Exactly my sentiments. I want to like 1Password so much, I've even purchased it and used it but I had to store it in dropbox or something and then it had to sync with my phone which repeated failed. Things just didn't work well. This was awhile back but I remember hating my experience with it and moved on.

Now I've been using Lastpass for awhile (years?!) and it works pretty well - doesn't interrupt my workflow much but like you said it's really ugly. I've almost gone back to 1Password just by seeing screenshots and wishing that's what password my manager looked like.
The interface still feels less streamlined compared to Chromium. Also sync was hit and miss, the same as 3-4 years ago when I last used Firefox.

> 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

I feel like there's an inherent contradiction there, and the right thing to do isn't to "lean into" the contradiction, but rather to resolve it in the other direction. That is: we probably need to change what is legal for private individuals to do, if we want to effect change in what is legal for automation to do.

After all, at its most basic, we've got "automation" like Mechanical Turk, or people who you can hire to stand in a line for you to buy a new iPhone. Any law against automation won't work out if exceptions like that still exist; and those exceptions can't be stopped except by changing what deals it is legal for a human to make.
I assure you that Facebook knows all about you whether you have an account or not.

The “U” in “UBI” usually stands for “Unconditional” (not behavior- or means-tested), not “Universal”.
Just assume there is life elsewhere.

Even if the odds of life are astronomically low (one in a billion), there are billions of galaxies, with billions of stars.

The odds are good, but the results are irrelevant. Only 5% of the stars that we see can emit light presently that will ever reach us - they will all recede beyond our cosmological horizon.

There is very likely life elsewhere, and it makes no difference.
I have, temporarily. Some bugs and occasional slowness, coupled with more memory hogging, have me reconsidering.
It's really all about the practice. If you make liberal use of `panic!` (or things that may panic, like `unwrap()`, then you basically get into situation 1.

You're definitely right that Rust is better than Java in that it makes things that may crash (like the naked unwrap()) obvious and "yucky", rather than "usual business". But that doesn't mean that a panic is not a crash - it still is. The language itself is better - but that doesn't mean you can't write code that crashes :)
>4. Citizens not revolting against that (including people using and accepting currency, so buy and sell side)

I' extremely sceptical that people would do this. I most certainly wouldn't want to risk my life over one kind of (obscure) currency vs another.
I switched to test it, not sure yet whether or not I will stay using it all the time. I definitely notice the speed and the built in screenshot support is pretty nice.
Please keep in mind that a large part of the election interference from Russia focused on dividing the left. While there was obviously some of that already happening, a big part of the efforts did in fact focus on trying to split the vote of the Left and push people to Bernie/Stein/etc. The efforts don't have to have been purely pro-Trump to have been effective.
I really like container tabs (you have to enable them in about:config - privacy.userContext.enabled and privacy.userContext.ui.enabled). It allows me to have multiple AWS accounts open at the same time without having 2 different browsers or one account open in private mode. I have 2 main containers I use: production and staging.
> I think most sites can be broadly classified as (1) "relatively static" such as hackernews itself

My entire job experience would disagree. I have yet to work on a static content site. When I do, you can be sure I'll use hugo or some static site generator, but every job I've had so far was to build sites that act on user-specific data that changes frequently.
I switched. I really like the performance boost, and it just generally feels "snappier". I also had a long seeded desire to support FireFox, so now felt like a great time to jump ship.
I don't really understand what your comment has to do with my comment.

> This is the ideal model, there is no greedy studio stealing most of the money

They don't steal most of the money. They are paid according to whatever agreement they have between themselves and the artist. Typically for services rendered, like providing recording, mastering and marketing services.
> Bitcoin is too big for a few "whales" to have a sizable effect on major price trends

Bitcoin is tiny as currencies go or as industries go. What is it $100 billion "market cap"?

> Whales are not gods.

Sure. But in such a tiny volume entity like bitcoin, any large player can easily move markets.

It doesn't even have market makers or any real rules yet.

I usually have around 100+ tabs open in Chrome at any given time on my 2014 macbook pro. I have been testing out Firefox 57 for about a month now. I am very impressed by the devtools UI and the customization features. The speed is something I don't have to worry about at all, and makes it easier to compare Chrome to Firefox. I am fortunately not in a situation where any of my addons/extensions are unsupported on either browser. It has been fun to compare them and I think I will be switching completely to Firefox.
Accepting zero confirmation transactions at POS is a different problem to fees (which are atm admitantly high but that should improve)

Merchant picks a solution based on who they integrate with - something like BitGo Instant[0], GreenAddress[1] or an analytics/fraud API provider that adds a risk score to a tx no different to a credit card transaction

[0] https://www.bitgo.com/solutions#instant
I guess I'll start it off. I've done a apples-to-apples compare on memory usage of 7 tabs with the same content and FF57 came in at 514 MG to chrome's 512 so that's basically a wash.

