According to this guy’s (possible wrong) view of market elasticity.

More food stamps-> each person work more hours to survive-> more labor supply-> lower wages.

(EDIT) Which would make him not like food stamps.

There are other effects of food stamps, but in this guys view, that’s the dominant term. Maybe he’d like it for his own employees, but certainly not for the market as a whole. I guess it’s the opposite of “restaurants have to pay people more to compete with coronabucks” narrative that started a year or two back.

Even as an extremely spiritual person into esoteric and occult things, I found this a little heavy handed. And like, I believe in God and follow Buddhist trains of thought. Which is what you seem to be doing too.

You shouldn't talk about miracles/siddhis, and especially shouldn't act as if they are gifts or something to attain. They are not the goal. They will delude you and lead you off the path with their intoxication. You are flaunting having the ability to perform ridiculous things, and saying you are basically chosen from God (given gifts, same thing). You say these things, to normal people, on hacker news, with no proof. For what gain? Your own ego? Given the context, it seems like you are using God to support some sort of narcissistic ego problem.

And like, This is coming from someone who believes in the subject matter you are into. What use is this article to the average reader here? You are making the entire occult scene look bad.

We need more than one axis to vote with in the US. Mathematically that will only be stable if we eliminate FPTP voting and switch to voting for multiple people for multiple positions.

I'm fine with Kshama Sawant being on the Seattle City Council but 49% of voters in that district are disenfranchised. They should be able to band together with others to get a candidate more to their liking.

> I also think both Microsoft and Google will discontinue their non-profit / education offerings by the end of the decade

Not going to happen because both of them are buying Mindshare: Microsoft is trying to salvage their staple of being a must-have requirement for office IT with Excel/other MS Office (including Office Online) dominance, while Google is trying to take all of that away and get people hooked on the power of collaborative document/spreadsheet editing, now with Notion-style features like inline people mentions.

In general it seems like Google is winning in lower education with the advent of chromebooks, MS is winning on the higher education front (Uni staff don't want to move away from Office), and Google Workspace is winning on the Startup front, but I doubt either offerings are going to charge schools for their basic offerings and will instead opt to throw more new features into their own separately-subscribed SKUs (eg. Google Voice having a different per-user subscription cost).

> The problem is always finding good roommates who aren’t secretly murder hobos.

As in a roommate who murders hobos or who is a hobo that murders? If a hobo becomes a roommate, are they too stationary to still be a hobo?

A hobo is a migrant worker in the United States. Hoboes, tramps and bums are generally regarded as related, but distinct: A hobo travels and is willing to work; a tramp travels, but avoids work if possible; and a bum neither travels nor works.

I think they should continue to allow users to buy a license and use your own sync as they did before. I had no problem paying for a license each time a major version was release.

Honestly, I don’t feel like most here are really the majority of their target audience.

I’ll continue using it though. I haven’t found anything that works as well for me.
You buy a product to use it. Continuing to have to pay for something that already exists on my computer and doesn't require anything from them is just extortion. Subscriptions are for when you are buying a service. There is no service I am buying when using 1Password (previously).

guarantee you that consumership will go up significantly once they roll this out. The iPhone is just the beginning. This will make more "overpriced" stuff like the XDR Display and Mac Pro more "accessible" to consumers while making Apple significantly more money in the long run (since many people would rather commit to a monthly cost than a high upfront price or higher monthly payments with an end date)

> This law was passed in 2017, 3 years after the Euromaidan, because Russia invaded Ukraine giving the mere existence of the Russian language in Ukraine as the reason for the invasion.

Russia also invaded Ukraine in 2014. The parliament voted to ban Russian language in schools immediately after 2014, it was only vetoed by the president at the time.

> I see. I made the mistake of assuming you were arguing in good faith. Won't happen again; have a nice day!

I am arguing in good faith - you claimed that the reason they stopped teaching Russian in schools was due to the Russian invasion, but there is ample evidence of attempts to do this prior to the Russian invasion.

You are making a surprisingly good case for browser apps. With binaries, you're restricted to a tiny fraction of available apps that are carefully vetted to _reduce_ the chance of security issues, whereas with browser apps, you can run any untrusted web page. A malicious binary can spy on pretty much any private and sensible data on your PC, while a malicious web page can only do some fingerprinting.
> Just like we wouldn't expect cars to be frozen in time in the 1950s, we shouldn't expect UI/UX to be either.

I think your example points to a peculiarity of UI/UX: cars have changed a lot since the 1950s, but their interface has remained surprisingly constant.

