Interesting. I skipped forward through the brother's story throughout, ignoring the rest.

Personal interest, mostly. In any case I've had a few concussions - car accident, soccer collision, and most recently a motorcycle accident.

I'm surrounded by people who are quite aware of traumatic brain injuries so I always had support and have mostly recovered.

The interesting thing are the impulses you get. The first one had me feeling quite suicidal in periods, and so I got rid of the things I would obsess over as tools to do that.

The last one resulted in complete memory loss over the incident. I simply cannot recall it. This is somewhat fascinating to me because I have (or had) an incredible memory. I can still recall things from before quite well - my VIN, 2^64, my friends' license plates - but my working memory appears to have deteriorated significantly from the period immediate pre-accident. Chase's 8 number 2FA code now causes me to reinspect 100% of the times rather than look at once and type, and sometimes I have to do that for 6 number 2FA.

But the loss of self in those bad periods is fairly wild. You can't act otherwise because your conscious evaluation of reality is wrong.

I find the suicide thing very interesting. I wonder if it has a similar metastructure to Programmed Cell Death in humans.

In any case, I find these mental health stories quite interesting because awareness of the condition does allow you some CBT-style self intervention.
Germany has WAY more difficult driving licensing standards than the US.

My high school English teacher father used to ironically remark about how students who failed his class repeatedly (often for all four years) somehow always managed to pass the drivers license test. Funny that.

Your calculation also neglects the cost of auto accidents in terms of wasted life. There will be an accident on I-5 between San Diego and Los Angeles every single day--generally multiple. When that happens, an enormous number of people wind up sitting in their cars for an extended period of time. That accident may not have actively killed someone, but it caused many thousands of people to waste an hour+ of their life. If a thousand people waste an hour every day, that's one "dead" year of human life every 9 days. And that multiplies across the entire city and then across every city. The cost of automotive fender benders and the time they waste exceeds the "death toll" of driving by quite a lot.

Humans suck at driving. It's a boring, repetitive task with sudden moments of sheer terror. As long as everything goes "normally", it's okay. When something unusual happens when driving, most outcomes are random. The lack of deaths and injuries due to driving is more due to automotive, traffic and safety engineering than it is due to active crisis decision making by human drivers.
I totally side with you. But what do you expect? That some senior manager admits he did a mistake? This will never happen. Too many times did I witness similar situations.

The only thing possible would be something like "reevaluating the situation due to new informations" or an otherwise heroic element, that shows how important CISO is will change the situation. This must come from outside channels: "The prophet has no honor - or at least, little - in his own country" ;)
You’re right I’m assuming my account was breached and I’m resetting my passwords.I already started noticing hack attempts (e.g. reset password attempts) this week, so that indicates it’s likely to have been breached.

I used lastpass reluctantly, knowing the risk but also knowing it was better than re-using passwords.

> a manager who worked as a developer for 3 years some 10-15 years ago is not in a better position to estimate the work than an actual developer with the same 10-15 years of experience. But they think they are.

Why do you assume this is the case here?

> I doubt it. What I've seen is corner cutting get called efficiency only for the system to devolve over time.

Again, "doubt" is not evidence to contrary. If you believe I'm making things up, then there is no longer any basis for a discussion.

I think you're arguing in bad faith. I therefore will not respond to your threads any longer. Have a good day.
Isn’t math just manmade abstractions as well? I’m not saying they’re equally hard (I think maths is harder too), but you seem to be overly simplifying programming, under the assumption that the system you are working with and building on is actually well designed, rather than what is actually more likely (a munge of SOME clean design with many layers of hacks on top).

I think Maths is harder because the abstractions are higher level, have less intuitive bases, the feedback loop is longer and doesn’t have robust testing. I don’t think the abstractions themselves are that much harder in general, but getting an intuition and doing anything useful (correctly) at a really high level of abstraction is quite difficult.
The alternative to a password manager is to set all your passwords the same then that master password gets leaked.
Not only that, in the future I'm more likely to assume this judge is acting in good faith in the middle of other "controversies". Recusing oneself as a judge is the ethical thing to do.

> When I'm out I'm typically trying to accomplish a task and have no desire for random strangers to talk to me.

Depends on the context. I've heard quotes from friends like yours and then showed them things that they'd deem impossible, also impossible by me. The truth is not a lot of people have a lot of experiences on talking to strangers because it's not in their culture.

In my experience in Dutch trains: yes, most people are interested in a conversation. It really depends on how you bring it. Usually my conversations start when I see a person making themselves smaller and I tell them "oh, you don't have to make yourself smaller, take all the space you want." "Thank you, but it's fine" "Weird isn't it how that happens?" If they're open for a conversation, they'll entertain the thought. I do this on autopilot, because I believe people should express themselves how they want to, I dislike it that they're making themselves smaller.

