Okay well let's limit the conversation to #1, then. Let's start with legal, since it's easier.

---

So, I don't understand what any of what you linked has to do with "legalizing the existence of trans people." Nothing referenced in the wikipedia article is remotely to do with making it illegal to be transgender, and I have never heard an argument advocating for that.

So what is being debated is whether or not transgender individuals should be granted protections on the basis of their gender identity. That is not debating whether or not they should exist, it is debating whether or not an additional legislative layer should be put in place to prevent workplace discrimination on the basis of gender identity.

Then there is a debate about birth certificates, about whether or not transgender individuals should be able to have their birth certificate reflect their chosen gender identity, but this is just as much to do with language as anything else. The concept of sex vs gender identity, and the meaning of "gender" as ambiguous between those depending on political faction. Again, this isn't a debate about whether transgender people can legally exist, it's a debate about whether the world should be altered so as to conform to their own perception of themselves.

---

This leads to "recognition." Your definition of "recognition" seems to be "recognized within the exact framing of themselves as they wish to be seen." Let's consider two examples of identity related dysphoria. One is a born biological male who considers his gender identity to be female, and one is a man on a street corner that believes himself to be Jesus Christ. If the rest of society refused to see the man on the corner as Jesus Christ, would you say that this was society not recognizing the existence of the man? Surely not. The acceptance of his existence, and the application of all human rights applied to the individual have nothing to do with whether or not people accept this man on all of the terms of his asserted identity. In regards to transgender individuals, accepting this person's identity often boils down to strict hardline questions, a la "is this person a woman?" Any degree of nuance in the answer to that question is to be understood as society "not recognizing the existence" of transgender people? No. I'm sorry. But a failure to recognize somebody exactly within the framing of their own identity that they put forward is not the same as not accepting their existence. That language is absurd.
That's been their M.O. for years. I get their emails, and they are similar.
The kinds of bills that some large company development environments end up running are surprisingly high, but those companies also think the opportunity cost of losing productivity on application team developers to also very high. That's how you find companies that decide to hire very expensive teams to, say, add types to a dynamic language, rewrite a standard library, invest in massive parallelism to run thousands of CPU hour integration tests in 15 minutes, or many other projects like that which no normal company would ever consider. If it gets some project team to cut delivery times by 3 weeks, it's all considered worthwhile.

Where we run into trouble is when we try to copy the shape of those big companies, and the kind of initiatives they fund, into startups, or mid-range companies. In quite a few ways, those top companies are better at development, but the base costs are only worthwhile if you have a money fountain of real revenue that grows far faster than your dev expenses. Trying to copy them with very different conditions is going to lead to tough problems, possibly company killing, and it's the kind of imitation we see all over the industry.

So yes, someone like Github is going to have eye popping expenses, because the alternatives to avoid those expenses just don't make sense to them. If you are not working in a multi billion dollar company, their practices can be interesting, but it makes as much sense to emulate them as it'd make for you to hire an entire Formula 1 pit crew to keep your commuter car in good shape.
They're fixed now as I tried from my side. Please let me know if you see them other way :)
> Why would anyone try to trick two women into making allegations that a guy is a creep? They fully well know that these allegations will blow up their careers and are very likely to be unsuccessful in influencing Aubrey de Grey's career long term.

The person or people that would be tricking other people in this scenario into coming forward wouldn't necessarily have a career blown up, just the people they tricked.

I think the implication he's going for is "I had two, and just two somewhat sketchy interactions in the past, and neither were all that bad, and then those people were convinced there there were a lot more that happened they didn't know about, and so felt compelled to step forward with their experiences to help others, even though those additional experiences never happened."

On the one hand, I can see a possibility where that's possible, and this wasn't even premeditated to this extend, and it was just someone on the board badmouthing him and implying stuff, and it traveled between people and got out of hand, but on the other had, that seems pretty unlikely. You'd think someone willing to publicly speak about their experiences like this that might expect backlash would be more careful than to do so without making very sure to investigate a bit more, so the "it's really just you two and wasn't great, but not all that bad" defense isn't really a strong one, at least not if any other evidence comes forth. If none comes forth, that will be interesting (but at the same time we'll all have moved on and will likely associate Aubrey de Grey with this even if he's later somewhat vindicated in some way).
“ But developers who can work independently are a lot more valuable than those that require close supervision, and those developers are considerably more value than those who are actively destroying value.”

True. But most people reach that point after a few years or never.
Gotta love how the goal post just keeps moving forward.
This was the original application of Air Conditioning: to reduce the humidity of air inside a building.
"Less likely" applies to random events. Sabotaging or stealing code has nothing of random in it. You can claim it becomes "harder", what it does, a very small bit that doesn't warrant anything like the claims on the GP.

