Yes, it does. The integration with both Safari and Firefox on iOS is excellent. In Settings -> Passwords & Accounts -> Autofill Passwords you just change the backend from iCloud Keychain to Bitwarden, then it otherwise behaves substantially the same.

A big benefit of switching to Bitwarden is that you can also get it up and running on non-Apple machines. Kicking myself for not doing it earlier.

Just be aware that bulk exporting your passwords from iCloud Keychain is non-trivial.

The "elite", regressive left is eating their own as it spirals down the drain of culturally self-enforced "purity" norms? Color me thoroughly unsurprised.
Hum there is nothing wrong with allowing that app. However there is something very wrong with believing in astrology in a serious way.
Comparing countries like this does not make sense. The spread of the virus is more a reflection of how people live, what they do day to day, rather than what measures they took protect themselves.

Austria and Italy, share a border, have ski lodges in the same Alps. Austria got off easy even though they had a one of the first outbreaks, Italy got hammered for two months. Yet Italy locked down harder during all this time.

I don't know in what way is Norway different from Sweden, Norway looks and feels a lot more rural and sparse. Sweden more cosmopolitan.
This quote is so good from the interview with Rachel Lo, co-founder of Struck:

“I’ve always been a very science-focused person (I studied Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science), and used to be more opposed Eastern philosophies and traditions (which is a whole thing to unpack as an Asian kid growing up in a white community), but I started seeing the benefits to having a more readily available language to express empathy/emotions in the form of astrology.”

It very briefly describes why you shouldn’t be so dismissive of astrology. Even if it’s not a hard science, that doesn’t mean that it’s useless in other people’s lives. It helps them communicate real emotional needs and wants.
I've never ridden a segway before, but I can honestly say i've always secretly wanted to. Damn people look silly riding them, but they way they just effortlessly glide along looks fun to try at least once.

I think the marketing approach they took was part of the problem. I remember early segway ads and stuff, they always took this elitist 'we're going to change the world' sort of spin with their ads that was trying to appeal to a higher end market more interested in fads than anything else. They hooked the 'stubborn early adoptors' while alienating the larger market. At least in my opinion.

This is how their marketing always came across to me and probably helped form my opinions on segways and similar vehicles in general and I doubt I'm alone in my views.

The funny thing is, I bet if they'd found a way to appeal to the extreme sports market they may have found a small niche for themselves. Strange vehicles like this seem to keep a strange second life in that market.

I still see people occasionally riding those razor scooters that were popular for a while in the early 2000's, but, it's always people that are really good at them have spent lots of money customizing them and use them for trick riding. And of course, the skateboard, which has gone through a ton of designs and incarnations, but has been kept alive for half a century or more by people pushing it do the limits. Despite being fairly impractical for primary transportation and I tried for a while as a teenager.

I'm not sure if segways are the best for this, but I bet with some effort, they could have created a small market there that would probably still be popular.

On that note though, I do still see a fair amount of people riding devices clearly inspired by the segway, those handle-less varieties and other gyroscope balanced things and such. So, I think they're not dead so much as they've evolved and the concept of 'personal electric vehicle' has grown beyond what the segway originally was.

I do feel like the electric vehicle future they marketed is coming, they're just not the leaders they told us they'd be and instead of one strange new thing, we've got a variety of things now and on the horizon.
The United States had a very high employment rate leading up to the covid crisis. Lower than it had been during the 90s, but that was an anonymously propserous decade: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/employment-rate#:.... It stood at roughly 62%.

According to the same website India's current employment rate is ~50% (part of this likely due to gender imbalances) and you can bet that wages are much lower. The relevant metric is purchasing power parity adjusted household median income. It's roughly 50 times higher in the United States than in say India (less so for China and Russia).

