That's true, but there seem to be two problems with explaining the data that way.

Firstly, the second shot graph shows the same thing: a clear wave that peaks 10 days after vaccination.

Secondly, if that were the cause you'd expect to see a very different almost square wave like graph, with a steady background rate of cases that the shot failed to stop followed by a clear drop as the cohort moves on more or less simultaneously. The data doesn't show that.

It seems in Alberta the window between first and second shots is 8 weeks or 56 days. I've been using two weeks as an example but that's too short.

https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/topics/Page17389.aspx

If we select the 56 day period (the graph is zoomable by dragging a region), then we see a large wave that starts near zero, peaks near day 10 and then by day 56 has dissipated. This cannot be the result of people moving into the other cohort because it's all over before anyone becomes eligible for the second shot.

W.R.T. reactions - it's interesting how much people's experiences here vary. Almost everyone me and my girlfriend know locally who took the vaccines have had some kind of bad side effect. I suspect there may be several causes of this divergence:

1. Differences in brands used. Moderna is 3x the strength of Pfizer. All data shows Moderna causes way worse side effects and especially after boosters. But, some places use Moderna a lot (like where we live) and others don't. Of the people I know who live in the UK, where AZ was standard, none have reported any side effects.

2. Differences in age groups? Side effects seem to be worse or at least more noticeable amongst the young.

3. Filter bubbles. Our friends know we didn't take the vaccines (so far), so we're "safe" to talk to about side effects and reactions. If you're the sort of person who has publicly proclaimed that you Fucking Love Science!™ - as many people have done - then it seems likely people won't want to mention any effects they did have with you.

It's especially easy for that to occur because all the bad reactions we have heard about are the sort of thing that isn't going to be immediately visible if you meet someone: a day off work due to "sickness", disrupted or stopped periods, and in one case sadly a heart attack. That sort of thing is invisible if the affected person doesn't confide.
This is almost correct but not quite. Optimal strategy wins against many other strategies and breaks even against others. The ones it breaks even against are not necessarily optimal themselves, they just don't make mistakes vs the optimal one but might be exploitable themselves.

To be more precise: you only need to replicate not mixed (pure) plays of the optimal strategy to not lose against it. Your frequencies for mixed actions can be completely off though.
> I would inevitably run into a sync issues

Could it be that you weren't using it correctly? KeePass database files aren't supposed to remain open (for security of course) and it has quite a number of options to automatically close it after certain amount of time or when the window isn't focus, computer is locked, etc. This would trigger a sync with the (NC) server and assuming that all your clients follow the same usage pattern and close the DB after a small window of time, there shouldn't be any conflict.

> NextCloud to be always up of course, also self-hosted

You could use NextCloud's own hosting. But then Bitwarden's server needs to always be up too, and optionally self-hosted.

> Bitwarden just works

A low bar to recommend a password manager, don't you think so?
The story of the turmoil at Evergreen college [1] a few years ago has enough similarity. Kids there cornered, berated, and essentially held hostage professors- it's pretty unbelievable.

Same. I have some "core" accounts that I make sure to keep very well protected, like Paypal, Gmail, Amazon etc. But the 2nd tier accounts from hundreds of random shopping websites etc I just don't expect to be kept secret at this point, there are just so many of them, and the data itself isn't particularly juicy.

You identify with your real identity. Unless your genetic heritage has an actual, unmistakable impact on your life (e.g., being black, being clearly Native American, etc) it's no more relevant to who you are than your eye color. It might be nice to be a member of a distinct ethno-cultural group but nobody is entitled to it, and if your ethnic identity is so ambiguous that it's possible for you to be mistaken about it then it isn't all that relevant to your life. I can point to a genetic test and say "Here are my fractions from Irish, German, Native American" but pretending any of them represent a greater influence on my identity than "ambiguously-white American man" would make me a play-acting fool.
I don't really have a strong stance on the topic, but its worthwhile to consider maturity of technology, 3D virtual interfaces are in relative infancy. Developers are trying out things and figuring out how to do things in this completely new environment.

30-40 years ago UI were quite terrible.

