Disclosure: I work for AgileBits, makers of 1Password

We outline the entirety of how this works in our white paper:

https://1pw.ca/whitepaper

We cannot tell what your data is. It's encrypted on your device using keys that only you know. Then we store it on our side on the server.

The unique solution of using your Master Password and your Secret Key, makes brute forcing the data on our server an incredibly expensive job for anyone attempting to do so. It makes our servers an absolutely terrible target.

I definitely recommend reading the white paper, it's quite easy to read, even if you aren't super interested in cryptography. If you have questions though just let me know. I'll make sure you get answers.

Albanian here (living in NYC), and this is a grossly over-exagerated article, and she has no citations whatsoever on her numbers, just a attention seeking/sensationalist article.

The region is very remote. It takes hours to get in a main city, and usually the region is blocked during the winter. Historically this place is Catholic as the Turks/Ottoman empire couldn't influence the region at some of the traditions had carried on.

I was in the region this summer and it is beautiful place to visit. Some of the scenery looks like like strait out of a Lord Of the Rings movie.

If you visit the Thethi region, I'd highly recommend during the summer and a 4x4 / SUV. If you love hiking and the occasional 4x4 off-roading, this is a great place to visit.

For me, coming from Java it was a breath of fresh air simply because of the simple build setup. (Modern) Java requires gradle (which is a magical setup, written in a language totally dead outside of gradle scripts), special magic for a "fat jar", and even then it doesn't create a exe/elf at the end. And the build is fast - even on a raspberry pi.

Oh, and the IDE environment is amazing - you literally don't need much more than VSCode or vim (the language tools have built in refactoring support, formating, quick compile for syntax error, godoc).

And you have closures, something Java didn't have until 8, and even now many libraries don't support it.
I think the two main questions raised in this case:

1. Is it always ok for someone to build a bot to do something which can be legally done by hand? Example: Building a LinkedIn scraper that tracks all public data. Or using a GPS tracker to track a car, instead of manually following it

2. Is it anti-competitive practice, and a violation of anti-trust laws, for LinkedIn to allow the general public, and other companies like Google, access to its public data, but ban others such as HiQ?

On question 1, I tend to lean towards LinkedIn's position. Just because something can be legally done by hand, shouldn't automatically mean that we should allow it to be done at massive scale by automated scripts. I wouldn't want companies having the right to surveil the movements of every citizen 24/7, just because they have the right to follow someone on foot, and I think a similar argument can be made against HiQ.

On question 2 though, I agree with HiQ. LinkedIn's attempt to ban HiQ doesn't seem like an attempt to protect their users, but rather, an anti-competitive attempt to kill off a potential competitor, and secure the market for themselves.

Since dignity is subjective, how can someone (the taxpayer) have any business having an opinion on whether someone else is living with dignity?

I fail to see how the subjectivity of dignity has any relation to your claim that "What does matter is where does the money come from."

The problem I always ran into was customers getting the consumer gear and wanting me to make it print from their server, with drivers only from HP and no support for server operating systems.

My response to anything HP that wasn't good-sized obviously-business-targeted printers became "I can probably make that work, but it's going to cost you more in my time fiddling around with it than just getting a more appropriate printer."

Mostly DRAGNN is a lot of hard work to compensate for how difficult Tensorflow makes your life if you're trying to write this type of model. If you use a library like Chainer, PyTorch or DyNet, the problem this solves simply never occurs.
That would be part of the "details" that need to be worked out, to prevent this and other issues.
But if you're downsizing then yes there is a cheaper house. That's how the housing market generally works ($ per square foot * # of square feet).

> The problems start when there isn't.

And the market always opens up when there isn't because it means the demand goes higher and thus creates new sellers. That also "rises the tide" and increase everyone in the area's house prices. So it nets it self out.

"The Visa card, which will be issued by Gibraltar-based pre-paid card provider Wavecrest, will be linked to an app that allows users to buy and hold cryptocurrencies through the LBX exchange. Customers will also be able to withdraw money using the card. Cryptocurrencies will be converted to sterling at the time of withdrawal."

Great, so I can put in £200 at the start of the day before work, then when it gets to lunch and the bitcoin market is currently crashing, I can withdraw my full savings now valued at £2 and buy half a sandwich, bargain!
Talking about how it's your personal responsibility to pay for your degree and you're to blame if you can't get a job, because you chose the wrong degree, is exactly what I am talking about.
Exactly. If you create a 9v voltage between an artery and a vein (though 0.1v is plenty) and you generate more than around 160mA current (any battery and static electricity can do that).

Essentially you'd have to get a conductor into an artery and one into a vein, and if there is a millisecond where both are in there but not touching the skin your heart will stop. It can be restarted for a minute or so afterwards, but it won't restart on it's own.

Your skin has a "safe" (more or less) conductive layer to prevent this from occurring, with another layer with enormous insulation below that. That's why humans usually survive getting hit by lightning, yet succumb to such a stupid tiny amount of current if it gets past the skin.
Some of us are fond of the conveniences of a gravity well.

