Bitwarden does charge for certain features like TOTP support, organizations, and enterprise features. They manage to have subscription income while remaining open source, whereas 1Password chooses to keep its code closed source.

If you are saying that Bitwarden is worse because it offers a free plan, I disagree. It's nice that Bitwarden offers a security-audited* password manager to those who can't afford a subscription, who aren't ready to pay for one, or who don't have the means to make payments online. Unlike 1Password, Bitwarden is not pressured to deliver high returns to venture capital firms, and Bitwarden can focus on providing its product to its users at superior price points.

Until the existing system is reformed with something like the GDPR, nobody should support increasing the technical strength of identification.

Currently, the only way you can prevent surveillance companies from unaccountably creating permanent records on you is to avoid feeding them your personal information in the first place. There is absolutely no recourse or even legal concept that prevents "ID.me" from using the data you're basically forced to give them here, for any purpose they later desire. Until there are real data protection laws that allow for the creation of trust through accountability, auditing, and right of deletion, then opposing anything that benefits the surveillance industry is the only way we can protect ourselves.
seems almost impossible even now.. awesome and inspiring work. Kudos to all of you
What makes you believe this? If rentals were illegal, then there would be an entire cottage industry spring up around creative ways to lend people money who can't necessarily afford it. Which seems like a way to drive up purchase prices.

Plus, in the most unaffordable places in the world, rental prices are dirt cheap compared to purchase prices. In a lot of these places, rental income is so inconsequential, that places sit empty because owners don't want to deal with renters, since most of their return comes from appreciation. Which suggests that rental prices are completely detached from purchase prices.
I remember when they were Premium-only. It was so confusing. I subscribed for YouTube but I am being pushed to watch this content which I can't share, can't comment on. I can't even get email notifications because they aren't regular videos.

I am paying for Premium because I like YouTube but don't want ads! Stop trying to do something different. If I wanted that I would be paying for Netflix.
This is great. However why didn't this happen 8 months ago?

If anyone is interested in a book length treatment covering the controversy surrounding Wilson's Sociobiology, I can highly recommend a book that came out in 2000: "Defenders of the Truth: The Battle for Science in the Sociobiology Debate and Beyond", by Ullica Segerstrale. It's out-of-print, and never was very popular, but it's one of my favorite things to have ever read. Here's an overview:

When Edward O. Wilson published Sociobiology, it generated a firestorm of criticism, mostly focused on the book's final chapter, in which Wilson applied lessons learned from animal behavior to human society. In Defenders of the Truth, Ullica Segerstrale takes a hard look at the sociobiology controversy, sorting through a hornet's nest of claims and counterclaims, moral concerns, metaphysical beliefs, political convictions, strawmen, red herrings, and much juicy gossip. The result is a fascinating look at the world of modern science.

Segerstrale has interviewed all the major participants, including such eminent scientists as Stephen Jay Gould, Richard C. Lewontin, Richard Dawkins, John Maynard Smith, Nobel Laureates Peter Medawar and Salvador Luria, and of course Edward Wilson. She reveals that most of the criticism of Wilson was unfair, but argues that it was not politically motivated. Instead, she sees the conflict over sociobiology as a drawn-out battle about the nature of "good science" and the social responsibility of the scientist. Behind the often nasty attacks were the very different approaches to science taken by naturalists (such as Wilson) and experimentalists (such as Lewontin), between the "planters" and the "weeders." The protagonists were all defenders of the truth, Segerstrale concludes, it was just that everyone's truth was different.

It's available in some university libraries, used from Amazon for about $60, or as a PDF from here: https://b-ok.cc/book/2325442/6946b3.
I think that depends on how much storage this person is using.
Google includes Photos against the billed quota, so if you have more than 15GB of photos then Google will surely do something, either restrict access or eventually delete the data.
No. Early google had several machine learning systems including Phil, RePhil, SERI, SmartAss (which made google many billions before 2010), and Sibyl all of which predate 2010.

