Primary advantages of using Managify over alternatives:

1. Single Platform

By building a single platform for all your documents, we are able to offer powerful, unique features. Ex. Users can see all their notes, bookmarks and calendar events on any specific undertaking in a single interface.

2. Unique User Interface

We've designed unique, consistent and intuitive user interfaces across different modules.

Example:

- Our tasks-management interface in the projects module is one of our best - Intuitive keyboard shortcuts makes it work almost like a free-text editor, making it super-fast but highly structured.

3. Unique Features

Examples:

- Customizable labels that can be organized within folders, allowing the same document to effectively be in multiple folders through the labels. This provides the right dimensionality for quickly identifying the relevant resources. For instance, you can have 30 labels organized in 6 different high-level categories. You can use the specific label or high-level category for quick filtering based upon what you are interested in.

- RegEx Search. Surprisingly few applications have RegEx search + labels. These 2 can work great together for filtering purposes.

4. Fast, Simple, Cross-Device Compatible And Free

No, there isn't.

Your passwords are encrypted using AES-256 with your Managify account's password as the key. The password tokens are then stored in the databases. We do not store enough information to be able to decrypt your passwords.

I think the right response for such an operation would be to throw a runtime error as opposed to coercing it into an integer. That's what a lot of other languages like ruby do. While I understand JS' philosophy of dynamic typing and coercion rather than runtime errors. I think this is taking it too far.

A laptop with an internet connection in today's age can be more educational than attending college. Think of Coursera, EdX, Wikipedia, Google, Online Tutorials, Pragmatic Software etc.

I wonder what would happen if some startup started using public Yelp reviews.

I use to have a frustrating experience searching for and organizing movies, shows and music. I had tried using excel sheets to keep track of the movies and shows that I'd like to watch but ended up spending too much time looking for ratings and trailers. So, I decided to build a platform that can aggregate all this information and allow me to keep all this data well managed.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Bad code but good product

1. imse.co - internet movie search engine. Its google for movies. Allows for search queries like:

- johnny depp fantasy movies on netflix

- english scifi movies on netflix

- english movies about lawyers on netflix or hulu

- movies similar to the pursuit of happyness

2. activify.org - search engine for movies, shows & music.

Founder here. Would appreciate feedback/suggestions on the search engine.

Do you use their search engine? I've found that to be not that great for regular usage.

I think homelessness falls under the broader category of poverty and that's what should be addressed as a whole. A better wholistic strategy that would involve the following ideas could help reduce poverty and increase human welfare overall: 1. Population Reduction 2. Mass Education 3. Better Allocation of resources through reducing zero-sum games.

I've discussed this in more detail here - https://www.quora.com/What-is-your-most-controversial-or-unp...

Yes. From Comcast. For a fortune.

This is a very one-sided article. I would have hoped The Economist would do a fair analysis of the pros and the cons of such an implementation. The cons in this case are very clear.

1. First of all, diverting funds from vital food and fertilizer supply to the poorest of the poor in order to fund this scheme is a self-defeating idea.

2. Corruption in cases involving direct money would be far higher than schemes involving food.

3. The poorest of the poor would not have a bank account and therefore, would not be able to benefit from this scheme. A large population of India happens to live in slums. This is the population that is in the most need of such a program but would not receive its benefits. Just because of these conditions, UBI is far more likely to help the rich than the poor.

Fundamentally, UBI would only work for advanced societies. For poor societies, there just wouldn't be enough wealth to be distributed amongst everyone. This is the reason why UBI has worked well in the Scandinavian countries - their GDP per capita is already in the $50K-$70K range compared to India's $3K-$5K.

It is far more likely that the politicians floated this idea to appease the citizens after the hardship they faced during the demonetization scheme.
