There's socialism and then there's communism, the difference is night and day.

Only way communism was socialist was that everybody was starving except party elite. Everybody was equal under the watchful eye of big brother... praised dear leader or camps... or both...
Brave runs their own ad network. So does Edge. Firefox makes their money through search engine placement and donations. I don't think these browsers being less valued on another company's ad network is actually a loss for them.
I apologize if this is dark. Could it be that the change-up in our routines and the world in general has made some suicidal people reconsider? We live in very interesting times.. I have never been close to considering suicide, but I imagine I would at least have wanted to find out what happens next now that there's a global pandemic.
Show HN: Find out what music fellow HN users are listening to
Hey lovely HN crowd,

I am currently building a little tool which works on top of Spotify. It is called tastemaker.cc and offers different ways to discover new music.

The most recent feature I build is called GroupFun™ (name is still work in progress) and allows to join a Spotify playlists which is automatically populated with the favorite tracks of all participants.

Not sure if it is a good idea (no clue if the platform can handle the traffic), but I would like to start the following experiment: A huge HN playlists to see what the HN crowd is listening to :D

You can either join the playlist by entering the code "hn" as group name on https://tastemaker.cc/ or directly via following link: https://tastemaker.cc/api/join/groupfun?code=hn

After log in to your Spotify you can allow the application and will be added to the playlists.

Let's see how my little project can handle this :)

p.S. Yes I know it requires quite some privileges on your Spotify to get your top tracks...sorry that is how it is at the moment. If you are not comfortable with that, maybe you want to check out the public tastemaker playlists: https://tastemaker.cc/public
Comparing JAMstack Platform Latency
Do you use any sort of desktop scaling? I'd hope not if you can "easily" see pixels.

I'd imagine anyone who can "easily" see 4k pixels on a 15" screen would have text characters around 1mm tall.

Not sure what any of the above have to do with this app...

"- i share these random passwords with my team (ugh... git i guess huh!)"

Git doesn't mean you "share" anything. First, you can use a private repo, second your passwords are encrypted. Unless you give the master key, nobody "shares" your passwords, even if they have access to the git repo.
As I noted, it's not what each say. It's what they do.

If you find yourself arguing against the entity that is the victim of the aggressor entity, I think you have some deep internal reflecting to do. Because such a position, is advocating against defending against actual attacks. Which the aggressor entity has done, in the open, through proxies, as well as in secret. Israel is not the aggressor entity.

If this is what you support, or cannot bring yourself to accept, and insist that this is "narrative" ...

Again, best thing to do is lots of internal reflection.
How about putting a small app in the store that just installs the web app and then uninstalls itself ( don't know if that's possible)?
It is a file-based key-value store, where only the values are encrypted[1], with GPG to make it worse. For these reasons, I moved to KeePassXC. It is cross-platform, has a nice Qt GUI and you don't have to resort to hacks to have several values associated with a single key (i.e. not just password, but also username and others).

[1]: Keys and Git history are not encrypted.
> how few typos (lol)

I have had the same experience, though. Looking away from the screen is a good technique. I tend to fold my laptop screen down until I can't quite see it.

I find, regardless of the medium in which I'm taking notes, that summarizing the content in my own words is far more valuable than trying to take down exactly what someone is saying. Do you do the same?

I suppose that if I'd learned shorthand, or could type way faster than I do, that creating a transcript might be worthwhile. I don't know, though; it seems like processing it for a summary forces me to engage with the material more than just rote typing does, and I then retain the information more easily.
Wormhole promises to be a better longer-living Firefox Send alternative
How exactly could it be implemented though? EFF and Firefox immediately started a session attacking anything similar to it and demanding that ALL targeting ads stop.

There doesn't seem to be space for dialog or a common standard here, either Google does it or they fail and Firefox and privacy wins the world!

It's worth mentioning though that your repo could leak metadata about what accounts you have, and your username, depending on how you name your pass entries (ie. you can mitigate it by adopting a more cryptic naming scheme for sensitive entries). Just something to be aware of, it may not matter for your use case. Bitbucket still offers free private repos, which I use for my password store.
Ask HN: What's the product you HATE using and why?
I'll go first, mine is JIRA. It gets in the way, and things generally go there to die out, tons of information lost forever. I've seen whole product backlogs deleted to never return.
> The chance the disease kills you is 1 in 100

It's 6 in 1000 if you listen to the CDC; personally I think the real number is closer to 3 in 1000. That's not too far off from what you said but I prefer being more explicit rather than using such a fuzzy resolution.

And just to be explicit, that's the general IFR, the IFR for, say, people in their 20's, or even people in their 40's, is a fraction of that.

---

Anyway, your point about risk management is somewhat true, but it is much more true if you apply that logic to the general public's fear of SARS-2 in the first place. I can't find it in my notes but surveys that have asked people what their chance of dying is if they catch the virus, are off by MULTIPLE orders of magnitude. And young people rank their individual risk of death higher than old people do (both estimate too high, even the old people), presumably due to them being more "plugged in" to "the system" so to speak.

Personally speaking, since I'm in my 20's, almost everyone I know who has gotten the vaccine has done so because they believe outright falsehoods about the virus that have been propagated not just by the media but by our so-called health experts themselves.

