The promise of this is great and being a feature of Bitwarden, which is already fairly well trusted, is a plus in terms of peace of mind. But did anyone else find the demonstration a bit underwhelming?

I've used sites like One Time Secret[0] before and one of the big benefits is that it's pretty fast to store the sensitive data, grab the link and send back to the colleague. Bitwarden Send looks as though you need to be logged in to the Bitwarden site, dig out the feature page among the rest of your password manager and fill out a whole form in order to get a link to send, which would add a barrier to entry for the whole process that wouldn't encourage its use.

Maybe it's just me. It certainly looks like a good feature either way.

It is worse in Java. The standard LinkedList class in Java stores references to the data, not the data, in nodes, so there is more pointer chasing.
It was relegated to acceptance about 10 years ago.
> My impression is that the board is in a state of denial, as doing GDPR properly would probably cost us billions.

It may cost some money, but not that much by far. The reality is that in the long term, you'd save some as well by virtue of having clearer, cleaner and simpler processes.
No, this is a fully optimised release build, built according to official instructions.

Rust code is just very big. This seems to come with the territory.
Which is basically the same what I've said and fundamentally different from what the GP hinted at.
Yes! I'm constantly seeing people enthuse about how awesome macros are, and done well they're great, but I don't want every library I use to have a whole new set of syntax.

We'll see.

Seems like not being part of a larger "union" has allowed them to start vaccinating at 3 times the pace of its European neighbours. Historically, power removed further from the people does not benefit the people. There are very few "economies of scale" in politics. As the system grows larger, accountability becomes more difficult and decision making is harder and harder.

Well, Elon and SpaceX has the luxury of having a total control of the product's technical requirement.

Most probably this is because Elon, being the CEO, has enough technical prowess to oversee both the real-world requirement and technical aspect of the product. This allows the company to streamline the practical/from-real-world requirement and the technical specification, therefore eliminating "things that shouldn't have been built in the first place".

This is luxurious because other tech company either does not have and/or does not realize it must procure.

One of my personal daydream is to be in a period where this streamlined real-world requirement and technical specification is common, not a luxury.
Yes, "In terms of economy" why not.

Just ignore every other benefit of the EU to make your case.

But you don't necessarily want tracking infrastructure being built by governments completely, that would be pretty inefficient. As far as I understand the China case at least (I'm not an expert here though, and have never been to China), it's largely started with a commercial app (WeChat).

Not to say that the necessary technology (big data, ML etc.) is to a great extent driven by commercial applications - and businesses should have economic incentives to develop them further.
These days those systems are locked out when people are working in there.

Not so much in the old days :-)

I worked at palace (based at Cranfield uni) that had an experimental rig that used freon as a working fluid - we had emergency respirator sets (like the fire service uses) and people trained in them to use to rescue anyone.
‘too many businesses and organisations are reluctant to use data – either because they don’t understand the rules or are afraid of inadvertently breaking them’

TBH I'm glad companies stay away from my data if they don't know how to get consent, store data securely, or even what those things mean.
I agree. I didn't vote for Brexit but it is hard to see how the pro-Brexit crowd haven't been vindicated with the vaccine roll out.

GDP - the most gamed and politicized metric on earth. Battling it out at the top of gamed metrics with unemployment rate.

We'll see if this is still the economic "gold standard" to compare countries when China overturns the US in GDP.
Why do you think so? What do you think EU has to gain from UK doing badly? And I mean in practice, economically - we're way past the time "told you so" is relevant.
Thank you, I'll take a look:-)

Haha, it seems everyone on this thread thinks the same. Its just plywood squares put together. At some stage someone has to say it 'The king is naked'.
I find it interesting how many business models and ideas are obsolete if there was a wider and easier adoption of gpg. It's over two decades old, but not aged in a bad way. I wonder why it isn't integrated better in OS-es, or part of education, as it's such a useful tool. I get why these products pop up, because they solve the initial inertia and make it accessible. Maybe it's OSS licensing, maybe US laws regarding crypto, hm. Does anyone have thoughts on this?

Edit: my ability to communicate seems to be pretty bad today, so let me clarify. The question is about enhancement/integration in terms of usability, and not lack of adoption "as is". I'm well aware that the reason why it's not more adopted is because it isn't easy to use, otherwise these services wouldn't be popping up that makes it more user friendly. Hence the "... obsolete if there was a wider and easier adoption of gpg"

That's only because everyone else is watching it. I got tired of following football around 14, its inherently repetitive and boring (unless you play it yourself) not to mention the extent of match fixing.

That’s not true, iTerm2 doesn’t overwrite your clipboard. It, like it’s forebears, uses a separate selection buffer. The only way to paste from it is middle mouse button as far as I know.
I was strongly remain, 48% of us where, if the vote had been a year later it could quite easily have been 52/48 the other way.

