> I was just wondering if there's anything else that Obsidian offers besides Markdown syntax, since hyperlinking documents and application-agnostic data formats are also features of HTML.

Yet you reply asking if there is anything beyond Markdown. That's dismissing what a lot of people have reiterated: Markdown is the main thing.

You keep looking for a different killer feature because you are dismissing everyone else's killer feature.

I read her book and it had stupid sexist advice, for one thing. It was like, "if you want a raise, blame your husband! tell them 'My husband needs me to make more money' and other out of touch suggestions like "get a nanny so you can take off and go to conferences" and if you're overwhelmed at home to hire a housekeeper. Just overall was poorly written, full of name dropping to her celeb gal pals (did you know she is friends with Oprah, Ariana Huffington, Maria Shriver, Kelly Ripa and Hilary Clinton??!) and self-promotional.
YouTube was founded in 2005, and then sold to Google in 2006.

Then it was run under Google from 2006 to 2023.

Does anyone remember what 2005 looked like at all?

The grocery chain has to spend money to buy the products.

A better comparison might be a flea market or fair where the organizers take 27% of gross receipts from each vendor, even if the customer went to the vendors store outside of the fair to buy. Which sounds egregious to me, moreso if it was the only fair that existed for a large demographic.

This is the exact use-case I found for them, and it’s terrific. I define any tag, e.g. <my-modal>, put normal HTML within it as if it were just a div, and then I can define the callbacks (like adding/cleaning up listeners) and custom attributes in a tiny bit of JS.

The excess (the externalization of harms to the general public and thr concentration of benefits in the capitalist class) is exactly the point of capitalism (as in, the reason the former mercantile class fought the established aristocracy for the system of features that eventually had the name “capitalism” applied to it by its critics, not as in the backward-looking idealized rationalization invented by the system’s defenders to counter critics later.)

The US (like most modern mixed economies, as much of the developed world has moved beyond pure capitalism) has a few features (progressive income taxation, some taxation of property and luxuries, schemes of redistribution supported by those) to slightly mitigate that excess, but its still a central feature of the system on which elites rely and which they aggressively defend.

> However, what they are defining as "private equity" seems to be pretty amourphous

It is an English anguage report, not an engineering document.

In that context it is crystal clear what is meant by "private equity". It is completely different from "private ownership"

It is not a problem at all.

There is a similar issue with objecting to comparing out comes. The effects are not able to be finely measured,but the scale of the effects makes that a pointless quibble.

The entry of private equity into health businesses, rolling them up into large groupings then squeezing them for profit has been documented in many places. Objecting because the measurements and descriptions are not perfectly precise is not very good.

(It is in the "squeezing for profit" that the problem lies - incase you need some help)

Ha, just a minutes before this post I thought again why I recently decided not to bother with upgrading my T440:

despite the upgrade (replacing the ugly 1366 panel to a proper FullHD, IPS one) wouldn't cost me much (around $50 for the panel and probably another $50 for the work and maybe cleaning) it would be still a decade old laptop with an anemic i3-4010U (2c/4t 1700MHz), the awful Intel(R) Wireless-N 7260 and a fucking pedal instead of the touchpad. Sure, I can replace the wireless card too (if Lenovo would allow me and I would find the proper one if it doesn't) but at this point... It's easier to add another $50-100 and just buy something a more modern.

But hey, if my main notebook would fail, just as JGC, I would be fine with it because it's a glorified terminal:

At some point in the last decade or so HR at many tech companies have decided to rebrand themselves at "People Operations." And CPO as a title is the logical conclusion of this nonsense. You guessed the acronym correctly. Practically speaking it's the same old mundane HR department.

Most fleet vehicles are sold as normal vehicles to consumers as well. I don't know where to find them, just saw the normal base trim versions of those fleet cars listed on normal used car sites. There's tons of them out there: chevy spark/sonic, ford fiesta, mitsubishi mirage, nissan versa, WT trim f150/silverado/ram 1500 etc.

