Everything you're doing and alleging is conspiracy. That there is some greater will censoring anything that would reveal it was a lab leak.

There's no point in arguing with you because anything can be contorted to fit this narrative you've crafted to fit everything neatly into this conspiracy. In reality hiding something like this on a global scale is quite literally impossible. That's simply a fact of how information travels and works.

It's especially funny because the lab leak hypothesis literally originated from the government agencies and such you seem keen to deride. It was pushed by the most powerful position in America.
I don't understand how people pushing this conspiracy can square the fact that it came from the groups they claim to conspire against it

So, that 65% tax on profits really isn't doing much, it's passed on to customers. Tax rises only make sense here with capped prices.
Here we go again: Some company (in this case, Bitwarden) "betrayed" its customers by doing what every other firm does. And Hn goes brrr over it. Then another alternative (KeePass) appears on HN's frontpage. It's like companies are right: You can't target the niche market of programmers because their expectations are through the roof.

I wonder, aren't the majority of HNers working at a for-profit company funded by VCs?

The hypocrisy is just intolerable at this point.
Some, not all, people are willing to get on Boeing 737 MAX. Certainly not people who know about the fiasco and avoid increased risk.

Your counter-example does not work at all, instead it is an example of my point. Boeing managers were driven solely by profitability of the company, mismanaged safety concerns, did not tell the customer about problems and MCAS fearing lost or less profitable contracts, and that's why we got crashed planes and hundreds dead.
Path of least resistance. The same reason every single new network service has to be tunneled through a stateless client-server text protocol on a single tcp port. Doing anything less hacky would require more work/money/cooperation. Foundations are expensive, scaffolding is cheap.

One thing that no one talks about is the methane that humans produce. If you literally eat only beef, then the volume of your poop decreases by 80% and you completely stop farting. If everyone on Earth ate only beef then there would just be 80% less poop for us to deal with and no one on Earth would fart.

One thing I miss about adobe flash was the software available to create flash games and animations. It was relatively easy to use and felt like it had a good combination of graphical tools and scripting to allow you to create what you wanted

I wish there was something similar for but for modern browsers, taking advantage of HTML5 and all the browser API's available now which previously required a plugin like adobe flash.

As you mentioned the API's and capabilities are there, built right into the browsers now. I just wish the tooling was better.

Basically, its entirely possible that Daszak is covering up a lab leak. Its also entirely possible he's an arrogant asshole who got scared of the implication that there was a lab leak.
When killing an entire cgroup, you might avoid the PID reuse race by getting a list of PIDs in a cgroup, then for each PID, first opening a PIDFD to that PID, check via that PIDFD whether it’s a member of the correct cgroup, and then killing the PIDFD using pidfd_send_signal(). This way, no process can be killed inadvertently by PID reuse.

There may be a better way to do this, but one way might be to open() /proc/<PID> and use the resulting FD to both to check /proc/<PID>/cgroup (using openat(FD, "cgroup", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY)) and then use the same FD as a PIDFD when calling pidfd_send_signal().

ISTM that systemd should use this method if its current method is just looping over PIDs.

This can help people visualize how important consistency is when it comes to investments (or it can hypothetically show the opposite results on how blindly randomly buying stocks with no logic behind it might not perform the best, etc.)

Maybe there are strategies where technical indicators can act as a precursor for the decision making on whether or not you should buy or hold out?

But yeah 100% not in the scope of what you and your team are working on. :D

We think Mars had plenty of oxygen in the past, but because it's a smaller planet the molten core solidified. Without molten core no magnetic field, and without magnetic field most of the atmosphere was stripped away due to solar radiation, leaving only some heavy CO2 behind.

With that in mind, any metal ores had plenty of time to oxidize just like on earth. But metal from asteroids that impacted over the last two billion years or so should be unoxidized.

I think this has been factored into their plans [1] of bringing "consumer ease-of-use to Business users" which reads like they are moving away from the consumer market where widespread adoption of passkey will materially affect the revenues of all password management vendors.

They are betting their future on the enterprise market and the announcement blog post links to their Partner [2] page—a central part of their strategy to gain a foot-hold in that market.

In the enterprise market, inertia and regulations cause user habits to change much slowly relative to the consumer market that Bitwarden is most familiar with, plus enterprises are not price sensitive, so they can get away with charging really high prices, to justify their huge capital raise.

This is exactly what you’re implicitly asking for: deferring functionality to the OS. It doesn’t give the browser access to your camera (despite the title), it allows the browser to facilitate uploading a file produced by the camera. To the browser it’s no different than any other file input, which was standardized in HTML 3.0. To the OS, it’s not meaningfully different from opening a file picker dialog. To the user, it requires direct interaction to invoke, and while it can be abused it has the same limitations as any other file input, i.e. nothing is uploaded without further affirmative action by the user. This is much better than the JS standards which give sites the power to request interactive access to the camera (after asking permission).
> “I can make a Zig program such that no equivalent C program is faster", then that's obviously false

Why would it be obviously false? C is not that low-level of a language, for example it has no native way of doing SIMD - so Rust, C++ (and I guess Zig as well?) all have programs that are simply non-expressible in C (inline assembly is not C) and are possibly orders of magnitude faster. But there are million other things “hard-coded” into C where with more control faster execution could be achieved - e.g. one might want to have better control over stack usage.
Room sized transistors? Lol. Then how big were the computers that linked them together?
>"Just asking questions" is also a common strategy among people who would like answers to their questions.

