But the interest keeps compounding, which means the person is going to be paying a still sizable portion of their income for a significantly longer timeframe. This is money that arguably would be spent on housing, family, and retirement, e.g. things that provide significant societal and personal stability.

It works great on IceCatMobile and is open source - so it has my support!

Google Chrome is another auto-update offender.

Inevitably it updates while I'm tethered to my phone (which has a small data allowance).

> These men who died were men of guardian hearts protecting citizens’ constitutional rights as warriors in a battle for their lives. And that dichotomy is a sense of struggle for me as an advocate for stronger police community relations, an inclusive in-group identity for citizen and police where they are not pitted against one another. It is imperative that we continue to deal with and overcome inherent bias and its effects on human beings.

RE: API and 'let users choose their balance' Exactly :)

RE: 'big list' Totally understand! It seems ever expanding todo lists are becoming a modern perpetual epidemic. Thinks to self, "If only we had good tools to make them easier to wrangle and learn from." ;)

I agree. Visualization of goal-data is an important piece that isn't well covered at this point.

For users that want a simple, "get me up and running" solution, the Benome button approach to data collection could be very satisfying (in a Happy Button[0] way).

I just see the possibility for wider adoption and contributions if it were more modularized to separate the data input and the visualization.

There is definitely value in Benome's visualization. One of my personal goals is to use Taskwarrior. Because I'm trying to optimize my workflow –not add more overhead– I'm not going to add the Benome data input to my workchain just for the visualization. However, if I could simply connect my Taskwarrior data to Benome, I would absolutely use it (and it would probably reinforce my self-reflection and subsequent data input).

It may be useful to a wider range of potential users to have an api for task-specific information. Then the open source community could use Benome to display the results of other tools (e.g. `done` tasks in TaskWarrior[0]).

This would increase actual productivity (i.e. users don't have to mark an existing todo item as done in one tool _and_ click a button in Benome). It would also mean that the Benome is available where ever the user is, without Benome having to store or transmit task-specific data.

I suspect this could also benefit path planning for autonomous ground vehicles (e.g. self-driving cars).

A friend and colleague of mine developed a simple distributed testing framework in JavaScript - https://github.com/PsychoLlama/panic-server (It works in conjunction with Mocha, Jasmine, and possibly other test frameworks - https://github.com/PsychoLlama/panic-demo)

(We work on an open source distributed data sync engine and needed a way to test distributed aspects of that engine - https://github.com/amark/gun/)

I was wondering if that was the problem for me, but I'm so near-sighted that if I were close enough to actually see the cursor, there's no way the camera could see my eyes to track them. :-(

@neurobuddha has also been blogging about specific !bangs which is even more enlightening - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11773901 (his post is currently buried below, but he totally deserves all the karma!)

I frequently use !js which searches only the JavaScript portion of the Mozilla Developer Network.

You can also always use the Google search results - without being profiled - by using !g (aka, best of both worlds)

Considering my own ratio of canned and fountain soda bought in restaurants, grocery stores, and convenience stores (at least a couple times a week) versus soda pulled by a soda jerk (never, nada, not even a single time), this does not bode well for the good baristas of our world!

While I have bought alcohol from a bar, the ratio of my non-bar alcohol still dwarfs bar-purchased alcohol. And frankly, even with the bar-purchased alcohol, it was social events with friends, the bartender could just as easily been a serve-yourself machine.

I highly recommend Manna by Marshall Brain - http://marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm - He looks at how this may play out, with several variations on the theme throughout a single storyline.

Most of my statistics books actually had very useful summaries of variable symbols & names, as well as other useful referential information [1] in the front and back endpapers.

[1] For example, there was a non-parametric stats book that had a table with common conditions for each statistic covered.

For me, I don't use Google Photos or Spotify, I have my own local copies and maintain my own backups.

I do use Github for some projects, but I also maintain local copies and maintain my own backups for all my projects.
