Sure, but I'd be surprised if Crashplan was operating their home offering at a profit beforehand and just went "eh, we don't need money". 1Password seems to have a totally viable consumer market that's making them money without all that much work on it. It would seem weird for them to kill a golden goose.
Understood. Not exactly the answer I was looking for though.

I know a lot of people who lament that burning man is becoming too much like a traditional festival. Increasing numbers of attendees require corporation-esque governance which in turn damages the authenticity of the experience. The influx of influencers and others who 'naively?' expect a produced event doesn't help either.

Less people due to a pandemic would seem to be a good thing. Some would argue that the man really needs to fall out of fashion so it can shrink back down to a size that allows effective self government by attendees without undue legal risk.

All said, what part of the pandemic is causing Burning Man to 'limp' rather than consolidate and hasten a return to its roots?
It's even more convoluted than that. Due to vowel reduction, unstressed o is pronounced as a, but до is one syllable so the o is stressed. When pronouncing до separately, it would definitely be pronounced as do, but до свидания is always said quickly as if it was one word, so the до turns into an unstressed syllable.

As a side note, Russian pronunciation is remarkably uniform compared to languages like English. Dialects do exist but in practice the vast majority of speakers will pronounce things very similarly. The phonetics are also so different from English than the typical English speaker will not pronounce any Russian words close to native pronunciation.
I don't see how cryptocurrency solves any of the problems. Items 1-4 would still exist. The only difference is that the corporations would be funded with ETH/BTC/DOGE/whatever rather than US Dollars.
Wishing you healing Mike. I’m burned out myself at my current job and not sure if I’ll ever get that excitement or passion back in my life.
Someone with good post draw should create a poll.
Spend some time in hardware manufacturing shops that don't focus on software. SVN is "easy" and has been in use for decades at this point. The SVN mindset is entrenched.

Migrating requires someone know how to handle the command line, buy in from management, and so on...

It takes a lot to get a behemoth (even a small one) moving in a new direction.
As someone of Indian origin - I just call myself South Asian. This seems to be accepted term by many of us who were either born or raised in the west. That could include people of Pakistani heritage, Sri Lankan, Nepal and Bangladesh.

I think BitWarden is a better comparison -- it's SaaS (and thereby dead simple to get set up w/ cloud sync), but it's reasonably priced with a solid free tier, and open source to boot.
A vaccine taken daily is so far from the typical associations that it is similar to the insistence by biologists to call a tomato a fruit. How something functions for the practicing human is different from how something functions in that human, the person is more likely to associate how it functions "for" them.
> Yes I do. Why? Because they handled it for hundreds of years, and it works all day everyday.

Do you mean to say that you are fine and dandy with your purchasing power eroding over time?

All governments eventually start tinkering with the money supply. It's all well and good that you trust your government to do the right thing, sadly that's not the case for a large portion of the worlds population. Have you seen Turkey lately? Lebanon?

> The number of transactions is a measurement of efficiency.

The number of transactions would be the same, regardless of energy spent on mining. Be it 1 joule or a million.

> Only between 2 parties, after opening a channel between them, which requires: A transaction. And neither party can use any of the funds transmitted via the payment-channel in the wider network until the channel gets closed, which requires: Another transaction.

This isn't correct. The Lighning Network isn't just a channel between two parties. It's a network of channels between participants that allows you to transfer to any part of said network. You can open a channel to someone and never close it. Why would you? There are channels that are multiple years old at this point.

> The banking system imposes no such limitations: A transfer can be initiated at any time to any IBAN in the world, with no prior agreement, the energy cost is miniscule, and the moment the transfer is completed, the funds are available to the other party for transactions to whatever other IBAN they want.

This is really looking at the current banking system with rose-coloured spectacles wouldn't you say? What about the billions of people that do not have access to banking? You don't think there's any value in those people being able to use something like Bitcoin to interact with the wider international markets?

It’s a must if you consider the windows platform to only have the native windows shell(s).

