pass - the standard unix password manager

Password management should be simple and follow Unix philosophy. With pass,
each password lives inside of a gpg encrypted file whose filename is the
title of the website or resource that requires the password. These encrypted
files may be organized into meaningful folder hierarchies, copied from
computer to computer, and, in general, manipulated using standard command
line file management utilities.

Isn't it more about charing technicians for Samsug approved training, and a Samsung approved technician certification, and renewal fees each year to keep the listing in some Samsung approved technician list, and fees to access the Samsung approved repository of watermarked manuals?

The kruger-Dunning crowd would just ignore all that and have a go anyway ("How hard can it be?")
Note that in the article linked above, no real matter is created, just configurations that "act" as matter.

However, from [1]:

> [...] scientists at Imperial College London (including a visiting physicist from Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics) think they’ve figured out how to turn energy directly into matter [...] Their article in Nature Photonics proposes that a new kind of collider be built, one that smashes photons instead of protons, as at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN where the Higgs boson was discovered last year.

Of course, this probably requires much more energy.

Evolution of node-postgres (Gource Visualization)
A big (biggest?) reason is that popularity is largely independent of quality. Things get popular for lots of reasons heavily affected by the shape of social networks and early choices by a small number of people involved—often based on what they have and have not heard of more than an analysis of what is better or worse. Quality plays a small role at best.

This Nautil.us article[1] does a good job of summarizing the relevant research on the issue and references some supporting studies.

> My own research has shown that fame has much less to do with intrinsic quality than we believe it does, and much more to do with the characteristics of the people among whom fame spreads.

Put another way: the web has a direct impact on billions of people less because it's any good and more because popularity is inherently a power law and it happened to come out ahead. This doesn't invalidate any criticisms of quality!

It's perfectly possible if not likely for something popular to be crappy because most things are crappy and that's not enough to stop them from getting popular. Then they require tons of engineering effort and hacks to scale and improve again not because of quality but because of legacy. The web is what's there already, after all!

That's how things are, but that doesn't mean it's inevitable or a good state of affairs.

I really wish people wouldn't conflate popularity, quality and success. The first two operate on different axes and the last, if it doesn't, should.

To be fair most electronics these days are not made with fix-ability in mind but them again that takes extra effort on the engineers part which would make the unit more expensive and less people would buy it.

Then again if the marketed it right a lot of the tinkerers would probably go for it.

Plus the reason Samsung recommends qualified shops is because at the end of the day electronics can be dangerous if you are not careful.

Touching a charged high voltage capacitor could give you a nasty shock or even kill you so it's not for everybody.

If i had to complain about something it would be that the repair shop is charging too much for a very simple job.
Compare to e.g. AmigaOS or Atari's own GEM for the ST/TT line and you'll see what he means. It's much closer to the original MacOS style than the main alternatives of the period.
What do you mean by being high enough density to support them? Light rail is rarely as economical of a solution as many suggest simply because of the routes it has to take in some cities and going underground just raises the cost exponentially. The cost per mile to develop and maintain rarely comes even close to efficient of above ground solutions. Portland is looking to spend two billion on a line simply because it does go underground. There is no possible pay back.

So don't discount bus service and other alternatives. This romance with rail, either above or below ground, sucks up way too much funding for what it delivers.

>You'll need HTTP to run server code

It's better if your application is redesigned to be distributed on a fundamental level, but you can still send custom data through IPFS in a standard client/server relationship if you want to, see http://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmTkzDwWqPbnAh5YiV5VwcTLnGdwSNsN... for an example.

>I for one will not be hosting a node where arbitrary code can be run

This isn't a distributed computation platform like Ethereum, it's purely for transferring files, and the only files you host are those that you explicitly request. Also, IPFS is not a blockchain with a 51% to take over, it's an entirely different animal, the only way to redirect a site is with the correct associated public/private key (unless SHA-256 gets broken at some point in which case IPFS migrates to a different hashing algorithm).

