Is it possible to pay for a subscription and use a local vault?

I've no problem with the business model, but I'd rather keep the data to myself.

Edit: Answered my own question

> 1Password 7 from the Mac App Store will only support our hosted service, as that’s what you’re purchasing with a 1Password membership. If you install from our website, you’ll have to option to use a standalone vault synced via iCloud if you purchase a standalone license, or use our hosted service if you purchase a 1Password membership.
Recent versions of Firefox have a feature called "Multi-Account Containers" that can be used to isolate websites from others. It can be used with any website, but the interface leaves something to be desired.

Mozilla was good enough to publish an extension called "Facebook Container" that creates default settings for Containers to isolate Facebook from other websites, impeding Facebook's ability to track user activity across the wider internet.
https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/facebook-container-extensio...

Great stuff! Where is the "Google Container" version? (There exists one, but it's not from Mozilla.) Could it be that Mozilla receives most of it's funding from search engines (including but not limited to Google), and even during years when Google isn't the default search engine it's still not in Mozilla's financial interest to burn that bridge? Maybe that's too cynical. Maybe it's too cynical to suggest that huge amounts of money could bias people. Or maybe it's unfair to suggest that being biased by google in this way makes them a "proxy" of google.

Maybe. But the fact remains that Mozilla still isn't promoting a "Google Container" extension to protect users from Google.
Now you can do this on most sites, not only Facebook. Google Adsense has a Customer Match [1] feature that allows you to target ads to the list of emails or phones so it opens new possibilities for digital stalking.

Am I the only one who thinks the advertised pictures on the site look awful? Low focal length, high aperture, no artistic look and feel at all. Why would I want such low quality looking pictures?
With such images it seems to be more a device for scientific purposes than for capturing valuable moments of my life I want to frame and hang in my kitchen.
Or it means she knows she’s never rented a place via Airbnb for the purposes of porn production, but can’t say one way or the other about each and every location she has worked at.

Do you think that Robert Downey Jr. knows the contract details of every location for every movie he’s ever worked on?
Can we stop using the term "fiat" to refer to government-issued money? The important feature of fiat currencies is that they're backed by nothing. The fact that fiat currencies are normally government-issued is incidental. The term exists to contrast them with representative currencies. The same goes for most cryptocurrency: it's not backed by anything and only has value because most people agree it has value. Bitcoin is a kind of fiat currency, or at least it's closer to fiat money than it is to anything else.
Looks awesome. The only drawback i see is it doesn't support iCloud.

Personally i wouldn't want to store my passwords with the same company that creates the (encryption)software.

And i definitely wouldn't self-host (why burden yourself with the management of data-backups/updates/etc. when iCloud is available for free...)

opvault file access has open source tools. It would suck if they changed out from under me in the future (1password is the best password manager and it’s really not even close) but my passwords are at least accessible.
Not a company, but I've found Nextcloud to be a better alternative to Dropbox, Google Drive, etc for personal use. I don't think Google even got around to putting out a Linux client. The straw that broke the camel's back with Dropbox was when I accidentally unzipped the MNIST dataset in a watched folder and the Dropbox sync client completely shit the bed. I couldn't even fix it through the web interface since their site is such a mess.
My password is a passphrase though. But you don't get autocorrect or swype functionality for typing passwords, understandably, so typing it is not easy (harder even because it grows in length for it's lower entropy per length).
97% by their last financial report.
Which is consistent both with my proposal, (considering population), and would allow create boundaries very different from the little islands rules - so you seem to be "agreeing with vehemence" here, not disagreeing.
It seems on-board amenities exactly what's being talked about (and, yes, arguably over-simplified) here.

