternative.

Should have had a coffee first sorry
The answer to all of these is “install backup brakes and refuse to start unless both primary and backup brakes are working”.
Maybe Amazon Germany is different or I've been extremely lucky so far because I've never received a fake (as far as I can tell).

I wonder whether fakes are more prevalent in some product categories than in others.
I don't see vanilla kurnetes as complex.

It is the whole ecosystem around it that is complex, especially as there are no 2 setups done the same way. Also each third party operator has its own set of pros/cons/limitations/learning curve.

This is the reason when you follow a tutorial about how to publish application X using helm on your local kubernetes minikube/k3s whatever setup on your own laptop usually works fine but just doesn't necessarily translate quickly to deploy a production ready working app of your own on your company's managed k8s setup.
True, but there's no legal way to run z/OS on it.
Forcing you to use a porn platform to monetize technical content is wrong on so many levels.
>But the engineering feats alone will never be the focus as a consequence.

There's a line between "never be the focus" and "we will erase you". This sort of thing is constant- but I'll give you a recent example-

NPR recently ran this story: https://www.npr.org/2021/10/25/1047691984/decades-after-poli...

About an American lady who needed some parts for her iron lung and how no one would help her. Only the thing is, they knew I already had:
https://youtu.be/4VKZTmTP7oY

I'd fabricated the collars in Shenzhen, mailed the first batch, revised them and needed someone on the US side to to the final fitting. Martha told them this, a quick search told them this, hundreds of people told them this- did NPR revise the story to correct the omission of "oh by the way this problem we were talking about was solved by this female engineer". No of course not. I mean, it's NPR, you think they are going to get smut on their fingers writing about someone who looks like me? Never going to happen.

Then the Razer mask story, I was central to it and some outlets gave me credit:
https://www.pcgamer.com/razer-rows-back-after-zephyr-face-ma...

Others like the Verge flatly refused to mention my involvement- even jumping through some pretty crazy hoops to avoid it: https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/10/22876303/razer-zephyr-mas...

Again, hundreds of people called them out. But they did the math and decided that the stigma of mentioning someone who looked like me was worse.

That's just the last few months- this has been a constant for years. I fully Open Sourced the best selling 3D printer on the planet, have the first five Open Source Hardware Association certifications granted in China- which people said would never happen, have brought multiple Chinese companies into GPL compliance, I'm the only women to have brought a 3D printer to mass-market- a game changing design for small scale manufacturing- the list is long, but somehow, none of it is "appropriate" to cover- just because of how I look.

We're well beyond- "does my appearance detract from my work". Of course it does. We're at "does my appearance justify not just complete erasure of my work but constant attempts to deplatform and defund me" I don't think it does.
Agreed on both batteries and SD cards. I would add Ethernet cables are crap off Amazon also. The specs offered are useless.
I think your definition of storytelling is too narrow. When I took “storytelling” as a university class 20 years ago it had nothing to do with having moving parts on a website, but the concept is the same for both this article and interactive articles. Storytelling is simply a tool that enables you to tell and present a long story in a way that that makes people read all of it. I’d say this article succeeds as much as that as an interactive article would.
Do you not have a need to regularly record information in your life for later (genuine question)? I am curious how you avoid note taking without forgetting a ton of things.
I like note taking because it augments my thinking. Specifically, it helps me store knowledge for later and organize my thoughts when I'm thinking.

I think what makes it obsessive for me is that I always want to improve my thinking, even if it's a tiny increase. That's why I always check out other people's note taking methods and software, in the hopes of finding a little nugget of optimization.

As for my method, I use plain text and vim to store my notes. If I need to think deeply about a problem, I use a paper notebook and pencil. This is because that combination is good for visualizing a problem.
The higher the price, the more potential projects are cost-effective to move ahead on. The secondary market generating demand in the primary market is a universal property of all markets.

>>The speculators who make-up the secondary market are not the ones who make money by tearing down and building new properties.

The investors who tear down and build new properties are motivated entirely by the market price that a unit can fetch on the market, which is largely determined by the speculators in the secondary market.

Fair, and it’s fun to imagine novel approaches to addressing it with tools. I guess I better start creating my own now…
Well said.

Whoa, whoa. Is that why so many macho men can’t wear a face mask? Do face masks emasculate men? Because if they’re being told what to wear, to cover up their face, it’s being treated like a woman. Except it’s so completely not that. It suddenly makes more sense to me that people are so irrational about the mask and calling it “freedom” while they casually shed virus particles (micro-scale microaggressions), because it’s this weird cultural/emotional response.
Ask HN: What tools are available for proprietary software licensing?
I'm developing a proprietary product delivered as a docker image /container. I'm looking for ways to issue licenses to those who pay for it (think product key).

Obviously, I'm in no mood to start handling encryption processes so I started looking for solutions.

I came across products like keygen, kryptolens, and netlicensing.io that offer some sort of API to validate licenses within the app, but all of these are small companies with 5-10 people that could go out of business any time and generally I don't see any "big names" there.

Am I missing something obvious here? What are the standard solutions for this?
Having recently started medication for ADHD, this applied to me.

Now that my brain operates more closely to my neurotypical peers, I've found myself not needing to take constant notes and review my day in order to remember things.
In that vein, writing something down helps empty my head. And the process of writing things down is like rubber-ducking, whereby I might soon find the idea to be bad and away it goes.
Dude, I just take notes so I can remember stuff. I imagine everyone else is like me and was born human with a human brain, and let's face it, that piece of soggy bacon just doesn't work worth a damn.

There really isn't anything more to this, people enjoy being productive and meaningful in their lives, and it is one of the fundamental drives of the human condition.
