Yes, it does. And you provide them to the password for the local vault. Since you activated travel mode, they'll be able to see your "travel safe" passwords, but no indication that there are other passwords that were recently removed from the vault, and no indication that you entered travel mode.

> This is the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies

This is where he lost me. "Market cap" is a meaningless number for cryptos, as it's not realisable at all. It also gets people thinking of cryptos like companies, where you could actually realise something like it.

His entire thesis is "you can't prove this isn't just a bubble of timing!" and it's not a strong argument. Every bubble ever has had people claiming this one is unique.

Ask HN: SaaS startup releasing an open-source version?
I would love to hear your thoughts about running a commercial SaaS enterprise with an open-source offering. For example, Instructure Inc. created the open-source Canvas LMS, but they charge for the enterprise hosted version. Are you aware of any big-name startups that did something similar?

I’m seriously considering releasing a free version of my software (for marketing purposes) as an open source product, in order to generate buzz and interest (apart from the goodwill), and then create an enterprise closed-source version of it with fully hosted/managed features that I can charge for. My first question is, what licence would I release the open source version under, in order to protect my commercial enterprise, while still making it useful to others?

>Someone else pays for the upkeep of those roads, without which their business could not exist.

Everyone pays gas taxes that scale with the amount driven and therefore their use of the roads. Any unusually high driving would be made up by the higher gas consumption and the resultant taxes thereon.

If anything:

1) Taxi routes are concentrated in cities, where they have lower miles per gallon and thus pay more taxes per mile driven than the typical car. (Edit: and city roads probably have lower maintenance costs per ton-mile due to not having to drag people out as far to maintain it and related factors.)

2) Maintenance costs on roads are almost entirely due to cargo trucks, not sedans, since road damage scales with (something like) the fourth power of weight per axle.

Side note: why is it that every time there's an unpopular big player, everyone finds a way to label any publicly provided good as a subsidy to that player? It's not just this but "arresting shoplifters is a subsidy to Walmart", "public roads are a subsidy to Amazon", "public infra is a subsidy to Netflix", "navies are a subsidy to shipping".

> someone else pays for the healthcare of their drivers

No, the government collects income taxes from everyone to provide universal health care through the NHS. Uber's drivers pay the social insurance taxes on their income. The fact that it isn't billed to Uber specifically is irrelevant. Lloyd's isn't billed for the NHS taxes on the couriers that drop them packages, but that doesn't mean Lloyd's "dodges employer's NI".

If your point is that they should be so assessed because they're really employers, not clients, that's economically questionable too -- the burden of a tax is independent of who you assess it to; if one day they forced Uber to pay NI, they could just cut payments to drivers to cover the tax, since all the income streams would be unaffected. Same effect as if they started assessing VAT by charging customers as they leave the store instead of taking it from retailers.

The interesting issue to me isn't the particulars of this one case. It's that when you invent something very novel, nobody cares because they can't anchor it in the scheme of things they already care about. Effectively, they can't "see" what you've done. Communicating the value of your invention can be very challenging.
Luckily, the planet is obviously designed to sustain very well a fully-market-based approach to using its resources.

I just installed GuixSD 0.12 last week on a Dell 13 7000. Went mostly smoothly (had to use Grub BIOS instead of UEFI, that's been fixed in 0.13) after I replaced the Intel WiFi card with an Atheros based one.

And yet that type of content affects me much more than anything I ever saw on FB.

My point is, I come to HN for similar reasons as why my gf goes to Instagram. We are both affected by what we see. It might distort our worldview. We are both addicted.

You've clearly not researched just how much Employer's NI is. It's a lot more than an employee pays.

It's clearly not a subsidy if a company is paying their fair share in taxes. Also here in the UK we have workers on income support (welfare) because their employers underpay them... That is quite literally a case of the public purse subsidising a private enterprise.

Right... I think the point is that this behavior is not preferable.
Except cloud computing. HDFS is only useful if you own hardware. HDFS is still useful for these workloads, but calling it "Hadoop" when you are using "Spark" as the execution engine doesn't make sense. You are using Spark, which depends on HDFS for local installs only. And if you can be in the cloud, you should.

It is also worth noting that many people use Spark against a database like Cassandra and not HDFS. So it isn't even universal for local installs.

I was a Hadoop evangelist, but its time has passed. It is a foundation, not the tool you use to get work done.
I think we need a lawyer here, but this seems totally wrong. You're only committing a crime if you lie under oath, either to a court or congress. Cops lie to people all the time.

You should use your right to be silent rather than answer any questions of course, but that right disappears at the border.

