I don’t have long hair anymore but also read through this and thought, “this guy must have a shaved head.”

In order to rinse hair clean, you need quite a bit of water. If the shower is too low-flow (like dorm or gym showers often are in California), it takes much longer to do a good job, which kinda defeats the purpose of saving water.

I moved away from 1password when they switched from license to subscription pricing.

There's nothing wrong with subscription pricing, especially when paired with cloud syncing. Bandwidth and cloud storage aren't free and the app is definitely worth the $2.99/mo.

It was a great move for them, just not for me since I don't sync my passwords over the cloud.
Yea, they still advertise and have tons of devices in retail locations. None of the big tech reviewers cover any Motorola products though; which is odd. When was the last time you saw Linus or Dave2D cover one? I think Marcus is the only big YouToober I've seen do reviews on them.
>It's the centralization that becomes the stable status quo.

I wouldn't go as far as 'stable'. Centralization is very susceptible to entropy and therefore there needs to be a constant renewing/repairing force so that the structure does not collapse on itself.

Centralization is a big reason why Communist regimes fail after a few decades (even when they get big immediate gains)
> by no means is water scarce in many regions

What regions have this apparent overabundance of drinking water? And how's their waste water management? (Of which there is a lot more if people shower more).

> while there is a certain amount of energy needed to heat the water for a daily shower it is very simple to obtain from carbon-neutral sources.

Is it? Where can I get one of these magical devices today? And do they work reliably in all climates? Specifically in those where drinking water is apparently abundant and where waste water treatment is free?
Thanks, but I'll stick with my Commando 450:

But seriously, even I get concerned with the green movements when they seem to be coming for each part of my life I hold sacred-- a nice warm shower (or two!) is a highlight of my day.

And to rationalize: I am also constantly looking for ways to reduce energy usage, so I looked into capturing the heat lost from a shower. First I measured the difference in the shower head outlet temperature and the drain temperature. I found about 75% of the heat is released before even entering the drain. So it goes into my body (yay), the air, or the floor system. I suspect the majority of the next 25% is released in the drain system that is either part of the conditioned space of the house or in the semi-conditioned crawlspace. So the heating cost/fuel of the water is offsetting my HVAC cost/fuel. Additionally, the shower boosts humidity which is the #1 energy efficient method of feeling warmer in a cold, dry house.

Notes:
If you can leave the water to cool down by not draining a tub, you'll gain even more. Or take a bath.

If you're using electricity to resistant-heat your water (highly inefficient), you should address that first.

This doesn't apply in the summer, so I bathe in the outdoor pool, usually.
For reference: https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/graphs/code-frequency
> This is really getting ridiculous.

What's getting ridiculous here is the definition of "greenshaming". If you find the mere description of a more energy efficient alternative shameful, that's on you, not on the author of the article.

> By no means is water scarce in many regions of the earth

And in many places it is. What's your point?

The point of the blog is to point out and remind us of low-tech and obsolete solutions to conserve energy and depletable resources. As the article points out, you can "steamify" a regular shower at low cost and waste less freshwater. Whichever energy source you use to heat water then, you'll need less of it.

You're not wrong. If the friction is low, user harm is minimal because they can move easily (the import from 1Password to Bitwarden was painless), and you're just burning someone else's VC dollars, I ain't even mad. No extra credit for making life harder than it has to be.
It's like vehicles. Desktops/workstations and even most non-tablet laptops are now analogous to small trucks such as pickups. Tablets and phones are cars. Most people drive cars. Trucks are for work or people who like to haul stuff.

Servers and huge workstations I guess are like 18-wheelers and locomotives. :)

The "mobile is the future of everything" people were wrong. It's not that desktop is going away, but the market is re-segmenting. Most casual users don't need a desktop. They just need a UI device that can run apps and access services. So you now have a bisection of the computing device market into pro/workplace type devices and casual user devices. I suppose there's a third category too: hobbyist and enthusiast devices. That's where I'd put things like the Raspberry Pi or more techie geared laptops that run Linux.

I predict that rather than converging with mobile, desktop will actually pivot more toward pro, developer, and power user needs. Apple's recent 16 inch Pro release is a baby step in that direction on the hardware level. You'll probably see it at the software and OS level too. Desktop might actually shed a little bit of its user-friendliness gloss in favor of being unabashedly "pro." "If you don't want to know what a network, a folder, a file, or an IP address is, get a tablet."
>While the gaming market is (usually) seeking the highest top single core clock speed with respect to CPUs, it also relies on other expensive hardware. Meanwhile the dev/content creator/workstation market is much better served by these multi-core behemoths.

It's not really that cut and dried, plenty of dev workloads are better served by high top single core, while plenty of gaming workloads are better served by multi core.
That is something I have seen as well by "well meaning" wanting to promote volunteering and well outright authoritarians. They fail to think of what it is like being in the other's shoes.

Responsibility forced upon without the perks is just another burden. They miss the important aspect of it long term - agency and power in decision making. I know many forever turned off from volunteering as they view community service a punishment they were unjustly assigned.

