It's worth noting WF did this before the Amazon purchase. Timing wise people tried to blame it on Amazon, but they really had nothing to do with it.
Costco doesn't do this as far as I'm aware. I think their only profit comes from their membership fees, they intend to break even on everything else.

That doesn't mean they are always the cheapest option, but they aren't messing with prices to gain customers and then making a profit, since they aren't pricing things to make a profit in the first place.
I have seen octopuses, octopi and octopodes, but never “octopoda.” I think any one of the first three would have been more correct than the last :)

EDIT: I’m the dunce, turns out octopoda is the scientific name. TIL! Guess I was thrown off by the plural “aliens.”
I've been an early adopter and really they are coming in leaps and bounds. The only complaint I have is that integration with iOS apps is very very spotty, but I believe that's an issue with Apple muscling 3rd-parties away from that field (and to a certain degree, an issue with developers not following best practices in their apps).
I saw all that but it looks like you've got to pay a monthly fee for full access for their cloud storage. Not sure its worth the hassle of migrating to in this case.
So you want perpetual free updates? I think your expectations might be a tad unrealistic.
They are building all this on very weak foundations. The assumption is that all these services built on top of crypto currencies will somehow be more efficient than existing systems.

They are not. It takes more time and electricity to confirm a BTC transaction, therefore it's slower and more costly.

Those shaky foundations mean that the actual winners may be other fintech companies like Revolut, Stripe or TransferWise who are not distracted as much by the whole crypto mania.
I'm not sure what your criteria are but I've been using LastPass (Enterprise) with 2FA (Yubikey) for a couple years now. Aside from the Yubikey, the key benefit is I can share a folder with someone using the free version.

It's not cheap but it works and afaik it's secure (esp with the Yubi).

The increment is too close to the noise level, so to reach any conclusion it's probably better to wait until there is better study with a clear result. IANAMD.

> ADAS-cog results run on a scale from 0 to 70, with higher scores suggesting greater impairment. The usual-care group had an average score of 23.8, compared with 25.2 for the exercise group (adjusted estimate -1.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] -2.6 to -0.2).

They have to repeat the study with more patients to be able to reduce the error estimation in the average. (Or run study for a longer time so the increment or decrement effect accumulates and it's easier to measure.) But if the first study had no interesting result it may be more difficult to get the foundlings for another similar study.

Also not a GDPR expert, but I disagree about the applicability of Art. 17 GDPR.

What I have learnt about GDPR so far is that as long as you can argue the data is necessary and you get consent you are probably good to go. For the kind of service you are providing the messages are still necessary.

I wouldn't rely on the fact that messages are or are not personally identifiable information. This is in my opinion just too risky and unnecessary.

Again I'm not a lawyer and not a GDPR expert but you should talk to both. It's likely that your company needs a data security officer anyway and they should be the GDPR expert for you to consult in these matters.

The AMD chips in question are also being sold into the server market, packaged as four dies per socket. Server product cycles and validation cycles are slow. HP and Dell and several ODMs are selling servers with AMD EPYC CPUs, they can be rented on Microsoft Azure, they're being deployed by Baidu. They're having about as much impact as could be expected from a CPU platform that's less than a year old.
In an effort to make a smart witty comment you completely missed my point. I said my keyboard doesn't have manure on it, not any kind of fecal matter.

I at least partly blame Apple and the MAS being such piece of shit for accelerating some of the sub trends we're seeing on the Mac now. It's really such a genuine shame, because in principle the MAS really could be an excellent idea, a way to unify and simplify a pain point of Mac use and boost security at a few levels without a need to alienate anyone or not support anything. Instead Apple had to make it an artificially pointlessly limited collection of tradeoffs and mediocrity.

In particular AgileBits is right about the missing upgrade pricing system really being a bummer. To this day Apple's decision to remove that remains one of the most perplexing decisions of anything they did with the MAS (or iOS App Store for that matter). The basic idea of paying just for marginal value added since original purchase whereas new purchasers are paying for the whole package from zero is an efficient, sensible and sustainable one that has supported the software industry well since the very beginning. Ongoing support of software costs money, particularly when Apple has made it another principle of theirs to be aggressive about pushing the platform forward vs backwards compatibility. No upgrades (or volume discounts or anything else) is still such a mind blowingly stupid decision in every respect. It's forced developers to make some tough choices unnecessarily, and IAP and subs are one way to go at it.
> If you look back at the history of the lottery, it started out as black market, unregulated gambling that led to violence and other crime as the people running the often-fixed games fought over the right to fleece people.