Rephil: https://www.quora.com/How-does-Googles-topic-model-Rephil-wo... and 26.5.4 Case study: Google’s Rephil 928 from Kevin Murphy's ML book.

Rephil was critical for google when they needed to cluster topics and it was used for a wide range of other things.

Smartass: http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.co...

Smartass is really weird if you come from the "batch training of deep networks" world, because it's online, and visits the dataset once, in temporal order. But. it's as ML as it gets; it was just turning joined clicks (between search queries and ad impressions) into weights for pCTR.

Sibyl was Google's secret sauce before tensorflow started in 2007, it implemented parallel boosting using mapreduce as a worker engine to do linear and logistic regression and was used to train the models for youtube watch next and play store (both of which produced enormous revenue at a time when people had no idea that youtube and android were gold mines) but predated those uses by at least 5 years. It was one of the oddest systems I've ever worked on and you can see some of the ideas it innovated in TFX today.

There's also SETI which IIRC even predated Sibyl, and you still can see vestiges of its functionality when doing archeological work on the google codebase.

I worked on systems related to smartass, worked on sibyl, and later tensorflow/TPU hardware/software. I met a number of long-time engineers and asked them deep questions about ML use at Google predating tensorflow and gained a deep understanding (and even then, I've left out many details about systems I'm not aware of). Before tensorflow there wasn't much use of GPUs or TPUs, for several reasons but once Vincent Vanhouke stuffed a few GPUs in his workstation and showed fast training to Jeff Dean, that changed quickly.
Ask HN: How Best to Manage a $5k Wordle Implementation Contest?
I've always felt that HTML/CSS/Javascript was a horrible programming system. But what is better? Comparing "hello world" examples never reveals the strengths of one language over another, and I've always wondered about finding a better way to compare languages. It occurred to me that implementing Wordle would be a much better programmming exercise and language comparator than "hello world". I'd be willing to put up $5k as a prize to the best Wordle program. The contest would be to implement Wordle, in the programmer's choice of a browser or as a standalone program for a phone or desktop machine. The "best" implementation would be judged as scoring the highest on a variety of metrics (correctness, completeness, clarity, etc). Hopefully some master programmers would generate great examples of better alternatives to HTML/CSS/Javascript.

Unfortunately, such a contest would probably attract a huge number of entrants, and it would take forever to compare submittals, assuming enough official judges could even be found. (Note that this is not a "puzzle" competition like typical coding contests with one correct "answer", but more like a subjective "beauty" contest.)

Posting submittals to a public site and letting upvotes decide the winner might work, but there would be the danger of fraud voting or the copying/modifying of previous submittals as new work.

One idea is having contest applicants post a public description of their past work and what language they plan to use, and letting upvotes decide which top ten programmers will compete (or maybe the top three programmers in each of the ten of the most popular languages so enough alternative languages end up compared), although fraud voting might still be an issue.

Is it even feasible to try and pull this off?
Samsung's hardware definitely kept Android relevant. I'd even argue that Samsung's software did too. Samsung has been adding new features to their flavor of Android since the beginning. Some good, some bad. Things like multi-window, do-not-disturb, UX improvements, etc. It really came from Samsung competing with LG, HTC, Moto, etc to keep their flavor ahead. Each year Google would integrate those features into stock Android as if it were a big deal. But to most users it wasn't because it already existed for them. Now it's stagnating on all sides and everyone's looking towards Apple on what to do next.
Not an Australian but I've observed Aussie politicians of all shades making the same stupid arguments on encryption for more than a decade, perhaps closer to two. I don't think this can be solved by voting Labor in lest they be given some lessons on elementary mathematics and data security.
I tried to setup my IRS online account but couldn't verify because I live abroad and don't have a U.S. phone number. Flagging that Id.me allows you to register with a foreign phone number (still need that data right?), you just can't complete the actual verification with that phone number. I tried to call the IRS and sat on hold for 90 minutes before giving up. I overpaid what I thought I owed (and couldn't confirm) and a month later they sent me a check for the difference. Fuck the IRS. Fuck ID-me.

