There had been coverage of the eruption between December 29th and January 4th, and landslides due to the island's instability were certainly reported as a possible danger. Among other sources, this was covered extensively by the GeologyHub channel on YouTube which pretty much predicted this collapse.

Anecdotal, but a lot of people seem to be able to get over their VR motion sickness. I personally did by just playing the janky Rocket Mode in Richie's Plank Experience a lot. Same goes for heights in VR, at first it's terrifying but if you repeatedly expose yourself to it it loses its effect. There's also a story of a VR dev who built a demo to get rid of his motion sickness, it involved just repeatedly dropping his POV from a height and then looping back to the top. Granted, some people will probably never get rid of their motion sickness for whatever reason but I think those will be in the small minority.

I left after they increased the premium price from $12 to $36 within a few years.

I read a few comments from people that this was a classic LogMeIn move where they buy a service, hike the price and squeeze out everything they can before slowly letting the service die off.

I'm happy to pay a reasonable price for services and bitwarden's $10 price (the old LastPass price) shows that's the reasonable price.
A friend introduced me to the HP-40G in high school, while everybody was using TI or Casio.

So I learned (some of) the physics of sound to be able to program music.
So it really pushed me to do more advanced maths and taught me programming, these are some fondly remembered days.

The symbolic computation GUI is also a marvel of design that is unsurpassed to this day, especially in how you can select semantic blocks with a keyboard, and how good the rendering is. It felt like a human-centric interface rather than a computer-centric one. Although the general UI of the calculator was more of a confusing mess, so it had its flaws.

Well, I got mine for cheap from another student who "bought this useless garbage" so it's not a universal point of view.
Sourceforge was pretty big at the time. And they lacked git support for quite some time. Github basically burried them by the time they figured out they had a problem. Of course it still exists but it's not a very obvious place for people to park their code at this point.

Hey there’s still a few of us left. I am the developer of mood tracker MoodWell, a similar genre apps as this post. Users input a ton of their private data in the app- from their mood and emotions data to what activities they are doing, notes, photos, weather etc. to track their mental health and how it’s affected by different activities, weather etc.

This is very personal data and that’s why my app keeps all this data locally. Only if they use iCloud sync between multiple devices, then it goes to Apple iCloud server. But none of that ever gets sent to me and I have no control or access over their data.

I have similar reputation about privacy for my other apps including my hacker news client app HACK, school timetable app, resume builder website etc. my resume builder website even builds the resume pdf locally in the browser and no data gets sent to any server.

I didnt say I liked that Comcast was allowed to lobby to block EPB. But EPB won and they also won customer appeal.

If you read what I said, Comcast, having received billions from the government to build fiber optic networks that they never built, should be under advanced scrutiny, perhaps forced to keep their internet providing monies separate from their TV cable system monies.
I agree but I don't know on what points. Has someone a synopsis of the article? I have no FT subscription.
So? Source Forge is long abandoned, nothing says Github will be super popular forever.

Slightly related, in order to prevent super long passwords from eating up CPU time is it better to hash using sha256 before argon/bcrypt so that the length is constant, or is it better to limit password length to some arbitrary number like 64 characters
Thanks for this thread.
I got an Amazfit Bip to use with GadgetBridge just for this reason, to have control over my data.

It's definitely not a very sophisticated device, but it tracks my heart rate and activity and can track my walking routes if I want it to. And the data never leaves my devices.
I've seen examples of it be done, but think it's a patch that masks a more serious problem with the hiring process. In early stage startups, you should only hire people who are qualified and excited to do the job. At later stage or well-funded companies, the salary and compensation should make it worth working on niche things that are usually hard to be excited about.

> everywhere is relatively cooler

It's warmer than the same date last year where I am.

Comparing with the maximum temperatures of last year.

- January 13th 2022, the day of the explosion was 6.4 C warmer

- January 14th 11.6 C warmer

- January 15th 6.7 C warmer

- January 16th 9.1 C warmer

- January 17th 1.4 C warmer

- January 18th 2.2 C warmer

The difference is even more extreme if I compare the minimum temperatures.

There has been more rain, but that is to be expected when the weather is warmer (in my region).
NAS appliance with RAID 5 over 4x large disks.

You probably wouldn't use Bitcoin for direct payments, though you certainly could if someone else was willing to accept it. I imagine you'd primarily use it to store wealth on an open and permissionless network, and then convert it to local currency when needed to make the purchases you want.