I think there is a point to be made that an interface can reach a point at which it cannot be improved, or at least not without a whole paradigm change.
It's not something I've played with before but it seems to me it would make sense to include a concept of local intensity in selecting lights. Luminosity/distance/distance.

I also suspect that in most situations you can cache most results. Cast one shadow ray at a light selected randomly distributed based on intensity (thus if half the light that could hit a pixel comes from one source that light gets picked half the time) and a cache of the other answers. Sit still and it will be basically perfect, the more you move the more error there will be but there will also be less ability to notice that error.

I've also been curious about using Z-buffer techniques to determine visibility. Render a frame off screen, "color" it with the distance to the pixel. An object is visible if this frame shows it in the color corresponding to it's distance.
You seriously think we will use concepts such as Desktops, Browsers, or even Apps in 30 years?

I’d suggest you try and look for more mainstream academic studies. American Progress is basically the left wing version of the Heritage Foundation as you highlight. Like the Heritage Foundation their activism often clouds their research to the point that many would express doubt about the conclusions of their studies.
Thank you for responding! To be clear, I was talking about the parent comment's suggestion, not your essay.

All I know is my personal experience: I struggled through years of science journalism, popular scientific coverage, etc. It was almost all as I described: like bad-tasting medicine coated with sugar or cherry flavor or whatever. Ugh.

Then on a lark one day, I subscribed to Nature (for others, that's considered one of the world's two leading science journals, along with Science). The front of Nature is not research papers but coverage of research and other issues - no sugar or cherry flavor or strained analogies - just coverage of what is valuable. I loved it! It was, and is, incredible. And I learned in an hour far more than I learned from reading 10x the 'science journalism'.

I'm an audience of one, so maybe it doesn't apply, but I don't see science journalism having great success in the general public. Most people roll their eyes if I try to talk about anything, and are deeply unaware. As a recent example, someone I know - with a graduate degree, who is generally well-informed - thought the International Space Station was somewhere beyond Mars. Think of all the knowledge you need to be missing in order to believe that (in what orbit? why? how do we get crew there and back?, etc.), and it's a belief about something relatively commonly in the news.
That is an incoherent conception of "equity". I don't really see how you can consider the pursuit of equity not to involve things like opening up otherwise exclusive (e.g. medical treatment) options to under-resourced individuals.

Equity is nothing more than the "to each according to their need" half of traditional Marxism. And from what I can tell no one really has a problem with the latter half -- all critiques I've heard focus only on the former.
The former, ideally the subjective understanding should be shared before the story/ticket is written and definitely before it is started. Code review is way too late.
> ...the Chrome extension stopped connecting to the native app randomly.

FWIW: The bill wasn't $69,000, it was $2,500.

People need to stop quoting bills before insurance discounts. Hospitals always use ridiculous numbers. They do this for the insurance, not for you. For the example in the article, NOBODY pays that much, uninsured included. If you are uninsured, a simple phone call would get this particular bill reduced to $5,000 or so. Sure, it is still a lot, but it's not $69,000. Note that some/many states REQUIRE hospitals to have financial assistance, and those that don't typically have judges that frown upon absurd costs, especially considering the insured/uninsured data becomes factual information in the lawsuit should the defendant hire a competent lawyer. (Translation: if the average person + insurance pays less than you are being sued for out of pocket, the hospital will win a judgement, but not for the amount they are demanding, that is provided you fight it and either make smart arguments or get a lawyer)

Note that I'm not advocating for "paid" or "for-profit" healthcare here, rather, I'd like to see people use factual information for the basis of an argument against an unpopular subject. I am socialist, and I've been trying to get Bernie and others elected to office for years.

> Efforts like that to 'sell' science - by dumbing it down, using 'gonzo' presentation, etc. - signals that the author believes there is little intrinsic value in the science, little of actual interest. Like a bad tasting medicine, it must be consumed with sugar.

You know, I've read some history that was written to read well, and I've read some that was unbelievably dry but that I slogged through anyway because I was interested in the topic.

There's plenty of room for writing that isn't unpleasant to read.
>Get rid of the monopoly.

Which monopoly?

>The reason they can have such bad CR is because their marketshare is leaps and bounds beyond the competition so they CAN.

Defining monopolies by "has bad customer service" is certainly a unique and interesting take. Almost borders on the "no true scotsman" fallacy.

