Have you tried Evernote at all? what does it miss compared to onenote?
What, are you afraid the NSA is going to steal your business ideas?

Of all the things I would not want spooks snooping, my meeting scrapbook is pretty low on the list.
I really wish they included inking support on the iPad app. I loved OneNote on my Tablet PC I had five years ago, and I'd love to use it today, but I handwrite all my notes on my iPad.
I was talking to some folks at an environmental conference this weekend and they made a great point about people who buy electric cars.

"I wouldn't have been able to buy my Nissan Leaf if Bob here hadn't bought his Chevy Volt, and before that the people who bought their Prius models."

It's more important people are buying electric cars, then who they're buying them from. With increased demand, more people can see the benefits of going this route instead of the traditional gas vehicles. This will hopefully expand the market making it more attractive for other companies to develop add electric cars to their lineups.

I realize many car companies are dead set against electric, but you can only bottle up demand for so long.
I had an interesting experience working in Scotland for a few months. Went to the local pub regularly since their wasn't much else to do (borders). People weren't very friendly at all, especially in the pub. I figured they didn't like outsiders.

Watched a six nations game on the tele in the pub one Saturday and I was heard cheering loudly and somewhat drunkenly for the Welsh rugby tram.

Barman said to me 'so ure not English then?'.

I replied 'no, Welsh'.

From that day on until the end of my stay I was treated like a completely different person.

I imagine this doesn't always happen, but in some places your place of birth does matter in the UK.

To be fair, we Welsh aren't exactly that friendly to the English either, but we have the following viewpoint:

We don't hate the English. We just pity them for not being Welsh. :-)
Did you?

That works perfectly if you already have python3 installed.
While I understand the draw towards this, I can't help but think that it is emblematic of our growing inability to deal with interpersonal conflict in a constructive way.

Are there that many people in your life that you MUST avoid in order to keep yourself sane? I would wager this says a lot about you.

Everyone has that crazy ex that they would stay away from. I do. But it's really not that hard to avoid her. See her coming? Turn around and walk away. She calls you over? Say no, straight up.

Or maybe the authors posted this as a sort of social commentary.
I hate to be that guy but... isn't these examples of fluidity and not actually responsiveness?

Ah, I'd been wondering what hipsters had to do with browser plugins (nspluginapi, which I think is from Netscape).
Yes, the white knight beta male brigade is out in force today, ready to defend any damsel in distress. Of course assuming victimhood just because she's a woman is deeply sexist according to their own genderless ideology, but never mind.
There may be some people who go on road trips looking for a reason to spend longer at the rest stop, but I am not one of them. I would get an electric car except I don't want my 8 hour drive to see the folks a second longer than it has to be.
Not every ISP, but a number of large ones do. I'd be surprised of less than half of home ISP's DNS services don't hijack empty results.
They've gotten better in recent years, at least supporting OS X, iOS, and Android. I've used Office 2011 for Mac for a couple years now, and OneDrive works every bit as well as Dropbox or other cross-platform cloud document programs.
It really surprises me that the rationale behind the switching from a Prius to a Tesla doesn't involve something along of the lines of "Tesla is an American company". I mean, I'm a foreigner and all, so there's nothing nationalist about that comment, but I would expect some form of economic pride and patriotism on the par of American buyers in these times of economic downturn.

Also, were I American, I'd be really proud of what Tesla pulled off with the Model S. It's American muscle car meet new economy meet green energy meet entrepreneurship. Seeing France struggle with their attempts at electric cars, I really envy America on this one.
I don't see much wrong with them, other than the new backwards scrolling, disappearing scrollbars and rubberbanding. I use the Magic Mouse, which to me feels pretty nice. The only trouble I have really had is that they're crap for gaming. Then again, I don't touch my mouse very often.
People with Down Syndrome suffer from a debilitating disability that directly affects their ability to perform the essential functions required from math professors. Unless you suggest that being a woman or a black man is a similar disability, I think the comparison is inappropriate.

