"but it would be very bad if my bank or brokerage gets rooted"

Yup. I put everything in the password manager except primary email and bank/brokerage.
There's not really any benefit to deleting the account other than forgetting they're untrustworthy and accidentally using them in the future. I would think it's better to change all passwords (at each service, not at lastpass) and leave the account at lastpass active, precisely to be in the know for such things in the future. That's unless I'm misunderstanding something about their service that makes it better off to delete the account. I've never used them.
I used https://www.omnicalculator.com/other/password-entropy to calculate it by the way. I threw out a few examples but you're right, it does come down to individuals knowing what to do or not. Those aren't meant to be good examples of passwords to use in practice.
Now I can use excel. I always sucked doing stuff in excell formulas. With this now I can just linq and spit the info I need.
One of the most frustrating things about the LastPass leak is that they still haven't provided all the information needed to determine whether a customer is at risk.

For example, it's clear backups were stolen, but they won't say how old the backups were, or what their retention policy is. So even if you changed your password to a stronger one, with more rotations, it may be that the attacker got hold of very old backups with weaker security. I've asked their support team for information about time windows of backups stolen, if they have a retention policy and whether it was adhered to, but they won't share that information. Instead we are left with a blog post that is more than a month old, no recent updates, and questions remaining unanswered. I'm a paying 'enterprise' customer, and they are meant to be ISO270001 compliant, so a retention policy should be a pretty simple thing to share.
The real question is how do you get people to exercise something, anything, daily. Not what exactly they should do.
As ex-Nokia, on that case they did it to themselves.

First for the kind of management we had regarding Symbian vs Linux, angering the Symbian developer community, always changing the development stack, deciding to bring a Microsoft person which decided to go all in on Windows Phone, when the R&D culture was pretty much anti-MS during those days (Symbian/Linux), and having a contract clause for a nice bonus if Elop managed to sell the company.
Thanks, that's great!! <3

During the exercise the body is in a state of flight or flight[0], the other mode is rest and digest. So during hunger will go away, but the body will want to be able to exert the same or more(because that amount was at least needed), and as such it will start fighting against rapid weight loss by exercise, by increasing hunger, and or slowing metabolism.

The reason why this is quite simple, body is unable to see the difference betweenexercise and staying alive in a hostile world. As such staying alive will always be prioritized. If CICO would work then we wouldn't be obesity pandemic[1]

Best is to rotate all your stored passwords and not store the new ones in lastpass, delete all the items, and change the lastpass master password. Check any notes for sensitive info before overwriting and then deleting the entry and assume someone else will read what you had there.

Where are you getting that from? Are the changes seen in the fitness factors especially significant, and if so, how significant? What's the expected health outcome here?

In the U.S., servers are commonly expected to tip the kitchen staff. If a locality mandated a 2% fee to pay the kitchen staff, that's 2% the server doesn't have to pay out, so this seems entirely reasonable to me.

What is unreasonable to me is the locality thinking by mandating a 2% tip the problem they claim to be solving will somehow magically disappear.
It does seem that executive compensation is just straight up broken. Even bad CEOs are paid enormous sums of money for their shoddy performance. Sundar Pichai is a poor performing CEO, he's very likely done permanent damage to Google's business. For this, he is going to be rewarded with generational wealth. It's hard to see what exactly we're paying CEOs for. Are we paying them to attract the best talent? No, you'd have a queue of fantastic candidates queueing around the block for 1/10th of what Sundar is being paid. Are we compensating them for performance? Again no, they get massive compensation packages up front whether they succeed or fail. Are we compensating them for the extra-ordinary responsibility they have? Well apparently not, because they don't face any consequences for fucking up.

So why are we paying them so much? Because the compensation committee says so. Why does the compensation committee say so? Well, because the compensation committee is formed of executives, so the whole thing is just a massive circle jerk.

At what point do the shareholders say "hold up a sec, why are we bleeding all this cash to a bunch of executives whose entire strategy is just to follow the market".
> What’s the best way to delete an account? Overwrite all password values? Wait a month, overwrite again, wait a month, delete?

The only sensible approach is to change every password on every site that you’ve ever stored credentials in LastPass for. Any attempt to change the passwords is just hoping hay their backups are better secured than their prod database (they are almost certainly not), and also that the data wasn’t popped before you changed them (which they almost certainly were, probably multiple times).