Of course, the real irony that you don't understand is that this would entrench monopolies: they're the ones with the resources to hire peons in third world countries to provide bare minimum support. Forcing startups to do the same kills them right out the gate.
I don’t believe everything is constructed and I don’t believe in most statements of moral relativism. However the people involved in the arguments generally favor some view of subjective truth and/or moral relativism, at which point why do they care?

(Similar to the question of: if people claim gender is a social construct how can someone be the wrong one?)

I think the solution is nothing new, it relies on going back to teaching a classical liberal definition of tolerance and the objective morality of empathy and compassion. No need to reinvent the wheel.
I let my subscription expire about 3 months ago. (CC handling changes in India, you know)

I have only updated about 3-4 passwords out of 100s of items I store. This has been a realisation for me.

1pass, leaves the account in read only mode since it comes from your local storage anyway.

I need to get familiarised with the Bitwarden UI, its not very similar to 1pass, so there is a adoption curve. Hosted Bitwarden with the rust variant option is an option to consider.

My experience is that the phone can do just as well as the real camera for shots which are easy to take. I still go for the real camera in situations where it's not so easy.

I was going to strongly recommend the same thing, then I read the article and I realized the original article was foolish. They are complaining about electron.

Regardless, use Bitwarden. It's free and open source. Sure, it has paid options, however, they are options. Nearly all functionality is available for free.

They are in totally different products, so it depends on your usage of each.
How does that counter my point? If anything, I'd say that supports the cap, as the cap is unlikely to hurt artists - it would mostly hurt industry predators. And less money in predators pockets reduces the funds they have available for legal strong-arming.
Mozilla is always bad at supporting international customers on their commercial products. Surely their payment processor is capable of accepting cards from all countries where visa and mastercard operate, right? So what's stopping them from selling their products in all countries? Tax?

It's especially hilarious when their vpn products only available for select countries, but their vendor (Mullvad) accept purchases from all countries.
I love that steak is now a form of salad. It's just sensible really.
I don't mind a subscription nearly as much as the push to the cloud though.
Subscriptions lock you in on various levels. It’s very similar to renting a house. You can get kicked out by the owner.

Subscriptions for individuals is different from subscriptions for companies. Companies want to optimise time, individuals may want to optimise cost

personally, I am inclined to pay for IDEs as I spend more than 50% of the time on it, but not so much similar amounts when I use tools no more than 5-10 times a day.
Bitwarden has subscriptions as well, however it is open source.
Is there any point in going with proprietary password managers when there are plenty of open source alternatives available? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_password_managers
I would guess Guillain-Barre, since that is triggered by some viral infections and also sometimes vaccination (perhaps the same underlying reason). It affects very few people after vaccination, but that information is not going to be much comfort to the people it does impact. It is one condition that is a known risk factor for certain vaccines (or of various viral infections). That it could have happened anyways, from an infection, is also probably not much comfort to those who end up with it.

My manager decided that we need to use an “ETL NoCode Solution” they used it at his last job and he said its good.

we had one 45 min demo then gave feedback like it’s not granual enough, not enough control for our use cases, no tests etc.

Months later he tells me the contract has been signed and he wants me to lead the onboarding.

i do my best thinking ill get a raise since im taking on much more work and ill get good experience, i get a decent raise but not enough to make me stay.

the tool made me absolutely miserable tbh, the support they had was useless, they over promised on what it can actually do. the amount of tool-breaking bugs it had were also too many to count.
e.g: changing the mysql version connector for one data point would break all other diff ones in use.

i gave the feedback to my manager and that i think we should cut our losses short and stop the migration. he decides to do nothing

i quit :)
Do you expect regular updates? Security patches (including for zero-days)? Sync across all your devices? Backup and restore? 2FA? All of this requires dedicated ongoing work from the service side, and they are giving it to you for literally $3/month.
Also FWIW, I haven't noticed any issues since the move to Electron, and continue to find it the best password manager for me, my family, and our myriad devices.

As I type this, according to Activity Monitor there are 4 1Password processes using 0.0% of my CPU and about 225MB of my RAM.
Interesting post, thanks for sharing. I can relate a bit in that I also have poor autobiographical memory. I feel a bit like an android in Westworld where-in everyday, the android forgets what happened the previous day and reverts back to core programming.

My Dad is also similar in having poor autobiographical memory and so I think it is at least partly genetic. I use tools to help improve my memory. One of them is Otter.AI which is good for capturing conversations with other people and with making voice memos so at least that makes it possible to review past conversations and ideas. Another thing that I'm trying recently is using Google Docs as an index, basically just actively making an effort to remember previous conversations and writing down the key points in the Google Doc.
