> Compromising security for better comfort is not a very good strategy.

This approach is exactly why the vast populace has essentially no security. I'd be glad if my parents were to switch to last-pass, as it is so much better then weak password re-use schemes.

I'd say that compromising security for comfort is a given, its guaranteed to happen. The best strategy here is to make sure that users will have the most security after the compromise.
Ask HN: Recommend Password Manager
Hello,

I have been postponing moving to a managed password service for a long time, the results have not been catastrophic but I've played the odds long enough.

Lastpass and 1password are often recommended. I am happy to pay an one-off fee but a monthly subscription service is a no-go for me. I would also prefer to have the option to switch off syncing and my hashed passwords going to the cloud. I don't have time to go in full homebrew mode as others seemed to have done.

So what do you guys recommend? Is there a site that compares these products?
I think people are generally good at 2nd order thinking, and thinking within complex systems with multiple causes, effects and subsequent effects. Especially so if we're immersed and experienced in a field.

We are bad at thinking this way in groups, relatively. We're especially bad when these groups are political. If we're deciding on arming rebels, the political dynamics are the 2nd order effects that dominate thinking, not the war... especially if it's a small foreign war that's unlikely to reach home.

The rebel field commander has no problem recognising these strategic dynamics.

If you mean Chrome you shouldn't do that, Chrome stores your passwords in a SQLite database locally, anyone can access that very easily
In my experience, Keepass works great with 2 databases open.

On my work computer, I have my own personal DB and my Work DB open at all time.
I mainly use the passwords for the web, and the Kee extension in Firefox and Chrome finds the right password without any problem, from both DB.
I have my personal ssh keys stored in my DB as well, and Putty can access them without problem.

I can't speak for shared DB though, as I've never used it in that way.

> Why shouldn't europe then buy oil directly in euros?

Until recently, the Euro electronic transmission system was far slower, and less immutable, than the Fedwire system. This has recently changed. Otherwise, the superior investment environment in the U.S. (i.e. higher yields) and broader international acceptance of dollars would be marginal issues. At this point, Saudi Arabia selling all its oil in dollars is a bit of an anachronism.

I am shocked how some older people behave in their inboxes... One lady clicks on every single link in every e-mail she gets. Her man tries to open every attachment. I was even more shocked when I saw, that their free mail provider Gmx doesn’t really have spam filter. I use gmail in Germany and see spam every few months. Gmx’s inbox had many suspicious e-mails when Amazon purchase notifications landed in spam folder. Both computers Windows 7 with no antivirus. After years educating them I achieved, that she does not open suspicions e-mails and the guy open attachments only from his friends. Some of these friends strongly believe, that everything on Internet is true. It was a weird moment understanding, that some random website is trusted by older people on same level as quality journalism like Sueddeutsche Zeitung. This aging population is nice target for individuals with not the best intentions.

Is Sydney's (or Australia's) job market for developers so bad?
I'm a Senior Java Developer at a well known worldwide company, which is a recognised and trusted brand. Aside from Java (Spring ecosystem), I do basic DevOps stuff, AWS EC2/SQS/ECS/S3/whatnots, can write decent front-end apps in AngularJS, and I handle new stuff with relative ease.

My profile is quite wanted here in EU, I get offers from all across the continent, but two months of trying to relocate to Australia have made me strongly discouraged. I get automated rejection letters or the communication falls silent; long and personalised cover letters are met with a brush-off in a form of 'alright, but what's your visa status again?' (even though I state in the CL that I don't have any).

Is the back-end/full-stack market in Sydney so satiated, that Australia can support all its IT from people born there?

As this was where you made you question, I'll stick with you here in the ruthlessly utilitarian minefield (i.e. people and $$$'s are fungible).

First, a clarification, it's 30 pack-years. There are lots of ways to get to that number. 30 years @ 1 pack/day and 15 years @ 2 packs a day are both 30 pack-years. That number sticks with you even if you quit 20 years ago.

So, especially for the younger end of that range (55yo), people between 55-65 are often in their peak earning years (finally gotten seniority or management) and this is when they are most often finally paying off their debts (mortgage, etc). It's also when they are likely doing peak elder care and also sending their kids to college. So this is the time where they are probably doing their peak economic and social good. If you can catch something that keeps them productive for an additional 10ish years, you've probably come out ahead for it.

No. It's simple, rational, sane risk management.

Risk = probability x impact.

Even if probability has reduced (who knows by how much), impact is the near-certain death.

>They're right. These barriers haven't disappeared overnight. They haven't even disappeared after a quarter of a century.

The barriers disappeared since functional concepts were absorbed into other languages. Almost all languages have higher order functions. Many languages have a preference for immutable data. Recursion was rightly not adopted as iterators are a better solution - keep the map/filter/fold, leave the TCO.

>People still come up with stupid reasons why they don't like Haskell

One expects that if Haskell was superior, then it would be impossible for successful Haskell projects to materialize as they've done with Python, Go, Rust, Java, C++. And yet, successful Haskell projects are rare. There must be a because there is a hidden variable that this study in 1994 didn't capture.

