> Google Keep let's you quickly capture what's on your mind.

Google already knows who my friends are, what they email me, what I look for, and now it wants to know what's on my mind as well. The service can be convenient, but it creeps me a bit that Google wants to aggregate even more information on me.
This was launched months ago
Been using keep for all my notes for a while now. Did something happen to make it worth posting this today?
For anyone else who wants to know what this is without signing in: http://www.google.com/keep/

It looks like Google's taking on Evernote with Keep.
> Even today, I'm not sure if a function that returns a list (not list ref) can be directly dereferenced into via [] notation.

Unless it's changed very recently, you cannot; you have to wrap it in an arrayref, e.g.

Googler #1: "We've managed to capture everyone's video watching habits, email, activities via Calendar, audio and video calls, browsing habits, what they're looking at via Glass, and where they are via Maps. But there's a major hole in our knowledge: we don't know what people are thinking".

Googler #2: "Let's get people to tell us. We'll call it Keep and give it the tag line: 'Google Keep lets you quickly capture what’s on your mind.'"

I've been thinking about finding an app like this for a while. This is an ok implementation, but I think it's too rigid. Something like this should be messier and give the user some more freedom to arrange stuff the way he wants. More like an actual desk and less like a list of notes. Does anyone know of an app like that?

One thing I realized is that you can share several safe internet sites on a public SSID.

For example you could share Google and duckduckgo searches
you can also share Wikipedia. You can also share access to well known VPN services.

So you put in an iptables rules for the guest SSID interface.

This is not a fully open net and all respect to those who build it but I am a bit affraid what sites users might surf on and as it now law enforcement assume ip==user who did things.
This URL exists since long now.
Following the Noether theorem, conservation of momentum follows from uniformity of space (translation symmetry), i.e. for an experimental result it doesn't matter whether it takes place here or some light years away. Although we have some astronomical hints for that and it is a compelling hypothesis (in light of Occams razor) this is not necessarily the case. Finally, the concept of conservation of momentum is a theory for which we have compelling evidence in that nobody has been able to falsify that. But this doesn't necessarily mean that this holds for all times.
Looks like this is competing with Trello. But, if the goal is productivity as opposed to social widgetry, the latter is light years ahead IMO.

According to the abstract of the paper they found a similar but smaller effect on the dummy unit.
Well this brings back memories. I took an AS/400 class in college (local tech school) since that was the only way to learn SQL back then; none of the other CIS classes offered database programming. The class was geared towards prepping the student for working at one of two companies in the area that hired AS/400 programmers, so it was very narrowly focused to their needs.

I have to say, that was a simultaneously challenging and frustrating experience. It soured me on being a programmer of any sort, and I ended up shifting to network administration as a field of study. I'm glad I did.

All that said, this seems like a generous and handy service for those who need it.
If you have some kind of hosting, it's your duty to either code your own Google Keep or find some open source project.

No reason to depend on Google for this kind of stuff. They'll probably ditch it at some point anyway.
I love it. Your implementation is exactly what I think these apps should be: simple, extreme minimalism of UI, and light weight.
Google "entering evidence at trial" and then click on just about any of the first ten results. They all lay out roughly the same procedure.
Your second example is exactly what I had in mind. It reminds me of the final group listed in this quote from General Kurt Von Hammerstein-Equord:

"I divide my officers into four groups. There are clever, diligent, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and diligent -- their place is the General Staff. The next lot are stupid and lazy -- they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the intellectual clarity and the composure necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is stupid and diligent -- he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always cause only mischief."
Perhaps you'd prefer the tyranny of the minority?

Majority rule is a feature (or bug) of democracy. If you disagree with the prevailing views of the, in your words, tyrannical, majority, then you need to be more vocal, not less, in order to foster change. Yes, there will be consequences, but depending on the strength of your conviction and the fundamental correctness of your (minority) views, change can be brought about. Cases in point: Gandhi, MLK and leaders of other social movements who did it. At great personal price, yes, but nonetheless, did create change.

TL;DR: Put up or Shut up. Change comes at a price.
It happens with humans in general, probably one of the cognitive fallacies. Whenever we gain new knowledge, we get infatuated with it and for the period of infatuation we block out everything else. It could be any kind of knowledge gain - "Hey I know the shortest path to office and I don't care what path you take or suggest, mine is the best one".

My message would be this: "It is amazing what we know or learned, but what is more amazing is the stuff we don't know yet - so be curious, not infatuated".

The point is, that if something is illegal for one party, it's illegal for all. The point isn't that the USSR crimes are ok because Nazi Germany did it, it's that if it is a crime for the USSR then it must be a crime for Nazi Germany, or the UK, or the US.

