Amazing that all this conflab about free will and you seem to be the first to bring up consciousness. "Free Will" is a construct of consciousness don't you think?

With varying degrees of conscious capability comes increasing amounts of free will. But absolute free will? For example, I choose to end my life, because I choose too is going to be a very hard push. It is only going to happen if I really want it, and will only want it if I am in a situation that calls for such drastic action. Those situations, we can see, are generally on the peripherals (although way too common these days).

So our free will is a function of the Human Condition, which is relative to our levels of consciousness.
Yeah, I've never seen a company so keen to alienate it's core audience.

Well, at least not for a few years.
We are already pretty ok at gifting back (our hoodies/gifts have a pretty good rep).

I kinda default to “don’t mess with it” but sometimes wish we could do more to say thanks.
Then pay for it to become something else, instead of trying to use the government to steal it for you.

Is the "opposition" mainly that the process as stated isn't reversible? Is there a way to improve the original idea to make it reversible in a short order?

Table Oriented Programming in a Nutshell
Like so many things in the world, it's a legacy system that "works", therefore it's extremely difficult to dislodge.

It's pretty clear that ATC at all levels would work far better if fully automated, with staff around to manage emergencies and older aircraft. It's one of those tasks which is very stressful for humans but basically trivial for a computer given the correct parameters (including weather, etc).
MusicBee was one thing I looked over in my switch to Linux a couple months ago. In my head, I could simply find any other music player for Linux and be on with my life. But I found that MusicBee had so much ancillary functions that had made their way into my music management flows over the years that were lacking in other players. I still haven't bothered to find another player, but I have been working on creating new flows using beets, which is probably a better approach as it separates the concerns of managing and playing my music.
As is regulatory scrutiny.
That's just moving the goalposts. Businesses aren't buying loads of gaming desktops with K sku cpus though. They are getting i5s or Ryzen 5s that do have low idle power usage. We were talking about performance chips.

Sure, let's give Kaczynski and Orban the keys to censoring LGBT content or regime critical media across the entire EU.

Sarcasm aside: any kind of censorship infrastructure will get abused sooner or later. No matter if it's criminals, trolls, religious fundamentalists (particularly where it concerns LGBT matters, sex work or gambling) or plain old wannabe dictators.

Hey pal, I have no idea why everyone is lining up to tell you that you’re wrong. I loved reading your story and it gave me a lot of warm, fuzzy feelings from when my child was little.

Our little people are all different and we all love our little people so we adapt to them the best we can. (My child is almost six, so at this point, ‘she adapts me’.) :)

You seem like a wonderful parent and I really dig your attention to detail. :)

Thanks for sharing Baby Buddy. My child was almost two when it was released. But holy crow, that would have been helpful!! :)

The times they are a-changin’
I agree that you can't really make this feature bulletproof against workarounds, but does it need to be? How many times will a user block somebody who is stalking them or just being a nuance, and this person happens to not use such an extension and not check with private tabs? Even a 1% success rate is still something good overall, you stopped 1% of the bad behavior.

Would you likewise not use an adblocker unless it was 100% effective?

> ...explore beyond the boundaries of traditional password management.

This is a 50-50 proposition, at best.

I hope this doesn't mean I'll need to start looking or a new password manager.
You know, I always found it stupid that people thought I would ever use my phone to type messages or worse to write blog posts.

I would not rule out radical change of use patterns.

People will not put on a headset to shop, they will shop as they play, as they watch videos, etc.
Damn, that's pretty cheap.
Great news for a great team. 1Password makes a very solid product and the company genuinely helps improve the security ecosystem for their users (and, through working with browser vendors on things like extension security, all of us).

Hopefully they don’t go all cryptocoin and NFT with the funding… but given their dna, I think they will expand wisely.
There are no widely accepted ideas on the left that go anywhere near as "too far" as there are on the right. There simply is no comparison there.

There certainly could be such ideas. But right now, as things stand? No, there aren't anything like the absolute madness the right is displaying. Nowhere near.
Craig Wright is a patent troll, a narcissist, and a sociopath. It's amazing how far he has been able to take this grift. Part of it is that he has been able to adopt this unwavering character and not break it for years.... something a normal person just isn't wired to do.
> DDR4 CAS latency is 15 clocks, which is about 9ns for highest clock frequency. Add to that cache latencies and memory controller latencies and you easily can get about 25-50 ns of latency and more.