The speed has been the main factor along with being able to step away from Google, if only a little bit.
I use Chrome as my secondary browser only when I need to inspect/develop, but I'm using Firefox more often now.
I have couldn't be more happier. The ability for Firefox nightly to modify requests and resend is a bonus. Also less sluggish and quicker. Ublock origin and last pass both supported with nightly.
Junit Extensions for Test Impact Analysis

This is your regular reminder that all your business relies on a service that may have outages.

Feel free to turn your individual crank towards further criticism of data silos, walled gardens, single points of failures and lock-in.
That is the general principle that businesses operate on. They condition of their legacy stacks is usually bad, too, with lots of poorly-thought design. Some companies such as Jane St claim hiring people who can quickly pick up unusual languages leads to staff that's better at problem-solving in general. Unlike them, the Oberon and Pascal languages were designed to be simpler than what's currently standard for educational purposes. If you know an imperative language, you should be able to learn an Oberon dialect about as fast as you can read the syntax.

For a more batteries included, see the Component Pascal dialect with Blackbox:

http://blackboxframework.org/index.php?cID=home,en-us

It had some uptake in Russia and embedded. Still a really, niche player for sure but it did. Also, Astrobe has an Oberon IDE and platform for embedded.

http://astrobe.com/Oberon.htm

Finally, the most industrial one with longest time would be Free Pascal with Lazarus since it's sort of a Delphi port.

http://www.lazarus-ide.org/

IDE training, native libraries available, and ease of integrating C libraries are all I would be concerned about if just trying to crank out features. They'll certainly pick up the language(s) with no trouble at all.
I switched a few weeks ago when 57 hit the Nightly channel. The main incentive towards Firefox for me has always been the Tree Style Tab extension[1]; it's just that Chrome's better performance used to be a stronger incentive. Now they're more-or-less equal on that front.

I just stopped sharing the document. I was just running it over crappy cafe wife for 2.5 hours, max ~20 people, always 5 to 10... performance seemed fantastic - didn't tax my lappy at all. Very impressed!

[Re-shared it at 28e6c3b4-754c-44ef-9406-869604db9db5 - it would be good if you could keep a UUID somehow, but I guess that's unfeasible]
Higher Order Component for Rendering Spinner in React Native App
Asynchronous I/O refers to the fact that all I/O interactions default to being asynchronous in JS, not the fancy new `await` keyword, which is nice, but just sugar around Promises. The result of this default is that makes a best practice into a feature, not something I have to manage as a developer.

I've been running FF Nightly for weeks now, and I really like it. It feels snappier than Chrome, and I hope it can bring back a significant portion of developers as well.
I switched on my work laptop a few months ago, with the knowledge that 57 was the one to look out for. Got the update yesterday and was impressed enough to switch at home as well.

I've also been using Firefox on my phone for a while now, specifically so that I can run ublock origin and video speed controller, since mobile chrome doesn't support extensions.
Whoa. Didn't know about that. Definitely going to give FF a shot now. Thanks!
In the most general sense, way too much to list here. But in terms of specific classes or something...

1. I'm taking 3 different Neural Networks related courses on Coursera right now (why 3? Well, I accidentally signed up for one I didn't mean to, but since I already have a Coursera subscription, and since you can keep switching sessions, I just decided to keep it). The three are: Geoffrey Hinton's original NN class, the first class in Andrew Ng's new Deep Learning specialization, and Introduction to Deep Learning, the first course in the Advanced Machine Learning specialization from the Higher School of Economics.

2. I'm taking the first class in the GIS specialization on Coursera.

3. I'm taking the 4th class (Bayesian Statistics) in the "Statistics with R" specialization from Duke on Coursera.

Outside of that, I'm trying to find some time to spend reading Artificial Intelligence - A Modern Approach.

seriously? thousands of dollars for corporate income taxes? is this because you registered a c corp?

I'm about to register a s corp in California for a SAAS like yours., my friends did it told me that they just hire a local CPA for about 200 bucks.

they even told me turbotax (some beefy version) can do it too.

few thousands bucks for tax filing would be a serious cost for me.
I love pen and paper (and a big fan of Bullet Journal), but for keeping a coding journal, I keep mine digitally since it is easier to add entry, edit and search. Most code snippets are easier to copy and paste rather than writing on paper and then typing it back later. I can type much faster than write with hands. There's plenty of good apps/editors for note taking: Vim (what I'm using), Evernote, OneNote, Emacs with Org Mode, Notational Velocity, etc. Jupyter is also another alternative for coding journal.