I think a game (quoting Powerball here) where your odds are 1:292,201,338 is by definition a fleece. All that happened here is the state is reserving that right for itself, justifying it as taxing a vice. This is a common theme -- look at cigarettes and alcohol -- but in basically every case it's lower income people who are shelling out.

> The modern, state-run lotteries just provide an outlet for gambling that would happen anyways.

This is a common policy argument (see cigarettes/alcohol above or legalizing drugs), but does this even make sense? White collar crime is pretty rampant, so what if we legalize it and make an embezzling tax? Or human trafficking is a persistent scourge, what if we legalize it and tax it?

Furthermore, these vice taxes are regressive flat taxes. If we start legalizing things and replacing the criminality with a tax, really that only opens it up to people with means. It's still ruinous for lower income people to engage with it. Which is -- you probably won't be surprised to hear -- another reason the lottery preys on lower income people.

I think we should just admit that this stuff is discriminatory -- a lot on class but at least a little on race.
Is this supposed to be a rebuttal to something or do you actually need help finding it?
The node sizes listed aren't consistent. There's no standard, so 10nm for Intel isn't 10nm for TSMC. It doesn't mean that the transistors are 10nm,just the smallest feature. Since everyone measures this differently, it's effectively just a marketing number.
Target user will also be my wife who would really love a super user friendly app. Figure it'd be a good test of my design skills also. I've really only made enterprise stuff in the past where good UI was not really paramount, as long as it was usable. Would love to get better at that too. So this is really just an exercise in my mind at the moment, nothing more.
Have you tried ledger-cli for budgeting?
While I agree with smaller and less choice, WF is the same or cheaper than other local decent grocery stores for food staples like produce, meat, cheese, even beer and wine. It doesn't compete with Walmart price wise, but the perishables at Walmart are always terrible.

They needed to rewrite their Windows version from scratch multiple times and their first major release from this rewrite marathon was 1 Password 6 which had no support for local vaults.

This looked like a clear deprecation of their local vault support but their Mac and Android versions never dropped support for those. I don't know if AgileBits ever planned to drop that from the other versions but after some vocal feedback from their users they stated that local vaults will remain.

The upcoming 1 Password 7 is the first release after the rewrite to support local vaults again on Windows. (BTW, their previous Version 4 for Windows with local vaults was still supported during the 1 Password 6 timeline. Afair, they stopped to sell stand alone licences for those after a while.)
Its Greek, right? That sounds like octopuses should be the normal plural.

Anyway, octopoda is the biological classification order that the octopus belongs to. So its a little iffy if the 'might be' is appropriate. Maybe "Octopoda are Aliens" would work better? Or "Octopoda is alien"?
As a current college student just finishing up my third year at a public state school in my home town (5k per semester), I feel sympathy for her. When I was first choosing schools it was between the easy-to-pay-for public schools or the somewhat-prestigious private schools. The sales pitches for these private schools seeps deep into the minds of high school parents. It’s hard to avoid choosing the private school when you think it will give you better connections, better education, better experience, etc. Really you’re making this decision when you’re in junior year of high school applying to universities.

I had friends who went the private school route and honestly I felt jealous that first year or so. As time went on of course I felt better as all my fears of public school being worse than private were simply over exaggerated. And now I am so relieved I was pushed in this direction by my parents. I can’t imagine the financial position I would be in if they weren’t as frank as they were back when I was deciding schools.

If there’s one big takeaway from this piece it’s that even though we are told we’re adults when we’re 18, there is definitely a wide range of maturity levels you can fall into at that age, and if you haven’t matured or gained financial experience by that age, you could easily screw yourself for the next 40 years or so just by being naive.
Hands on with the FPGA'd Arduino at Maker Faire
Right, I believe that jives with my point about how this philosophy of app deployment doesn't make for a good long-term business. I guess their line of thinking is the same as mine, but they come to a different conclusion because they have long-term concerns to think about.
Absurdism for the truly existential stuff.

For the more practical matters understand that a bunch of people before you shaped how you live - and you will do the same to others. Whether thats negatively or positively, because you were active or passive. The engineer in you can look at the "wage-slave til' you die of cancer" problem and take it from there.

