Aren't all agreements enforced via coercion? either via the law/government or personally (which can be much worse)

keep a journal in plain text

I agree, I think the line between low taxes and high taxes should be very high, 200k or above. 200k people don't have enough resource control to personally warp democracy. In the context of class war, it could help change the lines of battle and get 200k people to realize they are on the side of the poor

> This is a technology problem

totally agree, but I'd love to see a technology that's even better than real life like a discussion site where for each post, users could navigate a 'discussion topology/taxonomy' (i don't know the real terms?). There wouldn't be a need for adding comments that are just restating a position, you would just 'vote' for the position. You could add a new position, a new reason for a position, or new evidence for a reason for a position. The meta discussion the topology itself would be interesting. It would rarely achieve conflict resolution, but it would force us to better define our positions/reasons/evidence/core beliefs, and maybe help us understand others

I'll second Windows 10 home. Focus changes from the app I'm working on to Windows itself - but the screen still shows that the app I was working on. I hit Alt+F4 to close the app (that I'm seeing and so think still has focus) and get the Windows Shutdown prompt.

hijacked by a mix of crazies - and 3-letter agencies - making the theories wild, and hence 'nothing to see here, move on'

This would be great. Also there are often duplicate arguments within posts. If users could use an HN function to create a 'Discussion Topology' (like on kialo?),we'd get alot of the position definitions out of the way. If you cared just a little about the subject you would just identify your position. If you had something actually new to say, you would argue for your position, or you could argue about which topology is best suited for the argument.

Sorry, are you referring to Kaleb or Trump? thanks

(unless i'm misreading what she's saying) another view is ".. Lippmann ... was a vehement critic of propaganda .. "

Thanks for the link to the video. Wouldn't ultra conservatives wear masks because of 'Ingroup', 'Authority', 'Purity', and only when it becomes law? Wouldn't ultra liberals wear masks because of 'Harm', 'Fairness', as it becomes clear scientific consensus? Thanks

Thank you, HowTruthful looks great, I hope sites like these become very common, not only to help preserve friendships, but to help distilled arguments, and ultimately clarify what we believe

FTW?

and it was pretty embarrassing when I forgot to update this same thing in 2010

not sure if this is what you mean, but Voice2Mail lets you send email with mp3 attached and (I think) geotag.

a big ask but would love for this to do speech to text also.

jealous musician here, was unaware of his music and am thankful that HN has again pointed me to something great. His arrangement of Moon River is amazing. but what I want to hear from anybody is the next new song as great as 'Moon River'

Isn't the low carb argument that for proteins more is passed and don't need to be burnt off, but for carbs almost all calories must be burnt off? How many calories do I take in and therefore must burn off thru exercise if I swallow a penny?

TIL that content for wikipedia pages changes per language. I clicked 'English' in the left pane hoping to learn more about what you are saying, but the English version does not have the 'En Europe' section. not so great. Thanks for your post

in Pittsburgh, part of the reason is that there are some exit ramps off the left lane. People who are afraid to change lanes get in the left lane and stay there for miles so they don't have to merge to get to the ramp

folding based on any kind of indent is great, and why I've used jEdit for years

how much of what people currently 'love' is based on some natural meritocracy vs decades of big money marketing? It once wasn't a stretch at all for people to 'hear', love, and make a hit of a harmonically complicated song like Ray Charles' version of 'Come Rain or Come Shine', but now we seem incapable of doing so. Do you think there is no chance at all that audiences have been dumbed down?

agree that probably all currently popular jazz musicians read music, but is this necessarily an improvement?

the difference for musicians is in aczerepinski's comment above ...harmonically sophisticated and yet singable/relatable to non-musicians

i've been happy with using Jeremy Dorn's as a start : https://github.com/jdorn/json-editor

sorry for late response, but thanks for this. locus of control is always a false story we tell ourselves, right? let's ask the archetypal solitary mountain man about his ability to control his environment. You've identified for me two of the basic hustles of the usa's right wing :

- providing the illusion of locus of control

- disassociating people/society from nature

   - homesteader mauled by a bear = heroics!

   - getting mugged in the city = decadence

thank you

the [0] article makes a distinction between saturated fat vs unsaturated fat while the [1] article and the last article cited do not. isn't this the big difference?

not bad, just preferred by whoever pays to direct culture.

the difference in quality would be only the music itself, and nothing to do with lyrics/literature, about which I'd bet you are correct (I wouldn't know). Cole was a great jazz pianist that was raised and trained and in the African American Jazz tradition before he 'crossed over', much like George Benson did decades later. It would be a mistake to think either were limited to 'light' entertainment.

So while Cole may or not have played with Mingus or Billy Holiday, he certainly could have. Not so with Dylan.

Even the most seemingly inane songs from that era were more sophisticated - musically - than anything from Dylan, et al. I think this applies : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9394176

p.s. sorry, don't mean to rip on Dylan. If you like it, enjoy!

not saying that Dylan was just 'crap and garbage', but as a cultural icon, people like him replaced people like Nat King Cole, which simultaneously dumbed down and further 'whitened' our music.
