I don't feel like this article does a good job making its case. Java won't live or die with Oracle.

It's been a long time (or perhaps never) that the source code had any real value. The value is in the organization - as in both meanings of the word. The noun - organization as legal entity. And the verbish meaning - the organization of all that complexity towards getting something accomplished.

Also, I think all software systems tend to be improved by having more people look at the code. It eliminates the temptation of "security through obscurity".

So if you're not willing to show your stuff, you either a) still falsely believe that your code has intrinsic value, or b) you are ashamed of or at least don't have much confidence in your code.

"Launch" of an airliner program does not refer to the first airframe going into service; it refers to the point where the manufacturer officially announces the program to airlines and begins taking orders. Typically the actual aircraft is years from being assembled and flying when that occurs (for example, Boeing launched the 777X program in 2013, and currently plans for the first actual 777X aircraft to enter service in 2020).

Steve Jobs: Hippy, Apple Boss and Icon
Hello all, I'm the Chief Defender Against the Dark Arts at AgileBits, the makers of 1Password.

The discussion and analysis in Dale Myers' article is very good, although someone who just reads the headline could very easily come away with the wrong impression.

The "older" .agilekeychain format (AKF) — designed nearly a decade ago – does indeed expose the same sorts of information that would be in someone's browser bookmarks. So if someone gets hold of your AKF data they will be able to see what sites you have Logins for and what titles you have for your items.

Given the constraints we faced back then, that might have been a reasonable design choice at the time. But it is certainly not an acceptable design choice today.

The article does point out that that the OPVault data format was introduced as a replacement for the AKF back in December 2012. The OPVault format not only encrypts much more of the metadata, but it also provides for authenticated encryption and includes many other improvements.

The article also points out that the behavior of the AKF "discovered" is documented in many places. We've blogged about it, we've talked about it on our discussion forums and it is in the docs. What isn't in place is some big red letters in the user interface that says "Using this format leaves URLs and Titles unencrypted".

Dale Myers' article also correctly points out that we do offer instructions on how to migrate your data from the Agile Keychain format to OPVault.

The article criticizes us for
(a) Not making OPVault the default for new Dropbox synching, and
(b) Not providing a nice easy way to migrate

Obviously we would love to see everyone on the new data format. It is a big improvement over the old one in an enormous number of respects, but until we can be confident that everyone is running clients on all of their platforms that can handle the new format, we are treating migration as an "expert only" thing.

Rolling out a data format change when you have one "product" and one platform is easy. But we need to make make sure that people are using versions (and that such versions are available) of 1Password that handle the new format on all of the devices that they sync with.

So if we were to make OPVault the default sync format on Mac, we would need to know that the 1Password app people are using on Windows. We have been conservative about this.

Also, in our beta testing of data migration, we discovered a nasty bug in how we encoded keys for the some attachments. The result is that some of our beta testers would have lost data if they had not had good backups of their AKF data. Obviously, that is not something we wanted to push into general release. (Only attachments created in specific circumstances were victims of that, so we didn't spot it in internal testing.)

Now you may very well disagree with some of our judgement calls, particularly about how cautious we have been and continue to be in migrating people to the new format. But I hope that even if you do disagree, you will see that there are reasons for our choices.

Partially in response to your other post as well, I've also seen it hypothesized that the collision that produced Earth's moon stripped away most of Earth's atmosphere, the idea being that Venus' atmosphere may actually be the "normal" atmosphere for an Earth-sized planet.

As usual, the core problem is just that our data set is too darned small. Is our Solar System mostly normal? Is our Solar System a bizarre, billions-to-one odds freak case? We don't really know.
Ask HN: System visualization tools?
Certain industries put together beautiful visualizations of how their systems operate. Chemical plants provide a visualization of their pipes, pumps, tanks, and other equipment that engineers can monitor and manipulate in real time.

Why don't we use this type of visualization more in the software industry? We love graphs, but tend to stop there.

What tools and techniques do you use to display and manipulate your systems? Netflix Hystrix [1] is an example of a useful interactive dashboard, but I've rarely seen others. What else is out there?

If you were going to build one from scratch (either in the browser or as a native client), what technology would you use?

Then change the law so that authorities within rule of the Law address the issue. Outing people, be they gun owners in NY state or water abusers in LA is harassment.

This is not that different from J. Edgar Hoover threatening to "out" homosexuals who didn't do his bidding in the 50s; at the time homosexuality offended the sensibilities of people in the same way that water wastage offends some today.

