It doesn't have built-in syncing, unlike KeePass. So if you want cloud syncing you have to install an entire syncer on your file system just for the sake of that one program. The assumption that everyone has or wants an automatic behind-the-scenes file syncer installed on every system they use the program on is quite a big and incorrect one.
This post made me think of George Churches new startup aimed at making research studies like this opt-in and pay money to participants, while making it easier for researchers to find large datasets for their research. While their bockchain-based platform seems overhyped, if anyone is in a position to accomplish this, it's George Church, so maybe they stand a chance at changing the way things are done in that industry.

The solution is for the SEC to run an exchange? How does that make sense? They should keep rejecting the ETF until such an exchange exists.

Excellent, but invite only and I couldn't change my country in the country dropdown so not sure if I will ever get an invite...

Does anyone knows an easily accessable version of this product for the UK and/or EU? So far either it's not available in the EU or you have to jump through a lot of hoops with the existing providers I tried to even make a simply PoC. Not even for rollout but an entirely, no risk to them, PoC. I am looking for a B2B solution; I am not a consumer looking for virtual cards; I need this for my clients.

Anyone knows any API that will let me do a PoC so I can test it out in the real world? I have clients looking for this kind of solution, but haven't been able to find anything that I can even check if it works at all.

This looks perfect though.
> generally which middle boxes are "bad" and the answer is all of them, almost by definition.

NATs and firewalls are the first two classes of middleboxes that come to mind, and I wouldn't consider either of them inherently "bad".

As pointed out in the article, NATs suffer from the shortcoming that without visibility into stream semantics (e.g. SYNs / RSTs / FINs), they often fall back to using arbitrarily set timeouts that can sever long-lived connections (e.g. an idle SSH session, where messages might be infrequent).

In my view, "bad" middleboxes are those that lead to protocol ossification -- TLS 1.3 (also from the article) is a good example of that. With encrypted control state, middleboxes (without cooperation by one of the endhosts) are forced to treat QUIC packets as opaque UDP blobs.

Part of the problem is that some middleboxes don't actually follow the robustness principle, and will in fact strip unrecognized protocol options or drop the packets entirely.
No, the question is what if you do want cloud syncing for your passwords (you need to sync with your phone somehow without manually uploading/downloading from a browser every time...), but unable or unwilling to install a background cloud syncer installed on every system you use KeePassXC on. People blindly suggest KeePassXC without realizing not everyone has or wants a cloud syncer installed on their entire system.
Old school Windows start menu was a great menu. It was just a menuized folder hierarchy, simple and effective. The only real flaw was that you only had one, you couldn't add new "start" buttons pointed to different folders for custom menus.

At some point they added the ability to kinda do that, (right-click taskbar -> new toolbar...), which still works on Windows 10.

I would disagree there a bit, I do it because I enjoy taking things apart and seeing how it all ticks together.

Like taking apart a running grandfather clock to see it tick.

Movies and TV series or even books are similar to me. I do enjoy digging deep into TVTropes and AllTheTropes so I can whlie watching a movie, take it apart and see how it ticks.

How the movie achieves the suspension of disbelief, how the heroes journey is being implemented in lockstep with the villain (if there is even one) or how a character is built, what parts make them what they are.

I think it's more of a hackers spirit rather than HN. I read the manual of the movie so I can take it apart like some hacker might read a device manual to be able to take it apart more easily.
it would also be possible do this by going around in a circle at 2g (a train?) the train could then drag a capsule and let go at a certain speed.

I think it makes more sense to focus on the benchmarks. Benchmarks change less often than the underlying algorithms/models, and they are easier to follow.

Once a model performs consistently well on a given benchmarks over several years, then it makes sense to get more into the details.

For example in the NLP field, in 2018, there is a focus on multi-tasks models. Some studies (don't have the refs at hand, sorry) suggest that different models generalize differently (and some time better) when trained on several tasks at once.

Anyway, those papers and models are the result of team of researchers working on the problem full time, with tons of data at their hands. If any sane individuals were able to keep up with the state of the art, it wouldn't be a research field, I guess :-)
Ask HN: EDAC vs. vendor monitoring
Hi,
recently it has come up that none of the hardware vendors we use supports edac running on linux. It seems edac is keeping the vendor monitoring solutions (usually built into the remote management cards) from noticing memory errors.

Lenovo: https://support.lenovo.com/de/en/solutions/ht107942
Dell: https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln283389/edac-errors-in-messages-log-in-redhat-enterprise-linux-rhel-and-poweredge
HP: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-a00016026en_us
Fujitsu: [ I did not find a link for this but their support told us to blacklist edac]

So my question:
do you disable edac your servers in favor of vendor supplied monitoring?
Is there any vendor that properly integrates with edac?

