I recently went farther down the note-taking rabbit hole than I care to admit. I wanted the app to be cross platform (macOS/win10/Arch (Gnome)). What I found was that by separating my two use cases -- web clipping and Markdown/Gist-like notes -- I was able to find a sweet spot (for now).

the abbreviated version of my setup is this:

AmazonBasics dotted notebook as my primary note taking device. I use a system similar to a bullet journal.

Microsoft OneNote for web clipping. The web client is good enough if I need to read notes on linux. I use Boostnote for programming notes / Markdown. Then, at the end of the day, I type my notes from my physical notebook in to OneNote for searchability.

I know that my setup is not earth shattering. But that's kind of my point. I spent a lot of time searching high and low for a fully digital solution. I assumed that I would find several excellent cross-platform note taking applications to choose from. I was wrong. They were either not very good at taking notes, or the few that are good, are not cross platform. Honorable mention to Simplenote and Quiver. Quiver is solid if you're only on a Mac.

I had somehow missed that gem in past viewings. I only focused on the "Bill Gates as BB" aspect.

For the curious, it starts at 28:36.

The best theory of the formation of the universe is the Big Bang Theory. I check HN at least daily (often far more), and I haven't seen any posts regarding alternative theories or poking holes in the Big Bang Theory.

What origin of the universe theory does the HN zeitgeist advocate?

The precursor to ESXi, ESX, used even more Linux source code. Is that brought up in the lawsuit?

You're on the right track here, but opiates and alcohol also create a lingering hell for the sufferer called PAWS. The longer a person abuses a substance, the longer PAWS lasts. It is not uncommon for PAWS to last a year or more.

To be successful, a person has to somehow manage & deal with PAWS, while also facing life, and the deeper causes of their addiction. This is why I am an advocate of recovery that includes bupenorphrine. It allows a person who has the right motivations the space to recover.

It is an unjust tragedy the way this country/world treats people who suffer from addiction.

Is your argument that because Apple is now successful, that their walled garden approach is now flawed?

I don't follow the line of reasoning there.

So you know, this was absolutely worthwhile. I am experiencing an almost identical situation for an identical reason.

And it all started at one of the "all positive" corporate retreats mentioned in the article.

It is the same way in Chicago as well. I went 2 years without driving a car at all, but obviously taxis were a necessity.

I was actually penalized when I renewed auto insurance for not carrying it for 2 years, despite not owning a car nor driving at all.

Robust public transportation should be a huge initiative for all major cities, and even more so ones that are growing quickly. The efficiencies, environmental impact, and convenience for citizens are too much to ignore.

What are the logistics if everyone in the world was an entrepreneur? ~5-6bn small businesses?
