I used Evernote fairly extensively a couple of years ago. It had a long way to go back then.

In OneNote if you want a table you can type something and hit tab. What you wrote will be in a cell, and you will be inserting in the next cell. Tab again for another cell. Cells created like this merge if placed together. Tables in general are leagues ahead in OneNote.

One note also acts like a note book. you can write anywhere on the page. Evernote acts like a traditional text application. There is a single text area. It's difficult to explain without demonstrating, but it feels more natural.

The hierarchical nature of Pages, Sections and Section Groups works better for me then Evernote.

Shared notebooks with live update are really awesome in OneNote as well.

Finally I had more merge conflicts with Evernote, and lost data, but yymv.

The Prius isn't assembled in America like many other models - it's still made in Japan [0]. I'm sure there are at least a few American components but it's actually one of the least American Toyota models.

Other Toyota models like the Sienna, Tundra, and Camry are indeed made in the USA.

As for BMW, X3s, X5s, and X6es (even for their own domestic market) are made in South Carolina, but their sedans and coupes are made in a variety of other sites (Germany, South Africa, Mexico, others).

So you're right that many foreign cars are more American than they'd seem, but in the case of the Prius, not so.

> Ada and memory management

Ada does not specify GC. Ada does have pointers; it calls them "access types". It supports unconstrained types, which are allocated on the stack when declared (no need for malloc/new). It also supports more sophisticated memory management abstractions, like Storage Pools and Controlled Types.

> I could not imagine this as a systems language.

Ada was designed to be a systems language, provides all the facilities one would need, and is extensively used as one. So beyond "it's not C" I don't really know how you could come to that conclusion.
I've discovered that a commute over 30 minutes, even to an interesting job, just destroys my ambition both at work and for an hour or two after work.
Evernote appears to me as a thoughts organizer - its focus is heavy on managing notes, and its note editing features are pretty sparse. For my use case, Evernote seems horribly over engineered, as it is my note taking that is complex, but the management of my notes is rather simple. For simple notes and reminders, Google Keep has replaced it completely (and I was a Pro user for a while).

I've always envied OneNote on Windows (Phone), and will definitely try this. Its rich editing features appear to be much more suitable for better, you know, note taking.

Because women, as a group, are much less powerful than men – in tech in particular and in our society in general – blaming "hatred" on the weak party seems a little unfair, even if most men aren't intentionally sexist.

And you are absolutely right. Sex discrimination is systemic, probably starting in kindergarten and even at home. However, it's hard to fix education if young girls don't have lots of positive role-models to look up to, and you can't make those role models unless education is fixed. So fighting sexism has to be systemic as well, and at all levels at once.

> On the contrary, I think that any such alternative plan to kidnap and interrogate a handful of the Freescale guys would probably seem at least as risky if you described it in some detail, then looked at it with as much scepticism as you've directed at the flight-370 version.

I doubt it because the aircraft simply adds a huge amount of risk and has little benefit. The only two benefits are that they are all in one place and that they are on a vehicle which can bring them out of the country. But the former could certainly be achieved in another way. Where they on a business trip in Malaysia? That would simplify it a lot because you could get them easily in the hotel or even better on the transfer to the airport.

The latter is almost perfect. You hijack the minibusses used by the transfer company. You load up the unsuspecting employees. Drive them to a hideout and either force them with weapons or by using knock-out gas. Wait a few hours until it's night. And then you can drive them to the coast, load them into a small boat, and bring them to a larger vessel waiting off the coast. There are of course risks, like a random police encounter or someone noticing you loading people onto a small boat. But to me it seems they pale in comparison to successfully hijacking an aircraft, flying it unassisted while evading radar to a hidden location, which is far away from any civilians or foreign military infrastructure, getting rid of 220 people, getting rid of a huge aircraft.

But in the end who would be worth all this attention and money? I guess buying off the person you want would be cheaper. If some country wanted to hire the Freescale guys then promising each $1m/yr would probably be cheaper and significantly less risky.
What's it's like to be on HN front page for 20 hours
One might think that electric power-assist bicycles would be a greater prize for the greenhearted, but it turns out that the Tesla S is a lot more fun to own, despite being far more wasteful of Earth's precious natural resources.

The perpetual pissing contest to decide who is the greenest often focuses too much on what is visible and demonstrable, rather than the things which are less noticeable but more effective.

Trading up from a Prius to a Tesla might earn you some green cred, but moving your home closer to your usual travel destinations and supporting commuter mass transit somehow doesn't generate the same prestige.

I'm happy for Tesla, and sad for Toyota, but given my budget, this contest for customers is a bit above my notice.

I have no specific knowledge of airplane systems, but I wonder if the airplane's computers could have been hacked to produce the disappearance? It would explain why so much effort would go into the planning, with the plane then appearing to be dumped in the indian ocean. The hacker would not have been on the plane, and the indian ocean is deep enough to make recovery and diagnosis of the hack difficult. It might explain how such a precisely timed sequence of events occurred.

