That's an interesting read, thanks.

Note that the algorithm/app I mentioned does use the salt mentioned at the end as a possible solution. The counter problem is still there, but I don't feel it is a big issue.

I was a kid when Google maps came, so I won't be able to comment on that. Self driving cars will work, nobody is doubting it, what I am doubting is the extent of self driving car, yes, in US like streets where everyone follows traffic rules it'll work without a person in driver seat, in India it'll be difficult for a truly self driving car like Uber is betting
I'd go one step further and recommend the logical conclusion of the Golden rule, the "Rechtsstaat", meaning "state of law":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechtsstaat

(Until now I didn't even know that this German word is also used in the English language.)

The "state of law" is a combination of the Golden rule (which works only within small groups) with some aspects of the scientific method (reproducible results and independence of the subject: If I do the same thing as somebody else, in the same circumstances, it should be equally okay. Or, if it is not okay, we both should face the same consequences).
I think the point here is to offer a browser that does NOT report to Google or offer any Google services in order to give a more privacy oriented experience while keeping the same expectation a user has from Chrome.

Tor Browser on the other hand tries to be a very private oriented browser (blocks several features by default) and gives access to the Tor network.
What kind of battery pack are you talking about. I fairly regularly have my battery in my jacket pocket and easily can use my phone, including making calls if needed, while plugged into the battery via a standard USB cable.
Inside private chat rooms Trump supporters are using to manipulate French voters
While there were some interesting insights in the article, they are not the unintended consequences alluded to at the start with the reference to IMPs and the early Internet leading to the disruption of journalism.

An example of an unintended consequence of fully autonomous vehicles would be what might happen to where people want to live and hence the structure of communities and property values.
After failing at taking my startup off the ground, I just started working for a "normal" company (read: startup that actually raised serious series A, has nice and lofty offices, a good tech team etc).
I always have this feeling in my gut that I want to escape from it, even if everything is going great. I wonder if this will leave eventually.
You can't.

hmm I don't really see this feature in KeepassX, the history tab only shows changes to the entry name not the passwords. Am I missing something?
But an acre of land in the suburbs costs hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, whereas an acre of land in a normal agricultural area far from a city costs a few thousand dollars.
I think a lot of jobs would become flexible with self driving cars. Imagine 8 hour commutes being completely viable.
There are numerous places across the globe that will do the work cheaply, usually for about the price you'd pay for an extra battery for the few modern phones that allow you to swap batteries still.
At the current rate of tech change, which has been sustained for decades, within a couple decades hydro will be more expensive than battery technology. And that's even with the vastly improved scalability, responsiveness, and sitability characteristics of batteries!

We need to build these industries, as they are our future. And if we're not building them, we'll just be buying from somebody else.
I can't speak to security, but from a functional standpoint the tree and key-value structure of password managers allows easier third party integration into browsers etc, compared to a flat file.
I call that distinction the difference between an elegant and a clever solution. Clever being what you mention.

If the programmer can't tell the difference when implementing, then go for a simpler version, as you suggest.

- Elegant: Nice, clean, well thought out.

- Clever: Hackish, terse, too hard to understand for whatever benefit it brings.
For all the greatness of Democrites in so many ways, I'm always a bit wary of reading too much in classic thinkers predating what we now know about the physical sciences. Without experiments, introducing the concept of atoms was speculative. Conversely, even today an improved understanding of how matter actually behaves at very small scales, still doesn't make the case for atheism or materialism.
I read a quote somewhere "remember in the dark, what you saw in the light" - what I do is list the reasons why I believe in a plan or something, and when the doubts come, I validate it against the list of reasons. If the doubts actually invalidate the reason, it is a valid case for concern, but more often than not, its just me forgetting the reasons I first believed in something. This works when I start a project too - a list of reasons why I need to complete that..
The answer to the expense of office space varies widely based on arrangements and location. Outside of the coasts, there are definitely areas where commercial space that startups use is cheaper per sq ft than residential. A couple of years ago, I was talking with a VC from New York about his (non-fancy) Manhattan office space being $80+ per sq ft while there were good spaces in my city for $1 per sq ft without tenants.
Yes, MiniKeePass is open source.
I think the biggest market for cars has now become China. India will probably reach the top-5 in the next 10-20 years. Looking forward to the next 30-50 years the biggest demographic increases (meaning future car buyers) will come from places like Africa and South and SE-Asia. It would be myopic to disregard those places as having people who would never afford cars. To continue with your example, almost all of Sub-Saharan Africa passed from having no phone at all to having cell phones (because it was too expensive to install land-lines).