This, of course, isn't how the world works. But if you believe it should be, it's hard to accept the Russians are the only ones who have crimes to answer for - they just seem to be the only ones being brought to account.
Two problems with your solution: No backups in case of loss/theft and having to carry around extra items all the time. I'd rather use a phone to take notes.
I'm happy to see this. I'm only in my 20s so I haven't grown up with mainframe computing in my life, but I did get to use both an AS/400 and z/OS about 5 years ago. I've been tweeting and emailing into the dark asking IBM to just provide a free VM of one of these so I can at least play around and learn about them more. I was just getting into assembly on one when I lost access.
No, you're right, that's the bigger aspect. Brad Smith mentioned Riley in an earlier press release about the case, so I imagine it figures into their argument to some extent too.

I don't think Google Keep is anywhere near a competitor of Evernote. Keep is a different class of application. More of a to do list or quick note manager. Whereas evernote is a full blown digital notebook with an extensive feature list. Its like comparing Microsoft One Note to the iPhone notepad.

Right?
Looking for Evernote self-hosted replacements I found these for now:

The second one I think doesn't have private notes, so lacks something very important. Nice bases to build something more robust, though
Thanks for the detailed answer.. Also, Hype is awesome. :-)
I think if you are good technically, you should aspire to grow on technical front rather than aspiring or actually moving to managerial role. There are technical managers but in the long run the management part of the role tends to eat into the innovative,experimenting technical side of your personality. If you think you can balance it well then no harm in becoming a technical manager.
I did more or less exactly this - after two years working as a developer, I pushed myself into a "team leader" position, managing a team of half a dozen people in one location and semi-managing a few others in a different location. I did this for about 18 months for a large (and fast growing) organisation.

I managed to negotiate about 25% of my time for development (some of it quite high-level architecture, but often still writing actual code); the rest was personnel management, planning and organisation, liaising with sales and project management, sometimes attending sales pitches, and training other teams. I actually had a great time, met people from all over the organisation, got some travel out of it, and learnt a hell of a lot, almost all of which has been beneficial to me later in my career.

Personnel management was definitely a real challenge - in ways I absolutely had not predicted (we had some, shall we say, "interesting" characters on the team, and I got to know the HR people very well by the end of it).

After 18 months, I moved to another company to take a role which ostensibly should have been similar but ended up migrating back into a more-or-less pure development role as a technical lead. The skills I learnt then - especially anything to do with personnel, sales, and planning - are still extremely useful to me as a software consultant / small business guy today.

I don't know if this route is for everyone - I was already naturally pretty confident and articulate, and for developers who aren't especially born that way, I think a lot of management tasks and managerial expectations are probably scary and unpleasant. But for me, at least, I enjoyed it and have few complaints.
In conversation I have on occasions defended Putin even though I dislike his policies. People seem to give their own countries the benefit of the doubt based on the context at the time,

For example, within the UK David Cameron championed laws in the 80s that made it illegal for goverment to publish material that could promote homosexuality. People shrug off resposibility for this by telling you that "it was a different time". Russia has introduced laws that are not dissimilar to widespread outrage. Whilst we are right to campaign against such things you cannot expect a country to modernise instantly overnight or welcome outside interference.

People should be reminded that all countries are following a path, and some countries are further along than others. The west does not have a monopoly on justice.
sure it is not perfect, but whenever I used a digital note taking thing I felt I was using the app to procrastinate rather than doing the real work. It might just be me, but it does not happen with a classical note book + I can scribble in it as well.
Looks a lot like Trello! Trello was recently in news for good reason. Seems now Google's time to catchup with everything!
And the additional benefit of an overpriced glorified notepad.
I would guess that they want the default behaviour and user experience different to OpenWRT's goals.

The best thing about a 2650x1440 monitor is that all my Google Keep to do lists fit on the screen without scrolling. I feel so much better now.
Exactly. Extremely simple with tones of different solutions... It's just a side-project with no income that soon will be discharged.
Evernote and OneNote are much more than list taking apps. I think Keep competes more with Apple's Notes than anything else.

Starting a debate by immediately framing anyone who disagrees with you as an apologist and their arguments as false equivalencies (you mean "equivalances" by the way) is neither helpful to good debate, nor going to persuade anyone.

You don't have to stretch out your reading very far to discover that lots of news sites, especially outside the USA, are flooded with comments from people who have been posting to them for years and yet are deeply skeptical about the current wave of anti-Russian stories being pumped by western media. This isn't being "pro Putin", it's about realising that our own governments are so deeply and nauseatingly hypocritical that anything they say can be safely assumed to be the opposite of the truth.

E.g. whilst the western media is busy trying to claim that only evil authoritarian Russians would be so draconian as to forbid anonymous blogging, the NSA is busy de-anonymizing any blogger or any other internet user they wish bypassing the systems of law and democracy entirely. Is that really a false equivalence, or is it just pointing out the painful and obvious truth?
I see far more comments complaining about "apologists" and "brainwashed" than comments I think are actually Putin apologists.