Greetings

The reason someone would say it is fair is because insurance isn't designed to just be free healthcare our car repairs or whatever. Insurance is a scene designed to deal with the problem that some unlikely events are too expensive to pay for oneself. We pool our money into insurance policies to allow anyone holding the policy to weather such events by the virtue of having guaranteed support from the other policy-holders.

However, for this system to work, each person does need to pay in approximately enough to cover the risk they create to the policy. So yes, more risky people do need to pay more, because they are creating more costs to the policy.

Basically, insurance isn't free healthcare, and we shouldn't be treating it that way.
It depends on what an attacker is after.

For the average mid-sized shop that's probably true. However, it's usually larger organizations that worry about storing data in the cloud.

For these organizations and attacks specifically targeted at one of them, I suppose that in order to access vital company data both social engineering and hacking an internal system are much more effective attack vectors than gaining access to a third party system.

Unfortunately, ships that disable their transponder pose risks not only to themselves, but also others - especially smaller vessels, which may not have transponders of their own.

However, I agree that this data is valuable and should probably be used; I merely espouse caution in how we apply it, as there may be ways to use it without posing undue danger for fishermen, or alternate lower risk data sources (such as the satellite analysis mentioned in the article). There is relatively little cost in putting together a risk analysis prior to implementing any policies or law enforcement strategies from these analyses.

On a mobile phone it is not so great. A single scrolling page like the recent hype but the menu disappears when scrolling down forcing me to scroll all the way back up to select the next menu. Never understood those designs. Keep my menu and home button in my screen at all times please.

P.s. I know there is a little arrow that does an animated automatic scroll upwards but for me needing such a thing is a clear indication of a flawed design. Instead of fixing the symptom you should fix the root cause..
By that logic you define the park as a part of the way from A to B and whoever comes first and is part of the majority who wants to travel from A to B through the park without casually strolling will define the way. What if the park is supposed to have a few loops and not-directly-diagonal paths to encourage lingering around?

Also, maybe I'm just the stereotypical boring German but I usually try to not use the man-made footpaths if I just have to walk 20m more... Of course that's different for really "useless" 2m x 100m stripes of lawn in the middle of nowhere where someone just didn't notice that everyone will have to cross it, but of course there are exceptions to every rule.

NAT are objectively bad in the sense that it's a violation of protocol standards and, like seen in the article, breaks stuff that should work.

This makes it harder (often prohibitively hard) to develop and improve new protocols and applications.

I'm doing this since 2016 and never looked back. Also I got rid of FB and Google and am far more focused now. It was easy for me because growing up in the 70/80ies I never became as addicted to it. Looking at my kids I have many regrets for being positive about technology while they grew up. As an engineer I felt it was normal to expose them to screens from an early age. If I could go back in time this is what I'd change and regret the most: exposing my kids to this shit.

If I look at younger people I hang out with it's sad to see some of them would have a panic attack if asked to leave home without their phone. It sounds totally crazy to them. They grew up with parents constantly reminding them to bring their phone, and they would have gotten into trouble any time they would forget the phone, run out of battery or be otherwise unreachable. It's panic passed down from (my) generation ...

In my experience of running hosting business people want to pay month to month or yearly. I think we maybe had two or three customers that wanted to pay biannually, not worth the bother.

We had large upfront costs (servers) and lots of competition so low margins. If the customer was paying month to month usually they would stay long enough for us to easily manage the server and keep it profitable.

But some packages had more customer churn, You will pay for you backup hosting no matter what but a cheap server for an experiment is not going to see enough months to be profitable.

Making these high customer churn products a yearly thing made them profitable. Similar thinking for products that are just dirt cheap, add in the cc fees and other costs of billing, if its late or declined, it makes much more sense and profit to charge £24 a year for an email than £2 a month.
OpenShift vs. IBM-Cloud or OCP Side by Side ICP
Hello together,

my Company is planning to invest into the creation of a private and on premise Cloud-Solution. It seems that OpenShift has won the race, but now we also take a look at ibm cloud private. I think it`s really hard to find some further information about ibm cloud private or differences to ocp.
I`ve watched the video "IBM and Red Hat Explained" on youtube, and this was the first time i have heard that ibm cloud private is running on top of ocp, so am i right that these two products don`t compete but extend each other?
i would like to hear some experiences from guys who are running this systems side by side or switched from on to the other and why.

kind regards

And the stuff you can make with the wing is beyond ability of any machine. Equipment is super cheap compared to planes, and once you have it flying is basically for free.

There are some drawbacks - its passive flying, so you are at mercy of the weather, wind and your skills much more than rigid construction with powerful engine.
Impulse control is really hard. But more importantly, it’s a losing battle, even for adults, if you use many popular services today. The reason is simple. Most of these services have highly paid and intelligent folks, whose sole purpose is to use the unprecedented private data they have on you, to hack into deep biological impulses embedded in every human built over millennia, to have you use their service more.

Its frankly not possible and anyone who believes otherwise is likely fooling themselves.
