I disagree with the notion that just because they break that I'm "doing it wrong". Please listen to the customer. Rather, I'd say that they're just not rugged enough for my (consumer) standard of use, which needs to be more rugged than office use. I have legitimate needs to engage in sports while devices are plugged in and accessible. Other consumers get stuff bitten by children and pets, stepped on, tangled, and caught in things. That's consumer life. It should be accepted as a valid design problem to make a product rugged enough to tolerate that. Often a simple change in housings and shrouds would deal with this problem inexpensively -- in the case of USB, all it would take is for the shroud to be a part of the standard itself, and the housing it mates with to hold and relieve strain on the shroud.

What about IEC cables? They're super rugged and virtually impossible to break. Proportionally downsizing that connector to be small enough would likely maintain the same level of ruggedness while being small.

I'd appreciate if people don't downvote me just because you disagree with me. That discourages useful discussion on HN. I downvote trolls and people who abuse the system with spam, not people I disagree with.
Keeping component count low? To do a 3.5mm jack you have to include a DAC of some sort. USB-C headphones come with their own.
This is the reason why I cancelled my Prime account. I could not trust the electronics I buy on Amazon. Too many fake items sourced directly from shenzhen. Now I go directly to the manufacturer's website and pay full price (which is usually about $10 more), and at least I know I'm getting the real thing.
This isn't really a typical Venture funding, and is definitely not a "Series A". Traditionally, at this point, 1Password would probably have just gone Public, without any need for venture funding. But, why go to the hassle of doing that when you can get most of the same benefits ($$$) without any of the pain (public reporting, SOX, etc...).

The VCs at this point would be happy with a 3-4x return, because the risk is minimal - companies at this level of maturity, profitability, market dominance, and growth are highly unlikely to fail. So, if they picked up (for arguments sake) 25% of the company, giving it pre-money valuation of $800mm, all they really need to do over the next 3-4 years is build an $3.2B company, which, given 1Password's dominance/quality of product - should be relatively straightforward.

Their killer organic entry is: "Everyone" is already using them for personal password management, which means cost of training/installation/use is trivial to add the Enterprise element.

As a personal user, I consider 1Password the GitHub of password management - sure, there are lots of GitHub competitors, and you can roll your own - but, when there is one product that has completely nailed it - why bother going with anyone else.
Is college worth it? A study with surprising results
At my old company, we would do hiring screens by having people send us simple code exercises in whatever language they'd like. Every once in a blue moon, I'd see a good Java sample, but most of them were bloated crap.

FWIW, the JavaScript samples were also pretty bad because it was before async/await, and they'd all get twisted into callback hell waiting for IO.

With current CPUs, yes. Adding either a speculation barrier instruction, or even better, more fine grain ways than a process to describe memory protections (like segmentation) would go a long way.
Suddenly number of wheels is analogous to cores...

Motorcycle - fast for gaming

Car/SUV - good general purpose

Truck (dually) - serious work (probably fun)

18-wheeler - move a load of loads at once

But apparently that makes the Ryzen 9 3950X a 16-wheel Porsche Cayenne Turbo S? Super fun to drive but you can use it to haul...
I'm experiencing the Gell-Mann effect in this comments section where HNers recollect events just 15 years ago yet say things like "Nokia was nonexistent in USA" and "people didn't really text / use flip phones much".

It makes me question any HN historian chiming in on the past when people are so wrong about such a recent era.

Man, this was the era that was so ubiquitous with flip phone usage that "free ringtones" were the biggest spamsite genre of the time and entire kiosks at the mall existed to sell you custom faceplates and vajazzling decor for your phone.

I think one thing at play is that people regularly extrapolate their microscopic local experience into broad wisdom about the world. Nobody in their social circle had a Nokia? It was dead in USA. Nobody in their social circle texted much? Nobody did. They don't like spinach? Kids would never eat salad (which I just saw in another thread). Maybe it's a bug in the human software.
No, felid refers to a member of the felidae family.