Pre-school "academic" what? I can't
think of anything very significant
and non-trivial
in academics before, say, the ninth
grade. Academics can start to
get severe for some majors by, say,
the junior year of college, e.g., a
physics major may want to know
differential geometry and exterior
algebra. The real challenge in
academics is research, if want to
take such a career direction.

Learn "the days of the week"? Can't

Maybe Mom or Dad went over them

The alphabet? There is a little

Reading? Somehow by the
second grade or so, I basically knew
how to read. Arithmetic? Learn
to add and subtract single digit
numbers and memorize
the multiplication table, and then
apply those to the rest of arithmetic.

I have a friend who went to a terrible
school, and somewhere in the early
grades got sick and was at home for
some days. There his mother was
shocked to discover that he couldn't
read. So, in two weeks, she taught
him. He was PBK at Suny and got his
Ph.D. in mathematics at Courant.

Seems like everyone build this scheme. Seriously, there are many browser plugins and websites implementing it, and almost all of them ignore research (I'm guilty too). Also, most of them use fast hash functions instead of proper password hashes.

Here's a quick analysis of pros and cons of password generators compared to password managers: http://crypto.stackexchange.com/a/5691/291

I used a password generator (my own) for a few years, and I'm happy to use a password manager now, which is safer and makes me avoid keeping certain information in my mind (e.g. if I already have an account on this website and what's my username for it).
I would love to see a video of this British TV show, is it on Youtube anywhere that you know.

I don't know a whole lot about Tesla's life, but those don't particularly strike me as elements of a great / saleable screenplay. Not that that necessarily matters, the established way around that is to just make shit up. I guess what I am saying is, be careful what you wish for.

btw in practice "big time visuals" means "spending a lot of money on a biography of somebody only a few nerds are interested in". It's not necessarily a selling point.

Edit: A Tesla / Edison feud movie in the style or Rocky or Frost/Nixon might work. You'd have to change the ending obviously.
Tokyo "downtown" doesn't have most of its transit above ground. There are only ~3 lines above ground in the center of Tokyo. The Yamanote, the Chou, and the Sobu lines. Compared to 14 below ground. And, they've built plenty of new lines underground. The Oedo line which opened in 2003 is entirely underground. The Fukutoshinsen line which opened in 2013 is entirely underground. The Tsukuba line, 2005, is underground at least downtown.

It's often said the being in the subway in Tokyo is one of the safest places to be in an earthquake. It might be scary but things are less likely to fall from 10 to 20 stories on your head like they are in outdoors in Tokyo.

http://blogdowntown.com/2012/08/6959-metro-tunnels-are-one-o...

On top of that for a place like SF subways don't have to be deep. It's not like there's 100 meters of earth above the subway. There's the street, under which there's the line. The only thing above your head is effectively a bridge construction except unlike a bridge it's got continuous support instead of a leg every 50 meters.

> Quality plays a small role at best.

This is simply not true in the long-term. Good technologies survive because they are useful.

Of course quality is not enough to ensure success, but it sure as hell matters for long-term survival. Homer, Shakespeare and the wheel survived because they are very good / useful. Are there lost Homers? Of course there are. Will the Web survive 100 years? I have no idea, and neither do you. A decade? Most likely.

Be careful with conflating what is with your idea of what something should be. If you think something sucks and work on making it better, that's great! Keep doing it, and maybe someday we will have something that's even better. But don't diss the popular just because it isn't ticking all of the "it-should-be-this" boxes.

What, you don't have all night jam sessions at your 3 bedroom house in San Fran? Just picking yourself up by your bootstraps, struggling to make it, in your 3 bedroom house in San Fran. You know, down in the much and the mire, busting out LoC tirelessly while worrying about how you're gonna keep the lights on, in your 3 bedroom house in San Fran...

This reminds me when I asked a person who is now a "worlds youngest self made billionaire" club member how they possibly built paid their bills while in the early phases of their startup, that time when you're too small to even consider funding, but big enough to warrant a couple hires to help lay a foundation. The reply, "Ha! [founder's name]'s family is loaded...".

