TwelveNights

I've always thought that Twitter adopted the same line of thinking, preventing tweets from being editable.

I like using paper to journal about my day or write about random thoughts I might have that I'd like to flesh out further through writing. A few inconveniences of writing it though is that you might want to selectively share some stuff from time-to-time, lack of ability to add media (though a portable printer kinda solves this problem), and having a limit of space, relying on indexing journals when they fill up. A lot of the caveats are solved by privately blogging, though I do miss writing instead of typing everything.

Something like this is almost a sweet spot of keeping the paper version as a "draft copy" while being able to enrich a digital version of your journal. As someone in the thread mentioned, being able to have private pages would likely encourage people to try it out for their journalling purposes. Otherwise, the project looks amazing!

I have heard of some people experiencing sensitivities to MSG, but as the exception and not the norm.

The Persians also have an expression for "drunkenness and truthfulness", masti o rasti. مستی و راستی

The ptrdiff doesn't have to be signed. I'm pretty sure negative numbers aren't used in this context.

I really hope that the actual study gives more details about how this research was conducted. This article is way too sparse and seems more like a marketing post for the company that did the research.

One way I've seen discussed on HN is by sending varying amounts to N different accounts, where some are owned by you / affiliates and others are not. In a sense, paying for obfuscation of which accounts are actually owned by you.

I've always thought that the value provided was in comparison to old-school advertising techniques, such as through physical media or broadcast-style presentation formats. Nowadays, even if some Youtube ads seem like a crapshoot, it's still much more focused than television.

HN has always felt rather US-centric and IMO it really reflects in the response that this type of news gets.

For Twitter, increasing its international presence and talent pool is a big win. The community stands to benefit in the opportunities the tech giant can provide.

I noticed that too. The copy on the casino site is especially odd.

Opal Ruby to JavaScript Compiler It is source-to-source, making it fast as a runtime. Opal includes a casino comparison compiler (which can be run in any browser), a corelib and runtime implementation. The corelib/runtime is also very small.

The only thing missing in OP's calculation is the cost of employees. Maintaining a fleet of 250 vending machines alone doesn't seem very possible.

While nobody expected books to have variable font sizes, the fact that ebooks do allow it to be adjusted means that people with deteriorating vision may still read them.

Any credentials that are pushed to GitHub are as good as immediately compromised.