PS the lack of meaning and transient life isn't a bad thing - its the ultimate freedom! Go figure out some shit to pass the time, if you can try and make it fun/beneficial for the rest of us..
> When she had $67000 she decided to take another $24000 loan? With a variable interest rate? In the year 2010, 2 years after the financial crisis of 2008 she didn't understand how a variable interest rate was disastrous?

They're students... of course they don't? Lots of adults don't even understand things like this.

And I don't see how you're arguing for public universities as if they're the obvious, common sense solution, when private universities are an extremely popular option (and really, more often the 'default' for a lot of people).

How did they go to college before they were making the decisions about taking a loan in order to go to college?
Thing is that my wife is also a target user, and she does not have an inclination to use a command line-based app.
I moved from GnuCash to hledger. And while I did use both for the 26 bills a year I write as a contractor, I also had all my personal finance in both. Expenses are more like 12 or 4 (the big ones) a month and control was really necessary.

What you'll like about hledger and legerCLI is a) the undo function of your favourite text editor and b) separate files that you can include into a master c) awesome reports on the terminal.
Not any more. I can access keychain passwords in Chrome on iOS.
Ha, I've started a budget tracking (more like forcasting) app two weeks ago. Rails and mongodb and will be a subscription app.

Have a look at hledger and ledgerCLI, the former has a lot of its functions in an API and you could thinker about using that as a base for a nice UI in something that is not haskell.
This looks perfect for a project I'm working on which is a UNIX / Linux $SHELL that makes heavy use of JSON pipelining.
You are missing the point of how strongly people in US still believe that you can achieve the American Dream if you choose whatever field, just work hard and are good to your job. Most Americans are not consciously aware of the class system that exists in contrast to most Europeans and other foreigners. There is also a disproportionately higher percentage of people that seek true satisfaction from their jobs (live to work) than seeing it as a job (work to live). It is not even PC to say that your parents are working class or you are 1st generation immigrant so I advise you to become a nurse, doctor or a plumber.
In addition, as history has shown again and again people can and will do poor or risky financial decisions if given the opportunity across the whole spectrum (e.g. from payday loans to very expensive underperforming actively managed funds with huge fees). For a financial institution it may make sense to have 11% interest rate and a 20% chance that people will default before paying at least the principal but these interest rates make life unbearable for the people who have them and is detrimental for the society.
Finally people would probably make better decisions if they had an advisor like you but truth is that most people that come from low socioeconomic status either cannot imagine their selves being for example doctors (they even don't know anyone, an uncle or a family friend) and they have no access to advisors like you from their environment.

AI "progress" is nearly always presented in a way that confuses people, and usually includes some amount of fear mongering. I think its a problem between research and PR in general, but its exacerbated by weak theory in deep learning.

When Duplex is presented, the researchers do not communicate the domains where the research is reproducible, and where it is not. There is not theory that describes what domains can gain utility.

It seems like the obvious outcome of presenting research, without a theory that the audience can understand, is that the research will be misunderstood. Press narratives are required to latch onto this every time there are eyeballs on an AI demo: "Turing Test?", "Ethical Questions?", "Job Loss?", "How advanced is AI?", etc.

In terms of a "goal that might validate advance", I think a theory that helps others to understand the limits of the research. When other researchers, beneficiaries of the technology, and the press understand the real scope of the research it reduces the need for critique like OP.
As long as books remain physical, labour will be required to handle them. Some parts of the library logistics can be automated, but not all. No robot is going to replace a human librarian any time soon.
The symbolic AI tribe failed to reach what that the ML one never attempted. All fundamental differences aside they are hardly competing at all (except for eyeballs and grants). ML has made fantastic progress in recent years, but it could still be argued that the single most important discovery in ML has been the discovery of application domains with extremely little cost of being wrong.
The second AI winter is a quote from grandparent, not my own addition.

They lost me over this issue too. It felt like they only decided to support local vaults again because there were so many complaints from loyal users about the deprecation, which makes me think at some point they may try to end-of-life it again. I wouldn't mind paying for a new license every few years, but I don't want anything on their cloud.

