The benefit of the attenuated live virus is that it can replicate and go on to infect others, spreading protection from virulent polio to unvaccinated people.

One of the covid-19 origin theories was that China was trying to make an attenuated live virus SARS vaccine that would self propagate through the population
I do, and I understand that something this blatantly unconstitutional (and widespread enough to be notable) would get slapped down by the courts super hard before being actually acted on.

Do you understand how things work in this country? When's the last time there was a statewide policy like this that explicitly targeted people of one particular religion? Especially kids going to state schools?
Invention of atomic bombs?! Who knows what they are actually talking about, when you throw you nest wide you can always pick and choose later, that's the aim here.
the Romulan ship near that dead planet made me want to hyper in and dump torps.
Vue 3’s <Teleport> component pretty much solves this, as any component can inject a part of its template to anywhere else in the DOM (edit: even outside of the app’s root element). Very nice feature.
Here's an example of scientific research being questioned for such ethical reasons, in a less familiar area.

A genetic cure for hereditary deafness looks possible. Here's the objection: "Members of the signing Deaf community argue that research which aims to eliminate or cure deafness is a form of cultural genocide. The argument goes like this: the use of gene therapy to cure hereditary deafness would result in smaller numbers of deaf children. This, in turn, would reduce the critical mass of signing Deaf people needed for a flourishing community, ultimately resulting in the demise of the community."[1]

A similar argument has been made against cochlear implants, which already work in many people who are totally deaf. "According to the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), “An implant is not a ‘cure’ and an implanted individual is still deaf,” which makes us realize the crux of the issue. Those who are deaf and hard of hearing consider these disabilities to be aspects of their identities. By using the cochlear implant, they are essentially killing a piece of themselves that they’ve lived with from the day they were born."[2]

Think about that for a while.

Indeed. I'm tired of paradigmatic nonsense. Scott Alexander had a good piece about that relatively recently.
It's really short on some critical features - including web access, the ability to manage and list and share across family accounts, password recipes etc.
What do you think is better about it?
> People keep asking about examples of work that exemplifies "potential harms [that] outweigh the benefit of publication." How about large scale human vivisection?

People are asking for example of something this particular set of rules would prevent.

An example that's already illegal in the most extreme sense of the word doesn't convince anyone.

This is a straw man. The only people who won't see it as such are those who already agree with you.
> as a society, said "you get a budget of 10k. 10k lives you can severely negatively impact to deliver impact greater than that number"

10k negative impacts multiplied by every startup, most of which will never get to the stage where they’re able to deliver their “benefit”, and even then, how do we quantify whether it was worth the cost?
What features are missing specifically?

As a happy paying (both corporate and personal) Bitwarden user, the only gripe I had was the lack of multiple-profiles on the same device (which was recently added and works great). We came from KeePass though, so we're likely a more "spartan" user of password managers than some.
I think patents are usually granted if filed in the correct format. The expectation is, challenges are where weak patents are discovered. The patent office hasn't got enough lawyers to examine every application.

Also, trolls rarely are the ones creating these patents. They just buy up some basket of idle patents, then spend their morning looking for any company announcing anything that has a couple words in common with something in their 'portfolio'. They send a boilerplate royalty request or whatever. Rinse and repeat.
> Linux has done more to kill exotic OSes than anything Microsoft or Apple has ever done.

I'm pretty sure commodity hardware, standards like POSIX, and the fact Unix-like OSes being taught in operating systems classes really did more than just Linux alone.

> Unix won so hard most everything else is dead; even Windows is very "unix-like" in ways people don't even realize.

I'm not so sure. I learned to code on VMS and then AT&T Unix, and I see a lot more VMS in Windows than anything. VMS was actually pretty interesting itself.
> This is getting to only be about semantics. That’s your definition of ‘rights’ based on your specific set of political beliefs, but it doesn’t reflect common usage or what people are referring to when they call housing or healthcare a right. They mean that society, via the state, should provide those things to everyone.

Semantics matter. If we can't even agree on the meaning of our terms, then we're talking past each other. Political beliefs aren't necessary to define rights.

And I'm well aware of claimed "meaning" of rights. However, as I stated earlier, such a meaning is contradictory. If a provision must be received from others, then it's not a right. It is a privilege. What the state gives, it is able to take away. Housing that is provided, subsidized, or constructed by the state isn't a right as at any point in time as the state can withhold payments to, modify, take, or demolish such housing.

> And you absolutely would lose your right to safety without police or some other form of protection.

People defended themselves long before there were professional policeman. Additionally, police officers can steal from, maim, and kill people just the same. The badge doesn't inhibit them from choosing to violate the rights of individuals. I don't see how that disproves my point. Safety is product of exercising the right to defend or remove oneself from a dangerous situation. I don't need to seek permission or pay someone protection money to secure my safety.

