This is a war the Palestinians cannot win conventionally, so it is heavily waged through the court of public opinion. Hamas’s bread and butter is exploiting tragedies for propaganda wins, which is why they fire rockets from schools and hospitals.

The Israelis for their part have strict engagement protocols, although the cynic in me believes avoiding PR issues is at least as big of a factor as avoiding loss of life. From that realpolitik standpoint, they screwed up here.

The fact of the matter is - if you are part of violent protests, even if you are just sitting and waving a flag, you’re taking a risk.

The fact that the propaganda machine is now spinning is business as usual, sadly. And gets neither side closer to a resolution.
I was actually surprised that 1password never implemented in-app password fill using accessibility API.
Plenty of companies if you don't limit yourself to "startups".

For instance, my company (I'm the Director of Technology) is like that (just listened to DHH's interview on Ruby Rogues this morning, so many of these are fresh in my mind):

1) Pay talent fairly

2) Customers are more important than technology

3) Small team

4) Reasonable hours

5) Tight focus

6) Trust your talent

7) Remote friendly (people think this first when they think Basecamp, but I think that's just one piece of the culture)

(And since it will be asked: No, we're not currently "hiring", but always interested in conversations if you reach out to me)
An Introduction to the BPF Compiler Collection
His logic is very clear, and makes a lot of sense. The problem with it is that despite gold being a bad investment, its value is STILL $9.6 trillion. It has value because it is effectively deflationary, and can be used as a risk-management tool that works better than cash, allowing you to avoid inflation.

Buffet knows this, and I even recall that he bought a sizeable amount of silver a while back. I assume he also bought gold before too. He doesn't put the bulk of his assets in it. Most people don't. That's why Gold is only about 3% of the world's wealth.

Cryptocurrency's value is $600 billion, and by many arguments works better than gold for this purpose. This suggests to me that it would replace gold, making it potentially a good investment (even now). Once it replaces gold, it then only becomes a good hedge, and no longer a long-term investment.
Does make it more vulnerable to things like keylogging - electronic managers skip typing completely. Also it makes people create simpler passwords than they would if it was electronic and becomes pretty unmanageable with a large amount of passwords.

I'm not saying it's the wrong way to go but if electronic password managers "never made sense" then I feel like you don't have the entire picture.

Why the Monolith Will Forever Reign Supreme
If it is asymmetric, the superficially apparent mutual gain may be illusory, because—while many people think for moral or aesthetic reasons that this should not be the case—there is enormous empirical evidence that the actual experience of utility related to material position is very strongly driven by relative material position, which is often far more significant than absolute material position.
I think it's just a consequence of the fact that having money enables the acquisition of more money. It explains the long tail in wealth distribution.

Chondrite meteorites are stony, that is, non-metallic. I don't think they would be considered 'meteoric iron'.
I'm not saying that's the problem, I'm just suggesting that you have to have a lot of faith in a company to trust it with all of your passwords, especially when there's only a handful of eyes on its source code.

It's not for me, personally.

And yes, because the scariest aspect of password managers is the fact that you have basically shifted the responsibility of "I use the same password everywhere" to a different party.
One thing to note. While biogenic and thus "green", the methane is about 30 times as potent greenhouse gas (over 100 years), so we can not consider pure "carbon footprint" here. There are similar problems with restoring wetlands and undraining peatlands, which used to be carbon sinks, where biogenic methane production goes up for a while.

There are also problems with N2O emissions on the reservoirs, specially near the agricultural regions. And this is all without even talking about reducing biodiversity and destroying spawning areas for the fish by filling those with mud. So yes, efficiency is not always friendly.
I have three machines that run OpenSuse, my desktop and two laptops (well, one laptop and one very low-end IdeaPad).

On my desktop, I run into the same problem as you; I think my system partition is just a little small. On the laptops, I have not had any trouble with snapshots.

I do like the idea, though - if an update breaks anything, just roll back to the last working state. Windows did this 15 years ago, it was about time Linux distros started catching up.
The same reason people bought smartphones that literally did nothing their laptop couldn't do. Ease of use.

I can turn on my entertainment system or turn off my lights with my phone, but its a lot easier to just say it, versus getting my phone out of my pocket, turning it on, finding the app, launching the app, going to the screen to turn on the thingie, and then pressing the right button.
[Infographic] 2018 ECommerce Checklist to Get Ready for the New Year
The only drawback to that is the difficulty of logging in while out of the house (I understand making priority accounts “on site access only” but what about others?) and the fact that you’re deincentivized from making more secure passwords because (even if only subconsciously) you’re going to have to type in all those characters and symbols each time you want to log in.

I think the biggest security failure is session cookies that expire too quickly or too eagerly. Having people need to enter their password so often is more dangerous than keeping them logged in (from the same IP) for a longer period of time.

