This seems nice. In fact, this almost does what I've been doing for years through a script. The major functional difference between my script and your otherwise excellent idea is that I try to avoid installing anything. And that is possible for pretty much everything in your list.So please favour portable versions instead of installers. And if possible and only an installer is supplied, please check if you can't get the app anyway by simply unpacking the msi and getting the files out of it.

That's partly because women have careers in developed countries, which they won't if there's no work.
Those aren't the concerns for me (in-so-far as I'm "successful"). The main problems for me are:

1) time. Running and growing a successful company is an enormous sink of time, energy, mindshare, etc.

2) completeness of thoughts. I don't like to blog about stuff where I don't really know what I'm talking about. That unfortunately is also the most interesting stuff I could blog about at the moment. However, since it's still unfolding and the results of my decisions will take 6+ months or even years to arrive, it's difficult to make a cogent blog post about those decisions. Hindsight is a valuable tool for insight, but I'm still in the middle of all these things.
Ask HN: Best CLI time-tracking software?
I'm about to start some freelance work, and I'm looking for a CLI time-tracking program. It doesn't need to be hugely sophisticated, but ideally would have the following features:

- Relatively easy to install on Mac OS X;
- Well-documented;
- Store its data in plain-text;
- Produce output that lists date, with start and finish times and
(even better if it can total up the time and then multiply total
by my hourly rate);
- Still be under active development/maintenance.
Due to leakage current , for some types of applications it doesn't make sense to make the transistor size shrink.

For example , energy micro, one of the leaders in low power microcontrollers use the very old 130nm process, same as those FA18A chips.

Yes, but you are oversimplifying it.

We eat mostly the same food recipes, but there is a lot of variation in how that food tastes, depending on who makes it, not to mention the mistakes happening in the preparation process. That's also why you can't find in a restaurant the familiar taste of the home-cooked meals that your mom or grandma used to cook while you were a child. Can you automate a fast-food chain, like a McDonalds? Of course, but that's not food.

Plus, one of the reasons for why many of us like to try out restaurants is to get some variety and even though the database of all known food recipes is limited, the combinations possible for sweetness, sourness, saltiness, bitterness, and umami, as received by our tastes buds in various proportions is infinite. Therefore even though we have plenty of food recipes already, there's always room for more.

Your impression that movie plots can be generated with random combinations stems from the recent wave of Hollywood movies filled with special effects and dumb plots. I personally like movies with special effects and dumb plots. It's mindless fun. But sooner or later I'll get tired of it, as will many people. Comedy and drama on the other hand need originality and while you can find traces of inspiration everywhere, every successful book or movie ever made also have original pieces in them.

You're also oversimplifying the technical challenges, as if random combinations of available plots is easy. It's not. This is not like playing chess. For this to work you need (1) a way to generate something coherent, because as much fun as it is to generate gibberish with Markov chains, the step from here to generating something meaningful is quite big and (2) a way to measure the fitness of a combination and drop the combinations that don't work. What are you going to do? Expose people posing as lab-rats to millions of combinations and measure their brain activity?

(yes, I'm the type of engineer that rains on people's dreams, by thinking of the technical challenges involved :-P)

I have trouble sympathising with Schmidt when he's earlier said that Internet privacy is an illusion, even though he's suffered from intrusive reporting.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10413473-56.html

> "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/12/google-ceo-eric-schmid...

> Unfortunately, Schmidt's statement makes it seem as if Google, a company that claims to care about privacy, is not even concerned enough to understand basic lessons about privacy and why it's important on so many levels -- from protection against shallow embarrassments to the preservation of freedom and human rights.

> Gawker was quick to point out the personal hypocrisy of Schmidt's dismissive stance, noting that for about a year, Schmidt blacklisted CNET reporters from Google after the tech news company published an article with information about his salary, neighborhood, hobbies, and political donations -- all obtained from Google searches. Techdirt noted additionally that Schmidt's statement is painfully similar to the tired adage of pro-surveillance advocates that incorrectly presume that privacy's only function is to obscure lawbreaking: "If you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to worry about."
If chefs just have to design a menu once and then have robots actually cook it, the number of chefs in employment is going to fall pretty dramatically: I'd estimate 30-fold at least.

In a restaurant kitchen, generally only one or maybe two people are actually involved in designing the menu, out of a significantly larger number who do the preparation. And unless you're running a very unusual, top-end restaurant, that's a matter of a couple of months' work every year, at absolute maximum - closer to a couple of weeks a year for most normal restaurants, I believe.

Of course, some cooking tasks are going to be harder than others. I wouldn't want to bet on a top-flight pastry chef getting replaced any time soon, for example. But creeping automation in the kitchen is definitely a possibility: sous-vide techniques can already make things like preparing a hollandaise considerably quicker and simpler, for example. And baristas are staring down the barrel of robot barista workers right now.
I got the impression that Schmidt was the most privacy-concerned guy in the Google management triumvirate, reading Steven Levy's Google book. So his thoughts might not be an accurate reflection on how the company will react.

This is some actual code from one of my projects (though written by another contributor):

To transition to monster card gallery:
animate the gallery-transition as a reel animation targeting the transition-container at 8 fps;
wait for main menu input until all animations are complete;
pause for 1000 milliseconds, accepting input;
now the image-ID of the transition-container is the image-ID of the card-container.

Yes, Chernobyl had terrible decisions. But having Soviet workers and Soviet technology is an awful combination, and so it weakens your point to mention Chernobyl, because people will say "We don't use stupid old power plants; we have better workers".

Fukushima had an earthquake, and went into shutdown mode. They then had a tsunami, which broke cooling systems. I'm not sure what bad decisions and irresponsible acting caused that accident? What could they have done differently?

I guess building a power plant in an earthquake zone in a place where a 13 m tsunami can get it is sub-optimal.

Freedom usually means being able to achieve your personal goals: of speech, of movement, of opinion, etc.

We humans are often aided by tools. So, we can also talk about the freedom to study and modify said tools.

What many FOSS advocates seem to miss is that the first freedom, that which comes from being able to fulfil your own goals, is the most important one for everybody.

To the point where freedom of the tools is only relevant for you if understanding said tools was your personal goal in the first place.

Surely the more important question is, "is the % of successful entrepreneurs who write blogs moving up or down".

If you think back to the 90s before "blogging" was a thing, the number of entrepreneurs who blogged was approximately 0%.

You could probably rewind to 1995 and say something like "Few successful businesses have a website" but would it naturally follow that investing in a website was a waste of time?
"Internet access means knowing the market price rather than being ripped off by a middleman for your crop."

This is a classic tale that got retold over and over again for the positive impact of communication. Farmers know the market price - that's not a problem. The problem is they might not be able to sell their crops at market prices due to logistical choices and availability.

If there are only a few trucks today to deliver your produce to the faraway market, you take whatever price the middle man gives you - regardless of the market price - because the other choice is leaving them rotten on the field.

Try:

It's a maturity thing. I worked 80+ hours a week in my 20's, couldn't understand why anyone (my co-workers) wouldn't. The work fascinated me, and was secondary to getting spannered in bars and clubs, which is what others my age were doing.

Things slowed in my 30's - the social thing got more important, and I'd seen and done enough to realize how appallingly inefficient most of planet earth is, so I started doing stuff on the side for myself. Net effect is my work week dropped to maybe 50/60 hours a week. When I hit 42 I became a father, and now 40 hours a week seems unobtainable. I probably average no more than 35.

You choose your path. What seems right today may not be right tomorrow. I regret none of it, and given the chance would do it exactly the same again.