> The ‘right’ might exist in your own mind, but it won’t do anything to prevent someone else who doesn’t share that belief from killing you and taking all your stuff. Rights are only meaningful with power behind then.

Nothing prevents the state from killing people and stealing their stuff too. Governments have done that before, and many still do it today. Every government is composed of people who are little better in a moral sense than the average individual.

However, If you truly think that power is what makes rights meaningful, then you contradict your earlier statement about housing being a right, even in the popular sense of the term. If power makes right, then no rights exist, as people are no different from resources. Resources don't have rights and the state has no obligation to resources.
Yep. Somebody asked on Reddit the other day what happened to the Apple Watch app with 1P 8 for iOS and the lead guy responded with:

> FYI, Support for Apple Watch was not dropped. The old Apple Watch app could not be included in 1Password for compatibility reasons. We are still exploring how we can include an Apple Watch app in 1Password 8.

So the Apple Watch app is no longer included, but support wasn't dropped?? I don't understand why they cannot just tell the truth about things. Why do they seem to be doing so many things that erode trust when their entire business is based around it?
Is this blog post a company? What company?
From the forum comments it seems that another major complaint is the absence of 1PW from Mac App Store. I totally get that. I also found it was bizarre that the update had to be downloaded from a website.
ABSOLUTELY. This shows fundamentally bad values. I've gone from recommending DDG to everyone to recommending other search engines.
It can be both. What an unnecessarily confrontational comment.
The subscription model means that the US government can shut my business down by instructing payment processors to stop taking payments from me, or heck even EMV can do that on their own bat like they do for adult services. If you think the complaints about subscription models are because of the price, it’s you that needs to grow the fuck up, personally.

Then there’s the SaaS model where my data is stored on US servers. If at any point the someone in the Internet decides to break BGP, sever an optical fibre, or any number of other shenanigans, I am left with what is effectively read-only access to my vaults. I have no option for self hosting to protect against hostile action between international parties that involves me or Agile Bits as collateral damage. We run our own optical fibre networks to ensure continuity of communications in the face of hostile/negligent behaviour, but with 1Password we do not have the option to host our own security.

Then there’s data sovereignty. Agile Bits is a US company, and the US government has shown its willingness to spy and sabotage in the past. Whether it’s intercepting sensitive data in transit (echelon/airbus) or building weaknesses into encryption standards or installing malware on equipment in-transit or sabotaging chip fabs to produce less random RNG, the US has done that.

There is no trust here.

Agile Bits even put out a “survey” to gauge interest in self-hosting as a means of shutting down discourse on the topic. If there was any intention of supporting self-hosting they would just release a trial product which would be a great demonstration that their business continuity plan would work because self hosting would be the same as Agile Bits hosting. Just run the containers on your own docker instead of Agile Bits cloud.

The most “entitled” comment here is yours, talking down to everyone else as if you are the only adult in the room.

i've got super sharp vision fortunately, so i see the half shading and such, and it strains my eyes which, otherwise, "expect" to bring edges into sharp contrast.

My eyes love the rendering engine on Win11, or whatever trickery they're using for fonts, and similarly on ArchLinux.
FSD FTW.
Of course. My first sentence was a disclaimer saying it only makes sense if you don’t think abortion is immoral. (I don’t think it is immoral.)
This won't work for some agreements. Some have a legally binding duration, an arcane process to follow to cancel and legal teams to enforce this.

However, they make good care to know the real identity of they buyer, so you'll (mostly) be aware you're getting into that hot water.

Did you not notice what happened when people stopped flying during the pandemic? Empty planes were literally flying around to save gate privileges. What does that tell you? Pass me some of that ha
Correct. I don't disagree. However, in my experience increased money and scale (i.e tens of millions of people need this assistance) don't seem to be helping the problem. In my head I think its similar to the problems of public education in America. We pay extremely high $/kid on public education due in some areas, it doesn't improve outcomes. It's like the whole model is un-scaleable or something.
I think one major complaint from former users like myself — I started using it over a decade ago as well — is that we bought their software by paying upfront when it had bring-your-own syncing and no (or at one point optional) subscription. Then they intentionally broke bring-your-own syncing, and eventually killed it entirely, switching everyone into a "free" client with a forced subscription without refunding people who paid upfront for the client. That's a dick move — and sure, it's not a ton of money, but that doesn't excuse being dicks. Given that there are OSS options out there e.g. KeePass... Why stay? And for large teams, LastPass has owned the market for a while now (1Password literally cloned their business model), and didn't pull a bait-and-switch; you knew what you were getting into, and why.

