I bought an Index recently and love it. Lots of fun games and to be honest a lot of hours logged are in the free valve demos and the Steam VR environments (quests which award items for your avatar). That being said I have zero desire to do work in VR. I don’t experience motion sickness (except momentarily in Pistol Whip), but I can’t imagine VR doing anything but hindering my ability to focus. I personally have moved to just one screen and although there is a lot of cool customization that exists in the VR space I don’t need a bunch of other screens bringing distractions.

I have never worked in robotics, save for hobby drones and hexapods. The question is not whether we would enjoy it, it’s whether someone else will. You seem very convinced that you should decide what people do for work. That’s the part I’m trying to get across to you, you should not have that power for anybody but yourself.
I’m confused what JIT spraying has to do with this post?
It wouldn't violate the First Amendment, since the court isn't going to be a government actor for that purpose. A court absolutely could order someone to change their code to comport with the judgement--I mean, this happened to Apple in the not-too-distant past. What the court can't do is compel everybody to use the new hard fork, first for the simple reason that most of those people aren't being sued, but somewhat more fundamentally for the reason that it doesn't really remedy any judicially-cognizable harm. (That said, it's similarly hard to envision a scenario where the court orders someone to modify Bitcoin's code, especially if you're talking about something that retroactively adjusts balances).
Considering Australias stance on encryption and just about everything else tech related, I don’t see this as reflecting negatively on Meta.

I've no idea why would profitable company that does password management ever need to rise such amount of money. This could be an intro for big exit, who knows.
They will literally have to throw their users under the bus, limiting features and increasing existing plans. Expect 50% price increase in the next 6 months, alongside with some "great feature" with which they'll try to justify the price increase.
You make an excellent point. Let's wait until people are actually beaten to death and imprisoned (and not just one, like a good few thousands of them!), and only then start complaining.
"Assume you are on a relatively typical unix system, you type `ls -l` and press return, walk me through what happens in as much detail as you're comfortable with."

A decent candidate will give me 5-10 minutes of delving into various parts of "unix processes", maybe "dynamic linking", most probably a bit of "file system" by judicious use of "could you explain that in more detail" or "how does X work".

A truly excellent candidate will have me taking notes for 25-30 minutes, while they pre-answer all my followup questions, go through process creation, dynamic linking, file system API, filesystem internals, maybe some disk layout, process termination and signal handling.

Out of maybe 120 candidates I've asked that question, one (maybe two) have answered it so fully on their own that I did not have to ask any followup questions. And pretty much exhausted my question graph, so once done we could pivot to "do you have any questions for me?".
also, a free market doesn't count in the externalities of crypto mining.

Like the massive waste of electricity and the resulting carbon emissions.

The free market doesn't care about the longlevity of the earth, because it is an externality that is hurting the collective instead of the individual participants specifically.

The same goes for labour laws, the 8 hour workday, health and food regulation etc.
> I'm actually surprised by all the reactionary comments here with almost no research.

On the contrary, many of us are already experiencing the paid SaaS squeeze from 1Password long before this fundraising.

It doesn’t matter what they claim to need the money for. The company and product already declined from a great standalone option to a forced SaaS subscription payment with the self-hosted options removed. There’s no way I’m buying the story that they’re raising more money without a goal of squeezing more money from their customers, nor will I believe that they’re only going to get this profit from other customers while ignoring the consumer space.

In the real world, companies don’t actually segment up their product offerings and operate them as separate businesses with separate profitability goals. It’s all one big product mix and they’ll be squeezing money out of everything, wherever they can find it.
My point has nothing to do with political correctness. My point was that she does not in fact have the qualifications to critique Wilson's work.
Ask HN: How does the secondary equity market work?
I invested in some startups through an equity crowdfunding platform.

For some of them I'm happy of the investments while for others I'd prefer to liquidate my equities (even at slight loss) because I'm no longer interested in the project or believing in it.

I've seen that they offer a secondary equity market where you can find buyers and sell your equities.

How does it work?
Are there any fees (legal, bureaucratic, fiscal) etc that I should consider?

I basically think of the department of home affairs as the morons that didn't realise 1984 was a warning and have mistaken it for a helpful instruction manual.

It's to be expected they want to eliminate any vestige of public rights in the name of safety, the safety of the state they believe they are protecting, not the safety of its citizens. Just look at the way they laud operation ironsides, the FBI turned ANOM into a giant entrapment scheme and was able to arrest no-one due to it being blatantly unconstitutional in the USA, while here in Australia, we have zero protections and the Federal Police round up every single person they can find, trumpeting the wild success of their largest operation ever... handed to them on a silver plater by the US FBI, and such bad police work that it was unable to arrest anyone in the USA...

Just disgusting... All of it.
I suggest starting with The Manager's Path by Camille Fournier. It's a great, practical book that covers expectations at each level along the engineering management career ladder.
I learned about services I didn't know about yet, Secrets Automation, and the Fastmail integration.

I can't find Secrets Automation pricing info. Is it just, every developer needs a paid 1password account and that's it, or what?

