223 | null | null | The biggest benefit I see to KeePass over LastPass is sync/cloud choice. LastPass I file in the category of password managers [1] that are more new-user-friendly than KeePass because they directly handle cross-device sync on their own cloud offerings.<p>However, I like the flexibility to use any "file sync" tool I want to pass KeePass files around between my devices (or none at all, depending on the threat model of individual password files). That opens up flexibility to use things like Keybase File Share and Resilio Sync Encrypted Shares where you have additional options in in-transfer and at-rest encryption of your files.<p>[1] In that category some security-minded friends that I trust have done their own research on the subject recommend Dashlane over LastPass. | null | WorldMaker | null | 1,513,375,120 | "2017-12-15T21:58:40Z" | comment | 15,935,579 | 15,934,939 | null | null | null |

230 | null | null | To anyone familiar with the matter, l this was long overdue, now the government just has a reason to greenlight >€1200 per citizen for badly needed investments, this wouldn’t have been a popular move before. Obviously the calculus changed. The Bundeswehr is not even close to what I’d consider the minimal requirements as it stands right now, but I still don’t like that we increase our annual spending on the military now. We need the money elsewhere, NATO should have enough guns already, this is just going down the industry-drain instead of funding much needed help in the care- and education sectors. We need elementary school teachers, psychologists, and systemic change for the people who care for the old, sick and weak. Instead we’re playing war games.

256 | null | null | The human body needs to maintain core body temperature at 37°C. Whenever we extract energy from our food to do stuff, some of that energy gets dumped into heat. If we assume (just for round numbers) that we eat 2000 Calories/day, and that 10% of that energy is heat, then that's 200 Calories/day of heat that needs to be dumped into our environment. Abusing units somewhat, if a human being is 100 kg of mostly water, that's 2°C/day of heat. If we didn't dump that heat, in a day, core body temperature rises to 39°C and we get heatstroke.<p>Heat naturally flows from hot to cold at a rate proportional to the difference in temperature. If we're fully passively cooled at an environmental temperature 25°C at a rate of 2°C/day, then at 1°C, we'd be passively cooled at 6°C/day. However, we can also modulate heat flow by introducing some thermally nonconductive layers--or, in layman's terms, put on a sweater. When it's cold, all you have to do is slow down the rate of heat flow.<p>But hotter temps are more difficult. We can't take off thermal insulators or modulate the main thermal barrier between core body temperature and the outside world (i.e., skin). At 31°C, passive cooling is down to 1°C/day, and we need to turn to active cooling. Sweating is the main mechanism for humans: it takes heat for liquid water to become water vapor, and this heat is drawn from your skin surface, cooling it (this kind of allows heat to move from a colder to a hotter environment, unlike passive cooling). At 37°C, there's no longer any passive cooling, and active cooling needs to handle 2°C/day.<p>But hotter than that, and things get worse: the environment is now <i>passively warming you up</i>. By 43°C, that's now 3°C/day of heat that needs to shed, and 49°C ups it to 4°C/day. At some point, you're going to overwhelm the ability of active cooling to cool you down, and the passive heating is <i>still</i> going to warm you up even if you shut down metabolism. Even worse is if sweating <i>isn't</i> effective at cooling down--at high humidities, the sweat won't evaporate and the cooling effect won't happen. (This also illustrates why heat-and-humidity can be deadly even at below-body-temperature environments.)<p>This analysis was purely done for humans, but it's pretty similar for most organisms, just with different set points for core body temperature and active cooling mechanisms. Fundamentally, extreme cold is "easy" to handle--just slow down heat loss; extreme heat requires developing ways of pumping heat from a hot reservoir to a cold reservoir, which thermodynamics does not look kindly on. | null | jcranmer | null | 1,656,510,870 | "2022-06-29T13:54:30Z" | comment | 31,920,123 | 31,919,035 | null | null | null |

265 | null | null | Although Soviet filmmakers in the 1920s disagreed about how exactly to view montage, Sergei Eisenstein marked a note of accord in "A Dialectic Approach to Film Form" when he noted that montage is "the nerve of cinema", and that "to determine the nature of montage is to solve the specific problem of cinema". Its influence is far reaching commercially, academically, and politically. Alfred Hitchcock cites editing (and montage indirectly) as the lynchpin of worthwhile filmmaking. In fact, montage is demonstrated in the majority of narrative fiction film available today. Post-Soviet film theories relied extensively on montage’s redirection of film analysis toward language, a literal grammar of film. A semiotic understanding of film, for example, is indebted to and in contrast with Sergei Eisenstein’s wanton transposition of language “in ways that are altogether new.” While several Soviet filmmakers, such as Lev Kuleshov, Dziga Vertov, Esfir Shub and Vsevolod Pudovkin put forth explanations of what constitutes the montage effect, Eisenstein's view that "montage is an idea that arises from the collision of independent shots" wherein "each sequential element is perceived not next to the other, but on top of the other" has become most widely accepted.<p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_montage_theory" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_montage_theory</a> | null | Fricken | null | 1,494,491,615 | "2017-05-11T08:33:35Z" | comment | 14,314,621 | 14,314,176 | null | null | null |