I don't understand how you can see countries like China or India as presenting more opportunity with local wages. There are of course cultural reasons to want to move there, but I don't think there's any reasonable case that there's more economic opportunity. Some things will be cheaper for sure (rent and labor, namely) but consumer goods, food, electricity, and the like, will not be commensurately cheaper wrt the drop in income.
If you’re correct, then democracy will devolve into mob rule, which means anarchy. That’s not a pretty thought.
It is odd seeing someone who blogged under their real name, who released one of their best-known pieces of public writing under their real name, talk as if their real name was somehow discovered through sleuthing. I want to be careful how I respond to this but, let's just say, the amount of Google elaboration required to penetrate the veil of protective secrecy this person has created for themselves is not... uh... significant.
California has plenty of contact tracers and testing. Rt is still above 1.
> but the real reason is super simple: They were too expensive

Disagree. I wouldn't buy one if they were one-tenth the price (and I think that sentiment would be shared by many people). The real reason is that it was and is a stupid product, even if some of the technology involved was innovative.
Dated laws likely didn't help them.

Electric scooters have the same issues even though they are a more convenient form factor, they are illegal in a lot of places to ride on a public road / footpath / cycle lane. When I have walked to work in the morning I've seen many overzealous police officers pulling people over on electric scooters and the stacking fines even if they are being responsible and in cycle lanes.
I've never even heard of Magic Leap or Ooya, and all I heard about Juicero or Theranos was from the perspective of the rise and fall of them as speculative investments. Nothing aimed at consumers.

And I do vaguely remember the prelaunch hype for the Segway. There might be some rival other than the original Macintosh, but none of the four you name seem remotely similar to me.
> If you want to maintain a blog about a subject, if you want to speak out publicly and gain some sort of online rep, then you risk your identity being released.

No, you shouldn't risk your real-world identity being released. People have good reasons for having pseudonyms; Scott Alexander gave a number of them in his post explaining why he took down his blog.

Freedom of speech does mean being willing to stand behind your speech and defend it. But that can be done perfectly fine under a pseudonym. The reputation simply attaches to the pseudonym.

> If you want to be actually anonymous, I suggest not using facebook or any other online identity tied to your real name.

You do realize that you just contradicted yourself, right?
>That can be a link, it can be an old bookmark, etc.

Doesn't even have to be a link. If you type addresses like most be people do (ie. without https://), the browser is going to attempt http first. So any manually typed in address will be vulnerable as well.
Too many rounded corners for my taste.

Functionaly, I'm having trouble finding things. Half of it is just because it's new but honestly some of it is due to stretching information apart.

I'm saying it's naïve to believe this, along with the other incidents mentioned within the article, aren't intentional. As if the west is immune to concerted censorship efforts and the only explanation is unconscious bias.

Good. Make the tech giants pay towards the countries’ infrastructure they depend on. They can afford it.
heh, I spent 30 minutes in San Fran trying to learn to ride one of those Scoot moped electric scooter things. Almost fell in the garage several times. Thankfully, it's much easier on the street - more grip, and low-speed turns on an incline are probably the worst.

Still, it's scary to think about how dangerous they are and iirc you can ride them without any sort of motorcycle license.

Got pulled over for going down a "one way after dark" street. Asked the cop how I was supposed to know. He said "Natives just do." Didn't give me a ticket though.

Sorry, random unrelated memories.

> Everything we know about this story is entirely his portrayal and version of it.

This isn't true. Multiple other people on the SSC blog talked with the reporter, and they publicly compared notes on their impressions. Just because you haven't read these other sources doesn't allow you to claim that these versions don't exist.

Wait... Even the linked piece by Aaronson says: So in recent weeks, I’d spent a couple hours on the phone with Cade, answering his questions about the rationality community, the history of my interactions with it, and why I thought SlateStarCodex spoke to so many readers.

So presumably you have read reports from at least two people who had contact with the reporter. Why then do you say that it is solely "one party's representation"?
The types of posts that get downvoted on here is at times maddening.

This to me, is the only reply thus far that addresses what I also perceive to be the fundamental problem with Haskell - it doesn't provide any new convenient tools to solve real world problems, while requiring one learns a bunch of useless abstractions that aren't used anywhere else in industry as a default (monads, laziness, immutability)
Yeah, it's bullshit. I think once a company gets "big" and corporate enough, focus somehow dissipates away from actual usability into...something else. See also: all recent changes to Slack.