Still, lying to a customs agent isn't a felony (at least not in the US). (If so, please cite the law). If you're not a citizen of the country you are entering, the most they can do is refuse entry. If you are a citizen, well there is where it can get complicated.
Anecdotally, the Westchester mall in White Plains, New York is starting to show a fair bit of softness in terms of keeping tenants. There are many empty stores and it seems to be getting worse. This is the same mall with many luxury brands and even a Tesla store. It once had a thriving food court, but it has been closed for years and only recently seems to be ready for business once again, hopefully not too little too late.

I can't recall any off the top of my head, but I've definitely heard of multiple SaaS companies doing this. Most customers are lazy and will just go with the hosted version. They don't have to host it themselves and it's less work to maintain/support, which is usually what you're paying for.

I think this marketing channel depends on who your customers are. If they're developers, then releasing something to developers would be valuable. If they're sales people, then probably less so.

Another thing I've heard of is releasing a less related project for free / open source. This way you build a good brand with your target customer segment. Then they're more likely to find out about your core product, and they already like you for your free tool. Front did this.

No, it was that Google would focus on the established businesses that weren't rolled out into other parts of Alphabet.

The G Suite (formerly Google Apps) enterprise offering, which this is part of, was part of the core business retained in Google. This is not a wild IoT product, it's a competitive entry in the enterprise collaboration space that G Suite targets.

I think because they where "jealous" of what FB is! I don't think they can bring revenue or at least what they expect. At the end they would transform their product to be more Facebook-ish, like others already do.

Can't say I've ever been treated to the sexual non-history of my taxi driver, but last weekend we grabbed a NYC cab with a driver who had no GPS, and no smart phone - we had to give him turn-by-turn directions to our destination in the Bronx.

I don't expect my cabbies to have The Knowledge, but it would be nice if I didn't have to have my phone out the whole time, watching for upcoming turns and highway exits. At least Uber/Lyft/etc guarantee that the driver has a smartphone with internet connectivity. :/
There has never been a meritocracy in tech, only the illusion of it. 80%+ of any job is about being well-liked, by peers but especially by the upper echelons. 20% is the upper limit of actual job function expected to be performed. If you're faking it well enough to pass the surface inspection and you're well-liked, your job is very secure.

The issue is that, compared to other industries, it's really hard to find people with that 20% in tech, so business people are forced to let political and image ignoramuses (sometimes ignorant to the point of failing to perform basic hygiene) into the club, and forced to try to stuff them in the attic or some other dark corner of the office where they won't ugly things up too much.

Many developers naively interpret this as a ruling meritocracy. The reality is that the business types resent having to do this, and a horrible technology worker with some image consciousness will easily destroy his better-qualified peers.

I'm familiar with a case of a person who can't even code getting himself elevated to a technical directorship with architectural and high-level direction responsibilities through such tactics. He appears to code by merging branches in the GitHub interface, by making vacuous technical-sounding comments in meetings with executives, by occasionally having someone come "pair" with him and committing the changes they make together at his workstation, etc., but if you locked him alone in a room with a blank text editor and said "Write something that does this", he wouldn't be able to do it. And the executives believe in him wholeheartedly and are currently working to install him as the company's sole technical authority. All significant decisions would have to get his approval, despite his being literally the worst technician in the company. All of his decisions up to this point have been politically motivated, aimed at coalescing power within his group and blocking outsiders who may want to contribute.

He was able to get there because he dresses well, he adopted the executive's interests and chitchats with them about these, he walks around the office telling jokes and smiling at people, and generally being what would be considered personable and diplomatic, whereas the other technical people go to their desks, hunker down, and spend their day trying to get some real work done.

Which strategy wins in the long run?
It's 2017 and we're still looking up the reference book definition of laundering. Office Space was onto something.
Fussell's book was written prior to "hipsters" as we know them, but many tenets of "hipster fashion" are predicated on some of the same logic as "upper-class folks intentionally dressing down" -- educated, urban, corporate-employed, well-to-do young people dressing "down" in streetwear or workwear like Carhartt (this one really confused my parents). Obviously they will not be construed as a member of the rural working class, as they live in a city, and the racial dimension also plays a (fairly disgusting, if you think about it) role.

Also, although the parts you selected are pretty reasonable and provide insight in this discussion, I would advise taking Fussell's book with some caution: it is an entertaining read but it is not definitive or really all that well-supported beyond his personal observations, and it slices a particular time and culture that seems to be on the wane (as the American middle class disappears, and the nature of the working class changes).

web login is likely the same as app login credentials. I don't use 1password, but that's the generate case with LastPass (at least last time i used its mobile app).

So, if they take the actual password, as opposed to having you log in for them, then they can easily go to 1password's web interface.

I'm not sure if there is a legal barrier to taking that step, but there is no real barrier there if the credentials are the same.

Perhaps if there were also travel credentials, that would be useful. With the travel creds there would be no indication that you were in travel mode and no access to additional data.
