I'd recommend KeePass over KeePassX if you're in Windows-land or don't mind running KeePass 2.0 which runs under .NET and Mono. KeePassX's last stable release was in 2010 and hasn't had any patches since then. Its 2.x branch has been in alpha for years.
Thanks Kevin.

This has been fixed. Thanks for trying linklink.

While I'm not for or against the second amendment, do you honestly think it's a realistic scenario that the government gets oppressive to the point where people will pick up arms? Do you really honestly believe that? Do you think other developed nations like the UK, France, or Japan are at a higher risk of turning to tyranny b.c they do not have guns widely available?
Sounds like a Vox-killer to me. Good riddance to those explainer cards!

Any security hole is of course concerning, but as a LastPass user, I'm not at all concerned about the two issues mentioned in this article. The two features in question are, IMHO, not part of a typical use case for the product.
I don't see anything exceptionally dirty about that mail. I went to the article to get the full context and still don't see it. The intimation of the article and, in fact, everything I've heard on this stuff, is that all anti-poaching agreements exist solely for the purpose of depressing employee wages, but I don't think that holds true. It may be technically illegal, but the potential moral implications of a no-poaching agreement are non-obvious and I think decent people can forge these agreements with good intentions.

Reporting on staff movements isn't necessarily selfish or evil. It's important to understand what's going on with your workforce: know where they're going and why. Catmull's email seems totally fine to me -- he's reporting on a poached employee to Jobs, explaining that Sony is aggressively pursuing Pixar personnel, and that they were already taking a certain employee of moderate value particularly. Catmull reiterates that there is no extant no-poach arrangement with Sony. That's useful information for a CEO, right?

I think some people are trying to make this a bigger deal than it has to be. If there's an email that shows direct evidence of conspiracy to fix wages, I'd be interested in seeing that, but I don't think the no-poach agreements need to be assumed to have been a bad-faith arrangement.

EDIT: Woops, HN has decided I'm not allowed to talk anymore. Usually when this happens it lasts a pretty long time (at least several hours, I suspect something like 12-24). I'd like to continue discussing with you all, but that'll have to be it for me in this thread.
Let the payback begin, including interest.

Many years ago (10?) I distinctively remember reading an article about the collapse of salary of animators. Their salary had shot up as much as a million a year thanks to surprise hits such as the first batch of hits from Pixar. But in a matter of a few months or a year or so, the salary had gone down drastically.

The article was mentioning glut of animated movies etc, but I'm suspecting it was due to this illegal act.

>A more interesting question is how to dispel the fog of claims and counterclaims that makes identifying and prosecuting intimate violence so difficult.

While you can't really tell in he said-she said cases, rapists and similar are often creatures of habit and if you get unrelated victims with the same story that narrows things down. Plus there can be other evidence. Rolf Harris for example - that was a bit of a shocker.

I can think of several possibilities, but I'll leave their plausibility for the reader to judge:

- She was also cowardly about how the relationship ended, and could never work up the nerve to confront him in person. In my own dorm doors were usually kept closed, so if you didn't seek someone out, you would rarely see them at all.

- She knocked on his door, and he ignored her then too, but omitted it from the article, focusing on where the relationship didn't go rather than exhaustively detailing how it ended

- The two people kept separate schedules that meant they often weren't home at the same time, save sleeping hours (or, if either had a flexible-schedule night shift job, as my own roommate did, not even then)

- The relationship occurred near the end of a semester, and both parties moved out about the time it ended. They no longer ran into each other.
I mean, nothing is really going to be as performant as Redis if you put it on disk.

The closest thing I can think of off the top of my head is MongoDB. Mongo will combine with on disk and in-memory storage. But you can do pretty much all the same things within mongo, just slower. It might not be that huge of a difference in performance depending on exactly what your doing of course. But if you're doing something in Redis that is, say, doing 100k+ ops/sec, you're highly unlikely to get that in mongo.
This is a social problem, not a legal problem.

The day when these sorts of accusations from a man against a woman carries the same weight with the same debilitating effects, then we can start talking about the legal problems.

Until then, this is about the bias our society as a whole has against men with respect to the rape issue, and woman understanding this.
Without CSS it still displays the encrypted image with the Encryption / Decryption - technique, doesn't it?
The last paragraph of the paper briefly touches on that:

This paper would not be complete without a mention of Static Single Assignment form (SSA), the currently fashionable intermediate representation for imperative languages. As is well known, SSA is in some sense equivalent to CPS (Kelsey 1995) and to ANF (Appel 1998). Its focus is intra-procedural
optimization (as with ANF, it’s necessary to renormalize when inlining functions, in contrast to CPS) and there is a large body of work on such optimizations. Future work is to transfer SSA-based optimizations to CPS. We conjecture that CPS is a good fit for both functional and imperative paradigms.

