I often see comments like this one that misunderstand value for how something is achieved.

Value is decided by the market according to the utility of the service. I happily pay $22 per year for Pinboard to keep a few bookmarks with tags. That's also storing "tiny text files" but I could not care less. I could even implement something similar myself. And yet, I find the value it provides worth paying.

Another, more extreme example. I am part of a $5000 business program. Last week, I got a single piece of advice that I consider already paid for the entire program. The delivery was 20 minutes long. It was not even something original invented by the lecturer, but it can be found in some books. And again, I don't care. The value is in the impact, not in how the advice that was discovered or delivered.
Well, there are high quality FOSS KeePass clients for all platforms, like KeePassXC, Keepass2Android and Strongbox.

So paying for a password manager that requires syncing doesn't seem like an attractive option.
Well, not really "free", you've just already paid for it.
Are you referring to VoIP apps or VoLTE?

The pinephone's modem can do VoLTE on several carriers and SMS over LTE. I haven't really looked into VoIP apps themselves.
I don't like using browser extensions for password managers (I read in the past these are usually the easier attacks, might not be true nowadays) and switched from LastPass to Bitwarden.

The feature I miss is that LastPass has a Mac MenuBar app which provided a global shortcut to search my wallet, for Bitwarden I always have to open the app.

Also, the iPhone app doesn't let you view attached images in the app, you have to first download them to the phone's storage.
Bingo. Liability is a huge risk here and they are using their "customers" as alpha testers that are playing Russian roulette with their lives and those around them. I want Comma to succeed but not by shipping alpha-products to the general public that doesn't understand the risks.
I believe it's the other way around. Objects with mass warp spacetime, and the resulting curvature results in gravity. Everything not accelerating travels in straight lines, where straight lines are geodesics through spacetime. This is why gravity is not a real force, but the result of objects traveling through the curvature spacetime.
Lots of good points here. I particularly like the "dark triad" bit, though I think a lot of nuance around different types of likes/upvotes/whatever is missing. It makes a difference whether those are shown to others and/or used to sort others' feeds. That last point is very close to montenegrohugo's about algorithmic feeds, with which I completely agree. Algorithmic feeds, especially those which show content from people/groups I don't even follow, definitely deserve a place in the Dark Tetrad.

To illustrate these points, consider HN itself. Yes, HN uses an algorithm to determine story prominence. Yes, it has upvotes. Yes, it uses relative timestamps. OTOH, the upvotes are not shown to others and it doesn't have infinite scroll. I also wouldn't consider it a "feed" like Twitter or Facebook. On the third hand, even the features HN does have arguably contribute to echo chambers and audience pandering. I think this well illustrates that it's not easy to determine good vs. bad social media, and it would be hard to argue here that all social media are bad. ;)
A couple of days ago there was also a discussion on a similar topic on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26090139

It isn't much of an argument. Everything we think of as "real" in the sense that you describe it is actually just a conceptual model we have for how certain patterns of energy in the universe behave. The universe has no special rules for apples, floors, wifi access points, cars, or basketballs.
As a little experiment for other HN readers out there, try this:

Pick out a few random words here: https://www.randomlists.com/random-words . Put those few random words into Amazon's search bar and then order the list from most to least expensive. Then scroll down a bit. This should give you a pretty good selection of a random set of 'real' items. Do this, say, 3-4 times to get ~10 random items not influenced by your search history (presumably). Open them up in new tabs for easier organization. Now, go into a few of those items and try to say that they are 100% not 'fraudulent'.

How many could you get through before you gave up in frustration? Personally I got to about 5 before I gave up trying to determine if they were junk or not.
Great, so, as long as we "surveil" people post-facto, by using AI against logs, it's cool.

The sticky wicket seems to be doing it in real time.
> You can combine several literals in a single pattern using | ("or"): `case 401|403|404:`

So how do I do a bitwise-or operation within a pattern?

I think given issues like this and the commonly-cited NOT_FOUND example [0], it might have been better to only allow pattern matches on compound data and disallow its use with simple values. That’s where pattern matching is most useful, as in the article‘s second example (`match point`), plus it would make it more obvious that the behaviour of `match` is different from C’s `switch`.

[0] The following code unintuitively assigns the value of status_code to the variable NOT_FOUND:

NOT_FOUND = 404
match status_code:
case NOT_FOUND:
print("HTTP Not Found")

Edit: OK, it looks like you can’t do arithmetic/bitwise operations in a pattern at all, so there’s no direct clash between bitwise or and this use of `|`.

