Besides what others have mentioned, there is one feature i really miss from not just bitwarden but almost every other password manager. I basically just want a password manager that can store my secrets (2FA tokens included!) in an encrypted format, integrates with filling passwords on desktops and handheld devices, _AND is able to (two way) synchronize this encrypted storage as a simple file to whatever storage i prefer.

That might be iCloud, OneDrive, WebDAV, S3, or simply just a SMB server on my local network. My main negative point about Bitwarden is that it either requires me to store passwords in a cloud on a subscription service, or it requires me to selfhost something.

Selfhosting is (probably) fine if we're talking a Plex server or something that isn't mission critical, but hosting a bitwarden server suddenly requires me to be a sysadm in my spare time, something i'd rather keep to my daytime job (and nights when operations calls, and weekends when things needs upgrading).

The only password manager i've found that ticks most boxes is password-store (https://www.passwordstore.org/), but it lacks in browser integration, and by default leaks web addresses for the stored secrets. Other than that it works well. It's self contained, and uses git for synchronization, meaning i can be "on the go", add a password, and synchronize it to a local git service on my LAN when i get back home, or in case i need it on another platform _now_, i can connect through VPN and synchronize.

You can get this sort of satisfaction for much less money. Try a Volla phone [1] or a KaiOS based phone [2]. That's always funny when some services assume that just having an iOS or Android App (and no equivalent web-page) is enough to cater to everyone.

Especially in the corona-virus crisis it will prove interesting whether some mandated "contact tracing" or "vaccination pass" style Apps are going to effectively turn into an Android/iOS Smartphone requirement for everyday life.

In Germany it's e.g. already impossible to use the DHL parcel receival stations without Android/iOS. Loss of some ticket options for public transport also seems to be on the horizon. Also forget about car- and bike-sharing.

Also some banks try to force you to install their own proprietary TFA app for online payment (even if you just use your credit card in an online shop).

They'd just force you to buy one (if evil) / issue a cheap one from company (if friendly).

Up to a couple of years ago I didn't have a (modern) smartphone, I had a Symbian Samsung and a LG Cookie. Had to upgrade because the canteen payment scrapped their "prepay credit" payment mechanism based on ID and would just take a live-generated-in-browser QR code instead. There was basically no cost to still support the old system but people like me are so few that it doesn't matter.

More fossil fuels can be done with enough time, so fossil fuels are infinite too as long as time doesn't cease to exist, right? Sorry, but I don't understand where you want to get. If we take that point of view, then everything is infinite, and it is impossible to have a discussion about economy in that context.

>>You don't need to "cram" for something if you understand it well. It's a matter of techniques, not answers.

No, you absolutely do need to cram to get through the interviews. In fact the questions on leetcode are designed for this very purpose. Every question has one common theme. And one 'catch' that you absolutely need to know to solve them.

If you haven't looked at a question in X months chances are you will struggle to solve it quickly even if you have solved it before.

If you are out of a job, just buy leetcode premium. Keep doing it for 15 hours a day. Then start applying for interviews.

I can't agree more. Too many people with ADHD are unhappy because they compare to normal people. You can't. ADHD is like not having an arm or leg. You never will be able to do some things and with others you will need a lot of special training. And that's fine. The challenge is to find what is worth to fight for. And many things are not.

There's scarcity in everything that has a price that's bigger than zero.

The link between wages and productivity goes via competition:

Eg assume your labour can make one employer x $/h (after taxes and equipment, cost of capital etc), and some other employer y $/h. Assume x > y, then the first employer better bid at least y $/h for your services, otherwise the other guy can make a profit by poaching you.

> Also there is political implication of looking at people who are poorly paid and saying something like "They should increase their skill-level to get out of poverty" which I think misses the mark totally.

Well, if anything, the truth is often politically inconvenient.

Alas, the problem is that many people can't _just_ increase their productivity like that.

(But as a society, we could try to help them. In general, on the level of a society, no matter how you arrange economics, even in a socialist paradise: productivity is king. Society as a whole can not consume more in the long run than they produce as a whole.)

> Regarding Amazon and Walmart Even though it might be not a real monopsony in literal sense, it could be an effective monopsony where Amazon and Walmart pay what they want essentially (due to the big difference in bargaining power between employees and employers).

I have no clue what this bargaining power is supposed to be?

Amazon is competing with Walmart is competing with McDonalds is competing with Uber etc for low skilled labour. No need to bring any nebulous 'bargaining power' into the discussion?

