I know people will deny it but don't underestimate security by obscurity. Why use the most well known password manager which is a huge target for nation states everywhere? Nobody is attacking my provider (which I won't say)
Revenue. Plain and simple. Everything you mention is the way they use to protect that revenue.
Yeyy! So happy to hear that! Thank you
Sorry to interrupt your pointless rant, but that’s why it’s called “vegan bacon”. It’s generally accepted that words can modify other words, like in your example of “bacon like”.
Their account manager told me that they didn't have the authority to fix it, but the risk assessment team mandatorily closed accounts with the same problem simply because of an authentication issue, but it was a technical issue with Stripe
Extension has the passwords so just need to suck them through a straw. Getting a keylogger on someones machine probably requires getting them to run an executable or a zero-day exploit.
Fly Postgres is just a Fly app. It's open source; you can grab it off Github and deploy it yourself, we'll never know. No, we're not upcharging for Postgres.
This happened with a friend. Anytime he read anything, his face made this big snarl like he was offended at what he was reading. It turned out he just needed reading glasses.
Before. I made a Memegen meme about ten years ago comparing the sign in with G+ buttons to the classic Wikipedia Jimmy Wales begging-for-donations banners, and for many years it was one of the top 100 Memegen memes ever.
Sure, if that's what you actually paid for.
Instead, I'm saying that Coindesk is a stopped clock here (maybe not the clearest metaphor, I know) and knows it -- it's right about FTX but it's strange that they (and plenty of others) have been pumping lots of other highly suspect gambits and companies over the years without much reflection about it. We won't know without the benefit of hindsight which specific others are outright scams, but it seems like there may be quite a few.
Thanks, appreciate it! By the way, did you start at Fly recently? I seem to recall you had your own company or something like that before.
No cover on this one unless you are a U.S customer ... oh well.

My MBP 2017 was an absolute disaster. The last time they fixed the kb issue for me (3x issues with that for me) it immediately afterwards got the infamous cablegate issue (another design flaw on not giving enough tolerance for the cable to flex) on it being returned.

I have barely touched it in the last couple of years because of the unusable screen on it. I swore to never buy another Apple product, and then succumbed to buying an ipad for my daughter to support her digital art interest. Still, never again.

I am much happier on Thinkpads in Linux anyway. I would find it hard to give up the tiling manager and benefits of declaratively managing my system on NixOS.

The interesting thing is that my father swore off apple products back when they quick did an end of life with no support on something in the error of the Apple IIgs - this was after spending years with them.

I find it interesting how this has now gone full circle with me now swearing off Apple (with the exception of that one ipad).
I bought it. I own it. That’s why I demand it.
You can do a self hosted runner on arm though, even on a Raspberry Pi (if inclined), so not sure it's prohibitively expensive to a startup, could even afford a spot graviton :D

I've got to say though, I've not experience that delta in build times, even emulated on my machine.
You seem to be arguing that only apple (or google) has the ability to protect your device.

Honestly, the best protection would be the ability to control your own device, and make apple just one of many ways to help you secure it.

I would love to be able to firewall my device. To see what apps are doing and to prevent them from doing things you don't like. Then you can trust but verify.

By the way, apple does TONS of stuff behind your back - rapant telemetry, allowing and even helping with tracking, and doing its own advertising. Look at deep linking, iBeacon, and lots of other silly things.

Ask FSB and it's former head for that.
I've been at Fly.io since early summer 2020. I've had a couple of companies before that. None of them as fun as this one! :)
This kind of thing has already happened. Chinese hackers got into the Juniper VPN source code and replaced a key pair with their own. They even updated the tests so that it would pass. This went unnoticed for years.
Honestly I don't even bother with hosting it in a cloud instance. I host Bitwarden on my home network, and whenever one of my devices opens the Bitwarden browser plugin or mobile app (at home), it will automatically sync everything. From that point on you can continue using Bitwarden without it needing to connect to the server.

So on one hand, I lose the ability to sync when I'm not on my home network. On the other hand, I don't change anything in my Bitwarden server _that_ often, and if I do, I can just quickly do a sync on whatever devices and I'm good to go. With the added benefit of not opening myself up to the outside world.
I'm dreading the day my 4K "dumb" LCD TV dies. It's now basically impossible to replace.
Perhaps unpopular opinion, but the recent Elon/twitter “submit your work” idea and this ain’t far from each other.
Back in the day we laughed about software inevitably including a poor implementation of lisp, or an email client.

What we are seeing now is the inevitable convergence of tech into advertising and engineering is giving way to marketing, and we’re not building product anymore, we’re building analytics.
That is pretty silly. Your eigen library had in it everything it needed to ensure its own safety, so anything more just added slowness.

