Bitwarden is awesome. It's my current password manager after I left 1P.

I spent hundreds into 1P before the subscription model, as their apps were expensive and got them on multiple OS and for family members.

Then Dropbox decided (rightfully) that you shouldn't use your public folder to host websites, and 1P told their customers to either get a subscription or lose the online vault which is a critical feature of any password manager. They didn't even have the decency to offer a free year of the subscription to their current paying customers.

It would have cost 1P pennies to just host the vaults on S3, but they decided to force their customers to switch to the subscription model if they wanted to have a feature they had already paid for and 1P had been advertising for years.

I will never give a single cent to 1P again.
I live outside of US, precisely India and see many videos of Ring on YouTube which are marketed as avoided huge loss because of ring

Of all the years in which you could make this argument, this year is probably the worst.

In the "well functioning democracy" U.S. You have:

- Mistrust in institutions

- An insane asset inflation bubble fueled by the biggest fiat printing spree ever

Sure, the state hasn't failed. But are you really surprised people want to expose themselves to a new paradigm with different fundamentals for money and finance, this year?
I wont be having fun, as I wouldn't touch ETH. But you acknowledge this situation is bad, and could be the cause of more drama (potentially economy breaking drama)?

I mean there are a lot of opeds in Hebrew (some lamenting this supposed failure) and Arabic press right now saying exactly that, so I wouldn't rule it out entirely.
A big factor in entrepreneurship that is undervalued is desperation. When you have a cushy tech job to fall back on, you simply won't try as hard as when you have no safety net. Right now it feels like it's okay to fail and you're only really risking the opportunity cost of a higher salary. "Forced entrepreneurs" risk great personal consequences because they have no other options. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing for society.

Every software error? True. But essentially every software error, especially errors of significance? Untrue. The Space Shuttle control software was famous for its rigorous process control, and deliberately written in a language difficult to introduce bugs in. Over decades of development and 420,000 total lines of code, it appears that a total of 17 bugs ever made it into software used during a launch, with an average of about 1 bug at a time existing in the codebase. Processes to prevent errors from being introduced played a huge part in this, but the comprehensive verification and simulation process was also necessary to achieve such a low defect rate.

Maybe it's because I'm living in a latino country, but it certainly seems like men start with too much confidence since teenage years, and slowly brings it down so everyone stop calling them arrogant, then there is their appropriate level. While for females (again, at least here in this latino country) it's the opposite, they start off being super humble and careful, and while growing up gaining more and more confidence until finding the right level.

Of course, this is a broad generalization, but seems to fit where I'm living right now, but it's all anecdotal as it's based on my own perceived view of things of course.
In any other industry, having companies compete against each other to create the best product in order to attract customers is the ideal situation... except television?

People might not like balkanization of content, but it forces different services to compete against each other in a way that produces more and better content overall. More to the point, it's frankly no different to how TV channels used to work in the past.
1) First, do you need sales or marketing. Often people mix these 2 things so best to check in on that. Marketing is looking after the brand and the more broad areas of selling a product like pricing, websites, ads, sponsorship, social. Sales is more promotional events and going to trade shows to get product into shops. Hope this isn't pedantic (and you may well know this already) but if asking for advice from industry people sales vs marketing advice request will get potentially different approaches and answers.

2) I think you need to work on your messaging and tightening. There seem to be 4 messages being presented when I look at the site: less chalk, good grip, repair skin, environmentally friendly. It seems quite spread out and you could tighten the focus to 2: less chalk and good grip, the others are addon ons after the fact. But what it really seems to miss for me is what we call 'RTB' (reason to believe).

A solid messaging format for selling is:

- Make a claim
- Give reason(s) to believe that claim
- CTA (Call to action) - e.g. buy it here.

I feel you're missing the the RTB. The claim is there but why should I use less chalk? Maybe a climber knows this but do they really care? Maybe this is my ignorance of a common issue but this information seems missing. And 'good friction' what does this mean? I want better friction and tell me why it is. What makes this skin repair better than any other cream?

I would look to add RTB + add it in nice easy to digest text snippets + videos for the people that want more. Find some test like showing 2 wooden blocks stay together better as too tilt them with cream vs chalk type thing... sure you can do better.