The reason I put "period" is because many people aren't aware of the current body of research in gender studies and sociology, and modern definitions of sexism (a simple introduction can be found here[1], esp. unintentional sexism: "The tendency to use intent, rather than result, to measure whether something was offensive and inappropriate, and therefore sexist, is tied into male privilege and the way that it enables sexist practices to be seen as normal."). If women are largely absent from a group wielding any social power, then by definition sexism exists (or sex-based discrimination, if you prefer), unless you can prove that being a woman is a relevant debilitating disability, which I don't even think anyone conjectures. Because the data suggests[2] that diversity in Silicon Valley is severely lacking, this is a serious problem in Silicon Valley.

(Any rationalization such as "but what if women don't want to be in tech" is irrelevant. The assumption is that all groups want to take part in powerful institutions, and if they don't, it must be because somewhere along the line society encouraged them not to want that, thus effectively removing them from power.)

Bitcoin to the masses
A little bit of humour is good. The problem is that if a little bit of humour is tolerated, it becomes more acceptable to submit and upvote, so a little bit of humour turns into a lot of humour. This could start to significantly displace "real" content. I would expect PG to step in well before this becomes a problem, so I have no qualms upvoting things like this on rare occasions.
The future is in the cloud though, and OneNote has always (for the ~3 years I've been using it) worked this way. Everything is synced with the cloud.

Ask HN: Best GNU/Linux laptop as of March 2014?
Starting a new job, on the lookout for a new laptop.

Ideally it runs with Intel graphics and Atheros wireless, with no firmware required. It'll run Debian.

I'm leaning towards buying another ThinkPad.
I'm reading the bill right now, I don't know why there's such a fuss. The people who drafted this document are aware of these issues, and have taken active measures to make sure they aren't taken advantage of.

For example, this site says:

> The current definition of "specialized service" (Article 2.15) increases costs and risk to internet users, and must be changed or deleted.

However, if you look at the actual definition in the bill [1], this has already been taken care of:

> (15) "specialised service" means an electronic communications service or any other service
that provides the capability to access specific content, applications or services, or a
combination thereof, and whose technical characteristics are controlled from end-to-end or
provides the capability to send or receive data to or from a determined number of parties or
endpoints; and that is not marketed or widely used as a substitute for internet access service;

(Emphasis is my own.)

Similar arguments can be used for the rest of the sites' points. To be clear, I'm all for net neutrality, in fact, as a student I've personally benefited from this enormously. But it's unfair to say this bill is "threatening internet freedom". Rather, it seems like a big step forwards for consumers and telecom companies alike.

2048 Hard version
Its been a long time Microsoft has done something that makes me happy but this is one of those times. People in my office use OneNote a lot, I use Evernote but I have seen others use OneNote and it looks more powerful.

That being said the current state of Office for Mac is horrible, my outlook and lync crash every time I plug in an external monitor, awake from sleep, and sometimes when I switch desktops. They also have weird window behavior and the windows get stuck halfway above the menu bar.

Please fix the problems with Office for Mac before you add new products.

Don't be silly, local notebooks are a really useful thing when flying and when out of range of cell service (like camping, which is a great time for continual thinking without distraction). Without a capability for offline notes it will be less useful than if it had that capability.
Deploying Software Sensibly with NixOS 13.10
I was one of those 12 year olds hanging out on usenet and slashdot about 15 years ago. I was exposed to technology, computational/mathematical language/jargon, the social pressures of continual growth and development, and so on, at a very young age, and it is most certainly a part of my core identity.

I still burnt out. I was working on my PhD in computer security and it took me 2 years to recover from 8 years of straight schooling and essentially no social life, or at best, a negative social life.

Growing up, I did not learn how to relax. I did not learn how to balance my mental and social health needs with my desires of who I wanted to be when I was 30. I did not learn how to balance my need to constantly be praised by my peers for my hard work and intelligence, with my need for social support, compassion, and understanding for when I failed (or was in the process of failing).

I burnt out really bad. I didn't have anyone to turn to because I was ashamed. I do have to say HN helped me look at failure in a different light, as a learning experience that I would likely value forever, but I still don't know if given the choice again, I would choose to experience it in the way I did.

