If you ask a question, and I happen to see it a couple days later and can answer it, why would you not want to see said answer?
> As in here on HN? That can hardly be due to notifications since there are none.

I’ve certainly felt that was happening here a few times. I’m glad the “threads” list is so short, because I’m not immune to the siren call of https://xkcd.com/386 even though my better self wishes I were.
Well sure, but that's always a question of what are you trying to defend yourself against(what kind of scenario is the backup helping with). Twin towers are probably good enough for any kind of fire/electrical failure/theft/vandalism, but not for a meteor strike, war or as we've seen - terrorism. It's not that people in your example were stupid and didn't see it - just that most likely they didn't consider those dangers as important to have a backup for(if a war breaks out or a meteor strikes New York you probably have bigger problems).

It's the same here - most of the "human extinction"-scale events really don't touch a base that's 10km under water or under ground. Nuclear war or meteor strike? nope. Earthquakes? There are places safe from that. Solar flares? Nope. Deadly virus? Quarantine everyone arriving like you would with the journey to Mars.

Terrorism remains the main risk, but it would have been the same risk on Mars too.

And most importantly - it teaches us how to run an independent colony deep underground, which is important because despite all the Sci-Fi films showing us otherwise, the base on Mars would really have to be underground because of radiation risk.

So yeah, sure, run an underground base for a few decades then you can just transplant the technology to Mars - don't start with Mars first.
Isn't it high risk when consumers are paying for online porn? I don't see how the creators would be high risk.
Let's accept this premise (which amounts to essentially "we don't know what we don't know") and I'll ask a natural follow up question: what is the difference between colonizing the Moon and colonizing Mars in terms of problems we'd need to solve and thus technology we'd likely gain?
I don't so much care about something being upvoted (it's all fake internet points anyway), but knowing when someone comments back would be quite valuable
I'm forced to use Sharepoint. I have a beautiful recurring dream where markdown export/import is my biggest problem.
Hoo boy, that's a tough one. One of my jobs is working for an ISO17043 accreditation provider so we have an ISO9001 QMS that all our docs sit on and every doc goes through an approval process, has a review date on it (6 months, 1 year, 3 years etc.), can have change requests, issues and non conformances logged against it, is included in audits and is written in a standard style.

We have a document controller who's job (not her entire job, but say 20% of her job) is just to ensure that documents are organised correctly, adhere to guidelines and are actually reviewed and updated when they are supposed to be (I.e. she will come and nag you if a document is overdue and you have been ignoring your notifications).

As part of the ordinary rhythm of business, metrics on how well we are doing on the document control front are produced and reviewed roughly every two months by a senior manager in a quality team meeting. If you don't keep up to date with your document control tasks it will be brought up in your appraisal (in a reasonable fashion, you might just have too many docs assigned to you).

There's other stuff, but let's just say document management is quite important to that business because procedures matter when getting them wrong kills people and / or leaves smoking holes in the ground.

Importantly the process of writing a doc is dead easy and anyone (literally, some of the most useful are written by the admin assistants and lab techs) can create one at any time. Theres a standard template and style guide, you write your doc, you choose an approval pathway, classify it and then submit it for approval. While it's waiting to be approved it sits in the drafts register with a warning on it saying not yet approved, but anyone can still access it.

In practice what happens is rather than writing a long email explaining how to do something you'll just write a doc, stick it in the QMS and give someone a link. Then when someone else needs to know that they can either find it themselves or you can just point them at it.

The admin overhead of the whole system is surprisingly small and means that we actually do have up to date documentation on most things.
There's no way for Apple to stop developers watching what users do in their app, if that app has any kind of server backend at all, and no way to stop developers taking that data and doing whatever they want with it. I mean how is Apple supposed to stop developers accessing data on the developer's own servers? So the only way to disincentivize this behaviour is with policies that ban it and the threat of expulsion from the App Store if you're caught.

I know some of these tracking APIs send data to third parties directly, but if that was banned all this traffic would just be re-routed through the app developer's back end so it would just sweep the problem under the carpet.

We can see from history with Facebook that shady dealings with data to third parties has been caught in the past, it's quite possible to get away with it but also we know that it also has a tendency to come to light.

Anyway, what's the alternative?
I used to own a Galaxy Tab S3, and it became horribly slow (a Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus released just the next year in 2018 was faster) after barely more than two years of use. This isn't an isolated case, as there are threads on Reddit documenting slowdowns (with more recent models) due to software updates [0][1].

In contrast, users report the iPad reliably lasting at least 5 years without noticeable slowdowns [2]. There are surprisingly few other Android tablet alternatives aimed to compete with the iPad (especially the iPad Pro).