I have no data, but I’d wager cmd is still much more widely used than either ps or wsl is.

Of course the dominance of windows on the desktop among developers is smaller than it is elsewhere, but it wouldn’t even surprise me if as many git users use cmd as any posix shell.
Oh sorry, I thought it didn't get selected...
Original Content just goes against the fundamental appeal of YouTube that is "anyone can be creator". Of course, their investments in Shorts to compete against TicTok proves that they are no longer only game in town for "creators", even though the format varies others are coming after them.
I found it weird that certain cases only need to get a certain exam score say 40% to become a doctor whilst others have to get 60%. This is discrimination in trying to prevent discrimination and does not promote a meritocracy.
It's more like they need 3750 years of $80k salary and 100 years of ~2.5 million salary for a dozen execs and board members.
Lo ha kol!
I wonder what's the dynamic that leads to this. Same with some localized cultural phenomena here that peddle "silver water" as cure for many illnesses. Or some news channels giving quite odd health advice...
English is defined by usage. If enough people make the same “mistake”, it’s not a mistake.
This whole post and the website is totally misleading. It's marketing disguised as a helpful tool.
>How come 1Password needs the equivalent of 7750 years of $80k annual salary to build the same?

It will go to all-expense-paid trips, consultancy fees and other things you need to eventually get acquired for $10B+ by one of the big players.

Or maybe, they will pivot, spend $300M on advertisement, so every grandma gets to know the brand name, and will then do an IPO, presenting it as the next opportunity of lifetime to the unsophisticated public.

This is how you make money in the post-2008 world. The actual old-school profitability has been out of the picture for quite a while now.
It's easy to overstate the technical difficulty of lots of basic IT work, especially if people are tech illiterate.

There might be an element of deliberate fraud if this guy is spelling out the difficulty of the job as justifying his pay to management. I've seen very clever goldbricking similar to this, where management doesn't know enough to understand what good IT looks like, or how to value IT work.
Yeah, I'm much more worried about their future now than I was 5 years ago. Having to justify a $6B valuation for a password manager means making risky moves into new markets that may not pan out. If things don't go well, AgileBits will be sold for parts. Perhaps to the same kinds of vultures who own LastPass and TravisCI.
I've always thought the X-33 program was terminated wastefully. The concept was sound, the engineering was just a bit too bleeding edge, but slowing down and reducing funding rather than outright cancelation would have been better.

Whats pivotal about this company is they have the correct heritage for this work. The CTO is former head of the Future Space Transportation and X-33 program at Boeing. This is the X-33 with a quarter of a century of learning to build on. Its definitely possible to make this work if they get the money.

But it might have a hard time competing with SpaceX and Starship if it doesn't move relatively quickly, they might be able to survive in a niche that SpaceX doesn't have much success with, but the economics behind Starship means that its going to be very hard to find those niches once Starship starts flying commercial payloads and people begin to adapt their architectures to take advantage of "I can just make it bigger and heavier because Starship is so cheap". The more the industry moves that way the worse off an SSTO will be since they will inherently be paying the full penalty of the rocket equation and cannot hope to be as "brute force" performant as SpaceX's Starship.

Looks really really cool though and I can't wait to see more... Go team space!
>the complaining of billionaire's having low income tax...when they have low incomes

Just because they take a $1 salary and get paid in stock or have tons of stock holdings that increase in value instead doesn’t mean they don’t have any money to play with to cover their own personal needs / desires, as I’m sure you’re aware. This is what people mean about avoiding the spirit of the tax while adhering to the letter of the law.

From what I understand, they way they do this is to get millions per year in personal loans from banks, secured with their stock. Then, instead of “income”, they have “debt”, but most reasonable people would still see that as “they can spend millions of dollars on whatever they’d like and they didn’t pay tax on it”. Most people would love to do this, the problem being they don’t have hundreds of millions+ in stock to secure those same types of loans.

