I guess we're talking a bit past each other and I'm talking myself into a circle as well, but let me try and clarify:

> In that case, India falsifies your theory. Virtually all of India - including the professional class - is stuck in material deprivation vastly worse than American poverty - the average American poor consumer unit consumes $20k/year, while Indian GDP/Capita is $6k/year (adjusted for cost of living).

Here by "bad" choices I meant "bad from comfortable western observer's point of view". The decisions are probably mostly good from the POV of the poor person involved. People in India are stuck im material deprivation because of the environment - the state in phase space in which their society is in. Similarly, many poor people in western countries.

> Actually, now that I think of it, English literature adjuncts are another counterexample.

Sadly, I don't know anything about this class of people.

> Why financial? Why not just fix malnourishment directly?

I don't think anybody will say that this isn't helpful. It is. Hell, it's almost as good as giving money away, assuming you cater to his particular needs - take into account what foods he absolutely dislikes, his time schedule, his allergies, etc. Because if you don't, if it's MIL-STD-01 meal pack 3 times a day, this is robbing one from dignity and in case of people with allergies / some types of mental conditions it's stress-inducing.

People generally have a need of control over their own fate. It's a base Maslovian need. Most of the in-kind conditional help as implemented in today's welfare denies the beneficiaries such control. This has a serious psychological impact, and you don't have to look further than mental institutions and care houses to see the problems it causes. Or even observe how people abuse welfare or even refuse it at all in order to cling to any semblance of control over their lives they have left. Handing out cash empowers people. They can chose their meal, chose what they invest in, chose their direction.

Another keyword (an almost-synonym to FAE) I forgot about - correspondence bias. The general direction I'm trying to point towards is the one presented by things like Stanford Prison Experiment, Milgram Conformity Experiment, FAE/correspondence bias, the entire economy and game theory - that people's decisions and outcomes are generally predictable based mostly on things external to them. That people follow incentives, determined by things like their mental state, stress, environment, available opportunities, etc. - and that explaining something away as "laziness" or "bad character" or "irresponsibility" is in most cases counterproductive.

If I manage to get hold of a semi-decent Internet connection (allowing to load anything better than plaintext) tomorrow I'll look for links to some sources.
Making one big partition isn't the best idea because OpenBSD defaults the way it does for stability, data integrity and, a big surprise... security reasons[0].

That said, you shouldn't run out of space in the default partitions when building the system (ports are another story).

As far as I know the installer defaults to giving you around 2GB in /usr/src (which is more than enough to hold the source and build everything) and if the disk isn't big enough to do that, it won't partition it (60GB is big enough to get a separate /usr/src so 120GB is surely enough).

This assumes the instructions[1] are followed so everything is put in the right places and all the object files aren't dumped into the partition. Other than that, I don't know what could have went wrong.

If by people you mean "Hacker News crowd", I don't know.

If by people you mean "people in general", just look at their respective website. The answer is rather obvious.

I contemplated over which password manager to use before deciding on 1Password simply because of its simplicity and usability. I try to be as aware of my privacy and security as possible and even though I was aware of this leak beforehand, I went with 1Password anyway.

"Hacker News crowd" (to be clear, I'm not using this in a derogatory way) usually think about security in terms of how things work technically, but practicality is just as important. If some piece of software is secure but not usable, that doesn't do any good to the user.

KeePassX is plain ugly, has a terrible website that doesn't give any confidence and scares the user by giving them technical details right out of the gate (check their website). I get that it's open source, it's free, probably more secure than 1Password and they most likely don't have enough income to hire as talented designers as AgileBits already employ, but that just doesn't matter to the user.
You leave Condoleeza out of this!
Given the current trends that I've been seeing, I think you could probably pencil in $0 for IBM software sales in 2019 anyway.

IBM doesn't seem to be very interested in selling software.
Yes it's true that clients should have a right to inspect code for potential malevolence, especially when geopolitics are at play. However the article is peppered with qualifications:

“As everybody knows, there’s a tacit understanding that if you want to do business in China, you need to show them how this stuff works,”

"there’s definitely a little bit of: ‘Can we reverse engineer this?’"

“For IBM to do this is a little ballsy.”

