Ask HN: Why is it so hard to manage tabs long term in my browser?
I want to be able to tag tabs and windows, and be able to not only hide tags, but be able to restore them when I unhide them.

I want to be able to do this in a cloud-synced way, and enforce tags in windows (such as if a window is tagged #foo, only #foo tags can be in it), and be able to automatically update things sanely, such as if I open a #foo tag, its automatically added to the #foo list, so if I have a #foo window open elesewhere the tab is also opened there.

I want my browser to be less annoying and more useful to deal with tasks, however, the closest thing I have is "bookmark all tabs into a folder" and "open bookmark folder in new window" which is very cumbersome, and that is just an unworkable model.
Or the guys with umbrellas making sure you don't get splashed by the guy washing the window once story up. Or the guy with a glow-stick warding you away from walking into an already signed road/pavement repair.

It's odd - we don't even need robots for these jobs, they are simply pointless. Perhaps they are made possible by large-scale underemployment due to automation in other areas.
What I would sometimes really, really like to wear at work, is a three-piece suit, minus the jacket. So smart suit trousers, a well ironed tailored (i.e. made to measure) shirt with a good tie, and a waistcoat. The waistcoat ensures that the tie doesn't flap, and also neatly covers the join twixt shirt and trousers - no unsightly loose shirt on display (because, if you wear a shirt, it's going to loosen as you move around). Shirt sleeves folded back from the cuffs (which require cuff-links to join, such that when not joined they're free enough to fold back smartly) and the sleeve prevented from loosening unduly with a discrete sleeve garter.

Look smart, feel smart, and a clear separation for me between dressing for work (and thus being in professional work mode - this would be advantageous to my employer), and dressing for not work. As it is, at my current place, I can dress like this, which is nice.

However, the majority of tech places seem to have strict dress codes (brilliantly, hidden behind protestations that there's totally no dress code, no no no, although last week we [1] didn't hire someone because he wore a suit to the interview, but that's not for violating the dress code at a job he didn't even work at, no no no), and someone dressing smartly rather than the uniform of jeans/chinos and t-shirt, would cause uncertainty and unsettlement amongst the workers, many of whom would not be able to effectively work with someone who is not just like them.

[1] General case "we". If I ever hear someone come out of interviewing a candidate and suggest that dressing smartly was a negative, I go absolutely. Nuts. Hasn't happened for a very long time.
Four fifths of f-all in comparison to the inconvenience. It's entirely related to monetising the whole thing, rather than giving it away online for free.

Another possibility is to try to keep it honest and submit a "Show HN" and making it clear in the answers that you are related to the startup. But read the ShowHN guidelines https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

I don't think so - it certainly doesn't feel like security theatre to me. Minecraft never had to worry about COPPA; Notch never set out to create a game targeted explicitly at children (it's just since found a huge market there) and player tend to host Minecraft servers themselves, which neatly side-steps a lot of the issues.

I work in an area of the industry that does regularly make multiplayer games and apps for kids. A number of clients have commissioned MMO style games through us, but their visions are usually optimistic and centred around letting kids play and explore freely. Without extensive guidance from us, they'd often want to allow things like free chat within a game world without getting explicit parental consent first - which is great for building a community of players and allowing them to interact, but a nightmare to police adequately. It requires a lot of moderation overhead, which comes with technology and staffing costs that might not be otherwise expected.

This isn't just another "think of the children!" style blanket statement with no real thought behind it. There is a real threat here. Most users in an young online community are kids who interact constructively. There might be occasional bits of swearing or abuse, but that's not really a problem. Kids enjoy breaking social taboos because it's naughty and funny. I really don't think that poses a danger in any way, although it can do damage to a brand if it becomes prevalent and public enough.

There are though a small number of adult sexual offenders that attempt to target and exploit children using these services. They do exist, and they are persistent and very difficult to defend against. I've worked closely with a number of companies that provide third party moderation tools that attempt to profile and flag such offenders through fairly sophisticated language profiling. It's difficult; there are certain otherwise innocuous words that offenders use to avoid writing anything directly incriminating. I don't worry too much about children shouting out "Penis!" in a chat room. I do worry about them divulging their home address, or agreeing to a meet somewhere, or (more commonly) being coerced into a webcam chat.

