Sure, but dont underestimate the inefficiency of power production and sequestration.

Take take the gallium example, for atmospheric levels of CO2, is 400:1. Add the thermodynamic minimum to reverse GalliumOxide to Gallium and O2, and its 800:1, at an absolute minimum. This crushes the difference to methane.

More importantly its a pointless argument, we have practically endless nuclear fuel available, enough to supply the world with power entirely for millions of years. So it does not matter if its inefficient, its climate neutral anyways as long as we stop being idiots and use what we have better. That said there are way simpler more cost effective methods than using a rare earth metal.
Everyone else (ie: non-HN-sapiens) is using the built-in password manager in the dominant browser (Chrome).
> 10G was cool but I can’t recall a single instance where I really wish I had it back.

Same. It only really made a small difference to my most transfer-heavy workflows. Even a fast NAS is still slow relative to local storage (it’s not just about sequential transfer speeds).

I’m sure I’d feel differently if I was doing something like video editing where I had to move large files back and forth frequently and wait for them to be ready.
When I went from lastpass to bitwarden I could simply export all my passwords to a json file and import them to bitwarden. I think it took like five minutes or something like that.
They will probably go Dropbox route. Dropbox used to be an excellent file sync cloud service with a robust support on many platforms. They did just one thing and did it well. Now Dropbox is positioning themselves as business-team-collaboration-streamlining-platform for everything whose software is balancing between poorly programmed malware and useless enterprise bloatware.
I think if they use this for R&D more into security, I wouldn't mind. It will be better for consumer overall.

Password manager is still hard to use for the elderlies and technically non savvy people.
This is already possible with the Logitec K830 and the Apple Magic Keyboard

As I understand it 2.5 and 5G modes were originally primarily aimed at WiFi APs as real-world capacities started to scale past gigabit speeds but replacing existing wiring for an entire building worth of APs to support 10G or completely redesigning the power infrastructure to support fiber would have been impractical.

Instead we run 10G signaling at half or quarter clock rates and get something that works on the majority of existing wiring.

AFAIK the IEEE was initially resisting supporting this, but enough vendors were just doing it anyways that it was better to standardize.

Auth0 acquires 1Password. Problem solved.
Given how many iOS users are out there I don’t think that’s accurate, and I’m pretty sure Android has that feature too.

You’ll be surprised how many people don’t use a traditional computer anymore for most of their “computer time”.

And those who do still use a ‘PC’ probably mainly use Chrome or any other browser with a password manager.

The reality is that for most uses a dedicated PM is simply isn’t necessary.
I will still recommend 1Password over Bitwarden to non-tech people because their whole UX journey is so well crafted that even my parents can understand it on their own.
The valuation is most likely based on that and the potential growth in that market.

I use and pay for Bitwarden but even I always get lost in the clunky UI and get frustrated by basic tasks (to a point I am considering switching). And it only gets worse when you have multiple teams and all the secrets are mixed up.
Seems like a lot of people are missing the piece as to probably why they need the money (and where they're pointing the company in the future). Future of 1Password: https://www.future.1password.com/

> And really, what should we care about most? A particular hue of skin, or our values, principles, traditions, and history?

That's always been a hard question to answer when there's an existing reality and history in which the "should" in your first sentence is replaced by "do". It's easy to say that it would be best to start doing the right thing today (or even yesterday); much harder to do that after centuries of doing the wrong thing.
> I hear the job market is "hot," but is that true of entry positions too?

Not in my experience, based on talking to quite a few newer devs. There are a ton of folks out there.

My advice is:

* target certain companies
* stand out

How can you determine which companies to target? I don't know you so can't give direct advice, but generally, find companies that are:

* growing
* big enough to support jr devs (this depends on the company, but 50ish for a product company and 10ish for a consulting company is my rule of thumb)
* in a domain you have some interest in learning more about
* working with a tech stack you are interested in learning more about
* in your area or an area you would be willing to move to (for a jr dev, remote can be really tough unless you have prior experience)

Then, research these companies and learn about them. Play with their product. Read about the sector and competitors. If you can, build something that is using their product. Yes, this is a lot more work than just firing off a resume, but it will have a higher ROI too.

Then use this to stand out. Here's an incomplete list of ways to stand out:

* attend/present at a meetup that the company sponsors or sends folks to
* meet with the hiring manager/recruiter from the company before you want a job and ask for general career advice
* share an open source project you built with the same tech stack as the company uses
* write a few blog posts on the company's sector
* volunteer at a tech conference where the company may be attending (if they are a ruby shop, at rubyconf, for example)

When you apply at the company, make sure you tune your cover letter and resume to outline how you stand out.