Delete your account, but revoke/update all those passwords asap as well. Since the site/url and email addresses were not encrypted, I’d be changing the email address on at least critical accounts as well where I can.
The point is that the meaning of "seek to maximize shareholder return" is defined almost entirely by management, not shareholders. That's what "management" means.
The other prob is the size of the company. If say a couple of dudes make a 10 million dollar steady business. It changes their lives. A 10 million dollar steady project in a company the size of google will probably get killed. It does not 'move the needle'. They probably can produce hundreds of small applications that are cool and slightly profitable. They even try it. But if those products do not 'hockey stick' forget it. Then also your point people stopped trusting them to long term support 'new' things. Also getting support out of them if you are using some of their products seems to be awful. That reflects badly even on products where they do give decent service as they now have a reputation for that.

This is never going to happen at scale. Energy is fungible: one cannot compete on "quality" of energy, just on price, a kWh is a kWh and the provider with the cheapest energy will always win in the marketplace. So this means any EV owner looking to make a profit is competing against large scale industrial storage entities that:

- have large mass and purchasing power, optimizing their battery purchasing and operational costs;

- have grid-scale storage oriented solutions tuned for maximum charging cycles and lifetime-storage

- use stationary batteries with no mass penalties, affording them the use of low density exotic chemistries (Na-ion) or non-battery storage systems.

Meanwhile, the EV owner has a mobility-optimized battery that is tuned for maximum density that still results in a cycle count comparable with the lifetime of the car. At market equilibrium, any revenue he extracts while serving the grid will reduce the useful life time of the battery and therefore depreciate his capital, and make his battery a "spare parts consumable" which is a major profit driver for most auto-manufacturers, especially a custom form factor battery for a 5 year old vehicle that is no longer sold.

Never mind that the whole operational cost, changing the meter to a bidirectional one, making sure the vehicle is connected for extended periods of time etc. is probably not going to be worth the pennies you will earn.

Grid storage is EVs is a decade old pipe dream, it will never make sense economically, it has been attempted multiple times and always failed, just let it die.
I completely agree (that struggling is the most important part, and also about andrej's lectures - they almost spoon feed you imo), but I also didn't know papers took so long. Any particular papers that you remember implementing yourself that you would reccomend?

It took me far to long to realize this, but the incentive on research grants is not to deliver a final product. In many cases the individuals responsible for delivering would be rewarded by no longer having a career.

Hence, these programs tend towards infinite research proposals- the same is true in applied ml research in private corporations.
I also ain't a big fan of the idea, a few thoughts

* (Currently) Most AI generated images have an aesthetic to them, so it's easy to spot sometimes. Typically low-res, smeared details, bad hands/body horror. This may improve over time, but I don't know how I'd feel ethically (both morally and in work/effort) leaning so hard on AI.

* For me at least, as soon as I learn something creative is completely (or mostly) AI generated I lose all interest in engaging with the content beyond surface-level consumption. I think fundamentally AI generated creative works are banal and will age horribly over time.

Honestly I think it would be much better to buy a nice paperback kid's book made by a human as a gift for your friend's kid. They'll love it and the kid will have a connection with a human author and artist.
> Before long, there will be more EV battery capacity than the grid can use

yes, but because nobody is deploying V2G at high density housing, and also because the grid doesn't have the capacity

>There's no doubt exercise is essential here.

In the isolated context of losing weight, it doesn't seem like exercise is essential. Or to state in less absolute terms, exercise has less influence than diet choices for purposes of losing weight and maintaining it.

In my case, I noticed that the pounds melted off when I stopped drinking sugary sodas and eating bread/snacks and switched to more vegetables with olive oil. In contrast , when I started exercising regularly, I actually gained more weight.

The thing that messes up the simplistic idea of "exercise burns calories so with 2nd law of thermodynamics you lose weight" ... is the body's overwhelming desire to maintain homeostasis. (https://www.google.com/search?q=homeostasis)

Homeostasis means that more exercise can cause more hunger and thus bigger meals which offsets the exercise so no weight is lost.

Likewise, deliberately eating less can cause the body to conserve energy and do less physical activity which re-balances the body to not lose any weight.

