I went down the physical-writing-digital-capture system over a 10 month period. Bought the right stylus tips, the paper-like screen cover, etc.

Ultimately went back to my moleskine that fits in my back pants pocket and I don't have to worry about battery life.

Perhaps the biggest reason why my experiment failed was that I found it difficult to look back at digital written notes beyond a week. There is no physical flip...

Equally important though, I didn't retain information quite as well when writing against a screen. I can't explain it. I wanted the system to work, but it didn't. Maybe I tried to write too verbose, more carefully than I would a paper page... hoping my more careful writing would be captured by OCR better. I don't know but it was different. Intended focus matters.

Less effort = more retention to me. Digital writing, at least at that time, was more effort to me it seems

Really thought provoking piece. There is a tendency in tech forward culture to glorify altered states as something worth finding and trying. To know something new is to gain. Huffing, particularly gasoline huffing, is an area I only know through humerus Always Sunny bits, never really contemplating the very real addiction and psychotic damage it causes. Im blessed to be insulated and unaware of what sounds like a painful problem in parts of the world. I think what hit me the most is the impact of reading a single book in highschool. On the early internet I hunted for and read any esoterica I could find. Secrets hidden in secrets, a gnostic cult of my own creation. It was fun, thrilling, to find a new blog to read about experiences I only could hope were truthful. Erowid filled that treasure for me in real ways. I don't know what to make of the negative impact a book and the right conditons made on the author. As my children get older I hope I can balance their desire to learn and self discover with safety. I learned more about what I don't know or understand in reading this. Powerful piece and a great share.

shudders does anyone pine for eclipes?

I haven't used it in a decade, Im sure it has has evolved

is the response also incorrect?

The most maddening part about this experience is the helplessness. Its inconvenient, sure. Ive been late because of traffic, etc. Being carried along well beyond my will without a breakglass: Fine, I'll just walk! option makes my skin crawl.

Events like this seem to only be explained by accountability sink[0]. Naming it gives me some brief sense of sanity.

I appreciate that there is a safety concern; where's the humanity in large systems, especially as we trend towards more automation?

Sprint was a technological wrong turn. They invested in the next generation platform on multiple occasions. Billions $ into WiMAX left them with a nonpractical and expensive footprint and no mid term speed benefits to really show. Then, after wanting to keep original CDMA infrastructure, they went LTE/GSM anyway. This period meant multiple modems and lower battery life. It was over with no great options.

requiring an email in order to download a privacy tool isnt a great start for anonymity. why should I trust this tool?

I dislike the phrasing here. The proper design of a warrant canary is to actively publish new messages on some time period. No one should have actively pulled the canary, they just didn't publish a new message.

This distinction, from my understanding, is important for legal reasons.

The only issue I have with Zoho is that their calendar solution falls well behind Google's. Between the scheduling, the Android widget, and notifications, it just really doesn't feel to have the same clarity as Google's.

Could just be my experience, but I'm considering moving back to Google for my personal email just for that.

> I wouldn't expect the microarchitectures that achieve this performance to be free (in either the "gratis" or "libre" senses of that word)

I agree with you on this as an eventuality of risc-v. But my casual following of the space leads me to believe that a high-performance open baseline of these architectures will be available and customization/special purpose of these archs will be for purchase.

I'm hopeful some of the benefits will be contributed upstream.

As long as there is some competition in the architecture space (ARM, x86, risc-v), the more likely builders will share gains upstream to compete against rival platforms.

That's my wishful thinking at least.

When in the last 30 years did the US Congress declare an act of war?

In the Android world, Samsung and Google support eachothers live picture format. As far as I can tell for Google they embed video in the picture, Samsung has their own format for this.

Im on an older version of android and the live photos dont have the snappiness of Apple's, but that could be a processor power issue or even stylistic choice. Particularly the length of the live photo is noticeably different.

Im not sure how Apple stores the live picture info, but having it crossplatform would be fantastic for services like these.

This is a valid concern, but what do you say to the current system that does not prevent all kinds of fraud. Perhaps even rampant with it. An easy search will show you that large regulated institutions participate and engage in fraud at all levels of their institution. Why is it that crypto must bear a larger burden of scrutiny against the status quo?

I believe that fraud is easier to identify and financially punish on public blockchains. Exchanges and other entities already have the ability to blacklist an address's assets and prevent them from off-ramping into fiat ms being used in future transfers. Businesses exist today to prevent payments of blacklisted assets. Compared to cash, blockchain based cryptoassets have more choice in enforcement against fraud. Also, crypto assets can be seen by all publicly on chain. It fairly easy to trace the work of cryptoasset fraudsters

Not OP, but perhaps they are referring to secure voting systems in general.

>No single person can set the amount of risks he wants to take, it has to be decided globally.

This is preposterous. Each individual must evaluate their own risk tolerance.

If you're waiting on the world to decide something for you, you're playing life as a waiting game.

Please don't shame people for having a different risk tolerance than you.

I am certain that the non-profit sector can organize and create a reporter-based system that logs this data if the individual states and cities won't.

There's never been more desire for this data.

I find summary message at the end particularly enlightening.

> But if you ask what is electricity?, then all of the answers you'll find will just confuse you, and you'll never stop asking that question.

How do we discover that Mrs. McCave named all her sons Dave? How do we discover without a lifetime of study that electricity is not the right name?

Is it scientific method? Epistemology?

I believe it was this Marketplace podcast episode[0] that talks about the UK and their relationship with Huawei. If I can recall, the UK is tied tightly to Huawei across several industries, one including nuclear reactor/plant development that has been in on going for ages and involves packages of training lots of UK workers.

The podcast goes on to say that the UK is in a tough position because to break ties with any part of Huawei could have a chain reaction of cancellations/retaliations that could be extremely costly to UK in a time of uncertainty with Brexit and now covid-19. "Damned if they do, damned if they don't" was the general sentiment.

>It's their choice (nytimes) to not do a paywall for a 'new potential customer'. And that data is stored in cookies. You can simulate that by purging all nytimes cookies and you can access as no initial paywall.

Thank you for clarifying. I hadn't considered that NYTimes may not show paywall for a 'new potential customer' since I am all to familiar with their paywall.

Based on what you are saying though, you lead me to believe that the NYTimes wants this behavior to occur, which I doubt.

If they want to paywall access to their site but adding a dot to the domain causes it to be bypassed, then it is misconfigured in some way, regardless of cookies.

I can't say for certain why this bug is exposed by NYTimes; however, I saw a comment on HN about trailing dots on domain names[1] being a browser implementation quirk.

The author of that article suggests that NYTimes may have misconfigured their Apache VirtualHost.