If you want to buy new and don't mind forking over more money than most would consider reasonable you could probably buy a brand new ford escape interceptor or tahoe ppv which is pretty much guaranteed to be as barebones and 'dumb' on the inside since they're meant to be converted to police vehicles. Don't think many dealers would order them for individuals but if you search around there's probably some out there that will.

The long term goal of this project is to make HTML/CSS the defacto way of typesetting PDF documents. I’ll definitely keep it running for as long as I can.

That's just the UX of most ebook reader application, it's not a limitation of the format itself. The conceptual model of the most popular epub readers are built upon the concept of a personal library, but that's just because, as you said: "most existing epubs are books". There's nothing stopping anyone from creating an epub file that's not a transcription of a book.

Calibre's e-book viewer should cover your use-case just fine, and in KDE is quite easy to set that viewer as the default application for epub files.

Let’s assume you want to sleep at night and be able to look yourself in the mirror.
I think that anno 2024 it’s well known that you own the physical device but you license the software it runs on in exchange for agreeing with the license agreement. So I don’t think there’s much insight to be added there.

But you do bring up an interesting point by mentioning sideloading.

The courts have established in this case that Apple can charge their commission regardless on the premise that it’s a payment in exchange for the use of their IP.
All in all not a shocking decision really because it just continues on the standing law regarding property rights.

But it might have ramifications for sideload apps, unless you really want to get down and dirty those will be using Apple’s IP as well and in some cases there’s not even an alternative unless the iPhone is jailbroken.

Because the developers of those app will be using Apple’s IP, Apple can extract payment from them.

Perhaps not the full 30% because presumably they wouldn’t have agreed to Apple’s developer agreement, but it won’t be $0 either.

Similar legal gaps exist in the impending EU regulation. Believe it or not, they too have well established property rights surrounding IP and there too there are courts who will be the final arbiters in this.

Many seem to think that just because the EU says or does something it’s the law of the land, but like with legislation in the US it can be fought and I’d say even more so there because a lot of the regulations originate from the EU Commission, which is just the EU’s sparkling executive branch.

While the dust is starting to settle here in the US, we will more than likely see some cases starting in the EU.
UV light is also pretty bad for humans, is it not? Sunburn, skin-cancer, and all that. I seem to recall a recent mistake where some UV disinfectant lights were used at an event, resulting in sunburns and eye problems for many attendees.

The article does address this and is talking about a variety of techniques for UV light that has less exposure to people and doesn't result in immediate harm. But presumably this would still be more exposure than sunlight (otherwise, the sun would be killing all these bacteria/viruses anyway), and I'm not aware of any studies assessing the risk of long-term exposure to those levels of UV. If you want to install these systems in buildings, you'd need to assess the risk of literally years of continuous exposure to deem it safe. The couple of weeks on an oil rig proposed in the article wouldn't cut it, from a safety point of view.

But perhaps I'm just being overly conservative.
One of the things that makes me sad about this is that Sergei and Larry seem so checked out. They were mostly gone when I was there, but I've always gotten the feeling that Google was like grad school because Larry and Sergei wanted it that way.

I get that they've made a ton of money, but it also seems like they really wanted to spend their lives making awesome stuff and doing things like scanning books and making them free. And it feels a bit like the market forces took Google away from them. They put Sundar and a bunch of other McKinsey alums in charge. And McKinsey is, from what I can tell, basically the opposite of grad school.

Whenever I did see Larry or Sergei make an appearance they always looked a little dead inside and like they were just going through the motions.

And from what I can tell, the original sin was taking VC funding. Once they took VC funding, they had limited actual control over what happened to their company. So while they talked in 2004 about not wanting to be a conventional company, and while they warned in 1998 that ad-driven search engines were biased against their users, they still had limited ability to be unconventional in any way that was unattractive to investors. And that includes, in a sense, just being too different. A large company will eventually need to be run by professional management, and professional managers need a thing that looks and drives like a conventional company.
> I think coupling where your kids go to school with where your tax dollars are going severely misunderstands the point of having there be tax dollars for schools in the first place.