Of course, the pre-requisite is that you can code. Make sure you can do that first.
It seems to be using mostly the linux capabilities: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/capabilities.7.html

So the overlap choice seems to be more around SELinux versus Capabilities. Where SELinux is more fine-grained and tunable, but more complicated also.
> but it’s solved for most by a combination of just using the same passwords

That's not what I'd call a "solution"
This doesn’t address the tld issue and does it matter if a lot of people use US authoritative resolvers? Each domain can choose and the protocol isn’t biased towards US controlled infrastructure.

I can see the value in dns as public utility (though one I’d be skeptical about using or paying for) but this doesn’t seem to do what the OP suggests on the US independence front because DNS is already independent.

I’d be a lot more understanding of a public email provider than DNS to promote a break with US infrastructure.
I catch that. But this parent isn’t giving away their data. They found a solution that works in their unique situation and chose to share it. I just don’t get the judgment.

Maybe I’m more sensitive to it because I’m a single parent and have faced my own judgment. But dude, other parents can be awful to parents. It’s not okay. Let’s just be kind - parenting is hard enough without every expert telling you that based on their experience with their 1.75 children, you’re wrong.
As a paying costumer I can only say that the last thing I want from my password manager is for it to push the envelope and explore any boundaries.
Exactly. An increasingly common thing lately is what’s effectively a “private IPO”. That’s what this sounds like - liquidity for investors / staff, and ownership to a small cadre of professionally managed funds vs. the Wild West open markets.
Sounds like they've noticed both macOS and Windows getting integrated cloud-based password management capabilities and feel the need to branch out in order to stay one jump ahead of irrelevance.

(Disclaimer: I'm a satisfied 1Password customer. Just noting that their competitive edge is wearing razor-thin these days.)
Emirates president: The 5G snafu is the biggest screwup witnessed in my career
The article links to the Billy disassembly instructions (https://rabbitholeprodorch001.blob.core.windows.net/plugins/...)

I thought this a great idea until I have seen step 5. This step is exactly the reason why I opened the document as every other step is straight forward. "Just magically remove the 18 nails that you hammered into the back." If you have ever tried to do that you have noticed that this is hard to do without damaging yourself or your furniture. On the same level the instructions could tell me to remove the glue or unweld a seam.

The disassembly instructions are not more than the assembly in descending order.
Bitwarden is a really nice password manager. It can import from 1Password: https://bitwarden.com/help/article/import-from-1password/

Makes me wonder what dinosaurs taste like. And what other delicious plants they had back then.
Yes I did. It doesn’t bother me much. And I’m sure you could sideload something to get rid of that Home Screen altogether.
> I don’t want to live in a world where my interlocutors and I are so fragile that our ideas must “stand on [their] own” because we are presenting “[our] own experiences.” I want discussion.

Then don't be fragile. Discuss, debate.

Is there any significant benefit for solo developer, please? Or "mostly solo" one?
This on the surface seems like a ton of money… but I don’t know anything about this level of funding / valuations so who knows.

I love 1Password and use it for business and for personal. I recommend it to family and have migrated many people to a more secure setup as happy paying customers. Shared vaults for families are so important for emergencies.

It’s expensive though.

It doesn’t provide a quick way to share a URL with a client that isn’t a PITA.

The interface could be prettier and make more sense. Like why is the “new” button almost a secret location and barely visible.

Enabling two-factor with it is the absolute BEST but was buggy setting up. No simple iOS integration either.

There hasn’t been any super “major” updates in like 2 years to functionality (despite what blog boasts)

List goes on but it’s the best for now.

I can’t justify paying more. So hopefully there huge funding plan isn’t to squeeze little folk and is more for big business.

If Apple just went a little bit further with its manager (or even Google) I’d probably jump ship.
I also pronounce Linux as "Linux."

Reading this makes me furious, not because they were hacked but because this shitshow of a Website was so damn lazy.

(paraphrasing) "We were stupid 15 years ago and have been lazy ever since" is a slap to the face.

Maybe they should have done something about their platform instead of watching anime with subtitles.

Those people should have their internet privileges permanently removed and the whole site should be burned in a dumpster like the dumpsterfire of security they had running for fucking 15 years.
Neither would I but they do it anyway. I’ll convince anyone I can to just pull the trigger on 1Password, but not many do.
Not very reassuring that when you reset your password they send you a new one in plaintext over email....
Yes. Very precise measurements of gravity on Earth have shown that, although it always points to the Earth's center, the force of Earth's gravity varies by latitude a tiny bit[1] (because Earth is a rotating oblate spheroid) and by elevation (because gravity varies by distance between center of masses). Neither of these can be accounted for on an accelerating disk Earth.

That wording is why I said it didn't — note that it doesn't say anything about the offline mode at all.
Bitwarden has an import option that will pull from a lot of other password managers. However, it definitely isn't perfect.
SELinux is designed as "mandatory access control," meaning that it is not normally disabled.

The normal filesystem permissions of read/write/execute for user/group/other are among those known as "discretionary access controls," meaning that they can be relaxed.