On my 3rd gen Xeon E5 NUMA machine (two nodes) accessing adjacent memory bank is roughly around 90ns under no load. Accessing non-adjacent memory was around 120ns.

> 300ns is a latency of PCIe, not DRAM.

I'd figure that this number improved across different PCIe generations or? Have you got any tool to recommend that can measure this kind of thing? I found https://github.com/andre-richter/pcie-lat but haven't tried it yet.

Breathe a little. Concentrate on parenting your child, not on obsessing with what everyone else thinks. If dealing with all the tech and giving away your child's data does _not_ stress you out, then wonderful! Go find somewhere enthusiastic about that to post. However, every message that is critical of the current techno-take-my-child's-data-please culture isn't aimed at your ego as a targeted personal offense. People who critique a potentially negative cultural trend are not personally calling you a bad parent or evil person.
He just keeps giving and giving.
First question is where does password manager spend that amount of money. Second question who gives that amount of money to less than 10% of password management company... Sure it can have billions of users, but still it is in no way novel or complicated product. In sense it takes anywhere near that sort of money to build or manage...
> everyone with different opinions, like Hungary and Poland

The human rights of LGBT people and refugees or the right to freedom of the press or to a fair trial in front of an independent court are valid EU wide, guaranteed by the contracts that Hungary and Poland signed when they joined the EU.

Opposing these human rights is not an "opinion", it's an assault on the core values that make up the European Union - and the rest of the EU (particularly Germany, given that the former Chancellor's party was a sister party of the Fidesz for a long time!) has stayed silent for far too long.

I think lotsofpulp is on to something, but the other major possible answer that comes to mind is moving more into the enterprise space. If that happens, it'll no longer be for "us" because if they succeed, they'll inevitably make much more money in that space and be all but forced to pivot harder into it. That'd be much less of a betrayal than selling more data, but it would still mean that slowly but surely it would simply focus less and less on single user concerns.

IMHO it isn't intrinsically impossible to serve both enterprise and single customers, but the business people will always be internally grumbling about the slight additional expense that doesn't have a good ROI vs improving their enterprise product, and the marketing team will want every other screen to be an ad to upgrade to enterprise which discriminating users will rapidly get tired of. It'd take strong and even a bit quirky executive leadership to overcome those issues. Not impossibly strong, but strong.

Edit: Also, they don't have the option of slathering their app with generalized ads. Running ads in the context of a password manager would be insane and lose all their thought-leader users in a heartbeat, permanently. So that door is not open to them.
I've been using it with almost every synth app on my iPad with success .. once you get it connected, its basically a MIDI controller.

Most fun with Animoog Z, Beatmaker, Loopy Pro and Endless ..
If you want to constantly increase output it's obviously impossible.

That is just bad gamification.

I think gamification has to be progress toward completion, and the difficulty of completion has to be set deliberately so it isn't either easy or daunting. So every 1000 tickets you get a day PTO. More like that.

Tickets aren't good metrics, it means prioritizing easy tickets and incentivizing creating more tickets than necessary.

There are no good metrics for software work really.
One of my biggest hobbies is sim racing, and I can tell you that putting on the VR headset is akin to putting on a helmet and setting off on the track. The sweatiness and discomfort is nothing more than a real driver would experience, and turning a wheel feels real without hand tracking.

What you're experiencing with disorientation does tend to go away for most people if they're careful about it. And for me, I literally can't remember the last time I've felt disoriented in VR. Even considering that I've had shunts that have caused me to roll 20 times or more.

I agree, there is waste involved (as with anything), but as a comparison to racing it's much more friendly for the world than burning fuel. I'm in full agreement that Facebook on our faces sounds terrible, and concerns me, but VR can be a very good thing.

Thanks for the link. I had previously seen wordle mentioned on hn and sought it out on apple’s app store. I ended up with a much different game - one that I didn’t enjoy at all. Now I see the real wordle is much more interesting.

This was really a warning. The fact they tried to sell this foretold exactly what was on their mind and where they were headed.
I do tons of interviews, particularly at the junior level, so feel free to message if you want more specific tips about the process. I'll share some thoughts here:

* As some have said getting an internship is the easiest way to get an entry level job.

* If you are having trouble getting interviews, try to get referrals. Rely on your network, or don't hesitate to cold message people asking for help. Most people will be happy to help after a cursory check.

