You clearly are not a software expert. If your master password is not stored anywhere, there is no way for 1P to know what your master password is - and so no way to validate what the correct password is to access your vault. Even if 1P do

You asked what the difference was. Simply put, you can't hack what does not exist. LastPass also stores passwords encrypted and was hacked. In other words, no matter of how well 1Password handles the storing of your master password (en

A master password (e.g. to access a password manager) needs to be both remembered and stored somewhere (ie the password manager, not your brain). A secret heuristic doesn't and so is more secure by simply not also being stored somewher

I'm still in my 30s, but I wonder how much mental decline is actually due to physical decline. I notice I feel more sluggish, sleepy, less sharp and motivated during periods when I'm more sedentary. And while exercise is tiring, I

I think some people need to step back and ponder what's the purpose of economics? Why do we even study it? What are we hoping to achieve in analyzing it? I can only think it began with the philosophy for making better decisions, solvin

I don't buy the argument that every transaction in theory creates wealth. The only way that holds true, is by using a subjective/arbitrary meaning of wealth, which would imply, I can become wealthier/poorer by merely changing

Well, it's hard to solve a problem you don't understand right? When a problem fundamentally lies in a domain no one understands, how will it ever be fixed or solved? Best you can do is paper over the problem in some way, or someho

The current administration aren't really isolationists. Hell, they've threatened buying/invading Greenland and the Panama Canal. They're opportunists, protectionists, and authoritarians. I mean, Trump himself has praised

Well no, economic strength is really a matter of labor productivity, and I do not disagree in that the difference stems from government policies, I am not sure what statement I said makes you think I disagree? The OP questioned people'

No, that's wealth equalizing. Raw goods moving from one country to another, means equalizing those raw materials across the globe. That is, those materials are not all concentrated in one country and forgone in another (inequality), bu

Because the free trade policies aren't the root of the problem (ie inequality). As given enough time, global free trade policies should lead to income/wealth equalizing across the globe. Rather its unequal access to credit, and it

There's probably a sweet spot. Same with people. Too much context (especially unnecessary context) can be confusing/distracting, as well as being too vague (as it leaves room for multiple interpretations). But generally, I find th

If that's the argument, then it sounds pretty flawed TBH. I mean how does not inheriting their wealth, automatically mean they created it? Is theft not also a possibility?

Some people only care about simple stuff. You know like partying or having fun? US Government being a shit show? War stuff happening halfway across the planet? Some people don't care about that. They don't care if the government t

Explain your argument because it's not at all clear to me. I do not see how that statement refutes the arguments the above poster gave.

I mean, it does work pretty similar to the windows task bar? If an application is open, it is listed there in the dock with a mark under it. You can pin applications to the dock or remove them via right clicking it. Right clicking on one wi

I don't understand either. Personally, I believe the rare earth hypothesis is more credible than it seems at first glance. But the matter is warped by our own definition of life, in that we're looking for familiar things (i.e. hum

I want to agree, but seems to me a lot of people keep buying into the next hype, (or ignoring fundamentals, and focusing on derivatives when it comes to stocks. I mean hell go look at CVNA). Maybe that will change soon. In any case, I was j

May I ask why you find it so troubling? I mean, what if we were the only life in the universe? Would that be bothersome? What if we weren't? Is that more bothersome? Or is merely the fact of not knowing bothersome?

Meh, the company sales don't seem to really matter much. It's the stock which does affect Elon, and has been long detached from the underlying fundamentals.

Trees are good but are largely a temporary store. Most of the carbon they capture ends up be re-released upon decay. Of course some does get more permanently sequestered in the ground, but a relatively small amount, and is a very slow proce

Yeah, this is pretty much the answer when it comes to jobs. I mean why do people do their own oil changes, instead of leaving the job to their mechanic? Why would anyone try to replace their mechanic? You might argue for trust, quality, or

Sure they are better... but once you factor for die size, core count, wattage and so on... the improvements being made are less impressive than they first seem.