There's something about laying hands on flesh that's important. As a medical student at a school that does not practice dissection, I feel envious of my grandfather who learnt his anatomy using a scalpel. We have labs with prosected cadavers, but that leaves much to be wanted.
Also because she received a lot of information saying that she must go to a University and take the loan to be successful. Higher education is a social practice reinforced by dominant economic thought. Being literate and pursuing intellectual pursuits in free time is a better indicator of ability and success than attending the University.

She has to stack up and pay it off in large chunks to beat the interest rate. Unless this is impossible for her, in which case I think a court would look favorably upon her protest.

Henry David Thoreau turned down his $5 vellum diploma from Harvard, and was one of the most important abolitionist thinkers. He would probably characterize the student loan practice as farcical, advocate for its abolition, and describe default as a moral imperative (note that defaults are punishable under Law in many states). He might have even described it as illegal, though he did not strictly believe in Law, unlike Abraham Lincoln.

Not to devalue the contributions of myself & other college graduates. I think higher education is necessary, like we play the role of The Giver in Lois Lowry's book, maybe. Its high price is commensurate with the social price of holding on to things like history, philosophy, and chemistry.

No one should go hungry or without work for not attending the University. Probably no one should be working or supporting the institution of debts, technically speaking. But there are many people who cannot read, cannot live without electricity, do not have fuel or agricultural land, etc.
I didn’t know that Costco broke even on most sales— that was interesting to learn.

It sounds like Costco also makes a profit of Kirkland Signature sales, though. I suppose if you didn’t like generic drugs you could apply a similar argument here.

Costco’s loss leaders (e.g. the hot dogs) are also arguably instances of “messing with prices to gain customers.”

Do you have a source for this statement? Crypto currency demand is not the "driver" of Nvidia profits.

I agree. Many of the applications that have moved out of the app store (e.g. Dash) have also ditched sandboxing.

Going back to the situation where every application can read your whole home directory is a large regression.

(Of course, non-MAS apps can also be sandboxed, but many developers do not do it.)
Which sounds like 'everyone except Intel' has gained ground. You don't plan to go into production with something next year if you have not made it work.
and if you want an upscale atmosphere we have Central Market (which is like a whole foods but better in every way :] )

It's Safari-only on macOS, as far as I know. It does work with iOS apps and it doesn't work on Windows. It can't replace a password manager unless you use Safari on macOS as your primary browser.
This is even true for technical information. I needed to calculate heat dissipation in a HV transformer, and could not find anything online other than brief hand-wavy napkin math. Wouldn't you know it, my small-town library could get the old engineering textbook I needed next day through library loan. Not as convenient as a web page, but I'm glad I thought to check before buying the book used.
Thank you. I'll take a look.

In retrospect I think there might be several ways to improve performance by using other data structures to index the facts, but I haven't had the time to work on it lately. There is a pull request from someone that I'm still looking at, which might just spur me on to think about it some more.
Do you need anybody in the US? I'm a senior marine engineer, working on my masters in CS. I'm interested in larger UUV's and USV's in general.
It's hard to "just send pull request" with such core and large aspect as documentation. You can work on your own and submit bug fixes, improvements, more examples and clarification for existing docs, but making documentation from scratch requires communicating and planning together with project authors. And you should know the project very well to write docs, at level of core developers.

One of the ways it can be done is to start independent documentation effort, without even considering to merge it to project repository. Then, having these "draft" docs, it will be easier to make "official" documentation. Even blog posts "how to get started with libui" can be useful. This project looks very promising, like WXWidgets, but in C and not C++, for this reason it has lots of language bindings already.
I describe this as the last bastion of socially acceptable racism.

PoC are less likely to get a college education, so requiring a degree helps to restrict the labor pool without bringing the EEOC down on the company.
We need to teach basic financial literacy to our kids. This is my takeaway from this article.
Performance is a real issue for Go's standard JSON, but this is a lot of extra boilerplate code to have to write (I'd probably codegen most of this if I had to), so I'd assume the reasonable strategy would be to implement with encoding/json, profile, and then just GoJay the hotspots.
Because it's cheap enough nobody is actually locked in. The membership price is easily made up within 10-20 small purchases - since shipping is so expensive from many other sites (unless you order more than $50 or whatnot).
> Besides, how can you submit a pull request for documentation when there’s no documentation for you to understand the code with?

By reading the code? You're posing it as some kind of impossible paradox, but with the full source code available you have a pretty readable specification of how it works.