Its natural that we are trying to implement analogous 2D interfaces in 3D as we were train to use those hyper optimised approaches.

What is clear to me is that the VR is new medium for new content. Trying to ram 2D mediums into it and expect it being better is not a way to go.
Yes - you can dump out your passwords from lastpass as a CSV and slurp them straight into Bitwarden.

I switched from Lastpass when they started demanding more money - and whilst not perfect, am very happy with Bitwarden. Functionality is all there, just a bit clunky in places - but you get used to it.
1Password's servers also cannot read your data. They use a client generated secret key in addition to your usual password to encrypt your vaults. It's been detailed pretty well

https://support.1password.com/secret-key-security/
Yes, a script grabbing the paths specified in backup configuration file and calculating the checksums of created archives. No additional encryption at this point as the external drives are LUKS encrypted. The setup works seamlessly only with Linux machines though.
There's something very wrong with the first world when people discover drinking water. I'm not singling you out, I've heard the same story from other people, usually from the US, and it's mind boggling to me. I know it's the parents fault.

Because it's spelt "do" in Russian. It's only due to stress and the fact it's a preposition that the way it is said becomes "da".

As the preposition is so small, it's considered together with the following word, which in the genitive has its stress on the "а".
That's not what the numbers say. The richer any society gets, the less children it has. This is true across all cultures and countries.

I don't know about you, but this part of the interview is for me just another annoying obstacle on the way to get the job.

The "Have you ever thought about how GPS works?" question gets a scripted "No, but <blah blah blah>" answer. It's fully automatic, because there are now two possibilities:

- I have thought about GPS before. I will now fake my creative process. No hard feelings, but you are just another obstacle for me to get the job, that's it.

- I have never thought about GPS before. We will now try to design "together" a super-complicated system having so many boundaries and hidden constraints, while I will be also panicking on the inside the whole time. No wait, that would be dumb. I know, I will just refuse to discuss it further. Next question.

(Also, TIL that "flack" in addition to its primary meaning is apparently an acceptable spelling of "flak" too.)
I still need to hear a real world case where data breaches are harmful other than annoying spam SMS.

EDIT: re the downvotes - I guess it's ok to ask crypto people all the time about real world cases but then not to accept any questions about real world cases elsewhere...
I switched to 1Password for LastPass mainly due to trust (due to LogMeIn), bad mobile app (always asking me to give it permissions it needs then forgetting, and more), no TOTP support, problems with extension and more that I thankfully cannot remember. Switching was a great decision.
$4 is $4 more than $0
I've used Bitwarden for over 4 years now after first hearing about it on HN. I really can't complain. I have Bitwarden on my phone, on my browser (chrome + firefox) and it works flawlessly for me. I even have the Mac app but I almost never have to use it.

I'd highly recommend it in case anyone here's looking to switch to Bitwarden.

I've used LastPass previously, but that was so long ago that it'd hardly be a fair comparison to Bitwarden now - but I remember not being satisfied with LastPass enough to export my data and switch.
Yeah. I was having trouble justifying the cost of college and was trying to go for ROTC but couldn't because of medical issues. My dad essentially used the air force as a means to extract himself from generational poverty. We're white, so money was really the only motivation though I think he overall enjoyed his time there (non-combat role).
I absolutely loved Jak and Daxter and still run through it every few years. I think it was the peak of the 3D platforming era. Jak 2 with its fantasy take on GTA was excellent, too.

I'll never understand why, compared to the other Naughty Dog franchises, it was basically dropped and forgotten. Or why Ratchet and Clank was favoured (comparitively bland and boring imo).
No particular reason, just a mistake in the links. Thanks!
Yes, although as s_gourichon said, if there's any object pool reuse of these buffers then the potential for bleeds comes back.

So, for example, you could still have a bleed in Node.js, even if you're safely allocating them as zeroed, but you're then reusing them, say when you're writing something to a file and then shipping it off elsewhere.
AFAIK they searched for a German word for reverse engineering and came up with zerforschung.

In my case I'd like to transfer from/to my NAS where I centralize a number of data pieces.

