Even people on the other coast are dismayed at the californians trying to change oregon, nevada, washington (too late) and even texas it seems. It is quite startling actually.
As someone who has been looking into those areas for possible moving, the changes in recent years are bringing real fears that they could actually start going the way of California, which makes them much less attractive.
That's just not true.

> No you don't sound arrogant, our team is still learning. ... So I said may be in future may try Haskell.

I'm conflicted as to whether functional programming like Haskell a right business solution to real-world problems. Businesses need to hire developers, and almost all of them taught procedural programming in school.

Is functional programming innately more intellectual / hard to grasp than procedural programming? Or is it just not taught enough in school? I'm not really sure.

Procedural programming more closely matches the real world with one thing happening after the next. Functional programming more closely matches math with one thing represented as a transformation of another. To me, one does not seem any more difficult than another, but clearly, many more devs understand procedural programming better than functional.

In a real-world business, you need to hire developers with the skills they have. Junior devs are far more comfortable in procedural programming than functional programming. Most businesses can't afford a team of senior devs. So regardless of whether one is easier/harder/better/etc., we get procedural programming, not functional.
Actually most of the JS cookie libraries I’ve used have an explicit “None” string that’s separate from a null or disabled setting. And the spec is carefully written such that it doesn’t actually say whether the default is None or Lax, it’s now unspecified...

"By implication that anyone not held directly against their will couldn't be a victim."

I never said any such thing. I said the opposite thing: that it is possible a young assistant to an old guy is not a victim. That's an important distinction.

I think establishing a rule in society that young women can't work for old men would be wrong.
I don't see that. So is it your belief that a person should by law, have the right to demand that anything they have ever published be taken down, no matter where it is? So a person has the right to contribute to a community for any given amount of time, and then pull out of that community and remove all their contributions?
If the universe is deterministic, how can there be entanglement or branching at all? What need is there for a multiverse if you have determinism?

It’s as if non-determinists aren’t sure that 2 doesn’t act like a 3 sometimes because of decoherence and so 2 + 3 = 6 as a result.

Where am I going wrong in this line of thinking? How could randomness be injected into a system without superpositioning of quarks? Is that literally the only way?

> heroin will eat you from the inside and kill you eventually. It is the most evil drug that has ever existed. Before it kills you it will ruin your mind irreversibly. Constipation is the least of the problems. Never use it, ever.

Heroin and especially heroin addiction is extremely dangerous, many people die. However, it doesn't have the deteriorating affects that you describe. Heroin users that don't die and are able to get over their addiction have few long term health affects. It's not at all like smoking or alcohol.

Bitwarden has also had an external audit.

With regards to Bitwarden, it has a wordphrase on the account which only you know. You can verify this when you connect to the cloud. You can run the server within your own cloud.

With the cloud, you can assume that the government has access to the encrypted database. If you have a strong password, it will take them longer to brute-force your database. We are talking about two governments here: the US government (most password managers are from US companies and are hosted in US clouds) and your own (who can attempt to ask for the data), this is no issue, but I believe you should by default not trust them. This is important because it should be part of your risk assessment.

It would probably be easier to attempt a MITM (with help of the password manager sysadmin). I've once seen a fake Lastpass login page (back when I used Lastpass).

Almost all password managers can import/export their database to CSV. This allows you to avoid a vendor lock-in.

It's only failure if you side with the overly dramatic guy on twitter complaining about non-interactive screens.

Everyone that's been to a shopping mall knows how consistently broken information touch-screens are. Suggesting they put interactive maps in a subway is just silly.

The digital maps are to show realtime service information, train-times, etc. It is an improvement, and if you want a printed map, you can just ask for one at the booth.

The whole "my map isn't in 4k" argument is whiny, at best.
Volkswagen Group is the biggest car company in the world at the moment, with Toyota a close second. Volkswagen owns 12 automotive brands. Pretty soon they'll also be the biggest electric car company in the world, purely because they're spending the most money on it:

https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/vws-91b-spend-evs-out...

They'll release multiple EVs across multiple brands every year from now on. Volkswagen's MEB platform is going to allow them to produce cars with equivalent range to Tesla's at a lower price point. Volkswagen says their battery cost is now below $100 per kilowatt hour:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/08/business/volkswagen-trade...

