I've used KeePassXC, and I think it's the best KeePass variant. I don't like stock KeePass because it's horribly slow under Mono (Linux/OS X). And I like but am not as satisfied with KeePassX because it lacks some features I like. From what I recall, the maintainers of KeePassXC got frustrated with the feature set and development pace of KeePassX, so they made their own fork. And they added nice things like TOTP code generation (i.e. Google Authenticator style) and YubiKey support.

I can't yet wean myself off of LastPass though, just because it's synced everywhere and is more reliable when doing form fills on websites. For example, KeePass and its variants don't have a concept of equivalent domains. For "equivalent domains" I should be prompted with the same lists of auto-fillable credentials, such as:

* youtube.com/google.com/gmail.com

* bing.com/hotmail.com/live.com/microsoft.com/msn.com/passport.net/windows.com

* apple.com/icloud.com

LastPass gets this right, but I sadly haven't seen any other password manager that does. I think there's an open issue with KeePassXC to address this but it's not merged or production ready.

Hadoop, make me a sandwich
Many Zigbee setups aren't actually mesh networks.

Zigbee defines only 3 device types:

1) Coordinator - Always on and the root of the network. Only 1 per network.

2) Router - Always on, can forward data from other nodes and send it's own data.

3) End Device - Can sleep, can _not_ forward data from other devices.

In practice with something like SmartThings, the hub is the coordinator and you can assume than any device which has a battery is an End Device since routers are required to always be on. _Some_ wired Zigbee devices (like light switches) will act as routers, but I've found they usually don't advertise if they do or not.

For many people, all their devices are battery powered thus they have no routers so there is no mesh at all, every end device must talk to the controller in this setup.
Of course they know that, just as murder investigators know they're never going to stop murder from happening.

Hell, in Napster's case, I'd bet half the folks involved went "woohoo!" then went home to listen to some pirated music.
BBR solves a different problem. The problem you have is wifi being terrible. There's massive buffering in the firmware which you can't get rid of.
Murder is illegal. But somehow the profits from tens of millions of murders aren't injecting cash into a vast underground economy. It's the money that does that.
I think the thing to realize here is that "no"s aren't personal.

Well, I mean, sometimes they are. But they're usually not. A $1B fund has roughly three years to allocate that $1B in resources --- that's nearly $1M a day. You need to make sure that the speed at which you're expected to invest doesn't detract from the quality of deals, so your bar has to be extremely high.

I think a valuable skill to develop as a founder is to recognize the difference between; "no, but I like you" and "no, and I don't like you / don't care." This industry is built on relationships. Unfortunately there will be a ton of people who just don't give a shit about you. But the ones that do, they're going to help unlock doors for you, and even if you get a "no", focus on recognizing real "clicks" with people.
No New Jersey city on the route?
These look great! Thanks for sharing.

Also, I like the idea of loosely enforcing against a state management library to cap demo sizes.
That's a great point. I just bought it on Etsy from a supplier with high reviews, but they supplied no documentation of any kind.
This + programming language choice and examples with voting as xutopia wrote is something I would pay for.
It's not just VCs. Over the past three years I've noticed that more and more people in general are giving "positive sounding words" instead of a yes or no. Designers, developers, writers, business people, from every part of the world.

The best people I've worked with have always gotten back to me right away with a concrete yes or no. I do the same, anything else is a waste of time. As soon as someone starts giving me anything like the responses in the article I move on.
noun: cycle; plural noun: cycles

1.a series of events that are regularly repeated in the same order.

So no, the "business cycle" is not a cycle. In the sense that you won't successfully fit a sin curve through the GDP that predicts timing or magnitude of significant deviations from the log GDP time series trend.

There are a bunch of variants for B2B as well:

"We see you have X reference clients, and usually like to see X+2 reference clients"

"We'd like to see you get a little further along in terms of product/market fit, and then let's talk"
> Perhaps I'm obtuse here, but who gives a darn if it's a matter of privacy

Some sites actually work incorrectly (e.g. keep giving you an .exe to download instead of something you can actually use) if they think you're on Windows when you actually aren't. I'm not saying this is good practice, just that people do it.

> So we send

Normal users don't do that. Remember, we're not talking about a "privacy mode you can enable", but a "privacy mode that is shipped by default out of the box". Obviously for an opt-in mode things are simpler.

> 3) Yay!

Turns out some sites break without geolocation. Again, not saying it's a good idea, but it is what it is.

> 4) Yay!

Just so you understand, the next likely step is Facebook blocking your browser.

> 5) And...? maybe it'd be wise to declare 4:3, but otherwise I see no issue.

Um... I don't think you understand what device pixel ratio is. This is the ratio of CSS to device pixels. Aka "is this a high-dpi screen", aka "which images should actually be used to look nice?

> 6) Well, obviously we should have a button of "This page is requesting private data - Share for this page load? Y/N"

So every page that uses performance.now() (hint: pretty much everything) would have this thing appear? Again, remember that we're talking about a default mode here. Do you really think this is the experience most users are looking for?