* Most people hate leetcode style interviews, but with no experience you can make it work in your advantage. Learn to "play the game" to stack the odds in your favour.
Doesn't always lead to that but...now that the company has these investors who demand returns the company no longer has alignment with the customer. The needs of the customer and the needs of the investors are in direct opposition.
1Password is a SaaS utility that provides a tool for generating and storing login info and other sensitive information.

To me; that’s immensely valuable, but it’s solved for most by a combination of just using the same passwords or, on iPhones, iCloud Keychain.

Now some folks have dumped the better half of a billion into a tool I pay about $35/year for and is basically feature complete. They’ll want a return on their investment. How do you expect 1Password will give it to them?
1. Expanding into new markets. "Secrets management" is not easy - 1Password is currently handling it for humans but they intend to handle it for services as well, likely competing with Vault.

They could launch a full identity provider like Okta.

2. Perhaps managing other authentication methods. Passwords are dying, especially with webauthn, so it makes sense to tak eon some money to explore how to be a player in that space.

They could compete with Duo, for example, and start offering a 2FA service.

Basically, I expect that the vast majority of this money will not be going towards the 1Password that you use today but instead towards breaking into new markets. Given the size, probably new markets that are somewhat established already.
Microsoft should buy them.
Use a tiny portion of that to continue support for local, non-cloud-based vault files please.
That's not how wallets work. A wallet is the private key (some secret bytes) and as long as you have those bytes (or something that re-creates those bytes, such as a passphrase) you have the ability to sign a message that is published on the blockchain which moves/spends your coins.
This approach didn't work for me. I bought it and kept getting ads to watch their originals and other features that I had no interest in.

I paid to make all of the crap get out of my way. It didn't work, then they killed some important-to-me features so I unsubscribed and started using an ad blocker.
The US border forces has the same ability to demand access to phones as they do in Australia though?
Good for them, but not sure why they need so much money for a 100% paid product.
Has anyone migrated easily between password managers? Manually entering my (hundreds?) of unique logins/passcodes would be quite a chore.
My advice: Know yourself and don't believe the hype.

There are lots of jobs out there, and lots of people will tell you that you need to join a FAANG as a junior on $150k to be successful. That isn't true unless working for a FAANG on $150k is your definition of success. Figure out your criteria (where do you want to live, what hours do you want to work, how much is your ideal baseline salary and how much will you sacrifice for equity lottery tokens or bonuses, what kind of work do you want to do, etc) and don't compromise on them too much.

You're about to go into an in-demand industry with a skill that people want. You are in control. You don't need to settle for the first role that's offered if you don't like it, but you're probably not some sort of genius 100x dev who can demand whatever they want either. Stay grounded, but be ambitious. You're starting out on a pretty exciting journey. Good luck.
I’m sorry. I have very high VR tolerance and I experience no sickness at all even in the most intense games and VR has been an almost magical experience over the last few years so I’m sorry you’re not able to get that same enjoyment.

Calling it a fad though seems incorrect. We’ve already passed the point of Quest 2 headsets being in over 10million homes and that’s up from 5 million a few months earlier. At this rate it’s following the same trajectory as consoles and because of the headsets general availability a whole generation of kids are getting a Quest 2 instead of an Xbox or pS5.

Burning Man is like working at Google: I really really wish I could have been involved in 2007-8ish, but today there is no amount of money you could pay me to do it in 2022.
This kind of announcement tends to ring all kinds of alarm bells for me. What kinds of changes should we expect to make those huge investments worthwhile for the investors?

My 1Password installation is grandfathered from a time when it was just a standalone app, without subscription. Will it just stop working one day to bully me into subscribing? Can you even start using 1Password these days without buying a subscription? I'll have to start looking for alternatives today.
Hex screws strip extremely easily and if you use a bit too much force the hex bit easily gets stuck in the screw and you have to wiggle it free, further damaging the screw.

Torx bits are much better, and they are very common, at least in Europe.

Pentalobe on the other hand, is just Apple being Apple. They don't want you opening their devices (with some exceptions, like the remarkable RAM upgrade mechanism in the old 27" iMac, or the various fancy ways of opening Mac Pros.
I don't believe that'd help.

Editing in Kakoune encourages and enforces a different editing style (one based on visual selection).

You'd have to still learn Vim.

Personally, I played https://vim-adventures.com/ to get a basic grip on Vim, later I kept a cheat sheet handy, and yet later I just looked up commands and features as necessary.

I recommend disabling the arrow keys in your vim config and to just use it.