Or are you making a distinction between luxuries and basic living conditions (space, privacy, quality/healthfulness of food)? For some people, no level of internet access would make hot-bunking tolerable.
C compilation units have a static section which isn't exposed to the outside world (i.e. other compilation units): https://www.codingfriends.com/index.php/2010/07/13/static-in...
Not yet because it's not even in effect until May 25th. Then enforcement can begin. But yes, in the legal industry we expect it to be very uneven enforcement. The German regulator may be more worked up than the Spanish one, for example. And again, it's going to be low hanging fruit. Why would a regulator bring an enforcement action against some solo practitioner making $100k a year to maybe get $4k in fines when they can go after Facebook?
> In the US "fake news" just used to be the "yellow press"

but nobody doubted that the yellow press existed, and that's the important difference. People knew that they were reading tabloid bs when they opened a paper like this, the authoritative function of trusted news outlets wasn't undermined.

Social media disguises itself as authentic. People who influence on social media can do so by pretending to be your neighbour who shares real-life experiences rather than the 'distanced elites'. Regardless of whether they are saying the truth or not.

That's the difference and it has had a much bigger impact on undermining a shared consensus about what is fiction and what is real than the historical yellow press.
Yes it is. The new release even brings local vault to Windows.
Even if you're running everything else serverless and have no compute time at all?

I know a VOD training service runs serverless with videos on S3 and they're very successful.
I don't understand what you're saying. Surely the fact that a new license was needed to make sure an implied patent grant exists means that the normal BSD license includes a patent grant. That much is stated in the link I shared:

"The BSD license normally includes an implied patent license."

It couldn't be clearer. You can disagree with him but that's what's being said and is apparently a consensus among open source lawyers.
> On the other hand, they've made me care more about counterfeit goods.

This is the one that's starting to really surprise me. You generally expect there to be counterfeit versions of items that are expensive or easy to replicate, but I've now received counterfeit:

* Burts Bees face wipes

* 3M command strips

* Curad alcohol prep pads

... and quite a few others. The alcohol prep pads were the most unexpected, but also the easiest to spot because I buy them all the time at Costco and other stores.
Jesus! That can't be right, can it? If so, those lenders deserve a special place in Hell.
I feel slightly guilty for submitting this. It’s the first time I hear about the term doxing. I certainly didn’t want to expose anyone but found the story itself extremely interesting. I think it would have been just as interesting if it were posted with <name redacted>. Apologies if this is considered bad taste to post.
I don't think it goes into effect until May 25th.
Yep, always funny when protesters think they are somehow rebelling against the interests of power. Protest is primarily an expression of power. Once I understood this things made a lot more sense.

The authentic protest is almost always met with violence, either directly from the state or with the state allowing or aiding in its administration.

I think, at its core, the message of the state sanctioned protest/counter-protest is essentially "these people can be unleashed on you and you will have no recourse".
Sometimes. My impression is that sometimes they're mostly funded by Yahoo instead, and other times perhaps Bing. But one way or the other they're always getting most of their money from one of the major search engines. So even when they have a contract with Yahoo, they have a financial interest in staying cozy with Google because when their contract with Yahoo expires they're going to take offers from both Yahoo and Google and, even if they ultimately decide to sign another contract with Yahoo, the offer they get from Yahoo will doubtlessly be competitive with whatever offer they receive from Google.
120 short documentary films made by the British Council during the 1940s
Well, it's true. Sorry if it doesn't help you, but the regulation was announced almost two years ago. Even some Fortune 1000 companies are way behind on preparing for this.
Wow - thank you! That video should get to 200K views by the end of the year - fingers crossed. Not as many as other Numberphile videos, but pretty good. It was disappointing that it got basically zero reaction here on HN, but <fx: shrug />

I might submit it again ... it has been eight months.
Thanks... another thing I wonder is if this has implications in electronic crime detection. If the data can be irretrievable soon after a deletion request has been made doesn’t that make crimes harder to investigate after the fact? I haven’t done any real research on this so maybe it’s been addressed in the law.
That's seems the easiest to solve, just put lights on the bike. There are already many products for this, some of them very visible.
"The British Council Film Collection is an archive of 120 short documentary films made by the British Council during the 1940s designed to show the world how Britain lived, worked and played. Preserved by the BFI National Film Archive and digitised by means of a generous donation by Google, the films are now yours to view, to download and to play with for the first time.

