Being faster is one thing (good thing).

AFAIK it is not multitenant, you get your own machines.

They spin up the VMs with either open source Spark or the Databricks runtime - you get to choose the distribution and version before spinning up the cluster.

If you have enough workloads you can run your own pool of VMs to provide a 'serverless' experience to your Spark users: https://databricks.com/blog/2017/06/07/databricks-serverless...
US number is annual and doesn't include deaths from other reasons. Albania number is sum of the last 25 years.

So we could ignore other homicide weapons and say yes, this is equivalent to 48000 Americans a year.

Considering that US gun violence has fallen by about 50% since the 90s [1], I'd say this is equivalent to about 3-4x the US rate over the same period. It's a lot but not some murderous wasteland.

I was introduced to Native Deodorant via Product Hunt.

A "digitally native" brand that was only available through their website. It's the best working deodorants have found without the aluminum etc. - other brands in the healthier deodorant space required me applying 2-3 times a day. They also nailed their brand messaging and customer service.

Now that they're at P&G? May have to find a new answer.
I've seen a lot of posts recently on event driven architectures. (ex. [0]) Even Redis is getting a kafkaesque stream data structure [1].

Does anyone know more about the downsides of these systems?

I can imagine as they get bigger, there may be issues with tracing the effects of things that happen from the producer's perspective. Like, what happens when a file get's put into this bucket? You'd have to know about all the consumers and who acts on this particular event and in what way.

Three lessons from ten years of investing
Classic silicon valley-like thinking. Try to "disrupt" a system without understanding what it is for and why it was designed the way it was.

Bail is designed to prevent flight risk. It is set high enough that you'd have a hard time coming up with that much money without being forced to stay and appear. Having strangers pay your bail means you have no reason to stay. It makes bail jumping more likely. People having a hard time making bail is working-as-intended. It may be hard to swallow, but the system was purposefully designed this way. If you dislike it, write to your senator. Paying others' bail, even as inefficiently as this, will change nothing.

Very very inefficiently, actually. Mining on "unused cycles" on most PCs will generate negligibly small amounts of money. Even multiplied by the number of people foolish enough to enrol in this, it will still be a negligible amount of money. So who decides 1/10th of which criminal's bail this will go to?
The team behind this feature think that editor-agnosticism is also really important, that's why they split up this project into atom-teletype and teletype-core. AFAICT the 'core' library could be used to implement a package in any of the electron based editors.

I really wanted to use 1Password for Teams, I don't mind paying a subscription model, and their whitepaper on their hosted solution is really quite thorough:

https://1password.com/security/

My big issue is still with the web app allowing you to unlock your vault and access your passwords. They acknowledge in the whitepaper that it's theoretically possible that an attacker could MITM your SSL connection and serve malicious javascript, stealing both your master password and any secrets you access. They list certificate pinning and DNSSec as unimplemented future actions they may take, but also need to take into account that their web app servers themselves may be compromised.

All of this could ideally be mitigated by centrally hosting encrypted password databases, but either a) having the extension/desktop app cryptographically verify all server pages and assets, or b) allowing the web UI to be entirely disabled. If they did either of those I'd sign up for an enterprise account in a heartbeat.
Being together in person doesn't solve the problem of wanting to edit the same code simultaneously. For some projects, git is enough, but for something really small this seems like it would really help.
> Says the person who took an article about American labor organization and tried to make it about Europe.

That is not what I did. What I did was find the most historically important counterexample to an unselfconsciously silly thing you said. If I had realized that we are pretending the rest of the world doesn't exist, I could have chosen the anti-Communist leadership of the Teamsters during the red scare or something.

Equating unionism with Marxism is goofy. I mean, honestly, go to the local pipefitter's union hall or something and poll a few people on their feelings regarding Karl Marx or worldwide worker's solidarity or control of the means of production. Please just be honest: do you really think you are going to find a lot of real Marxists?

> Except the term "progressives" was coined by Marxists and socialists in the 1930s to separate themselves from liberals.

Not to downplay the importance of etymology, which dang reminded me recently is quite important, but I think that if we project the values of today's "progressives" onto the depression era, it is obvious that they identify quite a bit more with the New Deal than with the progressive movement. Today, it is just a poorly thought out label. I think you can see why someone might view "Marxist" as a bit more than that.

It's a tangential point, but "progressivism" as a political term in the US dates back all the way to the 1890s. It meant something different in the 20s and 30s, which sort of illustrates the point I'm making.
I don't understand why people are downvoting you - this was my first thought as well.
They could have just asked the Dutch if this was going to work.
Also,

> The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics. Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron.
Look up the Welfare Reform Act of 1996. And with UBI you'd be replacing benefits, not removing them.

