Comparing a laptop vs. a desktop? Which do you need? I've got no idea what your specifics are or whether you'll be permanently stationed at a desk or if you'll be working on the subway 24/7.. the current state of this post provides very little beneficial information for the HN community.

I wonder what devices will come in the next 5 years that require significantly new developments in UX.

Have you thought about a free version with ads?

Seriously, there are worse cities than LA. Toronto has arguably the worst traffic in North America [0]

Which is more sustainable? How many acres could one person possibly yield per hour?

While I agree with the headline, I don't think the video is a good example.

I'm pretty happy with YNAB, have been using it since September. People complain about having to manually add transactions but I find it helps keep you disciplined to a further extent.

If you ever get the time, I'd love a written response similar to the OP detailing the contrary.

This sure sounds like an interesting problem. With the likes of AI, Google's Cloud Vision[0] and hopefully many more this sort of thing can definitely become a reality in the near future.

Not sure if I want to enter my private cell number on a website served over http.

Nvm, I'm sure. I don't.

Perhaps it wasn't OP's intention to make the most elegant Todo application, but rather learn a a new set of tools while creating an application (s)he's rather familiar with?

Then again I actually have no idea.

You could easily write a VERY simple Todo application with the three features you mentioned (add, edit, complete) using an HTML file and some Javascript.

At first glance, I don't suspect OP is trying to create the best Todo application of all time.

I know it's nit picky, but in the 'About' section on Financier's website the first sentence under '100% offline web app' reads "Click the button above to go the the app"... I just wanted to let you know it bugged me a little but other than that it looks very nice!

don't forget the Canadian's .eh

(I know it's .ca but come on)

This is nearly identical to what I would say, have an upvote.

This guy's got it.

Coincidentally I just read an article about the idea being implemented during a Hackathon at Princeton very recently [0]. Four students put together a very intelligent AI in 36 (!!) hours to verify articles posted on FB for truth, using the term AI lightly of course. They've also open sourced their project since then [1]. Obligatory chrome extension link [2].

That last line is the kicker. People are ignorant to the truth and|or simply refuse to believe it for whatever reason.

Thanks for the feedback and the helpful link, I appreciate the comment!

Haha my apologies, I knew it felt wrong.

No kidding, millenials vs. the world is how I feel growing up this day and age.

CS50x was great, stick with it.

One thing I've considered too as I begin to work with more and more developers on larger projects is the good ole 'Bus Factor [0]. In short, it's determining whether or not your project can be sustained should the major contributor or 'main brain' behind the project get hit by a bus. The entire objective is to reduce the number of places the project can fail, simply by having one member pass unexpectedly. Should you steer clear of avoiding a single point of failure? Absolutely. Is it always avoidable? Absolutely not.

Good questions, I'm actually intrigued to see valid answers.

> "Up to 5hr. of battery life on one charge"

How the fuck is it acceptable to completely remove the jack and replace it with this 'superior' technology?

It'd be cool if it showed the number of anonymous users creepily watching the conversation too.

That's what I got from the info provided.. essentially bulk ship all of the stock you have now and then get back to producing content until you've got another worth-while batch to ship.. interesting. That's a bold move cotton, let's see how it plays out.

Millennial checking in: I don't have a credit card, just got rid of overdraft on my regular bank account and have a line of credit. Once I pay off the LOC I'm never using credit again unless it's an invest that will pay itself off, ie. a (successful) business, real-estate, etc.

Piggybacking off of this, post an intriguing question and it will get a lot attention no matter the time. Often posts last for upwards of 6-8 hours assuming they're popular threads, there's a reason other's die off in 20 minutes.

Really eh? That's something I couldn't of imagined. Makes sense but still surprised. Wonder if Canada will follow suit if we haven't already.

It would be neat if there was an Open Source DB that hosted all of the 'known' words so that everyone using the tool can contribute to the growing list of vocabulary.