Yep. Like to see some competition and I’m a huge fan of rust, so like to support it any way I can.

I hit minor compatibility issues on some sites, but it’s rare.

Main thing I miss is auto shrinking tabs. FF doesn’t support the bajillion tabs methodology so well right now.
I've given it a decent shot - but it still has very average profile support, which I use daily. In Chrome, it's easy to see what profile I'm using (top right corner of the window), and very easy to switch.

In Firefox, you need to go to about:profiles to even see what profile you're currently using.
I did the switch. The only time I switch the Chrome back is using to debug some angular code. For an odd reason, Firefox shows stack traces too ugly.
The greatest engineering creates a blank canvas. Modern devices are all about possibility, what does technology allow you to do? And on a deeper level, what does technology allow you to become?
I think it would be possible for two people to reasonably disagree over whether any given move "enables democracy" though. I don't have a good internalized list of the positions that Soros' critics take issue with, but looking at [0], I could see my way to arguing that lots of the issues either do or do not enable democracy, based on different initial assumptions.

I disagree. It may not be targeted to an industry, but it is a colossal subsidy that will greatly affect markets in a lot of ways.

Plenty can be done to eliminate poverty. I'm confused why you would think large-scale involuntary wealth redistribution is the only way.
> gluten intolerance appeared 1 week

A key fact! This type of information could really help a dietician assist finding a solution if you run out of avenues yourself. I said the same about loving sugar but funny enough the cravings / desire simply goes away once your body adapts to a new energy source (which is not glucose anymore). Having just recently been to Spain, the hardest part is eating out and missing out on all the great tapas!
> It allows me to have multiple AWS accounts open at the same time

I didn't think much about container tabs til I read this. This will be awesome for me. Thanks!
> cap gains exemption is per transaction.

Reread what I said?

That's why 2 houses with 2 mill gains is better than 1 house with a 4 million gain.

Selling 1 house with a 4 million gain is one transaction with a 500k cap so you pay taxes on 3.5 million. But selling one house with a 2 million gain then another house with another 2 million gain is 2 transactions so you pay capital gains on 3 million and get an extra 500k tax free.

Remember, until you sell the second house it's value is meaningless but when do sell it's purchase price and value become important.
Square cash is also a much better way for actual payments.

So perhaps the use case is not "for payments", but as a savings account. Bitcoin as store-of-value..
I knew that sounded familiar. There's a thread here from last year, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12995277

Includes some interesting stuff.
I'm a bugcrowd customer too, but offering a prize to say you are secure is a fallacy. It's also not how bugbounties work... Example:
- https://moxie.org/blog/telegram-crypto-challenge/

The fact remains the same that the things you championed against LastPass doing are now the features and products you are providing.

You guys have already been caught erasing and hiding the previous versions on your site to convert people to 1Password.com.

I don't really care about any of this since but you guys are just not being sincere about the things you're doing. It's kind of sad.
I've used Chrome continuously ever since it was released, but today I switched to Firefox on both my work and personal laptops.

Both machines are Macbook Pros, one 2012 and the other 2017, and Chrome feels laggy on both. Scrolling is not smooth, and certain web applications are just downright unpleasant to use (notably, Jupyter notebooks and Facebook).

I gave Firefox Quantum a try, and it's an amazing improvement. This is more how I imagined computers to function in 2017 to be honest. There is no noticeable lag on either machine. So I'll be sticking with Firefox for the foreseeable future.
It's not commercially available in the sense that you can't buy it because it's not approved, but it exists and contaminates existing crops regardless, and it will continue to do so.

You definitely do want it to be instant, but this isn't quite an apples-to-apples comparison.

That two-hour figure is the amount to get the transaction to the point of irreversibility so it can be re-spent without worry. The equivalent figure for credit cards is ~45 days and checks can take a week to clear.

But you're right, making transactions on chain is not going to be practical in an untrusted environment and it still depends on intermediaries.
Chrome has this as a first-class feature, "People." I have one window open for personal, and another for each of the AWS accounts I have access to. Sounds from your description like FF can do this at the tab level?
Disclosure: I work for AgileBits, makers of 1Password

To be clear, we aren't "moving to a hosted service."

We still offer the Pro features for iOS for $10 for users who want to purchase that instead of a subscription.