The systemd unit security options are discretionary, at the control of the administrator.
You're writing on a technology forum.

How is it you probably have very good context in terms of adoption curves, cost curves, and generally the ability to see the future better than the average person, but when it comes to Bitcoin/energy creation, there is no effort?

Of course mining is going to use the cheapest energy available right now. We subsidize fossil fuel industry and we don't utilize carbon taxes.

But solar power, wind power, renewables, are now the cheapest sources of energy in the world, and in all of history and will presumably only get cheaper (https://ourworldindata.org/cheap-renewables-growth).

Capacity gets built out when demand exceeds supply. Capacity is also a larger upfront cost. Low hanging fruit gets picked first.

So project 10 years, 25 years, and 50 years out from now. The first Tesla Roadster came out in 2008, 13 years ago. In 2008 people laughed at the idea of electric cars, now its abundantly clear that electric cars will be the only cars of the future. It took time for manufacturing capacity and technical improvements for the right scale to occur. You're living in 2008 saying "what evidence is there for an electric car market? That goes against the current evidence of all these ICE auto sales we currently have."

You’re still going to wind up assuming a lot of baseline common knowledge that, while it might be stuff you find interesting and have come across in pursuit of your personal brand of geekery, are likely not actually necessary for the job.

Just consider that there are people - perfectly intelligent, capable of learning - who don’t actually know what ‘GPS’ stands for. They maybe don’t know that the GPS system is separate from their phone’s cell connection. They may not even know that satellites are involved. They may have not taken enough of an interest in space technology to have internalized how satellite orbits work, to have intuitions for how orbital speeds and altitudes are correlated. Or they may have picked up a common misconception at some point in the past about how cellphones work, thinking cellphones are always talking to satellites. So they might have made some reasonable intuitions about how GPS works that - because they haven’t been exposed to the true answer - cause them to make some erroneous assumptions that seem like dumb mistakes a poor engineer would make.

Not having had the opportunity to come across those things is not the same thing as not being able to incorporate that knowledge into your worldview when you encounter it.
These days, systemd is better/easier to sandbox _services_ than SELinux. SELinux/AppArmor is still the best way to protect individual GUI and user apps (anything not ran from systemd basically).

Show HN: DevToys.app – A Swiss Army knife for developers
With a friend from the university, we realized that many developers are pasting sensitive data on random websites in order to decode some Base64, JWT, compress some images...etc without wondering what the website does with this data. Therefore, we developed a free, open source and completely offline Windows app designed to help with these little common tasks.
While we released multiple updates these past months, we finally reached v1.0 today.

Fully solo: no.

Mostly solo: if that means you're in small teams, yes, since you don't need to follow the rigid workflows that prevent large companies from running into Git's problems.
Torx and starheads are great for things like soft wood, but too much torque screwing into metal or plastic is going to crack the casing or strip the threads or hole instead of the head.

Similarly they work well for bolt applications with a lock washer or other point of weakness to handle over tightening.

Torx screws really should be used with a driver with an adjustable torque setting, which is pretty standard on most cordless drivers now, but rare for manual ones.
> This is to such an extent that I'd feel surprised to find anyone seriously try to justify it, which is why I didn't really engage with your apparent suggestion that it was an important justification.

I mean, a key example of how vengeance still plays into punishment is the level of support for capital punishment.

I'm glad we find it equally unjustified.

Also, I agree that you certainly can dismiss vengeance as a valid argument without dismissing free will, btw. - a lot of people who do believe in some variant of free will absolutely do reject vengeance. My point was more to offer up an example of something that is very hard to reconcile with rejecting free will.
Usually, yes. With git specifically, I find that it's better when git expands the wildcards though (ie I quote them so the shell doesn't). This allows things like "git add *.py" which will work over the whole repo.
It is just stuff.

I would like to see more approaches like "why are people stealing stuff?", and I lean towards thinking that these people just don't have their basic needs fulfilled and they resort to crime.
620m at a 6.8bn valuation is staggering. If they IPO at 10bn in a year they need a plan by then to grow towards a 30bn valuation, otherwise doing an IPO makes no sense. That is unbelievably ambitious for a password app.

The founders are clearly willing to bet their company on their expansion plans. In the post they allude to expanding to the security space more generally. Curious to see this develop in the coming years.
I remember watching a video by industry insider taking apart Tesla and VW electric motors and comparing them. And he was constantly complaining that VW uses too many bolts and screws where they could make snap-in connections that are cheaper and less likely to vibrate loose.

Like there wasn't even a thought in his mind that making it possible to disassemble and reassemble an engine is a good thing.

If you are reusing things beware that languages will sometimes optimize out attempts to zero memory when they notice you write something else after that, or free it. Check your compiler/implementation instructions for details, if they don't give specific guidance assume that even if they do the right thing now the next upgrade will do differently.
