part of owning a busso engined alfa romeo is the 'alfa smell' - the blowback of gasoline in the cabin from an 80s' design engine brought into the two thousands kicking and screaming

and I love it
And yet people still own dollars. I own various investments, and also dollars.

I'm aware of what a hard fork is, I'm also aware of what a 51% attack is. The risk of that down the road could be a fair amount of incentive for folks (and the network effect) to get on board. I'm not saying something will happen there. You do need to maintain clarity to understand the reality of what's possible though. It's also possible that bitcoin's first mover advantage is overcome at some point.

As I said, I own some cryptocurrency too. It's important to see through the mania that is the current market.
That’s fair, but I feel compelled to point out that a penny stock pumper also has skin in the game.
Whatever number you think of, (I start with what I would pay), double it (I’m cheap), and then work down 10% at a time until you get the desired number of sales.
Your whole comment is basically an ad for Bitcoin. USD is valuable because we have an imperialistic global army that will kill you or starve you off if you don't use it? Seems like something we desperately need an alternative to.

USD is the dirtiest fiat there is because it's backed by blood at a global scale.

Hey, many people can't afford new cars, but that doesn't stop them from getting a loan. (Not saying you should.)
I've used 1, 2, and 4.

Strapi [4] is much less stable than it looks. It's pretty buggy, isn't designed very well, and is just all around messy. I used it in production once and never will again.

Next.js [2] is well designed and well maintained, but is totally a frontend framework. It's not just "missing a few things" on the backend side, there is no backend side. Works great if you already have an API (JAMStack) but can't stand alone in the way that Rails or Laravel might be able to.

Despite being the youngest, RedwoodJS [1] is the best option here. I was actually involved pretty early on as a contributor on the project before I had to step away (unrelated, personal reasons) and was seriously impressed by their progress. TPW runs a tight ship, and all of the devs that work on the project are smart and amazing. They ship very quickly and it's rapidly growing into the closest thing to a Rails competitor in Javascript. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes the JS world by storm in a year or two.
Yes, people really are, by your value system, that shallow. The answer to any "are _x_ really that _y_" when the point of reference is informed by the tastes of _x_ is always "yes".

You can rightly say that those stories don't interest you. They don't interest me, and as such I don't watch a lot of local news. But there are huge swaths of people that do watch this content. That is why it exists.

It is like ads on the internet. They exist because they work on someone, even if they don't work on _you_.

This was a good read. I wish I could understand the mindset of people who can live spontaneously like this. I always plan so far in the future because I feel like it’s way too easy to ruin my life financially. Is this a generational thing? A class difference?

It is still illegal in some countries. E.g Italy I know it goes back and forth between making it legal/illegal. I’d also argue that it is already heavily regulated- you need to give any fiat exchange ur docs. Loopholes with exchanges based in weird island territories will always exist.

I think it was changed to title case by a mod. It might have been automatically changed on submission without me noticing. But I'm sure it was submitted with the proper capitalization you suggest.
You (and I) own dollars but the government can always print more. It's like owning shares in a company that has the habit of regularly issuing more shares, diluting you. We know the denominator on BTC (21,000,000) the denominator on USD is unknown and always increasing.

The fixed, deflationary nature of Bitcoin isn't the only financial instrument we need, but it is desperately needed in its own right.
i see nothing better in these "cloud" password providers which isnt in my keepass file which i have managed to keep updated for the past 5 years now. This is like one of those times when you break a feature and then charge people to fix it.
If I read the consensus here correctly: Sportball-viewing is the largest US hobby -> something -> ergo news.

I have a couple of thoughts. First, can someone clarify what "something" is? Comments seem balanced between "you must not like sportball" and offering other information-ish things as evidence of, well, something. If the point is to qualify sportball as news, I'm unclear how those accomplish that.

Second, I expect comments to proceed to "Well, what is news anyway?" and here's what I have for that.

The extra-constitutional protections given to the press by the 1A imply a duty by news orgs to act as an adversary to Govs and other powerful interests - to unearth their misdeeds and other effects of public interest.

Reporting that honors press' 1A protections seems to unambiguously qualify as news. Reporting outside the scope of that may better qualify as information and/or entertainment.

No one is saying that information and entertainment shouldn't be published. However, universally cheap publishing provides endless sport/celeb/infotainment options to us. It is unclear how news orgs best serve us by redirecting resources away from 1A implied duties - just to provide the bazillionth option to hear about sport/celebs.
The difference being Obama came around on the issue and, as far as I've seen, Brendan did not.
> I look at the software on the Android and Windows side and just don't see much of interest to me. That's just me though.

At the end Windows Phone ended up being tightly integrated to the handsets Microsoft built. And it could run extremely well on hardware considered too light to ever run Android smoothly. But it dropped compatibility for a lot of Windows API surfaces.

Windows has to maintain 25+ years of compatibility in certain areas (and still run software that only exists in compiled blobs, the source having been lost a long time ago by whatever enterprise software shop gone bankrupt).