As I mentioned, Alex Gladstein has lots of good articles outlining how people in countries that are affected by war, authoritarianism, hyperinflation, or all of the above, use Bitcoin. These are the best articles for that:

YYYY-MM-DD is, as far as I know, merely a recommendation in DIN 5008, not in any way the standard in Germany, either officially or informally. DIN 5008 does allow for DD.MM.YYYY (with the dots and without spaces), Duden recommends spaces after the dots.
> I think we can agree UBI is not possible in low income countries

No, we won't agree. Any country can tax its industry (GDP) by certain percentage and redistribute this among its population as an UBI. It might not sustain you, but it is a form of universal dividend.

The actual percentage is only a matter of political choice. I don't think any country (unless there is like a disastrous famine, and even most famines today are actually redistribution problems in disguise) can really say that redistributing 100% of its GDP would not be able to sustain its population. So there must exist a lower percentage from which this is possible.

I wish modern Western economies would have the guts to do this with about 20% of their GDP. Economic history shows that (especially progressive) taxation actually matters very little when it comes to economic growth.

security is hard, but this is going out of your way to expose your system.
1Password has a pretty good white paper explaining their security design (PDF behind the link): https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-p.... The parts "How Vault Items Are Secured" and "How Vaults Are Securely Shared" go into sharing passwords in a vault.

For the record, Bitwarden's white paper is a good read as well. Available at https://bitwarden.com/help/article/bitwarden-security-white-....

According to the International Civil Aviation Organization, parallel simultaneous takeoffs are allowed only when the distance between the runways is at least 760 m, a suitable radar is available and the flight paths diverge at least by 15° after departure.[0] Probably at least one of these requisites was not fulfilled in this case.

"They've all refused Wright's demands, though a firm called nChain Ltd is 'said to be working on a modification to the existing BSV client software, which would enable someone who owns but cannot access the BSV to regain control of them.'"

Note that Craig Wright is the Chief Science Officer of nChain[0].

It seems cryptocurrency enthusiasts love irreversible transactions until they have one of their own transactions they want reversed, although if you're high enough up the pyramid you can get yourself sorted, e.g. by rewriting the client software (as in this case) or by forking the blockchain (as per Butlerin and The DAO[1]).

As a former Antifa-kid (I don't go to punk shows anymore as 30 something, unfortunately), it's pretty surreal how off base and delusional this is. Antifa is primarily made of:

i) dweeb grad students who have read too much Left "theory" but are really just liberals,

ii) liberal punks whose primary goals are keeping cryptofascism out of their communities and cooking veggies from the local farmers market (not necessarily in that order), and

iii) anarchist punks whose primary goals are keeping Nazi punks out of dive venues and cooking vegan chili from dumpster veggies (not necessarily in that order)

You will have more success herding cats than in getting that motley crew to agree on a single policy action, let alone organizational action.

That such a group have invokes for you a specter of Weimar-era Nazis is kind of embarrassing, and speaks to an utter lack of diversity in social experiences. The teen smoking weed in a Dead Kennedys hoodie down the street from you has probably has an Antifa sticker on his laptop, and perhaps he'd love to throw a brick through a Starbucks window... but that's not Kristalnacht.

Taleb btw is nowhere near as fragile as to fear Antifa as some vanguard force for e.g. Nazism or sectarian ethnic militancy. He's literally more concerned about random bitcoin fanatics.
What are the theories about why the real Satoshi doesn't just move all the coin to another wallet himself to prove that Craig Wright is just a scammer?
By now I assume that any service where I've registered for an account is being actively targeted and that any organisation that's not a Google, Microsoft or the likes has already been breached. MFA is your friend, and even plain vanilla SMS based MFA is better than just a username and password for authentication. I've enabled hardware based MFA anywhere it's supported.

15-20 years ago it was fun to sign up for dozens of new services and we reused passwords everywhere. Now every one of these accounts is a liability and a potential vector for bad things to happen. The worst case scenario is when an account of yours is breached and abused for a long time, possibly with legal and financial ramifications, and you don't find out until much later.

A couple of months ago I happened to glance at my Gmail's spam folder by chance, and one email way down the list immediately grabbed my attention. The subject line had *my password* for an old and unused account that I'd forgotten long back and the sender was trying to extort bitcoin if I wanted the account back.

The big issue is with online shopping. The sender has your name, address, email, phone number and possibly your CC number, a prime target for identity thieves.

> if you're not distributing your work

That’s not true either. There’s no such distinction. A program using a GPL library (such as the kernel) is considered as a derivative work according to the FSF.

Canonical legal (for ZFS) decided that distributing a non-GPL module is fine, as did NVIDIA for their GPU drivers.

If the GPL is considered as enforceable on that front (which was _not_ tested), a lot of things would change.

The same emotions and scenes that played out under communism play out everywhere, they are depressingly human scenes. The triumph of liberalism is coming up with systems that, if followed, transcend the natural monkey-isms of humans. Things like law courts that decide based on evidence rather than common knowledge or deciding tricky questions by vote rather than by what "good people" think. And giving people freedom to do icky things and then letting the good be remembered with the bad.

