The website does not say Google analytics is illegal everywhere in the world. Only that it might be in parts of Europe. I don't think this is insignificant enough to be considered misleading.
This is what I think when I hear about a company being attacked by someone inside their development/ops team or the latest 0day.

Ideally there should be measures in place to mitigate these worst case scenarios but those are legitimately hard, expensive, and require commitment at all levels of the company.

This wasn't that. The worst vulnerability was caused by a very basic mistake that was more at the level of fundamental competence than security expertise. If you're going to use GraphQL you need someone who knows about GraphQL. It's been out a while now, they aren't that hard to find.
1Password is like 15 or 16 years old at this point, right? The fact that they still need "financial backing" after all that time is extra alarming, IMO. They have raised nearly $1B in VC money!

This has come with all the expected side effects. No local vaults, electron apps, forced subscription payments, etc etc. More VC money makes for a worse customer experience, almost universally.

> How is this really different from going public?

Venture Capitalists are not like the general public. People trading public stocks value fundamentals - a good product that generates _profit_, _steady_ growth, etc. VCs want cancerous, explosive growth and are willing to take the risk that the pursuit of cancerous growth kills the company.
I wonder if you could use advent of code or Project Euler style challenges that have a multitude of problem/solution pairs to bootstrap support for languages besides JS? The difficulty would be perhaps a bit high, but not a bad starting place.
In my experience it gets boring very quickly. In my case I hadn't automated anything, the company was just bad at utilizing their staff and they were happy to keep me on the payroll doing next to nothing. It resulted in my worrying about skills deteriorating and being more depressed than usual.
I worked at a small insurance consulting firm in 1994. Before I got there someone did data entry into a spreadsheet but then sorted all the rows manually by inserting and copying and pasting. I read the Lotus 123 manual and showed them how to sort with different priorities. Their mind was blown. They had been spending hours sorting rows and the computer could do it in a minute (it was a slow machine)

Then they would take the spreadsheet data and dial in to a mainframe and type everything in again. This was a system at a different company. They wanted the spreadsheet version for their own local records. I found that the mainframe had a "file upload" feature and I figured out the format.

I installed Linux on another machine, added in some old ISA ethernet cards and had a network. I saved all files as Lotus 123 and .csv and wrote some Linux scripts to convert the data to the format the mainframe needed.

I also wrote some wrappers around "grep" to find anyone's info in the daily Lotus 123 update files.

All of this should have been done in a database but I had just finished my freshman year and didn't know anything about databases and the owner obviously didn't know much about computers in the first place.

Anyway I got a $500 bonus at the end of the summer and a glowing recommendation when I applied to some real software companies the next summer.
Send them an invoice.

You'll never see a penny mind you, but IME (which includes getting pimped out to help the admin office a decent bit in grad school) mystery invoices have a pretty good chance of getting "wtf is this"'d all the way up to the dean's office.
You're not the only one, I too like it. But there comes a time when you want your merges and rebases to work predictably (absolutely never reshuffling your lines randomly), your conflicts to be solved once and for all (without hacks like rerere!).

Maybe you may also want your tool to serve your workflows and not the opposite.
“Why don't you just” has plagued the software industry for decades, and now you try to use it on legislation.

Fire the employee and hire someone off fiver to look at the script and explain it, and then get an intern to run it once a week. If the script isn't written, I now know I can hire a consultant to write the script once. Sounds like a win for me.

Except that's not how it would play out in one of my orgs, I'd chat with the employee and find a solution, if they're not excited about ANY other work in my business at all, I'm not sure they are a good fit for my business. As big boy buffet said. Price is what you pay, but value is what you get, the terms of that deal should be pretty clear imo.
Scientific American has soiled itself irreparably, and this is just more of the same, by someone who isn't fit to carry his magnifying glass.

"the so-called normal distribution": calling something "so-called" is the sort of thing that creationists do when confronted by the facts of natural selection. It has zero content and if it says anything, it says "Ewww! I don't like all that yucky math!"
The problem with this line of thought isn’t the motivation though, it’s the lack of attention to the pros weighed against the cons, and how heavy the cons are in relation to the pros.

I'm guessing this isn't what you meant, but a password manager that integrates with the Credential Management API[1] would be amazing. Would simplify password management a lot if it got widespread adoption, and provide an easier upgrade path to strong public-key authentication using WebAuthn.

How is it UBI in practice? It is not uniform, and the guy makes $92k which in most areas is well above what a person would require basic income.
Indeed it has.

First: That, within certain bounds, is deliberate — a small level of inflation helps the rest of the economy by encouraging spending. The last thing you want is people HODLing their paycheques.

Second: your link shows an average halving time of the US dollar purchasing power of 22.5 years. Bitcoin has about the same price today as it was 6 and 12 months ago, but was about double that 3 and 9 months ago. Even the Brexit referendum’s effect on the GBP would be hidden in the noise of BTC’s volatility.
OP's economic argument is pretty sound. 40-50 years ago you could buy a new house, get a solid blue collar job with a pension, and watch your house 5x in value over the next 50 years. Makes it very, very easy to settle down with someone and start a family.