OP specifically said "If you don't admit these (now-obvious) facts". They aren't looking for answers. They believe the answers are obvious facts. They are using the questions as a rhetorical device. I pointed out this is a bad rhetorical device to use in this instance. It was not a dismissal of their underlying point. It was saying their argument about their underlying point was unconvincing.
Coding for Contact
You can express stuff in assembly that's simply not possible in a high level language like C (or Zig for that matter). An obvious thing is defining your own calling convention with hardwired 'register semantics', and then changing that calling convention at will. Or you can use status flags as additional function return values, manipulate the stack, jump into the middle of an instruction, write self-modifying code etc etc (disclaimer: some of this stuff might actually not be possible on modern CPUs though).
Plus I feel that once one has experienced the browser integration of 1Pass, BW, LastPass, etc it's hard to go back to manually filling credentials again. That and the seamless sync across devices. It's just too much to handle for non techie folk.

I'm probably more excited about passkeys than most, but I don't see why you need $100M to add support for that. It's a pretty straightforward addition to existing password managers. Might even be easier to support than it is to build a user-friendly password autofill, all things considered.

Syncthing (https://syncthing.net) is another solution for syncing between multiple devices/computers. One thing I liked about Dropbox, that wasn't necessarily available on Linux, was the ability to choose whether to sync the files locally or keep them on Dropbox.

I'm pretty much Syncthing + Synology these days. The bulk of my files are on Synology and the little files like the keepass databases are passed around with Syncthing.
> I don't like this single point of failure.

Honestly, this causes me much uncertainty in regards to something like Google Authenticator or other TOTP solutions (not exactly what the post is about, but very adjacent when you start considering the points of failure).

I mean, Google's solution in particular has a "Transfer accounts" option that lets you use QR codes for a backup, but that still feels somewhat worse than having desktop software as well like KeePass and some password/biometrics protected database file like .kdbx that I could open on my phones, tablets, computers etc.

Apparently the closest you can get on the desktop is Authy, which is a TOTP client that runs on multiple platforms: https://authy.com/download/

There was also WinAuth, but it seemingly isn't updated anymore, at least since 2018: https://github.com/winauth/winauth

To me, software like that feels infinitely more portable and more suited for backups, versus some vendored device like YubiKey which costs close to what a new Android device might cost, making it less affordable to many.

But in regards to Google and other platforms that have their own opinions about how to handle logging in and their bespoke multi factor implementations? There's even less chance of something portable being viable.

I like the VS Code integration that Malloy has. There's pretty limited in-browser tooling for BigQuery so that bit of the extension is amazing.

But I found practically that it's very hard to get folks that are writing SQL day-to-day to try to integrate a new language on top of something they already understand in and out so I'm thinking about just pulling out the BigQuery bits from their VS Code extension to be able to write SQL with in VS Code with auto-complete and references.
Much of the discussion here reminds me of Bryan Caplan's work on the relative value of what students learn versus the value of education as signaling.

No, I have an ISP supplied router at the moment while I wait for 6e support on openwrt.

You should see similar numbers for the RT3200.

On a 80 Mhz channel with a wifi6 client device, I hit 700/500 (PHY rate is 1200/800).

I frequently see reports of 930mbps (maxed line speeds) with 160 MHz on openwrt forums, assuming you can set up an AP with 160 Mhz.

160 MHz channels are not allowed on the 5 GHz band in Canada, so I currently do not run 160 Mhz.

6 GHz will have plenty of 160 MHz channels, so as you can see that's why I'm waiting for that.
The first two paragraphs make reading further superfluous.

As a software person it baffles me how we tend to overestimate our value compared to hardware. The chip design field is really demanding, especially with deep submicron processes and with rigorous testing & verification culture that blows out of the water almost everything software organizations do.

I doubt developing a compiler for this chip will be as costly as your estimate, especially given mature opensource compiler frameworks like LLVM (already adapted to similar TPU-like architectures) and upcoming pytorch glow, apache TVM ML-specific compiler frameworks. And especially given in our industry there are people with advanced degrees who are willing to jump through additional hoops and even accept pay cuts, just to work on a cool compiler.

I respect the hardware for what it is and what it could enable.

It’s not. There isn’t oxygen. Superheating 95% CO2 with inert gases and running it over a catalyst in a device that can do about sixty operating cycles makes sense. Superheating a 20% oxygen gas mix [1] is immediately problematic for most metals; doing it to convert the 0.04% CO2 to oxygen makes no sense. (While pumping a bunch of CO into the atmosphere [2].)

The value of a specific major could go up tremendously based on which school you went to. For example, for earning potential alone, I'll take an English degree from University of Pennsylvania over a business degree from 2nd-tier State School X. If my child were going to U of Penn, I'd even tell them to avoid Wharton undergrad, where the grading curve is harder than in liberal arts there, which could make your job prospects worse. At top schools, the degree itself (especially with a high GPA) is worth a ton, regardless of what you major in. The lower down on the prestige rankings that you go, the more likely you'll need a "practical" major to get a high paying job.
I don't think I ever heard the expression 'follow your dreams' in high school in the '90s.

Even as a teen it sounded too pie-in-the-sky.

But I will say that in the last 10 years the idea of the young billionaire dropout has certainly been glorified. An idea which can be every bit as harmful as to just 'follow your dream'.
