There's an instinct for pre-emptive attacks on minority opinions from people who have gone with the crowd and experience some cognitive dissonance over it. There are a lot of people who think that they should be using the GIMP (for whatever reason), but of course found it easier to do what everyone else was doing, and have to justify that by attacking the software and the people who use it.

The reason definitely isn't because Photoshop is a great piece of software with a logical UI, because it's damn near a random UI filled with aging cruft, advertisements, and bizarre flows for doing simple things. Any affection for Photoshop is Stockholm Syndrome from spending 8 hours a day in it and getting periodic dopamine hits from puzzling out a riddle of how to do something in it that seemed like it would be simple.

If the GIMP had proper color management (and better non-destructive editing), I'd never touch Photoshop. That's the beauty of free software, though. Once that stuff is finalized and in, we'll have it forever. See, GIMP doesn't have the means to steal colors from work you've already done, and you don't have to rent it.
You can, but that would be inconceivable.
I am confused why you think that Gimp somehow magically used all slots for image software development.

It is not like it is extremely well funded or otherwise resource consuming.

My girlfriend is working on her CPA and is fascinated with forensic accounting to the point where she thinks I should do it, because of the little things I notice.

In an interview the other week, SBF was asked what he might do differently given the chance.

"More careful accounting".

Girlfriend: "Huh. Just a casual phrase. But not "more accurate/better" accounting, but "more careful"."
when you have an employee leave your company can you reroll or disable all their work account passwords in keepass? (no; this is good for the user and not useful for the org, but that’s the use case.)
I can see it clearly now - the next crypto crash rolling around like clockwork. Except this time it’ll be a speed run through four centuries of debtors law in which the cryptobros realize that the reason for interest rates isn’t the transaction cost or the paperwork but the enforcement arm to get people to complete the whole transaction through to the end.

I think it’ll come in two phases: first they’ll come around to the idea of debtor’s prisons and demand the governments of the world bring them back. Then when they’re all in the prisons, they’ll lead a movement to abolish them (again) completing the circle of “why bother?”

In the end we’ll be left with a saturated market of repo companies picking up the pieces for pennies on the dollar.

I think with Apple this ship is slowly sailing, and the tracking will soon be just as bad as Google.
There's certainly a portion of the people who were annoyed at Crypto bros constantly posting about how they just made their third billion (on paper) and you're so dumb for not putting everything in crypto and hodl forever. It's hard to feel bad when those guys get wiped out. Everybody is a genius in a bull market. So many people who think they are God's gift to money management who were basically just leveraged to the max and the only real strategy was "line goes up".

I never said it was perfect, but care as it’s expressed in the world never is. There is always a vocal majority who cut down and even a vocal minority who actively work to ruin what is good, but care is like the sun: no matter what it’s always out there helping things grow.
Yup, 100% this. My own feelings on crypto notwithstanding (the whole thing is a fraud/built on hype); the crypto community seems to have pretty much agreed on this being a case of straight fraud. It’s only the tangential and traditional financial community (and some journalists) who are painting this as a “well-meaning company/crypto genius who made a mistake”.
Beware that some printers come with cartridges that are the same size as refills but contain less ink/toner (or are at least programmed to tell the printer they have less)
That's true, but there's also a minimum limit. Put the flux transitions too close to each other and they'll disappear (the iron in the middle will reorient).

Also it's not just clock timing that is a problem, the differential amplifier circuit used is a feedback thing. If it doesn't get input for long enough, it will start amplifying noise in the environment (devices with motors have a LOT of noise) and generate false pulses with essentially random timings. This was the source of "weak sectors" used in copy protection: you'd use special hardware to essentially erase a region in the middle of the sector, and the drive would report a bunch of 1's anyway, but never the same bits twice. Consumer drives couldn't reproduce that behavior, they only knew how to write "correct" bit patterns with clock bits.

In practice, the media of the time could handle flux transitions as close as 4us (on a 300RPM drive) or as far apart as ~12 (though only Apple was that brave, because they had a self-clocking circuit, other vendors stuck to 8us. MFM encodings would soon push that back up to 12, and eventually the "HD" encodings would double the clock rate to 2-6us (but they didn't use the extra time otherwise, RLL was only ever deployed on fixed media).