The correct answer is to support them in something they are interested in.
> Check Point wanted to tamper with the code responsible for calculating hash block signatures or for comparing segments of hashes with verified ones to trigger an exploit.

So fundamentally it's a parsing exploit on untrusted user input. They should have been able to simplify and test this mechanism extensively enough to not have this type of vulnerability, because it doesn't sound like researchers even had to go to the level of the timing attacks that came up recently in a related area [0] [1].

The layer of the stack matters somewhat. You can make it easy to get John to deploy git to AWS. If it's easy enough, cheap enough, and the software were as nice as GitHub, that'd be a reasonable counter-force to centralization. The ship has sailed in the example you mention, but for future categories of internet applications, enabling easy self-hosting seems like a solid aspect to a multi-pronged strategy towards preventing centralization of those platforms. (Incidentally, this is what we're doing with hubs.mozilla.com, enabling self hosting as a means of pre-empting the rush towards centralized avatar communication services)
>I cannot provide a well informed comment, but I can offer this: I am not surprised at all that fund managers are slimy and dishonest.

And that explains why this article is on the front page of HN...not because the methods are accurate, but because the conclusion aligns with what people believe going in.

Fund managers very likely are slimy, but this paper is too flawed to prove anything. Read the rebuttal from Morningstar. In the paper Morningstar's data is being assumed true while the bond funds are being criticized, so when Morningstar comes out and says that their data has a pessimistic bias, and the bonds funds ratings reflect more complete information, it seems pretty damning for the paper's assumptions.

It's not reinforcement learning, because the child can do it the first time, so there's no reinforcement. I have kids, so many times I have played games with them successfully, purely from a description of the rules and playing as we went. They even beat me once the first time we ever played a game, by employing a rule at the end which had never come up in previous play. Compared to that Alphago isn't even in the race, because we can't even tell it the rules.

Lol, we should be asking you that question.

Spaced repetition seems promising. Or letting students learn at their own pace. Maybe going deeper down in details they're interested in. But we had those for decades and they never took off.

Maybe we should be looking more into learning than teaching.

I learnt a lot from Europa Universalis. I think people should be able to simply experiment more with things, see what happens when they tweak things, actually play.

We teach derivatives and integrals all the time, and yet nobody has mainstream software that illustrates how they work. The concept is easy visually, difficult in writing. It's used a lot in algorithms, but that's more because programmers make algorithms to illustrate to themselves the concept. We can do a good deal with physics, chemistry, and so on.
I've noticed both Disney and Nick do this. Whatever they produce will always do ok because of their marketing muscle. They target children who are not jaded yet and parents either tolerate it or don't notice.
I suspect most don't notice until their more experienced parents and by that time most parents are done with small children. I have 6 kids so this has become more noticeable to me.

They cartoons and shows my oldest 18 year old watched are totally differnt from the ones my 8 year and my 4 year old watch. They churn through things quickly and market things very slickly.
For example, they produce something for 14 year olds, that most parents think is ok for 12-14 year old kids, but most of those kids aren't really that interested in. Then they drop the marketing into their 8-10 year old programs and boom, it's a hit for them.

These companies, especially Disney, are very insidious and clearly manipulating young minds. We should be disturbed, but I find very little buy in from other adults.
Definitely not my idea though - couldn't find any good references to where I read about that idea.

Water is not scarce, no, but safe and consumable water is; usually that's groundwater, and at this moment groundwater is used at a higher rate than it's being replenished (and remember that it takes hundreds if not thousands of years for e.g. rainfall to become groundwater). There have been instances in hot summers where water pressure has been lowered to reduce consumption. And there's a water crisis in Cape Town (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Town_water_crisis) where they basically ran out of water.

So while most of us live fairly comfortably with running water, it's not something to take for granted. We had a long, very dry summer last year and it still has an effect on a lot of things. (in our case, dikes dried out too much which weakened them, enough to cause a problem in case of floods)
Google launches Skaffold in general availability
You bring up a really good point about backing.

Banks generally don't give out loans to any kind of small business that doesn't have > $100,000 in assets and/or some indication of past profitability. Note that this represents pretty much all internet businesses. So it's not surprising that little funding is available for startups.

What if angels simply got into the co-signing business? Like, why give a VC $1 million when you could co-sign $100,000 loans for 10 startups? Then write it up as 10% ownership in the company or something like on Shark Tank. Sorry I'm probably conflating terms, but we have kickstarter.com so I don't understand why we don't have something like a readily available angle fund website yet.

I'm also curious about government-sponsored programs (does anyone know any?). I imaging they work somewhat like the FHA down payment grants for first-time homebuyers:

https://www.bankrate.com/mortgages/first-time-homebuyer-loan...