That's when I realized I had worked on the underlying skills, I had ideas, but I missed the most important part... money and/or rich friends.
Like most people, your links confuse people by combining St. Louis city with St. Louis county. However, St. Louis county is not part of St. Louis city. The statistics, such as this and the too often ballyhooed crime stats, are falsely skewed. It's like taking the crime stats of the baddest part of your town alone to represent the crime (or education) of your city as a whole.

Here's another example. The City of St. Louis has a population of under 300K. The County of St. Louis has a population of over one million! And that does NOT include St. Louis city. It's both fair and unfair to not include St. Charles City in this (for reasons I won't go into) which includes another 300K. So most stats you read about St. Louis are based on 300K out of a total population of 1.6 million! And the city is the baddest part of town.

Not that I don't agree that there is disparity but, as someone else pointed out, it's by choice, not anything the government does. That's another story, a truth, that no one on HN wants to believe and would downvote me into oblivion if I stated it.

I did read the article. I find it incredible how it pays absolutely no attention to the fact that he became a millionaire through RedSwoosh and how this allowed him to invest in your startup and "show up at your office one or two days a week" if he felt like it.

My issue isn't with him specifically, more the sense of entitlement of the industry and the press.

You can't really have a paradigm shift without a foundation. Apple had a long history in software before the iPhone, SpaceX and Tesla have been leveraging the US long history of car and space industry etc.

As far as I know the US does not have a very good foundation for public infrastructure projects nor the cooperation between public and private entities. What you need to do is, like China, buy the best proven technology currently available. Then after you've made that work, take all that knowledge and invent the next big thing.

They do indeed support LLVM IR target(s) that are, in fact, much more architecturally-nonspecific than PNaCl, namely the

target. See https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIR and /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenCL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/openclc (on a Mac, since 10.7).

Ask HN: Where's All the Entrepreneurship / Bootstrapping Content?
I've noticed that HN seems to have seen a drop-off in the amount of entrepreneurship content these days. At the same time, bootstrappers.io seems to mostly be dead or at least quiet. And /r/entrepreneur has the usual Reddit problems of being 99% beginner questions, as far as I can see.

Is there another place the entrepreneurship crowd-curated content can be found? I don't think the volume of content has dropped off, but it doesn't seem to be bubbling up on the link aggregators I'm aware of.

(My working definition of "Entrepreneurship content": stuff aimed at bootstrapped or otherwise sub-$1m MRR companies, talking business strategy, tactics, everything from developing product ideas to marketing. )
I love R and I love programming in it, but I have always thought I need to learn Julia due to a few things including speed, but that the R community keeps coming out with great answers to those questions where Julia keeps my interest. I don't see how this would speed up my typical R programming or code to be worth learning Haskell. What am I missing and yes I read the whole article.

I have found Haskell very difficult to use with Cabal and its package management. The reason I went to Haskell was to teach myself functional programming. After struggling and going through 2 books I still felt like I hated Haskell due to making the environment just work. I work in three different locations and to get all 5 computers to work in Haskell was a serious pain. This lead me to see what else is out there. It lead me to https://www.coursera.org/course/proglang which introduced me to Racket and I loved it and felt that Racket was the perfect fit for me.

That's a very popular scheme.

The major downside is that site saying "your password must [not] contain blah-blah-blah"/"be N to M characters long"/"may contain only digits" when the generated one just happens to not conform to such restriction. In my personal experience, one out of dozen sites tries to be smartass about the passwords, so the scheme is a PITA in the long run.

Without the increment you also can't rotate password, while with the increment you need to store the increment value (and if you do keep the notes and the master secret, why not just remember the password already?)

The password managers are more flexible than password generators, because they don't have such limitations.
Same thing happened to me. Card got expired but they wouldn't let us add a new card (or payment method as they call it) because the account was in some invalid state. When asked what it was, they couldn't give the details due to legal reasons.

We created a new account with a new card and migrated our AWS infrastructure. Unfortunately we still have to use AWS..for now.
