> the standalone purchase is just fairly well hidden because it's not the recommended path

I don't care how many arguments they bring to the table that the subscription model is superior, the things that matter are still "broken" in the subscription model: Control over my data and "cost control".

With a standalone license i can control where i store my sensitive information, and don't have to rely on 1Password doing the "right thing" and protect their servers.

I can also choose if i want to upgrade, or if the current version is good enough for my needs.
I will never pay a subscription for any software.

As I mentioned, this stopped working after Mozilla deprecated, and subsequently removed an API due to security concerns. When viewing the docs for said API, they have clearly outlined an alternative mechasmin. They have still stuck to blaming Mozilla.

An individual raised a working PR to fix this that got reviewed and some changes were requested. The individual must have abandoned the PR or something because it hasn't moved since. I would have expected Bitwarden devs to pick this up and get it merged, and address the PR changes themselves since OP isn't addressing the issues.
Right - or maybe directionally radiating it away in a direction your adversary can't observe?

The James Webb space telescope cools it's observing side instruments to 10s of degrees above absolute zero, using active cooling. I wonder how hard it would be to detect from it's cool side, at a space combat distance?

Asteroids in the near solar system are normally 100-150 kelvin, apparently, and don't seem trivial to spot.

All that still seems to allow room for stealth in a hard sci-fi setting.

Since freight companies own the tracks the only way to do it would be if government bought them, which I assume would cost hundreds billions of dollars. Just passing a bill giving passenger trains priority would be unconstitutional because it would interfere with property rights of the owner.

Indeed. I miss OpenID, and the promise it had.
It may be worth distinguishing between:

1. Having a formal grammar definition as the authoritative spec

2. Using the formal grammar definition to generate your parser

#1 is quite valuable on its own, even if you don't want to do #2. It can be analyzed for ambiguities and inconsistencies, and you avoid the tar-pit of "the original implementation is the spec".
Depends on the region. Out West it was mostly Chinese workers. Back East it was the Irish.
Amazon could replace CAPTCHA with a Turing test you’re meant to fail (2017)
I partially agree, but I don't think this is a problem of statistics.

If you were following statistics thoroughly, you would ideally set out your justified hypothesis before starting any research, and conclude whether your hypothesis was true or false.

The problem is that researchers generally refuse to do this - if they know to do this - because the hope is to be rewarded for finding some novel and unanticipated result that changes the field. This leads to p-hacking and other techniques which immediately invalidate any statistics that are used, anyway.

1Password X is a sad excuse for a Linux client. Compared to the great experience one gets on MacOS (haven't used it on Windows), 1Password X is a child's toy, and a bad one at that. It did improve a bit not very long after I left 1Password, but Bitwarden hasn't been better.

There are 2 major problems that must be addressed:

1. Using OAuth to sign-up often means disclosing private data you can (and would normally prefer to) keep secret if you go the bare e-mail sign-up way. E.g. contacts list, exact date of birth, etc. - This is why I (as a user) stopped using OAuth for new accounts.

Kind of the same used to apply to e.g. Android apps. I mean the "give an app all the permissions it wants or gtfo" anti-pattern which ought be abolished. The user should be allowed to continue after denying/revoking access to any (but absolutely essential for the very function) data silently or manually specifying whatever values they want.

2. It isn't always easy to decouple an OAuth-based account from the social network account, especially in case you loose access to the latter. - This is why I (as a user) migrated all OAuth-based accounts I had to the good old e-mail way.
We're already starting to see "website works best in Chrome" type messages around the internet so I assumed it's only a matter of time before people stop testing in other browsers entirely.

Interview with Alan Robinson about the Beginnings of Automatic Deduction
If you write

{ "key1": "value1", "key2": "value2" }

without the commas, you're also on your own when it comes to fixing it.

You just type [enter] instead of [space] between "value1" and "key2:" in your original example to get correct indentation.

I don't know much corba, but in asn.1 it's basically "a field tag and a binary blob". It could be also a standard structure tagged with an unknown id, but either way I don't really see it as much more than json `{"uid": "blob-data"}` in practice. If it's unknown data, you can do almost nothing with it apart from passing it on. If I recall correctly, x509 doesn't even want to deal with any complicated tagging and embeds each extension value as a serialised DER itself.

I would not consider Muslim or Jewish fasting a good example.

Both Jews (on "Yom Kippur", Day of Atonement), and Muslims (On Ramadan) do a "dry fast", that is - without any liquids either. That fast CANNOT be sustained for long, and becomes dangerous after just a couple of days regardless of your fat/energy reserves.

Jews do it for 25 hours once a year, and traditionally eat an extra lunch upfront ("Mafseket" - "The pause meal") and a regular-to-larger dinner afterwards. Muslims do it for a month, but only during daytime - and feast all night (some who can afford to, just sleep all day and stay up all night and don't actually fast). Neither of these traditions are healthy in any way.

I'm not as familiar with the Hindus and Jain fasting traditions - but I know some of them last months and all of them involve water drinking, so those are likely indeed healthy.
All these tiny guides always feel like I am learning tiny pieces but missing the big picture.

I was wondering if there is some book that will take a really deep dive into the details, so I come out of it and finally know how the pieces fit together, so to speak.

I guess it isn't out there.
It is hard to get a handle on what disappears; at least I haven't seen a straightforward breakdown.

Certainly things that talks about 911 not being an act of terrorism, Sandy Hook and other school shooting being a govt sponsored hoax, the Las Vegas shooting hoax, things relating to space being hoaxed, etc. I'm not going to provide an opinion on these things.