You're forgetting about the low budget CPUs used for desktop PCs. AMD has a pretty good standing with their Vega GPUs built into the Ryzen/Athlon APUs.

Or are you only talking about enthusiasts?
What the F are you going on about? The parent suggested that going with a big outfit early on was a recipe for slow growth. I responded that, if you have the chance to land with a major pub early on, you should probably grab it. Of course, most will not have that opportunity and--perhaps more than many fields--may well have to work their way up. And, if that sounds singularly unappealing, maybe it's not the profession for you.

Leaving aside the question of whether, say, Google is actually a great place to work or not, I'd say more or less the same thing to a would-be software developer who didn't want a job in the field unless they could get a top-paying position at Google HQ.
Yes, there is a tradeoff sometimes between security and convenience, and OpenBSD chooses security by default, and things usually just work. But Ubuntu is probably more convenient/easy for some things (or debian or devuan anyway: I've been burned by ubuntu, and even debian, where devuan seemed to "just work" the most... more tradeoffs always.)
I would not describe grapefruit or melons as “sweet” at all.

Ian,

What are your thoughts on the question of whether Intel may be strategically timing releases of some mitigations to favor their performance in review benchmarks?
Hah... yeah the analogy gets silly if you make it literal and stretch it too far. I was just using it to talk about how different types of devices specialize for different use cases.

Phones: ultra-portable communication and rapid service interaction device -- basically a pocket terminal. Skill level: beginner / non-technical.

Tablets: casual computing devices suitable for reading, writing, some forms of content creation, and games. Skill level: beginner / non-technical.

Desktops/Laptops: more powerful and flexible devices for serious content creation, high-end gaming, development, heavy number crunching, etc. Skill level: intermediate to advanced users. They're still relatively easy to use for casual use cases but they have more knobs, expose more details, and have less training wheels / guard rails to keep you from breaking things.

Servers: big machines that sit in one place in a data center, office, or basement and run lots of stuff. Skill level: mostly advanced users.

SBCs like the Pi: hobbyist devices for hacking, DIY IOT, DIY automation, etc. Skill level: mostly advanced users.

Then of course there's a long tail of specialized and smaller devices like watches, FitBits, IOT, etc.
In addition to the points already mentioned, a good bit of Apple's software depends on Intel-proprietary features, e.g. QuickSync for video encoding. So far, no macOS system ever shipped with an AMD CPU, and porting the OS and user-mode application stack is not trivial.
The work switching is nontrivial in costs and arrangement.

There is some inherent in a "research what you need for your occupation" but it is specialized and divergent over time. So while plumbers may learn to work with sonar robodrones once they come out and become the norm or doctors with nanoprobes if things advance the foundation often atrophies to not in fact being smarter than a 5th Grader.

I am not sure how well it can be combined with work given that it is extrinsic to its many varied purposes that are already an incentives and strategic mess.

The "best" way to enforce learning when it is fundamentally misalligned would involve a bueracratic gatekeeping hell sure to spark rebellion both overt and covert. Good luck in China let alone a liberal democracy.

A less foregone dystopian way would be to subsidize general learning but even that would have opportunity and systemic costs that would limit uptake without obvious payback.
I think you are confusing anti-competitive control pursuing forces of capital-backed companies and capitalism in general with natural forces. Centralization is unnatural, this is why animals are territorial and people don't all live in the same one country. And why capitalist ideology requires propaganda and force to keep people from revolting. Nobody wants to submit to somebody and give them all the control they want.

And it's not hard to make things decentralized, federation is not that intrusive for example, it's hard to find a way to fund and sustain it when everyone from the system who can fund it also wants centralization, dominance and control.
There is another threat when things go wrong (and they eventually always do) - no matter how horrible some dictator is, eventually he/she will die, and at some point things get reshuffled by war/revolution/some other more peaceful means.

