Disclaimer: I'm a former LastPass employee who left more than a year ago.

The other posters in this thread are extremely negative about LastPass' business model with this move

They have a huge number of enterprise customers. The CEO has said this himself on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8116479. This comment was >2 years ago.

Suggesting LastPass is selling data about it's customers is ridiculous. People like the product they have built and are willing to pay for it. Holding customers data hostage on a device was something people didn't like.
I wonder if he tried to work any organization trying to do "project loon" styled remote access projects

Every system in the world has been created by people with their own biases and faults. If we are really going down that path, then you must seriously consider going off the grid.
You don't have to continue replying after sending them the "sorry, not interested" template reply. Sending them that is infinitely better than just ghosting people, which is grossly rude and unprofessional.

I don't know any specifics of Vine. I didn't get a whole lot of details of the internals of Twitter, it seemed to be the usual complaints about companies — "things get done for the wrong reasons", "sudden changes in direction", "bizarre politics", "only care about the money now" — but compressed into a much shorter time frame.

I am not sure if you are trolling, but on the chance you are not:

Let me take you through my workflow. I write content for companies, e.g. whitepapers, interviews, blogs and the like. If I have to deal with only one internal "stakeholder", its not a problem.

Briefing, first draft, one additional call, final version.

Now, as soon as you more or "higher" people join the creation process, the amount of digital files increases, as does the e-mail-chain, as doe the calls.

If I can just join a company chat about, throw in a document into the mix and get one after the other to sign of on the documents, that would cut down on the amount of version beeing sent around and thus make life easier for me.
Well now, I hadn't seen that mentioned anywhere! Interesting ... I'll have to take another look at win10 then ...
This is incredible, the pattern looks great and I'm really impressed with how well it dodges!
It would require the standard to be clear that the only way to indicate integers is via "i:288", though, or there will be ambiguity.

The spec does this here:

https://www.tjson.org/spec/#rfc.section.4.3

4.3. Floating Points

All numeric literals which are not represented as tagged strings MUST
be treated as floating points under TJSON. This is already the
default behavior of many JSON libraries.

If I'm switching parsers, the competition is no longer JSON, it's the full range of possible replacements, including Protocol Buffers, Cap'n Proto, XML, BSON, and everything else.

As noted in the post (which names a similar list of binary formats), TJSON is intended to be supplemental to binary formats, not a "replacement"
Absolutely. Whenever a user sees "$XX", it's a hurdle they have to psych themselves into jumping over. Why on earth would you want to make a user jump over more than one hurdle by including "$XX" for the product and then "$XX" for the shipping?

The obvious counterargument to this is, "If you get the user far enough down the purchase funnel and then show them that second hurdle of another fee or explicit shipping cost, they will have already invested enough time and effort into the purchase process that they will then justify that extra cost just before purchasing." This may well be true sometimes, and people will often pay for shipping if you itemize it out of the total price, but I think everyone would agree that this sort of nickel-and-diming practice pisses people off. Pissing people off hurts your brand. It just does.

Businesses often think too short-term when it comes to getting someone to purchase a product online. Yes, they may purchase that first time and pay "extra" for shipping. But do you think they'll come back a second time if they know they're just gonna get pissed off about that darn shipping price again? I'd say they're much less likely to.
To be fair, that appears to be directed to a layman audience, possibly including non-US. In a general context like that, lower case 'special forces' can be assumed to be the generic term for the many international groups with a wide variety of official designations that fit similar loose criteria.

That actually makes some sense, and I suppose it's potentially quite a big market (if one that's strapped for cash).

Which did you use, and how did the students find them in terms of complexity?
LLVM and vim work amazingly well on OS X.
transit works great except that it's unreadable with current tools (for example browser devtools or attaching listeners to kafka).

I know it's a tool problem but I don't see the whole world embracing transit.

If this format gets adopted with extensible types we get a readable format that has what transit provides and if there's no tooling support we can still read it with standard json tools or none at all.

It seemed his idea was to setup base stations in remote areas, so that he could provide satellite internet access where other means would be more costly or infeasible. (although, as he found out, purchasing the satellite is the most costly part, let alone relocating it!)
If estimates are not okay and the true cost of shipping cannot be calculated in a short period of time, then why is it okay to display a shipping price during the checkout process right before I click "submit", since this price is presumably an estimate? If presenting an estimate during the checkout process is actually okay, why not display it in the cart before the checkout process?
You can actually use the features of Photoshop in scripts without the need of the GUI.

