I tried this briefly under Wine in Linux. On the surface it doesn't look like it has 2 features I really like about Keepass:

- Folders. I like using folders and subfolders to keep related sets of passwords together.

- Support for attachments. Keepass lets me keep track of keyfiles, notes, and certificates in addition to passwords. Ylva has a notes field but I really like Keepass's ability to attach files.

The QR integration is interesting I guess, I don't have any apps that allow QR code for password input but if I did it would be useful.
Ticketing App AXS Scrapes Everything It Can Get from Your Phone (2018)
Just changing the zone would do nothing for people who blindly dial back without even checking the number. What we need is a system to report the per-minute cost of an outgoing call, and being able to block any call above that limit (like, set the limit to $0.00/min and you can only call numbers included in your plan).

But of course carriers wouldn't want that, not only because it would make consumers painfully aware of how much their calls cost, but also because they are profiting from these scams.
Thank you, Dan.

Breadth of viewpoint is important, but I reject the notion that HN is somehow closed-minded because "perhaps it's the nine-year-old's fault?" gets a measure of incredulity.
Question: At what point does maintaining the 737 type rating become too much "technical debt"? Why not create a new (modern) type that fills the same commercial requirements as the 737?
Assuming a system reset is inevitable, avoiding war seems like a worthwhile problem to solve.
Same. And I'm surprised by how rarely it gets mentioned in these kind of HN discussions. I would have thought given it's origins (originally designed by Bruce Schneier and open-sourced in 2002 [0]), it would have a bigger following.

App store removed a teaching app without recourse
App store removed a teaching app because it had not been updated in some time. The app is used by a nonprofit I volunteered with to teach conflict resolution, in addition to its courses that it teaches. It works well under current iOS, but there doesn't seem to be any recourse. Has anyone else experienced this?

I read a fascinating thing somewhere about how Communist Russia had a school of thought that was exactly that - that you could see the economy as an equation to be solved, and they tried their hardest to solve it.

There were a number of issues, including getting good data on production (why tell the truth if you'll be killed or demoted for not meeting your production quota?) and that there wasn't a mechanism that allowed sufficient granularity into the types of items produced which led to all kinds of weird excesses (they mentioned pipes, specifically: that you could get a ton of some standard sizes, but others that would have to be recalibrated for and so would slow down production were simply not made, but the numbers only showed "growth in industrial pipe" - that kind of thing.

The idea was that the system was too complex to really turn into a system of equations, so the free market one out.

The article then theorized that a place like China, without any privacy scruples and with a semi-centrally planned economy, might actually be able to get enough data to create and solve that equation.

I wish I could find the article for you, it had some really interesting historical references and links to economic thought in that kind of planned system I think you'd find fascinating. Maybe some other HN'er knows what I'm talking about!

Free debate doesn't do much when the people in power have no motivation to change, and when even small wins (like net neutrality) are so easily undone. I really don't think the gap is as large as you might think.

The US is a bit more liberal in its allowances of public discourse than China but at the end of the day US media mostly serves to maintain the status quo; you're not going to make any real lasting change via freedom of speech alone.

Also look at actual movements within the US which have made an impact on people's lives and see how the US state has cracked down on them, the Black Panthers are a good example of this.

Things are also moving the other way at unprecedented speed - the expensive ones: housing, medical care, education. None of which is discussing the comparative inequality of the two periods.

Are you saying inequality is required for that list of innovations? If so, on what grounds?

We came up with contraceptive pills, eradication of polio, visited the moon, transformation of aviation and personal transportation, domestic appliances - including TVs, washing machines, dish washers went from unaffordable luxury to in every home. Doesn't seem like the pace of innovation has increased, just moved to a different field compared with the period of lowest US inequality. If anything it's slowed markedly.

So why didn't these innovations need inequality?

At a fundamental level, incomes (and wealth) have to rise proportionate to productivity.

Average employee productivity has increased a lot since 1970s but wages (and thus wealth) hasn't.

The top 1% on the other hand reaped the benefits of low capital gains taxation, rates of interest an economic downturn that didn't collapse them and hoarded wealth and political power.

With this hoarded wealth (and political power) and low taxes for the govt to run, they have jacked up prices of healthcare, education and housing for the masses. At the same time, they are lending more to various governments who now have to cut benefits for the masses.

To fix it, just reverse it. Take a few billions off of each billionaire and subsidizing state college education would be a good start. Redistribution is important for revolutions to not happen.

> In several instances, [Boeing] activated the angle of attack indicator for free, which then turned on the disagree alert.

This sounds like the "indicator" and "warning light" are not physical devices that must be installed at extra cost, but rather are software features that can be "activated" by changing some configuration file.

If so, then Boeing has blood on their hands. The active control system is already a cost-cutting hack. Charging extra for zero-cost safety features related to the new, unproven control system is an act of appalling greed.

Terry Gilliam, most likely.
I don't understand this article as being about changing to a socialist system. AFAIU, it is about better taking Life & Nature into account in our current economic system & models. We do to some extent, but they are massively undervalued, and economy & ecology aren't current aligned (otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion in first place), hence our current economy is unsustainable.

I think of it as finding the "fair price" for having X many trees, X many wild animals, pure air, pure water, etc. on our planet and consuming some to produce goods, food, etc. ; i.e. a fairer price between the immediate gain, and the longer term consequences. A metaphor: what's the "fair price" for the "goose that laid the golden eggs" and the profit/loss for killing it?
yeah I'm not sure anyone is arguing that the appreciation of housing values is a good thing, just that it's an emergent thing and it's not that surprising. Much of this paper is corroborating Piketty, whose central thesis is more or less that the rate of return on capital is too high, and that the consequence of the high rate of return on capital is increasing wealth inequality. We're in essence creating a system that says that if you want to make more money, owning stuff is better than doing stuff. That's a pretty lamewad system imho, as it encourages the growth of the rentier class as the expense of the working class.
I wish the FAA would grow some balls and come right out and declare the old 737 type rating as deprecated. No new designs (including the 737 MAX) are allowed to fall under it. The type is many decades outdated and increasingly poor decisions are being made to conform to it.