In any case, there's a big chance you'll be skeptical, don't really believe it etc. Go up to 30 people, give them a compliment that you genuinely believe and then ask yourself whether the aggregate was the reaction you expected. Cool, now go up to 30 more people and after the compliment lead with an observation or a question. Ask yourself how many of them stayed for a conversation.

I do stuff like this, because more people should give compliments to others. Most people appreciate it, some stop for a conversation (this is the street at 2 PM). Some people look at me if I came from an insane asylum and I get the sense they're shaming me non-verbally by looking really weird at me. It's funny to see their beliefs imposed on me as I know something they don't: most like it. And for as far as people have done that stuff to me: I like to too.

The alternative is:

- Password re-use

- Formulaic passwords

- Simple passwords that are easy to type on a phone

That are easily crackable

Or performing password recovery every time you want to login.

Tell HN: Everyone should have a holiday dinner this year
I just wanted to let any HN users who are alone for the holidays - maybe even without a place to stay - that I want to make sure you have a good meal in your stomach tomorrow night and that you know that there are others who do care.

HN has been an incredible resource for me. I have met friends, cofounders, and business partners on this site. My intellectual curiousity has been somewhat sated and my social circle made richer by this site’s very existence. I myself have gone through tough times and spent multiple holiday seasons on the street. I want you to know there are people out there who care about you and believe in you.

If you need food to celebrate the holidays (or another resource, such as housing help for the night) please email me at the address in my bio. You may remain as anonymous as you wish, so long as I have enough information to get you the assistance you desire.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
The average person, when not allowed to use a convenient password manager, will either use the same password for every site or come up with a predictable pattern. Encouraging a password manager helps make sure they don't get destroyed completely when a blog they signed up on 5 years ago is hacked.

This is partly because so many things want an account now. I have over 500 passwords saved, it would be straight up impossible to remember unique strings for each site.
It's always hard, which is why sarcasm just isn't a good fit for text-only forums like HN. Too many of the cues that reveal sarcasm as sarcasm are lost.

Employee laid off by Meta says he got a package from the company marked 'leaver'
I use a mental algorithm that generates a unique password for each site. It's easy to remember the algorithm and I get a complex unique password for every site. I don't think a password existing outside of your head makes sense.

(though some sites force unique passwords/and password changes, which can be annoying as I have to remember to bump a value mentally for how many times i've been forced to do it, luckily for the most part it's not an issue)
If one site gets breached/exposed, your memorized username/password combination used all across the internet is now immediately available to the bad actors and you might not even know or remember everywhere it was used. Having a unique password for each site is the main advantage of a password manager to mitigate the damage in this case (to just the 1 site that was breached). Talking about your vault/passwords and "single basket" being obtained is relevant when using a password manager, especially with articles/news like this but just a different attack vector.
An argument against whoop or any niche bands:

I went abroad for a semester to a country where getting stuff mailed was a PITA. Turns out I lost my whoop charger in my quarantine hotel. Support sent a new charger but to actually mail it was close to impossible.

Now I use an Apple Watch. If I lose the charger basically any city on Earth has a store selling apple products (doesn't have to be a real Apple Store) and I get can a new charger in the same day.

I don't understand the hype around Rolex. Everyone has the same model just like every one has a Canadian goose jacket an a G wagon.

There are so many more beautiful and mechanically impressive Swiss watches than Rolex. I would much prefer a watch that not every nuvorich individual thinks he needs to own. I personally would not want to be seen wearing a Rolex here in Switzerland.

Not only is this not remotely a conspiracy theory, its something that needs to be taken incredibly seriously.
I'm on the opposite side: I don't understand how a password manager can be compromised. Your passwords are encrypted and decrypted OFFLINE, on your device. You only ever send the ENCRYPTED vault. Your key never transits. How is that complicated?

And how did LastPass fuck this up anyway?
Whoops! I meant Twitter. I’m doing that a lot lately. :/
Yeah, the same can apply to software too!

I would love to see the barrier to entry for all trades significantly drop, and snobbery decrease worldwide. Mostly I just hope that some better intelligence will put us in our place.
There are all kinds of problems with optionality not being properly represented in the data. At a C level, you really want a tagged union, and preferably you're using a higher level language that has first-class algebraic data types (which end up looking just like tagged unions, tagged pointers, or NaN-boxed values at the hardware level).

We had one bespoke protocol for communicating between the order management system (conceptually a high-reliability database that holds order state and communicates with components connected to exchanges) and the trading engines (higher code churn rate, and can recover order state from the order management systems if they need to be restarted, so less critical). When we created a second version of the order management system, we created a wholly new bespoke messaging protocol where every field was optional with a default value, and had an unfortunate feature that if one side set a field in a message to the default for that data type, the messaging layer would size-optimize the messages by removing that field. Combined with encoding order amendments as messages where all of the unchanged fields were removed, it meant that if an order ever had a field amended to a default value, the other side of the communication would interpret it as no change, and would acknowledge the message but not amend the value.

It wasn't a big deal for a lot of the order paremeters that got thrown into a single customization string, since it probably wasn't actually possible to amend on order to become completely vanilla (upstream systems tacked on some customizations between receiving the order from the customer and presenting the order to the OMS).