We don't need studies to attempt to see where lack of thought in this area can lead; we have actual events. There's a famous example in Habbo Hotel, where lack of adequate moderation led to a scandal the ended up with the owners turning off chat entirely (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18424400). Had there been protection laws enforced in that example, Habbo might not have ended up in that situation and its young players might not have been sexually exploited (http://www.brentwoodgazette.co.uk/Billericay-sports-coach-Ma...).

I'm sure the law will be (as usual) slow to react to change. But I'd rather it there than have no protection at all. It doesn't take malice to expose children to danger - just careless product design. There needs to be some legal liability to provide pressure to stop that happening.
Kickstarters never hit the front page on HN, but I wish this one would. This is one of those tiny revolutions that really change how technology itself progresses.

> Because it 'protects' against a company raising say 1m on notes, and growing to a 30m valuation series A. You also get the debt preference in case of acquihires and early exits.

Good point about the acquihires, which is a case I hadn't thought of. But for anyone building a real business I only see it as a disadvantage.

Consider three scenarios:

1> angels get equity (series "pre-A"). Set a price. Now the next round values the company at 30M pre -- they get a small chunk of a company worth a lot, and that has a good chance of being worth a lot more in future.

2> Angels don't set a price: Now the next round values the company at 30M pre -- they get a 20% larger chunk of a company worth a lot, and that has a good chance of being worth a lot more in future.

3> Angels put a cap which has now become a de facto price, say 10M. Now the next round values the company possibly at 30M pre -- but especially due to the "anchoring" effect of having a number out there it's maybe 20 pre. They get perhaps more of a smaller company, and the founders get diluted more (since the new investor still wants their percentage -- the growth comes out of the founders' hide.

This creates a conflict of alignment between the note holders and the founders.

These caps are typically unheard of on bridges and other debt instruments companies take on later (except for dying companies) because the preferred shareholders know full well how destructive they are. So why subject the founders to these terms. Because they are naïve and you know you can get away with it?

> For institutional investors, all they now only make the discount return on the note, while for an angel, well all you get is to participate at the series A.

All kinds of entities get the same terms on the note. Both get the discount.

> Bad for the company, great for investors.

Yes, that's precisely how I see the cap.

Don't forget that most of these people come from very tribal regions and backgrounds. In many places where they come from, a rape of, let's say a Christian women, that walks openly dressed and unaccompanied on the street would be considered not a big thing.

Many ideas the west has sound really absurd to these people.

Why does Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Dubai, Emirates and so on not take these "refugees"? Based on their language, food requirements and religion this should be a much better fit. Yet, it would sound absurd to this countries letting them in and "feeding them for free'. Why? Because they are tribal systems as well.
STEM (by which I'm guessing you simply mean computers) is suffering the exact entry by MOPs and sociopaths that the article describes. In addition to the hardcore geeks we used to have, we now have a lot of lightweight techies who aren't deeply interested, and a lot of non-techies calling themselves techies because it seems cool (e.g., "growth hackers").

We used to have Paul Graham and Alexis Ohanian, now we have Sam Altman and Ellen Pao - pretty definitively sociopaths by the definition of the article.

NRX (which explicitly rejects libertarianism, BTW) is a good example of putting up barriers to entry. My political views are significantly influenced by them (their critiques of democracy are spot on), but I'd be pretty explicitly denounced if I were to sufficiently publicly call myself one.
Not really. Macro expansion occurs during its own phase of compilation (which, in my experience, is generally really fast).
I thought about this about falling. Kids do fall all the time, but instead of anticipating failure, they go all in for "success" (whatever success can be for a kid). More momentum is created, diffusing energy in a smoother way. The mindset shutting down the brain for the "negative" aspects of the situation, because it came from a desire not from fear.

I have similar thoughts when playing music, whenever I get a nice sound, I don't feel pain or exhaustion, but every time I fail it suddenly become tiresome.

I read posts like yours and it really saddens me. It's hard for me to respond without sounding insulting or condescending, but you are wrong on pretty much every word you write. Unfortunately, you are probably the victim of biased writing about Japan.

For just one example, go here: http://www.us.emb-japan.go.jp/english/html/travel_and_visa/t...

Scroll down to the section about getting a working visa. Have a look at what is required to get such a visa and compare it to your own country. (Hint: you need a university degree and a job offer -- after that you're pretty much golden). In contrast I can't even take my Japanese wife home to Canada without paying $1500 and waiting 12-18 months to get health insurance and working privileges. I've lived in Canada, the US, the UK and Japan and Japan is by far the country with the laxest immigration policy.