For example, I have multiple friends who had PCR-confirmed COVID-19, recovered months ago, and still got the vaccine. In the times I've probed at them to see why, they muttered some vague things about "the variants" and essentially said that the variants bypass naturalistic immunity which is just completely false.

I know for a fact that my likelihood of an acute adverse reaction (the all-too-common "feeling like death for a day" reaction) is far higher than the likelihood of comparable symptoms from SARS-2 infection. So I'm not getting the vaccine, and I'm not embarrassed to say so. For many people, the risks of the virus are less than risks of the vaccine; however, much less people than you would think. We don't have good enough data yet but I'd bet it crosses over somewhere in the 40's or 50's age range.

There's a huge difference between being an "anti-vaxxer" in the true sense of the word - i.e. you think all vaccines are inherently bad, period - and being someone who takes the same attitude towards vaccines that we do towards drugs: no drug is inherently safe; rather drugs that are proven to be safe are safe. By extension, no vaccine is inherently safe; vaccines that are proven to be safe are safe.

The latter statement is my personal view of it, and unfortunately such a statement can get you banned from social media platforms if you get unlucky.

This binary way of dividing the world into "anti-vaxxer" vs not, "AIDS denialist" vs not, etc is not just oversimplified but is intentionally done to suppress dissent. I refuse to participate in such a culture and I humbly implore you to do so as well.
Other languages don't enforce whitespace around logical operators. Like `0xf||1+2` is perfectly valid javascript.

I can see how this could slip by, it's possible that original python used a non-alphabetical token as the logical operator, then it was swapped out at some later time for or and and.
Like I said - "This bug is considered an exploit and therefore it is against the rules to use."

Exploits aren't allowed. If a bug isn't considered an exploit and isn't explicitly against the rules they are fine to use them.
I've only used keypassx on windows, but the auto fill feature was amazing.

You would push a key shortcut, then based on the window title of whatever window has focus, it would simulate key presses into it. So I could type secure credentials into any program on my computer with one key stroke.
Here are some of the pros of the Pass:

* It leaks meta-data. That might sound a con, but in exchange you get the ability to extract a password without decrypting and thus exposing other passwords. There is isolation.

* It’s more convenient than a single file password manager. You type ‘’pass -c goo’’ for your Google account, instead of clicking on your password manager, typing password, searching in data base, finding the right entry, copying password or pressing auto complete and closing the database. The combination of mouse and keyboard can make alternative password managers slower.

* You don’t need your master password to add a new password (it uses asymmetric encryption).

* You can easily program it, eg, write a backup script that grab a password from store.

* It uses GPG which means your secret key can be stored on Yubikey, handled by a dedicated agent. Your password is basically a short PIN with max 3 tries. This is unparalleled convenience and security!

* It’s secure, because it’s a short bash script that you can check, and delegates encryption to a dedicated well-audited cryptographic tool.

* You can encrypt to multiple keys, thus use it similar to LUKS that supports multiple passwords.

* GPG is usually widely available, so you can decrypt a password on another system on which you may not admin rights to install your password manager.

There might be few cons though. For example, if you store your database on a cloud, say, Dropbox, Dropbox could switch your Dropbox.com file with google.com file, and you copy and hand over your Google password to Dropbox. But this is hypothetical for most of us! Also, some people don’t like metadata (filenames) leakage, though apparently there are solutions for that.

Overall it’s very convenient and functional. I highly recommend it.
That's not quite true, the article's section on regression to the mean[1] largely covers the same territory as Nuhfer's article (although Nuhfer never uses that precise phrase).

Random noise is a primary reason that we see regression to the mean in most contexts (the exception being actual deterministic factors, such as seasonality, the restoring force of a spring, etc.)

The chain of reasoning goes like:

Random noise (Nuhfer)
-> can cause regression to mean (covered in the article)
-> calls into question the Dunning-Kruger effect

A mostly pointless nitpick on my part.

Regardless though, I'm not sure "Jews weren't being attacked because there weren't many Jews to attack" is much of an argument.

Completely off-topic, but I really dislike the writing style of your comment: short, isolated sentences stated as facts, like many religious texts.

It reminds me of Hemingway, with the difference that he was able to write full paragraphs.

Ah, there is an Android app [1] which you sync the passwords to and it basically presents a list of all your websites. To use a password: tap on the website name, unlock your GPG key, and then see your password and put it in your phone's copy/paste buffer.

It's because people don't think of these implications, and software companies are deliberately dishonest these days. People are stuck in the mindset that tech companies are benevolent with their customers best interest at heart, and are somehow different in philosophy than those cold hard brick and mortar companies that only care about a dollar. This is why Chrome market share remains so high.

They probably get an unsolicited email every 10 days, just like I do, from slackbot, asking them to install the slack desktop client to get a "better experience," because someone at work added you to the slack channel. Only they don't realize that the slack desktop app is just a second web browser dedicated to going to slack.com, that they are running while they are presumably running their first web browser. Slackbot doesn't tell you that you are wasting compute having two browsers open, just that it's 'better' somehow than running the site on the browser you already have open. It also isn't very clear that once you have slack open, all your coworkers can see you are "available" like its 2001 and you are logging into AIM.
