Given that our beige computing boxes used to be out of date within two years, I'd say six years for a phone is good going. Time to get a new iPhone.
Super-corporations are now just the next rung down, adopting all the habits of their superior, but without the responsibilities.

I think this view has been quite comprehensively debunked by now. I for one do not want to live in a country where most people have access to handguns.
Field 10: "genpw": "Is an auto-saved generated password". Good for deciding whether to brute force or not.
Yikes. I can't imagine why anyone would trust Lastpass after this.
So a hacker would have to get hold of the encrypted data, together with the secret key for each account. The secret key isn't stored by 1Password, requiring the hacker to brute force it. However, each key provides 128 bits of entropy, which makes it infeasible to brute force with current technology.

I did consider creating another "gym-only" user on our Family plan, but Spotify should really have a way to create named contexts for the one user. e.g. commute, gym, run, working from home, on a plane, etc.
Even TED has removed her talk from YouTube. What responsibility do the media bear when their shallow hype turns out to be false and damaging to all parties?
However, it's a charge card and not a credit card, so it does need to be paid off in full every month.
So preëmptible VMs are still supported but may now cost as much as 40% of non-preëmptible VMs, "to reflect the supply-demand dynamics of Compute Engine’s excess capacity." That's quite a big change from the current pricing structure.
I have a feeling this may be a feature of American fine dining. In Michelin-starred restaurants in the UK and France, I've found the service to be very discreet but immediately present when you need it. Certainly no introducing of names, or unrequested stories.
An amusing example was a lunch at Apicius in Paris, where we were offered an aperitif on the terrace. Having enjoyed our tipple, we then waited for someone to come and seat us. An hour later, a curious staff member stuck their head outside and asked whether we are ready to dine. I don't think it occurred to them to usher us around and we were free to time everything to our leisure. Moreover, on our next visit the same maitre d' remembered our preferred drinks and suggested talking to the chef to reconfigure the tasting menu with dishes we didn't have previously -- with two years between the visits.