Wondered if somebody would mention that. I agree completely. It's the only really universally legitimate reason to need a removable battery.

Can you share your encrypted vim file with others? (Honest question). Keepass can also enable browser autocompletion. Kbdx is actually very much underspecified, but it's not terribly difficult to reverse engineer apparently. The main problem (iirc) is that the most recent format version has extensions that very few clients understand.

It's popular because it's the least common denominator for "cross-platform portable encrypted key-value local storage". The sync support missing is actually a feature for most users. There are much better alternatives when you trust a third-party server.
>...at the max flow rate of 51,000 cubic meters per second is ~24 hours of generation at capacity

The max flow rate is 51,000 cubic meters per minute (not per second) according to the article you link to. That changes the math quite a bit.
I'm in my 40s (UK) and have traveled a fair bit, including the US before 9/11. After that and then the TSA, I will never set foot in the US again. Which is a shame, as I really enjoyed the country and people, and was seriously considering moving there back then.
The Golden Rule is flawed, as the Wikipedia article explains in the criticism section. Your comment bought to mind this quote from Deutsch:

"The Golden Rule (treat others as you would wish to be treated) has the same fatal flaw as future-is-like-the-past inductivism: it justifies anything and nothing, depending on what attributes of the other person you choose to imagine yourself having. And so, like induction, it only seems to yield some specific moral conclusion if you had already reached that conclusion by other means.﻿" - David Deutsch.

Here, "other means" is just the scientific method (conjecture, criticism) generalised to morality. So I'd say that the scientific method, (and a good epistemology in general), is a more valuable concept than the Golden Rule.

The Slack IRC gateway drops your messages
Also not the GP, I do the same thing. In my case I need access to one of my devices with Dropbox configured (my laptop or my phone are most likely, my server syncs too)

Dropbox stores the files locally (on the phone, the kdbx file is marked to be cached and updated offline and I use dropsync)

If someone deletes my kdbx file from my Dropbox account, and I don't realize this in time (before all my devices sync _and_ my backups run out, so very small chance given the nature of the file) I'm in a lot of trouble...
After a very quick check, I think the chrome.webRequest API can be used without the browser giving any warnings. That means an extension can intercept and modify every incoming and outgoing request the browser makes, including sending a copy to a third party or redirecting xhr traffic in the background. Chrome (and consequently Iridium) makes it hard to hide an extension, and a malicious attacker would need to have access to the browser, but if you install this browser in the belief that it will "automatically" protect your privacy I don't think it's doing enough. There should be an indicator that an extension is manipulating requests that the browser is making.

Self-driving cars "confined" to anywhere are not self-driving cars, because you obviously need a human driver to get to and from that special place.

New JEP Would Simplify Java Type Variance
If any countries anywhere in the rest of the world had any balls whatsoever, 'right to repair' laws would have been put in place before companies like Apple were allowed to enter those markets. This is the kind of consumer rights issue you'd expect organisations like the EU to take a stand on (cf. mobile roaming charges). But everyone's so frightened of upsetting the likes of Apple, this is allowed to continue.

I single out Apple in particular as they actively go out of their way to make it as difficult as possible for anyone outside of Apple to undertake repairs: Schematics are not released and have to be sourced from unauthorised channels, many of which charge ridiculous amounts for dodgy copies, likewise with Boardview files. Also, many components on Apple boards have no markings at all, making it almost impossible to identify them, without reference to one of the 'top secret' schematics.

The whole setup stinks.

For example, I noticed a while back that the Chrome/Chromium browsers send the dns lookup of every website you visit to Google's own dns servers - even though i have NOT configured them in my OS.

There are lots of places where ambushing drivers to steal them is pretty common. For example, things like throwing rocks from hiding (like a pedestrian overpass) to break some cars' windows and make them stop, and then some accomplices come out and attack. This was really common a few years ago near my home. Now, I think they will just need a stop sign, and do the same as #5.

You can absolutely opt out of capitalism, and many have: you can get some likeminded people together and start a commune, or you can go sleep on a park bench and panhandle, or you can just leave and move to Cuba or North Korea. Nobody will stop you or hinder you in any way.