Also Id drop the environmental stuff to the lower/footer. Its important but fundamentally its a checkbox for most people and they want to focus more on the immediate benefit to them, and you want to concentrate, not dilute that key message.

And I suspect better grip is going to be the strongest message if true and you had to boil it down to one.

3) I saw 3 distributors listed - I would work on that as a key focus. Years of marketing has taught me Id prefer great distribution with and average product than average distribution of a great product. This goes against common sense, especially for technical people but its a reality of product.

4) One of the first things I did was look at Fb for reviews and comments but didn't see anything. Definitely need to get community engagement for feedback on the product, to build trust and organic traffic

5) Are you A/B testing? That's the best way to learn if you have traffic to play with on much of above.

Anyway, looks like you have solid foundations in place, good luck getting it to take off!
Until last year or so, Google intentionally gave a worse version of google search when using Firefox on Android. I installed a user-agent-spoofer to pretend to be Chrome, and I got the perfectly functioning page. But then I also got results including AMP links, so quickly disabled the extension and went back to the old ugly result page...

9 out of 10 times AMP pages in Firefox failed to be scrollable. Like the static/fixed top and bottom banner somehow screwed up scroll behavior.

Worse, if the overall Ethereum community reaches a consensus that a malicious entity attempted to take over the network, then the devs will fork the blockchain to rollback the particular transactions with the malicious entity, and the new blockchain will keep chugging along as normal while the attacker has just lost a shitton of dollars to buy 100BB. (This is similar to what happened with the DAO previously, although the reason for it was bugs rather than a 51% attack)
> Most of what you get from elixir in terms of redundancy, high availability, etc you can have that anyway from kubernetes, heroku or any PaaS.... you will need more than 1 server anyway, so...

For what is worth, that's one of the reasons why Elixir exists in the first place. I find the Erlang VM a fantastic platform and there is no reason to restrict it to high availability/distributed scenarios. Elixir developers should be productive and write performant and maintainable applications, even if at the end of the day they are just pushing to Heroku. Especially if you are coming from another dynamic language, such as JS/Ruby/Python.

As I like to say, in the "worst" case scenario, you can use Elixir as you would any other language, and that's completely fine!

If you want/need to go deeper, the abstractions are there to do so, and that's the difference compared to K8s: it is happening one layer inside. The high-level principles of redundancy and availability exist at the library level, so you can look at your connection pool, message queue, http clients, and find the same ideas there. Another area where K8s directly complements Erlang is in helping establish clusters. Overall, they are rather working together rather than stepping on each other toes. I wrote more about this here: https://dashbit.co/blog/kubernetes-and-the-erlang-vm-orchest...

Bitwarden is awesome, and super easy to self host with Docker. Heck, you could get a $5/mo DO droplet and host bitwarden_rs along with a static site or a bunch of other things! I wouldn’t suggest this to people who are unfamiliar with hosting, Linux, docker, and how to make backups, so the self hosting is admittedly limited in appeal, but even their SaaS offering seems like a great deal!
I found the following article to be helpful in understanding some of these processes

How does calling 'native integration features' make it 'native'?.

If the whole app is running in a 'browser' (which is exactly what Electron apps do) it is not a native app. 1Password 7 on my Mac is a native app.

> What are you looking for in non electron apps that is missing in this version of app?

In general. That fact that I don't need to upgrade the RAM of my computer to run multiple apps at the same time. I can do that with native apps perfectly but not with downloading and using tons of Electron apps. Has to be close one app and open another or else the computer grinds to a halt.

Adding one more Electron app to the mix (Regardless of using 'Rust') makes it a step closer to running my computer to the ground.
I went to view the comments on that post and all 6 of them are shadowbanned
Since 1Password for Linux appears to be backed by Electron, perhaps it’s a sign that other platforms’ native clients will be replaced by an Electron-based client to get these new features.
There's no on-chain governance like that. Some other blockchains do it but Ethereum devs are skeptical. The upgrade process will keep working like it does now.
A lot of what I do is compiling, so for that I'd still be fine with fewer cores and a lot less RAM. But I also do backtesting of trading strategies, and for that I can use all the cores I can get. The memory is needed to cache the massive amount of data that is being read from a pair of 2T NVME SSDs. Without adequate caching, I/O can easily become the bottleneck, even though the SSDs are pretty fast.