While it's possible I'm not understanding some important aspect of invoice generation, I don't believe JavaScript is necessary for this process... Plain HTML form inputs -> Server -> Generate PDF? What am I missing? Why's JavaScript required here?

I think we forget that the web was a pretty productive thing even before JavaScript was widely used. GMail existed (and still does) in a javascript-free form. You can even use Google Maps without JavaScript. Granted, JavaScript enhances both experiences, but it's not strictly required.
So, how well does that theory match reality?

Does it actually in practice prevent flight, or does it just fuck over people who can't pay?
I thought the proposition we were discussing was whether liberal arts majors are "unemployable," not whether or not they're "more employable" (than whom?).
Every single platform has their 1-line hello world example. iOS has storyboards, Windows has XAML, Linux has QT components.

If all you need is an action button to trigger some underlying code, then those hello-world products are very simple.

Electron is NOT that easy to use of a platform. In fact, it's quite technical and requires a lot of knowledge about node and HTML/CSS. It requires that the developer understand you're running a node process that feeds its results to a browser that has a native chrome.

Visual Studio Code and Slack for example have native plugins that light-up the various platform's features. So you're never completely guarded from having to write native code. At the end of the day it's just another UI toolkit and language choice you can make when building out your software.

> The college of business literally teaches you how to make money, especially in finance, where they teach how to start with a pile of money and make it a larger pile of money.

They most definitely do not. In fact one of the central teachings in finance is that it's very hard to do that (many caveats of course).

I also did EE and went to business school, and then I went into finance (the career). The skills are not terribly different. In fact quite often I realise that some item I'm reading about was shown to me in my EE days.
I can see the appeal of doing because it's cool. That's the primary reason I'd consider going into space. I'm not sure roughing it in a balloon would be the my idea of a good time once the novelty wore off. I wonder if there'd be some tangible benefit to colonizing Venus for adventurous entrepreneurial types... "There's gold in and/or on them thar clouds!" There's nothing like bajillions in potential profits to get people excited about moving to the a frontier. Actually...

With floating cities, the idea of a space elevator isn't that crazy. What could we do with space elevators on Venus?

Historically, Bitcoin has had high short-run volatility but also strong longer-term appreciation trend. That means it's been a good store of value, but not one you want, ideally, to rely on in situations where you might want money on short notice with little control of timing.

(Whether it's reasonable to project that past behavior into the future is another discussion, of course.)

i think that's strawman at this point. even if bitcoin had 1GB block sizes, bringing the wait time to 1 block (10 minutes), it's still not going to be acceptable for POS. it's either going to be on-chain with no confirmations, or through layer2 protocols.

The Crypto Wallet Theorem
I'm not saying it isn't a legitimate problem but I've never had it.

For me, if we're not using git I could get the other dev's latest changes by simply doing a file copy of whatever I needed and then get it into my own environment. I work offline with most of my dev mates. We are rarely ever coding at the same time of day given time zone differences and sleeping patterns.

If we're a small team we're probably quite aware of where the other one is in the code and what they're working on. I don't need real time for that.

I think being able to see the other dev type in real time in the same file doesn't solve anything for me and may in fact be distracting and counter productive. I'm not sure 'real time' fits here.
I think there are lots of people in the US that consider gun deaths a huge problem. But the fair description of our collective sentiment in the US is that gun deaths are just part of the price of freedom.
For Boston at least that is patently untrue. Every company wants to run you through the whiteboard hazing. Knowing what a for loop is, is going to get you shit.

Also, don't apply to companies? That may be fine for a small percentage of people who can get ahead of the pack or luck out but that's not doable for the whole industry. Is every junior dev supposed to constantly troll meetups and cold email more senior devs to get into the industry? Networking like that is good advice now because it makes you stick out but if everyone does it then the senior devs are going to start treating newcomers like we treat recruiters and just blanket ignore them until we need something from them. It's not feasible for the entire industry to be growing in demand and still only be willing to grow the supply of devs through the old boys club style of networking
You're still requiring a poor person to get the permission of a wealthy person to perform work they know how to do on the open market. Why would you cripple the poor in such a way?

How Front-End Developers Can Make a Bigger Organizational Impact
Could the protocol implemented by teletype-core be (easily) spoken by a non-electron editor, or is there an inherent impedance mismatch where e.g. the protocol structures its data in ways amenable to DOM manipulations of text but not to other text buffer formats?
Rust's definition of "data race" isn't just "what the Rust compiler rejects", it has a specific meaning:

"Safe Rust guarantees an absence of data races, which are defined as: 1. two or more threads concurrently accessing a location of memory, 2. one of them is a write, 3. one of them is unsynchronized."

https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/races.html
You keep making the COBOL to PASCAL connection, but to me that implies that you don't understand their design goals. The entire ALGOL-W, Pascal, Modula(-II), Oberon, Oberon-07 chain of Wirth languages was decades of striving for a minimalism in design that is entirely different from languages like COBOL and certainly have nothing to do with "program as a natural language sentence". The Wirth languages doesn't shy away from using English keywords, but when you look at their grammar, what stands out is how they focus on simplicity, not approaching natural language.

