>They do this because they value the expertise and depth that the dealers can [sometimes] provide.

You mean the expertise they claim to provide. Dealership mechanics are generally junior mechanics; the really good, highly-experienced mechanics, go work at or start their own independent shops where they get much better pay.

The big reason that you'd want to visit the dealer rather than an independent mechanic is because you really, really, like spending more money than you have to. There's a reason they're called "stealerships".
Keepass2Android is the name and it supports WebDav (so easy integration with for example Nextcloud)
Another positive aspect of gradually ramping up spending is that you slowly and safely learn how to use money. Your behaviors have to be calibrated to your income and wealth to avoid wasting money.

Although the person overspending is probably using credit or living paycheck to paycheck, there is the rarer but more acute problem of windfalls. If you receive a windfall without previously having experience with money, there's a good chance you will fritter the windfall away.

A common way this happens is when professional athletes overpay for a mansion after signing a contract. Five or so years later the mansion is sold for a huge loss or sits on the market for years with an unrealistic selling price.
It’s not entirely a state of mind. There is a qualitative difference between having an investment income approximately equivalent to a middle-class salary, and not having it.

Certainly you can find people who would feel miserable with that amount of money, and people who could thrive on a small fraction, but it would give most people a freedom that very few ever get.
I think, especially in the light of how it was targeted, a better analogy would be the act of popping a message from the Democrats when visiting the Republican RNC website or vice-versa.

I find it oppressive - the mere "reminder" wants to interfere, it wants to to take away your ability to think for yourself and make up your own mind.
I don't understand how HN can complain about Google sucking up data and rarely if ever mention LassPass's terms of service which basically flat out state they share your info to marketers. Effectively they appear to be making money by looking at all the sites you log into via LassPass. If you're using their browser plugin I can only guess, given their Terms of Service, that they're spying on all pages, not just pages you're getting a password via their service for. Though even selling the info of which services you're using is bad enough.

Sure, they have a free plan and so you are not the customer. Why do they get a pass?

Note: I have no proof they are spying. I only have the fact that their TOS points to their privacy policy and their privacy policy says they can collect pretty much anything you'd expect software to be able to collect and that they can share that info with whoever they decide to partner with.

Contrast to some other password managers that stay flat out, they don't collect your data and don't want to know it.

From their Privacy Policy

> 1. Information We Collect and Receive

> Service Data (including Session and Usage data):

> When you use our Services, we receive information generated through the use of the Service, either entered by you or others who use the Services with you (for example, schedules, attendee info, etc.), or from the Service infrastructure itself, (for example, duration of session, use of webcams, connection information, etc.) We may also collect usage and log data about how the services are accessed and used, including information about the device you are using the Services on, IP addresses, location information, language settings, what operating system you are using, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data ...

> Third Party Data: We may receive information about you from other sources, including publicly available databases or third parties from whom we have purchased data, and combine this data with information we already have about you. We may also receive information from other affiliated companies that are a part of our corporate group. This helps us to update, expand and analyze our records, identify new prospects for marketing, and provide products and services that may be of interest to you.

> Location Information: We collect your location-based information for the purpose of providing and supporting the service and for fraud prevention and security monitoring. If you wish to opt-out of the collection and use of your collection information, you may do so by turning it off on your device settings.

> Device Information: When you use our Services, we automatically collect information on the type of device you use, operating system version, and the device identifier (or "UDID").

That's pretty much everything given they put an extension in your browser and can collect all of that info for every page you visit

> 4. Information Sharing

> ... We may share your personal information with (a) third party service providers; (b) business partners; (c) affiliated companies within our corporate structure

Why would anyone want a password manager with this privacy policy?
And he's not even right. There is no hassle only if you take plenty of risk and rely on a random crappy acme client to do it well, its dependencies to always work, disks, OSes, servers not failing, acme protocol not changing and not deprecating anything.

Otherwise you need some infrastructure: logging, monitoring, some way to manage upgrades, backups, testing recovery, oh and those private keys are better not be leaked anywhere, so you need encryption for backups, which brings key management and so on.
We need to separate Brouwer's construction of the choice sequences from his philosophical justification for them; in the transition between the two there were just things he couldn't have known. His entire conception of choice sequences was because the mathematician's mind is finite. He couldn't have based his choice sequences on computation because the notion didn't exist yet, but if it had, he wouldn't have needed "lawless sequences". There is just nothing that requires them either in his chosen axioms or in his philosophy -- their salient feature is that one cannot predict their behavior, something that, after Turing, we know is true even for "lawful sequences" but Brouwer didn't. I, therefore, do not think it is correct to say that he wasn't a finitist because he relied on randomness. As far as he knew, randomness was consistent with a finite mind, the finiteness is what mattered to him, and anyway, he cared about undecidability, not randomness, but didn't know the former can exist without the latter.

