I've only found two differences between a bookmark folder and a collection:

1. Collections show up on new tab 2. collection items are remarkably easy to accidentally deleted,with no confirmation or undo functionality.

Reminds me of Firefox reading lists... which also disappeared and I hardly noticed.

well I didn't know it was coming and my workflow went to hell.

Because it's horrible in almost every way.

I'm inclined to agree... but to play devil's advocate, it's the sensitive ones we remember and talk about.

thank you for writing this history up. I am a regular but never really got involved in the effort to revive (except to announce it's return 10 months ago on HN)--I didn't really know the story.

Detect and xplay and yutru are there now. Still devastating the restof us paeons.

dependency rot is a more general problem. in my work we deal with lots of seldomly used applications, and I've found that reducing external dependencies tends to keep life happier

Here is the proposition: let's make an inherently deflationary currency suitable for black market transactions that will become even more polluting with every transaction.

CryptoKidz: I'm in!

But haters gonna hate, and downvoterz gonna downvote. what evs

if true Bitcoin needs to die, and eventually will under its own weight.

People hate Word, Excel and Photoshop??? These are examples of wildly successful software used by consumers and in industry alike.

Are questions against Hacker News guidelines!?!?!?!?!?

why is that interesting?.

Only context this makes sense in is research paid for from public purse.

on ff mobile site"s scroll seriously lagged. nice visual appeal though

well what if your best guess was that py2 would never actually be deprecated. Certainly in the early tens I had serious doubts.

Dead malls should become foodie plazas with childcare for diners.

Useful proxies like bitterness or stomach aches after consumption offer degrees that can covary with food preparation. If you cook it and it's less bitter, then cook it some more.

apparently somebody feels compelled to defend abuses by California farmers of a critical resource held in common, for personal profit. It is a scandal.

That California's farmers were watering crops (almonds, for petes sake) with ever deeper wells is a scandal.

I've honestly never found a good reason to use brew instead of macports, aside from an annoying hipsterism. Welcome to try to convince me otherwise.

asbestos was used to make a safer filter: oops

First off, abide by HN guidelines please.

Second its only your perception that it receives favoritism, because of your mistaken interpretive frame that sees electoral college electors as being about individual citizens instead of as a compromise between two sets of stakeholders: states and the citizens living in them. Until you recognize that states themselves have an interest in Federal elections, you will continue to misunderstand the role the EC plays.

Fairness isn't a simple concept. There can be many mutually incommensurable notions of fairness. Unfortunately, partisans pick and choose those that suit their interests best.

Just as an example from domestic life. Consider a family of 4 individuals with different caloric requirements. One notion of fairness would split a pizza pie into four equal portions, but another would split it in proportion to their caloric needs. Getting everyone to agree on the notion that should be operant is hard because each choice implies winners and losers.

If you don't think states interest in Federal elections shouldn't count for anything, say so, and then give some thought about whether you think states should just be replaced with population based administrative districts that change with the census.

Then move to Wyoming.

States are entities of political significance, regardless of how many people happen to live in them. This is a union of states, and states get a say. If you don't believe that consider advocating for the replacement of states with population based administrative districts.

states, not geographical units.

because it's representing the states themselves in addition to the population that happen to live in them. if you don't like all this you really should ask: why have states at all?

yes. state governments elected Presidents, and that is a good way to avoid populists.

Wyoming is a state and this country is a union of states, not acres, or arbitrary units of population. We've failed to communicate the actual point of all this, which is to make sure each state--and not population districts--get representation at the federal level. If you have a problem with all this you should be asking: why do we need states?

because the US is a union of quasi independent states. US government is built around that fact. The Senate, for example, represents each state equally Originally and by intent these were chosen by state legislatures. Similarly, originally and by intent, states governments play a large role in how Presidents get elected. Personally, I think the changes we've made have confused people about the basic theory of our constitutional system. People should be asking: why do we have states.

My first inkling that I had no clue about the reals was when I first thought hard about the fact that you can have a bijection between intervals of different length, eg (0, 1) and (0, 10).

what sequels? I don't remember no sequels /s