In today's economy, even for the relatively well-off, home ownership is essentially a pipe-dream and it is much harder to put down roots of any kind.

The second the marriage becomes hard, it's a lot easier to break a lease than it is to break a mortgage.
The "switch app" button randomly stopping to work every few days, on a flagship Pixel phone... is a bit of a bad sign to say the least. But I don't think Google would allow Android to die, it's too much of an opportunity in that vertical.
I believe we’re in a content bubble.

All the old television networks, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Apple, and others are pumping out more mediocre TV than anyone wants or cares to consume. The quality is too low and the quantity is too high.

It’s telling to me that the most-watched shows on these networks are often sitcoms from the 90s and 00s, despite a mountain of newer content going unnoticed.

A shakeout would be a good thing.
I think he's pinning his hopes on the assumption that if courts say his fork is Bitcoin, his chain is the one that exchanges regulated in Western countries will trade as Bitcoin, and therefore his fork is the one that dumb money that's heard Bitcoin is going to the moon and hasn't heard of Craig Wright or forks will buy. If actual cryptoenthusiasts are too disgusted to even sell off their tokens on his fork, that just helps his token sales
I did a similar thing almost 20 years ago, I had to manually verify that the image files from one network drive were the same as the image files from a different location (some internal web-page, I think, I had file access to them, too). That was taking me about one hour each working day, in fact each working night/morning, as this was a night job and I had to do that at the end of the shift (6-7AM).

I had started learning some PHP but very quickly realised (by reading on the web) that Python was way better for this job. With the help with the Python docs page, the Python mailing list (very friendly back then with newbies, maybe still is, haven't been there for a long time), of tkinter (excellent library!) and of py2exe I was able to write a quick script on my Mandrake distro at home, turn that script into an .exe, copy it to a floppy disk and use it at work. Just like that, an ~1 hour job turned into a maximum 2-minute job, the time it took me to open the tkinter-based "program" and press a button or two. One or two years later I was getting my first job as a computer programmer, writing Python, thanks in part to that realisation of "I can make this thing way faster and easier by using Python".

The best products are built to address your own needs.

Kids don’t want to have fun doing chores, chores aren’t fun. Kids want to feel included, important and respected.

The fact that you (the giant, highly-intelligent human that keeps them alive) wants their help is the most important thing and makes them feel like they have a valuable place in the family. The chore isn’t the thing that matters, it’s the parent looking their child in the eye and respectfully treating them as an equal that matters. And once you have established that mutual respect, getting chores done is easy and mutually beneficial.

So yeah you can gamify chores, but then that comes at the expense of one of the great ways to build a parent/child relationship: coming to a common, respectful understanding of what it means to be part of the same household.

I could go on and on about this idea. But that’s why I think it’s so important to have an exec in your business that is living and breathing this parent/child relationship because you can’t interview 100 parents before each important decision.

I appreciate the ambition, but 3 non-parents trying to make an app for parents is a lot like trying to write a travel guide about a country you’ve never been to. It’s possible, but certainly way harder.

Yes indeed - currencies (not monetary systems) based on precious metals, such as the Groschen or Thaler.

That doesn't have much in common with the "gold standard" monetary system as it was in the USA. That emerged from a monetary system of private banks that issued their own banknotes.

And it has practically nothing in common with the modern quantitative easing monetary system that is orchestrated by public and private banks.
Hate is anything I don't agree with.
You seem to be missing my point which is that, as a maintainer of a command line tool, I need to and want to cater to users of all OSs. And in fact, I will allocate my efforts more towards popular OSs. I genuinely am sure that your BSDs are a nice environment, but surely you understand how fringe they are? The majority of my users are MacOS+Windows, with substantial Linux also.

In fact MacOS has an excellent package manager -- it's called homebrew. I don't really want to argue about it but you're the one who made an unjustified assertion about an OS which I bet you don't use. People like you insist that it's bad but no-one who uses it knows why. I maintained my own Linux laptop for 10 years, and for the last 10 years I've used homebrew on a Mac. It has literally never given me any problems! I've never even searched the issues on Github for a problem as far as I can remember.

Honestly I think that the thought processes of most Linux/Unix enthusiasts like you who criticize homebrew are

1. We hate MacOS because childish anti-capitalist ideologies

2. Therefore we will not admit that a nice command-line development environment can be created on MacOS

3. Therefore homebrew is bad

Alright, I don't care too much about that. This is not what makes the magazine bad. There was also some cold war anti-soviet bullshit at the time. I remember a communist friend of my dad that sometimes came home and reprimanded him for making me read such an obvious capitalist mouthpiece that doesn't even have formulas in its "physics" articles (the guy was an italian phyisicist working on a tokamak). But the articles were longer, more interesting, and much more in-depth. Right now most articles have barely two or three paragraphs, with many of them being content-free or short news snippets.
I agree that all these other companies are competing with YouTube. I mean like you said… there is tons of original content on YouTube that would never get made via “mainstream” / “traditional” producers.