I work inside a workstation but occasionally on a laptop as well.

Having 10GbE will help me when I'm on my workstation. It's not fatal, definitely, but it adds up to lost productivity.
There’s a critical feature missing from Bitwarden that is keeping my on 1Password:

- history

It’s saved me enough times that I can’t move to a manager that doesn’t record history.
Seems like an interesting project. It's probably impossible to fight against git nowday though. The first mover advantage of git is just too hard to overcome despite all the flaws of git.
Offtopic/Ask HN:

I tried to use Vaultwarden implementation with one caveat: I don't need to use any plug-ins - my everyday passwords are at my fingertips anyway, for anything else I'm fine with logging in and copy-pasting the login and password.

And here comes the thing which makes VW (and a couple of other password managers I tried in the last couple of years) usage abysmal: the web-interface just sucks.

First of all - the process of adding a new login-password info requires too many clicks to set something more than just a login, password, (web-site) address. You want to add some tag? Click 'add', click 'type', click to the value field, type in. Want more than one tag? Repeat for each one. Okay, that would be tolerable if this was just once in a while task, but here comes the next one:

Second and more important - awful search. VW just doesn't have the search functionality. It just loads ALL your accounts and filters them in the UI.. and sometimes even fails to do that. Like I see '$something' in the account description, type it in the 'search' field.. and have an empty result.

For me personally the lack of useful search (including server-side search) makes the thing unusable.

Are my requirements (sane web-gui, working search, usable without browser/apps addons) unreasonable?

Why are people going to compare to a nuke? Because the media uses those terms. Maybe we need to suggest alternatives.

Also since 1945, had there been just a single size of nukes? I may not have a sense of how big a Hiroshima nuke was as compared to a 1975 nuke vs a 2022 nuke. Just saying ... a better comparison (which I don't know as I am not a subject expert) could be developed.

Maybe "enough energy to melt 1980 Antarctica" or some other similar scary comparison. Maybe "10 times the energy of hurricane Katrina"

I also can only speak to the tribes near me, but casinos only help if the reservation is near people. The poorest US counties are mostly either places with a prison or a reservation, the lowest median household income is Buffalo County in South Dakota with a casino of it's own.
Super interesting. I feel like just a very short time later, this would have been very different. I was on a flight from Germany to Japan via Shanghai on 7 January 2020 and in my memory, that "new virus from China" was already a concern (although only because I was passing through China), and about 2-3 weeks later, masks were sold out EVERYWHERE in Japan (or Tokyo at least).

It feels crazy now that, despite all that, I went to the Ghibli Museum with my friends at the end of February 2020 and it was packed with people (and barely anyone wearing a mask). Just a week later, my return flight to Germany was canceled and I became concerned that I might get stuck in Japan. By the way, I was able to get on a flight on 20 March 2020 (Narita to Frankfurt) and it was almost completely empty. Things happened so fast.
The new oculus quest 2 solved a lot of those issues for me. The only thing that remained was the fogging up part, but I have acquired a fan for that.
1) No cable anymore, streaming it or playing on it directly works fine.
2) Weight is not so heavy anymore.
3) Battery time is also good, just as with the HTC Vive and Wireless kit, minus the bulk of the battery.

The problem for me is the games on it. A few are really cool, but even then I get bored. And to buy another game, sure, but then you get to spend 20 dollars again, way to pricey for just a few hours of gaming.

SuperHot and Half Life Alyx are the games that I like the most.
Phone numbers are annoying when they leak mainly because there's a risk you end up being targeted by scammers. Nano ledger leaked my contact details a few years ago and I now get regular calls from people with North African accents trying to talk me into investing into whatever crypto scams they are trying to sell. Apparently Nano Ledger owners are exactly the type of gullible fools these geniuses like to target.

At least for email, I have a spam filter that catches most of the crap.

Neither my email nor phone number are very secret of course. I actually give out business cards, have some address information on my website (because you have to in Germany). Same for my phone number and email address.
I use BW at home and 1PW at work - both via browser extension. I cringe and/or swear at 1PW far more often than BW.

