In my opinion it is a fundamental axiom of computer science that some local storage will always be necessary. We've just seen AMD put SSDs directly onto a video card [1] for precisely the reason that local bandwidth is supremely important, as use cases at the endpoint always swamp remote bandwidth. Just as we get to gigabit to the home, we are on the cusp of needing 100 gigabit to the display as things like VR and 360-degree video catch on (AMD's SSG will give us 50 of those gigabits). The history of computing has always seen this: remote bandwidth grows exponentially, but so does local bandwidth need, from an order of magnitude higher starting point, meaning the former never catches up with the latter. This is why I believe this business strategy to be doomed.

Oh it is great advice right now, since Chrome has such large market share and V8 is the only "real" engine on the back end at this time, you'd be dumb to ignore it.

My point was that you want multiple competing engines to avoid this kind of thing going from a "V8 thing" to a "Javascript thing".

Right now V8 can still fix this "issue" and going forward that will no longer be a problem, but if history was a little different, we could have ended up with no engines that support an optimized try/catch since nobody uses it, and nobody would use it because no engines supported optimizing it.
I think a great example of gene expression based on environment is that of the himalayan rabbit. Cold temperatures trigger black fur growth whereas warm temperatures allow the fur to be white.
Why doesn't he also sell on eBay at the same price he lists at on Amazon? The arbitrage only works if there is a price differential between the two; by selling direct on both platforms there is no price difference to arbitrage. The arbitragers have also done him the service of free research to prove that demand on the other platform exists : he can even look at the auction records to estimate how much demand there is.
Petnet IO Servers Down
My cat feeder stopped feeding my cat. Emailed them and they said the servers were down. Could be bad news for people out of town. Animals could die over this if it isn't resolved soon. No notifications that my feeder stopped working. I figured it out when my cat was crying at me more then usual for food. Not sure why the servers are down but its been 24 hours now.
From the guy that is basically re-purposing 60s German designs...
You're willfully misinterpreting definitions here:

>>" Violence is an extreme form of aggression, such as assault, rape or murder. Violence has many causes, including frustration, exposure to 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮, violence in the home or neighborhood and a tendency to 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲'𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁. Certain situations also increase the risk of aggression, such as drinking, insults and other provocations and environmental factors like heat and overcrowding."

Notice the APA's definitions includes assault, rape, and murder, and your bolded text specifically refers to the root causes of violence. The exposure to violent media predisposes people to violence, the perception of other people's actions as hostile even when they're not causes a misunderstanding that leads to violence.

1.1) from the Oxford definition is a testament to how strongly people react to violence.

The Wikipedia article is a far more compelling argument for your case, but the WHO has political interests that colors their definition of the word. Was the FDA promoting trans fats violent? It certainly is an action that was taken from a position of power which caused harm. The FDA actually might be one of the more violent domestic US institutions under this definition. Are all parents violent? Doing some harm to your child's mental health or well being is going to happen in 18 years of making decisions.

Clearly there is a difference in significance between the 'violence' of a parent who teases their child a few times and a parent who is beating their child.

We have an obvious colloquial use of the word violence that supercedes using violent as an adjective in this way. If we're going to talk about linguistic drift, this is a very poor example. Rather, this appears to be a small number of people who are attempting to expand the definition of violent. This definition has only been adopted by a few special interests groups who have a vested interest in changing how the larger population communicates. One method that they are using to do this is using rhetorical[1] tricks, like labeling everyone who does not agree with them as violent, by using overly loose definitions like the WHO example above.

[1] When an argument is nearly entirely about the way that we use rhetoric, I'll use the word rhetorical. That's the nice thing about words, when they have strong definitions, they're highly applicable to situations. You can use them and everyone will know what you're talking about!
Can you be more precise about where you saw someone attack or attempt to attack his physical person?

If you're referring to the "DieJakeDie" account, I acknowledge that it existed, but it was very clear that it had no involvement with victims or (as far as anyone can tell) anyone involved in the Tor community. The integrity of the Tor process was not compromised by its existence, any more than the integrity of a government trial is compromised by protesters outside calling for blood.

But you have to weigh the costs of the damage it does to the business they're copying. If it makes that company less willing to innovate in the future, we're at a loss. If the copy is so successful it runs the other company out of business, we're at a major loss.

Man Is to Computer Programmer as Woman Is to Homemaker? Debiasing Word Embedding
We don't generally do feature comparisons. So many products operate under different sets of requirements that comparison charts can be very easily rigged to make one thing look significantly better than the other.

I can tell you one thing that is indisputably better about 1Password though.

Support.

Quite literally. We have a team of over 30 customer support personnel (in addition to myself and other developers who pitch in for a part of our day). We're here to help if you run into problems, encounter a bug, have feature requests, or generally just want questions answered about how we do things or why something is done the way it's done.

