1Password team, if you’re reading, my macOS app wishlist has been piling up pretty high.

- Please rethink sections. Most items are better off without them, so they should be revealed only when requested, not cluttering every create and edit screen and making me sort half my fields under a “SECTION” section just to not use sections.

- Please rethink the flow for adding a new field of a non-text type. It’s just silly to have to scan down for “SECTION”, then down for “new field”, then right for “T”, then click, then scan down for the field type, then click, then click in the data box, every time I want to add a one-time password.

- Please hide unused items from the sidebar, like empty categories, “Favorites” when there are no favorites, and the vault switcher when there’s only one vault. The clutter makes it slower and harder to use.

- Please condense Watchtower into one sidebar entry. My two options right now are “don’t see Watchtower alerts” and “push the rest of the sidebar so far down I only see a few non-Watchtower items”, neither of which is good.

- Please separate “Ignore HTTPS warning for this website”, ignore 2FA warning, etc, from tags. I don’t want to pollute my tagging system with what’s essentially “items on a LAN”, “items where 1Password’s 2FA list is wrong”, etc.

- Please give me a keyboard shortcut to create a new login regardless of the currently selected category. I suggest Command-N for “New in current category”, Shift-Command-N for “New login”, and Option-Command-N for “Open new item type menu”, but would settle for anything that consistently creates a new login with one shortcut.

- Please change the popup password generator to match the 1Password Mini password generator: include 1+ numbers and symbols when checked, not a preset number, and omit symbols that are usually rejected by websites, because the small entropy gain isn’t worth the time spent manually editing passwords.

- Please revise your passphrase word list, or at least provide an alternate list. It’s hard to remember words nobody knows. (That’s the use case for passphrases, passwords that sometimes need to be spoken or remembered, for the rest I’ll use a higher entropy password.) I know using only common words would be less secure, but there’s a better balance to be struck; Bitwarden’s list is excellent.

- Please work to reduce full UI refreshes. I keep losing keystrokes to them.

- Please give me configurable URL matching rules like Bitwarden. Without them there will always be some false positive page matches that I need to arrow through every time I use that domain.

I love you guys. I’m willing to pay your price for great software. But these annoyances keep piling up and I feel that the price warrants more care.
But multiplying by (1+e) is relative. I guess it's much more convenient mathematically than dealing with the absolute error of the calculation.

The houses of parliament (aka big ben) are visible too, if that makes the place more appealing. You can hear the chimes if it's quiet (and the bell is not silenced as at the moment).

Some of the more recently built stuff around there also is not particularly nice looking either, including an (apparently mostly empty) tower block for the superrich that as won several awards for being ugly.

Does it pay well to work for the evil?
Yes it's a thing because of the implied meaning of white=good, black=bad.

I don't think giving words more power to express hate, by making them taboo, benefits anyone. But a part of the internet has agreed on exactly that.
That exists and is called interval arithmetic.
What? $200 year salary will have tax on it. Thats not your take home, then you also have to eat, live, pay rent for your current place.
Thank you for the well-argued and rational post. To me, buying 20 years for decarbonization sounds kind of great. So, it's a fallacy to think we could just plant trees and otherwise go on as usual. We just need to be careful about language that might feed into defeatism: planting a lot of trees is not a wasted effort, it's a great thing to do. Yes, we need to do a lot more, but every year of extra time helps a lot.

Looks very impressive, but it seems cripplingly expensive.

I don't play with this much, but when I use my green screen, I'm often doing 15 minute videos, so it is well out of my hobby budget.
Cannot fully agree. I use adblockers since their invention. Twitter and reddit need more than 5 seconds to load for me on mobile wifi. Ads have their impact but it's not the sole problem.
You da man! Thank you.

Controversial opinion: Bayes Theorem is overrated. In real life usually we have no idea about priors, and we have close to zero chance to get any good estimate of the true probability of something. But we can still get by fine for the most part, by focusing on limiting possible loss and staying on the safe side with large margins.

Many of the claimed cognitive biases go away under this view. One textbook example of Bayes theorem is how doctors overestimate the probability of being positive for a disease. But what are the priors? Maybe those who visit the doctor did something risky the day before or are feeling funny. Maybe the cost of false positive is negligible compared to the cost of a false negative, etc. People are less stupid than what the TED talk crowd claims.
True, although I understand the complaint. Many platforms succumb to bots and power users and they often loose their appeal from that. Most prominent example for me is ebay. Didn't really used it to save money, but it was interesting to browse.

