My impression exactly. Insane.

0x6A75616Eon Ask HN: Why does 1Password seem to never open anymore?

There are two different official plugins. One of them sucks. Uninstall the one you have, then from the 1Password app, click "Install browser extension" and use that one.

0x6A75616Eon Ask HN: Do you use RFCs internally?

It was difficult to get some folks onboard. Writing RFCs is not always fun work. I used the Swift lang repo as a source of inspiration.

It's also tougher to think about all edge cases, and details upfront. But, it's best to pay the price early than having to rebuild something that's already done (wrong).

0x6A75616Eon Ask HN: Do you use RFCs internally?

We do, and it works well.

We put all RFCs in a dedicated single repository. The initial submission of an RFC is a merge request. The review and approval process is similar to that of a code MR. The same happens to subsequent updates to the RFC.

RFCs are versioned internally. But, since we're pretty small, most are still 1.0.

Our team is only under 10, so I haven't thought about the details of scaling this up to larger or multi-team environments. However, I don't think it'd have issues scaling as long as ownership and vision are clearly defined.

0x6A75616Eon Running macOS in a Virtual Machine on Apple Silicon Macs

Under "Additional macOS features":

- Hardware accelerated virtualization using Hypervisor.framework and QEMU

- Boot macOS guests with Virtualization.framework on macOS 12+

So, it does use Virtualization.framework for macOS guests.

0x6A75616Eon 'Naturally Acquired Immunity' to Covid-19 – 135 Research Studies

So basically the premise is that getting the disease is more effective in preventing the disease than the vaccine. So, don't get the vaccine to prevent the disease, simply wait until you get the disease.

0x6A75616Eon Canadian software engineers getting remote US salaries, how did you do it?

It's a numbers game. Send many applications and take interviews. Companies normally have no issues hiring Canadians. They only care about skills.

For payment, you'll want to consult with an accountant for what works best in your case. I know people who have incorporated (in Canada) and they invoice the US company from the corp and they pay themselves a salary in Canada. Other people do it via a personal corporation or sole proprietorship.

0x6A75616Eon Thank HN: Magnesium and Morning Anxiety

There are many types of Magnesium. Such as Magnesium L Threonate, Magnesium Chloride, etc. Which one specifically do you take?

0x6A75616Eon Time to assume that health research is fraudulent until proven otherwise?

Why not? What state is that in?

0x6A75616Eon US blocks websites linked to Iranian disinformation

p.s. this was only possible because a US entity (VeriSign) controls the .com TLD, and therefore any .com domain is subject to this sort of action.

0x6A75616Eon US blocks websites linked to Iranian disinformation

seizing != blocking

Blocking sounds like the US is blocking access to those sites from the US. In the same fashion certain countries would censor sites by blocking access to them from within their networks.

Seizing is taking control of the infrastructure (or domain name) to take a site online globally.

It sounds like this was a seizure.

0x6A75616Eon Live: China Launches Shenzhou-12 Manned Spaceship

Hehe. Block YouTube in China, but the state channel streams the launch there.

Cool, though.

0x6A75616Eon No more 1Password “Teams” plan?

It's still there.. https://1password.com/1-for-business/

0x6A75616Eon “YouTube is shutting down dissenting Biology PhDs and MDs”

In China, censorship is state-run. In America, it's been privatized.

0x6A75616Eon Collabarate on bringing about the end of crypto currencies like Bitcoin

Because the authors are clearly just against cryptocurrency in general. They're pro-banks.

0x6A75616Eon Collabarate on bringing about the end of crypto currencies like Bitcoin

The strategies proposed here are sketchy at best. No specifics given, very la-la land. While I agree that proof of work cryptocurrencies are currently weighing on our power-generation abilities and on the environment, one could argue banks are worse.

Decentralized currencies do away with reckless money printing and other evils, and for that reason they are the future.

I'm sure many were concerned about the environmental impact of the internet, and yet here we are. We'll find a way to make it work.

0x6A75616Eon Hardening macOS (2018)

BetterTouchTool has a "Bluetooth LE device moved away".. Maybe that can detect Apple Watch moving away, and then lock or even shut down the computer..

EDIT: Confirmed. This works. In a few minutes, I was able to set it up so that if my watch moves about a meter away from the mac, it'll lock the screen. It supports any Bluetooth LE device.

0x6A75616Eon Ask HN: What web application server back end would you use for a new project?

I've been wanting to try nhost, but if it's something you'd want to put in prod fairly quickly, I'd go with Firebase.