I really think you're talking about a quite different situation (opt-in privacy mode) than the one I was responding to...
> Sure they do. It's called "conversation" or "correspondence"

Conversation is action, not thought.

> If we had telepathy

There's a couple different things (in fiction, naturally) that go by that name; the active analog to oral communication is also action, the sort of passive integration associated (not exclusively, just as an example) many hive-mind collective organisms in sci-fi is thought rather than action, but also not analogous to what goes on between humans.
This article doesn't even render in a readable form for me on iOS chrome. Great job, Wired! Way to illustrate your point. :P
So that's similar to OpenMP parallel for looping?
>tried to foist on the innocent man

I'm not sure if that's the case. The article seems to be saying that they did actually find the drugs in the alley, and the officer was essentially recreating the finding of the drugs using his body camera. Obviously that isn't an acceptable way of using the body camera, and it has the unfortunate effect of causing the case of a potentially guilty drug-dealer to be dropped.
From what I understand DNA has gotten pretty good when used responsibly, but the rest are no better than reading a chicken's entrails. Have I perhaps been misinformed about DNA?
Maybe he was doing one of those "try a ketogenic diets for 30 days", or stumbled upon one of those keto advocates who only eats meat and lard.

If all you read about low-carb diets is the first paragraph about any popular news story about them, then what you know is that low-carb diets are the ones where you can eat lots of meat and you should shun any foods with sugar or starches.
> More than 500 Dutch delivery addresses were reported to couriers and postal services with the intention of stopping the deliveries

Does this mean that the goal of the LEO was to only stop the deliveries without actually arresting the recipients? If that's true then it seems the way law enforcement works in the EU is very different than that in the US.
It's mostly not. The block chain is much better suited for this case, because you can insert a hash of your data into a particular block and prove that you were in possession of it at the time the block was mined.
Buying drugs does fund those actions. Drugs being illegal are a major reason why, and why I support legalization. But that doesn't excuse anyone currently making a purchase today.

Think of it this way, illegal images could be produced by advanced CGI, but aren't because that tends to be just as illegal. That doesn't excuse anyone who consume images not produced by advanced CGI.
I don't believe i will see this in my lifetime. A good proxy example is Shinkansen (bullet train) in Japan that also require almost straight line track for high speed. They are already building one from Hakodate to Sapporo in Hokkaido (180 miles). It will be completed in 2032 (15 more years) because 70% of track will be in tunnels that need to be bored. I can't imagine east coast population density making it easy to bore a tunnel from NYC to D.C.
Copy it to thumb drive and put in a bank deposit box as a backup. You can then do away with having your key in the cloud.
I wish I would hear this expressed more often. Many, many web apps lend themselves well to a very simple page-based UI. The development community can just never seem to recognize or acknowledge how many of their decisions are based on whatever the latest fad happens to be.

I don't think a couple months is that big of a head start. You may even be more agile than them since you are not beholden to investors and your management overhead is far less. I say work on getting your product out and see where it goes. A bit of perspective which may or may not be useful: Uber launched in 2011. Lyft launched summer of 2012.
Yes, there are seasonal variations in business (eg. agriculture!) but those aren't the "business cycle" which refers to the boom/bust recurrence (like the 1990s boom and 2000 tech bubble pop, the 2000-2008 boom and financial crisis, etc.)
Here's the example I'm thinking of:

One image has a large file at a specific path, added via something like: "COPY largefile /etc/path1".

Another image wants to add this same file to a different location:

"COPY largefile /etc/path2/".

My understanding is that these two blobs will have a different hash and can't be shared because the changeset includes both the file itself, and the destination location in the image.

Is that correct?
I never finished my bachelor's, but I was an environmental resource management major for a time. The reality is that we keep seeing improvements in average life expectancy and overall quality of life while the global population grows. Meanwhile, everyone declares it the end of the world and decries the fact that humans are the cause of our own demise.

While we certainly have the power to be the cause of our own demise, my opinion is that rumors of our death are exaggerated. I think there is still substantial room for improvement in how humans manage earth's resources such that we can adequately provide for our population.

One of my favorite cartoons from one of my college textbooks showed a bunch of single celled organisms giving off oxygen to create Earth's oxygen rich atmosphere and some of them organizing to complain of how they were poisoning the environment with all this oxygen.

It is no doubt true that humans impact the environment and some of the impacts are absolutely negative. But there is substantial reason to believe that it is far more complex than that, but humans have an incredible talent for taking positives for granted and dwelling overly much on the negatives.

One of my favorite examples is that Y2K was predicted to be the end of the world. When it got solved beforehand and turned out to be very anticlimactic, with a few VCRs that couldn't be programmed and silly things like that (instead of global financial meltdown as our banking systems failed), people then acted like those who had prepped for the worse were idiots. These days, people often frame the entire thing like "Those fools! Why did they ever think they were in danger?" No one gets up daily and thanks their lucky stars that they aren't living in the Y2K Post Apocalypse. Instead, they read the news and complain about all the reasons the world is going to hell currently.