Keepass, as noble as it is to have an open source and free product, is run and improved by volunteers. I realize that not many people on hacker news really care that much about support since we're all typically very capable people, but as someone who has been with AgileBits for nearly 5 years now and seen a whole lot of the weird edge cases that can exist because some webpage is doing something incredibly weird or some particular computer setup is causing problems. It can be really helpful to know that there are people who can look into these things for you instead of having to know it yourself.

1Password does have a 30 day trial (both for our standalone product and for our individual/family/team subscriptions). You can try it yourself and see how it works for you. And as always, if you have questions during this time you're welcome to get in touch (support at agilebits.com, mention my name if you want and it'll notify me) and we'll help you get things setup. We think the product speaks for itself and we're happy to fill in any gaps if you need more :)

Isn't that more or less a property of the technology industry as well? You have to continually reinvent yourself to remain employable, etc. Perhaps it's more acute in trading, but then again so (often) are the spoils larger.
It's a hedge against Google.

Google, through V8, Chromium, Chrome, Chrome OS, Android, and Dart, has a large say in the future of the web platform, browsers, apps, the future of Javascript, etc.

Time and time again, Google has used their substantial influence and market share to make unilateral decisions affecting the web platform [1][2][3][4][5][6]; the individual merits of each decision notwithstanding, Google can do just about anything and it will affect enough of the userbase that others must compensate or follow suit.

By offering an alternative to V8 monoculture, they can protect against Google using its influence to drive the Javascript platform in its own direction.

I think this is right. We don't notice when things run smoothly, only when they go awry. Of course, if you want dramatic political change, "running smoothly" isn't what you're looking for. This nomination was unusual because: a) the nominee in this case wasn't the President or VP, which usually dampens any rival campaign before it gets started; b) the nominee was nonetheless more or less widely regarded as "next in line" in a way usually reserved for the VP; c) the nominee had unusually high negatives; and d) an Independent 'crashed' the Democratic party, bringing a lot of non-party voters with no vested interest in the existing party hierarchy. Had any one of these conditions been different, I don't think we would've seen the same degree of discord.

These recent moves aren't making me trust Microsoft anymore than before.

It's fantastic that they're open sourcing some stuff these days, but the things they're open sourcing and external projects they're contributing to are all either cost centers (nobody makes money on browser engines these days), or areas where they've lost the battle for cloud hosting, and are hoping to get a leg in on Linux-based hosting.

Now if they were to open source something like MSSQL, Exchange server, truly open up the office format, or pretty much anything where they haven't utterly been defeated by existing open source products I'd be impressed and might think their company culture is truly changing.

As it stands I don't see any reason to think that this isn't just all part of an experimental marketing strategy to bring already lost markets back under the Microsoft umbrella, and once they can achieve lock-in again; goodbye open source.

>"Ur-Fascism grows up and seeks for consensus by exploiting and exacerbating the natural fear of difference. The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders."

>"To people who feel deprived of a clear social identity, Ur-Fascism says that their only privilege is the most common one, to be born in the same country. This is the origin of nationalism."

Yep, the birth of fascism, ie. Italian fascism, was a final act of the Italian national independence process which started in the first half of 19th century. The independence from Austrian empire and from Catholic Church - Mussolini in particular finalized the relationships with papal states/Vatican.

Interesting that Mussolini started as Socialist and split with them on very similar grounds as the "bolsheviks"/Lenin split from Socialists in Russia around the same time - push for more forceful action, for unchecked power (dictatorship) - the difference being that in Russia Lenin was pushing for dictatorship of the working class while Mussolini was for dictatorship of the national state. While one may say that whose ideologies are of different colors, structurally they are the same and thus produced similar results - totalitarian states.

As an example, just replace national dimension with the "aristocracy - capitalists - worker class/peasants" dimension in the 2 quotes above and you'll get the socialist/communist principle of the "class war" and that idea that just by being of "working class" makes people intrinsically good and thus gives them moral power and entitles them to [dictatorially] rule and decide the fate of others.

There were many popular netbooks before the MBA came out. Apple showed that there could be a popular high-end version with excellent build quality and now the market is responding with a cheaper model with the similar build quality. This isn't stealing. It is the standard model of almost every popular consumer electronic device since the 1980's.
This is the difference between developers and designers. And why so few designers participate in open-source.

I'll never understand designers. I don't mean that as a criticism, I literally don't understand the mindset. This is my problem for not understanding.

I also broke my right pinky and splinted it myself around 6 years ago! I wouldn't consider that surgery, but I felt like I did the exact same thing that they would've done in an emergency room minus getting an actual x-ray. (I guess I can't know if it was actually broken since I didn't get an x-ray, but the right side of my hand was completely black/purple and the pinky finger was swollen to about the size of my thumb.)