"The British Council is the UK’s cultural relations organisation working to create international opportunities for the people of the UK and other countries and building trust between them. During the 1940s, British Council was a very different organisation operating in a very different political and social climate. As part of its programme then it was concerned to promote an idea of ‘Britain and Britishness’ – and did so by becoming an enthusiastic commissioner of documentary films. Over 120 films were produced as 'cultural propaganda' to counteract anything the Nazis might throw out and to refute the idea that ours was a country stuck in the past. These films were designed to showcase Britain to the rest of the world, at a time when Britain itself was under attack.

"Seen by millions of people in over 100 countries worldwide from the 1940's to 1960's, they present an historic snapshot of Britain, portraying its industry, its landscapes, and its people. The Collection is fantastically varied, covering anything from how a bicycle is made, to how the British spend their Saturdays. They provide us with a unique insight - not necessarily into how Britain actually was, but more into how Britain once wanted to be perceived by the rest of the world."

The author does eventually define DSL, but it's pretty confusing until then.

I believe there's currently no public information about that. They didn't get search engine payments from Google for several years, but with them replacing Yahoo with Google for US customers again it seems likely there's a new contract (although there were reports that the Yahoo contract had clauses that force Yahoo to continue paying them until 2019, so it's possible they just use that money right now)
As always, it's a range.

Go has a runtime which you cannot control which schedules your code when it feels like it and a garbage collector. Rust has neither.

Sure, Go isn't parsing and interpreting its files at runtime. But neither does Python, so I'm not sure that's a meaningful line to draw.
This is exactly true. I think part of the issue is that many people worried about this don't have a history and seat of the pants feel for how things like this roll out. The 'tech brain' deals in preciseness but business (and life) is about nuance and typically more practical in terms of what happens, when and to whom.

Not even close. In 2010, there were about 130 million published paper books.[1] In 2012, there were only 1.3 million Amazon Kindle books available.[2] Note that availability is region-based, so no, those books may not actually be available. Google ebook store launched in 2010 with only 3 million titles.[3] A lot of the Kindle "books" are not even books, they are pamphlets or long articles. Library genesis is only 2.1 million books.

I can tell you don't actually read any ebooks. If you did, you would notice that about a third of the digitized Kindle books have the same review: "the formatting of the book is unreadable, I want my money back."

when utility or productivity tools are offered at a fairly steep price point as 1password was people usually have a reasonable expectation to receive long-term upgrades.

It's not ridiculous at all because it generally is the norm.

I wonder what you would consider long.
If remote services were an add-on, and nonpayment left your clients still able to use the program, I see no issue. That's not what happens. You're locked out of all your stuff on nonpayment for the "subscription".

This trend of subscription-ifying is horrifying. It's turning users into digital sharecroppers, for a guaranteed line of money. And 'easy-to-import, hard-to-export' is the modus operandi for these companies.

Sure, I'll take the karma hit. I already have with the prior post here. Evidently, people seem on the most part OK with allowing their personal data be trapped behind subscription paywalls... Well, they're OK with it until they're not.

EDIT: Lets make this crystal-clear what my complaint is:

> 1Password 7 from the Mac App Store will only support our hosted service, as that’s what you’re purchasing with a 1Password membership. If you install from our website, you’ll have to option to use a standalone vault synced via iCloud if you purchase a standalone license, or use our hosted service if you purchase a 1Password membership.

Long story short, they hold your data hostage for the "New and Improved Business Plan".
I suspect there's still a lot of FUD regarding public cloud as well as on-prem admins and engineers actively pushing back for fear of losing their jobs. (I've seen this in action)

There certainly are legitimate reasons not to move to public cloud, but it shouldn't be an emotional one.

Measure cost (including manpower), SLA's, performance, governance, and compliance. After that it should be simple to stay on-prem, go hybrid, or move full force into public cloud.