> I thought that precisely that there is a lot of people who decide between shitty job and homelessness there is no real competition there.

The decision is between multiple shitty jobs.

(Compared to what our descendants in a 100 years will expect, all our jobs are shitty. Compared to what was available a 100 years ago for our ancestors, almost all our jobs and perks are crazy awesome: people working at Walmart can afford smart phones.)

> My whole point is that looking at labour as a commodity which is being sold and bought on the market gives a much clearer view on issues like unions, anti-trust, monopoly.

Well, you are sort-of right. This perspective is enlightening.

Unions trying to monopolize labour is a bit of a problem, yes.

Anti-trust legislation is mostly used by entities who can afford expensive lawyers to keep the pesky competition at bay.

Monopsony ain't much of a problem in the market for low skilled labour in the US, especially for people willing to move. (And for monopsony not to be a problem we only need enough people being willing to move, not everyone. The margin matters.)
It seems like it's supposed to be "Pannini", after a painter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_stitching#Pannini), and that's what the original paper says.

But when the lead author spells it both ways in the same URL, and many software implementations use "Panini", it gets a bit confusing!
It's not "my solution." It's an observation about what actually happens in the world, in practice.

One important aspect of what I described is that it requires an awareness of when one's beliefs are out of line with widely accepted positions. That awareness helps avoid pointless and unnecessary conflict, and may also cause
one to reconsider the specifics of one's beliefs. Lacking that awareness is likely to lead to trouble.

When someone finds themselves defending child predators, it suggest that they are severely lacking in that kind of self-awareness. Social shaming in that situation is not unreasonable, and may help the person improve their understanding of how their beliefs fit into the world.

It doesn't by itself, but it's a much better start. You can simply match up addresses with activity from other digital systems. That link is present in a global, transparent, up to the minute, cheap to ingest data source (the blockchain).

Comparing that to any other payment system (or combination of) where there is due process in collecting this information (hopefully accurate and valid) you're going to have a much easier time developing tools to detect and alert with Bitcoin.

> Deno glue code around V8 is written in Rust.

Maybe this is not the best way of putting it. They use Rust for all the system bits including networking, so it's not like they just wrote some JS to V8/C++ glue code in Rust.
State capitalism is the only viable implementation of communism. Humans will not share unless co-opted, so the use of violence is required for the proletariat to seize resources.

> What about a society in which nobody has to worry for a place to sleep and food to feed their children?

We have this society, today. There are a few outliers, and yes, life is tough for many (most?), but we are way way better off as compared to any other time in history.

> In which nobody has to work side gigs to pay for education or health bills?

This is an issue with America, not capitalism. Fight for single payer and to cap student loans to ~$10,000/year like most other countries did.

> Communism is when power and resources are shared, which is what the Soviet (workers councils) revolution was about before the Bolsheviks (Lenin's sect)

This is an issue in itself though. If state violence is required to force people to share, then anyone who co-opts control of the state is suddenly in the position of a dictator, with effectively unlimited power over all resources. Capitalist parliaments are a magnet for psychopaths, true, and it's worse in a communist system because the only way you can survive is by making sure the ones in charge like you.

> Capitalism is just as rude as Mao's rule, you just can't see it if you're part of the tiny privileged elite (as most of us on HN are)

Excuse me, but I make ~O(£20k) per year. I am not rich, nor am I poor, but you can fuck right off calling me part of "the tiny privileged elite".

To be honest, after that statement, I cannot any further path for good faith debate here, so I will leave it at that.
I'm mixed on this. Sometimes this stuff is good for planning and productivity, but it's also so open to treat humans like animals e.g next they'll update motion detection to make sure they weren't still for more than 3 min and so on.

Government really needs to regulate this to find a balance between reasonable and not to protect those that don't have easy alternate employment options.

Also generally, if a company wants this they should supply the device and data. Otherwise they are offloading cost to workers.
That's not a solution though, that's working around the symptoms. The solution would be to ban these practices on a federal level.

There is no value in this GPS data as such, it's the techy equivalent of clocking in- and out - the fear from the employer is that the employee is skipping out on work.

I'm on Android running the latest beta of Firefox and after an initial black screen for a second or two, the website operates quite smoothly.

I have seen quite a few comments from people on Macbooks that have a terrible experience with the website, though, so maybe the problem is related to that? It could be that the GPU isn't great at rendering the specific code path this website hits, or that the network card hits some kind of edge case with the way this website deals with its assets, or something entirely different.