Now there is little opportunity for the average user to even visit it, or at least much less so.
I updated the parent post.
Ditto. I have had tons of dental work. Fire up the iPod, and yes I still use a old iPod Nano for walks and dental work so I can be distraction-free. Toss in some nitrous and it is almost a pleasurable experience. I certainly don't dread going to the dentist.

Good music and pretty colors.

> Making your job easier or more convenient is not the end goal. Making a good product for the user is!

This is a very limited perspective. Let me give you an enterprise software perspective:

1) Software maintenance costs. Better maintainable software allows more services to be delivered with a smaller budget.

2) Software is never finished. Ability to respond to new or changing user requirements matters to users and is perceived as part of the quality of service.

3) Software is going to be maintained by someone else. If they can not maintain it then users have to go through another iteration done by another team (best practice: fewer features, but at least the implemented features have more bugs).
> a lot of people know all their friends and acquaintance exclusively from work

What country is such a workers' paradise? De Tocqueville wrote that the US was a nation whose social life was composed of overlapping circles of voluntary associations, which sounds much more like the situation here than that (to my eyes) dystopic description (of a world where one's only relations are not only by a single path, but that path is tied to the economic), so I'm assuming you're living elsewhere.
I've worked on (non-SPA) webapps that are old enough to vote and I just have to disagree with this assessment.

Beyond that, most websites are not webapps, most are serving up static or near-static content so most websites shouldn't be designed and engineered like they are complex webapps that are doing heavy data processing.
One party wanted to keep something secret and another party connived and tricked the secret out of their vault.

The nature of the secret has some relevance but it is not the important part. It’s the conniving and trickery — the fraud.
That video is really creepy. One guy is dancing in front of the camera with a huge bruise on his face - possibly the victim of some "reeducation"
The article is way too "optimistic" and uses that to fuel pessimism. If the UK suddenly replaced all cars with EVs then the electric gird would be lagging behind which drags down EVs more than necessary. If you give the grid time to reduce its carbon intensity then EVs will reduce emissions by significantly more than 25%.

The article also makes a dishonest comparison using coal power. The UK barely has any coal power. You can't pretend to only look at the UK and then use some fictional worst case that doesn't exist inside it.

There are also some unknown aspects that cannot be predicted. If all cars in the UK were EVs then it would be possible to do demand side management of power where EVs primarily charge when renewables are available. There could be significantly less curtailment of renewables.

The resource intensity of EVs is definitively an area that needs improvement. Cobalt free batteries need to become the standard. Alternatives to copper based motors need to be found such as aluminum based induction motors (less efficient but more plentiful). I'm not really seeing the problem with Lithium though. It's kinda like worrying in 1900 how we are going to produce 35 billion barrels of oil per year. The reason why production of lithium is constrained is that there is basically no demand for it right now.
Love to hear more about how this approach works :)
I created https://markdownshare.com/ to allow anybody to create/share/render markdown.

Unfortunately these kind of sites are an abuse magnet, so it is in the process of being retired.

I think any sustainable site/service like this has to be self-hosted, or come with a subscription. Because otherwise dealing with all the bots, spam-submissions, and other abuse is just too depressing.
> it definitely gives some sense of scale.

It clearly attempts to give a bad sense of it.

> It also infers a second point, that is, there will be nothing left (unless mineral extraction is massively increased) to construct the various renewable energy systems needed to make this "sustainable"

Mineral extraction increases all the time and so does recycling. Cobalt extraction in particular doubled in the last 10 years and Cobalt use in EV is decreasing steadily.

The article just tries to make something easily feasible look futile.

Here is the PDF: https://ris.utwente.nl/ws/portalfiles/portal/6142049/meijer9... (and here is a more useful link to a publication database containing a link to a PDF: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.41.1...)

The text is from 1991.
We can't just change what we eat but also how the food is produced. Nitrogen fertilizers, based on fossil fuels, can not continue being pumped out and causing havoc. The damage to the ocean, drinking water and the large contribution to global warming is not sustainable at current levels.