I don't like to believe that learning trade offs are the same, generally, for each generation, but my experience tells me they are. Now I spend my time learning other things, like how to talk to people without turning into a frozen ball of nerves.

And so "they" hijack a plane to get these guys? Wouldn't it be easier to just kidnap them at gunpoint from their hotel?

The freescale connection is a total red herring. Either they intended to land/crash the plane somewhere and failed, or the plane was the target and it's now sitting in some deserted desert airstrip getting retrofitted for whatever mission it is intended for.
OneNote feels more like a piece of paper, where I can jot down exactly what I want where I want. To me, Evernote feels more like a collection of post-its.
And this may have changed, but at least taking notes for math etc. worked much better in OneNote.

Edit: Heh, the other commenter thought of Evernote as post-its as well. :p
It's the worst one I've seen. A blank page would be only slightly less informative.

As much as I'd like to constantly be productive, I know that it's not healthy for my mental balance. If I want to be sharp in the long term, I find it ok to take a break every once in a while and chill out from being laser-focused & super-productive.

YMMV
IIRC, the vast majority of a Prius (and most other cars - I believe I've heard the same about at least some BMW models) is made by Americans in an American factory.
It does happen, security by obscurity is actually quite prevalent outside of Infosec: if nobody knows it's there how can it be stolen?

Search for "Heathrow Runway Robberies", etc. There were a number of documentaries on the subject, IIRC there were several gangs that specialized in jacking crap off planes in airports. It's possible (however unlikely) that some graduated beyond the airport.

In my mind, the term burnout is incorrectly used as a synonym for 'overworked and stressed to the point of collapse'. Whilst for me burnout means an expiry of enthusiasm and motivation which is a subtle difference perhaps.
I got a derp on this game at 9000. So derp (the top of the table), must mean "1024". In which case I take back my comment. It's possible to reach 1024 with a strategy only slightly little better than random shuffling.

Has anybody combined two derps to see what happens when the list & images run out?
The flight deck O2 masks are specifically designed to provide positive pressure to avoid smoke inhalation in the event of a fire. There's no real reason not to use them - if the fire is close enough that it would matter you're already dead.
While reading your great comment, I was hoping you'd continue explaining where these desires and ambitions would come from, and why they can cause burnout. But yes, people will have to figure that out for themselves. I've found that the patterns you describe come very close to conversations I've been having with people about playing music (which I've been doing intensively for quite a while now):

I hear a lot of people "wanting to play guitar", or "wishing they could play like <player X>". I often ask them whether they want to a) be seen as a great guitarist, or b) actually play guitar. There's a big difference between a and b. A revolves around the idea that you "are" something, and often, where others can see you as being something. B is about actually enjoying to play guitar, for no other reason than playing guitar. No recognition, no fame, no secondary intentions.

Everything you invest large amounts of time in should come from nothing but enjoying that thing you do in itself. But it's not easy. Motivations always get distorted by psychological influences (and that's what you meant by the last line of your comment, if I understood it correctly). There are many people who haven't received much validation or acceptance on a personal level while growing up, for instance. These people will keep reaching, but they'll never reach actual self acceptance. Burnout.

It's really important to confront yourself with issues that you can identify inside yourself, and keep (re)defining yourself. Not what you do, but who you are. What you do should be a consequence of who you are, not a reaction to personal shortcomings you're not looking in the eye directly.

I'm not a psychologist, this is just my take on things.
Oh you entirely intend it to be offensive, which is fine.

Believe what you want. I will say again that of the three "I can't believe it!" responses thus far, I'll bet zero have ever even run their profiler. Ignorance, as they say, is bliss, and in many cases is perfectly fine.
I guess it depends on what you keep in your notebooks. Business notes in the cloud, fine. Personal stuff I keep notes on -- medical history, financial info, etc. -- all in the cloud, possibly encrypted with some key owned by MS also in their cloud, living forever? Nope.

