I really feel like the E-Ink invention has been mismanaged. These things should literally be everywhere by now and performing all kinds of functions. I want one as a second screen and to do most of my development on it. Maybe have a second

Logo is ok. State seal is what really got me. It looks like something whipped up in illustrator in a couple hours.

Super interesting. Could you say more? Perhaps it depends a bit on the role?

This would be a very good technical interview question — i.e. "implement this simple regex specification."

Obviously his censorship by the Chinese government was dumb and harmful and obviously he was right about the virus. But I don't quite understand how an opthalmologist would be equipped to identify Coronavirus. Does anyone have the det

It's not as simple as you'd like, but the little known Bosch-Haber process, which produces ammonia for farming, staved off mass famines and may be why many readers of HN are alive today.

Because they're trying to introduce a different paradigm for computing. Notebooks are portable, purpose-oriented, and allow Google to make decisions about the underlying implementation allowing for a $10 monthly price point and an incr

Any info on how this would stack against a Mac Pro of a similar price?

Agreed. My hypothesis is that it's largely due to constrained markets in the Bay Area (housing, dating pool especially) that lead to individuals feeling impoverished despite having enough cash. Like kids in poorer areas wanting to be p

This was my favorite kennel extension. It allowed for accessing memory via a device that you could call `cat` on, grep etc. https://www.osxbook.com/book/bonus/chapter8/kma/

You're missing my point. Although attempting to reach Mars may be wise, Fort Bridger is not an effective analogy. By the time we had reached Fort Bridger, humans had already traveled across huge territories and had already learned to l

You can breathe and find sustenance in Fort Bridger if you have human skills that have existed for dozens of millenia.

This is a highly political piece. It suggests that smaller companies are not effective and is wielding that idea to suggest that Facebook should be broken up. Facebook is naturally going to do whatever they can to hold on and given the way

They're both right. Both positions are often not contingent upon kindness, compassion, and a desire to maintain or increase everyone's wellbeing.

Sure, but if you could convince people to drive around in wacky science project offerings, it would be a hell of a lot cheaper, better for the environment, safer, and healthier.

Google is absolutely doing the right thing. Anything that can be done to enhance the efficacy of EMR software will help lead to better patient outcomes. As far as I can tell, Google is approaching the problem foremost from the perspective o

You haven't spoken to many doctors then. I don't mean to be a jerk or snarky. It really is an awful piece of software. Among its worst flaws is that in most implementations, neither Cerner not Epic encourage structured data record

I'm not sure if this will help, but I suffer from a similar feeling. The sense that I'm often a cog. That others around me don't have an interest in seeing me as a full human — and even worse, perhaps, others around me and ma

Open source it. Just open source it all. This would restore so much faith and allow passionate researchers to improve safety.

The fact that they're a reasonably competent outsider arguably bolsters their position.

I can't help but think that people are thinking about this the wrong way. Today, activists in China understand that the internet is not a safe place to engage in activist activities without extreme precautions. This was less well under

I like this piece and I agree that startups can be great. But the first half of the essay, the hook of the essay, was contingent upon the author declining a $70k check from Thiel and noting that he walked away from $200 million; and the end