Android has no excuses however. It's OEM cutting corners and shipping patched kernels and "fixes" for their SoC that's plaguing the whole ecosystem.
It was definitely starting to feel a little pricey for how terrible their UI is and how little interest they seemed to have in fixing it. What really got me to switch to Bitwarden though was how it started "recommending" that I change my master password with a modal popup every single time I unlocked my account.
> they don't know any better

There is a ton of literature about how it should be done, there has been enough press for anyone to be aware that it's a serious subject that needs to be studied, and small companies will often consult with external legal advisors because they can't afford to get on the wrong side of the law on this aspect.

I've participated to a ton of these discussions in small and big entities, basically everytime a new service is launched or significantly changed.

In my opinion it's pretty close to handling your finances: you don't go through all the hoops to pass you holiday rental as expenses just because you didn't know better.
Note that you get a free Family account if you are already in an Enterprise plan (so if your work uses it, which mine does).

The article said something about messing with traces on the circuit board to hide a component.

I think it would be far more likely to start with a well known component like a network or bus drive and produce a modified chip with identical packaging and markings. Only one person in the board vendor's supply chain needs to swap spools of tampered chips into the manufacturing stream.

It could sit dormant in most situations unless it saw, say, Pentagon LAN traffic. This means the EBay case is covered; the machine would be normal for everyone else, including the board vendor's QA.

You'd have to simulate the target's traffic to see the board doing something wrong. Or decap the chip and read it out.

"Free Will" is a nebulous concept, so of course nothing can disprove it.

The question I always ask with this is "free from what?". Not freedom to do something... that's not how freedom works. freedom is generally defined from the lack of control. So freedom from what?

From someone else controlling your will? Sure, we have that mostly - though we can definitely screw with people's minds. I can't make you think something. But I can, say, get you drunk and change your decision making ability. Teh yes/no question is trivial as soon as the definition is specific enough.

From literally any connection to your memory? Of course we don't have that because we know we use memories to make decisions. Again, the question becomes trivial.

Why is this still treated as hard? I'm sure it's because people are attaching vague definitions based on emotional wants. I want to be free! of what? just free!
Congrats on the launch! Why did you decide to start with Segment? Do you plan to add other services in the future? (GA, Firebase etc.)
> Most Americans do not work in city center and can avoid driving the super congested trips into downtown

They often can't avoid very congested trips to the neighboring suburb where their job is located. Even if many jobs aren't located downtown, they are located in suburban industrial or office clusters that severely lack in public transit, and are subject to severe traffic congestion.

Furthermore, the effect of this increasing dispersal of jobs has been to increase average commute times, not decrease them [1].

Anecdotally, over my career, I've experienced this sort of long suburb-to-suburb commute in states as varied as Michigan, Texas, Washington and California.

Why would changing the unit of account add an inflationary boost? Changing height measurements from feet to centimeters wouldn't make me taller.
The only problem I had with BitWarden was you cannot add/update entries on mobile when you're offline. This might not be a big issue for many, but it was a deal-breaker for me. I'm now rocking a local KeepassXC (PC) + Keepass2Android + Syncthing setup that syncs when I'm on my home network.
It’s actually required to have lead. It’s hilariously called “low lead”.
Yes we store the data from Segment as it's just a pipeline.

Data is stored on AWS on a managed DB that is encrypted, always up to date with security patches and never leaves our infrastructure.

If your data is extremely sensitive and this isn't enough you can always remove PII from your Segment settings

That being said if you have any suggestions on things that we could do to be more safe I'm happy to learn
Why even have the argument when a simple well written tax code could make the issue not happen in the first place?
Yep, it's pretty painful to have to use a separate app just to manage the PGP key. I've also found it very difficult to sync with git over SSH with a key instead of a password.

I totally agree with you.

> It at least is tied to a physical thing.

People should know more about the paper gold market. Most importantly how much gold people think they have stored safely in vaults, but is essentially just an IOU that could never be paid if everyone withdrew at the same time. Pretty scary/exciting stuff. I couldn't even begin to describe all the dimensions to this and still learning myself. But long story short, consider the possibility that the price of gold isn't anywhere near tied to a physical thing. :)

It seems that the natural gas stations were not weatherized for this, and that sort of makes sense from a business perspective. Few people would plan for snow in Houston while setting up their buildings or equipment. It just didn't make economic sense. If this stuff is going to be normal, it might be necessary for those individual plants to winterize better in the future. That's a decision for each utility and plant operator to make, not for the grid.
> Why are programmers so well paid?

Because the companies paying have silly amounts of money and can afford to pay them silly amounts of money. See also: bankers.
Not really?

Most CRUD applications go the one extra step of putting a uniqueness constraint on the column instead of just relying on the app layer validation, and comparing hidden time stamps on the form if multiple people might edit the same row simultaneously. It’s exceedingly straightforward.

Did you really think thousands of web apps up to and including GitHub and shopify were squeaking by on blind luck? If basic database transactions and integrity weren’t doable in Rails, that’d have had to have been fixed years ago.