A check performed in a library, or a condition ensured in a library, is wholly as good as the same work done in the compiler. Compilers are not magic, they are just programs.
What frustrates me is that it somehow sucks all the oxygen away from e.g. Krita, which is better in all the ways that matter. And frankly most of the whole Gtk/Gnome umbrella is like that. I don't know if it's just americans not wanting to touch a European project or what, but it's just infuriating.
Apple is in the business of selling your eyes. They just also happen to sell the glasses, too.
> "This can be avoided by having the process listen on localhost, and then have the login flow redirect to localhost (including the token) on successful completion."

I think this is what the AWS Client VPN client for Ubuntu does. So AWS does have the method in their tool set somewhere, though I imagine it's owned by an entirely different team than their CLI.
Yeah, I didn’t find it compelling either.

If your conclusion is “no signal, just noise” boost the input until the signal becomes apparent. If that means writing such a massive loop that the program takes an hour to run, fine.
It feels like it's the reactions of adults that cause most of the trauma in some of these situations.

It would be a different story if she got blackmailed or something, but it seems like she was just exploring her sexuality. That's healthy, right?

What are teenagers supposed to do during a pandemic?
Because I paid for all that — paid in full - upfront - paid a lot! Maybe 2x or hell 3-5x of what it should actually cost.

So it’s my device. I want Spotify to be able to side load on my device.
Stripe verification team will not share details to the account manager, they told me that for now I can only wait, but I have lost over $5000 in advertising and product fees, but I hope Stripe executive team realizes the seriousness of the problem.

That's because you're a right wing troll, no? You're exactly the target demographic Musk is rolling out the red carpet for, so it stands to reason you're having a great time with it. This clearly doesn't refute the OP though.

Will certainly be interesting to see if there are enough of y'all willing to shell out $8/mo to have your speech boosted above the free variety to make up for the lost ad spend of the Pinochet-helicopter-meme-adverse.

"Mono-component" toner is toner that is magnetic in its own rite, so it doesn't need separate developer (iron powder) to make it magnetic. I believe the original mono-component toners had magnetite in them, but I believe now there's non-magnetic mono-component toner too.
Depending on the specifics it may be a legal requirement to disclose. FTC does not look fondly in hiding data breeches. At all.
Truly. A houseless person was explaining to me the other day how cops can essentially kidnap them whenever they want, leave all their belongings on the street, and bus them to [[nearest city]].

The cops don't care. The legal system's specifically built to protect them and it's not like someone's gonna hire a lawyer sue even if they did have a legal case to make.

I knew a few folks at this one encampment near where I live. The encampment was at the community cultural center's parking lot and the city had been trying to get rid of it forcefully but the cultural center managed to negotiate a deal that they'd have X number of months to peacefully find each member a different place. The main thing most houseless persons want is safety and that encampment was one of the few places people felt safe so there was a lot of pregnant folks and other vulnerable people. Eventually the cops came in illegally at ~5am (they'd tried to do this a few times before but activists were there to scare them away) and kicked everyone out. Many of them lost their wallets and were left with no id or documents or any way to access any benefits or even apply for a spot in a shelter (which were all full and famously shitty places anyways).

We got a few of the most vulnerable folks a few nights at motels but didn't really have a budget for it. One of the motel owners found out that the motel was paid for under a different name than the person who was staying there and they locked them out of their room and kept their stuff

Nothing you can do tbh. The people in this world that are most commonly robbed are houseless people
> the most expensive in history.

Stunning that anybody could believe this.
The problem is that bad, irresponsible, and / or wrong journalism still makes money. Newspapers rarely face consequences for their shoddy publications.
Is there not an alternative to buying an iPhone? 80% of the phone market is non iOS.
This is a very cool and important result. Here's a rough analogy to what's happening. You take two drums, and you hit one of them. Then you wait for a while. After waiting, you hook up a special kind of wire between the drums, and then quickly unhook it. Then, you wait the same amount of time again. And bizarrely, you hear the original sound coming from the other drum!

How did this happen? It seems like no wire would be capable of moving the excitation from one to the other in a clean way. But if the system is set up correctly, it's because your "drums" obey identical mathematics to a pretty interesting gravity setup. Each drum individually represents a region of space, and the two spaces are initially unconnected. The wire is a way of establishing a traversable wormhole between them. These wormholes are very unstable, so to actually send something through it is a delicate affair. But with the right kind of entanglement, you can send the excitation through, to emerge on the other side after a propagation delay. (Nothing is happening "faster than the speed of light", though, even in the gravity setup. It takes time to pass through the wormhole. It's tricky to show there's no problems with causality, but the "wire" is already messing with the ordinary story about causality, so it does all work out.)