It could also just be that the richer dev crowd generally buys Macbooks and the numbers are overstated, of course.

I find this quite ironic.

A few years ago, when I was casting round for a new compiled language to tinker with, I looked at Nim, Go and Crystal.

I thought I'd really like Nim as I was reasonably familiar with Python. But I found it just different enough to be really confusing. Also [at that time anyway. I don't know what the situation is now] I found the documentation pretty sparse and the discussion forum pretty unwelcoming for a newbie. It seemed entirely populated by the people actually responsible for designing the language, mostly discussing really high level arcane aspects of its implementation, which went right over my head.

The general approach to anyone new to the language seemed to be 'RTFM!" --except there wasn't a manual!

So almost everyone involved in the language recommended the 'Nim in Action' book as the de facto manual. I argued with a few people at the time, including the book's author [who came across as a bit of an arrogant arsehole] that; seeing as the book seemed to be pretty much the only recommended beginner's guide to the language, the people behind Nim should bung the author a wodge of cash and make the ebook available for free [as pretty much every other programming language does, in some way or another] if they wanted to attract new users.

Of course, I was [metaphorically] 'downvoted into oblivion' for making this suggestion, with the general theme of the comments being "If you want to learn a language properly, you should be prepared to invest in doing so!"

I thought at the time and I still think that the Nim team really shot themselves in the foot on this one. I'm sure many other people who were potentially interested in Nim but needed a bit of hand-holding to get started did as I did; gave up and went elsewhere, looking for other languages, where the documentation was freely available.

So, as I said at the top. Ironic that, several years down the line, this book is now being given away for free [albeit for a limited time]. A case of 'too little, far too late' [for me anyway].

---

PS: This post isn't meant in anyway to be a criticism of Nim itself. I know that most people who use it love it. More a criticism of the non-sensical policy of expecting people to have to fork out cash up front, just to come and kick the tyres of your new language.

PPS: A while later, after I'd moved on from wanting to learn about Nim, I eventually got to see a copy of Nim in Action. Flicking through it, I wasn't all that impressed. It seemed to be pretty much a long-winded tutorial on building one specific project [a Twitter clone, if I remember correctly] rather than a comprehensive introductory guide to the language.
> I still am in awe at some of the things he has said with impunity. Including comments he made about child pornography that are verified and abhorrent.

Which comments? As an aside, I'm too a victim, but I think people should be reeducated, not punished (that American obsession with punishment...) for what they do, not for what they say. Crazy about how many people want to punish another people for what they say, in the land of freedom of speech. I must be missing something, honestly.

I don't know where you live, but even though yes, such a right exists, it doesn't mean you shouldn't fear the government or its actions.

US is extremely bad about this, but most western countries have this problem - let's say that you get accused of something(unfairly). In most western countries(with some exceptions) media can immediately print "_ZeD_ has been arrested on suspicion of murder!". You are usually arrested and kept until trial if the accusation is strong enough. In the meantime, you lose your job. You lose your friends and family support, except for the select few who actually believe your innocence. Your neighbours immediately know they live next to a murderer(even though nothing has been proven yet). And yes, in some countries(US....) you can be waiting a year for trial. Then, the trial is meant to be "fair", but surprise, it's a jury trial - the very opposite of fair, it's basically 12 random people deciding whether you should go to prison or not. 12 people who have spent the last year watching the news explaining how guilty you are and how the local police department is certain they "have the right guy". But sure, you got your "fair trial".

But let's say you win. You are cleared of all charges, and are free to go. The government will not automatically reimburse you for the time you spent in jail(or some very nominal amount), your old employer is not required to give you your job back, and there will forever be people around you who secretly think you are actually guilty and just managed to escape justice.

Or, you could just not trust the government and never ever put yourself in a situation which increases any chances of being accused of anything, fairly or not. The government has infinite amount of money and time to make your life miserable if someone is dedicated enough. They can make your life absolute hell or basically put you in a never ending loop of trials, which even if you keep winning, they can just bring more on, while your life is ruined.

A private corporation can also make your life hell, but the only difference here is that at the very least, they would have to have a financial reason to do so. The government doesn't need that reason, all you need is one career prosecutor who thinks they can get a nice reputation by making an example of you.

And the funny thing is, I generally trust our justice system(here in UK at least). I trust the police, I trust the court system. And yet I would never ever willingly give the government any information that is not absolutely 100% required by law for some essential function. Nuh uh. Nope.