No. Read https://brendaneich.com/2008/04/popularity/. "Come to Netscape, do Scheme in the browser!" was the bait. When I got to Netscape, it "had to look like Java". And given timing both internal and due to MS coming after Netscape, it had to be done really, really quickly.

Very interesting. A few thoughts:

(1) Variation within a country would be interesting to see as well. For example, how big of a blob would the U.S. be on the chart?

Answering this question might be difficult. Years of red-state-blue-state talk have suggested to Americans that philosophical variation is properly measured by state. But that is nonsense: someone from inner-city Chicago has relatively little in common with someone from a small town in southern Illinois, despite the fact that they are citizens of the same state. And let's remember that it was the voters of California that approved Proposition 8 back in 2008.

But suppose you did it right (somehow). That red-state-blue-state talk also suggests that we differ a lot. But do we? How large would the U.S. blob be? It's hard to say.

(2) It's nice how well the colored regions work. They had to fudge, of course: most noticeably with the zig-zag between Poland and Malaysia, and also with the one between Bulgaria and China.

But generally it works. I recall a TED talk about how the various countries in Africa actually differ quite a bit: there is great variation in prosperity, freedom, etc. And yet they cluster together pretty closely on the chart. And the countries further to the north in Africa that are listed as being Islamic are still all close to the "Africa" region.

[That suggests that the U.S. might actually represent a very small blob indeed, on the scale of the whole world.]

(3) Let's suppose that it makes sense to average two countries' scores and think of that as a point on the chart.

Which countries lie on the boundary of the convex hull? There are twelve: Japan, Sweden, Canada, USA, Puerto Rico, El Salvador, Ghana, Morocco, Zimbabwe, Iraq, Russia, and Taiwan. That means -- if we are to grant that this chart is a meaningful one -- that the philosophies of every country in the world are, in some sense, a mix of those of these twelve.
I don't really consider it shock humor for whatever reason. I think it's actually kind of clever and somewhat low-key. It's more like general Internet humor, not so much 4chan humor.

I'm also used to things that are way, way more "edgy". There are games out there that are much more offensive and rely only on shock value, usually involving the n-word and related interspersed frequently.

Every nation you listed including our own has at some point fought against it's own government.

The assumption isn't whether a government can get oppressive to the point where people fight. It's "Is our government so good that citizens will never have cause to oppose it, for the rest of human history?"
Yea I'll pass.
Or using SAS [1] and PGP check words [2] ala implementations like ZRTP [1]

I know this is pretty silly, but at the same time I find it interesting. It makes me wonder what effect stuff like this has compared to the more usual commercial and political channels of influence.
Agreed. I'm reading his book Creativity Inc. right now, and it's chock-full of goodness. Except that now, I question the very motives and integrity of the author, so the whole thing is completely suspect, and I might just not continue reading.

Deterministic builds are pretty neat. I think the second equally important piece is a a Web of Trust full of people willing to reproduce the build and sign off on the hashes.

I was able to reproduce the sha512sum of the Bitcoin back when 0.9.0 came out without too much trouble, but it definitely took a couple hours to get it all working.

I feel a bit bad I didn't take the next step and attach my digital signature signifying that I could reproduce it. There are only a few people other than Gavin who go to the trouble of signing off on the hashes.

I wonder if Docker could be used to speed up the overall process and make builds more accessible. As I recall, the current scripts setup a single-core KVM which definitely slowed things down.

While this news is a little worrisome, I view LastPass as a "better than what I'd do otherwise" solution, not a "perfect" solution. I no longer use my small set of short, easy-to-remember passwords over and over again across multiple sites. Now most of my passwords are long random strings that I don't even know. The overall increase to my average security offsets the downsides of having a centralized target for attackers, I think.
>> ...should put the lie to the notion that network-transparent display is in any wise essential. Beautiful, pixel-perfect, tear-free GUIs are much more important.

OSX comes pre-installed with an X server, which should put the lie to the notion that you can't have both. I don't know my way around this issue at an extremely low level, such as if I'd worked on the guts of an X server; however, I'm perfectly able to believe that video hardware has evolved capabilities that X11 just can't support properly. It also seems somewhat dubious that the subsystem that provides access to the video hardware needs to be coupled to a network protocol. It seems like, in principle, you could layer one atop the other and get the same -- or better -- result. Now, if GUI applications weren't forced to deal with X, then client support for X might start to erode as applications chose to go around it. But, how bad would that be? Is preventing it worth the opportunity cost?

> and the size of the position would be much larger than 50-billion in, but the idea is the same.

The crucial part is that the size of the position will be larger than the file you are seeking. This is unintuitive, but necessarily true for most possible files because of the pigeonhole principle. If you don't believe me, just try it out. Decide on random 4-digit sequences in pi and find their indexes. The mean of their indexes will be >4 digits. Same is true of any sequences of any length.