If someone really wanted to stimulate the economy, I think internet startup down payment grants would go a long way towards that goal.
And I install one app per hundred sites that annoyingly prompt me to install their app so they can give me push notifications (or, worse, a working website because they didn't bother even trying to build their product as a website anymore because of the lack of push notifications; it is ridiculous). So? The site is going to prompt me either way. This argument makes no sense: of course I would rather get promoted for the one feature I don't want to give them instead of an attempt to upsell me on an entirely different experience after being served crippled content... that is a total no brainer.
I wasn’t clear, but I was writing from the perspective of an investor.

I agree with your overall synopsis of the status quo. We might however see gaming shift more to multi-core workloads as the next gen of consoles are highly likely to contain 8 core (16T) AMD CPUs based on Zen2 (and a lot of games are made for the lowest common denominator).

This shouldn't be confused with the 8 core APUs found in current gen. Next gen will have an 8 core CPU and a NAVI 12+ GPU.

> When good developers work on something it should get better over time

No doubt only the best developers can work on something like a compiler or an OS kernel. A lot of the times though OSS gets worse over time or is not improving at all. That includes some important desktop apps like Audacity and Inkscape. Both look like shit, buggy as hell, codebase is a mess, not improving over time, but their existence itself is important.

Not extrapolating this to GCC because I'm not familiar with its source any more.

My comment was tongue in cheek in case you didn't get it. Least of all I need unsolicited advice and moralizing.

I think this write up is very fair for a solid engineering team. Is it groundbreaking and eye opening? Absolutely not, I’d say the most “hmm I didn’t know that” part of the entire thing was the part about R-Trees and S2. Is that bad? Absolutely not. These guys did the work, logged their performance and are sharing their story.

However, and I believe this is where the animosity in the comments is coming from - given the elitist (for lack of a better term) attitude of these engineering types at these orgs (think of the poster children of the Valley), this is pretty...lacking. I mean, the part about using the Read/Write lock on the second attempt and instead trying to go with an installed package just screams Node.js, and honestly made me chuckle. I guess Leetcoding and Production Engineering really are different things. I genuinely expected more.
The important thing is that it's not taking jobs.
Not sure which country you are in but my girlfriend has problems so I've checked the options in the UK a fair bit. There a quite a few products labelled 'sensitive' and unperfumed in the shops here eg. shampoo, washing liquid and so on which are mostly good. Some other products I've failed on eg. bio washing liquid, toilet cleaner.
How practical is it really? Having to print and track individually serialized barcodes for every product you sell, sounds like it can be anything from a nearly 0 cost step to a complete logistical nightmare depending on the manufacturing process.
They don't need the money, I assume this is a CEO/founder cash-out. They have an established revenue stream, and have established an enterprise presence, they will be an attractive acquisition target. There's so much VC money floating around that a sure bet like this can attract that kind of money, and who would turn it down?

I'm still on the pre-subscription 1Pass and kudos to them that it still works, but like Dropbox this will become an enterprise service that will be too expensive for consumers. The good news is that password managers are now effectively a commodity, like cloud storage, so there are plenty of options.
I don't think they can be trusted to be either secure or reliable or even supported. Any of them could be remotely disabled at any time as the parent company goes out of business.

On the other hand, at the moment they're mostly in frivolous devices. As they become ubiquitous this is going to demand EU-level intervention, just like the existing WEEE directive against lockout chips on printer cartridges.

Americans will be stuck with caveat emptor levels of consumer protection.

> to avoid things exploding because a zero length variable might exist is a stupid and ugly hack.

That has less to do with POSIX compliance, as opposed to working around quirks with less-compliant historical implementations. Also, I think you'd have to dig pretty deep to find a test that doesn't support zero-length arguments; you'd be safe as long as you quote your variables.

The actual problem of ambiguity arises from variables that are also syntax, like '(', or '!', when using compound expressions (which you should avoid anyway).

# this is bad (also obsolete)
[ "$var" != foo -a "$var" != bar ]
# this is good (and fully POSIX compliant)
[ "$var" != foo ] && [ "$var" != bar ]
# you probably don't need to care for systems where this was necessary
[ "X$var" != Xfoo ] && [ "X$var" != Xbar ]
No More Easy Profits as China’s Venture-Capital Boom Fizzles
Honestly, I've not found any speed difference.

Things I don't like:

* Autocompletion is much worse than Safari. See screenshot comparison [1]. The results are dinky and hard to read, and rarely include history or bookmarks. For example, in the screenshot, if I type "p", it matches bookmarks and history, but the suggestions disappear if I type anything more, despite the fact that "photothera" is a substring.

* Brave's tabs (though the tab overview is nice). Mobile is just too small to show tabs.

* The fact that the location bar is filled with widgets that give only about 30% of the space to the URL.

* Syncing of bookmarks, history, etc. seems to randomly stop working. It's never really worked for me. Syncing should just work seamlessly with iCloud, and not require the manual step that it currently does.

* "Find in page" doesn't work for PDFs.

Plus, the privacy bugs (see my previous comment) that never get solved. Being aggressive about cookies is one thing; breaking non-abusive sites without any workaround isn't acceptable.

I don't really use private mode, so that's not relevant for me. I also don't use Brave Rewards, so the big icon in the address bar is annoying.