One wonders if remain had one if the leave campaign would have accepted "The vote was clear, put up with it and shut up".

I completely understand why EU governments would be absolutely fed up with the UK government though.

Sadly my generation (40 and younger) are going to have to live the consequences of something we didn't vote for (49 and younger voted remain getting more strongly remain as you go younger) - it's absolutely frustrating.
Maybe I'm missing something, but how can this be end-to-end encrypted when the password is optional, and there is no fragment in the shared URL?

Update: Turns out fragments are used for key sharing after all. This (in my opinion crucial to anyone aware about the difference between query parameters and fragments) bit is left out from the promotional video.

And the bitwarden trademark is also a selling point.

I wasn't clear in my comment - I think the decision making to avoid compliance with the EU (even when it is sensible) is going to cause big problems for the UK economy and if that get's really bad the public seem determined to vote for more and more right wing governments out of fear. I think it's a reasonable concern with the lack of safeguards in the British system of government.
I have no idea why but the EU/Brexit is one subject where HN comment quality falls apart. I would have assumed most people here are Americans, so not really emotionally invested in their 'side'. But this comment section is full of Twitter hot take type stuff.

Not quite, the EU and UK have a draft adequacy agreement in place. Should be signed by the time the transition period ends.
I think the fact that dumb old racists voted for Brexit doesn’t preclude that dumb young people also voted for it. They’re probably less racist though.
What helps, I find, is to think of governments as administrations. The civil service does implements whatever it has been told. Politicians are voted in - this is a slight of hand to distract the public. (I think of politics as a soap opera for the middle classes.) All the while the real governors operate through global undemocratic organisations, such as the UN and the WHO.

Tbh simply based on the amount of elderly voters that died since it's likely that majority is gone by now. At least so I've read in some article months ago.

All things considered it was relatively close so not exactly a far larger chunk.

I don't have any spite towards the British people but I do hope that the EU will act in EU interest which means facilitating the return of financial services that shifted towards London since they joined and not letting the UK and whatever the borderdeal ends up as serve as a loop to ignore single market regulations.
For a start the people who actually rule - the MPs in parliament - are predominantly remainers. When it comes to business leaders, they're as divided as everyone else. A lot of businesses do extensive trade with the EU and stand to lose. The finance industry particularly risks losing a lot of business, although there are some sectors of it that might gain it's mostly through trading on short term volatility. They'll cash out before they're stuck in the same boat as everyone else.

The basic premise of the "it's an establishment stitch up" argument is that Britain will be weaker and poorer, but the establishment will end up with a much, much bigger slice of the smaller pie such that they gain overall. It's not clear to me how that's supposed to work though. How is this pie-grab supposed to work as the pie itself shrinks? Some people might manage to pull it off, but the whole establishment class as a group?

Anyway, this whole premise flies in the face of who we know voted overwhelmingly for Brexit - ordinary British voters, many of them up north and from working backgrounds - even as the actual political parties, majority of MPs and most business leaders were arguing against it. The evidence for an establishment stitch up rests on a few very specific data points, like the fact that Jacob Reese Mog and some of Nigel Farage's hedge fund friends have already and will continue to do quite well out of it. They're hardly "The Establishment" as a whole though. They're just some of the people I was talking about trading on volatility, and hardly representative of the financial sector as a whole that is getting screwed over by losing passporting.
There is a draft adequacy agreement between the two which should be signed before the end of June when the transition period ends: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_21_...
I've never heard of Abkhazia before, so I had to look it up. It's a partially recognized state, part of Georgia [0].

There's even been a war in 1992-1993, after the collapse of the USSR [1].

Sometimes I'm still surprised of my ignorance about important facts that happened during my lifetime.

Anyway, the next question for me was: why is electricity so cheap there, and should I assume it's cheap 24/7, and therefore generated with hydro?

Electricity is largely supplied by the Inguri hydroelectric power station located on the Inguri River between Abkhazia and Georgia

there's even a study on Electricty consumption, if you really want to dig deeper into it. [2].

Nigel Farage made it clear that he wouldn't accept 52-48 as being decisive:

"In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way. If the Remain campaign win two-thirds to one-third that ends it."

It seems to me the equivalence comparison will always have its limits. The Dhall documentation gives the example of `even(n + n)`, which Dhall is unable to recognize as equivalent to `true`. The feature is of course still useful, but I‘m doubtful the non-Turing completeness is absolutely essential to it, given its limitations.

Personally, if my cursor was on the "foo" I'd probably use:

*gcn<bar>.

That is:

* (highlight all occurrences of foo)
gcn (globally changes the highlighted pattern)
<bar> (the text you want to replace with)
. (repeat the command as many times as you want).