All it changes is that the attacker will have to launch the browser or rewrite some part of it (what he can do, because the browser auto-updates with your access level), instead of simply taking the files.

Oh, and by the way, not all software running on your machine has complete access to the filesystem. Reading your code and changing your browser requires basically the same level of access.
Are you saying that xenophobia is a rampant problem in Sweden and that this chance encounter with an obviously mentally unstable individual somehow proves it? Tied with the Netherlands, I doubt there are any countries in the EU where it's easier to be an American than Sweden.
Hah! Thankfully that doesn't happen too often. Worst thing that happens is I forget to turn off my Hotspot when I get home and drop into a Zoom meeting on it and use all my 4g data on accident.

I made one for my Citizen RF synced watch. It works.
There is a framework for this kind of regulation in place already, in the form of money transmitter licensing.

Coinbase, for instance, is licensed as a money transmitter in 40+ states, and relies on those licenses to do business in most of the United States, including with regards to the issuance of USDC, per my understanding. Paypal also operates in the United States under this licensing scheme.

The rigor of money transmitter regulation and licensing requirements varies state by state, but regulators' rigor overall has been increasing steadily for decades. In addition to annual and quarterly paper filing requirements, a number of states—including California, New York, and Texas, among others—perform periodic (often annual) on-site examinations of licensed companies—paid-for by licensees—wherein visiting examiners expect to have complete access to records and data.

These examinations are rigorous. After an examination, it is very unlikely that a stablecoin issuer will be allowed to continue operating as a licensed entity without being financially sound, and without fully backing its financial obligations with safe investments.

Any inability by a licensee to comply with requests made during the course of an examination, and any inability to provide acceptable answers to questions asked, can result in fines, limitations placed on the operations of the licensee, or even the loss of the license. Depending on the jurisdiction, and depending on the specific activity, operating without a license may be a crime, and would likely put a licensee out of business.

Among the requirements imposed under these licensing schemes are bonding requirements, and "permissible investment" requirements. Typically, permitted investments include bank deposits and government debt, supplemented by surety bonds issued by large insurers. In many ways, these liquidity requirements are more rigorous than those imposed on banks. Most outstanding consumer liabilities—presumably including stablecoins issued by a licensee—must be backed by these permissible investments.

Of course, given that there are 50 separate state regulatory regimes with regards to money transmission, and given stablecoins' novelty, regulation specifically pertaining to stablecoins is not standardized yet. This is a matter of education and standards setting among regulators, however. It is not a matter of requiring new legislation at the national level, or even at the state level; nor does it necessarily require major involvement by the federal bank regulators. In most US states, banking regulators already have sufficient legal authority to craft stablecoin regulations if they want to—and they have the operational capacity to enforce such regulations as well—based on their authority to license and regulate money transmitters.
How Rich Presence was able to be achieved in WSL for a Neovim plugin.

Anyone want to verify/validate the WSL 2 section?
Maybe the supermarkets here are different?

We all keep good spacing (1.5m) between each other, wear face masks, etc.

Very, very different to the protests apparently, judging by the photos in the newspapers.
I'm glad I've been using Bitwarden anyway, I guess, but to me, this is totally unacceptable for security-critical software. You absolutely need to make it possible to self-host. If you're content to only ever be available to low-information, low-effort individual consumers, fine, I guess that's a market, but you've locked yourself out of ever being able to sell to high-security organizations that can't use public cloud services.
Phoenix is really cool and ergonomic, albeit a bit strongly opinionated (which makes newcomers clueless IMO).
> Last github update 657 days ago.

Maybe it's done.
What was even the value proposition of using 1password over the native keychain access on mac? Generating passwords? Safari does this now (albeit always ignores the website's specific password rules and gets it wrong most of the time)
> I didn't say Rails makes a mess of a dev machine.

I literally quoted you saying that in my first post. But hey, what do I know?
Yup, I'm out of here as well. Been using them since 2014, been frustrated since they heavily push you toward using their cloud, and now this shit happens.
I think not. It's one thing to adapt/re-boot something and quite another to try and re-write history via shitty contracts to try and make yourself the sole creator (Disney, Marvel/Stan Lee).

Credit used to be given, now it is stolen.
If it looks identical to the web app and consumes half a gig of RAM, it's probably electron.
Interesting that the "7 GUIs" test hasn't been mentioned in the article or comments. IMO it's not a bad starting point for thinking about the bare minimum that a GUI framework might need to support, and for evaluating how easy one is to use.

