What I don't like about Roam is its slow load time. Also writing does not feel snappy enough - if that makes any sense. I feel a slight delay at times between typing a key and seeing the character on screen. Every time that happens I like Roam a little less. I've never experienced that with an app like iaWriter, and as a result, even for all its lack of features, every time I use iaWriter I like it a little more.
I think what Roam is missing for me, besides improving the writing performance, is a weekly email digest somehow summarizing my notes. This could use the bidirectional links and give me a quick overview of what I wrote for the week. That would help improve my memory and be more introspective.
Imagine if Duck Duck Go offered that by default?
> The first is the American consumer. When Americans buy, we spend dollars. This puts dollars in vendors’ hands. Those dollars can be reused for trade or invested, the latter supporting dollar financial markets. Both support dollar hegemony, which in turn drives its dominance in global trade and finance.
That has certainly not been my takeaway from history (though those could be more minor and related points)
My understanding is that most international trade was historically priced in dollars because the dollar became the world's reserve currency after Bretton Woods. Why it became the international currency is more complex, but to the best of my knowledge it is because:
1. The US was in strong monetary shape compared to the rest of the world after WWII
2. The US held many foreign assets after that war (was a creditor to the world)
3. The US held most of the world's gold after that war

i keep a www group (~folder) and add web archives and bookmarks to it. it's become a local internet for me.
i first search there for anything i found useful or interesting in the past. that cuts out a lot of the noise i see on google. if i can't find it in devonthink, then i visit google.
i also use devonthink with iawriter to store notes and loose thoughts, but i keep those in a separate group. [2]

The US Fed is at 0% interest rates and there is increasing speculation they might go to negative interest rates. There are already other central banks around the world in negative interest rate territory.How do you prosper under a situation like that? What would you do or plan to do?For example, should I stop saving? Should I put my savings elsewhere? Should I take out loans to buy up assets?...
If much of this money is effectively going into the stock market - either via credit to public corporations or direct stock purchases by the Fed - is that most likely where maximal gains might occur?
Amazon is also another example of using long form writing - specifically in the context of meetings. [0]
There is a great little book - Daily Rituals [0] - that goes into many artists' and scientists' daily habits. The habits are very much along the same lines as your thought - they are workflows for how the individual tends to think best.
I'd love to see someone put together a website or book that did that in the context of software engineers' workflows. Does someone know if a resource like that already exists?