There's certainly not a cabal of project managers forcing C++ down peoples' throats. So instead of calling the reasons stupid, why not try to find out what this hidden variable is?

Both the NOPEC passing and the Sauds ditching the dollar would be great, but as the article says "The chances of the U.S. bill known as NOPEC coming into force are slim and Saudi Arabia would be unlikely to follow through(...)"
On the 20 August 2010 the police got the report and on the same day the duty prosecutor got the information.

On 30 August, Assange was questioned by the Stockholm police

On 1 September 2010, Överåklagare Marianne Ny decided to resume the preliminary investigation.

On 27 September 2010 assange left the country, now a month after he had been at the police.

On 18 November 2010, Marianne Ny ordered the detention.

Now that sound like a person running from their crime. Its the most slow motion running of any reported case to reach the news. I also must applaud the Swedish legal system for effective and swift action, in particular for reaching a conclusion three months after the initial investigation when no new facts had been established. If only the prosecutor had reached the decision from the beginning, rather than wait until the accused leave the country, wait a bit longer and then order the detention.

Did I mention rape cases are about the second highest prioritized crime in Sweden, next after murder? There were no murder spree between 20 August 2010 and 18 November 2010.

I lived down there for 7 years that coincided with his presence in the country, and I've commented on the uniqueness of Correa as a politician before:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5984041

I think it's still a good comparison: Correa was his country's Bismark. He was in the right place at the right time -- Bismark himself famously having said that the job of the politician is to listen for God's footsteps and grab onto His coattails as he passes by -- and he legitimately did build a massive amount of eg. roads, hospitals (some decent multiple of the previous N presidencies combined), reformed the tax service, got a ton of small businesses paying taxes for the first time ever (by making it incredibly cheap for even the very poorest small businesses to get into the system) ... and was pretty much like Bismark in relations with the opposition press, too.

> And yet, successful Haskell projects are rare. There must be a because there is a hidden variable that this study in 1994 didn't capture.

I'd argue that Haskell projects are just rare generally, at least partly for the reasons described in the study. It's not debatable that so much of a technology's adoption comes primarily down to network effects, and not a technology's technical merit alone.
I am not against "higher-order thinking" but in my experience it often leads to wishful thinking and self-deception. Especially political arguments are prone to disagreements on higher order effects (as opposed to effects that are directly observable and measurable).

For example, take basic income. Opponents of basic income argue that it will lead to inflation (second-order effect) and it will have no effect. Proponents of basic income argue that it will lead to higher velocity of money (second-order effect) and it will have positive economic effect.

Often the magnitude of second-order effects is not clear (often they are large sums of small numbers, and somewhat non-linear), and this leads to disagreements even among reasonable people. It's very easy to see 2nd order effect of some type and not another. So I would be cautious to rely on it too much.

(This is also partly a reason why I am in favor of empiricism as opposed to rationalism - humans often have bad intuitions when we just think about things.)

For me ideal is keepass but once got db corruption when syncing with dropbox like service. Hence went with enpass which allows me to sync password across devices and encrypt with keyfile and master password like in keepass.

Apple Plus – Brand versus Subscription
For one thing I guess in these times the keyboard was still something associated with a female role.

Then what perhaps also contributed is the roles of workers by collar color. Coding was perhaps more considered manual labor (blue collar). Yet people seem to forget it's actually the computers doing the manual labor. The developer is much more a complex designer role thinking up the execution architecture.

So we got the waterfall movement where it was believed the higher payed intellectual roles didn't need to know how to code. I think this caused many men and women shifting towards those roles. We got the feminist movement which was very much focused on getting women into those higher payed top jobs. Coding wasn't considered one of those.

Then perhaps the education system is partly to blame. It has become a commercial enterprise making sexy promises for a future life. In earlier times it was more common to start at the bottom and work/promote your way up the career ladder. You would move up because you were more valuable doing other things. Other people could take over parts of your job. In our current time the idea is that you can just get some university degree, skip all the lower jobs and stream in sideways. This leaves the "upper jobs" somewhat disconnected from the "lower jobs". It perhaps causes some dysfunctional organizations. Especially in Europe.

I think this is what "the establishment" dictates. Meanwhile there were still those creative people getting their hands dirty hacking up cool solutions in their basements, garages and attics. Much more driven by a certain attitude than the safety and promises of a certain education. Their products simply outperformed the ones coming from the establishment.

We get the weird situation we see today.

I think the point is that bank payments, email spam filters, the risk of getting marked as "suspicious activity" as in GP, these become risk factors with a cloud infrastructure as much as, say, a power outage would be if you were self hosting.

When you self host something and you have a power outage, that counts as an interruption of service; when a major cloud provider suspends your account because of some chain of mistakes on your or their part, this doesn't impact their SLAs, because the service is technically fine.