However, amending a price to zero would result in this space-saving optimization, and the trading engine would interpret it as no change in price. The API did have separate calls for getting a field value (which would transparently return the default value for missing fields) and for checking if a value was actually specified. Though, due to the "optimization" in the messaging layer, checking of a value was specified was really just a check if the returned value was equal to the default value.

It’s more that the boat took on a ton of water, but now it’s back to pretty much normal levels the bilge pump can cope with.

The info LastPass and most other password managers I'd use have is useless even someone got it... sure they might get my email and what sites I stored passwords for, but the passwords themselves are not just sitting there in plain text or decreeable format able to be used.

You and me both. With the exception of not having a real desktop, as that was popularized by the Mac (and later beautifully copied by Win9x), 3.x is favourite Windows UI by a long shot. It's just so clean, and professional looking. And it just screams "productivity" to me, for some reason.

>Cold air is denser. Pushing it out of the way saps more energy

ICE mpg tends to drop in cold weather, but this isn’t why. It’s usually because it takes longer to reach optimal operating temp or due to changes in fuel composition. Cold air can produce more drag but that problem exists irrespective of ICE or EV.

The pumping efficiency is unaffected as any losses on the exhaust side will be offset by increased pressure on the intake side.
This is all intentional, calculated, and essential to their business model. Directing sales staff to be rude to customers is a well-established tactic for status symbol items.

> I feel like the general societal trend is more in the direction of talking to stranger becoming less socially acceptable

I agree with this.

> not to mention to mention that is already very unacceptable in many countries and would be seen at outright weird.

You're missing the fact that such weirdness will be overlooked if you have fun/humor, good looks or positivity to bring, or a shared perspective on the world. Two people told me as much when we were talking about psychedelics. They were like "this is weird but we're talking about really cool stuff." We even exchanged numbers.

People can change their opinion on this quite rapidly. And some can't.

> I find it odd that nearly no one mentioned the issue that some people don't want to be talked to.

People can just say they don't want to be talked to. That's how you "figure it out". If they can't, at some point the conversation becomes so boring, it'll die a natural death.

I live in Portland and there's a "PDX Startups" Slack community here that grew out of a similarly-named #pdxtech channel on IRC. I assume other midsized cities would be similar.

That’s only a warm climate thing. Plumbing (of the associated washing machine) that’s prone to freezing is unlikely to be in the garage in cooler climates.

Because it is better than the alternative.

Pick two:

(1) memorizable passwords
(2) bruteforce-resistant passwords
(3) account-unique passwords.

The best tradeoff for me is (2)+(3) sacrificing (1), so I use a local password manager (named 'pass'). That said, I would never trust a 3rd party like LastPass.
I expect that’s true over a full tank of gas but not when e.g. only 20 miles are left.
For example, I am old and can't remember sh-t. I can only remember one master password, and I've already forgotten it twice. Now have it backed up on a piece of paper. Looking forward for a day when I forget where I put that piece of paper ...
I love the bust of Nefertiti. Not just for what it is, but for how it shows how fucking ridiculous it is when researchers detect pigment on marble statues and then restore them with absurd flat pastels like a grade schooler in MS Paint.

Quotes aren’t valid around CSS properties. How about brackets?

I'm sure LastPass setting the delete account to {display: none} was coincidental
I see, you left this out of your original post and it would have had me reply entirely different. This certainly can work for you and makes sense, expecting everyone to do this instead of using a tool to do this is unrealistic IMO. Everyone thinks about things differently and many people "dont care" about security and just want a password that works.
According to their security notice from a couple days ago, they have "fully-encrypted sensitive fields such as website usernames and passwords, secure notes, and form-filled data."

So, according to them, they encrypt the other fields. I suppose the website field is unencrypted to enable autodetection or something like that.
I assumed that the hackers have the encrypted vaults. Is it known that that they have unencrypted password data?
A lot of people here seem to be confused about what a breach of LastPass would actually mean. They should look into how LastPass actually works. Spoiler alert - they don't actually have your passwords, and anyone who hacked them and took all their data would not have your passwords either.
Doesn't this assume the passwords aren't hashed and salted?
Aye, I was aware. It should have been in quotes or attributed.
As a person who lives in Texas and has for a while, it’s not nearly as bad as last time. It’s been below freezing for about two days and there was virtually no snow, rain, or ice. Some mild flurries for about a third of a day in the beginning but nothing stuck.

People are quick to judge Texas but context matters and other states in the region suffer similarly but don’t make the news in the same way.
Yes, I understand the issues.
They've used them in busses. Higher speed means more energy storage and ness necessary weight. Gyroscopic action can be handled with gimbals. Etc.

So back to my question.
A local keepass is a great alternative, been doing that for ages and honestly copying my keepass db to a device every once in a while is way less troublesome than quadruple factoring into lastpass/1password or whatever.