Take all the FPV train videos made by train engineers on their routes. Or the dudes who sit around at popular inlets in Florida recording lake boats attempting (and often failing) to go into open ocean. Or the person who does ASMR car detailing. Or the dude on Australia who jets out plugged drains. Or the people who live stream airplanes landing at LAX for 10 hours.

Nobody would ever put that onto a cable TV channel yet each of these content creators have a loyal audience that at minimum funds a hefty beer fund.

I was under the impression most of these cryptocurrency assholes are in corrupt countries where energy prices are either low or its easy to steal electricity.
I knew a chap who left where I used to work to go to a large UK bank at high end contracting rates.

He returned after a few months saying that the team he joined (which was apparently quite large) had been given no work in that time and hadn't even been given any computers - and they weren't allowed to use their own devices for anything. He said he left simply because he couldn't take the boredom - even though, as he freely admitted, the money was fantastic.
Not "unfair".

We get to see how they compare.
The context of the phrase “think of the children” is that it’s used to justify policies (especially around surveillance and reduction of freedoms) that make society worse for everyone (whether they’re put forward by incompetence or malice).

You don’t think that people aren’t on board with things that do actually benefit children!?
I like Bitwarden too, but can't dismiss the fact that 1Password is superior to Bitwarden in many ways:

- Mobile UI is beautiful on 1Password.

- The UX from creating a password entry to auto-filling is easily better on 1Password. Bitwarden doesn't show autofill entries on login forms yet. That's a deal breaker, at least for me.

- Account recovery via a trusted family member.

- Additional security measure: private key in addition to master password.

Personally, the 35 USD fee is justified.
Very informative table and article, thank you.

The "imprint" doesn't necessarily need to show your private address though, only an address of "someone responsible for the contents of these website."

Do note that "someone responsible" can be a legal entity! Not only cooperations but also a "Verein" or a similar legal construct.

Also, note that you do not need to list your address, only a "Anschrift", which often times is the same thing as an address, but really just means "If I write this on a letter it has to be delivered to you." So a postal box for example works just fine.

If you are a startup you will have all of these things anyways, I don't know a single startup that isn't also a legal entity. Indie makers is a bit more tricky, but as mentioned before it is pretty easy to get around this requirement via a "Verein" or something similar.

As for free tools not being usable, I honestly don't think it is that big a problem. Google Analytics doesn't work for you? There are other offers out there. Or you could selfhost matomo. Or if you want then you can just go ahead and run an awk script on your Webserver log.

As for not finding information and on the sites of famous European indie makers, I am going to let you on on a secret. The "Impressum" was always intended so that consumers could have a look at who they are dealing with over the internet.

To this day it is still handled like that. If you aren't selling anything or doing anything else that "a classic" company would do it is highly unlikely anyone is going to care whether or not you have an Impressum.
> Come on people, that old “and the children?” trope? Australian government is really embarrassing some times

There's criticism of the "think of the children" trope because it's used to defend bad ideas using an emotional argument. The bad part is the smoke screen for bad ideas, not the defending children part.

Putting a particular emphasis on the privacy of minors seems like a good idea.
Table tennis is a great fit here because the physical game isn't reliant on feedback from the ball, either, since it weighs so little. Swinging a bat as hard as you can will easily tire or hurt you in VR, but table tennis transfers really well.

This is true of all password managers that have any ability to connect to the internet. You’re one silent update away from your manager suddenly uploading all your passwords to a random endpoint in Russia.

You are comparing initial retail sale values and not accounting for major money makers for gaming comapanies, virtual currency and micro transactions. Doom does have whales. GTAV has people who have spent thousands+ on GTAV online.

This is the differance. This is why so many companies pump games full of microtransactions. They don't care about the average player spending 60 dollars on the game. They want the 1 in 100 or 1000 or 10000 whales who spend 2500 to 50K on the game.

Agreed, Keepass file synced on Google Drive. Using this for 4+ years now with 0 issues. Syncs across desktop (Keeweb), Android (keepassAndroid) and ioS (StrongBox). Takes 5-10 seconds to sync.

1Password, like Evernote, to me is a canonical example of an app that's actually "done" and ideally would enter a sustain mode.
The creative writing argument is used all over the place on Reddit though. I once shared an anonymized true crime story that you could verify by reading the previous week's local news where I live, and about half the comments on the thread were people saying it was obviously fictional, congrats on becoming a crime novelist, etc.

Among other things I think it really says something about the way people choose to look into, or not look into things. In a lot of cases it would really easy to casually verify these stories, even if offline or via PM, rather than going with the straight-up subjective interpretation.
I had a similar experience, could only go 30 minutes at first until motion sickness set in or the headset became uncomfortable. After some time and headset strap adjustments though I'm comfortable for a couple of hours or so at least.

I do think some people see this trope so often that they actually start to think consideration for children is a pointless or useless thing, yes. Heck, I think some have even decided it’s malicious.

Look the central point of fiat currencies is that it provides for monetary control to governments, which includes a measure of inflation.

If you truly believe that replacing that with a non-state controlled currency that does not allow for monetary control is something government will allow or is even something that the general public would want, you're diluting yourself and are way to deep into the crypto bubble.

The only reason you hear anything positive about cryptos from the general public is because they think they can make a quick buck.
