So, if I don't write a review, the other party's review won't get posted either? This misuse can be prevented by implementing a deadline for submitting review and beyond that, whoever submitted theirs gets posted. So even if you forfeit your review, it still wont prevent the other party's bad review from getting posted

Haven't used AirBnB so I don't know about the review mechanism but isn't it blind? For example, if i remember correctly, on Freelancer.com, you cant see the other party's review until you submit yours. The reviews only get posted once both parties have submitted theirs. Isn't this the same for AirBnB? If not, wouldn't implementing this resolve the issue?

Side note: You can implement a deadline for submitting review to avoid misuse where someone doesn't submit their own review in order to prevent a bad review from getting posted on their profile

> Trying to get people to understand a complex formal system is very hard. Harder than developing one.

Add another one to that list: Exactly how this complex system benefits people

As an insurance student, let me just point out male mortality is still considered higher than female mortality (hence higher premium rates for men). Though i have no numbers if the world has more females than males right now

Asia

This is a sort of culture (in geographic terms) thing to be honest. There was a very nice article somewhere that compared the values of the East and the West. Talking highly of yourself actually comes off as negative in the East. In the East, humility is considered far more respectable, where as the same comes off as weak in the west.

I am surprised it even supports non-english songs! Though I wonder which languages are supported other than urdu/hindi

This is how i read those points:

1. Our focus is to serve teams so in the near future, all of our new features will be directed towards teams. (btw which features of trello do you feel lack "focus on teams" ?)

2. Our visual design is better than Trello.

3. We will eventually bring in more "social" collaborative tools (any idea what these will be like?)

For the curious, here is a link to some Blanket Octopus related Facts:

Personally I like the homepage. It gives a quick link to the finder itself while still being a welcome page to explain why you should consider using the site

I agree, it needs git style (or even Ms word style) conflict resolution. hopefully they will figure this out soon

i meant in the context of the whole 8 hours limit thing. Yes its X minutes but not X hours, but that has been cleared up by his follow up comment

Thanks for pointing that out. If a company shuts down their account I suppose it's actually a feature that copies of their notebooks be deleted from every employee's system. Though the glitch is when personal notebooks are deleted.

I think a middle ground would be a two step deletion, no?

Step1 : Delete from everyone's machine but keep a backup for X days to allow people to file complaints etc.

Step2 : Delete Backup

> I'm just amazed that with the ~$300M of VC they've raised, they still haven't caught up to the real-time sync of Google Docs of 8+ years ago.

I don't understand. EverNote has instant sync across devices. If you are using in web browser or PC client then its even real time. (Android one requires you to click "Done" before syncing apparently because it treats the whole note as one giant text area).

I very frequently switch between typing on my desktop or my tablet whenever i leave my desk but have an idea running in my head. Similarly if someone is viewing my note, they get frequent updates as I type

Their official response on the matter is something like:

We do not support markdown but have created an API that lets third party developers provide markdown support.

One really good example is www.marxi.co

> I like how you've handled multiple chapters.

How did he handle them? As of now I just see chapters as unlinked individual posts.

Edit: I found an example to see what you mean: http://fictionhub.io/story/mother-of-learning

Oh apparently the Banner image is a link to a welcome page.

Exactly. Blogs are mostly text sites and one would expect such to open at rapid speeds. That's one of the things I like about Svbtle, they load the blog as one single request/response with all the text, styles, JS(barely noticeable) inline making for very rapid load times

Ah yes, depends on if you are seeking accuracy or amusement

Don't know about that but the Fate Zero anime has Gilgamesh as a main character and is pretty good.

> Why I design software, I want to want to live in it > Show HN: Solving the problem of what you read the Web > Think Apple Would Dare To Be Upset About Aaron Swartz's life

That's a weird auto-generated comment[1]. I wonder how much of it is random selection and how much is seeded text. What were the units that combined to form this?

Yes its refreshing to see them take a complete departure from Braid instead of just seeing Braid as "formula for success" and re-iterating it. (I am looking at you Angry Birds).

I like how he used his financial freedom to follow through with something he really wanted to build in a way that he feels justifies his dream

I like Evernote. I like how its available across devices. The Web UI is really nice, though the Desktop Native app needs a facelift. I use it to write "private blogs" on my tablet. I used to use Svtble for this as I love the simplicity and the UI but they dont seem to have a native android app, so Evernote is how I do things now and would be sad to see them go.

Does anyone know of any better apps for my usecase (writing loads of text on tablet and have them easily available across devices. Preferably native Desktop app as well)?

Ps: I love OneNote but... it does't feel like its meant for dumping loads of text into it and the Android app has horrible reviews so i haven't risked downloading it yet

My Almameter seems to be doing that this year in their Design Patterns Course. The task is to find a large code base that desperately needs refactoring. I let a young friend use my old Final Year Project for this. Its scary how bad my code was when I graduated (never took Design Patterns) but at the same time, inspiring to see how far I have come since then

Now that you mention it, the whole thing does seem to lack a certain appreciation for the gravity of the incident. A person got raped and the company's reply is:

"Oh, we're sorry. Security is our number 1 priority and we'll call the police ourselves next time."

And the debate here is "Well the victim should have contacted the police themselves. Doesn't he even know which emergency number to call?"

While I sincerely I hope the conversation would have been more serious if the victim was a girl, I am appalled at the current reaction.

I intend to this year. Studying to be an Actuary. Actually, the Actuary thing was Plan A. but I majored in CS and been doing a software development job for the past two years so that my software side could be a viable Plan B. I love programming. Always have, always will. Actuarial science just seems more challenging at the moment so it attracts me

Reminds me of that guy who posted "The Unemployable Coder" exact same issue with him. a decade of relevant experience but no one hires him because of a lack of degree

I compared it with my svtble blog and I am pretty pleased with the results. No bloat at all. Just one request with inline css.