"The US does bad things as well" is not Putin apologia but a sincere plea for the US to recognise the idea of universally applicable international human rights law.
And you can't share it easily with others (unless you are in the same physical place and are willing to lose your copy, or make a backup by hand)
You convince car people to support transit with arguments like: Adding another lane to the freeway encourages people to take more cars. It actually doesn't reduce congestion on the freeway much; the primary effect of adding lanes to the freeway is to increase congestion on secondary roads. The best way to reduce congestion so that you can drive to work faster is transit. Every person riding a bus is somebody not driving a car, clogging up your lane.
And you can't capture images (unless you're a great artist - and even then, it'll be very slow)
And you can't save audio recordings
Oh, it's that device? The one that was on the cover of New Scientist at some point? We (i.e. the lecturer) mocked that in physics lectures (mostly on a "look at the shit New Scientist publishes..." sidetrack). It may also have claimed perpetual motion, while it was at it.

If there really is some quantum interaction, then this becomes interesting, but from momentum alone the contributions from the sides of the box always exactly cancel the resultant from the mismatched plates (by definition of a closed box).

Given the history of Google Reader, everyone using this and expecting stuff to last is probably a moron.
I agree very much with your sentiment, but that quote by Newton is actually far more mean-spirited than you think. It was Newton making a huge burn about Hooke, one of his main scientific rivals, who was actually very very short.

Newton was possibly the greatest intellect that humanity ever produced, but he was not a nice person.

The motion that cars are a private, free market form of transport while trains are public, left wing sort of transportation is interesting.

Roads are publicly funded and owned just like tracks are. The cars themselves are privately owned, so I guess that's market points for cars. But, trains involve a direct transaction that (partially) funds the facility in a user-pays way. Roads are funded by taxes. They try to use registration and petrol taxes that are related to use of roads but it's still a tax, not a normal transaction. If you drive on a private road, you still pay petrol tax and the taxes can't be tied to use of a specific road. I'd say that's market points to the trains.

Getting to the more fuzzy trains have a social egality to them. Everyone sits in the same cars looking at each other, sharing space. You end up squished against people of races, creeds & classes that you mightn't associate with normally. They're seen as environmental which is left wing. They're inclusive of the marginal people who can't afford to drive, are to young or otherwise unable.

Cars have a personal liberty aspect to them. Your car. Your space. Your rules. Go where you want, when you want. Open roads. Wind in your hair. They don't have a schedule set by someplace else or stops decided on by some comitee. Cars are status symbols and and opportunity to show wealth. Car ownership is something to aspire to. They're symbols of the great capitalist/industrial age.

I have interesting associations with the late 19th & early 20th centuries, the formative years of trains and cars. I associate the industry of the late 19th more with socialist symbols. The plight of the working man, Marxism (pre-Lenin and the east-west associations), early labour movements, decaying empires. Coal soot. Europe. I associate the early 20th industry with American ascension. Iconic technicolour images of manufacturing wealth pampering American housewives with vacuum cleaners and weekly trips to a beauty parlors. All the values of that time and place. A certain type of clean shaven naivety.

I can't quite put a thorough argument together, but I think the symbolism is interesting.
Actually, I know that a similar idea has been used before in late 19th century, earlier in the 20th century, except it was much cruder. Basically a section of the river was marked off by nets and people could swim in them. I know some resorts still use a similar method, but again the filtering is only for very large particles.

The hard part is the filtering. Developing an effective filtering method for such a large body of water would be an impressive achievement.

I don't believe this means much of anything, other than, "the working unit probably had coronal discharge, and the dummy didn't."

That's certainly a lot easier to believe than the result they got. If, on the other hand, they observed the same sized effect in a decent vacuum, I would be more inclined to believe it. The fact that this test didn't take place in a vacuum, despite already being in a vacuum chamber ought to make people wonder a bit.

Having fed microwaves into vacuum chambers my own self: if the torsion pendulum was already in there, there is absolutely no reason this experiment wasn't run in at least a rough vacuum. I can understand not going to UHV if the cavity things are dirty or have crap which outgasses, but there is no excuse for not running this experiment in a rough vacuum.

There is actually a history of "antigravity" researchers measuring coronal discharge.

Despite all the negativity here, Google is a decent choice. They take security seriously (TFA, PFS), offer clients for major platforms, and have the infrastructure.

It's tricky comparing public transport in your city to public transport in cities you visit as a tourist. Tourists don't travel during peak hours. They aren't as bothered (so they don't notice) a 10 minutes delay because they're not in a rush. They don't frequent residential areas so they may not experience the trickier journeys. A lot of cities are great from getting from suburbs to residential areas, but getting from one residential area to another is hard.