If humans were not here, presumably crocodiles or something would be the top species on earth. I don't imagine they would husband earth's resources any better than we are.

Not intended as snark. These are just some basic points I like to talk about when I get the chance. Thank you for giving me a good excuse and I apologize if my framing is in any way aggravating.

Best.
idris is not exactly simple, is it?
Yea, I've always been a huge fan of (and donor to) Mozilla, but in the last few years, I've been losing some respect for them. Getting embroiled in absurd political snafus, head-in-the-sand analysis of their situation which ignores product quality, etc.

I switched to Chrome a lot later than most of my friends, and actively try to switch to Firefox every once in a while, for literally the last 7 or 8 years. There has yet to be a single time where a couple days of usage didn't reveal the browser as far inferior, in ways that affect my day-to-day life materailly (multiprocess support being the biggest, most basic issue for a long time). I spend a LOT of my time in the browser, and I'm a very heavy user (usually about 100 Chrome tabs open total at any given time, with fairly high turnover). The performance and quality penalty I pay when using Firefox just isn't worth it.

I don't disagree with the article's claim that Google's advertising is having a big effect on a drop in FF usage; it's just bizarre for them to act like this is the only possible reason why people are switching.
You pretty much described the dynamic of gatekeepers.

That's like saying "if an artist can't get a record label to sign them, I would also pass on them"... and now there are tons of ways to self-publish and crowdfund, including soundcloud and patreon and kickstarter!
Saying that it's a cycle implies you can time downward trends like crashes or predict their intensity, which, anyone in finance or maroeconomics will tell you is impossible

Just because something is hard doesn't mean it's impossible; You can predict anything with a degree of certainty. Then there are things like uncertainty and radical (Knightian) uncertainty.

Any chartered actuary would tell you the same if you could afford one, and they will know quite a bit about business cycles and how to model them, too.
A company is nothing like a sports team. Sport teams are mostly a lose-win proposition but companies can be win-win where each company thrives and supports the other within an ecosystem. Sports teams produce no value (you could argue entertainment is value I guess but I don't mean it in this sense). An employee's impact lasts significantly longer than any player on a sports team. Code I write today will run the next 20 years. Lebron's dunk today means nothing tomorrow.

A company is an "idea", as Yuval Harari says it is something, fiction, a story, we invent to create a shared purpose. It can be like a sports team (some of which presumably are incorporated), it can be like a tribe, it can be like a family. We can make whatever we want of it. I think companies would do better with a more tribe-like story than with a sports team like story.

A plea like, "it’s time to consider who is being left out by the web’s aesthetic," is likely sending the wrong message. Some designers are going to interpret that as a plea to make websites accessible at the cost of aesthetics, and solidify their own stance. It would probably be better to present how accessible designs can improve their designs.
I think they're saying the "no" had specific reasons and metrics for the no.

Having never been around the West Coast tech scene much, it sometimes seems that there is almost a tacit expectation that someone "owes" you money for your idea. Without commenting on whether that is "bad" or "good", it's just interesting to compare it to the attitude most of the people I know who start businesses on the East Coast who would find it at least odd if not right outlandish that someone would give you money before you demonstrated in some concrete way that you have the ability to tender it back with some form of interest.

Except it's not a big ask is it? Users routinely download 10-100meg apps on their phones and tablets and update them constantly.

Should desktop/laptops be the same? Is it only because desktops/laptops started long before the internet was fast enough to support that apps that they don't run like phones/tablets?

I don't want a locked down desktop/laptop. I'm only pointing that that more people than own desktop/laptops are constantly downloading and installing 30M bundles

As a product of the California K-12 system, I seem to recall being required to pass basic and intermediate algebra in high school.

I then signed up for the Army and spent 4 years not doing much math. When I got out and went to sign up for community college, I actually had to take the placement test twice to get a high enough score to skip retaking the exact kind of algebra course talked about in this article.

I believe you that you didn't mean to be uncivil, but I think maybe some calibration is needed to adjust to how this site is intended. Previous comments of yours have also crossed into sharp-elbow territory. If you could make that adjustment and fix this, we'd be genuinely grateful. (Btw, I had to make such an adjustment myself. Many of us have.)

Pejorative phrases like "Come on, whoever you are", "You're seriously going to?", "drop words on us", "have even the slightest clue", etc., add no information and are the equivalent of sharp elbows. This is uncivil. Piling on half a dozen of them is nasty. If we take all of those out, there's almost nothing left.

You could have simply said, "I don't understand some of these words, like 'infarction', 'edema', etc.". But you could just as easily have been grateful that so substantive a comment got posted to HN and trivially Googled those words for yourself.

In any case, given that another user had already helpfully supplied definitions, I don't see that your post had any positive purpose. Lashing out at a fellow commenter is definitely not what you should be posting here.
