I've been using Evernote for years and it's great. Everything is in notebooks/subnotebooks AND tags. Their search is great. I mostly store technical how-to's and notes on books I'm reading and subjects I'm learning. Their UI is great and a joy to browse the notes... I did try Roam and I get the promise of bi-directional Nirvana but so far just for productivity and getting stuff done.. Evernote is just fine... shrug
Had a similar problem with feeling betrayed by authority figures when I was called in to be questioned about a hacking incident while in middle school just because I was good at VB in programming glass. Can really ruin a kid's confidence for years to come in case anyone in such position is reading this now.
Exactly, from radiation to muscle loss - humans are simply not meant to live in space. BUT - it doesn't mean we won't eventually, especially if forced off Earth due to some human made or natural catastrophy. Humans may need to evolve for space living though. It may take many generations of evolution and adaptation and natural selection.

Heh, imagine a comma "and yes, men, to do anything productive"
In 2050s they'll look at today's smart phone selfies and wonder why people liked these smooth skin auto glamour edited fakes so much. Then the androids will chuckle to themselves and move on.

Them: There seems to have been a misunderstanding. We thought it was clear that we'll be equal partners in this startup. You get 3% equity which is MORE than generous given that this is my life's dream I'm sharing with you (here's a 5yr NDA btw restricting you from working anywhere else in the same industry for that duration of time). So go ahead and start asap. We have all the ideas and you do all the coding, for free, this is called skin in the game. Then after the product works we'll all make lots of money! That's why none of us take any salary. We all work. Us by providing ideas and you by coding hard and giving 110%. Also please sign here stating that you are not an employee but a contractor, even though we'll call you an employee and treat you as such.

What do you recommend instead?
Don't fret, the poor will be herded up into space to mine the asteroids eventually.
No one mentioned Franz that integrates a boat load of chat services into one desktop window??? Been using it for years.

After going through one pregnancy she gave up on this stalling tactic. Must have looked at the baby and figured children weren't worth the ROI.
Re:Is Hacker News a good predictor of future tech trends? on Tuesday August 24, 2021 @11:04AM (#28289774)
Found the millionaire.
Essential to whom? For example, I used to be a consumerist pig, but when I trimmed the fat by deleting YouTube, Reddit, FB Messenger, Whatsapp and Instagram off my phone, I suddenly felt like I could breathe again. Now I spend my time during the day doing the things I love (hobbies).

P.S. I've kept HN because, you know... the last bastion of reasonable discourse.

Is it, though?
It takes months for a large org just to prepare for a disaster recovery test. Wiping everything clean for a chain of this size is likey unthinkable. It's probably cheaper to just pay, resume operations and patch afterwards.
woosh.
That would actually provide useful information instead of just spreading fear mongering which... wasn't the intention of this article.
Not when you've paid $10/fancy pencil.
Re:Ask HN: Alternatives to Google Photos? on Sunday May 30, 2021 @10:23PM (#27339335)
Moved all content to Synology. Then tried Photos and Moments but eventually settled on Photoprism for open source, ease of use, features and UI.