If you know you want to change all the occurrences at once you can highlight "foo" with * (shift-8) and then use :%s//bar/g as it will be set as the last regexp.
This isn't the racist angle, It's the angle where the "consequences" are the only worthy consideration.
Not really. 37% of the electorate at the time voted for Brexit. The rest have not really "agreed" to it. Also, since then, many people have come of age who did not get to vote in the election.
I can handle political disagreement just fine.

But there is a systemic and widely recognised issue in the UK with the government flagrantly handing out public money without due diligence or fair recourse.

Selling citizens data for profit is just another data point.

There is such a thing as an unrolled linked list, which is a bit like a flat B-tree:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unrolled_linked_list

They ought to have quite good properties. In particular, if you are appending one element at a time, they never need to copy, but are also quite dense. Iteration is then fast. Feels like it should be useful for buffering and aggregation type jobs. I have never seen one in a library.
Which is silly (silly on Bojo's part, I mean) to set the country on a path to economic decline and cultural irrelevance because why be a king of an impoverished country instead of being a citizen in an advanced economy?

(Clarification: I'm exaggerating for rhetorical effect. The UK won't become impoverished or really stop being an advanced-economy, but it's still going to be far poorer (in a total GDP and PPP sense) than it would be had this whole Brexit business never happened.
I think you're being a bit sensationalist. E.g. people mock 'Singapore on Thames' but do you really think Singapore is a right-wing hellscape? It has many of the same systems the UK does.
These useless pop-ups are only there because the GDPR wasn't enforced properly. The majority of tracking consent popups you see are not compliant with the regulation. A compliant pop-up should make the opt-out option as easy to use as the opt-in option.

It depends on what you mean:

GDPR does not prevent EU government from handling their citizens personal data for bureaucracy.

However a good example of GDPR applying to the government is the COVID tracking app built by (for?) the French government, which still has to provide ways to opt out from tracking + clean your personal data.

I think that's what the GP was talking about.
This is the thing with algorithms and leetcode and the like; I've got about ten years of professional experience, and in all of my career (CRUD apps, full stack; sounds boring but I've touched many different industries) I've NEVER had to think about what data structure to use.

Java's ArrayList was good enough in all cases, as was HashMap. Although one interesting thing, ConcurrentHashMap turned out to be faster in all my (bad) benchmarks.

I'm doing Go nowadays, it does not have generics except for its built in lists (arrays/slices) and maps, and that covers 99% of my use cases as well.

Anyway, I'll never work at Google or any company that does leetcode interviews because it's so far removed from (my?) reality.
I work in the privacy field. I can tell you that after GDPR the multi national I work for has become a lot more careful/aware about data privacy. We went from collect everything and just store it, to actually having limitation of data collected and how long they are stored.

He was so lucky to miss it, imagine that hangover-y arrival to Berlin imagining it's Ireland.

DC-DC is fine at lower amperages, once you go into a few kW, then it gets more difficult.

DC - AC - AC - DC has the advantage that you can use a transformer to shift voltage levels, which does this very efficiently, usually between 95% and 99% of the energy is passed along.

A DC-DC converter on the other hand usually will top out at 90% in deal conditions, thyristors seem to be able to do 95 maybe 98%, but those only become economical in the megawatt range. You loose more if you want this to work bidirectional (ie, you can feed energy from both sides of the converter).

There is also some other issues that DC brings along, if you were doing it on a household scale, you'd have to worry about magnetic fields in the house significantly shifting, DC cables can't be safely cut from power as easily as DC (it will ark and it will not stop arking until interrupted, you need special fuses, AC stops arking on the 0 crossing), switching heavy DC loads can cause cables to jump at much lower wattages, etc.

Additionally, DC only grid would not be smooth. Every device that joins or leaves the grid will cause voltage fluctuations. It'll maybe be smooth within 10V or so. Within that it'll be moving fast.

For bigger grids there is also the disadvantage that it's rather difficult to sync up a DC connection. Worst case you get a lot of current until the grid normalizes. On AC grids you only really need to synchronize the frequency, then you can connect and any currents should seize over the next zero crossing.
Using "trusted" in a description of their own product doesn't look right, especially when it's the only occurrence of "trust" on the whole page.

It's just a marketing spin, rather than a meaningful technical description.

> "too many businesses and organisations are reluctant to use data – either because they don’t understand the rules or are afraid of inadvertently breaking them"

This is a deeply depressing take if the conclusion is to scrap GDPR. Is this true for 'data' in the general sense, or actually only true in the murky cases where there's an opportunity to use and abuse our personal data.

In my book, that implies that GDPR is working exactly as we hoped it would.
That's not really true. He's definitely claimed to be some flavor of racist on that documentary on Netflix.
