I'm a current Candy Japan subscriber and have been for a long time. Looking over some of those they simply seem like a better deal. An average Candy Japan box has 4-5 items in it and you get two per month. That comes to $29/mo for 8-10 items. JapanCrate advertises 15 items at $30/mo. Tokyotreat is 17 items at $31.50/mo. Wowbox is 10-14 for $25/mo or 12-16 for $34.99/mo. Kawaii Box is 8-10 for $20/mo. SushiCandy is 20 items @ $15.99/mo.

To my eyes at least, CandyJapan seems to be the worst option of all of them. I'm afraid that they're simply being out-competed and without some rethinking of their model they will continue to lose subscribers over time. After looking at those competitors just now I will certainly be rethinking my subscription.
That's a damn shame. I'm "pro whatever is cheapest" energy, and theoretically, that should be renewables like solar and wind. In my opinion, subsidies hurt more than help after the R&D phase of deployment. It makes an investment into the technologies complicated and dependent on regulatory climate.
You're looking for the ecumenical creeds, the first list on this page: http://www.reformed.org/documents/index.html

The Athanasian Creed and the Definition of Chalcedon are probably the most relevant, as they deal specifically with Christological questions. The Apostles' and Nicene are valuable, but are too early to have the specifics nailed down just yet. (In historical terms, an Arian or Sabellian would be able to agree with their content without too much equivocation or mental reservation.)
The ability to fill password in Android app. The last time I checked there's no competitors doing this.

I'm hoping the Autofill API in Android Oreo can bring more competition.

You can read their Intellectual Property statements here.

I'm pretty sure that they do. They're parametric speakers, like the 'Soundlazer[1]', that use a very loud ultrasonic carrier and make audible sound from the interference between the beams of ultrasonics.

Even when an parametric speaker is playing 'silence', it is probably blasting 120dB of ultrasound. Soundlazer's faq on Kickstarted mentioned this explicitly: "...you will be hit with 120.5Db of sound pressure that you can't hear! It starts hurting your ears after 10 minutes."

Intel ME is frequently featured here on HN, but the general population is completely clueless.

This is quite possibly the worst and most widespread computing vulnerability that has ever existed, and it's likely that Intel will just maintain the status quo until there's some sort of black swan event.
In the down voter's defence the comment is somewhat trollish. But it's hard to be anything but trollish about the subject.
“I'm insured. They sent me a bill for over $900. For taking a picture, and giving me tylenol and an ace bandage.”

What also happened: You received care at an ER. The time of professionals was used on you and not other patients at that time. You also received a diagnosis and verification that the injury was easily treatable and didnt require much else. What if they came to a different conclusion?

$900 is expensive but you are grossly mischaracterizinf the services you received.

Thanks for this, it makes entertaining reading on a cold winter's day in front of a roaring fire.
It's nice to do that to banks that didn't set their trading prices to avoid arbitrage (did it couple of times myself).

For cryptocoins it's nearly impossible. Because in most cases there's no idea when the actual transfer will be executed (if arbitraging between exchanges).
I'm curious about this too. Bitcoin is now essentially an investment venture, no? What is there to get about making money from bitcoin price going up?
I'm for whatever tools lead to better outcomes (more complete solutions for less cost).

From my experience, however, non-technical decision makers often start from the assumption that the things they want are easy. As such, they tend to be reluctant to invest in new technologies or approaches. In fact, the most common first approach when they become convinced that what they want is actually "big" is to attempt to offshore. In other words, they naively assume that the solution to complexity is more (cheaper) bodies.

So even if a great tool comes along that allows us to meet needs more effectively, it's not guaranteed to be accepted.
The code, tech, and mindset behind LastPass is a joke. They started just after the “dark ages” of security but don’t seem to have upgraded their mental model of security since. I’ll share with you the moment I discovered something that made me cancel my schedule for the day, research alternatives, write a LastPass to 1Password converter [0], and cancel my LastPass account and subscription.