That's the advantage of the economies of scale Volkswagen will be able to achieve with MEB, both from in-house production and from licensing the platform to other manufacturers from small manufacturers like e.Go to large manufacturers like Ford.

"Why two beautiful young women though - that seems not to be likely due to chance and surely enough to make any rational person wonder what they hell is going on?"

What if a person likes to work with beautiful young women? That's generally part of why people are being called beautiful - because people feel elated in their company.

Let's not pretend that looks don't matter in this world. If you have two equally qualified candidates for a job, perhaps you take the prettier one.

Maybe there is also an effect on meetings. Haven't there been studies on how men behave differently in the presence of attractive women? Maybe it is strategy to bring attractive women to business meetings, to change the dynamics.

Just saying there could be any number of reasons.

Personally I feel it is OK to act according to one's preferences (within bounds of no coercion and so on). If you prefer to be surrounded by attractive women, you should be allowed to act accordingly. I know not everyone agrees. (and please, I am not defending Epstein, I don't think sexual exploitation is OK - I am talking here about the general setting of hiring young assistants).

Looks real slick! I started playing around with Base (no affiliation, found it via HN a couple of weeks ago) and it's nice to have something easy to integrate with for common stuff like user management etc., but the offline dev story there is lacking. Nice to see Appwrite provides a containerized solution for that, should make distributed dev (and testing!) a lot easier. I'm gonna set aside some time today to play with this, thanks for sharing!

License looks good too: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/blob/master/LICENSE
Not at all. First of all, it's unnecessary, but the idea itself is not very sound in the first place.
The only thing that (hopefully) is stored in the cloud with respect to password managers is the encrypted vault containing your passwords. Securing your vault with a strong master password in addition to a U2F like YubiKey seems to me a pretty safe way to store your important data.

Additionally, using an open-source password manager that you can audit alleviates any further paranoid concerns you may have. If you also worry about the cloud provider suffering a severe outage then you can always keep offline backups. Assuming that you have the expertise and time you can implement a solution yourself but it always depends on your threat model and your level of paranoia.
I believe the phrase "things that people already use" answers your question.

> To some people, a system with a security vulnerability isn't "working".

Yes, we have seen that argument more than a few times before, usually from someone justifying their personal agenda without regard for its impact on other people, despite the availability of less disruptive options. Ego is a funny thing.

Obviously, there are times when lack of immediate action would have dire consequences, but I think it would be disingenuous to claim that was the norm, or to claim that this Chrome change is an example.

At the outset, it seems like Games are complex as hell, in the sense that when a gamer shoots another gamer dead, there has to be freeing and re-allocation of processes/ resources, and with tens or hundreds of persons playing the same game over the internet , both the gaming architecture and network infrastructure’s gonna be complex.

This container is based on the official Python container, which is based on Debian.

Most Jupyterlab containers are either outdated, or run as Jovyan user and grant_sudo does not work. Or they are based on Alpine while most tutorials are Ubuntu (Debian) based.

It comes with some useful and tested Jupyter(lab) extensions for interactive notebooks or e.g. LaTeX or HTML editing. Unfortunately the run-all extension did not work.

For more comfort it installs libraries required to run the notebook from a requirements.txt file on startup. I hope that this way users will document the dependencies with their code.

Idea is also to only build a latest version of it, since it is not difficult to tag containers in local repositories.

I also didn't focus on Python-2 support since it is retiring anyways soon.

Might want to tune back in a bit; the demise of Epstein is one of the most kelptocratic things that's ever happened in the US. It doesn't even matter exactly how he died; there is no 'fact pattern' you can subscribe to that isn't a consequence of in-your-face public corruption.

Is this a slippery slope argument.

Because there is a world in difference from discontinuing a few extremists customers, to discontinuing service for something akin to Wikipedia.

Ask HN: Why no mobile phone can also be used as a DECT phone?
I just wonder since a long time, why no mobile phone also can be used as a DECT phone. Wouldn't it be nice to connect with your companys mobile phone to your companys DECT phone network. Now I have to carry my companys DECT phone and the companys mobile phone around. It can't be that hard to do it. Also the hardware is from different companys, so it's not "we can sell 2 phones". So why nobody does it?

> Users are currently resorting to crime to acquire their heroin because it's illegal, not because heroin inherently makes you evil.

That's not quite right. Heroin users definitely resort to crime to fund their addiction. They are not "evil" for being addicted, but they do become desperate. And if you're desperate, you're more likely to do "evil" things.