> that work is done by maintenance workers — unless the landlord is personally out performing all the repairs, in which case they deserve to be compensated for their labor like anyone else. as mentioned below, the maintenance workers mysteriously aren't the ones entitled to a third of my paycheck...

I'm not really following what you're saying here. It doesn't really make any difference whether or not the landlord does the work themselves. Either there's risk, and work to manage that risk, in renting out, or not. If there's not, then why wouldn't everyone be a landlord?

> secondly, ask anyone who's ever rented — landlords are notoriously awful at keeping up with maintenance. so if we're considering it a job, then they get paid far more for doing far worse work than any other occupation i can think of. does that not make you angry?

Some landlords are awful, yes I agree. Some people are bad at their jobs, you must also acknowledge. You vastly, vastly overestimate how much money an average landlord actually makes.

> does that not make you angry?

Why would it? If being a landlord is so easy, why wouldn't everyone do it? I like the flexibility of being able to move and not having to necessarily put down hundreds of thousands of dollars up front for property
The case that a universal identifier, or even some authoritative list of people, has a benefit that exceeds its cost, has never been made. It’s simply “one of those things”
That's the first thing I check for any system that would, if adopted, become a life-long thing. Zettelkasten is supposed to be exactly that: an ever-growing collection of linked notes, growing more useful the longer you stick with it.

I never understood why anyone would accept linking this sort of system to any third party, no matter how sound their business model, no matter how much trust you may put into the individuals running the company.

I reran a few more times, got a bunch of variability, but did get some runs where f64 is just twice as slow, not 10×. Probably my initial run hit swapping. So I will update the article.

That being said, worth noting that this is also quite hardware dependent. Like, I just have 16MB L3 cache, I imagine higher L3 would change ratios a lot.

UPDATE: Oops. Original runs were with NumPy 1.18, this run was with NumPy 1.22. So will rerun again with that.

UPDATE2: NumPy version doesn't matter. So yeah was probably swapping.

UPDATE3: Fixed article should be up in a minute.
Thanks!

I have one simple rule. Never rely on Google for anything. Not email, not cloud storage, not infrastructure, *anything*. If you're going to use one of their products, cost-in the expense of moving everything out at a moments notice and keep constant backups of your data. My advice to anyone is to just avoid using Google for anything you expect to use long term.
I agree, as others have said in this post/thread, advertising seems to be at least some of the cause of the problem. But it doesn't seem any other economic model works, sadly.

I'm curious about your comment about NPR and BBC. Granted, it seems like they have moved more towards the stupidity that we're describing. But not as much as the traditional news networks, in my opinion.
I have no idea what your map is supposed to show. Yes, Egypt has one land border with Gaza, and is often closing it, helping to maintain the blockade. But on all other routes - sea, air and other land borders, it is Israel that maintains the blockade. Egypt is not stopping any sea vessels from reaching Gaza - it is the Israeli navy that is doing so, since it controls the entire coast of Gaza. Even if a ship were to move through Egyptian waters into the Gaza coast, it would be intercepted by Israeli ships patrolling the coast.
Yeah thinking the same. Microsoft 365 most likely the best switch for me. With 2 users and my custom domain, for cheaper might as well get 1TB cloud storage and Office as well.

iCloud+ may also be an option.

Haven’t done this with a Billy in particular, but in my experience flimsy backings give out before the nails do.
I agree. I really understand this. I even mentioned it in my comment. I have a rather ... out-of-band ... life story for this venue. I didn't dance to this age. I was dragged, kicking and screaming, and holding onto the door jams. Frankly, I'm amazed that I'm here, every day.

My past is not really something I want to go back to, thank you very much. I prefer looking forward.

I also don't want it to be rancor. If you look at my commenting history, here, you will find very, very little, and what you do find, will be fairly mild. I'm a reformed troll, and feel that I must atone for being an arsehole of the first water, for many years. I know that I come across as "stuffy," but believe me, when I tell you, that the alternative is not pleasant.