I think a more complex problem is that many companies have legacy web applications that probably should be rebuilt cloud-native/serverless. Doing a lift and shift can be cost-effective, but decomposing these applications and rebuilding them in serverless would probably provide significant savings.
1Password for Mac and iOS worked flawlessly. But I recently migrated to Windows and installed 1Password 6 for Windows. It's just bad software. It's not responsive (I'm pressing "Save" and it works for a second or two, while I'm expecting it to respond instantly), it has some obvious UI bugs, but worse of all, it crashes very often, I don't remember a single program that crashes so much. It just feels very unpolished. I'm waiting for 7-th version to try it.

I thought about BitWarden but I don't really like its technologies. It uses .NET for server which is not very native for Linux. It uses JavaScript for client which I don't like at all. I wish it used something like Go or Java for server and .NET for client.

So far my primary candidate to switch is KeePass. I don't like it a lot, but at least it works and it's reliable.
You keep saying "when the system fails, I’d prefer it fail in the direction of Nazis". That statement is not much different from "When cancer strikes, I’d prefer it strike one of the Nazis."

Neither cancer nor the US judicial system's unfairness discriminate towards Nazis. Your sentiment, "when the system fails, I’d prefer it fail in the direction of Nazis", goes nowhere because when the system fails, it does not look for Nazis to fail in the direction of. There's just no connection between the two parts of your statement.
I think you've nearly defined "law" out of existence? Law doesn't work like math or computer code. It's always subject to interpretation and lawyers will generally give you advice about what to expect based on experience, not guarantees.

There are some areas more settled than others, but this is a continuum, not a crisp boundary.
Why do law firms believe GDPR is a legal issue? Privacy and Security have not been an entirely legal issue, though legal representation is often in the mix when dealing with regulations. I'm curious why GDPR continues to be treated as a legal problem when the regulation is more than clear on its intent and requirements?
"Why would a regulator bring an enforcement action against some solo practitioner making $100k a year to maybe get $4k in fines when they can go after Facebook?"

Because the little guy won't put up much resistance?

I think GDPR is a good thing BTW.

Ask HN: What precautions should I take when working with “unsafe” content
I am working on a startup that identifies unsafe content and this includes crawling some major media sites to identify types of pornography, hate speech etc. I am concerned, t his would draw in some dangerous content such as child porn. What legal protections do I take to protect myself from inadvertently getting CP onto our servers? should I file with the FBI etc?
I don't see what is the problem to delete user's messages at their request. Just replace its text with "message deleted" for example. It doesn't require anything advanced.

It seems that your co-founder just doesn't like GDPR and users' rights. It is a political, not a technical problem.

If someone will post something that violates US laws (for example, terrorism-related content or child porn), will you refuse to delete it too?

> 1) going after low hanging fruit first (Facebook, Google, Apple, etc)

I say as a strategy they don't go after those but the middle tier who is less able to put up a fight legally. Perhaps you remember how long it took the Justice Department to fight Microsoft in the 90's. These large corporations have a great deal of brains and legal muscle. It's hard to believe that they will be the initial targets (although anything is possible). The 2nd tier is more likely the ones that will have issues (if any). Most companies aren't even close to this they are probably 7 or 10th tier targets. Some (small company with nominal user base) aren't even going to get noticed. That's the reality. Powerful law firms. Connected people. Even access to powerful US politicians. What's the chance? (Look at what is happening with ZTE now in China). To big to fail. This is not Monsanto dumping chemicals or asbestos type harm anyway.

It's like spam (but not because major companies are not abusing that typically). You can do what you want as long as you are not operating an industrial strength spam machine. The emails that you send to your customers for whatever reason w/o even explicit approval will not get you into hot water (sure anything is possible but highly unlikely).
A simpler explanation: Those countries didn't get aid through the Marshall Plan after WW2:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan

Additionally, some of them entered the EU much later compared to other countries, so they haven't received EU's "free" aid for as long as the others, either.

Look how much this type of aid/investment has helped South Korea.

I wonder if it's so much better than for example Bitwarden for families, which is $1/month. (https://bitwarden.com )

Also, the switch to the "1password cloud", instead of the already freely available iCloud/Google Cloud/Dropbox etc, just seems like a move to make people believe their expensive subscription are justified.
There was absolutely no demand for a "1password cloud".

This entire push to subscription-hell makes me sick...