Maybe this is just because the best people are drawn to work on new products?

Another insane example of this is scrolling in the iOS AppStore app. If your finger happens to start a scroll on a button, the scroll is just completely ignored.

Apple used to write entire carefully-considered tech reports about how to handle this case (until the finger starts to move or some time has passed w/o moving, you're in a limbo state where a button tap or scroll can't be distinguished), but now they don't even try to get it right.
I remember way back on Slashdot when there was a teaser that there was this huge announcement coming that would revolutionize transportation and cause cities to totally be rebuilt around this new mode of transportation. The reality has fallen a bit short of the initial expectations ;-)
This doesn't make sense - the writer is hardly going to say its gonna be a hatchet job, and if he said it was going to be anything other than positive then Scott Alexander would have mentioned that as it would have made his caution all the more understandable.

There is no reason to disbelieve that the writer said it was going to be positive and that Professor Aaronson believed him from experience.
Considering that we haven't had untethered jailbreaks in forever now, I think even a restart would do.
I don't understand why a rational person would describe an astrology app as their "dream dating app," but clearly it's reasonable to allow it in the App store.
If you’re talking about time series databases then there are a number of them used in industrial settings called “process historians”, for instance, OSI PI.
Since the repo screen is now basically full width, why not add a simple commit stream on the left? (So make it three columns instead of two). The most important thing I look for when checking out a repo, is how much commit activity there is and what sort of things are being worked on. It gives you a good sense of the health of the project.

So in the middle you have the files, and the action buttons above that, on the right you have info on langs, the contributors, the "About" blurb, but on the left you could put a (live updating?) commit stream with just a small contributor pic and name, hash, time stamp (x days ago), and the first bit of the commit message.

EDIT: Instead of just a commit stream, why not add a "repo feed" on the left? Includes new issues, PRs, commits, etc. Live updates (animates new ones bumping into the top).

In my view, for SSC to be permanently deleted would be an intellectual loss on the scale of, let’s say, John Stuart Mill or Mark Twain burning their collected works. That might sound like hyperbole, but

You can stop right there.

I don't want to get into a prolonged litigation of the Slate Star Codex oeuvre. You can like it or loathe it. But at some point people on these threads need to speak up and say that this blogger is not in fact the second coming of John Stuart Mill --- or at least, that's not the universally held opinion of people in tech. I know, he goes on to hedge his claim the same way. But let's retain candor. You can employ hyperbole if you feel it helps a valid argument, but it remains hyperbole.
Microsoft has such deep pockets, they can probably afford to lose a bit here to get people to migrate to their platform.
This is it exactly. You may not try to hide the information that you transmit, but you sure as hell can make it obscure as fuck. Just imagine the fictional conversation:

FCC/CRTC: On July the 1st at 14:00 you transmitted an undecipherable message on 28MHz.

Amateur Radio operator: I used y-modem protocol to transmit an image using 7P1 (7bits Parity 1 Stop bit).

FCC/CRTC: but's that's stupid! Nobody has used that in 40 years!

AMO: But it wasn't encrypted. Good bye.
I think at minimum it allows people who match between sets of characteristics, and so if you happen to resonate or match with your astrological sign - and someone else does - and you've both read and know the stereotypical or associated traits, then to some degree you may better know what kind of person you're getting involved with; obviously there's a selection bias that people aren't "into" or match with their sign's defined traits won't believe in it, and so they'll filter themselves out of this filtering system.
It's a straight forward leap from my proposed cause. This virus spreads from from person to person, so if you don't expose yourself to people, you are rather unlikely to get or transmit the virus. And if people don't get the virus, they can't die from the virus.

The leaps from your suggested causes are much more complicated.

If the second wave doesn't result in more deaths, then maybe it was one your proposed causes, and it'll be interesting to see how they contributed.

If deaths do spike again, then could you please stop spamming Hacker News with anti covid "skepticism"? Because if you continue to post and share these things in spite of a pile of dead bodies, you'd be complicit in the deaths from the third wave (if any).