Some restrictions might be appropriate, but a lot of people don't have the savings to buy even a small house and need inexpensive places to rent, so more in-law apartments in cities would help a lot.
Your conclusion doesn't follow from your premise - I am not that sympathetic to the losses of the crypteau-riche but that doesn't mean I endorse fraudsters. Some of my amusement stems from the fact that a certain kind of crypto evangelist is into it because they hate government, taxes, and central banking, but suddenly wants state authorities to enforce their property rights.

Maybe some rugged John Galt type will bypass all the legal flim-flam and just go after the FTX executives personally. That would be a lot more cyberpunk than writing seething letters to the SEC about the predictable failure of another get-rich-quick scheme.
At which point they will be so complicated, and each browser will be subtly different, that we will invent yet another abstraction layer. Devs will stubbornly only target it, and we will add more and more features until....
Yes, this "truthfulness" problem is the real problem with all these "generative search" products.

Sure, I'm more asking about the economics than doubting the ability to handle the load. If the average page has a lifetime hosting/serving cost of $0.20, then great, you're making a tidy profit. But even if that is the average, if there's one page that incurs $100, $1,000... of serving costs, it will be painful to contemplate.
Ah I didn't realize that. I think I have a browser extension that prevents this. I agree that's not "free"
What amazes me about FTX is the speed and severity of the collapse. Never seen anything like it. The website and app simply disappeared overnight. The never sent statements via email or postal mail. If you had any money in the only proof you have some transactional emails and lines in the statements from the banks which you used to fund your FTX account.

It really is remarkable. I would think the hardest part about getting indictments at this point is collecting enough information to actually present to… anyone.

If you don't have physical or digital copies of statements, transactions, and account numbers and the company you are dealing with just comes up with some bogus, "We were hacked, it's all gone, we are now bankrupt, goodbye," and then proceeds to delete their website and disconnect their phone how do you prove that you even have a claim?

Ramon Magsaysay Awardee: Journalist Ravish Kumar quits NDTV
Since 2014, Narendra Modi government were mounting consistent pressure to suppress the voice of fearless journalist Ravish Kumar.

Today, after acquisition of NDTV by top 10 billionaire Gautam Adani, Ravish Kumar handed his resignation and bid adieu to NDTV.

NDTV was the only India-based TV channel that raised issues of common people under Modi regime. This decision gives complete TV medium control in hands of Narendra Modi government.

Sad day for democracy! Next target of Indian government is going to be social media sites like Twitter and YouTube where independent journalists are voicing their opinion about the government.
And with Apple you are not the product? You're being tracked and shown ads on Apple devices too, it's just that you have even less control and Apple has a "worked" on their image in that regard.
This article, while probably true an accurate, seems designed to make SBF the fall guy by portraying him as a uniquely bad actor in the crypto space. In reality, the crypto space is full of fraud that is probably criminal and he is just the latest example. That doesn't excuse his behavior and he should probably go to prison for this but it would be a shame if people get taken in by thinking of him as just a bad apple.
And here I am still just using KeePass.

I feel like passwords can be way too sensitive to entrust to a third party. Even if you can verify that it is secure, you could still find yourself in a jam if their service goes down or is otherwise inaccessible.

You don't have to worry about any of this with a KeePass database. You just have to deal with the very mild inconvenience of keeping your database synchronized across devices.
I'm shocked (and a bit upset) we aren't taking the mid-way step and treating browser tabs as comparable to apps in DE taskbars.
SBF's First Interview Since the FTX Collapse
Absolutely not suggesting that adult bullies do not exist, so agreed.
Is this also a product of the patriarchy?
Simple, but not easy.
Wouldn't this be easily bypassed by, say, picking up a hair on a street and fabricating the token?

If so, at least bad actors won't have the incentive to cut off your finger or pull an eye out as with the other biometric authentication options :')
I would argue that trying to force VR on consumers by over-promising it before it has a 'killer-app' is harmful to VR as a technology, and I think that VR is a potentially very important technology. However I can't argue against the Zuck giving Carmack 20 billion dollars to build awesome and affordable toys that I love using, especially when it has the potential to scare off his stockholders and make him even more of a laughing stock. I say it is a wash.
Guilt by association is a logical fallacy. That is not a good argument.