Therefore if you need to match against a calculated value, you can’t do the calculation inline. Instead you need to calculate the value outside the match and give it a name - but you can’t match against a named local variable either!
There are entire MCUs that fit into the volume of an Ethernet connector's shielding. So there would be no visual way to tell if one were present on a board, unless the shielding or connector design was different.
Lenovo ThinkStation P620 Review: A Vehicle for Threadripper Pro
1. No inbuilt syncs. Dealing with sync conflicts manually eventually gets frustrating.

2. No multiple URL support. I had to have three entries for roll20 to support their app.roll20.net, roll20.net and forum domains. These duplicated entries also make rotation a pain and reduces the value of duplicate password tests when migrating to a password manager approach initially.

3. Poor Android apps. Apps don't support auto fill, have a UI from the gingerbread era, don't sync well even given the above caveats, and the android file system permission tightening has made using a seperate unrelated app to do the sync more painful.

4. Lack of a standard for identifying apps. Do they use the URL field and put the store ID in there? Do they use a custom field to allow having app + website login use the same entry? Does your next mobile app use the same field or even support that field?
Spacetime is a vector in Hilbert space.

Entanglement yields locality. Space emerges. I'm not convinced time is emergent, though (I give the idea low credence).

I'm not a scientist, I just listen to Sean Carroll's podcasts.
Ironically, they are proving the point of his comment. There is a pretty large group of people here that will downvote anything that is critical of actions taken by the left, even when that criticism is fully justified. The NYT doxxes people that they believe disagree with them...HN just downvotes them into oblivion. This comment, and likely yours, will also get many downvotes.
I use a similar solution- KeePassXC on desktop syncing the encrypted passwords to Keepass2Android via Dropbox.
Sorry if I'm asking an obvious question but how is this more convenient than pure-desktop Lastpass? If I'm inconvenienced by Lastpass' change of terms this is hardly a solution isn't it?
TikTok hit with consumer law breaches complaints across Europe
I experience the same. I've noticed that if I start my day with a dose of Twitter, I tend to be much more absentminded and less focused on tasks that need to get done.
> The question here is whether spacetime is something like that, or if it is a proxy concept with no grounding whatsoever in the universe, but with good predictive powers?

I'd add: is it something one can develop an intuition for?

I don't think there is anyone who says gluons or general relativity are intuitive. You have to do the calculations (or memorize heuristics) to get something useful. Atoms, on the other hand, or electromagnetic radiation as another example, can be visualized (and mentally simulated) more or less correctly. (Note: atoms. Not nuclear mechanics.)
Also bit wardens enterprise feature is very different than anyone else’s enterprise feature.

It’s in my opinion a bad system. The issue revolves around that you always have a personal account, that has work access. Well.... for enterprise, I want to be able to help user reset their password, override there to MFA, revoke access to a share, audit what shares they have access to.

I REALLY wanted to use Bitwarden company wide, but the enterprise product is just not there.
It's the same in plain sqlite.
Personally, and it’s just me, but I don’t trust cheap, or even free, password services like Lastpass, with an ugly user experience on top.

I’m more than happy with my 1password subscription. User experience is incredible. Support in the iOS ecosystem is extraordinary.
OTOH, he'd get the cobalt mined on schedule...
I really agree with this statement. I've never seen anything like Rails in Java/JavaScript land. In Java there's SpringBoot but its nowhere near a cohesive package with a strong online community behind it like Rails. It's more of a collection of libs put together with a good enough attitude.
Wait, they're shipping it already? Wtf, all I did was look at their codebase and I assumed they were just making some news about it. Distributing code and shipping a product are very different, and I'll be surprised if nothing bad comes out of it soon.
> I never signed up for this and thus never provided any address.

It is an option in both Android and iOS. Android has a proprietary library that is put in there (I don't know anything past that for how Android handles it). If I were to guess, your network provider has your home address and used that? but e911 is a USA thing, I don't know Germany's equivalent laws.

I would assume the IPsec traffic is the WiFi Calling feature? But I don't know.
At the time when I was evaluating my options only CLI clients for KeePass have been available so I had to make a call. Plus the mobile app is like $15.

Whether $15 is worth your good night's sleep (and less time burned to evaluate all options) is something we can debate endlessly but my stance is "yes".
I personally call it "selling yourself out on the Internet".

The rise of small-time influencers, the "nanoinfluencers", is particularly worrying trend. There are degrees to how antisocial advertising is, but nanoinfluencing is near the top, along with MLMs - people literally get paid to cheat their family and friends out of their hard-earned cash. It does damage to the fundamental relationships in the society, and to the minds of everyone involved.

If you think I'm overdramatizing, consider if it's a healthy state of things, when asking a family member for advice or having a casual conversation, when you have to wonder whether they're being honest, or just shilling you some crap. That's a fundamental assault on basic interpersonal trust.
I'd always assumed point 2 was intentional
> That still means you are the proper cause of your actions. The preceding history exists too, but isn't very relevant to the process of choice.