Wondering about docking, especially handling multi-monitor setup, preserving layout, etc. Support for mixed DPI monitors.
What was in the email? I didn't see it posted and the short quotes she wrote didn't really have anything in them. I mean, inappropriate, possibly, but not on its own evidence of malice or predation.

People say dumb shit all the time, in person, over email, on the phone, etc. We know he said something he shouldn't have, but we don't know exactly what, his motives or whether it was just a "dumb shit" mistake, and I don't see enough evidence here in either direction. Maybe he's a predator, but without seeing the content of the email, I don't know whether sending it to a 17 year old is evidence of that.
Imagine a car wash not allowing me to wash my blue car because someone robbed a bank in one of the same color.

Then imagine the car wash told me I should talk to Chevy because it's their problem.
I don't gain anything, I dunno, just out here on these internets
I highly recommend Enpass -- solid UI, single purchase, local vault, and a very handy option to sync via Dropbox (and probably through other services as well).
I'm sorry to hear that. Our MVP requires macOS Big Sur 11.0 or above. Hopefully we can get Catalina to work very soon!
How well does transaction rate increase with more precise time? Seems like it would be a sort of O(log n) progression. Though could very well just be linear as well.
Alternatively, they could have spent this money on fixing the dev stack. Maybe this was more politically viable.
I think it's fair to say this feature is targeted at authors who would be promoting themselves on Medium and will now get a big referral cut when they bring in a new subscriber. You can't even get into the referral program unless you are an author. And also the referral pages are all personalized to be promoting the author as the headline of a bigger Medium bundle.

To me this looks like an interesting competitive move in the world of creators, i.e. Medium, ConvertKit, Substack, Revue.

Medium's offering is network effects, bundling, email portability, but not yet email list import.

So if you are starting a blog/newsletter from scratch you'd get network effects, meaning that you wouldn't be on the hook for finding every single subscriber yourself.

And then bundling means you, presumably, would have an easier time closing the sale on a new subscriber: "Get my writing plus these other great things in the Medium platform." I did some survey work on the Better Programming readers (my pub there) and they were happy Medium subscribers but definitely factored in other pubs like The Pragmatic Programmers and Towards Data Science.

It's not immediately obvious, but bundling really helps. For example, a bunch of top Substack authors left to start their own "Everything Bundle" because that was a much more effective way to grow.

Email list portability is a must have for parity with the other options.

Not being able to import a list is a major limiter for getting people to switch to Medium from other platforms. But if I were starting from scratch I would find Medium to be a pretty compelling option.

(Caveat: I am biased because I do a lot on Medium as an author and publisher--more than 5M views every month)
Fascinating... the content of the videos as well as the channel itself.

Why do the ants cover this stuff in 'dirt' while devouring it/carrying it away? To camouflage it so that nobody else will find it?
+1 for Bitwarden

I used to use Enpass and never had an issue but it's not open-source and you have to pay for Mobile client.
The stacked/accordian presentation of pages would be interesting with your browser tabs. Haven't come across anything like that, but it would be an interesting approach to cutting down on context switching.
I've been following this project for a while. Good work, but a haphazard ranting style of promotion. But hey it's a proofs language, it's gonna get weird.
Not tied to Apple.

I don't think Keychain (up to but not including iOS 15 beta) supports OTP.

On macOS, not much other than Safari seems to use it, I think?
I don't know what you mean by this. I've often worked in the park so I can be around my kids playing and get some more glimpses of them growing up than I otherwise would in an office. Plenty of commits have been made at a picnic table.
The parent isn't driving.

But, sure, let's go with that line - if you are salaried, and you have an hour each way commute, and your company okayed you working 6 hours a day (since your commute is 2), and they also paid you extra for mileage (to offset fuel and wear and tear), are you saying you'd object as strongly as the people objecting to those 2 hours ON TOP of 8 hours in the office, with no compensation for mileage?

Because that was my point; the general objection to commuting I've heard, and would raise myself, is that it is unpaid personal time. Not that it's just an unpleasant task that the company is compensating me fully for.
It is native, what are you talking about?
That’s why I recommend that young people should try to work for a company where the CEO comes from a tech background and understands your work. It’s just natural that someone has more respect for a role they have performed themselves.
That's just bad impostors.

Good impostors can fake impostor syndrome as well.
I will run the installed version of YNAB as long as it runs on my computer, and after that I'll probably run in in a virtual machine until the end of time. I am not comfortable with my financial information being on the cloud in the hands of a third party, much less so when it is not the likes of Google and Apple with armies of security engineers and can be hacked much more easily.

My guess is that it's flagged by users. You can send an email to the mods hn@ycombinator.com to ask for more details. Perhaps they decide to disable the flags in this case.
Proving it is possible does not mean it is true.