> Is there any indication that people actually understand (and can mathematically demonstrate) how to fix this, or are all suggestions going to be based on economic or political ideologies?

This is an engineer's mindset, but human society is not a purely logical system. Ideology has to be a part of the conversation, because wealth inequality is about our values. Do we want a world in which a small number of people control most of the economic and political power, or do we value a world in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly? This seems like a relatively obvious question for me.

Despite the parent, it's never been an argument that owning is better than working, or anything at all to do with individual people at the micro scale.

The argument is when returns are greater than growth, societal inequality increases because the "haves" continue to hold on to their wealth, essentially creating a kind of permanent upper-class, that isn't based on merit the way it should be under capitalism, and that this (arguably) feels fundamentally unfair.
Yeah, so if you set 'xpinstall.signatures.required = false' in the about:config it'll let you use your extensions, but this is just a workaround.

Oh yes I know (I work at a company making diagnostic medical devices).

I feel like that mechanism makes sense for somethings, but certainly feels kinda sketchy for other things.
I don't think the quoted text refers to the computer being able to resolve conflicts in the sensor readings. The computer cant resolve conflicting signals from two sensors, but can certainly detect if the signals are conflicting, and if there was an indicator to warn about such cases, can turn it on giving pilots indication of such conflict.
I also had that impression at first but it seems that they are just using Support Vector Machines to draw the separating boundary between the two group of points.

If you want a robust keyboard, go mechanical. Quiet is relative -- there's a number of different switches to choose from. Cherry MX Red or MX Clear are both popular picks for office environments. I love my Ergodox -- I have one with Cherry MX Green switches (very loud/clicky) and one with Zealios (very quiet, but there's still a tactile bump at the activation point of the key so you don't have to bottom out the key).

If you're wondering why this discussion feels misplaced, it's because people are missing the real issue:

It's not about rich vs. non-rich, but rather those who got rich via rent-seeking or parasitic activity, vs those that don't or can't.

A tenured college professor, or worse, an administrator whose livelihood depends on ever-increasing college costs and therefore increased debt burdens on the young, is part of this parasitic class. So are lifelong non-profit employees, journalists (fake news peddlers who need ever-increasing alarm and fear amongst their readers to generate more pageviews and therefore ad dollars), pharma company employees, companies in monopoly/oligopoly industries (US airlines), government employees, career politicians, and many others.

Adjust the discussion, and then you might actually have a decent chance at fixing it. The problem is that the above population is actually quite significant, and they all benefit from switching the bogeyman focus to "CAPITALISM AAHHH" to avoid scrutiny on what really ails us as a society.

I wonder if the solution is remarkably simple: Make phone calls expensive again.

Get rid of unlimited/free/super-cheap rates and make all callers pay by the minute again. Especially inbound international calls.

Let people who want free communication use FaceTime and SMS and Email and whatnot. But make phone calls expensive enough that you know if someone is paying to call you it must be important.

I got my first document scanner in 1997. Because of that I still have all of my phone bills going back to that year. I just looked up my April 1997 Cincinnati Bell bill. A five minute call from Cincinnati to Charleston, West Virginia cost $1.45 ($2.31 in 2019 money).

If we can raise the cost of customer acquisition there will be far fewer scammers.

Incidentally, my total bill for that month was $104.34 -- almost the same as what I spend for cell service today. Except that now I'm paying for unlimited texts and minutes that I never use. The only advantage my phone has today is its mobility, which feels more like a burden than a benefit.

It's less of a "tribe" thing and more of an analysis of material conditions. People don't break out the guillotines if their lives are stable and their material needs are adequately taken care of; if they don't think there is something better on the other end of the blood bath.

The same way people don't join unions if they think they will make less money because of their union dues. They do these things as a means to improving their material conditions.

The problem is that one "tribe"'s material conditions are at the expense of the others. You can't increase wages without decreasing profit. So the profiting "tribe" is at odds with the wage "tribe".

I'm scare-quoting "tribe" because the traditional word is class which we've had ironed out of us over the last 40 years. This is class struggle and has existed for a long time.

I think you're thinking of extreme cases here like games which are released with bugs these days for holiday rush, because the patching is easy / built-in. That's not the case for everything and not the case for Firefox.

Hey everyone, Varun, founder of Rebl here. We are looking to build a product that isn't predatory towards the people that need help the most. Locking individuals into a high-interest rate card is the current trend of the market and at Rebl, we want to change that.

Rebl is thin file charge card designed for those with steady cash flow but relies on access to their bank account instead of their credit score. Our ideal consumer is someone with low or no credit, as well as someone who may have damaged their credit in the past but is rebuilding. We set a low starting limit that grows with the consumer's needs with a 30-day revolving payback window. Because of the payback period and full transparency into a user's financials which also us to make on the fly credit decisions, we carry low amounts of risk compared to our competitors and see this as the future of credit.
Is the right word inequality? There aren't less college places, houses in NY/the Bay, etc in the world than there were in the 80s. By extension, the problem is not enough new wealth creation rather than inequality.

Yes, the right word to describe this bifurcation is inequality. It's correct to note that the absolute number of available housing and students going to university are up, but relatively compared, people are finding harder to do both because the number of available spots has grown slower than population growth.

At first glance, this may seem like an issue with not enough wealth creation: why are there not more houses and universities being built? But when you look at productivity versus income [1], the issue is with the unequal capture of wealth not with its creation.