We are already at the point where 50% of all lakes in Asia, Europe, North America, and South America are eutrophic with decreased biodiversity and toxicity as a result. In addition the Baltic Sea is fast turning into the dead sea, releasing additional greenhouse gases in the process. Global warming also act as an accelerator in combination with eutrophication.

The best direction that we can current go would be to transition diets towards including a significant amount of seaweed and shellfish. Insect farms are also an alternative with low foot print.
You're arguing it must be a 100% solution or nothing. I doubt there are any 100% solutions. But we only need 10 10% solutions, so I wouldn't be in any hurry to reject even a 1% solution.

Oh, and also, there's always going to be a need for new construction even with 0 population growth. Better to use wood than concrete, as concrete is a large source of carbon emissions.
Same issue for me, having online vaults was the killer for me. Also the subscription made me really think if the service was worth it after all, specially after buying the apps they are asking me more money. I moved to Keepass (and opensource apps) and im fairly happy with it.

I dont think i will go back to 1Password.
Someone made this point elsewhere. It's a 'trade secret' and 'stealing' is not as accurate as 'leaking' or 'copying' as it doesn't prevent the original owners from using it.

Usually civil lawsuits are fines. Should your (ex) employeer be able to put you in prison? Because I can see how that can be misused if a few figured out how to be convincing enough
The application of this would probably be different from what your use case is (since you can use green screen).
It is better to give the on site drivers a number in a queue then to make them f5 spam some app.
IMO, Bitwarden is underrated as a password manager. It is fully-featured for personal use, easy-to-use, low-cost and is audited open source code.

This announcement addresses a major limitation of Bitwarden that was holding it back. It should also help with Bitwarden's other limitation: the company is currently very small, and needs to grow to reduce the bus factor.
I'd be able to live with the failure knowing I took my best shot at being an entrepreneur. Opposed to living a somewhat comfortable life not trying at all.

It's been a burning desire of mine. I truly fear regretting not doing this. If it fails, I am happy to try again.

I am ok with making $20k per year for the rest of my life if it means every year I can wake up shooting my shot to build something useful to others.

In regards to competition I am not afraid in the slightest. I do not fear others, they are just flesh and blood like I am.

That said I am reasonable when someone has a certain position, the good thing about space and time is that with proper course correction you too can find your own position. With correct defensibility you can own a certain position for as long as you have a good stance.

Video has been around since the first animators drew images in a flip book. It's not going anywhere. I believe there are gaps and this game is not zero sum.

I will continue to expand my knowledge on physics, computers, marketing, engineering, human/consumer psychology. I will continue to build relationships and find ways to leave people better than I found them. These are my principles and in these principles I feel confident.

Indeed these numbers are impressive, but can it even be done?

Is it even possible both in terms of climate change/overall environmental impact, and in terms of how much methane (fuel) we actually have.

Elon Musk's vision is getting 1 million people to Mars (if I remember correctly) within this century. 100 per starship will require 10000 launches. Distributed over 70 years, that's about 1300 Martian voyages per year.

So approximately 3 per day. Each of those launches, however will require launches of refuelling tanks (is it 6 each?)... So we are talking 19 launches per day just _people_ going to Mars!!!

Sorry, but isn't that completely impossible!??

Not just for the required fuel and environmental impact, but also given how often they just postpone basic launches due to weather.
It's not clear to me what the "x videos" limitation is on the pricing page. You should clear that up. Is that a number of video exports per month? Per week? Or a number of stored projects at all time?
Any news of gains like this raises optimism about oil prices, more people will be inclined to invest. More generally, engaging in the market is being complicit with it. Worth noting we’re all complicit, but trading is more voluntary.
DataFrame use Anti-Pattern (2018)
I have frequently fallen into this pattern before. I generally saw DataClasses and NamedTuples akin to Structs and thats why C++/Java programmers used them. However, I know see their advantages
It makes your MFA-protected account safer from takeover, but also creates a new risk of completely losing access to your account and username forever.

Github has the same policy, and it deterred me from using MFA for a long time, and when I finally did, I added a large number of alternatives, including the not-so-secure SMS.

I think the fear of being temporarily unable to access your account is already a major reason why people don't use MFA. Turning the threat into a permanent loss will make people even more reluctant to do it.

