There have been a lot of rumors about Amazon buying Target and although I do like Amazon, I hope it never happens. IMHO Target was the only online/b&m business that was competitive with Amazon prices and deals over the holidays.

Man I miss the Far Side

My BTC wallet feels more vulnerable then ever

I'll be honest I had no idea who Sam Altman is so I read his wikipedia page and I still don't quite understand how he got to where he is today? Was his success started by the Loopt sale?

Thank you for the details from a Pilot's point of view. I was watching this flight play out live and it was certainly a nail biter. I couldn't believe they were going to land let alone take off.

I wonder if launching a trip to Mars would also be easier from the moon?

Most except safari

You have summarized the exact reason(s) why I will not use Windows for the foreseeable future even though I do like Windows 10

An antenna would not surprise me. There already seems to be a small contact patch on the bands that makes them snap into place.

In my own personal experience, I can honestly say I've never "intentionally" clicked on an ad in the past 20+ years I've been on the internet. I will say I've certainly looked at ads in magazines, billboards, tv commercials (before tivo) and even those small planes pulling banners at the beach.

I am not surprised that digital marketing is not that effective. What does surprise me is why its taken this long to figure that out.

I'm a big fan of this topic. Something we seem to forget is that sometimes new is not necessarily better.

It is, but its a PIA and I'd like to use the mirror function

Any way to add SMB? I don't see it in the list of options and I need to copy files to a Windows server.

I was about to say this was a marketing department dumpster fire, but then I made it to the comments section. FFS AgileBits what happened?

I am also a long time customer of 1Password.

Unfortunately or fortunately (if you are a shareholder of a SaaS public company) we have seen a mass exodus by corporations (see Adobe, MS/o365, Quickbooks, Basecamp, etc.. etc..) that have moved from the traditional purchase a license model to the cloud based subscription model.

While I do understand the benefits of storing certain information in the cloud (GitHub!) when it comes to the storage of critical information such as passwords I'd rather be in control of that information myself and on my own hardware.

While 1Password is correct in suggesting that the cloud model may be the best solution for average users, it runs face first into the best practices of security conscious professionals.

I would personally be willing to pay a premium for a "Pro" version of 1Password with local storage and keep the cloud based subscriptions for people that are either unwilling to or do not have the skill set to manage a local security store.

One more additional note, a move like this should have been more transparent from AgileBits. It looks a bit like they tried to slip one past the goalie, which isn't going to give anyone the warm fuzzies especially when it comes to security products.

This is strictly a business decision with no regards for serious security.

A subscription model is in their belief the only way to maintain a sustainable business model that includes growth by providing SaaS with recurring revenue. Old school static licenses with local storage will not provide recurring revenue.

Edit: removed a word

You can add me to the list of people never wanting to go back.

I was fairly excited to take my kids to Disney as I had never been there myself as a kid for unknown reasons. And while I had good time, once is certainly enough. I'd rather travel and see different places as opposed to going the same place year after year.

Will take a look, thanks, first time I've heard of brave.

"Which browser should I use"

thank you

A quick question for someone who knows little about 2FA. If I were to use my Google Voice account as the SMS number does that make it any more secure since it's not tied to a SIM card?

Sign me up for the ingrown toenail case

Complicated by the fact that the .io domain has recently become popular for startups

The proliferation of video currently gets my goat. I like to read news, not watch it.

I've just done the same myself. I am also having everyone I know use FF and DDG where possible.

neither, serious, why?

You seem to comment frequently here on HN where I consider most users to be above average in the level of intelligent replies so your trolling seems quite out of place.

And I am in the middle of migrating to icloud from google. Not going to stop at this point.

Thank you for taking the time to explain. I had the same question.

Want vs. Need

Barrier to entry is low

Easier to own/maintain/productively use a bike in a location like the Netherlands