I taped my whole hand for the first week for stability and then slowly removed fingers from the tape as I felt like it was healing (swelling going down - color returning to normal). After the bandages and splint were off my finger wouldn't bend inward and it wouldn't fully straighten without applying pressure using my other hand. I started doing my own "physical therapy" on it whenever I had some free time to force it to straighten/bend. It took a few months before I could bend it by itself to touch my palm but now it's about 99% functional as compared to my other pinky.

There are really 2 very different ways of interpreting these results.

A) People who're happy with the balance, are being given a lot of free time.

B) People who're happy with the balance, have really low expectations, or don't mind working all the time.

When I read about founders/CEOs being more satisfied than most others, the only reasonable explanation I can think of, is that they don't mind working 16 hour days on a company that they have personally built and run.

When viewed through this lens, it's possible that the demographics with the highest satisfaction rates, aren't actually being given a good work-life balance... they are simply the ones who are "easiest to exploit."
I put my elderly parents onto 1Password and they "got" it.

The hardest part of the migration for my parents were 1) demystifying the spaghetti mishmash my Dad had in place to manage his passwords, 2) getting Dropbox set up correctly between Mom & Dad for vault sharing, 3) training my Mom how to use, and 4) educating Data on how to manage website edge cases.

I would hope that 1PW has a LP migration tool, but if they don't, Dad was able to clean up his historical garbage one by one. The password capturing process in 1PW is good enough that this worked nearly seemlessly.

Finally, I've had nothing but positive results from posting questions in the 1PW forum.

Yeah, I'm not surprised. Thank you for confirming my suspicions. :)
On the contrary, the raised awareness seems to have increased the public funding. Both houses of Congress passed extra millions of funding just this month.
You should consider what information was available on that server. Did the code contain any passwords for other systems (such as an internal DB, or another production machine?). If so, those systems should be considered compromised now too.

On the other hand, if you are just getting started it may be that production doesn't have much on it yet, and you can just nuke the thing and start over.

I understand recommending security experts is easier, so that if you're wrong, you can just blame the expert, but you may be able to make the decision yourself if you are aware of everything that is on that machine.
We have offices in NYC, London, and Denver. If I'm remembering correctly, I can count the number of developers who've left the company on one hand. We currently have ~20 engineering staff in the NYC office. Retention doesn't seem to be a huge problem.
I was thinking of rats in a maze, running around and pulling levers to get pellets. In the human case I guess the pellet is dopamine or some other neurotransmitter that makes you feel good and is potentially the root cause of compulsive behavior that facebook and google are able to capitalize on.
Seems like they're taking Dropbox a step further and creating an OS-like application that will run across most types of machines, rather than just a web service/finder plugin. Which is an interesting idea given the advance of thin clients/chromebook-like devices, but will require cheaper and faster internet connectivity, and as you point out, security.

I guess I can see this working in the corporate environment where the client machines will always be connected to the internet, and will really only be used for web browsing, word, excel, and ppt (a few 10s of gigs), but I'm very doubtful on its ability to penetrate the personal market. Personally I have absolutely no reason to spread my 100s of gigs of docs, music, and photos across yet another set of servers...and pay a yearly fee for the convenience of having a slightly thinner laptop and not having to plugin my time machine backup every week while opening myself up to trusting another third party service?

I was wondering the same thing but then thought perhaps Amazon fulfilment services are likely very attractive to him. But then he mentioned how he only had 1 return for rugs sold through his own site. So it sounds like he sells through Amazon and his own site, why not expand to eBay as well? Bad return policies maybe?
Is it an easy fix though? It seems necessary, but not sufficient, to build an open source, cross platform JavaScript engine that integrates with node.js, just to be able to advocate for the benchmark change to be made.

That seems like a non-trivial task. Though luckily (for the JS community) they've been working on it.

Happily, they've thought about this stuff already:

"Continuing to invest in understanding and improving real world performance is a priority for the team. Going forward, we also want to work with the benchmarking workgroup[0] and the community to identify real world performance scenarios for Node.js." [1]

Smart Questions to Ask Before Choosing Your Technology Stack
Up until earlier this year, WhatsApp actually had a for-pay business model: it cost $1 per year. They stopped charging in January, evidently, in theory to remove a barrier to entry. (Being owned by Facebook now probably helps them make that move, though.)

I've wondered how Twitter would have been different if they'd taken a similar approach: $1 per account per year. They'd certainly be smaller than they are now, but I suspect they'd still be bringing in several hundred million a year before going the advertising route--the pursuit of which seems to be at the root of a lot of their questionable product decisions over the last few years.

None of that's directly relevant to the article, of course, which is implicitly about better filtering tools. I continue to be kind of bemused that this is so difficult for modern services to figure out, given that LiveJournal essentially figured it out fifteen years ago. Yes, the two services aren't directly comparable, but it wouldn't be wildly difficult to offer controls over, for example, who's allowed to @mention you.

I finished this recently and liked it as well. My "policy" is to read every technology company related memoir or corporate history that I can get my hands on, and I found this one more interesting than most as a narrative.