Most do not immediately resort to crime. Imagine you were addicted to some expensive substance. You'd likely try hard to keep whatever job you had to fund the addiction, then if that fails you'd pressure family to fund it. If family stops paying, then you'd sell whatever property you had. When that's over you may turn to illegal "jobs" such as prostitution or dealing drugs yourself. Only finally, as a last desperate resort, would you try to steal or commit other crimes.

Addiction is not "evil", but it results in desperation. When one is starving for bread, they're more likely push the boundaries of their morality to eat, maybe steal, and in extreme cases maybe worse. Desperation can make people do evil things.
Isn't this a tautology?

It's the same with all probanalistic descriptions of a phenomenon, isnt it?

You can use probability to model all kinds of things that you cannot (yet) directly model, cannot observe, and do not understand. It seems natural that it's a way to describe a system not well understood.

Classical education, for me, means exactly the sort of education where you would learn about the transition from republic to empire. We must have a different definition but I agree on the more general point that a lot of attention is being paid to the fall of Rome and we sometimes ignore the collapse of the republic.

I think part of it is that the end of the republic is so well documented, and that documentation so thoroughly studied and responded to up through the 19th century that it's hard to come up with anything really new to say.

The period immediately after the fall of the empire has precious few surviving contemporary accounts. Much is known only through archaeology or very fanciful writers like Isidore of Seville, and so there is a blank canvas to project one's hopes and fears.
Breaking open encryption to monitor activity between users and other sites is a completely different thing than having a provider handle hosting for your site.
I’m part of a four-person consultancy and we have a transparent deal on profit sharing for projects, depending on who does what part. We adjust the deal every few years when the nature of work changes, so it’s an ever evolving thing, but my feeling is that as long as everything is transparent, and can be changed if someone feels it’s getting unfair, people will be happy.
All these people saying many worlds and Copenhagen have identical predictions are totally ignoring this. If many worlds implies quantum immortality and Copenhagen doesn't, that's a clearly detectable physical difference.

The patch however sneakily removes the chance that the features existing and working on the competing processors are properly detected and used.

In free software it’s clearly evil.
The point is that the correct way of doing this is to check for the feature not for the vendor. It's perfectly legitimate for Intel to submit code that helps Intel CPUs, but glibc shouldn't be accepting code that unnecessarily favours one CPU vendor. The correct version of this code would just check for the feature rather, so that if AMD does support this it just works.

If someone had given her a book and askes her to read it and “change” would she? People always don’t understand why someone else can change while at the same time feeling frustrated at their own ability to change. Turns out change is hard and handing someone a book and calling it a say doesn’t really cut it.

Moreover, there’s probably a lot of things employees want to change about their boss and yet, they never hand him a book. This leads to bosses thinking the problems are never them.
Oh, I agree that just about all apps use JavaScript to some degree, but the question is whether that’s for progressive enhancement or as a fundamental requirement. Wikipedia for example works fine without JS (including editing). Pinboard is one of my favourite apps and uses hardly any JS. That one’s perhaps a bit niche, but hell, even Gmail and Facebook still maintain basic “HTML versions” that deliver reasonable (some might say better) user experiences without JavaScript.

I build single-page web apps for a living, so I’m by no means opposed to JavaScript, but I think the web would be worse off if browsers imposed it as a requirement.
> All the ways heroin can kill you are direct consequences of its prohibition.

Most people die from heroin by overdosing (taking too much). Very often, this is a result of mixing heroin with other drugs and pushing the limits of what a human body can tolerate. If it were legalized and regulated, maybe some accidental overdosing could be prevented, but there would be plenty of deaths.

Heroin is pretty different from other drugs because it's pretty easy to die from it. It's nearly impossible to die from smoking marijuana. Even alcohol is safer if you're not driving a vehicle: you're far more likely to pass out before you get alcohol poisoning.

Heroin is significantly more dangerous. A slightly higher dose or a new formulation can easily kill you.
I use a hybrid approach with Lastpass used as a password entropy storage. For important services like Github I only store half of the password in LastPass. Then I add a nonce and a generic short password.

The final password is 12-16 random characters for LastPass + 3 chars Nonce that I generate from the service name (in my head) and a short 5 character password.

If LastPass leaks the secrets no one is able to take over the accounts easily.

For services that don't matter much I just store the whole password in LastPass.