How is it not relevant to the process of choice when it fully determines all aspects of it including the outcome? It is as relevant to the process of choice as the choice itself is to the action it produces.
I meant specifying columns during extraction of the rows.

Like using name=result_row("name") instead of name=result_row(1)

The former works even with SELECT * irrespective of the order of the columns. The latter won't.
Did that with the CTO. Don't think he was impressed. Later on I got the sack from that place.
"* Bring a pair of socks only for the flight, and throw them away afterwards (Uniqlo has decent ones that aren't too pricy). The bathroom floors get so sticky after 10 hours."

I love pass but found that it was difficult to use the associated Android app and keep things in sync.
I'm biased, but OP hasn't done any due diligence. Here's from 2017 with regards to Audi https://www.audi-mediacenter.com/en/technology-lexicon-7180/..., there is also new info out there.

"But most importantly let’s just stop being so derisive when it comes to world changing technologies." You just did it yourself.
best marketing strategy ever

however, what you are doing is illegal...
I think their strategy is selling the technology to car manufacturers and investors not average people.
I tried 1Password, but there was a basic missing feature, you can't toggle reading the password.

This was a deal breaker for me when I have a ~90 character password (I often mistype one specific key everytime).

Bitwarden doesn't have this problem.
How is Comma's behaviour substantially different from Tesla's?

Arguably Comma is being a little more upfront about the user being a guinea pig for their software.
I've been debating making this switch myself. How time consuming was the transition? Did you have to do much manual data entry or does bitwarden have the ability to reliably import lastpass data?
Thinking about it more in detail, functions require the parentheses to show where the call ends. I obviously could count the number of expected parameters as function is defined, but that leaves room for error, and a creepy syntax,

ie: sum 2, multiply 2, 2, 2

for which function is the last parameter for?

You are right about the function names, I am not forced to use the camel form which I do not love, it could be serial_write or even serial write
Comma thinks they are ready because it's essentially an Adaptive Cruise Control, and as they state on their website, they scored #1 for best at that by Consumer Reports compared to the stock offerings from Ford, Nissan, and other carmakers. Frankly, I don't know if _anyone_ should be including this kind of tech if it's this early, but Comma is currently far from the only one for what it does. Frankly, because it scored #1 and the code is open-source, I'd be much more likely to trust Comma than the stock offering from my manufacturer.
With enum.Flag and guard statements?
I like the Ghandi philosophy but it does not always work out that way. I have seen a couple movements get to step 2 then either fail or give up, Occupy Wallstreet and Anon vs Scientology both come to mind.

There is another progression that accurately describes click-bate news:
1. Cause disagreements and strife
2. ???
3. Profit!
I agree. I think it’s a bad move for them.

When I read the title, I just assumed that they were limiting to one mobile device which seems more reasonable.

... My mom will be effected by this on Lastpass, she is hardly a power user.

This is a mistake Lastpass.
Second on this. I've been using it for almost six years now, never had any issues on my desktop or Android. Probably requires a bit more setup than LastPass, but it has been able to do anything I've ever wanted to do, including apps/plugins for Android, Chrome, Firefox, SmartFTP, and more.
Yes all the social medias are addiction merchants. The people know full well that they sacrifice their data, but they do not care about that or ads.
The people use them for gratification about likes and as a platform to be "heard" or voice their opinions.

Society is punishing drug users and vendors, which might be the right thing to do or not, I am not a decision maker.
But the addiction should be measured in dopamine emissions and withdrawal symptoms. Does not matter if the product is a recreational drug or a virtual saas. Do not let the addiction merchant hide behind marketing terms like social media.
The corporations use social to tick a compliance box and mislead the customers. To make it sound harmless or less dangerous. Similar to vegan, bio labeled food.
Social media is targeting the most vulnerable and young.
Sounds drastic? I do not think so
Not sure why that wouldn't apply to other products. Product design/packaging/formulas change, as does a seller's customer service...
Bitwarden has the ability to store secure notes as well. I don't think it has the ability to store arbitrary files though.
To all those monsters taking a big mac with them on the plane: buy a sandwich in a packet like a normal person.

What's a good solution for a WebDAV storage backend?
I still think LastPass is a good product and good value.
Unless I’m misunderstanding your point, I don’t think what you want is possible, due to microcode. You give the AMD/Intel/Arm/etc platform some instructions to execute, and then they execute it in ways that are not guaranteed to stay the same, between microcode updates and between hardware revisions. The only guarantee is that the results you get should be the same as if the instructions you requested were executed in the order you requested them.
the US tax system is ‘broken’ because there are powerful interests that benefit. it goes well beyond the accounting industry.
> how communists act

OP is more or less correct.