Wirth-ian languages is about languages as engineering. They're precise and pragmatic - e.g. constructs were stripped out if Wirth did not feel he could translate them into assembly in a compact and simple and easily understandable manner; he put restrictions on adding improvements to the compiler that didn't "pay for themselves" etc. The entire toolchains and systems and languages he worked on is focused on this.
It's like having Leonard Cohen transpiled to Justin Bieber. Now look at it from the Justin Bieber fans point of view, why would they listen to Leonard Cohen in order to hear Justin Bieber ? Even though research says Leonard Cohen makes better music! From Leonard Cohen fan's point of view it doesn't matter as they only hear Leonard Cohen, not Justin.

I'm not saying that social media doesn't exist and that anything you say can't and won't be used against you in a court of law. It will be. What I am saying is that relying on a complex model based on this is just rank silliness. Still, I guarantee that that rank silliness will be a product, it will be sold and and it will be bought.

For a big market with small bets (ads) this makes sense. For a small market with big bets (employment) it doesn’t make sense, to me at least.
Javascript "fame" came before npm/Node.js and before it had any idea async/await would ever be implemented.

Simply put, Javascript is the only language in the browser.
It's amusing to see this while building in Second Life.
The Second Life build tools are a 3D CAD system with real-time collaboration in virtual reality. Several people can be editing the same set of 3D objects simultaneously. Others can stand around and watch, from different viewpoints.

Doing this for text is trivial by comparison.
I worked for them as an instructor, course developer, and general staff mentor for a while at one location. My opinion is that this isn't a failure of the model as much as it is a failure of strategy, management, and opportunity exploitation.

They flat out saw the tools as their only asset which was an almost criminal mistake. They utterly undervalued the potential of their educational group and bled them dry out of a misguided attempt to focus on a core competency that was already not working. It left new people with limited ability to develop new projects and the use of new tools as they learned new competencies. They provided a service that too few people new how to make value of. They waited for the world to come to them, and it never did in sufficient numbers.

Haven't the courts already decided that if things can be done by hand then they can be automated? For example license plate scanners were ruled legal because officers can view that information in public, but the automation allows the police to follow everyones movements with only a few machines set up. This ship has sailed
I'm more concerned about people in governments, not rich millionaires. The only way it could work would be to create a UBI of 0 at the beginning and publicly say to increase it only every time a social welfare is deleted. I have huge doubts about the doability of this solution.

I don't have any issue with billionaires believing into UBI and sending cash to Kenyans. I don't know their true agenda, but they might gain some political influence / power when they'll try to implement this into western countries (and it will be with our money this time of course, not theirs).

How to run a bootstrapped startup as a single founder. I don’t have a problem with the tech etc. and those that see it and experience it, love it.

However, that cliche stands true - marketing and sales are hard. ‘Cold emails’ feel extremely spammy to me, as I know when I’m on the receiving end they get deleted almost straight away. I’m working on content marketing (blog posts etc.), but that is a slow burn that doesn’t provide any returns for a while, or at least that is how looks to me from the outside.

At the same time, it’s a great experience and I’m loving that fact I get to talk to strangers about tech and security almost daily, it is certainly a great new way to look at things.
Seems like bad timing, the transaction fees compared to other crypto currencies are massive right now[1] and the transaction speed is just as bad, with 70.000 pending transactions[2]. Im assume that this situation is going to become better. Apparently one reason is, that segwit transaction space is barely used at the moment.

With what?

Zimbabwe has been in a hyperinflation downward spiral for almost two decades now[1].

If you hold your Zimbabwe Dollars overnight, they are only worth a fraction of what they were the day before. In hyper-inflationary periods, people would rather buy goods immediately than hold onto cash because the cash depreciates FAR faster than commodities.

One of the main arguments in favor of a negative income tax is that it would require less bureaucracy, not more. With the tax, you could just let the IRS handle it, whereas with UBI you would probably set up another agency, similar to social security, to handle it.

For what it is worth, from an economic perspective, the two ideas are basically identical. In a very hypothetically scenario: If someone gets a UBI of $500 a month, and then makes $500 in income with a 20% tax, than they would net $900 for the month. With an NIT, you would design it so that they get a tax credit of $500 per month, and then every $500 in income reduces their tax credit by 20%. So that same person would get $900 of the month.
Pretty much that a conventional retail experience in makerspace form is economically impossible. Every space was staffed by two people during open hours. They had large capital costs and real estate costs. And few people were willing to pay the real cost of being a member. 150$ per person/month was pretty steep, so you would not just keep the membership going unless you were specifically doing a project.

That is why they were trying to pivot to being more a consultant and service supplier for corporate and municipal makerspaces. They just ran out of runway to make that happen.