This is a lovely example of how string theory, via AdS/CFT, can produce fascinating insights into the nature of spacetime. It's an extremely nontrivial bit of stringy math that leads to this connection between quantum mechanics and gravity. Of course, if one's prior is "string theory can never be useful for anything", it makes sense to downplay the importance of the result. I think that's a shame--AdS/CFT is an extraordinarily fascinating and powerful tool.

(I didn't know this result was coming out today, but I did talk excitedly about the possibility of this experiment earlier this week on this very website! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33735328 )
I've always said it as "latin-ex" and "latin-exes", but I could just be using it wrong.
Lol. Libraries are huge buyers of books and drive demand.

Publishing wouldn’t exist without libraries. Something like 90% of book retail space has vaporized, and the ruthless consolidation makes the top 50 authors utterly dominate sales.
The waste toner that's not transferred to the paper and cleaned off by the cleaning blade, needs to go somewhere in the cartridge too.

Even if it did get debris thats no excuse. I get debris and crap all the time in the 2012 macbook, just takes a second to blow out versus ruining the laptop.
This is cool, though its a shame how reduced Safari's extension interface is.

Arc appears to take this to the next level and makes all tabs, spaces, windows, notes, easels, web search, and commands available to the command palette shortcut that conventionally opens a new tab elsewhere, Ctrl-T/Cmd-T. I think this is definitely the next step in browser UI, but this extension is probably how far Safari will let you go until they implement it themselves.
Spotify is 100% right about Apple's fees being extortionate. On the other hand, Elon is such a loathsome human being that I can't respect anyone signal-boosting him. Stop giving him attention, he is absolutely addicted to it.
How much time do you spend on high dopamine activities each day?

High dopamine activities are those that are engineered to pique and hold your interest. Video games, tv, social media, news aggregators, porn, etc.

Our brains are designed to prioritize the most interesting stuff. Back on the Serengeti, that made sense. There wasn’t much novelty, so when you found some, your hardware wanted to ensure that you were able to focus on it long enough to grok it. Will it hurt you? Can you eat it?

Nowadays novelty is ubiquitous. Interesting stuff is everywhere! Learning new things can be pretty interesting, but it will never be as interesting as stuff that’s literally engineered to be interesting.

The solution is to simply (ha!) remove those more interesting but less rewarding options from the equation.

You don’t have to believe me—it’s an easy hypothesis to test. Just quit ALL high dopamine activities, cold turkey, right now. Zero exceptions. In my experience, those relatively boring tasks become attractive again within mere minutes of dogged abstinence from high-dopamine activities.
This is good. Chrome is the new IE. we are repeating history with Google now controlling the web. Except no one seems to care cos it’s not Microsoft.
Reporters are low paid people who are expected to pump large amounts of content very quickly. They also need to report it in a way that other people with no domain knowledge will find it interesting and feel like understand the story. If they can’t do that, someone else will do and get all the views.

It’s not an excuse for the low quality, just an expected outcome IMHO.
So if some random person wants to force himself into your family and come live in your home, you'll allow it?
Thanks! I heard about this book a few times on HN. It is on the shortlist after nand2tetris.
There’s been a lot of discussion about the challenges companies in this space are having.

I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that there are two distinct markets, with almost zero overlap, and they are at odds with each other.

You can’t serve both markets at the same time, you can’t succeed without the credibility of one, but the only way to profitability and sustainability lies with the other.

This just isn’t a VC-compatible industry. Full stop.
I mean if you're young enough to have done something stupid like this when given unsupervised access to the internet you know that there's nothing you can do to prevent it except try to impart some good internet hygiene that they probably won't listen to anyway because they're 13 and humans are fantastically bad at learning from other people's mistakes -- "nice cautionary tale but this is different."

Sheltering doesn't work because it just postpones the naivete; it's called experience because you have to experience it. Plus it just makes your kids hate you, not trust your advice, and worse not come to you for help.

Your job as a parent isn't to devise some system to make it impossible for your kids to do stupid things, yes even serious ones like this, your job is to try as best you can to help them understand and choose to not do stupid things and, when they do and need an adult, help them deal with the consequences.

I mean if anything what I did at that age was worse, I knew the guys I was talking to were way older and still exchanged spicy photos. Yeah yeah something something daddy issues but it's true. At that age we crave male attention and validation, especially from older men, like a dried out sponge and when we don't get it or enough from dad we find it other places and I'm so sure that's what happened here. I didn't know there was anything wrong with the photos I was sending, I was just following the attention and praise and knew they liked them.
Not to mention that his kimchi spread origin story is based on an arbitrage.

How could it be possible for an arbitrageur to not know the difference between entity A and entity B?