As a person who lived behind the iron curtain I can recommend you "Captive mind". It is non-fiction set of observations of an intellectual living in a communist regime.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Captive_Mind
> It's clear if you read many of the comments here that there is no such agreement

I guess I should have said "all experts agree" instead? Lack of knowledge about something by some people doesn't change the definition of that thing. I would add however, that you can reach out and touch an atom with a certain definition of touch (as touch is mostly a macroscopic concept).

> I'm certainly not claiming that atomic theory is a wild speculative guess which you seem to imply I've done.

You will have to explain this one to me then. You said "it's *even* called a theory" to reinforce your point that it was just a mathematical tool (and hence not real following your definition). This point is valid only if theory means guess, which it does not.
Fishing fleets had been trading with people in the Arctic for some time. The joke is that when John Cabot 'discovered' N. America, he had to sail around all the fishing boats to get to shore.
Interesting business model to revoke a feature that has become standard among your competition.

I can’t get off Lastpass because I have 100 paid users on Enterprise, but why on earth would I recommend my family use LP now?
I'm saying the differentiation is meaningless. We have a model of space time that makes accurate and measurable predictions and that is as real as real gets.
I completely agree–LastPass is absolute garbage compared to alternatives. Genuinely one of my least favorite pieces of software I've ever had to use with any regularity, and my threshold for frustration is higher than most.
Also the fact that you can avoid the cloud entirely by using a peer to peer sync tool.
I have never heard of a tech person who is hostile to the idea of journalism, just the terrible implementations that exist in companies like the NYT and Fox News.

That quote is just suggesting they do to journalists what journalists do to other people.
Theory is indeed separated into several disciplines, speaking about mathematization: Phenomenology, Model building, Mathematical Physics. FWIW I think Phenomenology is where a lot is going on, it's about looking what is there and how it compares to the models.

The fully formalized ("axiomatic") mathematical descriptions oftentimes lag behind the theoretical models ("postulated") in use that are used to compare with real data for instance.

That said, I would say Atoms are as real as it can get. There are so many experiments about them and applications as well, for instant nuclear fission. How can they not be real? :-) Speaking about Spacetime, of course it is real. There is such a crazy amount of predictions based on Special Relativity.
Python straw man aside, Comma could improve their safety dramatically, today, by documenting their safety systems, requiring a specific, audited checklist for new vehicles to be introduced, producing a real change management and detailed test result report for each release, utilizing a real safety processor in their "Panda" CAN intercept product, and working to reduce their use of bus effects like message-stuffing or first-in-wins racing with CAN control messages where possible.

But there's no way I would bring this up in their GitHub, for example, because it isn't the culture of the project - and that's the problem. For example, their "leader" shows up and makes commits to their safety code like "WTF WHY WAS THIS SHIT EVERYWHERE."

To Comma's credit, they have made great strides in safety since the first two years of their product - since 2018, they've introduced safety checks that (while undocumented), seem to be somewhat consistent (or trying to be) across vehicles, are written in MISRA C which is at least something that's actually used in the field, and exist at the low level of the system. Commits are signed now, and their founder seems to make fewer non-documenting troll commits to the product. These are all signs that the company is growing up (and, if we look at the history of the company and their leadership, we certainly see some signs as to why this may be the case...).

But, these are things that should have been in place since day one, and the founders and company were certainly not unaware. It is absolutely fair to judge products and companies for the decisions they make, ESPECIALLY when their product is purportedly "world-changing," and in the case of Comma, safety does not seem ingrained into the decision-making process.

As an aside, this blog post is killing me, between extensive Peter Thiel quotes, random jabs at California's COVID policy, Elon worship, and a lionization of a startup company with an immature founder building safety-related hardware.
> It's possible that the newspaper didn't understand what a web search entails.

Doesn’t this imply that the newspaper is simply not competent to report responsibly in the year 2021?
Unfortunately, this is not enough anymore. Amazon commingles their legit inventory with 3rd party inventory that drop ships from their warehouses. They don't differentiate between the two inventories, so you can still end up with a counterfeit product; even when "Sold and Shipped by Amazon".

I've actually had better luck with 3rd Party sellers that ship on their own (not from an Amazon Warehouse). If they send you a counterfeit, their store reputation is going to take a hit. Though at this point, eBay might be a better option.

Lately, I've started buying direct from the manufacturer when possible, or shipped from B&M store. Their prices are the same, or better.
It's more along the lines - the US military only helped films if the story was good to the military. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military-entertainment_complex

I'm not aware of exactly what you ask for, probably because the military is that good at ensuring nothing bad would be filmed.
