Yep, my parents who grew up in communist Poland used to collect so much stuff it's unbelivable. And then I can't really blame them - during the communist times if you wanted a new washing machine or a radio you had to wait for a special coupon to buy one, or maybe you had to figure out how to get some foreign currency to buy one in special shops that sold foreign goods(the irony being that these shops sold goods for US dollars, but you couldn't legally obtain US dollars anywhere, you could only get them if someone sent them to you for instance or if you had legitimate business with the West - for which of course you had to get a special permit that was difficult to get).

So yeah, of course we always had several of everything, because "what if it breaks and you can't buy another".

The efficiency of targeted ads depends greatly on there being a sufficient number of ads and sophisticated buyers on the platform. If you only have one unsophisticated advertiser on Adsense, it's a high likelihood that Adsense will just end up showing that ad to its entire network and the targeting advantage is completely negated. This is the problem left to be solved in advertising and it's really hard to solve
Requiring a cc for that is the wrong solution.
Personally I feel like the use of Docker is overkill, at first glance. It's a neat way of dealing with multiple versions of PHP and quickly setting up a development environment if you lose your computer or hire another developer.

Overall though, it seems me that is an indication that something is very very wrong with PHP if it's easier to just spin up containers. Docker is just the work-around that allows developers to have sane PHP environments.

The things that held me back from Bitwarden is the relatively short age of the company at 2~ years and the fact that there is only one dev. I'm reaching here. But even though the code is open source, he still owns the distribution. He can potentially be compromised (whether maliciously or not) and release an update that uploads the entire vault to him unencrypted. It could take a while before the internet caught on that the source code doesn't match the release build.

This of course could happen in a company like 1Password and there is at some point that I need to make the call and trust the person(s) coding the password manager. I feel that with 1Password there's at least the large size of the company which would mean more eyeballs and accountability. There is also the history of the company at 12~ years. This includes vetting and buy in from larger companies, which inspires a vote of confidence.

FWIW Bitwarden checks off nearly all the other boxes for me and I think the single dev has done a seriously bang up job.
Ask HN: Should I tell my colleagues there's a plan to make them redundant?
Hi HN,

I recently found documents on a shared drive for a bid to offshore our team and make everyone redundant. (We're a small team supporting a legacy system). From the documents it looks like our team's (only) client has indicated there will be very little work for us after this year, and there would likely be redundancies whatever happens, but the plan appears to be to offshore the roles to our parent company's Indian offices as soon as possible.

I don't know if the bid has been accepted by our client, but if it happens it would start in April with 2 Indian developers visiting our office.

Some context:

* We're a team of 9 in a small office some hours drive from head office where the rest of the ~1000 people in the company work.

* Our UK company was bought by a large Indian tech company. Their MO seems to be to acquire companies to prop-up their profits and offshore roles back to India. There have already been redundancies for technical roles at head office.

* I'm over 40, wife and 2 kids.

Questions:

* When / how should I tell my colleagues?

My wife doesn't want me to tell them yet, and (although I feel terrible about it and know this sounds callous) I'm thinking it's probably in my best interests not to say anything until I've found another job. If the others knew I think they would be able to find work easier than I can (I've been trying for 4 years!) and I could find myself out of work sooner.

* Is there any advantage to telling them now?

If the client accepts the bid I think there's very little we could do to change their mind. We're perceived as being very expensive by the client. Both my employer and our client stand to save several hundred £K by doing this.

* Should I ever tell them? How would you feel if you found out someone knew about something like this ahead of time and didn't tell you?

Any advice on how to handle this, or stories of similar situations would be greatly appreciated.

Question: what is MSFT's downside? I guess very little, or close to zero. Unless someone commits downright fraud (i.e., take the money and don't build anything--but no one will let them do this.)

They 'funding /financing buildings, maybe at lower rates than banks, but then MSFT has so much that a lot of it must be making close to 0%. So they solve a problem of theirs since MSFT is there for the long term, get excellent press with virtually no risk. If they default, MSFT might end up as building owners. Hire someone to manage and sell them when time is right. Maybe lose some on taxes and management fees but that is nothing, relatively speaking.

I'd agree with him: 1Password

- frequent updates and always keeping up with relevant OS features, like iOS AutoFill which allows 1Password to be set as the default iOS password store: https://support.1password.com/ios-autofill/

Because the more you drive, the more you save in energy and maintenance cost by switching to EV: charging cost far below gas prices, no oil change, (almost) no break change, etc.

The only thing that slows down (for now) the EV transition is the up-front cost of buying the battery. But businesses are more aware of the cost advantage of EV than consumers.

I work a lot with Laravel, it is a hell of a framework, documentation is amazing, it's clean, very well done, super extensible, there are a lot of extensions (just have a look at the Spatie library) and allows me to build up a website/webapp backend with a good API, basic authentication and other basic features in minutes.

Also, and this is a really strong point, can manage assets super easily, React and Vue stacks are supported out of the box with laravel-mix.

And if you need something lighter (for building just an API for instance) Lumen is the light version of it.

I have a lot of experience with PHP and Python frameworks, Laravel comes as absolute top for me.

Using up all the energy would require a perfect impedance match, which would be very hard to achieve.

Even a 1 percent error would be easy to detect, since radio receivers can easily have 100 dB of dynamic range, and decibels is a log scale, so that's massive!
Note that there’s an intermediate option, where you instruct the card issuer simply to deny future charges from the merchant. It doesn’t file a chargeback and it prevents new charges.
I wasn't aiming to convince anyone. Sometimes, I find calling something out as bullshit important enough to speak up, even if I have nothing else.