But it is also important to understand that every person is an individual. This is something that I have to struggle with, every single day. It's very easy for me to be intellectually lazy, and dismiss whole swaths of people, simply because they tick one box of many.

I have fast friends, that I would never have had, if I had insisted that they meet my litmus tests. I won't engage them on certain topics, but I know that we have a great deal of mutual respect.

I participate in a community, that is ... eclectic. Its members are quite varied, and we have learned to put aside our differences in pursuit of a common goal. I really wish that the world ran this way, but it's difficult work. Really humbling, but also extremely rewarding. A central tenet is to be of Service. I like to think that I've done OK, here.

The article was written by an old dude that has been dragged through hell, but has also managed to do well for himself and his wife.

Believe it or not, I hear stories like this almost daily. Very few ever make it into the mainstream, and I am a truly privileged person to hear them.

Not all that is old is bad. Not all that is new, is good. The world has been damaged for a long time, and no one of us can fix it all, so we do our part to police our area.

Name one thing the state government does for normal people who actually finance the largess. Are you really surprised billions go unaccounted in a place where train robberies are a thing? But don't you worry, a photo ID won't be required in the next election though.

How is Originals a "Google-based product"? It really irritates me how every tiny feature being removed is used to inflate the killedbygoogle-meme. Just like how there are lists claiming Google Maps is a "chat app". Can we stop with this nonsense? Soon killedbygoogle will start listing individual <span> elements that were removed from google websites.

Originals was a feature; features come and go all the time.
> Why are we certain that a family getting evicted from a 2 bedroom apartment can afford a studio?

Because we're talking about averages.

Two income couple loses one income, can now only afford a smaller place.

You can find someone who went from a two bedroom apartment to homeless because they lost all their income, but you can also find someone who went from a studio to a two bedroom because it came onto the market, and then the studio went to someone who had been homeless.

> And where are the people getting evicted from a studio going?

The same place the people moving into the studio came from.

> City/NIMBY bottlenecks are preventing this from happening

City/NIMBY bottlenecks stand in the way of building new housing, and should be removed.

But the point is that putting the existing units back on the market will tend to reduce rents, so that existing people who need new housing don't have to be in a bidding war over a smaller number of available units.

Consider which is more fair: Six low income people, enough housing for five and those five each pay $800 in rent; or four of them have to pay $1000 because the one who would have been homeless is living rent-free where the one who could afford $800 but not $1000 would have been, making that person homeless.

The only real solution is still to build housing for the sixth person.

In this case, the security is in the memory and/or time hardness of the KDF: a motivated attacker could use the salt with their dictionary, but would have to be willing to wait (on average) a decent, perhaps deterring, amount of time (or similar for memory).

Edit: The defaults for the argon2 crate are here[1]. They seem to prioritize time cost over memory cost. Some random searching online suggests that a time cost of 3 corresponds to roughly ~2 seconds on modern hardware, so running a 100k dictionary with a time cost of 3 would require ~27.7 hours for the amortized find (50k) or ~55.5 for the worst case find. So, this isn't a very good scheme for a motivated (or parallel) attacker and an exceptionally weak password.
A deadline like "Friday" can have that effect, but not something like "10:25".

Not sure how you are defining harmful here, but emotionally charged content designed to upset and anger leads to higher engagement numbers. I would argue that's quite harmful.

Yep. I would oppose any sort of National ID card whether it has biometric security or not. Passport is about the only thing that is a Federal level ID and accepted everywhere as an ID.

I would want states to have their own ID system where an average citizen can vote for policies that make a difference. I am also against cross-state data sharing (Driver's license) and such.
The use of a third party means you don’t have to follow the same privacy rules as if the government collected the data themselves.

It’s why the police forces collect data from phone companies rather than collecting it themselves (which they might even be forbidden from doing).

For extra credit: this is a large subsidy to a private company to increase the size of its database; in return it gets to sell the database contents to others as well.
Exactly, since Android and Youtube aren't "workspace core services" (the next sentence after the one you quoted explicitly mentions YT and Photos), your purchases are probably safe past the deadline.
