Relevant link for those who want more context on the constantly broken McDonald icecream machine situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrDEtSlqJC4

I don't think the WIRED article isn't really doing justice to what Kytch is trying to show. The important argument is whether or not McDonald and Taylor conspired to prevent Kytch from selling / franchisees from purchasing this equipment, essentially a 'right to repair' argument.

If Kytch wins, there could be ramifications for the tractor debate in the agricultural world as well.

As someone who has looked into alternative data business models for the finance industry, this is really awesome to see someone doing this as a company. I was interested to understand how you think about your revenue model? I feel that if your data provides alpha (i.e. selling before other people are aware of the problematic disclosures), as your models become validated within the industry, someone/some firm is going to use it to generate alpha. But then you have a problem where, that one firm that captures most of the value, and takes it from other participants who now lose the value-add of your product.

How do you balance those two sides? I mean it as a potential customer who would love to pay for your product, but want to understand how you prevent this becoming a alpha-generating NLP strategy for one hedge firm who pays the most for it.

This deserves more attention that it gets. The article on Bill Gates father led me to reading about the Omniprocessor and other similar projects. This project has now spun off into a company called 374 Water. https://www.374water.com/

I read that the Model F keyboard were supposed to emulate the feel of the Selectric keyboard. Haven't bought one before, but heard a lot about these: https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/store/

I found some videos on youtube that give a more visual explanation of this:

I really think it's this. Tech jobs are seen as the remaining 'good' jobs while automation and technology eats away at everything. So it is I imagine reasonable that the public at large wants the share of these economic opportunities to be diverse, like the population that the tech companies themselves serve.

I'd invite everyone to take a look at the picture in above link, but I don't think it's "nothing but white women" as the grandparent comment suggests.

Maybe it's not this picture, but just want to make sure the criticism is on the right thing.

First, a huge shoutout to @laurent22 who still tirelessly pushes out new code for the community.

I use Joplin everyday, I switched over about a year ago from a Dropbox-sync'd markdown files edited in Sublime.

I really like Joplin for a few things:

- Source files are in markdown, no vendor lock-in*

- It has the actual HTML rendering in the editor, and allows you to toggle easily

- Android version works quite well, even the syncing!

- Supports tags

- You can add links to different notes by right clicking on a note and selecting `Copy Markdown Link`

- Of the many open-source solutions I've tried, it's probably the only one that works out of the box with a nice mobile app! Kudos

It's not meant for

- To-do list: I tried putting my todo-list in here. It's a bit too free form for that, with no support for dates

A few things it does, which should be of note:

- *Note are not stored nested in the way they are presented on the left in the notebooks. Rather everything is a markdown file (including notebooks) with metadata stored at the top of the markdown file

- You could individually edit files and there is a 'watch' function to open up the note in another editor, it's not really possible for external editors to edit the whole notebook.