For what it's worth, I'm not buying that altruism is just another conduit for the good feels. It can be frustrating, it can be exhausting, it can seem pointless at times because you seemingly make no difference, and it can make you give up for a while.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not denying that altruism is about the person committed to it, to some degree. What I'm denying is that it's about some kind of personal gain, in the same way narcissistic supply is.

There's this idea of projects of immortality that people commit to in their lives, to escape physical death by becoming culturally immortal through the change they'd effected. Ernest Becker wrote about it in his book, The Denial of Death. The higher purpose, the meaning of life... We're all very much about that – self-actualization – as long as we don't have to just survive.

I find it difficult to accept that this kind of effect is entirely selfish and is based entirely in self-satisfaction.

> The thought that self-development leads to altruism

I've never claimed that. What I did claim is that one may be dissatisfied with the prospect of helping others out of a natural impulse if they're convinced it's selfish – and, therefore, promoting altruism as selfish is a negative consequence, rather than a matter of self-knowledge, as the parent commenter seemed to have posited.

It's "reductive" in a sense that it reduces a complex, interconnected system of personality to a basic matter of whether we feel good about something. It makes things seem far simpler than they are. If it were that simple, psychotherapy wouldn't need to exist.
I hate the blandness of all the hotels, how all the decoration and furniture and even the people seem fake

I often hear that argument and actually think it's the other way round.

Sure, some hotels offer very generic rooms. However, I stayed in memorable, extremely well designed hotel rooms. Awesome beds, which can compare to my own (rather good) bed at home. Let alone the extremely well and thought thru design of the lightning and the blinds. If you want just one example look at the Bangkok LeMeridien.

On the other hand I never experienced a rented appartment, be it via AirBnb or other purveyors, which wasn't completely generic. With the same cheap Ikea furniture of shoddy quality and decorated worse than the worst examples of "hotel art".

I think where you are coming from is the ideal where AirBnb started, but which is no more the case for years. Most offers, by a wide margin, are by professional landlords, hording dozens if not hundreds of appartments managed by some faceless management company.

I mean, you could swap the cards live, but I'd be worried about the electrical end, not the debounced and processed signals coming from the OS - although if I were writing a malicious package, device tree changes would also trigger all sorts of alarms. (Had a bad contact on an SD card once - the effect of disconnect-reconnect on the running OS was...spectacular, but in a bad way. In the better case, it fluctuated the board voltage enough to reboot.)
Many phones are getting better IR filters because sunsets and fireplaces both have large amounts of IR in, and without the filters it's hard to get a decent picture. People rarely use the front facing camera for those things.

Frankly if your paid-tier is so underwhelming that people would 'bunk off' and keep renewing free trials then I think your offering sucks.

Look at current Flickr, trying to force users into a one-size Pro membership. They're not listening to light users who won't pay $50 + taxes + currency conversion fees to get 'stats and partner offers'. Instead people are creating multuple accounts and storing 999 photos in each, for free. Flickr should be in that space with $10 Basic accounts
For context this is Adam Back who said that instead of raising the block size to avoid the ridiculous fees we should instead use tabs.

As my old ARM Chromebook gets nearer to it's EOL I start to look for how to install Linux on it. I'm wondering if postmarketOS could be used to do this. Has anyone tried to do something like this or where should I look?

I'm slowly dabbling on my own Linux distribution [0]. I'm using Void Linux packages and build system to prepare a rootfs image. Thanks to how it's done in Void I can build the whole image without root on newer kernels. I intend to have the update model of ChromeOS (two partition scheme, reboot to update), but Void being a rolling release only distribution may bring me same pains as Alpine edge brings to postmarketOS. So I wonder: how's Alpine build system in comparison to Void's? Does pmbootstrap bring the isolation or is it already an Alpine feature?

Lots of small reasons that added up to a feeling that we were constantly fighting Gatsby.

RethinkDB was so promising and still is in a way. It just didn't take off as an open source, openly government project (yet). It's still early though. I hope it forms a great community around itself and becomes a major open-source database offering. Apache or CNCF adopting it wouldn't be the worse thing ever even though not a super CNCF like product.
If you've anything better to offer, methinks a gazillion marketers, designers, and SaaS developers out there will be all ears open. Here's the dilemma in a nutshell:

- If you don't give full access to what you're offering during the trial period, would-be users won't get a feel of what they might be losing out on when the trial runs out.

- If you do give full access during the trial period, but don't require some kind of hard to get unique enough identifier, a non-negligible users will create new accounts ad nauseam.

(Alternative unique identifiers could be SSNs or ID cards or physical mail addresses. But these are all non-starters. And phone numbers and emails are free for all practical intents.)

I can't think of a single healthy behavior that is not occasionally taken to an unhealthy extreme by people with a disorder.

The term hoarding is problematic because it is lacking a clear line even more than other potentially pathological behaviors, there is absolutely no consensus where having some stuff that you don't exactly use daily ends and pathological hoarding begins. Even alcohol consumption seems clear-cut by comparison. Combined with the smugness of how self-congratulatory "minimalists" will look down on everybody who has slightly different standards than them, and the unfortunate coincidence that disorder (as in chaotic) shares a linguistic token with disorder (as in mental health) it makes it incredibly hard to have a meaningful discussion about the topic.

(I write "minimalist" in quotes because far too many self-identifying minimalists are not minimal at all, they are just eagerly disposing to drive their consumerism to eleven, new and shiny every time)
Yes, there is.