This is what George Clooney said about Twitter:

"There's a real danger when you're really famous. I can have a drink or two at night; I don't need to have an apparatus that, in a drunken joke, even, I could say something, go to sleep, and wake up in the morning and my career be over."

tl;dr Using spectacle frames with the other persons image "perturbed" onto that frame, facial recognition algorithms can be fooled into thinking your face is someone else's.

(There is a weirder ability to hide a human face using similar approach.)

This is surprisingly cool - the fact that the algorithm can be fooled is not amazing, but that they could find a fairly practical attack is quite impressive.

And at least now a computer can think I look like George Clooney, even if it won't work in a singles bar.
One possible fix is a law that states the government must purchase properties at the assessed price (or at something like 85% of the assessed price). Then if the tax office assesses your house at triple its actual value, well, they just handed you a giant pile of cash.
Gen.xyz auction wrap-up
The thing that most turns me off from LinkedIn is that it leaks your browsing information to the users you are browsing, through their "who viewed my profile" feature. If I want to just brush up on a contact's background before a meeting without announcing to him that I'm stalking him, I need to log out and re-browse. Major pain in the butt.
For what it's worth, as just a plain user of computers, I personally find Microsoft's industrial design way more appealing to my sensibility than Apple's industrial design.

I prefer:

* Smaller radius corners. The Mac and iPhone have always appeared too rounded.

* Less tapering. I like that the Surface Book's contact surface (no pun intended) is basically its entire area (notwithstanding the rubberized feet). I don't like that the Macs taper inward. I think Apple corrected this on the newest MacBook Pro, however.

* Less visual emphasis on the keyboard. I don't like the Mac's dark keys on a silver plane. I prefer that Surface Book's keyboard matches the metal color.

* Less obnoxious branding. I like that the Surface Book has just a reflective Windows logo on the back and no branding on the front. I have never liked the glowing Apple logo on Macs and I applaud Apple for ditching that. But for 2016, they added a big "MacBook Pro" on the bottom edge of the screen which is also tacky.

* This one is a particularly big pet peeve: a chamfered edge for the track-pad that matches the width of the trackpad. I've never understood why the chamfered edge on the MacBook is so narrow. I like not having a sharp edge digging into my wrist even when I am a bit sloppy with my arm positioning.

That's saying nothing of the software. But to be brief on software, I am so happy that Windows is (slowly) providing a dark look and feel. Applications that use the latest Microsoft design thinking look great to my eye. Admittedly they are very slow at bringing old apps up to snuff—there are a number of legacy apps that still look as they did on Windows 8 or earlier. MacOS has always looked too "bubbly" to my eye.

My personal laptop is a Surface Book, though I use a workstation for normal day-to-day work.
Wait from the article on Windows, it actually claims the opposite, saying that the court rejected Microsoft's claims and that it later settled with Lindows, paying for their trademark.
Broadcom Limited to Acquire Brocade Communications Systems Inc. For $5.9B
The Adobe Creative Suite is available on Windows. I don't see that being a major impediment.

And developers keep insisting that all we use is Vim and a terminal, which you can do just as well with Linux Services for Windows.
I see. So the interesting moral claim is not "the end justify the means" (which is too obvious) but rather "For every mean there exists at least one end that can justify it", which is controversial.
But isn't there an inherent cost associated with time. Time which I could otherwise spend elsewhere?

This has been one of the most compelling arguments for a superfood like Soylent for me. All required nutrients, none of the hassles.
I think that the social aspect of it is actually what makes it fun here. Quality playlist is a hard thing to find and editors' picks are not always the most suitable ones
> "Are you integrated with Epic/Cerner/whatever?"

The irony being that those tightly inegrated solutions tend to be some of the worst offenders in terms of being a nightmare for interop and walled-off silos. But they're popular because the pieces they do offer generally work.

And totally agree that the opportunity is there for highly targeted applications that cater to specific healthcare niches because the downside of the huge top-down systems is the fact that they're more generalized. But you have to be able to integrate them into that larger EMR environment for them to be realistically useful.

That said, the facility I'm at now (midsize, ~400 beds) took a best-of-breed approach and... well, there's a reason I say current interop is bad. It's appealing on the clinical side because groups like surgery or the ED or even endo get to run software designed to cater specifically to their needs, but the backend integration ends up being a huge exercise every time anything changes.
As an addition to Fxy keys I am fine with it. Replacing Fxy keys like what Lenovo did to their X1 Carbons with their "Adaptive keyboard" ended up angering too many developers (though to be honest it was also Windows/Lenovo SW issue as you had to do some registry hacks to add apps that were supposed to use active keyboard and this ended up super inconsistent). Also, some people say touch bar is a poor man's touchscreen as by adding touchscreen you won't need a touch bar and it would be more flexible (though I prefer my screen without fingerprints everywhere).