Going from the standard to an extreme outlier does not bode well for the masses.
I can tell hyperbole, memes, and sarcasm have no effect on you.
It’s hard to participate in a conversation like this without sticking your foot in it or dogpiling.

Something has always seemed a bit off to me about Aubrey’s need to grasp at youth. To hear accusations that he was grasping at other people’s youth as well is not that shocking.

I could use other adjectives but let’s stick with a safer one: vampiric.
And yet we can invert that question as well. Does nearly every post by Facebook lately have to be an attempt for them to convince us that pervasive surveillance and personal add targeting is actually in our best interests? Further, do these same posts also require them to cast themselves as some great champion of personal privacy? I think one could argue that the constant gas-lighting by FB is tiresome.
KeePass + Dropbox works, and you can sync to Android from Dropbox with KeePass2Android.
Nvidia Deepstream – How to Article
Sounds terrible. Doing fine with keepass + dropbox.
I actually upvoted.
Generally a massive bundle size, and/or inspecting the bundled frameworks themselves (right click on app -> show package -> browse folders for frameworks).
It's not that hard - all you need is for your app to support mutliple monitors (of different sizes, DPI, orientation). Then the whole based on "browser" platform idea collapses. Maybe you can tweak it, by spawning additional browser? Maybe... You need docking. Start with this as your requirement. Proper docking, not Qt built-in one.
In addition to the bait and switch comment, 1Password is an always-running app. Congrats, they just decided 1500MB of your ram is theirs now.
Cryptocurrecy Art
I am a big fan of 1password. I was very unhappy with the transition to subscription only, and tried bitwarden. After months of futzing around with it, I went back to 1password.

I did so after reviewing their audit results, awhat they documented about their architecture, and after they added great support for Linux. At the end of the day, not everything is a conspiracy - and their model appears to be incredibly secure.

I would like the self-hosting option (that like Bitwarden, will still require a subscription), but a big part of what I am doing is sharing credentials with family. 1Password does a great job there.

Honestly at the end of the day, everything else is about your value proposition. I didn't know or realize that 1Password had shifted to electron as asserted elsewhere. I guessed that there was a new version given that linux was supported but it made no difference for me. Great for them. Likewise, they are far more secure then me editing a password file. Eventually the market will decide here. If people really care about swift versus javascript, then it will penalize them eventually.

That said, people arguing that dashlane and others are better then 1password, given that dashlane has access to your passwords, I can't imagine that this is a choice that makes any sense given the basic requirement of a password manager (keep my passwords safe).

edited correction - dashlane, not lastpass.
It's still native as of version 7.

edit: apparently 8 will be electron-based. So... no standalone subscriptions AND they've moved from native to electron :/
I'm not sure this is so simple. Clearly your answer is correct with a largely uninsulated house with a basement only partially below ground (perhaps most of the developing world to be fair). Any semi-sealed home will have heat naturally accumulate (and dissipate) at the top. Apparently the movement of air upward - known as the stack effect - creates a (slight) vacuum pull at the bottom. Of course it's a small effect in normal temperatures but in extreme reverse stack-effect scenarios like you're describing the ground temperature below 3 - 5 feet should result in a basement being lower temperature than the backyard as available air gets sucked through the cooler ground to get into the basement? I'm sure this varies widely by region (ground temps vary in 3 - 5 ft depths) but everywhere this temperature will be cooler than the outside in such weather extremes.
I honestly have 0 problems with this.

They’ve gone over and beyond to support old licences far longer than it could be expected, and a password manager is the kind of sensitive and ubiquitous product for which SaS actually makes sense.

Anyone remotely involved in anything similar knows it’s a PITA to keep up to date while keeping device compatibility, and the folks at 1P have been doing great work.
Same Day Salon Merchant Cash Advance – Same Day Business Advance
I got started with 1Password SaaS based on a work account and added it for my family, so I am not losing anything with this change. I've generally been pleased with the service and its definitely been an upgrade from LastPass in terms of usability and security (no random autofills into hidden forms, no breaches etc...)- that said I'm sad to see this direction. I can't see how this could have been costly to maintain, nor that it would bring them incremental revenue given the backlash and ample competition. Maybe predictable cashflows are worth it, but in principle self-hosting should always be an option.
I think it is fair for people to say it is inherently shady when the original plan for these tokens was to be 1:1 dollar backed. Moving the goal posts in this situation IS shady, and why people are now calling for regulation.

People aren't railing against fractional reserves, they're railing against something that was advertised as having full reserve turning fractional with a few sentences on a website.