*edit* oh wait I just found it, the answer to pricing is "Contact Sales". Booooo.

Question from the community comment thread here:

How many people are actually going to change away from their current 1 password account as a result of this OR how many will watch 1 password and make a move in the future if product lowers their quality vs how much of this comment thread is people expressing viewpoints but aren't tied to the product in a real way?

Obviously tough to validate but I feel like a lot of the comments are just knee jerk reactions without any real action tied to them. Curious if I am on the margin of comments though.
I didn't say anything about toxicity, I don't know what that is and haven't found a clear definition. Hatred is a completely appropriate reaction to the percieved stupidity of others, its a human emotion like any other it can be expressed as vulgarities, capslock etc. but the expression isn't the problem here. You can clearly define vulgarity, or other types of unwanted behavior but this isn't enough for the self appointed tone police. We are not anything 'as a society', we are not a society, we are not even remotely in the same culture. We as different peoples that have to interact and if you make criteria based on the arbitray standards of civility based on your culture this is terrible for a number of different reasons.
Welp Technically yes everywhere and it has been that way since the gdpr

Practically this is the number one reason for our nice "attention, do not resits, we are using cookies on your electronic machinery" popups.

For quite a few sites its the only cookie you actually accept.

Its a s**t show really. Every single client ever now needs to have a cookie popup because google is going to punish you in your rankings if you do not use their integrations too.

And if you do use their integrations... you need a popup.... and dont even get me started about "legitimate interest".

But this is the way... I opt out as much as I can and block through the router as well as ublock.

The most interesting thing that i noticed is that if you block third party cookies in safari on your phone, some sites will show you a blank screen. Timescale does this (I have reported this as a bug month ago but never received feedback).

Its an amazing feature by now:

- the page loads and you can see the content

- the page trys to show you the cookie popup

- since i dont have any cookies allowed, the script will just completly blank out my page

welp. welcome to the future. Its not neccesarily better, but I can see them all now, which i guess is at least a step in the right direction.

Note that this isn't purely "do not use Google Analytics"; it's "do not export EU data". For context, there used to be a trade agreement to ensure EU companies were still allowed to use US server hosts, called US Privacy Shield; but that was torpedoed by other legal rulings.

TBH, I personally do not understand how it is legal to provide a single shared service in the face of data localization requirements, especially if other countries were to adopt similar rules. Is it just a matter of having separate shards for each jurisdiction? Or do we need to instance the entire application so that US users don't even see EU users and vice-versa? Most off-the-shelf/FOSS webapps aren't built to be sharded this way, they assume One Big Database that has everything. That would include some of the GA alternatives they list; which, again, is a problem if those apps don't shard users by jurisdiction.

I suppose for now, just hosting everything in the EU is fine, if only because the other jurisdictions with data localization requirements[0] pretty much can't be served with a shared application anyway. I'm imagining that's what the person who built this was figuring it would be used for. But if the US starts demanding data localization, the Internet is fucked.

I don't know about httpd specifically, but many applications want root only to be able to bind to a privileged port (like :80). This can be circumvented in one of a few ways:

1. add this to .service

AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE

2. or listen on :8080 and use NAT:

iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -o lo --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080

3. or make the port unprivileged

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80

It may work for httpd too, I haven't tested it.
It's supposed to be much harder to cam out with JIS, unless you try to use a Philips screwdriver on a JIS screw (which will most definitely cam out and chew up). I treated myself to a JIS screwdriver, for the rare occasions I adjust my (Japanese) bicycle groupset.

JIS, as far as I know, is the technically superior cross-head design.
Again, you can be poor on paper but not actually poor. It’s called tax evasion.
It's still possible. There are plenty of religions that insist it should be the default among marriages.
They previously raised $100M in 2021[1] and in my mind the rot has already set in. 1Password 8 is not OS-native and is an electron app. Local vaults are no longer supported - you must use AgileBits's cloud. And 1Password 7 shows non-dismissible ads for upgrading to 1Password 8[2].

Edit: They also inexplicably (and silently) dropped support for the 1Password iOS share sheet while directing users to the 1Password iOS Safari extension (which only works if you use AgileBits cloud and does not work with local vaults)[3].

Edit2: Missed another $200M raise in 2019[4]. That puts them at nearly $1B in VC funding now.

If this were isolation in a digital universe you'd end up with eternity in a questing/grinding RPG or something similar. That sounds like hell if it's even a form of consciousness. Eventually something happening in the outside world would destroy this system and everyone would die.

There are open, growing, learning upward ascending futures and closed, repetitive, conflict-ridden downward spiral futures. Some kind of consciousness uploading without expansive contact with the real universe is the latter.

Bitwarden is not an alternative to 1Password that passes the wife/parent/elder test because the UX is so bad they need to call me everytime something isnt exactly working as before.
Yea that was said by no one ever.

I notice this bullshit narrative this past year for every over hyped technology.

"X is just like when everyone was dismissing the internet" even though that never happened.

