   I loved Evernote. With Libin leaving, it seemed like writing on the wall. I migrated everything to Google Drive while I plan my migration to DEVONthink.

   +1 for DEVONthink. Your description is fitting, too.

   Whatever you do, don't drag it out. If you're not happy with their performance, let them go. For future candidates, pay them to come in and do a short project. That way you have a better chance of getting the right candidate, with

   Like chris_wot below, your comment reads as if you're talking about DDG. So you downvote me? Nice. #not

   Incorrect. He sold his social network "The Names Database", to classmates.com, in 2006. DDG came later.

    There are no other change agents. Everyone else is just more of the same. Career politicians. It's going to take someone who doesn't go with the flow, to make any real, lasting change. Inertia is a bitch.

    Why are text editors so popular a project? My apologies if that sounds anything less than a legitimate question. I'm genuinely curious. It seems very common to me, over the last several years, to see $NEW_SHINY_EDITOR, and I wonder why

    Or Portland. There are lots of tech companies and startups here, as well. Obviously, not at the same scale as SV. But something like YC would be great, up here.

    If I put plain text into a note, I'd expect to get plain text out. You put plain text in, and you get something that still have to extract the text from. That isn't what I'd consider "pretty good". My point doesn&#x

    This is reason #1 why I like DEVONthink for the Mac. It uses exactly this model. I'm sure equivalents exist on the other platforms, but I'm not all that familiar. I have been an Evernote Premium user for a long time, and since the

    My biggest concern with this is that it devalues education even further. Many potential/current/former students are questioning the value of higher education. If you cannot trust the researchers, then how can anything be trusted?

    And people wonder why Airbnb is taking off like it is. The hotel industry is a cartel. I hope Airbnb stays A Good Thing™ for a long time. I fear with its high valuation that it will only last so long, before sweeping changes are made that m

    Did whoever downvoted this bother to read the thing at the link? Or did you just dismiss, out of hand? The commenter talks about how to be productive after a felony conviction. If that's not relevant, I don't know what is. You guy

    You're painting with a VERY wide brush. Your idea, in action, would be damaging to those on Airbnb who do business within the bounds of the law. Just because some folks might violate the terms of their {lease, rental agreement} does no

    I hope I'm not the only one here who thinks this is incredibly ANTI-entrepreneurial. I'll even go so far as to say this would be a really JERKY and EVIL thing to do. Are you a hotel owner who has a grudge against the little guy wh

    Now I see that there was an "hw" file, now. I ran it and got the desired results. Should have paid better attention. Hopefully, the instruction was more than, "Wow, this guy is a bonehead." :D I think some mindset change
