LOL... wow! I thought the "national cyberattack" and the root override/hijacking was far more relevant than the connection with the organization which shall not be named which is nominally led by he who shall not be named.

Why isn't it front-page news on HN rather than being flagged? Is it just because Musk's "DOGE" is in the title? I think it's pretty significant that a number of agencies have handed root access to people who shouldn't have it and have made changes that could have significant unintended consequences. This is could end up being a case study in why you don't allow unfettered access even when ordered by the incoming regime (be it POTUS or CEO) because there be dragons and the new people don't know where they are yet.

So if I sell digital certificates -- a PDF that says someone donated to my little media side-hustle -- it would be all good? See that's the problem: nobody will tell me what I can do to come into compliance. And as for the banks: I have been paying my taxes for years and the bank connected to this account has zero issues with what I do and are happy to deposit checks made out to my DBA (and then charge me a fee for having a business checking account).

There is also no way to stop people from writing/committing cyberattacks: let's ban computers and dismantle the internet.

I love that 8:56 AM PST is a future timestamp. Yes, things are somewhat sub-optimal at AWS at the moment... but is this isolated to us-east-1 or are other regions affected as well?

building subsequent plants based on an existing design actually costs more, not less, than building the initial plant.

Unless building a nuke plant is a common thing where the crew that built a plant in Georgia can then go build one just like it in Alabama then one in Tennessee, then in Ohio, etc, then I don't see how building two plants with identical layouts can leverage economies of scale. For example: Wolf Creek NGS in Kansas and Calloway NGS in Missouri were apparently the first two plants in the US to be built using the same blueprints. If two more plants were built today with those same blueprints but by different construction crews who don't have any of the tribal knowledge from the construction of Wolf Creek and Calloway then what you have are four essentially bespoke plants that just happen to use the same blueprints.

I agree that a better template would be great...

Is there a serious effort on this front? At the very least a mobile version of Electron[1] applications would be a great interim step: you just need a browser for the UI and performance-critical bits can be written in C/C++ for accuracy and speed. Ultimately a modular UI paradigm can replace the dependence on a browser but that is likely years down the road.

[1] Cordova used to be the model; Ionic's Capacitor project is far more advanced but targeting iOS and Android specifically.

What vendor lock-in? They make it plainly clear how to export your data from BitWarden: https://bitwarden.com/help/article/export-your-data/

Personally I think it would be awesome if Bitwarden gave you the option to export your password vault as a KDBX4 file. What's the best way to fund a bounty program for adding this feature to Bitwarden?

At what point does the name of an application or project become available to be re-used? I'm not trying to troll but "Pine" in terms of applications is, and will always be to me, an email client: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_(email_client)

When the Mozilla Foundation launched their open source web browser they initially called it "Phoenix" (an apt name considering it was rising from the ashes of Netscape Navigator) but changed the name to "Firefox" because in software the name Phoenix is a database.

Just because Pine is "done" it's not dead. I hold the Pine email client in esteem and don't want to have to suffix it with "email client" just because someone else wanted to name their app with the same noun.