I wonder if someone on HN has an understanding of what kind of safeguards go in to preventing a fly-by-wire system from being compromised. Presumably systems like communication, cabin pressure, navigation, etc are separated. Perhaps some of them are not software-based, and thus could not be compromised (but maybe their power could?)

It seems really unlikely, but so do most other theories.
> an idea that sounds stupid on its face

It still sounds stupid on its face. As I recall, Ricardo said England produced textiles, and Portugal produced wine, and both countries were each economically better off for their own specialization.

Joan Robinson revisited this idea a century later and asked, how did that turn out economically for Portugal, which remained a backward, agriculturally based nation while England began an industrialization program, partly based around the industrialization of its textile industry?
It doesn't allow use of digital ink on Mac. I'm quite disappointed in this. In older versions on Windows one could drag and drop PDFs and images. You can't on the Mac version.

The layout is great and it looks and feels like a slick application. If you are doing notes via typing and don't have to insert many images then this will be a great application for you. It beats Circus Ponies in look and feel and is much more intuitive than Circus Ponies. But it is missing two great features and as such I'll be sticking with Circus Ponies.

When my coworkers said this 5 years ago, I asked this question: Would you drive your beater truck that you use for hauling mulch, lumber and the like every single day to work instead of the sedan you drive now? Different vehicles have different roles. Someone who can afford a $100k car can afford to rent, fly or take a train to cover the long distances. At the present prices the Model S isn't suitable for most middle class Americans. But, as the cost of the car goes down, the range of the car goes up, and the charge time goes down, it'll make more sense in the future for a middle class family to consider a Tesla or comparable electric car.

Me too. I think there could be a sizable market for a tablet or app that does notetaking and handwriting really well. The iPad seems limited by its touchscreen tech/software, which seems to be optimized for fingers and not fine-tipped digital pens.

Which app and pen do you use for handwriting notes on your iPad? I've tried a few but I haven't liked any of the input interfaces. Writing in a small area of the screen is cramped, but when the whole screen is available to write (e.g. Paper, the drawing app) I find my arm constantly getting in the way.
Owning a Tesla doesn't give you much green cred in my book.
Not all of us using .NET use LINQ without any oversight or thought. It's a great tool and needs to be used wisely.

For example, all queries that are generated for database calls via LINQ are reviewed and analyzed to make sure its what is expected.

You are right, LINQ is not magical and was never meant to be. I don't think using LINQ is an automatic ticket to leave your brain at the door.

In your case, it's easier to blame the tech and stop using it than to take responsibility for training the team to be better developers.

I would also imagine that on this team the use of var was also restricted?

Just reading the first sentence was enough for me. Apple has a good enough marketing team already; they don't need to have Time Magazine do this.

They praise his "humility" in the subtitle text, and then go on to say all these things. Incredibly stupid.

Creator of Genius Scan [1] here: we are one of the launch partners of OneNote and integrating with the API was easy. Team is also super responsive and "startup" like.

To address the "one way" API limitation, I would expect Microsoft to add more endpoints over time and I think it's not a bad strategy to start with that one. Adding a way to post notes to OneNote already enabled a lot of cool integrations...

As an outsider (PhD student in a quantitative field, no relation to physics), the experimental physics community really strikes me as a class act. High standards for statistical significance, vigorously working to rule out mundane explanations before publishing data, outlining which statistical tests will be performed before data is collected...I'm a fan.

"In fact, the researchers were so startled to see such a blaring signal in the data that they held off on publishing it for more than a year, looking for all possible alternative explanations for the pattern they found." That's pretty amazing; as far as I can tell, such caution is less typical in e.g. the brain sciences.

I tried very hard to be in the python3 camp. I'm among those who found the changes to be mostly good ones, and I've talked myself into biting the bullet a couple of different times, but it always turns out the same.

Last month I gave up and reverted the project I'm working on now back to python2 after spending an afternoon looking for unofficial ports of a large library only to find that someone on Github had forked it, done the hard work of fixing 2200 broken bits, and had his pull request ignored without comment for a full year.

> So basically the issue Google is trying to solve, is that in the US where the telecom market is completely failed, there aren't any ISPs which has DNS servers complying to the actual DNS spec or RFC 1035?

I've personally experienced dodgy DNS in US, Europe, and Asia. It's not a regional issue so much as a question of market failures: you don't buy a home router based on the quality of its DNS implementation and businesses which offer WiFi certainly don't, and many ISPs figure that NXDOMAIN hijaacking will cost them only a vanishingly small percentage of customers, if any, and see it as a net win.

If any of those apply to you, you have the choice of either going through a frustrating, likely futile, attempt to get the network fixed or you add 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 to your DNS server list and never think about it again.

The CT200h has been on the market for several years now. It's a nice car. But, it still isn't a Tesla. It is literally a short-wheelbase Prius with a slightly upscale interior. And is priced accordingly (mid-$30k to the Prius' upper-$20k).

Lexus also offers the RX SUV in hybrid. Probably one of the most popular vehicles in the DC area. We have the gas version. Very nice. But, not a performance vehicle.
They have CT 200h, which is basically a rebadged Prius. Pretty common around SF at least.