Are you ready?

You log in to their support forums and online community with the same password you decrypt your vault with.

[0]: https://neosmart.net/blog/2017/a-free-lastpass-to-1password-...

EDIT:

To answer some of the comments, since understandably not everyone is a security expert:

What happens if LastPass’s web forum is compromised and all their additional security counts for nothing?

Even if not: you have no problem with people being conditioned to enter the password securing all their passwords repeatedly into random pages for random content not related in any way, shape, or form to their vault in a web browser?

Containment is the name of the game. It’s hard enough making one app secure enough to enter your password into. Then extending that with an SSO, relying on The security of none other than notoriously crappy phpBB, vulnerable to upstream code injections, XSS, phishing attacks, and god knows what else, and you still think you can trust them to keep your master password secure?

LastPass is such a juicy target and this is such an easy attack vector that I can virtually guarantee at some point phpBB - or, more accurately, their abuse of it - will be a massive liability and the source of a huge catastrophe for them, if it hasn’t secretly already.

Of course they know to treat changes to their authentication apps very carefully and code review each and every syllable added or removed (well, I hope so). But do they review upstream patches to the forum software they use? What about the third party template they have installed? Do they hold off on patches after a security bug is discovered in phpBB so they can review the code changes? Do they even upgrade their forums? What about a vulnerability in PHP itself? Do they secure the server hosting their authentication apps in the same manner as the server hosting their forums? Do their web developers undergo the same background checks and scrutiny their core developers undergo? How many sysadmins have access to the website? Do they provide the same access monitoring to people managing an ancillary feature like their forum software?

The list just goes on forever. You’re as secure as the weakest link. All anyone that want to break into LastPass has to do is get some code into phpBB or the random phpBB themes and plugins they use and it’s game over for millions of LP users and billions of credentials worldwide.

See the problem?

I live in a foreign country, and I do pretty easily & regularly with TransferWise, with less fees than Bitcoin (another thread today mentioned $30 fee for $100 tx). Don’t see the value of bitcoin here.

> Buffet hasn’t even invested in digital tech stocks. IMO, even after all the huge respect he deserves, he doesn’t get this technology. Other than that, I don’t doubt that many current “investors” are only FOMO movers

Stop changing the goal posts. Bitcoin is not a tech stock. Originally, proponents called BTC a currency, and now they call it a store of value. That’s what Buffet was commenting on with his analogy.

This gets asked all the time everywhere but I have to ask again, how do you get started?

I've tried a million different apps (even got a Headspace subscription for a while), read Mindfulness in Plain English along with a tonne of other guides on it but it just never seems to click for me.
>Are forward secrecy guarantees made by TLS valid in a post-quantum world?

No, forward secrecy doesn't apply if the underlying public-key cryptography gets broken (such as by a quantum computer).
South Sudan is hardly typical of Africa, though. In 2017, it had the single highest score on the Fragile States Index (formerly called the Failed States Index) of any country in the world.
Ah yes, something that's never existed before. While true in the technological particulars, it's dead wrong economically. There are all sorts of "never seen before" tradable things that show up in the economy. That people think that cryptocurrencies are so different is evidence that Buffet is right, not the economic newbs.

See also the efforts to force "blockchain" into all sorts of round holes where it doesn't fit, such as energy.

Note this article is from The Daily Mail, I would take it with a pinch of salt.
That's true, but in practice most consumers wouldn't notice. That's because the whitelisted services would most likely include those data-hungry services used most frequently by consumers: Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Facebook, etc. which are operated by big providers. This was how Comcast operated in ca. 2013.

The bet is ISPs would be very comfortable throttling traffic, as long as whitelisted services were not affected. (They see this as a revenue generator, because they can sell fast-lane access to companies who don't want their customers' bandwidth throttled.) ISPs that go this route will likely offer a (consumer-paid) option to allow VPN traffic to use the fast lane.
So the moral of the story is don't let people install applications on your Android device? And the bigger moral is: don't hand someone your unlocked Android device and let them play with it for an extended period of time?