What is essential to his philosophy is that the only justification for the axioms can come from nature by way of empiricism, and is therefore finite. If you accept Russel's, Brouwer's and Hilbert's belief that mathematics contains Truth, and if you then accept Brouwer's belief that the only source of truth is nature by way of empiricism, you have no choice today but to reject both LEM and induction. It is perfectly fine to work in constructive mathematics, and, in the Turingian sense it is of value, but it is no longer justified by Brouwer's philosophy of mathematical truth. Brouwer would have had to reject today's constructive mathematics on the same grounds he rejected classical mathematics: its axioms are unjustified by nature and empirical observation, even in principle. In fact, I don't think there is any philosophy of mathematics that could distinguish between constructivism and classical mathematics on any reasonable philosophical grounds today.

I would say that Brouwer's philosophy is (with today's knowledge) constructivist and ultra-finitist. BTW, Brouwer was not opposed to formalism as much as he was to logicism, and he even tried to propose a way to reconcile the two ("Intuitionistic reflections on formalism", 1927).

I don't think that's strictly the only interpretation. In the same sense that some things are mechanized and something things are not, some objects can have consciousness while some do not.

Consciousness is certainly less unique in this interpretation but I'm not sure that means its so uninteresting that we must say a rock is conscious.

That said, I think the OP is conflating free will with consciousness which I think is a mistake. I think its more useful to keep the definition of consciousness as only a sense of self. Even if universal determinism does not exists, one could imagine an AI built in classical physics that exhibits a sense of self deterministically.
I've worked in security for years. This isn't really true. The majority of all security breaches are caused by internal threats, not by some hacker group breaching your firewall. Malicious actors tailgating someone into an office and stealing an unlocked laptop, or an unlocked laptop being stolen while at a coffee shop or airport, is also a very common occurrence I've seen at most of my clients.
The current title is a quadrouple-negative:

I'd try and get that to zero negatives - perhaps "Supreme court continues allowing homeless sleeping in public spaces"? (Though I'm sure there is some legal nuance between "won't ban" and "allows"...)

Saving money, even from a salary job, gives you the breathing room you need to take economic opportunities. For example, if you save a year of expenses you can start a software business without external capital or connections.

> make -R -r -p

I think GP is saying that since 'right to organize' is in the company policy, then adding this seems right in line with the job.

If, indeed, this was not in the company policy, and it is indeed the employee's opinion, then yes, termination is apt.
I’ve got keepass set up so that any change to the kdbx file automatically triggers a second save to my Dropbox sync folder. That way any changes on my PC auto-push out, and I can always get them from my phone.

The downside is that my phone doesn’t easily sync back to my PC, but it’s vanishingly rare that I create a new account (and so kdbx update) on my phone these days.

Well-respected publications should have internal checks and balances. They don't. My favourite spectacular failure was when NPR, of all organisations, falsely claimed that Michael Cohen's guilty plea showed Donald Trump Jr. had lied to Congress. It was a very convincing article which rapidly went viral - Cohen had said that specific negotations were ongoing in 2016, and they had a quote from Trump Jr's testimony which seemed to say they weren't. Except that quote was from his reply to a question specifically about negotations other than those ones, which he had already told Congress about. Even the slightest scrutiny of the key quote the entire accusation revolved around would've given the error away. They didn't give it that scrutiny.

The Unicode consortium has guaranteed that there are many properties they won't change once they're released. Even if the property value is objectively wrong.

More to the point: the standard library of Rust relies on no properties of Unicode that will change--there's no builtin normalization, case folding, grapheme cluster support, etc. So there's no data tables in the standard library that need to be updated. The only assumption Rust makes of Unicode is that no assigned codepoints will be changed, and that the space will not grow beyond the current limit of U+10FFFF.
Yes because Google never spys on you...
What you're describing already exists - just have news groups publish to `github` or some other `git` server (They could even host their own), and then anybody who wants can clone it.
Basically, on server side, I have templates like this:

users.page.tmpl (in Golang):

{{template "admin" .}}

{{define "title"}}Users{{end}}

{{define "main"}}
<users></users>
{{end}}

Then I have a Users.vue that does the heavy lifting with API calls on loading existing data when component mounts etc.