With AI, it would try its best to preserve/enhance/spread itself forever. And its best might be much better than our best...

Hyenas and mongooses are feliforms and can taste sweetness, as can all caniforms (I think). Presumably that means that the carnivoran ancestor could as well.

I'm not a biologist, but the lack of that gene is very conserved across all Felidae, I think (i.e. there isn't a single felid that can taste sweetness) which usually indicates that there's some evolutionary pressure.

Many of the things that we eat that have “sweet” as part of the flavor profile also have fats as part of ingredients - those are things that cats do taste and recognize.

When one looks at cat treats, the fat component is higher than non-treat cat food.
Design patents have been a thing for eons. They're a lot harder to enforce than the usual utility patents.

I actually print and use paper maps a lot, specifically topographic maps. We do a decent amount of backcountry riding, and while not completely accurate, the USFS and USGS maps have various trails marked on them that are useful.

USGS publishes nicely formatted quadrangle-sized PDFs when smaller areas are enough, and CalTopo provides custom PDF generation when it’s more useful to specify a range. These I print at home on a 24” Epson 7800 and some paper I really like for the purpose (iGage Weatherproof Paper).
Seems like any e-commerce aggregator (e.g. eBay, craigslist, etc) has the same counterfeiting problem - at least Amazon is offering a solution.
Cats are weird. My cats will gag if you hold fruit near their nose. Same goes with most people-food. They are interested in meat though.

When I was younger, we had a cat would get into literally any food available. Fruit, cheese, Doritos, salad.

Though, people are weird, too.
I mean I'm no chip designer but surely they are using some crazy hacks like transistors that take up more space than the lines between them by being part of the substraight above and below the etched lines. And presumably they use interference/coherence to etch even finer details? There are probably about a million different techniques they use to pack in more transistors without making the process smaller.
Kinda feels like the Wal-Mart episode of South Park, where they burn it down and all go back to shopping at a Mom-and-Pop shop: the M&P shop grows to keep up with demand, gets too big, and then they burn it down again.

It seems that the fate of every decent Password Manager is to be acquired by some rent-seeking company and have its userbase gouged.

I suppose we can all start packing up to make the move to Bitwarden. Until it's bought.
I saw that gallery of Manchester the other day, that's pretty amazing. But yeah, brick / stone walls shouldn't be pressure washed too often; if they're historical, they should be restored and / or carefully cleaned instead.
As a beginner, until I heard that advice a little while ago it hadn't occurred to me. I disagree advice that doesn't clarify everything has no value. It transforms an unknown unknown into a known unknown that you can fiddle around with or Google further to learn about.

Bitwarden will be the most recommended. I tried it to move off of 1password a few months ago, there was a time where 1password kept breaking the extension in every OS I was using. I can't remember exactly what was missing but there were several things I was used to in 1password that weren't available in bitwarden that made it feel clunkier to me.

It's UI is definitely the closest you'll get to 1pass. I think a big reason I couldn't use it was the Android app is built off Electron and doesn't currently support Android fingerprinting.. So I'd have to fingerprint into 1pass to grab my Bitwarden pass..

I am sure they are quite happy. Users? Not so much.

Getting at great contributions is now much harder. I use Quora much less now.

Churn 'n burn for traffic dollars is a strategy.

Suppose it opens a door somewhere too. Do that enough, and there is clearly room for a less noise filled source.

IMHO, the difference here is Quora has a plausible, casual user case that makes sense. The people who helped to build Quora content won't give two shits and will move on, but Quora itself may do just fine. Meh.

Degrading the value to current users of SO to attract more in general, leads where for SO?
> Do we have evidence cats’ ancestors had such a receptor?