This makes the iPad the only option for a high-end tablet that lasts years without upgrades. There are also other benefits of the iPad (e.g. better stylus with the Pencil, better variety of apps in the App Store, less buggy apps from the App Store), but these can be considered as reasonable tradeoffs in favour of an Android tablet (no walled garden). However, I personally don't believe that the short lifespan of the Galaxy Tabs make them a reasonable competitor to the iPads.

I'm not claiming it's a fallacy, my dude. I'm claiming it's a trick.

Since the prior is uninformed, it's obvious this isn't "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" since both claims are extraordinary. It’s just that one is political desirous. Ain’t fooling nobody with the attempt at rational cover.
FYI, WhoIsMyISP.org tells me the name of my city is my ISP, "also known as" the actual ISP name.

This is a weird hill to die on.

Yes, you "bought" the app, but it gets constant updates. It's not like 1990s desktop software, where version X was some static thing that didn't require maintenance as long as it worked.

1Password needs constant, expensive maintenance even if it has zero bugs because they have to keep pace with potential attackers.

They're spending a stream of money to keep the app updated and secure, so why shouldn't they ask for a stream of money from users?

Also, comparing to Dashlane and LastPass (both of which are train wrecks), I would pay a lot more for 1Password. It's one of the best-designed, best-UX apps I've used in years. I'm kicking myself for only switching from LastPass a few weeks ago.
As in here on HN? That can hardly be due to notifications since there are none.

I'm saying notifications would exacerbate those situations, which is why it's good that HN doesn't have that facility.
Your reply seems to be conflating two topics:

- Reasons for the atomic bombings of Japan, and whether many Americans are self-deluded about their actual reasons (like I'm arguing).

- The horrible crimes Japan committed during WW2, and some alleged "defense" of Japan maybe? (As far as I know, everyone today knows about the Rape of Nanking, the Bataan death march, and the forced prostitution of Korean women).

It's possible to believe both that the atomic bombings of Japan were a terrible crime (and that Americans delude themselves about said bombings) and also that Japan committed heinous crimes and that it's good that it lost the war.

Antitrust laws exist. Rather than outlawing the industry itself, outlaw monopoly

> More specifically, people think they want this because it is being (a) heavily advertised to them, and (b) heavily subsidized to them. The public aren't being given all of the information.

I don’t agree with (a), people aren’t stupid and every industry has advertising. (b) is a serious problem and deserves consideration without respect to the specific industry.

Elon Musk tells a judge the SEC’s investigation is stifling his free speech
Because renting a half decent flat (new build, 60sqm, inner London) costs 2000£ per month, good food is extremely expensive (Waitrose would be an average supermarket in Southern Europe), the NHS is not as good as its continental homologues, so you have to pay for healthcare, public transport is very expensive, you have to deal with the immigration office (which western professionals aren’t used to), etc…

The cheapest nursery in inner London cost more than 1600£ per month, so if you have a child you’ll need 4000-4500£ per month (or 75-80K per annum) just to put a roof over your head. If you want to live like a professional or save some money, you’ll have to multiply that by 2.
This is going to seem like an odd recommendation if you are a casual athlete but to save you time/money/satisfaction I strongly recommend a HRM strap instead of wrist optical and even more so if you can justify it, one that has self-storage and can download afterwards. Turns out monitoring via bluetooth and ANT+ has dropout at high heartrates.

I think the Wahoo ticker-x is the only one that meets all those requirements and I think it can work without a watch too. I have the garmin hrm-pro which can save/download but it needs the watch to be connected to start working which is bad design. Check DCrainmaker website for latest reviews.

AWS brings its Local Zones mini data centers to 32 new cities
Except 8 billion starving desperate people trying to get it.

For instance if people were starving or hiding from fallout, those doomsday shelters the rich are building for themselves would likely be overran by the locals who helped build them or heard all about them from town gossip.
It’s cool to see a “Sync to Notion” feature! https://help.flomo.app/advanced/flomo-to-notion

The documentation in Mandarin has more advice on philosophy and practice of note-taking. I like this one: https://help.flomoapp.com/thinking/future.html

Some quotes from iPhone machine translation:

> Productivity experts provide only ideas on "how to write better productivity articles", not your real work/life environment. So these suggestions are not necessarily in line with your real world.

> There is a "golf" course, but no "golf club" course. Cue is just a tool. What you really need to learn is how to play golf skillfully. You should not sacrifice the cost. Tiger Woods uses a pair of worn-out second-hand clubs, which is also beyond the reach of ordinary people.

> So I don't care about the tools, but about the methodology behind using them. But most companies only have tool training and no process training. Similarly, many people are lost in looking for new tools instead of building their own workflow framework.

> Focus on the method first, not the tool itself. When you have a way, the trade-offs of tools will be clear.

Overall my critique is that the landing page/site posted here is very separate from the pages describing features. It’s only because another commenter mentioned “pro pricing” that I noticed you offer sync to Notion! For me, Sync to Notion takes this from a “won’t consider” to a “may sign up”. You should merge landing page and the “help” content into a single easily navigable website.