I think in general we're far too willing, far too often, to dismiss Chinese business tactics as benevolent.
I suppose the next question is how does the ad blocker detect circumvention techniques?

If you have experience in this I would love to read about some of it as it sounds fascinating.
As a Los Angeles resident, when I experimented with Amazon Fresh, it required a Prime Fresh subscription. I don't recall it ever being free. The $300 annual subscription, when combined with my assessment that the value I received for that $300 was very low, is the reason I did not renew.

That said, I can understand offended customers taking to Twitter to express their frustration. Sometimes, it's not quite enough of a signal to simply not renew a subscription. If you want the company to actually understand why you didn't renew and possibly improve in ways that matter to you as a customer, you must communicate your displeasure in some way. These tweets are just a convenient way to be heard. And lo, here is an article republishing them, possibly to Amazon's frustration.

I love the free market, and recognize that consumer demand is a very strong signal, ultimately the most important signal for a supplier. But I don't see why consumers shouldn't augment that signal with plain old English.

So, if it isn't working for a company, then it's time to pursue another business model.

For most businesses that isn't actually an option. You can only try something else if you have the necessary capital to fund a pivot, and few businesses do. The majority of sites you use won't try something else; they'll close down instead.

That's fine, it happens to a large percentage of businesses, and they'll be replaced by new businesses trying new ideas. I'm pointing out that "Try a new business model" is rarely an option. "fail fast" is a startup maxim for a reason. If you don't discover what isn't working quickly you'll just plain fail.
Before you run migrating to OPVault do note that at this moment it is not supported on the Android app.
What makes you believe KeePassX is "probably more secure" than 1Password? I have the opposite impression.
Decent != good. 1Password is really, really good.
You also probably never ran your own mail server and wondered why some people aren't responding to your mails. :)

I can't wait for more automation to hit US ports. I'm all for decent wages, but dockworkers get paid so much they end up behaving a lot like oilfield workers. Dockworkers are a prime example of what gives unions a bad name.
My only problem with that is that it stores stuff in different files, iirc, which you kind of have to name something recognizable. That is, the file names are exposed, which if you name them, for example, by which site they access, then presumably someone could figure out which sites you use. Of course, since they're all different files, that also adds some security I think.
Finding the best layout of a UI using a machine learning algorithm is an example of what I meant. In theory it means you don't really need a UX team or a UI team alongside an engineering team.

I went back and re-read the interview and I believe I'm channeling Eric properly.
The real automation in the Rotterdam port is the Automatic Guided Vehicle system that moves containers between the loading cranes and a container re-arranging system that optimizes the placement of containers dock side.

The loading cranes themselves are only remote control on the deep water side, and this is for health and safety reasons. The cranes for the trains and barges for the hinterland are sit-in cabs.

Love this. Beautiful execution. Would be cool to see how prominently the font is used on each site – viz., what percentage of text on the site uses that font. Also, it would be great to stylize each font name with the font itself. Great work guys.
It's the other way around: mathematics is derived from physics.

If I republish, yes.

If I just download a site – for local use, or similar cases – it’s not an issue.

And if I provide a scraper where the user customly has to enter the URL, it’s also technically just a very advanced webproxy, and also okay.

I manage money for a living and I always get fascinated with frauds and "bullshit businesses" for shorting. This whole flap is so funny to me because about a year ago after reading a few things about Theranos and hearing a few anecdotes from people in the lab business, I thought to myself, "Man, I wish this company was public so I could short it." There were just so many of these little red flags.

Anyway, in these situations the response from the company often gives the best indication of how genuinely dire things are. In my experience, Theranos' response has been really, really worrisome. The hasty Cramer appearance (Mad Money??? Uhhh, this isn't a public company). The lawyered-up non-denials and general evasiveness. The editing of the website. The world's most expensive attorneys. The threats to the now-deceased co-founder (realize this was not a response to the WSJ, but still). The reluctant bending to FDA requests.

If this company was public it would be my largest short.
good to see a unikernel for c++
I am skeptical that this will be kept up to date when a new manager thinks it's "good enough" and takes the wind out of the sails. Or if someone gets laid off that's in charge of the project. If they were to open source this project it would continue to live on even if the original contributors are no longer involved.