For many folks, a long-term way to adjust the homeostasis is to change the diet from high-carb to low-carb and switch out the 400-calorie Starbucks frappuccinos and sugary sodas to green tea and 0-calorie sparkling water. These diet alterations have more chances of success than maintaining the discipline of burning 500+ calories a week via exercise.

Exercise is essential for healthy heart and bone strength but there are counteracting factors when used as a tool to specifically lose weight.

I have bought the M2 Amiga Modula-2 compiler after saving my pocket money for ages. It came with complete modules/interfaces to the native Amiga system libraries and the type system prevented you from shooting into your own foot at every corner.

Plus I could do my computer homework in Modula-2 on my Amiga and then quickly rewrite it to Turba Pascal in school

Unless the $/kwh or lifecycle count of EV batteries change significantly, using them as a grid-scale storage is just not financially feasible.

E.g. a NMC battery has a lifespan of around ~2000 cycles, a model S 90 D has a 90 kWh battery. That's around 180 MWh of total energy that can be moved through the battery before it is dead.

On Reddit, a tesla user reports (https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/v4dqkp/19000_n...) it costing him 19 000 USD to replace a 90kWh battery in his model s.

This means that the replacement cost of the battery for the owner costs ~ 106 USD per MWh hour, which is more than most generation sources (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source#...). In other words, it's cheaper to build and run a natural gas power plant than to pay EV owners for the grid-scale storage capacity from the NMC batteries in their cars.

> If you make a one shot request to an HTTP server, and the system creates a connection pool for that hostname:port, and you never need it ever again, should the connection pool survive until the program terminates?

I did not know it did that, and scanning through the docs, they don't appear to mention it either.

Is this only on client programs? Does it do the same for server programs too (create a pool for each incoming src-ip:src-port connections)?
The Android app for pass, and the required gpg app, are pretty clunky and not very friendly to work with (and the Windows desktop experience is not great either).

I remembered that and before I learned more about the breach and was feeling "breaches happen" about things (I have strong master password) my thought was to use that to update passwords by age... but they actually removed the feature! That seemed so user hostile it made me mad enough that migrating somewhere where I can work with password age became my goal. Then as I've learned more about the breach, their design and their response it's just put wind in my sails.

So in respect to the ad unit, the argument is that they have grown to such a size that brands (from mom and pop's restaurant, to coke, nike) are overspending for the service. If you read on some of the ad tech blogs (not my specialty) there seems to be a strong case there is rampant fraud in metrics and what customers (the brands) are actually getting when they spend their ad dollars with googles many, many platforms. This doesn't seem to be unique with google, meta and others seems to do similar, but google is the big boy on the block. The anti-trust thing is required (in the governments eyes) as there is not a viable alternative, at least for organic search, for these brands.

The value to consumers is hypothetically that splitting it up will increase competition in the ad tech space. This will in turn lower ad spends from brands and hopefully push their real metrics to be more accurate, less fraud, etc. This will in turn lower advertising spend for these brands will which theoretically end up in lower costs to consumers.

Some other random thoughts.
1. Why would google (or any of them) make a good faith effort to stamp out fraud when it is lining their pockets? They are so big their really isn't a strong alternative and brands can't choose to just not play.
2. Why should the dominate browser effectively drive the privacy/tracking conversation for the largest ad tech player? This is an inherent conflict of interest and is unlikely to lead to better privacy for the consumer.
3. Why should a company that benefits from tracking/analytics be driving the development of one of the top 2 OS for mobile. On face value we are heading towards a world where buyers have to pay a premium for privacy (arguably iPhone, debatable), but android (largely budget phones) have no such or at least inferior protections. Why would they ever strengthen consumer privacy on mobile if its lining their pockets now.

It was surprisingly easy- for all of LastPass's faults, at least they don't use shady vendor lock-in practices (like making data export needlessly difficult). And 1Password has a LastPass-specific import page, which made the migration dead-easy.
There were indeed loopholes in variant records you could misuse for all kinds of tricks, and Wirth was aware of these and finally replaced the concept by type extension. Instead of "not possible" I should better have stated "not officially supported". My point was instead, that Lisa Pascal added concepts, which were official part of the language specification, from which we can conclude, that (also) from the view of Apple original Pascal was not suited for the endeavor. Others came to the same conclusion (see e.g. the famous paper by Kernighan), and even Wirth added features similar to the ones found e.g. in Lisa Pascal to his Modula-2 language.