The community you love has done damage to the society you depend on. I have no viciousness towards any one of them except where they insist on remaking society in their image to the detriment of all others.

Ignorance through force of law would apply if the history were factual. But it's not. Preventing bad ideas from being taught is the opposite of codifying ignorance.
That's only public contributions though. The 503c corps are where the real money is.
This problem comes from schools being completely artificial environments. In human societies before the Prussian model, children were around adults most of the time and they learned to emulate adult behavior. Schools, with high child to adult ratios, are Lord of the Flies barely concealed with a thin layer of gilding to fool the on-lookers.
To me, writing UIs in code is one of the more terrible ideas to come out of modern iOS development.
> it's not reason to rejoice when thieves do scam people (including a canadian teachers pension funds' money).

I rejoice in that I would hope it deters future pension funds from investing in crypto. It’s a downright idiotic decision given the current sphere of hype-inflation that can balloon and burst on a whim.

Just look at the effect a single tweet from musk had on Doge.
How does it work for passwords which you shared with your team on their enterprise plan?

I think you misspelled "the media" there. Everyone I know in the actual traditional financial community thinks the guy is a fraud who scammed his customers.
From what I read, one NYT reporter covered SBF and did a human-interest gloss on him that many found offensive in retrospect. But even that article had statements from detractors and critics. Who is the mythical person that was taken in by the NYT on this one?

This is a valid argument for an entrenched monopoly, but DoorDash already has lots of big, powerful competitors (e.g. Uber). Are you suggesting they’re all involved in a price-fixing racket?

That’s possible, of course, but I don’t think it’s the most plausible hypothesis without more evidence.
Notes and intent.
Plenty go work in Big Tech for a bit to hang out, or try a startup, or fiddle around with trading strategies on their own time.
Eh, he stole from rich people. He's going to jail. It's not like he only ripped off a bunch of retail investors.
I bought a Canon ImageClass MF210 for $99 many years ago and it works flawlessly (as long as you don't need to print color). It never forces me to change the toner (I'm merely forced to swap it out when the print starts getting to faint). It also happily accepts cheap, knock off toner replacement cartridges without any sort of modification.
That's gotta be a diceware option, right?
Not really what I'm saying -- it seems that there was fraud here. But it's a bit strange to see this from Coindesk, which has undoubtedly reported in glowing terms about plenty of other companies doing fraud in this space.
I know a guy who does printer support for biiiig (1 ton, length of the room, $100k+ easily) printers.

He takes stacks of paper. Running a 500 page ream through is a test. If it is something like streaking, which requires hunting down and cleaning up toner leaks and accumulations, he can run many many tests...

Feel not guilt for actual valid use.
Well then at least those accounts that are "less important" are probably not worse off in a password manager than sharing one password, are they?
>desegregation was actually bad

Yes, preventing freedom of association is actually bad.

But, of course, your goal is to force people with legitimate preferences for not associating with other groups of people to do your bidding.

And because of that you deserve and will get the boot.
I had not seen it. This comment just linked me too it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33809968

Unfortunately in my opinion he is not a trustworthy source at all. He lies in that same interview. His own PAC is left. His mom helped found and run another left super PAC.

Seems like the family heavily supports one side. I think he has plenty of reason to lie to help out that side.

He should have receipts for those donations or at least evidence of them happening. That would at least give some credence to his claim.

Probably not the angle parent was going for, but CoinDesk is owned by Digital Currency Group, who had significant exposure to this mess (and their Genesis trading arm appears to be currently evaluating bankruptcy), so in some sense CoinDesk precipitating FTX's collapse had severe effects on their own situation.
I'm still finding passwords in Bitwarden to old accounts that have `&amp;` in them. Thanks, LastPass!
Ridiculous take. Absolutely zero kudos because it was obvious to everyone that this was the most likely outcome way back in August. Back in August the company issued a bullshit statement that they'd ruled out that the intruder accessed customer data. Now they are saying they did lose customer data.
> We foolishly thought that we would naturally be protected from any layoffs, being a team that reduced costs of any team we partnered with. In retrospect, that was a little naive. A team that reduces costs of other teams is not on anyone’s critical path.