It makes some sense considering the people with kids probably care much more about the details in how those dollars are spent. Not that there are not people without kids who are equally interested (esp. those who work in education), but on avg parents will have much more interest and much more visibility into how it's spent.

What's weird to me is thinking that parents shouldn't get some "special powers". It's like saying the people who live in a particular police precinct shouldn't get any special consideration about how that precinct is run.
That is a thing that's done. The idea here though is that UV lights are a much cheaper retrofit than HVAC systems, so they could be a huge improvement in places that don't have good HVAC.

Last year, I upgraded to a new daily driver: ThinkPad T520, manufactured in April of 2012.

Linux (Debian Stable) runs great on it, and it has TrackPoint with a non-chiclet keyboard. And if you drop it on something, the something will probably get hurt more.

It doesn't seem "vintage". My previous one, made in 2009, also still runs Debian Stable well, including when running 3 different Web browsers and a couple other bloated programs at once.

At the time it was claimed that it was dual licenced both with the original licence and GPLv2. So presumably if and only if you were wanting to sell modified versions the source code to them must be made available.

I appreciate the time you put into your thought. Fundamentally, I disagree with the assertion that because a minor consumer purchase goes south and charges an unarguably illegal processing fee (for interchange) now deemed legal for hardware providers that the usual moral justification for this, consumer welfare, is harmed as the BATNA is simple - get a different maker's phone. Varying qualities of substitutes are easily attainable.

No, where Apple goes wrong and will lose the market is through the exercise of market access to developers, as they lock the currently largest market down. It's also a implicit tax for purchasing.

But the legal remedies are already stymied. We are stuck with the stupidity of the decision for awhile despite the minor migration inconvenience.

They capture more consumer surplus so the better they are at their job the worse off you are as a consumer. Where the market price is close to the marginal utility it barely matters if the company survived to continue to provide the product or service.

In my view what makes a product like the new Edison Motors EV Semis revolutionary is not the technology but saying no to more money and leaving consumer surplus on the table for the benefit of their customers. It’s hard to say no to more money.
I used to work for a company that was acquired by a PE firm (now known as Revenera). The software I supported got more expensive, the sales folks more aggressive on the "license compliance shakedown" games, and new features and bugfixes highly de-prioritized.

Sales were already going down and they responded by raising prices every time to make up for the lost revenue. The market itself was shrinking less than market share being lost.

Another product line I was less involved in pivoted direction and I guess is still doing OK.

As described in the article, far UV does not appear to be directly dangerous to humans at all. However it does produce Ozone, which can be dangerous - the question is how significant that would be in real, world settings, which is being studied.
I think of the market in two segments. The self identified sigma male who thinks a truck is what makes you masculine. And the much larger fleet market of stripped down work trucks. The later of which seems underserved in the EV space.

Anyone should be allowed to open, own and run a new hospital. Which stands in direct conflict to your opinion.

I bet I could wander through these hospitals, chat to the staff and find ways to reduce cost and drastically reduce outcomes - given the numbers that are being quoted, it is not a challenging task. And I could probably set up a new hospital that did much better and is much popular with patients.

But I'm nobody special, so if I can see that every can. If it isn't happening, it is probably because setting up a good hospital is illegal. Working on making competition easier will get good results.
I didn't think of that. This seems like a very good idea. Put the lights where the people aren't, but where the pathogens will be circulating.

It's not a global toggle, but Asus definitely has options to make things more stock-Androidy — you can basically turn the Settings app back into something resembling the stock version, and a bunch of their other UI enhancements and changes are also optional.

Right, but just because it doesn't appear to be dangerous doesn't mean it won't be in the long term. Unless there've been studies already done on the effects of long term exposure, I'm inclined to be cautious. Things like this can have long term effects that aren't immediately apparent.