This kind of personal note taking tool is very niche - power features matter here; there are a ton of simple note takers. If you deliberately avoid having the features/complexity of Bear, Notion, Roam, you still need to differentiate from Notational Velocity or Zim. Lean into how being a SaaS can benefit the user. Sync is a great example.
I don't disagree with your assessment of building aluminium conductors but my argument is that this isn't even really necessary. Living underground just makes so much more sense and is much, much easier. There is strong evidence of extinct lava tubes on the Moon. Sealing one of those up and pressurizing it is just so much easier, practical and incrementally scalable.
A little while ago, I discovered that...

$"A{new List<string>{$"B{"{C}"}D"}.First()}E"

... was valid C#.

This means that a C# compiler can't start with a simple tokenizing loop. That compiler phase would have to keep track of state in a stack, recording what each } character means while its still looping through code character-by-character.

Now we're adding {{ and }} into the equation. Yay.
Ahh, the capitals are important - they help you not to conflate things.

I might not support Antifa beause of (some of) their activities. But I'm anti-fascist because I'm not fascist.

I might not support BLM (although I'd struggle to see why) - I don't support them financially, if that counts. The opposite of beliving that black lives matter is believing that black lives don't mater.

Thankfully Elon doesn’t need funding from this crowd.
I also think Dyson swarms are the future. But I think the Mars effort is helpful towards getting there.

Elon's public motivation for Mars is basically a human backup plan. And for that, it probably may be the best shot of the next 100 years. It seems like a million people living and working on Mars is more likely to survive a worst case scenario that a million people in rotating space habitats.

it's guess time for the $PROMOTION_CYCLE periodic redesign!
Is there any way to alleviate the problem of these forced UX transitions? At the time, Gmail was pretty revolutionary for what it offered (a large, free email account), but as the cost of compute and storage has declined, its pretty cheap to store 10GB-15GB of email in an mbox file or similar data store, fronted with JMAP [1], which any client or web front end that supports it could talk to. Is asking for long term support of a fronend (~10 years) unreasonable as long as the underlying API version is still supported?

I'm genuinely curious why. 1Password, to me, is one of the few software subscriptions that pays for itself. I used to use my own vaults locally and sync via Dropbox but needing to buy Windows and Mac licenses for me and my spouse ended up being much more expensive in the long run than a family plan. We always have the latest versions of the apps, they're constantly adding features, and they always use all the cool little bells and whistles in each OS.

I don't take this position with most other apps as they don't really need a subscription to function but 1Password is a notable exception for me.

I will admit that I don't know regulations outside of my area, and I'm guilty of assuming they are somewhat standardized across the US (and indeed, for some codes, internationally).

Here we just have city inspectors to check basic code compliance. They'll take a quick look at the framing, electrical, and plumbing before the sheetrock goes up, and then they come back for a walk-through before issuing the certificate of occupation. No engineers.

The biggest fees by far are the permit fees, but that's for revenue and would still exist if engineers were doing the analysis for the construction.

I really want to say the volume of a tetrahedron is something like a constant (maybe 1/6) times the determinant of the 4x4 matrix of points. This would be related to what you said. Take the determinant by expansion along the row of 1's, which results in the sum of 4 sub-determinants which... I don't remember ;-)

You may notice they aren't called "Fun size sharing keys" or "Family pack keys" but instead "Private keys" because of that word "Private".

You don't need to wait for people to "exit the company". Sharing private keys was wrong, invalidate those keys. If somebody else knows your private key it isn't private any more. Get this stuff right and rotating keys is unecessary, get it wrong and rotating keys can't help you.

I think management would have to buy in on developer investment. People who want to work with Haskell, on average, seem quite devoted. I feel like those devs who really want to use Haskell at production scale truly believe in functional programming as a superior endeavor, also, most devs devoted to Haskell also love advanced type systems and are particularly drawn to deeper Haskell the more they do it.

Long statements, but I really do think employee retention and personal fulfillment would lead to a better working environment. So that is the way I’d argue it. Obviously a comprehensive sampling of performance metrics would be needed along with the more HR reasonings, but I think there are plenty of examples where Haskell is performing acceptably.

I mean in terms of the experiences the hardware allows, no. Maybe this will allow them to keep future hardware costs down as well, which would be nice. But the lower price point alone isn't really a huge change in VR. The experiences are still the same ones you can play on the old headsets, and people still don't want to mess up their hair by strapping a headset to their face for hours.

I am just of the opinion that the current VR paradigm is fundamentally limited, and outside of a few niche applications, isn't going anywhere. It's telling that 6 years after the first headsets, there still isn't really a "killer app" for this tech. And I'm saying this as someone who has wanted true VR since my childhood. Admittedly I am pretty cynical and would love to be proven wrong.