P&L up/downs and internal funds transfers are an essential part of running that kind of business. You can't sell something in Asia and simultaneously buy it in the US without thinking carefully about how you finance your trading activity.
Using the logic of the herd here those developers shouldn’t target iOS. It’s their choice after all. /s
I suspected that's what the article intended, but it read as somewhat scientifically illiterate as it referred to "nitrogen" (N2) when they were really thinking nitrogen compounds.
First, they're far from universally out of fashion — attitudes change unevenly and there's always backlash, and that matters a lot when the attitude shifts are disproportionately driven by college-educated, affluent parents but the crime is not being committed by their children.

Second, and more importantly, there's a wicked lag here — gun violence is predominantly a young man's crime so what parents are doing now isn't the question as much as how things were a couple decades ago. Suicide rates peak later, so you might have the question of how, say, many middle-aged white man (the peak demographic) will handle mid-life career or marriage failures based on the values they were raised with (for a lot of us, it was that you're a good man if you earn a solid income so your wife can stay home and your kids want for nothing. Want to guess what's not the case for entirely too many people?).

They are bored so go ahead and send pictures to a pedophile? What?
"Stop being weird looking and small. Ah there you go, problem fixed."

The only thing you can teach a bullied child to do is to fight back. They will lose the fight but the bully will usually move on to an easier target.
> Emacs has had a server program since ages. You can run Emacs as a server, for example on a remote host, or on your local machine and when you start a GUI or non-GUI Emacs, start in client mode, to connect to the Emacs server.

I know about that, but AFAIK running Emacs server and client on different machines isn't really supported? Like all Emacs client is doing is executing some Elisp on the Emacs server to tell it to spawn a new frame the same way you can from a regular Emacs instance (that is, the frame spawns on the remote, not locally).

Regardless IMO just using TRAMP and just installing an LSP server on the remote is the simpler and lighter weight solution. The big thing is, I don't want to have to set anything up on the remote. An LSP server that can be easily installed by the system package manager with no further configuration is okay, I deal with that. Anything more, nah.

> With Emacs one does not have to start multiple instances to get things done, but does everything out of the same instance.

Yes, this is a tradeoff, and me being more comfortable with that workflow is one of the reasons I use Emacs. In fact, if so desired, you can still launch multiple instances for different things; me being able to fine tune my workflows instead of my tools dictating them is the big draw of Emacs for me.
I think it's inevitable in the long run, the question is just whether those breakthroughs come too late for Meta (my guess is they will). The salient point is that given enough time, hardware limitations won't be an obstacle to a metaverse-like something.
> It is not fun having to type a 30+ character password consisting uppercase+lowercase letters, numbers and special characters on a mobile device.

I find that it's much faster to type an all lowercase password that's a bit longer to get the same strength.
Always re-writing your codebase using the newest JS framework without falling behind.
As an aside, it occurs to me that if I did have an iPhone, in-so much as Apple is able to realistically control, I'm not allowed to watch porn or download torrents on my own damn device. Obviously that's not broadly true because of the web and esoteric workarounds, but because the one true app store is the only one, and Apple is the arbiter of what goes in there, I would have Ned Flanders staring in my window at all times. The main difference on Android for these specific cases, is that the Play store doesn't ban torrent clients, and I can install any apk I want. The OS enforces a certain amount of security granularity, and I hope that improves, but I'm not subject to Google's opinion if I don't want to be. Does this not seem ridiculous to people who go with iOS?

Edit: To be clear, I'm not complaining about my real constraints, because I've already and always voted with my wallet and not bought an iPhone. They're very nice hardware though.
You're free to buy an Android device if Apple devices don't suit your needs.

And if you don't want to pay the fee required to sell in this specific appstore, make it a website.

After all, you don't get to sell your Etsy products in the shelves of local supermarkets for free either.
In your example, there is still $20 in the economy after Bob lends Charlie $20. Alice has $20. She loans it to Bob. Alice has $20 in assets (the loan), Bob has $20 in assets (the money) and $20 in liabilities (the loan). The net amount is still $20. If Bob loans Charlie his $20, the net is still $20.

Banks do create money via lending, but the money creation comes from the interest charged. For example, if Bob lends Charlie $20 for a year and charges 10% interest to Charlie, he'll have $22 after one year. Where did the $2 come from?
> Essentially I was trying to find out why I procrastinate, beyond "it's just the ADHD lol"

Along this vein, I think the internet (Reddit especially) has been spreading an idea that "ADHD explains everything" in recent years. Every year I feel like I see more and more people self-diagnose with ADHD and then stop looking further for any explanation for their psychological situation. In some cases, people seem to get worse after receiving the ADHD diagnosis and medication and then hyperfocusing on their distractions even harder. From my position I see a lot of people with anxiety issues, perfectionism problems, or even textbook depression becoming convinced that ADHD is the explanation for everything in their life. Not all ADHD patients, mind you, but largely the recent influx of people who start with self-diagnosis via internet memes and TikTok (mis)info about ADHD.