Open Source always wins in cases like this.

I have no idea, to be honest. I probably said that because it's open source (and I'm aware that "open source" isn't synonymous with "secure").

Come to think of it, I shouldn't have said that because I have no empirical evidence one way or the other.

I tend to think that people underestimate the cognitive load that would be imposed as a result of dealing with the world in such a 'rational' way, and that's why we don't see it.

Permit the use of an analogy.

I've been poor. When you're poor, you agonize over every financial decision. At least, I did. You walk through a supermarket trying to buy the absolute cheapest variety of protein. Maybe you go to another supermarket and see if you can get it cheaper. Do you get the bus to see a friend? It'd be a lot better to stash that five quid away for some inevitable future expense.

It's paralyzing. You spend so much time playing this little game for every minor thing that others may well take for granted that you hardly get anything done if you're not careful.

Having battled my way through that.. it seems as if there's a whole new level, a new stage, called 'ethics', that people seem to be taking to an extreme extent in some areas.

I choose my battles; there are a few things I do personally that most don't, to 'save the world'. But for me to deeply care about the full externalities of everything I do (and seek out alternatives) is simply untenable. There's too much out there.

Blocking ads is so far along the spectrum of 'things I might do that might be bad' that it doesn't even register.

Similarly I'm not going to think about the carbon impact of every foodstuff I buy. I'm not going to agonize over taking the bus.

I just do things, to get on with my life. It's really probably not all that bad; sometimes I wonder where people get the energy, the wherewithal, from, to inject so much drama into seemingly minor problems.

I block ads; I don't block ads; the internet exists; the content might change; it really doesn't matter. The world continues to spin. We didn't even have this 'Internet', a few short decades ago. We may not even have it soon. Enjoy it; revel in it!

edit: to elucidate further...

If I have a particular issue that I really care about; say it's animal welfare. It benefits my cause; it benefits me directly; if I (mostly) single-track in order to deal with it.

Maybe I care about global warming, but maybe it's easier for me to make the Vegan Festival if I take the car.

That really is it, I think. People fixate on the activity itself (ad blocking) and don't look at the general framework of the life it fits within. Too... extreme.
I can already get free same-day delivery from Amazon or various grocery stores via Amazon Prime Now (I'm in Manhattan). What does an extra $200/year get me?
I'd love to see some consolidated efforts here. I'm currently looking at rumprun but need to support Java and at least I haven't found anyone who's done that successfully. So now I'm also looking at OSv which looks like it's trying to be compatible with Docker.
Nope but KeePassX has an advertising budget of ~$0 so people don't know about it. It is hard enough persuading people to use a password manager already.
I think it is just how the .zip format works, not just the WinZip program. It's very easy to get around that though by double zipping.
Nice, I have used this service before (along with http://mxtoolbox.com/ and http://www.checktls.com/), I'm up to 9/10 now for my private mail server (on Digital Ocean), still working on getting DKIM to work.

But, even scoring 9/10, I still have a lot of trouble sending mail to people on hotmail/live/outlook. I have contacted Microsoft and after getting the advice to not send bulk mails (I don't) a couple of times, I finally got a human to respond. This person admitted that their spam filter is an outsourced black box over which they have no influence. I should try to use proper formatting and hope for the best...

So I don't know how useful this score is in the real world.

Edit (some more mail server pain): The first mail I sent from my own server was a mail to all my friends informing them of my new email address. at that time I didn't have spf configured and used a self signed cert. So I would be 7/10. All Yahoo contacts answered me that I was permanently banned. None of them ever receive any of my mails.
Simple Tabs in AngularJS with AngularStrap
I disagree. As per the porn example in the article, and many other fathomable situations, metadata in a password manager can be as important, and sometimes more sensitive, than the password itself.
Java's drawn-out death
i agree.

In my opinion, when they came up with the new data format (OPVault), they should have made some kind of in-app notification/workflow to let people automatically convert to this new format.
Nobody reads all release notes, it's impossible. If you're not a computer nerd, you're using the old format forever.
I've also complained about this on their blog at the time.