However, you cannot opt out of socialism. "Not having a job" is illegal in socialist countries. Don't like the job that was assigned to you by some bureaucrat? Want to start a mini-free market with your friends? Too bad, the alternative is the labor camps.

The border guards in capitalist countries are there to prevent illegal immigration into the country. The border guards in socialist countries are there to keep people from escaping.
> I vote for the special and the general theory of relativity.

Out of curiosity, why?

I can think of several possible reasons, but I'd like to know yours.

FWIW, I'm inclined to agree with Rovelli about atomism when "atoms" in the most general sense of the smallest particles are like-for-like substitutable. Following from that, the two theories of relativity set conditions on when "like-for-like substitution" is exact and when it's approximate.

In other words, I think that atomism is more reductive than SR or GR even in their modern formulations, and reductive materialism is a crucial tool in a scientist's mental toolbox. (One could also snarkily say that atoms and subatomic particles are the "material" without which SR and GR are effectively useless and even justify that via the hole argument.)

I understand completely. I have a sleep disorder where most of my sleep is as it should be, but when I enter REM, I "wake up" throughout the REM portion of the sleep cycle. The end result is I get very little REM sleep leaving me constantly exhausted. Changes to diet (including making sure I quit eating earlier in the day, for example, cutting out caffeine and alcohol, etc.) haven't made any difference, and neither have changes to the bedroom - making it darker, getting a new bed, and all that.

Right now I'm taking Gabapentin, which helps a little. So far the sleep specialists I'm working with (both a neurologist and a psychiatrist) haven't been able to find anything that helps more.

The whole point of GV has always been to be a free PSTN<->VOIP gateway. That's a very valuable feature by itself. AFAIK, only FreedomPop offer mostly the same functionality for free (though not unlimited). Aside from carrier issues, I haven't had any problems with GV.

It just works, it's very useful and it's free. I'm happy with it, and I hope they improve the existing functionality before they add features.

Just tell them to do microchip programming, like on an Arduino. Though, the idea of 'it works faster' in comparision of todays software is not really valid, as the expectations and requirements of software have gone up since 2000. Of course Firefox 2.x was fast and not memory hungry! It didnt have to:

- support x64
- support new web tech like WebGL, WebRTC, Crypto API, all CSS options, the latest JavaScript specs
- update rendering engine for CSS3
- support retina/hiDPI
- handle webpages that are big in size + have loads of javascript libraries + multiple advertisement parties
- update to a modern UI
- implement new cryptos for HTTPS
- ship with lots of rejected certificates
- still support old systems
- do all this in a secure way

>There is not a single company in the world that didn't experience a lull after a high, but somehow Tim Cook is stupid for not bringing Apple to new highs every quarter.

Well no, the usual complaint is that Cook is bringing Apple to new heights... just heights that are interesting as a business, not as consumers.

Combined with the expectation that "execution" ceo's tend to miss new trends, as they prioritize reliability and "the grass on this side"

Comes the claim that apple will go the way of microsoft and ibm;
Gods of the market at one point in time, but now merely mortal.

The idea isn't that Apple will fail its investors, its that it will fail to continue its current fame and status.

I picked up rails in 2010, right when rails 3 came out. I've been doing it ever since. I want to keep upskilling myself, however, I can't seem to pick which of the new techs is going to dominate in the future. What would be the best thing to add to a seasoned Rails dev skillset?

Would adding something like react, or one of the other js techs be good? Should I expand into django as it is relatively similar. Should I be leaning more about UI design? What extra skillsets makes a rails dev desirable to companies as a freelance/contract dev?

Most contracts I've been on have only slightly deviated from a rails/JS stack and I feel like I'm getting a bit stale!

> What are the benefits of using a "real" password manager, such as this one, compared to a plain encrypted file in vim?

• You get a proper password generator out of the box.

• Vim's encryption is awful: The current default method is documented to be feasible brute-forceable on a Pentium 133 MHz, and the optional "strong" setting is Blowfish (with an undocumented key-derivation function which is presumably awful as well), which Schneier wanted to have phased out 10 years ago – and by now we're seeing an increasing amount of successful attacks. Do not use VimCrypt if you want your data safe. (If you happen to have GPG set up on all your devices anyway, it can be a decent alternative.)

• Never underestimate convenience when it comes to security. Anything that makes it harder for someone to use their password manager increases the risk of password reuse.