In the early days of the internet, people were either excited by it or had no clue what you were talking about. No one would ever say they would just stick with the library. Just total nonsense.

Someone saying this is probably too young to have used a card catalog at the library.
Awesome you actually took a look at it :D

It's far from being _proved_, but the more I've thought about it the more it seems to intuitively line up with other systems of behavior optimization

But yes, its actual application to, say, social psychology has not been rigorously (or even partially) established.

I have a fantasy that a grad student or two will go down this rabbit hole to see if it can be used to build models that hold water. But so far I haven't seen anything.

The government should never be allowed to be "not technically wrong", it must be held to account and made to prove why the course of action it is taking will result in something the public desires coming to pass. It can't just be "oh we need this because... reasons"
Its clearly dishonest to claim that vaccines "work" when you know that most people will read that as "blocks transmission and infection"

If that's not enough, change the definition of "vaccines". Surely that should convince everyone!

Edit: they did that:

> Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.

Today: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/imz-basics.htm

> Vaccine: A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.
The assertion seemed to be that higher taxes which go to universal social programs cause people to flee, I provide examples of countries that have higher taxes going to social programs where people have largely not fled even though such activity is not prevented. I fail to see how this confirms the assertion.

Hosting my own Matomo installation I beg to differ. Matomo is open source and my visitors data never leaves my own server.

Except they only do backend tracking and see https traffic from website frontend tracking reaching my analytics server as it "leaves your infrastructure".

But they at least made one thing obviously clear to me. I would never consider using them in the future.

Also they are wrong factually. Google Analytics is not illegal in Austria. The court made this clear. Transmitting the IP without anonymizeIp is. Also transmitting PII data unencrypted to GA us (but GA does forbid that in their TOS as well).

So not caring about the law when implementing GA and doing it just wrong is forbidden in Austria. Who would have thought. Using it correctly and adhering to data privacy best practices is just fine with GA.
I’ve only engaged with VR in passing, but am curious to think more carefully about it. If anyone is moving in the other direction and wants to pass along a headset, email is in profile.
I assume many of us are hanging on to older 1Password versions that offered perpetual licenses and Dropbox syncing.

Once those eventually stop working (OS update, browser extension changes) I’ll be switching. But I’m not going to proactively change because there’s no reason to.

The 1Password SaaS isn’t terribly expensive, but I would have spent $100+ more on it for the exact same functionality I’ve had with my perpetual license for the past several years. I have no intention of spending more money for the same thing and having the overhead of managing yet another SaaS bill.
If we're going to discuss crushing inflation and prices, shouldn't we also consider BTC and other coin's wild volatility? 60k one day, 40k the next. That's not a very stable system either.
That your competitors product is illegal is an excellent point to showcase for potential users. We're not even talking real mudslinging, just pointing out reality. Being offended over this is baffling to me.
Well played! It's like Dropbox all over again.
> If you're behaving in an entitled way, and you're told - i'm sorry you're not welcome here. Having sufficient dollars is not enough for entry to my classroom - then what's the problem with them continuing to be entitled off on their own elsewhere?

And this requires giving everybody money instead of just fixing the entitled attitudes by kicking them out of your store? Why are we choosing the most expensive path?

> If this idea were true, it would have happened already.

Because we have actually addressed the entitlement and not fed it right?
Imagine saying your favourite thing in the world is education and then exacerbating yourself that much when the situation isn't going your way. My money is he loves being on stage "teaching" because he's in love with himself, not educating.
> And they'll throw their users under the bus

Just as they did when all the snafu with Dropbox and the switch to a subscription based service.

Before the subscription service, I had spent hundreds buying all their apps for me and my family. 1P wasn't cheap but it was worth it. They used the users' Dropbox to host the web based vault. Obviously one day Dropbox decided it was not ok to use the public folders to host websites.

It really was a shitstorm in 1P's forums and they handled it very badly.

1P could have spent pennies hosting the vaults on S3 or something but they decided to tell their paying customers to switch to the subscription if they wanted a web based vault. They didn't even have the decency to offer a free year to the subscription or something.
Use the same config you'd use for the latest systemd version. It will ignore flags it doesn't know (and warn you in unit logs).

This seems to be a general characteristic of enthusiasts.

To design a good car for people other than car enthusiasts, you have to hate cars or at least be able to place oneself in the shoes of someone who hates cars. People who don't love cars want a car that makes them think about cars as little as possible. The purpose of a car is to carry you from one point to another, not to make you spend time on cars.
Read it again, i explained already.
I definitely agree with your sentiment. Being in VR all the time seems exhausting, but being able to switch between the two seems pretty awesome.
I'd be comfortable with a halfway approach to this article.

- Ship and implement as much as you want when you need tight control.
- But build on solid foundations which are already well established, so that you don't end up reinventing the frigging wheel.

I have a Flask app which is nearing 8 years old and it's going fine. Nowadays, I'm starting my backend python APIs with FastAPI, and feeling very comfortable.
I’m amused by the large portion of the Hackernews userbase that seems to view venture capital as an absolute evil, given that this is YCombinator’s forum.