Sure there's <i>some</i> within that upper class that might want it, but I'd say it's a tiny minority of classists and not the upper class overall. But I also believe that in these countries the upper class is closer to the middle/lower classes, while in the USA I can see how the huge gap might make more people in the upper class think that it's an impossible goal and just give up and try to isolate the classes. | null | franciscop | null | 1,650,804,593 | "2022-04-24T12:49:53Z" | comment | 31,143,465 | 31,143,279 | null | null | null |

287 | null | null | > Matrix is basically a case study in how not to design a federated chat protocol. It's bloated, it ignores all prior art and reinvents the wheel everywhere it can, and its excessive complexity means there is unlikely to ever be a wide ecosystem of good-quality implementations (especially of servers).<p>Hi, I've worked on client and server implementations of both XMPP and Matrix. This is a wildly inaccurate - but unfortunately common - view of things.<p>It's correct that Matrix is complex to implement server-side, more complex than XMPP, and it's also correct that it does a lot of things very differently from older protocols like XMPP. But here's the thing - that's a <i>deliberate choice</i> and it is for good reasons, not just a case of ignorance or "bloat" like you seem to be implying.<p>(Sidenote: if there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that somebody talking about "bloat" is a huge red flag that they don't have a very deep understanding of something. If you have a genuine complaint about unnecessary complexity, you should be able to point it out specifically, instead of a handwavy term like that.)<p>Anyway, to get back to the point... much of the complexity in Matrix comes from a single design objective that differs from XMPP: it implements <i>decentralized</i> rooms instead of centralized ones. That is, rooms are not dependent on a single server for their continued existence, they will remain available regardless of server availability.<p>This might seem irrelevant, but it solves a huge problem that XMPP has been struggling with for years, and that IMO is a major reason why its MUCs never became widespread: the problem of putting trust in a server operator for the continued existence of your community.<p>Every single time you create a MUC in XMPP, you are essentially betting on the continued existence of whatever server you are creating that MUC on. If it ever goes away, so does your community - and unlike with a list of private contacts, it's hard to rebuild a community. That's a tremendous cognitive overhead for starting a community! And one that most non-techies - understandably - do not want to have to deal with. Trust is hard.<p>Matrix doesn't have this problem because of its decentralized rooms; it doesn't matter how many servers go away, as long as the homeserver of at least one room participant still exists, the room continues functioning as it always has. That means that you create a room "on Matrix", not "on a specific homeserver". That's much easier for users to deal with.<p>The tradeoff is that unlike with XMPP, where you have a single authorative server for handling things like access control and moderation and membership, this needs to function entirely decentrally in Matrix - so now, the network is suddenly a distributed system that needs to handle state synchronization and everything that that entails.<p>And <i>that</i> is where the server-side complexity in Matrix comes from. It is necessary, unavoidable complexity if you want to solve the problem of "where do I put my community" in a way that actually works for regular users. It sucks, but there simply is no simpler way to solve this problem.<p>The reason XMPP doesn't have this complexity is because it doesn't even <i>try</i> to solve this problem. If the rumoured decentralized MUCs ever become a thing, they will involve similar complexity.<p>Edit: Also, it would be nice if y'all recognized that the priority should be to get the general public over to open comms systems, instead of constantly trying to start wars against Matrix folks. The constant loud misinformation and attacks are getting very exhausting. | null | joepie91_ | null | 1,650,804,627 | "2022-04-24T12:50:27Z" | comment | 31,143,467 | 31,137,588 | null | null | null |

293 | null | null | > I do not think that ADHD as diagnosed in most people is a real disorder.<p>Undiagnosed and untreated ADHD (which is underdiagnosed and untreated in adults and especially in women) can be a debilitating condition that will fuck your life up deeply, and there's ample evidence about this from peer-reviewed medical journals (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4195639/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4195639/</a>, among others, look at the "The Impact of ADHD During Adulthood" section). Just because <i>you</i> managed to "sleep / eating / exercise" your way out of your situation doesn't mean that everyone else with ADHD is able to do the same thing.<p>I’m willing to be critical of psychiatry, and there definitely are people who are diagnosed with it who don’t have it / don’t benefit from / don't need medication, but the "overdiagnosis" moral panic (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/articles/17709814/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/articles/17709814/</a>) causes real harm to people who actually end up needing medical access. | null | zkms | null | 1,486,608,896 | "2017-02-09T02:54:56Z" | comment | 13,604,255 | 13,603,167 | null | null | null |

299 | null | null | The evidence probably supports that if the <i>majority</i> of constituents support something that isn't clearly unconstitutional it does tend to happen. See weed legalization in many states which at least in Massachusetts passed in a ballot question with the legislature kicking and screaming through the whole process. | null | ghaff | null | 1,646,419,248 | "2022-03-04T18:40:48Z" | comment | 30,558,650 | 30,558,520 | null | null | null |