Whatever your perspective, the thing I would argue, is that if you want to be informed you need access to all the information and evidence, not a subset selected for you by the governing class.

It used to be a popular thing to say: "I hate what you're saying, but I'll fight for your right to say it". I agree with this. But we have been educated to think that so called 'hate speech' is a problem, whereas the real issue is the prolonged infantilisation of adults - in that we don't trust our own judgement, and would prefer an authority to do it for us.

>Speaking as a person who spent some years if his career working on full-text search, I doubt that there’s much left in the way of low-hanging fruit.

Maybe so, but judging by my search results most of the fruit is still on the tree. Natural language understanding is an active field of research.

Turning Google into a search utility is a bad idea. Splitting off the crawling part and turning that into a utility would be a lot more interesting. It would allow search engines to compete on search quality while sharing the capex required for crawling.

You only have a vote on shares that you hold directly. There are lots of tax-incentive wrappers where this isn't true. Ultimately, yes, you usually have the flexibility of picking individual stocks. But then diversification (for security) reduces your overall time and attention available to control any one stock. Buying passive index trackers, as usually recommended, gives you neither.

Even if it isn't, old games eventually just stop running as Microsoft releases newer versions of Windows. So, even "owning" the install files is not a long-term solution. I think we should accept the fact that video games are just ephemeral goods that disintegrate within 5-20 years timespan.

Oh.. then I'm not sure what we're doing differently, or what the difference is in hardware, but my arms/hands are straight from elbow to fingertip when I rest on 'home row' 'adsf'/'jkl;' - if I change to 'wefv' it's a significant contortion, if that's what it looks/feels like for some people using 'asdf' then I understand the problem and am not surprised they don't put up with it!

If I stick my elbow way out I can make 'wefv' as natural to me as 'asdf'. So I suppose either my elbows are more tucked in, or my keyboard's wider ('dfgh' for example contorts the other way, and analgously to 'wefv', 'rthn', or better but less analogously 'erth', is more comfortable there).

Show HN: I created an API for active email validation
Manual account activation because the "please click this link to confirm your email address" email somehow does not end up in my user's inbox, is one of the most frequent support requests I get.

I built an API (private for now) which offers a solution to these scenarios, and may work as an alternative to passive email validation.

Instead of receiving an email, users are asked to send an email to a unique email address to confirm their email address (this - by the way - also filters out temporary receive-only email addresses)

A proof of concept can be found here: https://confirm-email.progresso-ict.nl. I can imagine the API to be used for account creation, password recovery, signing up for newsletters, etc.

Even though, with a clickable mailto address, the amount of steps are equal or similar to receiving a confirmation email, my girlfriend tells me the method is cumbersome.

So, what does the HN community think? Other questions I still have to investigate are mainly security-related. Emails are spam-filtered by Amazon SES, yet have to test for spoofing.

The real test is when "undesirables" start using it.
I think a more concrete way to think about this is to walk through scenarios of design to their end conclusion and beyond and then assess every variation and possible iterations or issues in your mind before getting down to implementation. End to end systems design works best when you think about the solution and constantly rotate through a feedback loop in your brain about how to execute on it. That's my thoughts anyway.
I’ve hated Google ever since they started automatically signing me into Search when I signed into YouTube.

I fix this by deleting all cookies matching “google” after signing into YouTube, but sometimes I forget to and it infuriates me to see my name in the corner when I search for anything.

Even on iOS they use a browser window to make you sign-in so it cookies up your entire device.

Thankfully the quality of Google Search results has been going downhill for years so it's honestly not that much of a difference to switch to DuckDuckGo as the default engine now.

This highly dependent.

For example, Finnish Defence Forces are capable of very professional response to external threats.

Remember this leverages the entire eligible male population that is highly educated, motivated, and culturally aligned to follow chain of command.

There is also the backbone of professional, university trained officer core who manage all of it.

Some of the most technical service branches like the air forces utilize professionals extensively as well.
I personally dislike tests that are multiple choice. It loads the mind with (sometimes obviously) false data that must be rejected and the ability to pattern match on word usage or even guessing between answers that haven't been eliminated means that the instructor never really knows if the person actually knew the answer and neither does the student.

When I used to participate in math contests I'd go out of my way not to read the answers before attempting to solve the problem because it's much more gratifying that to reverse engineer the problem from the input. In the end, I'd resort to that or guessing if I couldn't crack the problem on my own, but then at least I knew which problems I really solved and which ones I didn't. And when I was invited to do more complex math contests than the ones that Waterloo was putting out I was astonished at how much harder just having to write in an exact answer was, since you missed out on the "not one of the options" feedback if you flubbed a number somewhere.

With these certification tests it's impossible to really do the same thing. It doesn't even feel like real thinking compared to writing software or prose. Also the pointless memorization of things like "what classes of MITM attacks are there?"[0] don't really get a person to learn the stuff. It's like memorizing the atomic weight of elements. That stuff never stuck for me until I was doing real chemistry and the basic act of looking up a weight each time slowly got me to memorize the elemental weight of the chemicals I was working on. Same goes for all those French words I was forced to learn in Canada. Once I started wanted to speak Russian I was amazed at my ability to actually be able to remember words.

I'm not saying these things should never be tested. I wouldn't trust a structural engineer that didn't know what lateral torsional buckling is[1] but the manner in which we test it should be as close the reality we would expect, and this is what we do in engineering school most of the time.