They also used to be pretty bad about cross-platform support; no idea if that's still true.
It seems in many cases they forgot the atonement part.
I honestly feel that it's more the toxic Apple Indie Community than 1Password. A lot of Apple users are unhappy that 1Password has started to target (in addition to their apple users) enterprise and PC users as well.

The difference between 1Password 8 (Rust and electron based) and 1Password 7 is minimal. More to the point, they tried to use Swift UI for 1Password 8 and failed (SwiftUI is another favorite community beating bag). Apparently, the only true path that certain people would have accepted is keeping a rapidly technical debt increasing Objective C and AppKit code base.
> Written on top of C, ported to Node.js.

I think what they mean is it uses uWebSockets.js, a Node.js module wrapping a C++ implementation.

How to Get Lucky?
I always enjoy Joseph Jude's writing. This post goes well with last week's "Being visible" -- doing great work, in a great way, in public, will open doors for you. You don't need a lot of wins to make a big impact. You don't need a lot of wins to get lucky.
You just described objective tools after straw manning instrumentable problems as the only objective ones.

Your problem is you're conflating 'subjective' with 'not instrumentable'. Your name is subjective. You can be in an empty white room and choose it and it will always be correct. So is your favourite colour, or whether you think titanic was good. You can't have a subjective opinion and be wrong (although you can make an assertion about one and learn later that you were confused or that your opinion changed)

Once again, the strategy for achieving your goals once they are picked is objective. If you sit in an empty white room and decide the correct strategy for your software business to succeed in your goal of having a product used by a million people is to fire all your experienced employees, hire apprentice chefs, and instruct them to spend all of their time writing poems by hand you're almost definitely wrong.

The post hoc knowledge is proof that it's objective, not proof that it's reducible in its entirety to a simplified metric.

Metrics are a tool for dealing with some objective problems, so are "your experience, your people skills, and your ability to adapt to new situations". Measurements can also include having a conversation or reviewing someone's work but not trying to reduce it to a small set of numbers.

You need to make some measurements to know if you're in touch with reality, but throwing out everything except some tiny subset of measurements that fit in a policy doc or a kpi outline is just as stupid as making decisions from your white room with no feedback.
When the Danube water level dropped recently, some old WWII ships were revealed. Is there enough demand for low-background steel to pay for their removal?
Reminds me of the book Far From The Tree. The deaf have formed proud communities but have also spawned zealous subcultures that are effectively cults. Some seriously suggest that deaf children should be taken away from unafflicted parents.
The defense gets to speak too. Court isn't a video game.

Contracts can be unconscionable or otherwise illegal.
Give us a look at Crunchy Data, suspect we'll check most of the boxes on the Postgres side.
Specifically, we have to look at Rome cira 306 to 337 AD to understand when the floodgates opened and were never able to be closed again. Once that sort of thing happens, there's no going back. From there, the moral decay sets in and the writing is on the wall.
Yeah I agree, I like 1Password a lot, but also wish they kept the native app.
We used to be able to run a whole OS + applications on 32MB of memory. What the hell happened?
Not surprised. When I read the description I was thinking 'sounds like a job for Nix..'
Knowledge itself is inevitable. You cannot control every single person's desire to know more and advance knowledge. I lived in 1980's Romania and the state tried everything it could to suppress knowledge about the outside world. People still found out things they were not supposed to know about. (An ironic example - the Romanian religion scholar Mircea Eliade died in exile during the 1980s. The Romanian state did not mention anything... and the next morning everyone was talking in the bus and at my high school. We were not even supposed to know this person existed...)
I don't know if you realize, but you are cherry picking the subjects which we can talk about (climate change) versus the subject which we cannot talk about (nuclear power, WWW).
There's a science fiction story about that, from before cochlear implants worked. Anyone know the reference?
I can’t imagine I’m going to run out of laundry to do. I’m also not too worried about losing a few bucks for the convenience
Problem with GC is that its preferred mode of operation is to stop the world for much more than one tick.

Scanning a respectable-size heap on a respectably fast machine, sans fancy GC optimizations, could easily take 30 seconds. Modern production GCs rarely pause you for 30 seconds. Real time GCs certainly try very hard to avoid ever doing that. But:

- The optimizations that make a GC run faster than 30 sec are speculative: they target empirically found common cases. Not common cases of something the programmer has control over, but common cases of heap shape, which is a chaotic function of the GC itself, the way the OS lays out memory, the program, the program’s input, and lots of other stuff. Those common case optimizations are successful enough that GC cycle times often look more like 30 milliseconds than 30 seconds. So, the terrifying thought if you’re using a GC in real time is: what if at the worst time possible, the heap shape becomes something that isn’t common case, and the GC that you thought took 30 ms now takes 30 sec.