I’m sure every politician working with tax law understands how they play the system (and how tax offshoring works for companies), yet they choose to do nothing about it as not enough lay folks complain hard enough to affect their next election. Combine that with “the car dealership” / “ISP” model, where “if we all agree to do the bad thing and hold the line, people will have no choice but to let us continue to do the bad thing”. There’s no political will to fix it among those in power, as they benefit from it too. This is why I have very little hope of ever seeing real tax reform in my lifetime in this country — the politicians willing to actually carry out the will of the people or engage in topics that would materially benefit the masses are few and far between. It’s much easier to keep everyone frothing at the mouth over tie pins and tan suits.
tbh, something similar happened to me too. I took over a sysadmin job, multiple servers. They had a lot of problems in the backend, because of bad configs, sometimes they spent days resolving the same issues on multiple servers, without trying to fix the root causes. I just took the time and went through the configs and corrected them. Also made some simple scripts that do the same thing that they did manually. No one knows how much is changed in the background, so they don't bother me with how much I actually work with the administration, they just know they used to spend hours with problems before, now nothing really comes up, maybe one problem every two months. Now my job with them is just generating monthly health reports, spending five minutes looking through the logs, making the invoices and being available when something doesn't work.

So yeah I can believe the poster. Some firms never thought about automatization, maybe they don't even know how much is possible, so they are happy to pay the same amount if everything just works, without bothering you about actual time spent with it. Maybe it even works better, than it used to when the other dude did it manually as a full time job.
Ask HN: Is it time for a home network TLD with TLS?
Just watching Jeff Gerling's video on home automation and it struck me:

If we want to simplify accessing things with IP addresses we use DNS. If we want encryption at transit we use TLS. Is it time for the tech community to make having a domain name for home networks with proper TLS on everything more trivial? I've achieved something like this with Nginx-Ingress, LetsEncrypt, DNS and NAT but that's a little too involved for the average home. Is it time to "Dropbox" home DNS and TLS?

Although it's plausible that had he stayed on for say another five more years, we would have seen the fruits of his early investments pay off and the stock appreciate accordingly.
To differentiate from Git Pijul should focus on usability. Thats by far the main complaint people have about Git. Not many people care whether it is patch based or snapshot based. It's super hard to explain what the advantages of that are.

If Pijul has an easy to use interface like Mercurial did then that will massively help adoption.
Am I the only one that actually likes git? Everyone here says it's a hodgepodge of broken things but I really struggle to see how.

What does Pijul do that Git can't? What does it do better?

Google analytics is against the law because they are American which means that they have to give up any data the us government asks of them. That’s the only illegal thing they do, and they are not better just for being American. They are better because they are better.

Alright, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, the roads, fresh water and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
True, I might be mixing names. What I mean is that now with fast hashes it's feasible to take for each user and compute a table with the 1,000,000 most common passwords and their specific salt, and repeat for all the users. With a modern homemade GPU rigs making billions[1] of computations per second, you are testing thousands of users per second with a 1M word dictionary, so you are going to find matches.

There have been many links to the SciAm article and to rebuttals and opinions about it. Popular media articles and obituaries that get it right should also be linked to and promoted; e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jan/13/they-saw...
I don't think trends and fashion are that aware of their own transience. For example, the rise of Christianity in a region hardly coincides with the rise of other forms of theism. But why not? If people are willing to believe in one imaginary superbeing, why not others whose logic is precisely the same as Christianity? Yet precisely the opposite happens - the one arbitrary belief is forced to delegitimize similar trends, in order to establish itself as not-just-another-arbitrary-theism.

Transgender people have only very recently been given the faintest legitimacy, and they naturally want to defend that against transracialists and otherkin and other movements that basically look like a parody of trans people. Even if their logic isn't fundamentally stronger than those other movements, transgender people have something that actually matters: a little bit of power.

Why should anyone sacrifice that to the altar of logic?
That's my thought, too. What about BitWarden's UI do people not like? It's simple to use and clear what everything does.
> People need work to feel fulfilled.