This is the point of slashing, to prevent the same coins from being staked on multiple chains at the same time. To stake you need to issue proofs of the stake which can be used to slash you on other chains.

All the Nano was invented 100% the day it was made. So its really just a shell game to pass on the worthless day 0 tokens for more than 0 after day 0 -- just like every other PoS coin ever. Contrast with PoW, where coins cost REAL money every block to produce.

It costs very little to transfer something of little value.

ETC has been 51% attacked 4 times and it's still the 17th largest cryptocurrency.

https://www.coindesk.com/crypto-51-attacks-etc

Furthermore it's become pretty clear from the many attacks on value tokens in Etherum & BSC DeFi that the attacker can move faster that the market and drain any liquidity pools/exchanges that have open offers into something that isn't going to collapse.

The theory early on was that the coin cratering b/c of an attack would be an extra deterrent, but the price of coins that have been successfully 51% attacked says otherwise.

Here's another cryptocurrency in the top 100 that has suffered many 51% attacks.

Good. Very good.

This may be a radical take, but I think nations should introduce some unprecedented legislation: ban trade of proof-of-work cryptocurrencies.

Don't ban their trade because they make poor financial products, either because of rampant fraud or criminal activity. That's a different argument and requires different approaches. Ban their trade because global society shouldn't accept rampant incentives to literally burn up energy [1] to make financial products. Especially because proof-of-work simply just isn't necessary to have cryptocurrency.

Banning their trade won't categorically stop PoW cryptocurrencies. What it should do is completely tank their value and get the world to move on to less destructive coins.

I don't think there's any precedent for banning classes of financial products for environmental reasons, but it's time to create one.

[1]: In addition to environmental reasons, there's probably also economic ones. Mining burns through other scarce resources such as chip production capacity, although the true impact there is unclear.
Random question about PaulGraham.com: I noticed that the header of his blog posts are always images; not text. e.g. "fierce-nerds-1.gif".

I'm just five years older than you and strongly relate to these descriptions of being a nerd, having academic interests not shared by young peers and consequently caring very little for social games. Even in adulthood, unless I carefully choose who I hang out with. And I'm from Europe, not the US, so it's not a thing local to the US either.

If it's truly a generational change, that would be a very interesting development. Especially if it happened in just the five years between when we were teenagers - I had no impression that people a few years younger than me had a wildly different experience than me. But I could certainly be mistaken.

Do you find no familiarity at all in these descriptions? Meaning some of the following - Being more interested in reading than gossiping, liking technical projects more than team sports, being uninterested in popularity contests and social status games to such a degree that you barely care about losing them, prioritizing learning over number of superficial acquaintances, having ideas and thoughts that you assume to be true but for which you experience lashback for stating out loud. Potentially experiencing some loneliness or hostility over this, not necessarily making that part of your identity, eventually seeking a small number of like-minded folks...

Has the world really changed this much? From my perspective, it seems likely that you're just not the target demographic for this essay.
EVs are perfect second cars or city cars. You don't need to charge them completely all the time. If you want to take a road trip then get a PHEV, or a Hybrid.

It does, you immediately assume someone is attacking the M1 because we question someone's assertion that the M1 is 30 something percent faster based on one small compilation benchmark.

But that's only because Ethereum is currently on PoW, so (naive) people don't care.

The market cap will also increase as you buy loads of coins. For example if I went on coinbase pro, there are people willing to sell up to 50,000 ETH at a maximum price of $6,000, or a total cost of $220,000 million. Of course Coinbase isn't the only market, but if it was and I bought that 220,000 million dollars of ETH the market cap would now be around 700B, at least temporarily.

My guess would be at some point people would realize a takeover was occurring and panic, but it seems like a 51% buyout would require an ungodly amount of money and time.
There have been multiple examples of 51% attacks happening and the cryptocurrency it happened to not going to zero.

Etherum classic and Bitcoin gold come to mind. They are both in the top 100 still, and both have been 51% attack multiple times.
I've seen that too. 20 instead of 2. Can it go to 200? Not really.
I don't think that helps my comprehension of this. Unless I am mistaken, it seems like a long winded essay on how cryptocurrencies are simply social constructs.