Google doesn't need a personality. Seeing it as technology works perfectly especially when it goes wrong. It's easy to say something like, "Alexa is stupid, she can't understand a simple command", but referring to Google as tech, it is much easier to move on to reforming the command. It is also less invasive for me, personally. I'd rather refer to AI in personal terms.

People say Israel withholds Palestinian voting rights in the occupied territories, but that's simply not true since the Oslo Accords. Palestinians aren't Israeli citizens. They can vote in PA elections, and do, when they have elections. Except the PA rarely has elections but that has nothing to do with Israel or the occupation.

Israeli Arabs, like all Israeli citizens, can vote in Israeli elections, and do. Israel is the only place in the Middle East Arabs regularly vote.

This is one of the best books I've found on parenting that actually supports claims with evidence: http://www.parentingwithreason.com/

There's a chapter on media consumption and "Baby Einstein" type media products. They found no real evidence to support that media helps or hurts children, as long as it isn't vulgar or violent and limited to a reasonable amount of time.

But New Orleans/London isn't two smaller cities, it's one smaller city and one major intercontinental hub. Doesn't expecting to have a nonstop flight from London to every city in the world put unsustainable pressure on landing slots in London?
Interestingly, it seems RPC was one of those older ideas that was resurrected and replaced remote message passing when Smalltalk was phased out.

Alan Kay on RPC:
"The people who liked objects as non-data were smaller in number, and included myself, Carl Hewitt, Dave Reed and a few others – pretty much all of this group were from the ARPA community and were involved in one way or another with the design of ARPAnet->Internet in which the basic unit of computation was a whole computer. But just to show how stubbornly an idea can hang on, all through the seventies and eighties, there were many people who tried to get by with “Remote Procedure Call” instead of thinking about objects and messages. Sic transit gloria mundi."

Amazon thanks you for the data points they've been collecting on your children, and for teaching your children to tell Amazon all about themselves before they're even old enough to realize the possible implications of doing so.
While a technically valid criticism, is it really that controversial? Costs are increasing faster than wages at low income levels - which is easy when wages are largely stagnant or declining due to increased competition driven by labor surplus and automation.

A similar one IMO would be Buffer.

> The very next section if the article describes what the police version can do

I understand what it can do. What I care about is what it did do. You might just as well complain about police use of military-style armored vehicles. Did you know they can mount guns on those or even run people over?

The way in which things are used matters. In this case, a tool (effectively a high-tech speaker system) that has both offensive and non-offensive uses was used in what appears to be a non-offensive way as an announcement system, but because the same equipment can be used offensively someone's trying to do what I'll call "crap-stirring" here.

"Crap-stirring" like this reflects badly on both the people doing it (e.g. Muckrock) and the people who fall for it.

> To be fair, all arbitrage is?

You are correct--there is no such thing as "risk free". By convention, we mark our zero point at the risk of sovereign bonds. It is the smallest risk everyone in our economy agrees on a level for. It still contains "risk". But it's a convenient--and practical--reference point.

The analog in Bitcoin would be getting your transaction committed to the blockchain. It's still "risky". (Quantum computers could break the encryption!) But it's a convenient--and practical--zero. (You'll notice the advantage of a currency backed by a debt-like obligation. Interest rates come as a first-class function. There is no "risk free" borrowing rate in Bitcoin.)

Between these zeros, an arbitrage would require, simultaneously, committed transactions on the Bitcoin ledger and immediately-available funds in an FDIC-insured (or analogous, e.g. SIPC) account. That is not something exchange-based trading, which involves depositing U.S. dollars and/or Bitcoins with the exchange in exchange for an IOU, permits.
There is nothing comparable to Bitcoin that previously existed. Gold is perhaps the closest thing.