- Real time GCs can let the program do work while the GC is happening, so even if it takes 30 seconds, the program can keep chugging along. But here’s the catch: no memory is being reclaimed until the GC reaches the end, and some or all memory allocated during the GC cycle will remain unfreed until the next GC cycle. So if your 30ms concurrent collector decides to take 30sec instead, you’ll either run out of memory and crash or run out of memory and pause the world for 30sec.

Basically, the more you know about RTGC, the less you’ll want to use them when lives matter.
I don't think anyone disputes that some methods are unethical and shouldn't be used. What the source article describes has nothing to do with methods, the author seems to think that certain topics and certain conclusions should be out of bounds. Why should anyone trust scientific studies to produce accurate findings if that perspective becomes widely adopted?
While MRIs don't use ionizing radiation like the Therac-25 did, I can think of a few bad outcomes from someone finding a 0-day on anything that can control the machine. And of course if it's read only it still has sensitive medical info we wouldn't want leaked.

I can appreciate that it's painful not having an agreed upon standard for password exchange, but for sure 1pux is a zip file that 100% includes attachments <https://support.1password.com/1pux-format/#files-folder>. I have verified that personally
I already recall reading about several instances of it happening.
Serenity is still a very Unix-like OS though.
I wonder if that is language dependent. For C segfaults or Go panics, usually the obvious fix is the fix and at least the stack trace is extremely valuable that people wouls want, if not the author than any one wanting to fork and fix. Python usually people have more subjective opinions, at least in my experience.
Honestly, in general I'm more surprised that people would be willing to trust a thirdparty in the first place, with literally all the keys to their online lives. (I'm excluding those who use password managers mainly for throwaway accounts.)
I use bitwarden in corp/client environments but the mobile experience is inferior to 1Password.

I wish Futo would pay for a great fully open source (and reproducible build, multiple competing vendor backend, self hostable backend, etc.) project. Keepass, bitwarden, enpass are tolerable.

Something which could both integrate with hashicorp vault and with some shared sessions/no sharing of passwords thing would be cool too (via weird proxy tricks or a browser trick; basically to let a browser log into my session without the user/computer ever seeing the password, only auth delegation.)
> And now you’ve attached a high leverage handle to research allocation/gatekeeping and put it in deeply politicized hands that don’t care about the research.

It's the editorial board of a journal. Gatekeeping published research is literally their job, always has been. And I think it's fair to conclude from their vocation that they care more about the research and less about the politics than all the non-scientists who've chimed in to express disagreement with the politics of their decision...

Comparing an article outlining bunch of guidelines about language and requests to be careful and clear about sampling to the medieval Catholic Church is no more reasonable than comparing everyone decrying the concept of ethical barriers to research to Dr Mengele.
They should just lock the thread if it’s getting unproductive. Sounds like the developers aren’t interested in putting it on the Mac App Store and don’t want to discuss the reasons, so of course the thread is going to be nothing but complaints and sometimes hyperbole.
The thread is actually about the app not being on the Mac App Store anymore.

Electron apps can be published to the app store, so Electron is kind of a distraction here.
Will they also import your data again if you want to reopen store in future?
I don't know. Forums like this, at companies like this, are maintained by one of marketing, sales, success, or some blend of the three (revops? engagement? pick your poison).

In the best case, a low level employee made bad choices. More likely than that, a higher level leader in one of those orgs is enforcing a policy decision of theirs. I seriously doubt a C level is involved in any way with this decision.

I just don't see how this decision has any bearing on my trust in what they're building.
I wouldn't know, but if I were to guess it would be this article: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2207323 ("Overall, 98% of the persons with infection were gay or bisexual men")
I live in a terraced house. It's a good compromise. I have a small garden, a front door, I actually own the land and can work on my own house, and I have walkable public transport and metros.

There is literally no reason for me to live in a flat other than if society does that silly thing where they don't build enough or let hoarders buy everything. It's race to the bottom BS.

Just don't let that happen and there you go, problem solved.
I also carefully delete anything I post after thirty days lest the science change and an old post of mine be found against it.
I remember Twitter in early days. Developers loved its REST APIs. They were already building integrations for custom dashboards, email, Yahoo chat, IRC and what not! Users could choose where they want to read the tweets using one of these integrations. They could read it on their terminal (xterm and such), on their favorite chat messenger or any other medium which had an integration.

It was the early days of Web 2.0 and to have social interactions on the web which could be made available on any platform in any form was phenomenal. It is really sad to see such a geek-friendly place turn into a politically charged place full of trolling, spamming, witchhunts and nasty fighting!