If you were to research the topic, you would discover that the low fertility rate is mostly due to the fact that the average age of marriage is 29.7. The average age of a first child is 30.3. Women in Japan live with their parents until they get married for the most part. Usually they work so they are both rich and free and not particularly interested in getting married (or having children).

Have a look at this graph of the average age of women having their first child in the UK: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/10/20/article-2051374-0E... (source is the Daily Mail... sorry, but I'm sure you can find a similar graph from a reputable source if your are bothered to look harder than me).

The west is catching on to a good thing and following Japan's lead. Just like Japan, as women take less traditional roles in society the fertility rates drop. It is practically the opposite of "extremely traditional values leading to very low fertility".

I'm sure you've read plenty of pieces in the BBC or the Japan Times talking about how backward it is here. I'm sure you've heard many people talk about xenophobia in Japan because the immigrant population is very small. But in reality, like all stereotypes it is a small seed of truth covered up by a mountain of BS.

It is true that the population is aging here. What young people there are seem to be flooding to big cities too, leaving a pretty big gap in the agricultural industry. There are definitely going to be problems. I often wonder if Japan will keep its position in the G8 (currently 3rd largest economy by GDP). I'm not sure that it matters all that much, though.

Japan will be fine even if it is not a world economic super power. Life here is extremely good -- even for an immigrant like me. I don't think it will change that much.

My point is that the cap is mathematically equivalent to a liq pref, but worse, it's one that is applied up front (before a liquidation event, so its a conversion pref).

5405 RPM? I'd like to see a source on that. I did a search, and was irritated to find only people on other websites parroting that number. The Wikipedia article has it, but the citation is WD's own spec sheet which doesn't mention any number.

Did someone take a non-contact digital tachometer to a (presumably dead) opened one and measure it? 5405 is only 0.093% more than 5400 and within the tolerance of the measuring device (and the HDD spindle motor also has its own rotational speed tolerance.)

Edit: found this benchmark using a software that appears to estimate spindle speed, and it basically shows it as being a 5400RPM drive:

Coursera is phasing out free certificates
I am, and thanks :)

I haven't got to the point of doing any benchmarks, but according to the author, it is slower than plain OCaml. I've only written a couple of toy programs (a Swing GUI in OCaml!)

I am, however, very impressed by the implementation. The author wrote an OCaml library that emits Java bytecode, and then modified the OCaml compiler to emit bytecode. He then ran the compiler on itself, and got an OCaml implementation on the JVM written completely in OCaml (plus some runtime classes in Java).

The author, who used to work at INRIA told me he's now working on a startup using OCaml-Java.
It seems like dynamic programming languages end up implementing decorators. To specify types it would be better to specify them in the parameters instead of adding a few lines.
This reminds me of the Berlin Jewish Museum's "Ask a Jew" project / exhibition (most, though not all, of the people who objected were not jewish).

From my experience, that is not exactly it. It's not confusion of social signals per say, rather it's the amplification of these signals that causes anxiety. It's the over analyzing and excessive processing the brain does that causes anxiety.

From my experience, MDMA eases the mind, and fills it with empathy, love and connectedness to others (or release the molecules necessary for this). Under this state, it's not hard to see how one could temporarily break free of their 'normal anxious' state.
Sounds bit like the problems SmallTalk has encountered with their image files etc.
What's amazing is that the US penal system acts the way it does even when these examples have been on the planet for decades and the benefits clearly visible. It also seems that the general consensus among psychologists and psychiatrists is that the current system damages people and does nothing to achieve its alleged aims. Running a third world penal system only burdens our society in so many ways, and it's even officially named in the third-world/soviet/despotic style of calling it something it's not: a "correctional" system.

> But these are probably among worst offenders given that there are only 250.

While Halden is a maximum security prison, it's also highly focused on rehabilitation, so it's not necessarily where the worst offenders are (Breivik is at Ila for instance, which can hold 124 people).

Halden is actually a fairly big prison by norwegian standard I think, the capacity of the whole Norwegian prison system is a bit below 4000 (77 per 100000 citizens, the current incarceration rate is 72 per 100000 according to wikipedia).