Here’s an article with some of the technical details of chilling the air to liquify it:

https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-19785689

“IMechE says this process is only 25% efficient but it is massively improved by co-siting the cryo-generator next to an industrial plant or power station producing low-grade heat.“

“More energy is saved by taking the waste cool air when the air has finished chilling, and passing it through three tanks containing gravel“ as a thermal store.

“their kits could be up to 70% efficient, and IMechE agrees this figure is realistic.”
My family did segway tours in a few European cities.

They were especially great in hilly Rome. We hit all the major spots within a few hours. Cruising around the Circus was pretty cool!

But -- we all had minor falls at some point. Cobble-stone streets are not to be messed with!
In my country, there are economic challenges: water isn't available everywhere, diverting water is not cheap, and it messes with water sharing agreements, which are a political issue in themselves.
No, I'm not saying I want people to be exploited so that I can enjoy cheap ramen. It's supposed to serve as an example to illustrate the fact that many goods and services we take for granted on a daily basis are available through businesses that have extremely thin profit margins.

You are already contributing to someone's near poverty living if you pay taxes. See social security and unemployment insurance as examples.

For places like these, it's the market's demand for cheap ramen (or whatever) that means the difference between someone living at poverty level and having no livleyhood at all.
That’s a shame, personally I always wanted one but our local government (Sydney, Aus) banned them outside of a few special parks so you can’t actually use them normally. Farewell you beautiful strange things...
It might help them communicate real emotions, but it is also used to skirt responsibilities of ones actions and be dismissive of others based on a trait they have no control over.

However, the app should be free to exist.

That's car speed. It isn't highway speed, but when an ebike passes me at the dog beach doing 25mph I'm tempted to put a stick through the front spokes. In a car, 30mph in a school zone would get you a massive ticket ($$$+). Any vehicle capable of such things should be limited to the roads, plated and licensed like every other electric motorcycle. (Don't bother with the helmets. Darwin can work that one out.)
In aggregate, I neither like it nor hate it. But here's what I hate:

* It's even flatter than the previous layout, which makes it more difficult to use. In particular, it's easy to miss the branch dropdown.
* It no longer shows the last commit message, which is an extremely useful thing to be able to see, as others have noted. If space is an issue, they should shift the junk on the right of that section up beside the 'branches' dropdown.

Thanks for that.

Everything you said is from the perspective on being not only in a Haskell job but in a Haskell team. Your 3 months is 5 years for someone trying to learn on their own in their spare time. And then they need this to get a Haskell job due to the competition for such job and the queue of super smart people lining up for a Haskell job. And the pay cuts are brutal. Now you are an outlier, working on a Haskell team for Google, the rare triad of using Haskell at work, presumably being well paid, and having that mentorship from other team members.

> After 6 years of industrial Haskell, I know nothing about category theory. It has not prevented me from using web frameworks.

As someone in as Haskell team, maybe this is possible. You don't have to try and pick apart the online knowledge. For example a lot of libraries use Lens. I want to understand Lens? It is not simple: check out the diagram on https://hackage.haskell.org/package/lens. "Yeah but it's just X Y Z". Great - I've been to many FP meetups, and seen a lot of stuff online and there is no simple help for this stuff.

The wild west period is over where companies or people could do whatever they felt like with personal data. Forget about privacy advocates, mgmt in many data hoarding companies have suddenly realized it effects them too, their kids, their parents, their employees, clients etc etc.

We just fired someone at work recently for moving customer data off site. Few years back no one would have batted an eyelid. Not only was data moving all over the place, few people had any idea who all had access or in what ways the data could be used. Today after one debacle after another, 200 alerts go off if people touch the wrong data.

But there is so much inertia behind what has happened over the last 10 years that it will take some time for people to see the trajectory change.
Approximating air as nitrogen... nitrogen cannot exist as liquid phase at room temperature - it can exist as a supercritical fluid though at 5MPa (so 50 atm). At that point it has a density of roughly 56 kg/m^3. At ~1 atm, nitrogen becomes liquid at -194C and has a density of roughly 800 kg/m^3. So your mass density of the system is like 14 times better with liquid nitrogen, and the pressure loading requirements are stupidly lower.