We might agree with the merits of limiting water use, and celebrate our advancement in the treatment of sexual minorities (I do for both), but harassment outside of the Law is abuse.

I'm not sure that Airbus and Boeing have much to fear from the C919, though I'm sure it'll sell well enough in China.

Aircraft purchasers are conservative, and they're much more concerned about operating costs, reliability, availability of third party maintenance and type-rated pilots and residual values than they are about acquisition costs, with the 737 and A320 enjoying massive brand and network effects. You only have to look at the struggles of the Sukhoi Superjet to find buyers outside Russia for what is reportedly a very decent modern aircraft. It's also a racing certainty that COMAC will suffer similar if not worse problems with delays and complications to the programme. Launching all-new aircraft is hard even when you have substantial expertise in doing it.

The A380 is failing for a different reason: there just isn't the level of demand for an aircraft of that size to make the programme viable.
Something about this feels off, but I had to think about it for a bit before I realized why.

The $63 dollar debt limit is acceptable because the random walk will (apparently) almost never go over this number. That is, the difference between this and nothing is at most $63 dollars worth of avoided inequality.

One thing they care about is finding out whether or not what you are seeking therapy for could be used to blackmail you if somebody found out about it. Beyond that, they want to find out if you have some disorder that could cause you to lose it later.

This is the flip side of "software as a consumer product" that sells for $60. If it's open source, the author could have discussed it on the bugtracker, posted to the mailing list / forum, or even just recompiled to use the old format by default, and you would have been justified in asking them to do so.

A commercial product that sells for $60? That's like a toaster oven or something. If my toaster oven is malfunctioning, I'm not going to go complain on their forum, I'm going to air my grievances in public and demand a new toaster (in this case, an updated version of 1Password).
Sound Decision
Even More BF Optimisations
I'm not sure I follow your conclusion. Assuming random walk increments are 1 (or less), it would indeed take some time to reach 63 (although you will reach it with probability 1), but in case the increments are greater (e.g. a 30-50$ dinner), you'll quickly go over $63.

The point of "keeping score" is that you can bias the debt process and make it mean-reverting. You're always guaranteed to split costs less than $63 evenly, and can possibly even split a cost of up to $126 in a fair way.
The road from atheism
I don't understand this article at all. My wife and I sync 1Password credentials using an agilekeychain within a shared (between us only) file in our Dropboxes (so we can still have distinct Dropbox logins.

This works amazingly, and it's the only way I know how to have distinct individual logins and share common passwords (most other solutions would require we use the same iCloud login, etc.)

The agilekeychain is in a folder that only our Dropbox users have access to. Where, again, is the part where the whole internet can see it and Google can index it?

If you have your sync set up to be generally visible on the entire web, aren't the passwords (encrypted) also there? I operate under the assumption that my keychain itself hasn't been compromised and if it has I've got a ticking timer to reset important passwords. If it were on the internet, I'd better be spending time every month rotating passwords since I would have to assume attackers were always at it.

So what's up with this "visible in a browser" thing, and why would anyone use it in the first place?!?
The point was that the walk isn't random, and that if it were unguided, the participants believed it would be unbounded.

Presumably it's easy to stay within $63 when the decisions are guided.
Yes, I don't understand this. Living wage in this map goes no lower than $20 for anywhere in America, whereas it's a shade over $30 for the most pricey part of the Bay Area.

From experience (Ohio vs Bay Area), the discrepancy between housing prices in these two areas is not 50%-- it's more like 200%. I'd like to understand more how this calculation works.

LA literally steals water from Mexico (see Colorado river and the fact that it doesn't flow into Mexico anymore). So this author's holier-than-thou attitude strikes me as a bit rich: Angelinos are water abusers[1] in general and without exception. They're just sour someone's better at wasting water then they are.

That being said, I don't support this gentleman's water usage. But I would increase the water price high enough to hurt everyone into conservation.

[1]A city abuses water when they use water beyond the capability of it being replenished. So it's much harder to waste water in T.O. than in LA.

Forget justifiable - no, it's not justifiable. It is necessary, in many circumstances. There are circumstances where your continued employment with a company will lead to worse consequences for you and everybody else there than if you're let go.

I also didn't say management is harder than engineering, I said "more constrained". I believe that it's harder to be a good manager than a good engineer, but it's harder to be an average engineer than an average manager. And that again comes from constraints: a good manager tries to do right by everybody, while an average manager doesn't care. You have the option of ignoring your constraints in both professions, but an engineer that ignores his constraints won't make any progress at all, while a manager that ignores his constraints can sometimes muddle through until all of his people quit.