It can simultaneously be true that the West is a long way from communism and that these scenes look a lot like what happened in times when communism was seriously tried. These are the same dynamics that got out of control and into the halls of power.
For me particularly, there is no specific reason to exist, and I am quite happy about this. I am not special to leave any lasting impact, as Elon would do.

I was born without being asked, as any animal or plant, because of the selfish genes, driving my parents to breed. There is no other higher purpose in life, rather than the chemical/biological survival instinct.

The brain has an "activity center", part of nature, which forces me to wake up in the morning, get some food and do computer work.

I enjoy my life very much, I live at the Ocean, trying to keep stress down and to retire early (FIRE), live until I die of natural causes.
Yeah... if you barely know how to use a smartphone Bitcoin isn't going to be much help to you, unless you learn.

That doesn't mean Bitcoin isn't already helping millions of people in these types of countries that have unstable currencies, governments, or both, but also have wide spread internet and smartphone adoption.

Read the Alex Gladstein articles I mentioned above.
No. Absolutely nothing will change. Declining is not a valid negotiation tactic when you're dealing with literal billion dollar companies. Are you seriously suggesting some company like Amazon is gonna change their terms if we decline them? They couldn't care less about us. Maybe if you're a rich corporation using their services. Sometimes not even then if the horror stories I've read here on HN are to be believed.

Where I live many of these contracts are actually in violation of consumer protection law. I've had actual lawyers tell me I can safely ignore many clauses because they are clearly abusive and judges would strike them down in court. Particularly unacceptable are those that make me give up my rights. Appatently that's a thing in the US, you can just sign away rights such as reverse engineering or even the ability to take companies to court by "agreeing" not to exercise them.
Thank Intel for single-handedly changing the 2.5Gbps landscape by integrating 2.5Gb Ethernet on their chipsets, allowing no-brainer OEM integration. Unfortunately, unless ISP router OEMs (Nokia, Zyxel, Huawei et al.) do their part (the reason being that very few people actually bothers to buy a separate router), we will not see the economies of scale necessary to fully finish 2.5Gb Ethernet.

I find it amusing that Linus himself pronounces both with the same vowel sounds, indicating that obviously the kernel is named for its creator.

While my American cohorts refuse to use the same vowels, choosing “Lie” for the first syllable of the man’s name, and “Lih” for the first syllable of the kernel. Then berate me for following the pattern but using US English pronunciation rules.

But you guys know what I’m talking about, so just shut up and let’s get on with this deployment, mmk?
Doesn't matter when the entire network bandwidth is taken by my 1 Gb/s download and/or the photo backup. Everything on top of that needs too much bandwidth then.

1 Gb/s network is probably enough for most people, I agree. But I certainly think there are many use cases for faster networks, especially in digital-heavy households.
I work in slightly dysfunctional division. Going extra mile is not desired and rocking the boat is being punished. I am old fart with a decade experience and want work at my work and play games with whoever I want. That’s where ageism comes, because I see cool startups around packing the same old development tasks into epic events for superheroes. Maybe I spend too much time with GURPS and d20 earlier, but work is work and gamification can stay aside. I wouldn’t do this as a manager either because the new superhero can suddenly start wanting more salary for being so superior.

I was involved into a project for subway operator efficiency increase. That was packed as a game where one gets points for braking as less as possible. Union stepped later in and closed the show. Nobody needs extra tension in already stressful job.

Spun up a Vaultwarden docker and gave it a try. You are correct, it does have password history. That's great. It was probably there the whole time and I didn't notice when I evaluated last.

I see it doesn't have history anywhere else, such as secure notes, which 1password does have.

Might still be too tough to give up the extra types and tags, but having history on the passwords is a great step. Quite tempting indeed.

Hey, original author of the article (only just discovered it was shared on HN). I really appreciate both your comments about how we can improve the post, have added it to my to-do list to update this to put them in a better order and to make the self-referencing part about OpinionX more transparent (outside of the list of 99 companies, I think).

As much as the original order was indeed mostly random, I also placed them so that each 'pair' side by side were roughly the same length, purely for aesthetic reasons. I think alphabetical order might just make more sense.
I kind of like when I go to a foreign county and people pronounce my name in a different way than I'm used to hearing it. Having them struggle to get it "right" just doesn't work anyway and makes them struggle needlessly. Even in my own country, there are two common ways to pronounce my last name and while I only use one way myself, I really don't mind when people use the other way.

I named my son, "Alistair", and there seems to be a million ways people pronounce that. He doesn't seem to care either.
