Which Countries Have the Most and Least Confidence in Their Governments?
> This is strictly a business decision

This is my interpretation of the situation having read the (IMO) train-wreck of a blog post excusing this change: https://blog.agilebits.com/2017/07/13/why-we-love-1password-...

> A subscription model is in their belief the only way to maintain a sustainable business model that includes growth by providing SaaS with recurring revenue. Old school static licenses with local storage will not provide recurring revenue.

However I don't really agree with this. I've been buying 1Password since at least version 3 and don't see any reason why I would stop, I've recommended the app to family and friends, and I've bought licenses for my family. 1Password had a sustainable business model, they sold quality, recommendable software with upgrades every couple of years.

edit:

I realise now that "This is strictly a business decision" and "1Password had a sustainable business model" might be seen to be contradictory, but I do see differences. With 1Password subscriptions they will make more money than I estimate I spend on the standalone product. It also means the work put into new features is de-coupled from a release cycle, and therefore the money coming in.
We need globalization for the larger markets and the exchange of goods from other countries that have a comparative advantage. China has one of the largest markets within its own borders so it can afford to be protectionist. (this will quickly change)

The shell interface is good. Especially `pass search`. Simple but effective.

It has gotten quite popular as well (amongst technical folks anyway). It is basically just a giant shell script. You can almost sense the authors frustrating. FINE I will just write a password manager myself. This started a simple 30 line shell script. Then you get into hacking on it. The you figure FINE I will polish it and release it. :)
> the social justice goals of some cryptocurrencies

Which cryptocurrencies have social justice goals?

IMHO the cryptocurrency movement's politics are mainly libertarian -- get government out of the way (by establishing a means of payment outside government control), so people are more free to transact with each other as they please.

Social justice is almost the opposite platform -- give government more control over how resources are spent, so resources can be targeted toward disadvantaged populations.
C++17 has support for sum types via std::variant.
Typically the trade-off is how much money you want.

Once you're an established company you can probably borrow around ~20% of your revenue while an equity investor will typically be putting in 3x-5x your revenue.
It's not about disarming police officers, it's about disarming the public. We have armed police officers in Germany. The number of people they shoot per year is close to nil. They can expect no one is going to kill them and act that way.

Really.. just make it harder to get a gun license. Only hunters and security personel should be able to get one. Plus a limited license for people who shoot for sports. No one whatsoever should be able to buy automatic machine guns and the like.

That won't immediately solve the problem, but is IMO the only way to start a solution.

What you SHOULD take away from cops are the supposedly NON-LETHAL weapons. Cops use them, as if they did no harm and don't think twice about using a less problematic option.
Okay, I went through my sources, and remembered I got my conversion from Wikipedia¹. Strangely, Wikipedia gives a different map than the RFC. (One DJB paper agrees with the RFC, so either the Wikipedia is wrong, or I'm missing something.) That's why I didn't multiply by any constant.

I have a problem however: how do I find the modular square root of -486664?

I have a similar configuration, a KeePass file synced across my devices with Syncthing and it's pain free. I never think about Syncthing every since I configured it. My only worry is if all devices fail at once, I could lose all my password safe, but that's highly unlikely.

We tried passpack at work for a while to be able to share passwords across a small group of people and it wasn't a great experience, mostly because we always had to manually share everything to everyone in the group.

We moved to Lastpass recently because we can have group passwords. Turns out that you cannot even copy the password without displaying it, which I'm very surprised of.

In comparison, the KeePass would be worst if it comes to sharing between a group, but for a single individual, KeePass + Syncthing is amazing. I don't use any plugin, I just open up KeePass, ctrl + f to find the entry, ctrl + b to copy the username, ctrl + c to copy the password. With those shortcuts, it's quick enough for me.

> Pass has integrated git commands so pass git <command> does everything that git does.

Ah, okay, I didn't realise it was integrated. I agree that for the target demographic git would seem to be an ideal already understood mechanism.

I thought pass was just local storage, and you were suggesting using `GIT_DIR=/pass/localstorage/path git` to manage synchronisation.
IMO the article includes an important reason as to why their push to their company controlled cloud is horrible.

> While the product is not open source, the storage format is, which is important to avoid vendor lock-in of your data.

I'm a user of 1password. Honestly I've been less and less happy with the product for a while now, I think since they moved to version 6. AgileBits seems to been moving away from the open structure they had and pushes more for vendor locking. Which is bad is any case, but especially with your passwords.

The question is not just whether or not you trust them right now, but do you trust them in a year from now? What about 5 years from now? If so, you're on board with the vendor locking and do not have to worry about it so much.