The browser could be told not to render anything is the signature

exposed to a man in the middle attack several times over.

Would it be possible to add the "this" as a backend to git?
My remarks are from the self hosting perspective. To ensure an up-to-date KeePassXC db across all my devices I needed Nextcloud to always be reachable. KeePassXC was not smart about sync, so add one pw on a device before syncing, add one on another and you have two divergent databases that you have to manual reconcile. Bitwarden does not have this issue, and it also keeps itself synced, even if I only set up the add-on in the browser (with KeePassXC you always need the full program installed). With KeePass(XC) it's just an extra layer you need to be aware of, decoupling sync from the db.

For me BW has always just worked, meanwhile I have several KeePassXC dbs with a date in their name because of conflicts. Which arguably is because of NextCloud issues, which are my own "fault" (issues include, on work PC file sync services are not allowed, on Server somehow NC disconnects after every container update, since it is "headless" I often notice this very late, the shitty state of NC client packaging on Ubuntu will let you install very old clients that may stop syncing, you need to be aware of this... etc). Perhaps KeePass(XC) just works if you outsource syncing, but then still, it is easier to have sync conflicts than with BW.

And then there is the ability to share PWs with relatives with a BW account on the same server, KeePass does not have this concept as far as I am aware.

A prodigy at 6 years old back in the day.
I'm confused here - are you saying that ethnic categories are social constructs?
One question - what does locking a file mean in a distributed VCS like Pijul?
"white" as a claim of culture or heritage, only exists in the context of white supremacy. The concept of "whiteness" was invented during the days of the slave trade as a means of establishing racial classification and hierarchy - to contrast the superior "white" race with inferior "non-white" races, which is why it traditionally excluded people like the Irish and Italians, along with the obvious African peoples traded as slaves, who unlike the former groups can never "ascend" to "whiteness" no matter how much political or cultural capital they accumulate.

In the modern day, it has lost much of its explicitly racist connotations (except, obviously, when explicitly used in the original context by racists,) but just tends to mean "a person who looks white (until proven otherwise)" or "of European descent," the former of which isn't really related to culture, and the latter being so vague as to be useless as a cultural referent.
I use Biwarden extensively, in self-hosted mode (vaultwarden), for a few years now.

It is truly excellent, especially the fact that you can "move" an entry to an organization, where everyone has the same ownership and rights (and not merely "share" it). Plus a ton of wonderful things.

There are two minor points I am missing:

- the ability to control someone's passwords. Typical usage: the 24/7/365 support for my parents, where I would like to be able to access their passwords (they also would like that, obviously). There would be a simple solution: the ability to force someone to file entries only in an organization. But it is not possible (and new entries will go to the personal vault by default).

- the ability to discard the Android pop-up, sometimes it completely blocks the ability to manually fill in something. An "escape" kind of gesture.
This wont work. Moving high margin parts to TSMC will wither Intel fab resources to keep up in the mid range. Soon enough you start to struggle like GlobalFoundries.
It's for his own benefit. Funding public goods benefits everyone, including himself.
The expectation to do more work at home/off-the-clock would worry me more than squeezing more work into fewer hours. Americans have a hard time separating from work and companies exploit that to no end.
More devices used at once? If I am downloading 1 Gb/s from the internet, and meanwhile one of my housemates want to look at a movie from our NAS, the other one wants to backup 100 GB of photos to the same NAS - then 1 Gb/s home network is not enough.
That was obviously the first idea, but it isn't really possible. Git is meant to prevent commutation of patches, while Pijul is design to maximise it.

Two-way conversion is still a goal, though.
> There's even a third party implementation of the server in rust that seems to be mostly compatible.

Not just mostly. Vaultwarden also offers server-side features usually only found in paid Bitwarden plans.
Wait, you mean password history? As in being able to see the old password once you generate a new one or otherwise update it? Because Bitwarden definitely has that.
I swapped from Lastpass when they introduced the "single-device" restrictions for free users. Bitwarden has worked flawlessly since.
It was probably impossible to fight against CVS, and definitely against SVN.

Those systems had undeniable pain points, and so does Git.