That's a lot of extra bytes you have to send over the wire. Also, I don't think validation makes sense. When sent by the server, it's too limited (would lead to situations where you're doing half the validation in TJSON and half in the client code). When sent by the client, it can't be trusted anyway.
A friend of my father used to be a researcher at Monsanto, so he explained a lot of the basics behind what they're doing to me. Absolutely amazing tech to be frank.

So yeah, I personally don't have a problem with GMOs either, but as you mentioned, some people might.
There were a few other regulations.

One of them included that TNCs can't stop in the middle of a busy road when picking up a rider. This is one thing I'm really glad got implemented because people have been seriously injured and killed[0] because TNCs stop in the middle of busy roads.

It's amazing how many people are trying to reinvent protocol buffers! Every time I see something like this I think the developer didn't do their research or maybe they wanted to make a hobby project anyway. Stuff like this is dangerous to use in production. Even JSON as simple as it looks had a lot of bugs that are now.

If you want typed data structure transfer, use protocol buffer.
When that happens, you have undeniable proof of fraud which you can take to a judge.

Only if you maintain a node on that network. Which is unlikely since companies will need full control to reverse txns.
Would you mind sharing what you mean by "a punishingly minimal aesthetic"? Is it overly concise to the point of not being reasonably comprehendible?

It's funny that people expect JSON is a serious data interchange format.
I'm 10 classes short of a BS in computer science. I started working more and taking one class a semester. At some point I really didn't care about school anymore, my resume was working just fine. I got tired of paying for classes that taught me what I already learned or classes that didn't apply. I cashed out my associates and haven't looked back. I still haven't needed those chem classes. There are places I can't work because of my choices, but at the same time I haven't wanted to work at those places. I can't go get an MBA, but I don't want one.

I have friends and family that seem to thrive on going to school and can't imagine why I don't. It isn't the same for everyone. In my case, I don't think it has hurt me. I've always had a job, always felt like I could quickly get another job and I make good money.

From the hiring side, despite my "lack" of education, I've had the chance to interview quite a few people. There have been some with masters degrees that I would only be comfortable hiring as a junior dev. They had books smarts but zero experience. Some of them could have had the job if their asking price wasn't insanely high or they had some experience.

I also interviewed a self taught programmer who I'd work with in a heartbeat. It didn't work out for other reasons, but he could have easily had the jr. job and likely grown out of it with more experience.

Formal education opens some doors that experience will not, but I think there are plenty of opportunities with and without a formal education.
My gf and I live in SF and use Sprig which is healthy and around $12-15/person including delivery. Its cheaper than when we bought groceries and cooked (which we didn't enjoy) because we had to rent a Zipcar to go to the grocery store, pay SF food prices and ended up wasting a lot that we didn't eat. We didnt waste out of poor planning but unpredictable schedules. She has sudden client meetings come up in the evening or I have to unexpectedly travel down to a different office in the south bay.

Considering my company provides breakfast and lunch, the high price for dinner isn't that bad. Also on weekends we're usually not home to cook, which increased the probability of wasting groceries we didn't eat during the week.

As millennials without children and good jobs who don't enjoy cooking, there isn't any reason to spend the time planning meals, renting a car and going to the grocery store on the weekend when I'd rather be doing anything else. If I lived in a smaller city, where I had a house and a car without an app that delivered healthy food, then it would have to change, but thats a boring life.
I'm a grad student, a shopping trip is expensive (time+cost). Walmart makes sense for me as we have a school shuttle that stops near one. None which ply along the route of a supermarket.

While I'm sure there is some perverse way of defining "innovation" that can muster up enough factual basis to count as a half truth for some drunk in a gutter, I suggest you consider the less extreme position that technological development is driven by a multitude of factors and towards equally diverse goals.

First off, we can dispense both porn and video games as important technological drivers since both are realms of extremely narrow focus compared to the breadth of the military; neither can for instance be credited with driving development of automatic telephone exchanges.

The military has much more diverse needs, and could therefore plausibly drive "innovations in technology" over a large enough breadth of technologies to count. Still, the technology the military directly develops or pay for being developed is of a decidedly military nature, and as we all know the civilian sector of society is quite sizable and contains a multitude of technology unique to it, none of which are directly developed by the military.

Frankly, the fact that the Board of Longitude lead to portable timepieces does not mean the military can be credited with all advances in timekeeping henceforth.