If my bank would keep me authorized for basic access (review transactions, pay bills, transfer money between own accounts) without logging in each time, but required a password to add a payee or make changes to the account, I’d keep the password in a journal in a safe.
Check out GitLab. I don't know how similar their culture actually is to Basecamp, but they seem to put a lot of importance on doing everything possible in the open, so you really get what seems like a good sense of what they are about from reading job postings, their public ops runbooks, mission statements, etc...

In no small part due to that, they are one of the very few companies that I would actively like to work for and frequently check job postings. Unfortunately production ruby experience is a hard requirement for them now, and I've always been in .net/c# + nodejs at work, and my side projects have always been java, node, and python. When I start looking for a new job, the opportunity to get some production Ruby experience somewhere is going to be in the back of my mind as a benefit, just so the door to a job at GitLab might be open in the future.

I haven't read it but the methodology of the study involved is available here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3bg_SJKE9GOenpaekZ4eXRBWk0...

Seems to be based on sentiment analysis of about 900k tweets. From skimming:

> Five percent of all tweets mentioning Diane Abbott, @HackneyAbbott, are classified as abusive (8121 out of 140057).
That also sounds a lot like DCOM and CORBA. Synchronous rather than async, I know, but making the network transparent is usually not a great idea; networks are so unlike method calls that reliability, performance, throughput, any metric you like will be far, far worse without extreme vigilance.
The richest have gotten richer

To be exact, it seems to be saying that the richest 500 are x% richer at the end of the year, not that the 500 richest at the beginning of the year are %x richer at the end of it. These are two different things because they are two different sets of people.

In decades past the richest and the poorest people don't remain in that part of the income distribution very long; this is especially true in the US.

I disagree, it has very much been on the ball regarding its investigative reporting this year. The editorials have been the same constant stream of hysterics you see everywhere else, but they've broken some fantastic articles regarding disinformation campaigns with hard fact-based reporting.

I'd actually encourage yipopov to do that, and I hope it doesn't get flagged and some interesting discussion arises from it... Sam Altman very recently posted about being more comfortable discussing controversial ideas such as this one!

Hey, if you can't beat them, join them (for values of join that include paying their startlingly effective mercenary army more money to switch sides and work for you instead).
It's not even controversial, it's wrong. Poverty, particularly extreme poverty, has been decreasing rapidly over the past 25 years.

Of course, this doesn't mean that everyone is better; there are always winners and some losers, and there are setbacks here and there, but the big picture is one of great progress.

For more, one should read the Human Development Reports:

http://hdr.undp.org/sites/default/files/2016_human_developme...
Before the interest rates crashed, many people put most of their money into saving accounts that paid more interest than inflation. They probably thought of this more as saving than investing, but what many people are looking for is a store of value that wont go down and pays a bit of interest. Historically getting 3% on very secure, gold denominated debt was the norm.

Savers don't necessarily want to be investors. Most people don't have the combination of time, interest, temperament, and intelligence to invest well. You used to be able to just buy US bonds or longer term CDs and do OK, but this is no longer the case. Now the savers are encouraged to buy broad market index funds using a time averaged purchase method and never sell the dips (or buy extra during the booms). This just does not sit well for moderately risk adverse people (and this risk aversion is also a trait that makes them want to have savings).

I think the smart money knows that a combination of factors has put the dollar in a less sound footing than in the past (rise of China, $20 trillion US debt, US baby boomer pension, social security, and medicaid obligations, decline in the dollar denominated global oil market, etc) and no long want to hold US dollar based assets (US bonds, US cash, US corp debt, etc). In fact you see a lot of the rich piling up US dollar debt against their assets.

Regular people are now also feeling the fiat currencies are no longer a good store of value, still want to save, but don't want to be investors. So what to save? Copper ingots? Bushels of wheat? Barrels of oil? Bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency could be it. Maybe a few of them could be, but for now they look like a crazy frenzy of Ponzi schemes. The regular public is getting sucked in with many stories of 10x in a year returns and are not familiar with previous 80% crashes. If a a single cryptocurrency does become the default store of value for the masses of conservative savers then another 100x from current price levels is not unreasonable. Bitcoin seems the most likely candidate at the moment.
I think the threat from keyloggers is not as severe as the threat from clipboard scrapers. Apple and Google absolutely need to make a secure password transport mechanism to allow one app to fill a field in a web browser or field in another app that does not rely on the clipboard because even just expiring it after n seconds is not secure enough.
"Spiritual but not religious"

Maybe you missed my point?

I'm kind of saying spirituality is easy, less practical part. :)

The 'work' of spirituality is hard. It's often done through religion.

Crazy point: those who 'religious and attend services' are least likely to commit crimes, but those who are 'spiritual but not religious' commit the most! Sorry no reference. Point being, we are creatures of habit, and action speaks louder than words.