I'm pretty confident that AgileBits only has access to the encrypted versions of stuff. They've thought about this long and hard and it would decimate their business if they did anything as stupid as storing things in plaintext. That's why you have to enter your master password... to decrypt the file.
In my mind I imagine warp to mean actually warp space not fly through space, the theoretical Alcubierre drive may warp space. Space is shrunk in front of the Alcubierre spacecraft and expanded behind it.

The spacecraft doesn't actually move through space it pulls the space where it needs to go towards the spacecraft and pushes away the space behind it.

I'm no rocket surgeon so don't quote me.
I assume it would be the same as any kind of government benefit. Many homeless and unbanked people now get various forms of benefits via a card that functions like a prepaid debit card.

No it doesn't. It hasn't done for a long time.
At least they're producing binaries, not claiming their "abstract web hardware" is "near native" when it takes 100MB of browser to say "hello, world!".

Web developers are even lower on the totem pole.

No one is saying Peter Thiel is guilty of anything, but the article is about the fact that he gave money to officials probing Google's activities, which seems, if not illegal (not familiar enough with American law to judge on that), at least highly immoral. My comment was simply underlining the fact that this is never mentioned once in your comment, which ends up sounding a lot like basic whatboutism and, as such, like some form of blame-shifting.

I understand that Google's behavior is no better, they are investing a lot of money to steer legislation towards their financial sweet spot, but then any discussion about anything is moot, because someone else is doing it. When Bloomberg writes an article about Google's shady business, then by all means, let's discuss that at length.

As for the article, I found it was a tad light, I would've liked more details about the reason why Peter Thiel would care so much about Google and hurting Google specifically that he would do that. Some analysis about the sordid influence of money on politics as a whole would have been nice as well, it does seem from my remote French perspective that the relationship between money and elected office in the US has taken a turn for the worst in the past 5 to 10 years.

If that was the reasoning, it's probably better for the profession that they quit.
This has nothing to do with equity (except insofar as equity is part of your net worth). This has to do with the actual cost of a move, that is, the difference in your net worth at the end of the day once all the dust settles. The higher prices go, the higher that cost goes. It's easiest to see that when considering a purely lateral move, but the cost of a move doesn't really depend on the cost of what you buy with the proceeds of the sale, it just makes the math easier if the prices are the same.

We put a certain positive intrinsic value on a local move (and a very high negative intrinsic value on a remote move), because we like the area but the house we're in is not ideal. If the cost of a local move is less than this intrinsic value, we'll move, otherwise we won't. The higher prices go, the higher the actual cost of moving goes, and the less likely we are to move.
Pretty much, yes.

Market economics works for commodities.

For wages, it tends to subsistence levels.

For public goods (including information) it under-provisions.

For rents (fixed-quantity goods or services, including both land and attention), this tends to absorb surplus valley.

For assets and risk-based elements, I'm still sorting out the dynamics, though they also appear to be poor.

There's various precedent for much of this:

* Adam Smith's classifications of types of goods: commodities, wages, stock (capital), rents, assets (gold and silver), interest, and "expenses of the sovereign" (public goods).

* Various economic-sector classifications. Alexandre Dumas, Simon Kuznets, Clark, and Beniger come up with 3-5 elements, generally: extractive/sourcing, manufacture & construction, transport and distribution, risk and finance (especially FIRE), governance and information. I'm finding these fascinating.

* Industrial classifications including SIC, NAICS, and ISIC.

* A classification of technological methods I've been looking at for a few years, including materials, networks, information, control, knowledge, and power transmission & transformation.

But yes: inoformation and markets play poorly. Software and systems incorporate both information and risk elements. (And probably others.)

We believe that Live Share's ability for developer's to work together in real-time, while choosing to "follow" each other, or temporarily/periodically investigate something independently (e.g. "Let me check out whether this helper function could work here"), will enable it to apply naturally to many collaboration scenarios (e.g. pairing, seeking help/advice, swarming, consulting, mentoring, etc.), without needing to impose any specific opinion on team workflow and/or the practices they've found to be efficient/successful for them.

I wouldn't expect Gitlab to do something stupid like this today but getting rid of the CLA protects the free software community from Gitlab doing stupid things in the future.

I'm confused now about what was in Gitlab's CLA. The CLAs I've signed never transferred rights to someone else, only asserted that I had the right to grant a license and was granting a license I wouldn't later revoke (since the point of a CLA is to protect a project from "oops I wasn't supposed to contribute that" or "oops, new boss here decided to revoke all our contributions").

I'm also confused why GNOME and Debian would have a problem with a CLA even if it did constitute a transfer of rights, since FSF actually does require you to sign over copyright to them in order to contribute, and GNOME and Debian seem happy to use FSF projects.
And if we're talking about lunatic radicalism and out-of-control petulance, sometimes it's just a flag being burned, kneeling at a football game, a black man living in a white house, or whatever nonesense about impure blood and 'White Europe' gets fascists marching in the streets these days.

