Education in the US has devolved to the point where music appreciation is only taught in the most prestigious of private primary and secondary schools, and perhaps in the public schools of wealthy neighborhoods.
I’d like to find out what you think is really the problem. Do you believe inner-city schools aren’t funded enough to sit kids down and make them listen to Bach? Do you think kids in the rough parts of Milwaukee are just waiting for a bright-eyed teacher to play the right tape for the class? Every one of those kids has access to YouTube. Spotify is free. It isn’t the 1980s anymore, and “lack of access” isn’t why some groups like classical while others prefer drill music. Universal global access to high art and the tools of cultural creation have dispelled a great many blank-slate myths.
This article is HN bait. This community is full of intellectual elitists who delude themselves into thinking that they are immune to the things that seduce common people. We’re all common people.
This. There was a post in HN last week, iirc, referring to just such a solution called ZenFetch (?). I would have adopted it in a heartbeat but they don’t currently have a means of exporting the source data you feed to it (should you elect it as your sole means of bookmarking, etc)
This is Gabe, the founder of Zenfetch. Thanks for sharing. We're putting together an export option where you can download all your saved data as a CSV and should get that out by end of week.
Seems like this would be a good tool to build lessons on - if you could share a "class" and export a link for others to then copy the class, and expand on the lesson/class/topic into their own AI. but as a separate "class" and not fully integrated to my regular history blob?
I want the ability to search all my downloaded files and organize them based on context within. Have it create a category table, and allow me to "put all pics of my cat in this folder, and upload them to a gallery on imgur."
Not that I’m endorsing the use of smart phones, but FedEx does have a mobile application. Why not just use that for notifications regarding deliveries?
And buy a very expensive tracking device with frequent security issues?
I am lucky to live in a country in which a large religious population eschews the smartphone, so saying "I don't have one" is acceptable and common here. But I have colleagues who tell me that they are expected to have a smartphone from everything to banks to government services to simple small restaurants.
Was also thinking, cool, where is this place, and how do I sign up?
But then I remembered, I already belong to a religion that makes the
ownership of a smartphine quite unconscionable to me.
Indeed I wrote about how even a religious objection is unnecessary
when there's a knock-down argument on the grounds of what is merely
patently unethical.
> are expected to
I find these "expectations" come from those who didn't read Dickens.
The FedEx one is meh and does afaik, but some (looking at you dhl) are almost useless as they provide little information (tracking info is hidden sometimes), sometimes do not allow you to add the parcel as it has a tracking code from a foreighn service which you cannot use and you have to figure out the local one, are full of "news" also known as ads and do not allow you to select the dropoff location closest to you (go ups!). Sorry, /rant.
Perhaps I’m not understanding how this stores data, but how do I retrieve source material after I give it to the app?
Eg. Let’s say I adopt Zenfetch, and start using it as the sole place where I keep bookmarks. Then, something happens such that I want to retrieve that original, principal, bookmark data.
We will enable an export data option soon where you can download a list of the bookmarks you saved to Zenfetch.
Our goal is not to become a vendor lock-in play. Instead, Zenfetch is a layer on top of your knowledge base goaled on helping you activate information that you forgot about.
If you're referring to being able to revisit bookmarks: from the dashboard, you can click on any of the articles to see the original article
Not the original poster, but still not clear to me.
Say I mark a page that contains really usable information. For some reason, 2 months later that page goes offline because the domain was not renewed (or whatever). Some time after that happened, I need that information. Will I still be able to see the original content, or not?
Similar thing, I mark a page. The author updates the url with different content 2 months later. Some time after that happened, I need that information. Will I still be able to see the original content, or will I just find the new updated content?
I guess the question is: is a snapshot taken from the actual content at the time I mark it as interesting and can that snapshot be shown, or not?
Snapshot is taken from the actual content at that point in time. We haven’t enabled a reader format just yet where you could view the original text. Right now, clicking the card in the dashboard will redirect you to the URL.
If you were to chat with the article from the dashboard, it would be preserving the snapshotted content and leverage that information in the final answer (same with using the search functionality).
I did not test it yet, but it looks like something that would be very useful for me. So, I will definitely try it.
I will add that me too, I have some concerns regarding the data being "locked" in your service, but I read in other comments that at some point it will be possible to create an export of some sort. When using this to carefully craft a knowledge base during months, it would be very painful if that is all lost when stopping the service for whatever reason.
As others asked, I would appreciate an Android/iOS app to register new content when reading something on the phone.
Regarding the pricing, it mentions a fixed price per month, but is there any limit on the amount of data that is uploaded (for example when uploading PDFs) ? Is there any limit on the amount of content in the knowledge base?
Appreciate that and yes in the absolute worst case, you can email us and we can manually export your data on your behalf.
We are using a fixed price today and have no restriction on storage. This might change in the future if costs scale, though it’s not an immediate priority and we’d be sure to communicate those changes well in advance.
Once you’re onboarded, feel free to message us with the in app support widget. It’s a direct line to the team slack and we tend to respond almost immediately
I am trying to create an account (using a gmail address as email address), but I do not receive a code through email. I already tried multiple times. Any idea what is going on?
My wife's family is from Louisiana. I love visiting, the people are very warm and the food is great. But after 3 days I want to go back to Atlanta. Louisiana is a terrible place to live, unfortunately.
>You might have to pay for coffee at the office. And it may even be drip!
Uh, no. If you're paying for your own drip coffee, you're working at a convenience store, not in an office. Coffee is for closers and people who write software.