I, too, worry about the idle rich and think we should do something to help them find work.
That's not how it works in the real world. Evading missiles, or avoiding being shot at in the first place, is more about tactics, signature management, EW, situational awareness, and defensive systems. The performance limitations of the "meatbags" are seldom the deciding factor.
Heart rate levels during exercise also depend on age and sex (among other things). This is how you can get heart rate zones to know how intense your exercise is.
There is the question of liability management. If something bad happens due to an edge case in an algorithm, and people die, who is responsible?

With an algorithm, you are placing responsibility on something you cannot blame.

Not popular in situations where human lives are at stake.

A human operator, with such a responsibility, will develop and sustain skills to handle any edge case.
You aren’t being paid to copy and paste files, you are paid so the company can retain your skills in the event anything goes wrong.

If the evidence was gone, corrupted or needed to be changed , they have someone on staff who can quickly remedy that. Isn’t that the point of a high skill job? You get paid for knowing which screw to tighten, you don’t get paid for tightening screws.

That's a recent thing, as I understand it. After Hub switched to their enterprise plan setup.

ZEIT had a pretty aggressive cache anyway, for the short time it was implemented (before ZEIT moved away from docker hosting, at least).
I wouldn't mind this if this was clearly advertised as a "ad-supported" TV to lower the price, (similar to a ad-supported Kindle) but sadly this does not appear to be the case.

If you need a citation to tell you that it's easier and less risky to not commit crimes, you're not engaging honestly in this conversation.

As for the claim that you'd behave as they would, were you in their situation, that's basic Situational Action Theory [0], a well studied theory in criminology that attempts to explain crimes as moral actions.

The irrational focus on the relatively small number of "because I wanted to" type crimes is very popular in conservative circles, but isn't an accurate or helpful view of why crime is committed, and it's not shared by the plurality of experts who study this topic academically.

We have a corporate password vault and it sucks. If 1Password makes a compelling product and brings their considerable UI/UX expertise to bear on it, this could absolutely take off and make my life easier.

With 100k individual users and its background as a consumer application, 1Password wouldn't neglect the non-corporate customers—at least until David Teare retires or otherwise leaves.
And I assume you then exchange your Bitcoin to USD or VEF, and proceed to use the standard monetary system. Or do you pay for your groceries with BTC?
This isn't the problem. Re-read what I wrote.
Ah yes, put all the blame the curious 9 year old, and none on the professionals paid to design and run the software...

I get that this is technically against the letter of the law, but I think the NCA's stance that this will lead to a life of crime is a gross overreaction. Investing more in the software would probably a better use of resources anyway.

ETA: Also, invest more in the kids! Likely, they're interested in programming and they have no way to learn about it except by becoming script kiddies. Don't tell them "NO!", offer CS classes or some such. I think I was lucky my high school offered AP computer science in this regard.
>What I'm seeing now is not serious or good or science.

Or entertaining.
Hmmm.... I read the headline here and was a little perturbed. WTF does a password manager need THAT much money for.

However, after reading your comment, I hope this is the direction they go. I actually really like the future where I can have instant accounts attached to a more anonymous backend than my social media. I'm sick of things as mundane as my local gym asking for access to my fucking friends list.

Sign-up hurdles are a real thing too. I recently read that it was a major factor to Microsoft's video gaming stream service never taking off.

Yes, that's what I love with my son. He doesn't need any device to, realistically, be a dragon, or a dinosaur. Granted, a t-shirt with a dinosaur illustration can help.
Congratulations to all the folks at 1PW! It's been a slog.

I'm very bullish on 1Password. They are the only product that I can use across my entire family and workplace with such little hand holding.

While they've pretty much solved the consumer front, there is much to be done to solve the needs of businesses. For example, right now if an employee leaves, we have to rotate everything they had access to. Their SSO support and API are pretty new, but historically managing vaults and users has been a pain. They're making steady progress.

I'm excited to see what comes next.