Using this, I can use server side routing as needed and no need for client side routers or SPA etc.

Having lived through the CoffeeScript thing, the main issues were:

1. CoffeeScript required a compile step; JavaScript didn't. It also meant that you needed to do your debugging in JavaScript, and deal with a lot more leaky abstractions. On the other hand, Kotlin and Java both compile directly to JVM bytecode.

2. CoffeeScript had a lot of features that work very unpredictably, like a number becoming an array of numbers if you add more lines at the same indentation level (which also means that your array will surprisingly become not an array if you delete too many entries). A lot of people only used CoffeeScript because there was no alternative, rather than actually liking it, and they were the first to jump ship when ES6 gave them an alternative.

Kotlin doesn't have any of these issues. It really is an improved Java.
I really think this logic is more about avoiding spending decisions that can change you from middle class to poor rather than the other way round.

It was a bad corporate ecosystem that caused the crash. The people at fault were the accountants that tweaked lines un Excel until they got the numbers they wanted amd then pressed reality into the service of those numbers. Bad software didn't eliminate pilot training on the new systems. Bad software didn't shortcut the required FAA safety certification on the system. Bad software didn't reduce the number of redundant sensors that fed the system.

Bad beancounters did all that. C-levels in suits who got million-dollar bonuses for killing 346 people to gain marginally increased quarterly results. Don't blame the software.

I feel like education has an important role in this perception, too. I grew up in an environment with $10-$100 problems, and now I still compare the prices of what I buy in the $1-5 range, even if spending $400 on a gift once a month wouldn’t significantly alter my finances. This is some sort of conditioning where you _feel_ like being at some level while in fact being above it.
Reddit’s Best Mindblowing Facts of All Time
So what's your argument here? That it's impossible to run out of resources? Or that we don't need to worry because human's always have and always will innovate their way out of every problem?

It seems extremely intellectually dishonest to go "just because something has never happened means it'll never happen and we don't need to worry about it" - do you think it's possible that we need these fears to innovate our ways out of things?

The only reason the ozone layer is getting better is because people were made aware of the problem and did something about it - if we hadn't become aware of the issue it wouldn't have reversed by magic. We need to be aware of these things and work towards a solution - which means acknowledging they could happen.
One of the best definitions of “rich” that I’ve come across is a top 1% income based on a perpetual withdrawal rate of dividends alone (about 3%). This puts the wealth threshold around $15m for most US states and around $25m for the Bay Area.
Not the OP, but I dropped 1Password when it became clear you're forcing folks to cloud storage. I was sort of hoping the carefully chosen weasel-words about that used at the time meant you'd reconsider if enough of us made noise, but later releases made it clear where you're headed.

It bummed me out - I really like 1pw. And I still don't have my password situation back to the same level of ease-of-use yet, but I switched to control the timing. Storing my password DB on other people's computers is simply not going to happen.
That's certainly not the case, not even close. Unions are regulated by law almost everywhere which makes them an inherently political issue.

But if you look at, say, the UK, then unions actually fund one of the major political parties and have tremendous influence over it. Unions have in the past managed to topple elected governments. Beating the unions was Margaret Thatcher's flagship effort when she was first elected. And union membership has been in steady decline.

It's certainly not a USA specific thing. Union/management wars in the UK got very nasty indeed.

I grew up on a citrus farm and I can tell you CAT equipment makes Apple look like an open hardware platform. Parts where unavailable to non dealers they used patents to stop aftermarket and where hostile to hardware hackers that fixed flaws in their design. This was all while they where mechanical. I cannot imagine what it is like owning a CAT machine now that they are computerized. I know my grandfather tended to stick to Massey Ferguson and Minneapolis Molean's for that reason. We only bought CAT and Deere equipment if it was a specialty piece that could not be duplicated with an all purpose tractor like a MF or MM. Which is really CAT's bread and butter. They like the machinery that no one else produces and locking you in to support. They caught onto this long before the automotive and electronics world ever did.

On seed stock it get's even worse, if you are next to a GM farm and get cross pollinated then your stock is tainted and you have to reseed again with clean seeds that will just get tainted in the next spawn.

We did not have this problem with citrus because it is not grown from a seed, all citrus is root-stocked and then hybrid to make sweet citrus. I know it is an issue for corn and grain farmers who do not want to grow GMO crops.
