Did I ever say that I expected "updates in perpetuity"? I said (in another comment from the one you replied to) that I expect the software to "work in perpetuity." That's a very different requirement that requires A

Since neither of them are open source, I haven't put energy into making sure either of them is secure. Not being a security researcher or having access to either product's code, I'm not sure how I could be expected to perform

This is an important point. I think 1Password folks need to hear that for a lot of customers, it will never be the case. There are many of us that consider managing the storage of our vaults as a fundamental safety feature of a password man

As a 1Password customer who's been pretty unhappy with how the company took my money for a full version and has, since, been pushing me towards a subscription (making the non-subscription version/features harder to find, no Window

I don't understand why there's a need for complex cap and trade schemes to deal with carbon emissions from vehicles when there is a perfectly simple way of adding a cost to driving a carbon-emitting vehicle. Just add more taxes to

I think GP's post was saying that they're not passed on evenly. Developers in many cities have realized that they can satisfy the requirements and charge extra for those parking spaces, whether assigned or not. I've lived i

Your hypothetical survey method has a literal survivorship bias (and a statistical one...you're not asking the children of parents that took risks and didn't die). Looking at risk the way you're looking at it is a recipe for

Ugh...no. I tried Nix until I found that all packages that depended on OpenSSL were broken on OS X. I checked for a bug report and found that one had been filed and sat open and unfixed for 18 months. Given that this bug makes Nix basically

Taking a commercial flight over Southeast Asia is a very similar experience. Endless acres of once-rain-forrest that's since turned into palm oil plantations. Occasionally you'll see massive fires set by people who are too lazy to

I tried the v4, but it wouldn't accept my v6 license key :( My workaround was to write a small utility that I run on both my Mac and Windows boxes that sits in the background and keeps the two clipboards synchronized. So I just copy fr

The subscription isn't really mandatory, but I've been quite disappointed at the transparency with which they've been pushing people towards that...even those of us that purchased the full version somewhat recently. For insta

I spent much of last year traveling around Southeast Asia and I always opted for fan rooms over A/C whenever possible. Yes, they were warmer, but once you got used to it, it wasn't a problem. But the best part about it was the lac

I forget who said it, but there's a quote along the lines of, "There's no problem in programming that can't be solved by adding another layer of indirection. Getters are just that, a layer of indirection. So they give yo

I think what you're seeing is less the Rust community and more the community of computer users that have been forced to use C/C++ software for decades now. Up until Rust, there were many easy reasons why developers could justify t

Your #1 is about QoS, not net neutrality. You want to prioritize the remote surgery protocol above all others...net neutrality allows that. If, instead of protocol, you prioritize by source/destination, how can you ensure that the remo

What if the source code is in a different language from the one you use? Should a patent force Google to port their code specifically for you? What if the 3D files are for an expensive program that's different from the one you use? Sho

Bandwidth cost? Uploading a TB of VPN'd data would cost you $90 on AWS and a bit more on GCP. There are VPN providers that will let you do that for under $5/mo. Also, if you want your public IP to be in a specific country, the clo

That's false. The Waymo-Uber case contains patent claims, though 3 of the 4 were dropped at the judge's suggestion. So it seems that Google has patented quite a few aspects of their self-driving vehicles. The article I found didn&

If you don't patent, you lose the ability to go after others if they independently create the same invention or reverse engineer your product. And if you fail to properly document your use and someone else patents it, you could lose th

The nice part about AWS MFA is that there's usually multiple people with IAM access. So rather than use backup codes, we rely on co-workers to help us resynchronize. It may not work for 1-man shops, but how many AWS accounts only have

It's only a two-sided marketplace if you need drivers. If Google uses Waymo tech to remove drivers from the equation, there's only one side to the market that they have to consider, which makes it a much easier proposition to ente