> The whole Probability division was laid off as a cost-cutting measure. I have no explanation for how this was justified and I note that if the company were actually serious about cost-cutting, they would have grown our team, not destroyed it.

It does sound naive, but it's also possible that this is plain wrong. Just because your team results in some cost cutting does not mean that your team is generating enough cost savings to justify 50 headcount. I'm sure there are teams at meta with very large / existential cost cutting needs, and it doesn't sound like any one of them was relying critically on your team for enough of their cost cutting objectives for them to make a case to keep this investment going.
Any lawyer worth their salt would tell their client to not talk to the press. There's literally no upside and unlimited downside.
You could also have your spouse do 5 minutes of research and not have them put your money at a bank that was always clearly a scam.

There's trustworthy crypto banks, they just don't offer interest. If you think you need interest on your crypto you've already lost the plot somewhere. Maybe it was when you took financial advice from a super model and a football player.

The thing that's not trustworthy is the financial industry. Crypto is just their latest tool. Before it was mortgage backed securities, and before that penny stocks.
Well yeah, that is not a great plan, but the overall goal is to allow your body to have 8 hours of sleep.
None of what he says makes sense, but it's not because he's dumb. He's clearly trying to go for an ignorance and negligence defense to avoid being accountable for fraud and theft. There's no way he's as dumb as he's pretending though. I don't have half the credentials he does, but it's easy for me to understand (1) how not to take client funds (2) how not to overleverage funds such that a tweet can make $8 billion disappear.
PWAs on iOS have certain limitations. I am not sure if Spotify could fully recreate their app. Even if they could, it isn't really the easiest thing for the average person. Everybody knows how to install an app. How many people know how to install a PWA on their phone?

Meaning you open up notepad and you type in "okay I need to find x" put that on your other screen or put your browser in a window so you could see the notepad window. You are just looking for that one thing to change the x into a word or a sentence. Once you have that thing then go back and do whatever you were doing.
My work provides me with a 1Password subscription (for both work personal use) that I take advantage of that is pretty good. I think they only require you to reauthenticate with your master password once every two weeks or something. I use a PIN, biometrics, or my Apple Watch to unlock it when it timeouts in between that two week period, and I've had no problems syncing between several of my devices.

Love it or (more likely) hate it, the DMCA has anti-circumvention provisions in it, and breaking out of a sandbox sounds like it matches that.

> Are you saying Google should publish exploits of Variston's systems? There's kind of a "two wrongs" problem there; such information would likely require illegal hacking ("accessing a computer system without permission") to discover.

I don't think there's actually any problems here, as long as the "publish" portion is adhered to. Making sure they don't break the law in finding those exploits would be the hard part though, as you note.

This is a really good idea. Presumably you'd keep the memory per-person.
I mean sure SBF stole, but what he stole was basically the modern equivalent of Monopoly Money. So unlike with the Madoff scam, it's tough to feel any sympathy for SBF's "victims" here since 100% of them were greedy grifters who were voluntarily participating in an obvious pump-and-dump scam. Hopefully SBF will eventually go to prison for wire fraud or something but the impact of his crimes was pretty minor in the grand scheme of things.
In some lines of work, it is only possible to get hired by signing a non-compete. As long as such garden-leave practice is industry-standard, it may not be a career problem.

Furthermore, if you're in ambitious-mode, you can take that entire year to get better at your discipline of choice, paid for by your "ex"-employer.

How so? I think their strides in fields like differential privacy show how willing they are to protect their end users.
> You just have to deal with the very mild inconvenience of keeping your database synchronized across devices.

Which is pretty easy with SyncThing. Other services like Dropbox are also fine if you have a sufficiently high entropy password. The danger isn't in the "online", but a third party being able to decrypt your passwords.
Apple’s non-hardware expenses aren’t limited to the distribution platform… They make the OS, the libraries, the APIs, the development tools and continue to maintain those even after the hardware is sold… Why should third parties get to free ride on that? I don’t see why we should compel software authors to add hooks and features and provide tools for non-paying third parties.