Philippe Gaulier and the Art of Clowning
We must have very different thoughts about the timescale on which settlement of other planets is likely to happen. To have a complete civilization that is not dependent on earth, means many tens of millions of people living elsewhere - you just can't have a self-sustaining space-faring civilization without a base that large. I'd guess this is at least several thousands of years out, and thus nearly completely irrelevant because our civilization won't last that long on its present course; we really have to solve the energy and carbon crisis because we can't run from it.

VR may actually be part of that solution, though in a very dystopic fashion - reducing energy consumption of individuals could maybe be more tolerable if everyone is jacked in.

Yeah, just last month I was shocked to see a shop where I forgot my 2017 password, to send it to me. in plain text. by e-mail. (at least IIRC they used HTTPS on their website !)
That's funny, I only know 1password as that enterprise password manager that no nerds use, only normal people that work for not completely tech-unsavvy companies.

I don't know anyone that uses 1password privately.
I use keepass. I've solved the cross device problem by using syncthing. It is amazingly convenient and hasn't given me any problems across 3 computers and 3 phones. The only thing is, if you sit with your pw db open for extended period of time, you may need to sync it from storage in order to pick up changes that a different device has made recently.
Thank you for being a mensch.
> Natural selection is what stops DNA from becoming non-functional [...] Over the extremely long run regions of the genome that have no biological function should disappear, no?

If you have a sequence that's neutrally mutating with no corrective pressure it won't eventually disappear. At most it'll mutate into something unrecognizable [^1]

For example, your genome is littered with pseudogenes. These are mutated, ineffective shadows of what used to be a functioning gene. Nonetheless they're still close enough to what they used to be that you could reason about them in an evolutionary sense, eg: this one is also a pseudogene in other primates (i.e. it stopped mattering a long time ago), or this other one has a functioning homolog in non-primate vertebrates (i.e. it kept functioning in that lineage).

[^1] as a first order approximation. There are of course other structural events that can create much more change per event than your run of the mill single-point mutations that occur during every DNA replication.

They've also (supposedly) been profitable since inception. It's likely that this round has a significant secondary, which means they're just cashing out part of a profitable business.
As pointed out elsewhere in the comments on this thread, the census may have accidentally ended up enforcing white hegemony in America. See the anecdotes of people suppressing the reporting of partial indigenous or African heritage in order to pass as white. The data made America look far more white than it ever was. And despite the recent trend I doubt the effect has vanished. Are we so sure we want to be using that data for policy?
The Zynthian crew already set it up, so once you enable it, its a lot easier than you think.

But if you don't want the hassle, look at the Effects that it already has onboard - maybe Valhalla VST's aren't that necessary, anyway:

Agreed. If they don’t have anything personal but my email address, I use a password that’s been compromised and reused for 10 years but easy to remember. Weigh the risk and exposure against.
"1Password Has Raised $620M"

Ah fuck. They now need to grow at any cost to earn all that money back. And they'll throw their users under the bus, if they have to, because it's either grow like a unicorn or go bust.

Also, I sincerely have no clue how a password manager could be so expensive. Last time I checked, the excellent KeePassXC was still free open source and developed by volunteers in their free time. How come 1Password needs the equivalent of 7750 years of $80k annual salary to build the same?
OP here. We actually count them as the same letter for “yellow” boxes, only the keyboard separates them into different keys (this is explained in the help screen).
Everyone not part of the set who have just invested $620,000,000 between them.

Which probably means the vast majority of their users have essentially been regraded to “product”.
Sorry, that's the McLemore article. From the way you were talking I thought it was an article by E.O. Wilson himself.
Your response here seems more confrontational than the comment you were responding to. Both of those were parents discussing their perspectives and their approaches to raising children.

I read disagreement in those words, but no real sense of acrimony, until your post attempted to cast one comment as somehow being unfairly judgemental of another.

What you're calling out is nothing more than a reasonable conversation and disagreement on the efficacy of using apps to help with parenting. One parent thinks they can be useful, and another thinks they are unnecessary and that many parents receive empty utility from it.

It's OK for people to have a conversation about that and disagree. As a parent myself, having conversations with other parents (and non-parents) about child-rearing approaches, and running into disagreements, and talking those over.. is all pretty normal.
True, but in English I think this is more of a suffix thing, for example you can have words like "soft"->"softly", "poll->polls". I think this effect is much more subtle when this happens with a suffix rather than a prefix.