We still offer 1Password 6 licenses for Mac, they're available via the Mac App Store, our website, and in app after the trial period ends. We have also announced we'll be offering 1Password 7 licenses when we release that in the future.

We have also announced we'll be offering standalone vaults and traditional licenses for 1Password 7 for Windows.

So nothing is "moving to a hosted service." It's simply another option and it's also the option we feel is best for a vast majority of our users, that may not be you that falls in that category, but you're also reading hacker news, you're not in the same category as a majority of our users either.

Hope that helps a little at least.

Sure, I will send you an email this evening.
With the exception of casting things to my chromecast, I've switched to Firefox for everything. Performance isn't an issue, development tools are really good, I can be "that guy at work who catches firefox bugs," and I'd rather support Mozilla than Google at the end of the day.
You hear objections like this and you wonder how self-aware the people making them are. Principles are things you'll advocate for even when others mock you for them. Equally importantly: if "someone might mock me" is going to stop you from doing something, how do you do anything, ever? Are we on the same Internet?
This is a typical case of seeing things through engineering glasses instead of looking at the business case.

The technology is not the limiting factor at this time.

Bitcoin has more credibility, more volume, larger community, etc.
I checked the hosts file I normally use (MVPS) and they don't seem to be in there either, unless they serve the scripts from a non-obvious domain.

Also fun fact, TurboTax uses SmartLook.
There is little reason to prefer Bitcoin to US Dollars or Euros for those looking to avoid the effects of inflation. There is nothing uniquely difficult about getting hard currencies on the black market in such places, it's simply that most people cannot afford it - and will not be able to afford Bitcoin either. It's a dumb suggestion from breathless fanboys who didn't really think about the actual problem before pushing their solution.
We can agree that her army friend sounds like a nut, and it was probably poor judgment to include those inflammatory quotes from him. ("When you touch down get a decent knife and keep it on you," for example, sounds like poor advice at best.) And we can probably agree that the short passage you highlighted is not great as a whole. If I were her editor, I might have taken it out. But I'm not sure what this has to do with the point under discussion, which was whether the author made clear that the feuds are limited to a small portion of Albania, and are far from a nationwide phenomenon.

Moreover, for the record, the potential for radicalization of Albanian Muslims is by no means an issue of this author's own invention. It's easy to find numerous other examples of reports to this effect. So it seems indisputably true that "there are still worried mumblings" that Albania could become a recruiting ground for ISIS. One can easily find these worried mumblings with a cursory Google search. (Of course, the truth of the underlying proposition may be a different matter. I don't know.) I also have serious doubts about your statistics. Albania as a whole is majority Muslim [https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/...], and Albanian Kosovars are overwhelmingly Muslim [https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/22/world/europe/how-the-saud...]. So it would stand to reason that northern Albania has at least a sizable Muslim population.
I'm just wondering, does your period subscription license also include your "stand-alone" software?
No, not at all. Other economic views are definitely comprehensible to me, however this particular one is mind boggling because me and OP seem to have genuinely incompatible principals and values. "housing should be free" - according to who? What entity is coercing the 'should' in that sentence? What law of nature says that housing should be free? It implies in a society that you have a right to someone else's time and labor. That's amazing! It makes me wonder why the OP thinks that way and what circumstances led them to think that way.
Would containers work better for your use case?
Correction: I wrote redacting when I meant exclusion. My apologies!
Adjustable at a month's notice in Norway. You're free to refinance or change banks whenever you want. But if some crisis forces your bank to increase rates quickly (e.g. due to increased costs for the bonds that support their loan portfolio), you can bet every other bank will be forced to increase rates too.

This happened in 2008, and a disaster was averted only because the government bailed out the banks by allowing them to trade their now-bad commercial bonds for government bonds. It turned out to be a good deal for the government, because commercial bond rates came back down quickly. (No guarantee that this would have happened, just luck).
I want to uninstall chrome, but can't find a good replacement for chrome report desktop. It just works so seamlessly on all devices, including mobile. Any suggestions?
>1. Is it always ok for someone to build a bot to do something which can be legally done by hand?

I'd say no. Technology is a multiplier, and if the same thing that took painstaking work and devoting resources to be done manually can be done automatically, it can be the difference between a democracy and a police state.

(E.g. the police targeting some suspects by tailing them and have some people listen to their conversations, and everybody in the country monitored 24/7).

The kind of crappy arguments usually taken as OK in courts however see this otherwise, as if 1000x automated something is the same as 1x.
Yes, that's correct. The containers feature enables profiles on a per-tab basis. As someone who does a lot of account switching, it's a killer feature for me. I would imagine some users would not really find it necessary.