All of these things have elicited death threats. Again, the difference is that in our society, the threat of law keeps those people from carrying them out. A few decades ago, the threat of law did not, and lynch mobs were common.
Not really. Liberals aren't really talking about grand conspiracies and the deep state and all that trash.
Tonnes of people are already living in a bubble: welfare (speaking broadly here) is doled out to lots and lots of folks, and thus is a huge source of friction. Welfare was meant to help those poor through/in bad times, not those choosing to be poor.

Furthermore, plenty of people are already not working (or hardly at all)... all you need to do is eavesdrop/overhear the conversations single mothers are having; which forms to fill out, available programs, which Ministry to hit up and how (for the Canadians here), etc.

Isn't it odd how the ultra-rich trumpet UBI as an amazing godsend from government and society? A Smooth Sea Never Made a Skillful Sailor, and coddling those without the drive to hone their skills (with the money of those using their skills) will result in failure.
...because censorship (in general) work so well in the past? the bitcoin blockchain generates 6 one MB blocks per hour, that's 1.6 KB/s. i can think of multiple ways to smuggle data in at that bandwidth. blockstream apparently also has satelites broadcasting the blockchain. good luck shutting that down. transactions are even easier. they're less than 0.5KB, something you can easily fit in a few SMS, or in a envelope.
Sure. This is inspite of the hukou system, which is basically a kind of apartheid that keeps rural migrants from receiving services in the urban locales they are working at.

Why would they implement Bitcoin. Guys, seriously Ethereum is a way better method for actual payments. Shorter block times, the network is not congested at all, and they already process more transactions than BTC does per day.

If you want to publish a research paper, "Yeah, I know this isn't really a valid measurement, but it's the best I can do" isn't going to cut it. This isn't a research paper, but honesty is honesty.

Yep, it doesn't read as well marketting-wise, true.

You got downvoted but you're right. That's the whole point. Honor cultures exist in places where there is no strong, central justice system.

and in the later years apparently it rarely crossed 100 deaths (3 mil people). In 1997-98-1999 law and order totally broke down so there were a lot of deaths.

Not to mention that all land became state property about 60 years ago and in early 1990's was distributed to others. Needless to say original owners were not happy.

Today Albania is much safer than NYC, deaths are in most cases targeted (crime groups that go back and forth)
Now you're just making stuff up to sustain your apparent hatred of everyone "in the UBI side".

These aren't lazy know-nothings trying to get you to finance their lazy Tuesdays.

Disclosure: I work for AgileBits, makers of 1Password

Hello fellow (or former) password manager person! Fancy seeing you here.

The previous model wasn't killing us, in fact it isn't even "previous" because we still offer standalone licenses for those that want them and will continue to do so.

For those who aren't aware of our upgrade cycle in the past:

For Mac, we last charged for 1Password 4 back in 2013. Version 5 and 6 were free upgrades over the last 4 years. Version 3 users got free updates for 6 years before we released 1Password 4 as a paid upgrade.

For iOS, version 1 was paid, version 2 and 3 were free upgrades. Version 4 was a paid upgrade by way of a new app. It went free with premium in-app purchase in version 5 and all users who purchased version 4 got the premium service free in 5, 6 and 7.

If we really were struggling making revenue work for our standalone licenses we could've charged for upgrades every year like any other product does.

1Password.com is not about the revenue, it's about making a product that we can do more with. We have exciting ideas and features we want to create and introduce to our users but we couldn't do that without our 1Password.com solution. This is simply one of those options, our command line client is another one, and we'll be showing off even more great new features like these in the future.

On the security side, I encourage any security researchers out there to try to prove our applications insecure by demonstrating it via our bug bounty program:

Happy hunting.

That was probably a bad argument, setting up eclipse shouldn't be tougher than setting up tooling for modern SPA frameworks like react or vue..

But Electron is a there for a different reason. I can convert my SPA to a working desktop app with minimal coding (same Css/js front end/ja backend, if you use nodeJs). And even it works for all major platforms. So I literally have one codebase for web and all three desktop platforms.. beat that!

I know it's not optimal to have everyone open a chromium instance under the hood but how bad is it from JVM?
> Except the term "progressives" was coined by Marxists and socialists in the 1930s

Its a simple and easily verifiable historical fact that that's not when or by whom “progressive” as a political label (or even one used in the US) was coined. In 1912, former President Theodore Roosevelt—who was neither a Marxist nor any other variety of socialist—ran for President under the banner of the “Progressive Party”.

And what you suggest is also not the origin of the modern use, which was from early 1990s liberals in the Democratic Party adopting the term largely in response to decades of Republican media efforts to make “liberal” a toxic term, but also as a distinguishing marker against the rising center-right neoliberal faction of the party.