Personally I will move away from 1password because the trust they gained from their start, has slowly degraded for a while now.
One reason is they have to test and potentially debug the obsfucated build which is a lot of extra work!
There are other Saas services for that, like https://www.imgix.com/. Not sure if this plays well with S3 out of the box though

Under what circumstances do you care about the location?

When I'm using cloud GPUs it's pretty much a batch job, and latency is the last thing I care about.

I'm not aware of any DL projects in Australia on health images which may have some legislative requirements about keeping data onshore.
Reasons the cloud is bad:

1) I stop paying, I lose all my passwords.

2) 1Password gets aquirhired/goes bankrupt, I lose all my passwords.

3) It easier to be much more confident if my passwords never leave my computer -- sure there could be code in 1Password which secretly makes internet connections for no reason, but people would notice it, however if it is communicating frequently then it is harder to track. it's IMPOSSIBLE to verify the web access, because they can just send different javascript every time you connect.

If some finds a 1Password security problem, but my passwords are only on my computer, then that's not too serious. If some finds a 1Password security problem but my passwords are on Dropbox, then dropbox has to also have a massive security problem. If my passwords are in 1Password cloud and 1Password has a big security hole, game over.
Why It's So Important That Self-Driving Cars Get Their Own Radio Freq

It's always Program; in British English Program and Programme are not interchangeable and mean something quite different. A Program is a piece of computer software, a Programme is a series of planned events or a sheet of paper/booklet listing a series of details about an events. That we use the two distinctly is pretty powerful and the ambiguity of using one spelling is removed.
No, because if you think for the long term you can find that you are not around after a short term.
Right. In my last two jobs, one of them had a relatively low volume of images (let's say, around 30k being requested per month) scaled to an arbitrary number of transformations, whilst the other had a high volume of images (millions) with a low number of transformations.

In both cases, the cost of doing it ourselves (using something like thumbor) would have been a few thousand per month. In the former example, imgix cost a few hundred, in the latter it would have cost in the hundreds of thousands.

imgix is the fastest of the services i've looked at (transformation time is roughly half what I got from cloudinary, and average response time is also about half), but its pricing model means it's completely unaffordable for certain types of product.

The short answer is, it's really hard to make that work with the maths.

The way that bitcoin, and most block chains, work is that almost all of the work has to be wasted, because you want someone to find "the best" answer for a very hard problem. Also, some part of the answer to that problem has to involve the transactions.

You could do something like: Find the best match to (say) a polynomial of the SETI data of today, if I randomly corrupt it with the hash of some bitcoin transactions, except that isn't useful if the corruption destroys the problem you really care about, and it isn't useful (for bitcoin) if the transactions don't significantly effect the problem.

I haven't used `pass` yet so I haven't tested this. But I would expect them to make git threat hashed passwords as binary. That would make git more like a file system with history, which is just what you want for a password store anyway.

> We have it pounded into our heads that we need globalization in the form of open markets with no protectionism

Because that is false. It works for developed markets with existing strong industries. Dieter Frisch - former Director General for Development at the European Commission says in his La politique de développement de l'Union européenne [1], on page 38 of the PDF:

"En effet, on ne connaît historiquement aucun cas où un pays au stade précoce de son évolution économique se serait développé via son ouverture à la concurrence internationale. Le développement s’est toujours amorcé au gré d’une certaine protection qu’on a pu diminuer au fur et à mesure que l’économie s’était suffisamment fortifiée pour affronter la concurrence extérieure. Mais un tel processus s’étend sur de longues années, sans parler du préalable que constituent, dans le cas des ACP, la mise en place et le fonctionnement de structures régionales."

Essentially, it means that there are no cases of a country that developed through opening its economy to international competition. It always required protectionism which reduces gradually overtime as it is able to grow and absorb and compete with external competition. Haven't you noticed third world countries that attempt to follow America's advice never escape the poverty trap? What works for America does not imply it'll work for other countries.

> what makes your solution better than one from a company specifically based around security? If you use Dropbox, iCloud, etc., why is it somehow better than their cloud based solution?

I deliberately don't use cloud based storage for my passwords, secrets or other stuff I tend to store in 1Password.

> And if you don't choose the cloud option, what makes your local computer significantly better than their cloud based solution, besides that you have control over it?

It's the difference between a remote and a local vulnerability.

If Agile Bits buggers something up and introduces a bug that means password vaults can be decrypted without the master password (or just leak metadata, whatever) then when stored locally you also need to get access to my local machine.