> I don't get this at all. You're talking about multiple files, which has nothing at all to do with my proposal.

No, I'm talking about multiple possible files, of which you must be able to compress and decompress any single one for your proposal to work in general.

General compression is mathematically proven to be impossible. If you have a compression algorithm f() which can take any input, in order for it to be able to compress some input of length x into a form that is shorter than x, it must also compress some other input of length x into a form that is longer than x.

Or, to put in another way, the sum of len(f(y)) for all possible y where len(y) = x is always greater than or equal to sum of len(y).

In the linked paper (http://arxiv.org/pdf/1407.0026v1.pdf) they suggest that it will be useful for "extremely-wide-field transiting exoplanet searches, realtime searches for transient and variable phenomena, and ... the capability to effectively pre-image unexpected events detected by other surveys". Based on the relative length of the descriptions, they seem most interested in the exoplanet surveys.

"I sometimes think about the origins of the second amendment and if it's intent was to empower citizens against a potentially oppressive government then it has failed."

The government doesn't actively need to attack people with their own agents. They just need to make it known that someone won't be protected, and let the criminal element do the rest. In some places, weapons for self-defense can be a defense against that kind of government.

I like it when women wear underwear that isn't $47 a pop.

That way if you rip it, or lose it, or whatever... nobody cares. Plus... it's more exciting when women buy new underwear frequently. My girlfriend will text me, "I'm wearing new panties..." and I'm cutting out of work early.

Doesn't every woman carry a tampon in her purse?

Can't you just take a no-period birth control pill?

Ok, glad we're helping the girls in Africa, but wouldn't the $47 a pair be better spent directly on them if that's the real goal?
Prices arise through market forces: the competition of buyers for the same goods. If the largest purchasers of a given good agree not to compete, then prices are absolutely harmed.

Understanding where staff is going is reasonable. Making it so that your staff doesn't have opportunities to go anywhere? That's a criminal conspiracy to rig a market.

I saw a car with the license plate ARW 357. Can you imagine? Of all the millions of license plates in the state, what was the chance that I would see that particular one tonight? Amazing!"

Couchbase Mobile using Sync Gateway is incredibly similar to Amazon Cognito. Even the native iOS and Android libraries have a similar feel to them (object-mapping with native objective-c objects, single call sync/replication function). Sync gateway has built in support for identity providers such as Facebook, but doesn't provide Google or Amazon identity support (this could easily be added with custom server code).

The big difference I am seeing here is Amazon Cognito doesn't yet have a story around syncing documents between multiple users/roles. Sync gateway has the notion of a sync function that providers developers with a hook to customize server-side syncing in a deeper way.

I'll be interested to see how Amazon developers the multi-user/role sync capabilities and integrates it with their native identity management solution. Could be very compelling down the road..
I agree that a likely effect was artificial depression of employee salaries, but I don't think we've seen it adequately demonstrated that that was the primary intended effect and not just an unintentional or tertiary side effect of the agreement. Frequent poaching is often considered unsportsmanlike competition by business people; I know several of the companies I've been affiliated with have felt that way. It's possible that Pixar et al had the best intentions when establishing this protocol.

It doesn't really leave the employee without somewhere to go, it just makes it harder for them to find employment at a direct competitor while still employed. I would bet that most people who would've been poached would've been hired by a competitor within hours of resigning at their current employer.

That doesn't make it OK, and like I said, it's very possible all of this was illegal from the get-go. I'm just saying there's no need to jump to the conclusion that malice and conspiracy were the primary motives behind these compacts, and there's no need to drag someone's name through the mud when definitive evidence doesn't exist.
At long ranges (1 km+), the rotation of the earth affects both the horizontal and vertical point of impact. A summary is here: http://thearmsguide.com/5329/external-ballistics-the-corioli...

Wind has a larger effect that is evident even at shorter ranges. Bullets are fast, but during their time of flight they are blown around by the wind just like any other object passing through the air.
A Call to Action for a Missing Type of Photo Sharing App
One of the hurdles for a technology is having "substantial non-infringing uses" which may be arguable (are there enough open-source movie torrents out there?), but it's unlikely GitHub felt like figuring it out and just took it down when a complaint came in.
Since you can't escape the problem, maybe it might be a good idea for sites like these to make it clear where the ads are. Something similar to the yellow/orange Ad tag on Google Search would make it clear which download buttons are ads and which ones are the ones you want.

I think the thing is that while people can do good things, they can also do really bad/weird things to others when all of their hierarchy of needs is met.

I he has money, power, comfort, is top-of-his-game -- then its very easy to really act as though it is a game and his actions only strengthening his position and the position of the system that supports his position (the company).

So in his mind, he is just being efficient/business minded/shrewd etc... and doesn't realize he is actually fucking up the lives of others -- he is only seeing it from his own perspective; that he is an effective person making shit-tons of money.

Utter lack of compassion/human perspective.
