Just saw the demo video, looks awesome. Is this tool from the future or some dark wizard tricks? Keep up the great work.

What's with all the excessive Google permission request ????

  Select what General Task can access:

  - Associate you with your personal info on Google

  - See your personal info, including any personal info you've made publicly available

  - See your primary Google Account email address

  - View and edit events on all your calendars

This is too much to ask just to sign up.

Those first three are the basic default Google sign-in permissions (IIRC). The first is your Google ID, the second is your name, and the third is your email address. The fourth permission is so we can show your calendar and allow you to modify it. The app still works if you disable calendar permissions, though. And we will add alternative login methods in the future for those who would rather not authorize their Google account.

These are the typical standard permissions:

'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.readonly', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts.readonly'

This is what I use for my time blocking app project. Contacts are scheduling meeting / events which might not be needed for this project so top two is what I would use for the project

Why not change the age/gender data every 6 to 12 months to see how they deal with that =)

I always use January 1st {Birth Year} (easy to remember) but I like this now too. Thanks

That's still accurate enough for their goals though. I put random very old dates and just keep DOBs noted in my password manager.

Surprising Magic Leap is not in the list which was a failed "unicorn".

I imagine they're just losing their money slower because they aren't subsidising entire industries like Uber is.

This list is only public companies

Perfectly articulated. Thank you!

No, because ... - Not all bosses are programmers. - No everyone knows about Git or how to use it. - Who regularly Git Blames lines of code to see who the author was? - Who would rather see the author name stand out in first line of code file versus doing Git Blame? - You can easily move the codebase without the Git history to another location (easy to delete the .git subdirectory).

So it's best to add the author name as many places as possible and distribute it.

Thanks for releasing this cool tool.

Some feedback: The plugin (via Chrome v100) could not render this HN post, thus the epub download was not useful.

Err, did you also email support@epub.press as they requested? I know "support via HN" is a thing, but ...

Outstanding tool, looking forward to using it much more. Excellent work on this!

Thank you so much!

Basically "Inception" alpha version.

> a sleep-tracking device that can alter dreams by tracking hypnagogia and then delivering audio cues based on incoming physiological data, at precise times in the sleep cycle, to make dream direction possible.

Inception via smart speaker.

add small electrical impulses upon the muscles (electronic massager style) and you will feel running. Add temperature changing clothes/blankets - and you're running away from a polar bear... Especially if to add a smell of the bear.

Yep, I'm halfway through watching Inception for the first time and I was thinking exactly this.

What are you doing?! Get off HN and finish it up.

It’s a great movie (though I think they could’ve chosen better actors for a few of the roles). Enjoy it.