I guess there is a lot of theological debate about whether or not it's more important to 'have faith' which is a matter of spirituality, or to 'go to church and be a good person' ...

Wind energy seems to be actually one of the most economically viable platforms for alternative energy, and beats even some traditional sources even without subsidies, according to this study by the financial services firm Lazard: https://www.lazard.com/media/450337/lazard-levelized-cost-of...

Wind energy is not viable everywhere, but in places with no NIMBY concerns, lots of rural land, and lots of wind, wind energy is perfect. Much of the US plains (especially the closer you get to the Rockies) fits this category for instance. Iowa, not exactly a mecca of environmentalism, is 35% powered by wind now; this is estimated to rise to 40% by 2020. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_Iowa)

LastPass produces two apps, the Password Manager and this Authenticator App, which looks like a 2FA competitor to Google Authenticator.

The bug the article is detailing is in the Authenticator application, not the Password Manager application, which wasn't very clear to me on my first read.
All the BSD systems[1] have had binary packages (at least optionally) for a while now. On OpenBSD, while the ports tree is still there when needed, the recommended way is to use binary packages.

You'd be surprised how many people (not on HN) use extremely weak (or no) unlocking mechanisms for their devices. It overlaps with the set of folks who would want to use LastPass because of how easy it is.
Dataflow programming is IMO a much better analogy for that.

I don't think most of the young investors these days are participating in a new economy. They are just trading Bitcoin as commodity on exchanges. In which case if they don't get it and Warren does, that's a problem for them.
This! When a company comes along that can pull off a 1/1 mapping of an electronic token to a given currency and build out the trust less blockchain like infrastructure that allows for transactions at little to no cost that company will have value.

So if any kind of religious or secular authority bans something, everyone from that country has to abide by that or be a "hypocrite?" Sorry, but that's illogical. Back in the day, holding inclusive events in the face of societal prejudice was an act of defiance. In the real world, progress is made by chipping away, not by grand gestures with emotional background music, followed by "The End." If you want to show that a group is being disadvantaged unfairly, then meritocratic competitions are what you want! Some women might find that participation in such action is worth wearing an abaya. Some might not. It's for them to choose, and calling one choice hypocritical strikes me as a bit reductive.
Now I'm confused. It says it in the title? Where might the confusion stem from?

Robust Soldier Crab Ball Gate (2011) [pdf]
This feels like an especially relevant conversation to have during the holidays, when many folks will be out of the office, so the number of meetings happening will be way down.

I've consistently observed over the past few years that whenever a bunch of frequent-meeting-schedulers are simultaneously out of the office... everything is fine. Nothing bad happens. Team members coordinate with each other fine. Cross-team coordination happens fine. There are still meetings, but the ones that happen tend to be the ones that are actually important and needed. The fluff meetings that have way too many participants get cancelled because too many folks are out, and it becomes more obvious than ever that those meetings were never valuable in the first place.

My productivity (as half-manager-half-programmer) goes way up. My stress and frustration go down because I'm not giving the same status report to the same set of people three times.

I'm not against meetings in general, whether they be 1-1s or large group meetings. I think meetings are fundamental to many organizations. But I do think that almost every workplace has too many meetings that last too long on average and have too many participants on average.

"Meeting culture" tends to act like a virus that infects various parts of the organization. Pure managers get addicted to scheduling and running meetings, because it's the most concrete way they can exercise their authority and appear productive, even if it's not actually productive or helpful to the organization.
Here, let me try:

In my humble opinion, at today's PE ratio of 43.57, stock price of Coke is completely detached from "the actual cash flow of the business" and is also FOMO and good mostly for speculation. In fact, people are complaining that value is near impossible to find in the current market. Anyone who enters KO at 43.57 (let's say you're just got some money to invest) is risking a ton more than Buffet.

"investors pounced on fixer-uppers" is also not a very compelling example by the author, where i live (bay area) investors wiped out all fixer-uppers 6 years ago already and are now bidding in the millions for what looks like dog sheds.

Bitcoin is detached from fundamentals and should drop to 0? Maybe. Is Coke justified at 43 PE and not 14? Who knows? Of course, anyone who entered it years ago at <20 may not really care.
Actually, it's especially false in the US, because social mobility is so poor for such a "free" state.
Do I think it's likely that at least certain other animals have a subjective conscious experience? Yes.

But until we understand why certain processing involves that subjective experience, and thus why other brain processing (as far as we know) does not (for a lot of our own brain processing seems to not involve it), we don't have strong evidence as to what other creatures have a subjective conscious experience and which do not. Though it seems likely, we don't definitely know there are other animals that have a subjective experience.
I think the real fact here is that whatever Israel does, no matter how wicked and evil or what the evidence shows, you get downvoted to oblivion for stating the facts because they speak against the actions of Israel.