So it seems the prevaling narrative from the lefties here is that because Parler was used to incite the riot it was deserved to be shut down? Is there proof Parler was anymore responsible than every other social media platform?

If this is the case, why don't we just packet sniff the backbone and block internet to any home that is perceived to be engaging in anti-American or violence?

What objective standard are you using here? Is it just ok to punish people you don't think you like?

Seems like in a post truth world its more important for lefties to ensure they are controlling narrative then seeking truth. And many lefties fear free speech as they fear it will hurt them. Ironically, they are creating precedents which will hurt us all. Censorship is a double edged sword.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Even so here is the “across” definition by Oxford Languages:
from one side to the other of (a place, area, etc.).

Doubtful it’s even correct if we replace it with EU.
This is still a really fun and quick argument, even so. The risk might not be entirely "the Bitcoin market collapses in the next year" and the risk is an implicit perceived risk, so it might not map to reality. Those criticisms are valid. Nevertheless correcting for that you get something like “I can’t be more than 70% sure that Bitcoin is going to exist a year from now and I also can't be more than 70% sure that I can actually safeguard my bitcoins from hackers and/or malicious insiders, so combining those together as independent possibilities I can't be more than 50% sure that my investment will still exist in a year” with the belief being a belief-in-action, a ‘revealed preference.’

And the nice thing about any revealed-preference argument is that in some sense it’s also a thrown-down gauntlet. “Is this estimate full of crap, HN? Then put your eggs in this basket. Your fortune awaits.” Like, it’s not saying that your arguments are not valid to me, as if the Hacker News comment thread were some sort of arbitrator of truth if only we could argue loud and hard enough for our points of view. A revealed preference argument is saying that your arguments are not valid to you, in the sense that if you profess other confidences or values then your actions are not in line with your values. Who cares about the bluster on the HN comment thread then? This is something that you need to work out in your own case, wondering if you are convinced enough in the stability of Bitcoin to buy some Bitcoin right now to short the future, and if not then why not. Because if you do not have credit-card debt then that 24% APR should look mighty tempting.
But he is right. Why not just fix this at a policy level?

While paying low tax seems morally wrong, the job of a company is to do good for itself, because they all are responsible to their shareholders.

Google left China on moral grounds in 2000s. Did that make other companies follow suit? No.
Apple had no problem censoring or using workers in exploitative conditions to eke out more profits. Did Apple's products get boycotted because of it? No. So, even the users don't care.

So why would a company try to uphold some weird moral standard at the cost of profit when its users and shareholders both don't care?

No, the legislators didn't want the pop-ups to be annoying. They didn't even require pop-ups.

Who wants the pop-ups to be annoying and riddled with dark patterns are the ones implementing it, exactly to cause this kind of reaction on you so you start hating the law, not the ones who are trying their best to skirt around it, to find the loopholes and abuse them. To make your experience as poor as possible while being compliant so you will focus your hatred on the ones who wrote the laws.

This is part of their game, make the experience miserable to people start getting angry at politicians.

Don't fall for that.
That's because the "Cookie Law", which real name is the ePrivacy directive, is separate (and predates) from the GDPR.

This directive defines in (24) [1] : So-called spyware, web bugs, hidden identifiers and other similar devices can enter the user's terminal without their knowledge in order to gain access to information, to store hidden information or to trace the activities of the user and may seriously intrude upon the privacy of these users.

The definition is broad. Does server-side fingerprinting solutions fits into it? Maybe not in the letter of the law, but at least in the spirit. Until a court decide either way, we won't know for sure.

>Without a doubt the password manager with the best UX is 1Password

My experience is about 1 year old, but I have to disagree, as a paid 1Password user, my browser plugins and mobile client would fail to fill in the forms I used at least 50% of the time. That's horrible UX, but I agree, their UI looks nice.
The exact job title sequence varies a bit, but a useful division I have seen is: first you're told what to do. Then, as a senior engineer, you're told what problem to solve and what you do is up to you. Then, as a principal/staff/etc. you're expected to decide which problems to solve.

To be honest, they also sell high end stuff on ebay and you know it's going to be legit just based on the seller feedback and what the item is.

Facebook and Twitter are evil.

You're saying that one side's lies are worse than the other side's lies. There is at least as much misinformation on Facebook and Twitter as there was on Parler. What you're really complaining about is that Parler doesn't censor the people you want to see censored.
The biggest competitors are obviously not European (eg. MS, Fastmail) but there are smaller companies like mailbox.org that offer less polished but functional alternatives. I'm not saying that those would be a perfect replacement for everything that Google offers, but they get close enough that they might do the trick for a large number of people (which would then give them the income to make further improvements to their platform).
it's not just illogical, it's an infinite regress. It's purposely adding in an extra layer that by definition can't be discounted. So if you disprove one layer of free will, you still have an infinite number of possible ways you still have (or don't have) free will at yet deeper levels.
You mean advertising?

Negative reviews are the only actual reviews.