Dealing with some of the backup methods (e.g. off-site copies of backup codes) is tedious, and I wouldn't be willing to do it for less important sites. If I had 2FA on Gitlab, I'd probably turn it off now. (Actually, just saw they don't have an option to add a phone number - I'd definitely turn it off.)

The original trade-off was having a non-sucky web email client.

GMail, the first real "client-side" app, was so far beyond Hotmail / Yahoo Mail in usability that it's hard to even phantom ever going back.
I don't really recall them doing so back when they had real marketshare.
I used to cycle past it every day to go to school across the river. For all the suggestions about how bad it is the current flats on the site are, remarkably, much more ugly. Somewhere I have photographs of the site where I walked around it and the nearby disused industrial surroundings of Battersea power station, just after this was demolished.
True. Thanks for the feedback
Service workers are a lot "stickier" than that. If you think about it, they are all about caching. A service worker activation could count as a cookie itself since it can modify future requests, and if you modify the requests in a way that it emulates a cookie being set then it is a cookie.
I use what I know best unless there is a specific need to use something else.

I also tend to favour the simplest and most stable option based on actual needs. For example, when a database is needed, sqlite goes a long way.
Thanks for the support. For sure I got you :)
I am very happy with Bitwarden as a product. It does everything that I want, and I like the UX better than the other password managers that I tried.

The fact that it is Open Source code that has been professionally audited also gives me an extra level of assurance.
And don't forget what's happening to Falun Gong practitioners in China [0][1]. Although I can't be sure, from observation it seems to me like this information is still more heavily embargoed both in China and beyond. The persecution of Uighurs is getting China a lot of heat internationally but domestically it doesn't seem to be as disruptive.

Demonizing Uighurs has been much easier given their different ethnicity, religion and effective confinement to a given region. It's easy for people to assume this will never affect them. With Falun Gong you're dealing with millions of members of the mainstream Chinese society who have been subject to all this and worse.

Um, I worked on the 757 stab trim design for 3 years. I'm not an armchair quarterback here. An EAD is not a document where you look for loopholes, parse linguistics, and debate angels dancing on pinheads. Take the straightforward meaning, add it to the information a pilot already knows, and it makes perfect sense.

P.S. your version of what the words mean is solely your invention. I've shown this text to many people, and none have come close to your creative version. This includes pilots.
No need to justify anything. The US gov can do whatever it wants
Yes, in 1Password's 2FA announcement its head of security mentions that using 2FA in 1PW does not give you true 2FA:

> If you would like to turn a site’s offering of TOTP into true two-factor security, you should not store your TOTP secret in 1Password (or in anything that will synchronize across systems).

They mention multiple times that if you want true 2FA the second factor needs to be on a different device or a physical key like a YubiKey.

Then they say that “two-step” security offered by 1PW + 2FA is probably enough for most use cases, and that 2FA in 1PW still has additional value because (a) some sites require 2FA and (b) one-time passwords offer protection against sniffing passwords over insecure networks.

https://blog.1password.com/totp-for-1password-users/

The fact that 1PW even auto-copies the code to your clipboard after auto-filling a password so that you can paste it in when prompted raised my eyebrows when I first used the feature, though. It's very convenient but it's obvious at that point that you're throwing away the protection that storing the key on a second device would offer, even if 1PW requires you to authenticate before the app will open.
While I fully support the reduction in consumption of animal products, these figures don't paint the whole picture. In Great Britain, no forests have been cut down for raising livestock. The forest were cut down over thousands of years for fuel and for farming crops. The land that could support trees now is still used for growing crops. Animals roam meadows and uplands that are not suitable for growing crops and live on grass and silage. It's sustainable. In the past pigs were raised in individual households and lived on scraps from the kitchen. Unfortunately this had to stop (it's now an illegal practice) due to disease concerns.

> 83% of the global calorie supply for humans comes from plants vs 18% from meat (i.e. meat is very inefficient)

This isn't the correct statistic to make the point you want to make. If anything this would encourage more meat consumption to balance out the calorie intake. The statistic you really want is something like: "For beef it takes 54 calories of fuel to produce 1 calorie of protein." (Yes, this is also incomplete, meat has fat as well, "fuel" is very broad and vegetables use fuel as well etc., but I don't have time to find the proper stats). Essentially cows are not very efficient at turning sunlight into food.