This is just begging for a scathing reply. Please eat healthy food and if necessary, buy fewer Android tablets to afford it. Foie gras likely isn't good for you, cabbage, egg and rice is probably a much better diet.
You're right of course. It is a really really terrible movie!
Hopefully it will convince Evernote to make a linux client to set themselves apart.
OneNote's digital whiteboard stuff is amazing for collaboration. It's really slick and actually pretty fun to use.

So maybe Kia should go for it: spend millions of dollars per year and put together the best design shop the industry has ever known! Design an incredible new studio for them to work in.

Interesting that you used KIA for this example. Several years ago they hired celebrity designer - Peter Schreyer, responsible for Audi TT and New Beetle - to do just that. And current KIAs are much better designed and still cheapest cars in NA market.
Bitcoin and Thoughts from Bill Gates
A big update for Office for Mac is also supposed to be incoming soon. (as in, a major update like Office for Mac 2014 kind of major) I agree that the current stuff is kind of janky and it would be nice if it got fixed, though. My wife writes novels with it and tends to have 10+ documents open, which makes it freak out sometimes and totally stop working. Hopefully the new version will work a lot better, not be too expensive (hey, they released OneNote for free! you never know what's going to happen with them next), and not change the UI around too much.
This quote seems worth reminding people of:

"If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." --Eric Schmidt, Google CEO, 2009

This was his cavalier response to protests that Google's insatiable appetite for information was messing with people's privacy.

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

Now with the revelations of Google's activities, as well as their back-channels for the NSA/CIA/other alphabet-soup agencies as well as cozy relationships with certain politicians, it's a different tune they're singing.

Which is great! My business is based on cloud computing. I totally see the value of syncing my business notes through the cloud to my other devices. But I need the option of flagging certain notebooks as private and not to be synced. So I guess I'll stick with Yojimbo for personal notes.
Here's an excellent explanation on cosmic inflation from Sean Carroll:

I have a Dell XPS15, running Linux Mint (never even booted the stock Windows OS) and have had nothing but good things to say thus far. It's light, it runs quickly (playing a good bit of Kerbal Space Program with my daughter) and it was relatively cheap (I got mine for $1100 last year). I'd recommend it to absolutely anyone.

They aren't comparable products, that is sort of the point.

The idea is that until Tesla shipped the model S, there was a "gap" in the market offerings, but the closest thing to that gap was the Prius. So people bought Prius, but as soon as a better (for them) option was available they jumped ship.

In a much larger and more destructive way, this is what happened to RIM. The blackberry had many users who, given the option, actually wanted something else in a smartphone and happily left RIM for alternatives as soon as they existed.

There is an important lesson in this for all businesses. It is dangerous to assume a customer is "yours" if the real issue is that the market isn't meeting their needs very well. In this case someone else can acquire a huge number of "your" customers in a very short time.... Of course the real problem there isn't that everyone looked at the (roughly iphone shaped) hole in the market and said to themselves "eh, that won't really be a problem"; the real problem is that this existed in a blind spot, or its practicality was underestimated.
Yep many rather pay the company X tax, but only Microsoft's tax is evil.
100k a year doesn't put you even close to the comfortable range for buying a Model S.

Prius are not made in the US, they are all imported. This may change in the future, as hinted at by Toyota. Source: http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/bulletin/toyota-prius-to-be-...
Last I checked all of the Prius models are still built in Japan. Toyota has been talking about a US factory on and off for a few years, but I don't think anyone substantial has come of it yet.
Prius is definitely a status symbol. It's a symbol that says "I'm green". That's one of the major reasons it has sold better than other hybrids: it's visibly different. Other hybrids look like gasoline cars and don't work as well at telling the world that the owner is green.

Tesla is a symbol that says both "I'm green" and "I have money".

> Educated people are not necessarily benefiting at all from the status quo before they become educated.

We're disagreeing here only because I believe that social status/education is largely a function of your parents' status, and their influence, rather than of your grit.

You benefit from the status quo if your parents benefit from the status quo.

You can go to almost any country as a tourist and apply for jobs. Just don't mention this in your visa application or they will refuse your visa.