By the way, the fact that not "everything" is encrypted is - sadly - also stated on their website: https://support.1password.com/opvault-design/

> The Agile Keychain kept some information (most notably Location and Title) unencrypted so that these could be used to search for or identify a particular item, while the more sensitive content could remain encrypted. With the Agile Keychain format, the browser extensions could identify and list potential matches for a website without having to be “unlocked”. With the OPVault format, we have moved away from that. The user must unlock the data with their Master Password before they can see a list of Logins.
Fair play to them for trying, but this approach will only work for sites that host or create original content.

If it's a site that just runs Reuters feeds or press releases with some 'editorialisation' then they'll likely feel the impact of the back-button.

Recently I tried searching for details of the new Light.co camera. The first two pages of Google results were filled with exactly the same release, regurgitated on dozens of websites. None of them were useful to me, but it shows how much competition there is for eyeballs.
This is why I think shorts provide a valuable service to the economy. They have an incentive to snuff out fraud and deception in publicly traded companies and act as a bulwark against that sort of behavior.

Sadly we don't have an equivalent for privately traded firms.
> People who say Erlang is a functional language are looking on the wrong level of abstraction. Processes are objects!

People thinking those two are mutually exclusive are not getting the difference between the map and the territory :).

I worked a bit with Erlang professionally. Erlang is both functional and object-oriented, if you think about Smalltalk-style OOP and not Java-style OOP (the constant confusion between the concepts of those two is incidentally why I think that most things written about OOP are bullshit - they focus on wrong details; I've seen even university courses confusing the shit out of students by calling C++ methods 'message passing' and objects as equivalent to 'actors').

RE the problem of black boxes - black boxes are cool, what's not cool is if the interface you use to talk to black boxes is in itself confusing. In the example GP posted, it's not clear on first and second thought what exactly does the middle line mean - if it is a value, evaluates to a value, evaluates to a value with side effects, possibly taking your control flow for a sightseeing trip around the Moon, etc.

Also, in real world, we have to have some idea of what the black box is really doing. The only value that comes from assuming something is like "a remote web service" is knowing that it probably sucks, it's totally unreliable, if it responds at all it's after time noticeable to end user of your program, and you have to plan for it disappearing at any moment because the founder takes exit money or forgets to renew a domain. Yes, you could program treating everything like a web startup, but few simple assumptions like "this is inside my program so it responds fast and lives as long as the rest of the program does" can help tremendously improve the speed of coding and the speed of the program itself.
we haven't really seen anything yet.. no code, paper or whatsoever, not sure what to expect
Looks great! I've been thinking about developing something similar for some time. I'll definitely be contributing to this project.
Adding that explanation and a short screencast/teaser-video to the homepage would do wonders. Some users are naturally cautious and skeptical, so giving them a little more to go on (before asking them to authenticate) might raise your conversion rate quite a bit.
Scaling import tariffs tied directly to public human rights data concerning each country of origin.

No elections in past 10 years, +5% tariff, suppressing political parties, +5% tariff, imprisoning journalists, +5% tariff, internet censorship, +5% tariff, etc.

If equities complain just repeatedly assert that they are anti-freedom and support human rights abuses, and can either lobby other nations to improve their records or have tariff free trade with existing democracies instead.
I have heard the argument that religious morality arises when human groups become big enough to grant anonymity to individuals. When individuals can't keep track of everyone in their community it becomes important that everyone internalize's the communities ethical and moral standards of behavior.
I remember those days - using the Safari extension could display login options to a site before a Master Password was entered. It always bothered me but I wasn't tech-savvy and security conscious enough back then to look into it. When that possibility ended, I was relieved - wrongfully, I now see.
Do you have a writeup of what it does to the music?

All the writeups I've seen on your blog describe the web stack and frontend, but not how you are manipulating the music.
>You'd never encrypt a password but leave all the filenames/directories viewable without the password...

I'm still not convinced that it isn't acceptable to leave your filenames/usernames still visible without the password for ANY password manager.

The first point is a valid concern, but minor. His second point is really only relevant to this 1password service.

Reason I ask is because I use pass + remote git server. Pass doesn't encrypt the filenames so the files are easily searchable. Are there any risks to this method?
They did not mention whether non-US residents are included in this program or not.