They say that all mammals studied so far, including ones close to cats, have the gene except cats... This seems to almost demonstrate that cats must have lost that gene at some point.
transparency requires a per-unit sticker with a unique code. Brands do not generally share exact volumes per product or their production rates.
I see this as a problem with trust. Decentralized systems require less trust for them to work (think consensus mechanisms) but ironically users today don't trust the tech because it is still early IMO, centralized systems need more trust. People these days are using centralized systems because they trust the centralized system (FB, Google) more then the decentralized tech.
This is more so an interpretive piece than anything. At 1am I stumbled on versionmuseum.com, and suddenly had the idea to see how well 2005 YouTube's layout of information and general style would transfer to today's YouTube's conventions.

My experience watching a shop deal with transitioning to new Macs was that it was impossible to actually know a macbook+cable+device combo would work until you tried it. You could research all you wanted and there was still a chance it'd fail, or be glitchy and weird, unless you found someone with exactly the same combo to confirm that it worked fine.

Ditto dongles to connect to older devices. Will it work? No way to know, just try it and find out.

Jupyter could form the basis of an interesting publishing pipeline for this kind of a review using various Python viz libraries. For user-contributed content, it would be interesting if you could "fork" an existing publication and add your own color to it. But somebody would need to pay for the compute and storage for this to work, as well as enable the kind of advertising / layout requirements that drive the business side of sites like Anandtech.
The lack of genes for language, flight and laser eyes are also conserved across all cats, but I'm sure that those would be advantageous.
Don't forget to value yourself. The relationship between you and your advisor is deeply personal, especially for you.

It is important to periodically evaluate whether or not your situation is a good one. If it is not, it may be time to make a change.

The structures of academia can lead to outcomes where good-intentioned people to take actions (or often, inactions) that are, in an absolute sense, abusive. When academia is good, it can be great, but is essential to recognize when things are not okay and take steps to make them better. Communication is often a great first step.

A wise friend once passed on an aphorism that has been useful to me: "Hope is not a strategy."

Not trying to be snarky, but:

I suspect the current format is the way it is because it’s easier and “good enough”. I feel if you reach out to Phoronix you might get a response.

The best reading, this is a case what we would call "whataboutism". Do note, packaging companies and excessive use of single-use plastics is horrible and absolutely should get fixed.

But one can also make local changes about your life that also reduce your impact. Well, if you care.
3. " have higher iron density "
Actually, it doesn't surprise me in the least. Very many foods contain much more Fe than meat. But density is, largely, irrelevant. Stainless steel is 98% Fe but, if you swallow a small bar of it, you'd poop it right out without absorbing mg of Fe.

What matters is the "effective density" or, for a given gm of food, how many mg of Fe does your body take from it?

4. " too much iron can be harmful"

Indeed. And very many fascinating studies are coming out associating Fe with very many modern ailments (the modern post-industrial age fellow eating meat in excess).

Women do excrete quite a bit of it though and they, and growing kids, need iron.

2. I'm not doubting that vegans can be healthy, but its not universally true. There are people who cannot absorb non animal sourced iron. these people don't stay vegans for very long (they either die, or quit). Either way, those who cannot absorb iron don't stay in in the vegan pool [0].

I'm guessing your link refers to this point. The study is culturally dependent (a study on healthy Chinese men eating real Chinese food).

Also, non-healthy people didn't get recruited to the study (therefore selecting the sample for people who can absorb vegetable iron)

[0] This point is important. Let's say you have a group of people which includes people with weak-ish livers. These people feel sick when their livers are stressed.

Now you do a study on the effects of moderate alcohol consumption vs. total abstinence. The people who feel ill when their livers are stressed are, all else being equal, more likely to be teetotalers.

Well your sample of moderate drinkers now, on the whole, are being drawn from a healthier population. This skews your result.

Re IPv6, I don’t expect connectivity to suddenly appear. The NATs will be gone, but I bet you that every single home router will get a firewall with a default “block incoming” policy. A new network protocol does not make all the security bugs disappear overnight.

And for users, it does not really matter if they have to visit router admin page to set up NAT port forwarding or open up the port in firewall.