If you are uploading your data to someone else's computer you now have vulnerable data out of your direct control. You've also created a gigantic target for hackers. There is no compartmentalisation, there's a password piñata up there with a huge target painted on it.
Obama suggested making a slight change to the measure of inflation used to calculate Social Security cost-of-living adjustments from the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI) to the chained CPI. This would have modestly improved Social Security's finances while resulted in retirees getting slightly smaller increases to their Social Security checks. Obama suggested this as an olive branch to the obstructionist Republican Congress that worked hard from the moment he got in office to prevent him from doing anything. It was a move borne out of desperation rather than the cynical hatred for the poor.

I'm not going to defend Bill Clinton. He made a lot of mistakes, including, as you say, making drastic, misguided changes to welfare and being "tough on crime". Although, for what it's worth, he has recently apologized for some of those mistakes [1].

In any case, fast-forward 17 years to today. Democrats and the Republicans are very, very different parties. I stand by my original statement: the only people who believe the two parties are similar are those who aren't paying attention.

Atari's GEM/TOS also had applications, abbreviated as "app", in the mid-80s. I don't know where people got the idea that "app" is something recent, but I've started seeing people say it in a few places lately. It's not true at all, we definitely had apps in the 80s.

I'm guessing if you can't even get any at on-demand pricing, the demand is high, the supply is too low, so the only way to get access is to pay through the roof.
beyond a pain it is incredibly over priced. To the point I can no longer afford it due to making just a little bit to much for subsidies.. They want $1800/mo for my family of 4. That's more than my $1600/mo mortgage and I am 100% positive insurance provides me next to nothing since I go to the doctor less than 1 time a year.

What I ended up doing is cancelling my insurance, I pay our doctor in cash on day of services. He gives us an instant 50% discount to pay same day without insurance. I pay the fine, and get disaster insurance in case shit happens for about $20/mo.

So now, Obamacare is failing not only me, but those its designed to give free insurance to. Because those that are suppose to be paying for the free people can't even afford it and are no longer paying.

The fine is a whole different story and is literally extortion.. Give money to this private company(i only have BCBS to choose from.. nothing else) or we will hunt you down and fine you.. Capone would be proud.

Anyone who supports the current obamacare system is a sheep and a fool. They're literally only supporting it because of the name it carries. No one in their right mind can say this is a good system that supports the American people.

Not only that but, because of one simple mistake on my taxes around these stupid new forms, I'm still waiting on my 5k tax return and its nearly August.

I voted for Obama twice and have never been more dissatisfied with my health insurance.. At 35yo this is by far the worst it has ever been. Before obamacare I paid about $75/paycheck for a really nice plan from my employeer. Now it's $1800/mo and my employeers will only pay up to like $800 when I've had one.

I work for myself now so it's different.

I live in Brazil and we have lots of protectionism. It's really interesting your comment, it changed some of my beliefs.
This was an absolutely amazing read.

Few lessons I took from it:

- "There is no such thing as digital circuitry. There is only analog circuitry driven to extremes." Digital is a pretty leaky abstraction. You can't safely ignore the physical world. In particular, be wary of your digital parts changing into other parts (or new "parts" appearing out of the blue) thanks to physics.

- There's so much that can go wrong. I'm in awe of people working on life-critical systems, and of challenges they deal with.

- What the fuck is going on with IC durability? The presentation quotes a text from 2013, which says "Commercial semiconductor road maps show component reliability timescales are being reduced to 5–7 years, more closely aligning with commercial product life cycles of 2–3 years." I.e. if your device has modern electronics on-board, it already won't last long because semiconductor devices themselves are expected to naturally fail after few years. This makes me really sad about the state of our technological civilization.

- Don't ignore specs you don't fully, 100% honest-to-god understand! Slide 38 is a damning enough description by itself. I'd add that this also applies to bureaucracies and laws - just because you think some rule is stupid, doesn't mean it is. "Move fast and break things" approach has no place where lives (or livelihoods) can be affected.

- Even adding a node to a linked list isn't a trivial thing, and has many places in which you can screw it up. This highlights just how much acummulated complexity we're dealing with here.

- Life always finds a way... to grow in your electronics and break it.
Well, at least you can be sure that it doesn't put you in an information bubble.
I am using Imgix for a personal photography site and it works great with S3. You point it to an S3 bucket, give it the access keys, and then use the URL they provide instead of the S3 bucket URL.

Using various query params, you can then control a bunch of transformations to the images that are applied on the fly when requested.
Interestingly, those "horribly, hilariously bad PowerPoint" presentations tend to have better content-to-noise ratio than the pretty ones.

This applies to the modern web as well.
