Violently capitalist car.

Require the second factor for decrypting the vault. It seems the second factor is "removed" as soon as you cache the vault on your machine.

It doesn't need to be every password, just require 2FA to unlock the vault in the first place. Downloading the vault shouldn't strip one factor, but it seems like that is the implementation.

Sure, but I wouldn't expect the vault to be accessible without 2FA each time it is cached. 2FA should be used as part of the decryption process even if the vault is cached.

Seems like a broken 2FA implementation.

I hate the idea of government. It always gets too big.

This is awesome.

There's plenty of folks out there, doing creative work, using legacy systems, that don't receive security updates, because you used to own your software when you bought it.

Personally, I think we are about to see a huge resurgence in self hosting and returning to "old ways" that worked before subscriptions.

One great example of the anti-pattern: Look at how GitHub has shit the bed since MS bought them. Tons of QoL developer features were pushed behind the enterprise paywall, actions was constantly down and having issues, and they did not innovate anything.

Beware robber barons who innovate nothing and expect you to pay more.

> the purpose was to show that companies like Dow can’t be taken at their word when it comes to environmental initiatives

Did we really need this example to show it? Shoes?

Nestle is trying to buy all the water, maybe that would be a better place to focus.

> Without details

You'd think this small thread you replied to would be enough detail if you were willing to reply in the first place.

Look at my original post. Simply sharing my experience (which is on-topic). It currently sits at -3, while other comments praising moderation here are mostly positive. This is a pattern I am noticing across more than one thread, in more than one day, with more than one user. It's not an anomaly.

Replies to me are from folks lacking self-awareness, who think their experience somehow trumps or invalidates mine. Nobody is directly addressing my concerns. Just brushing them off and piling on.

You should recognize there is a growing majority at HN who perpetuate this "SV" flavor of culture, and you should recognize that your inability to scale efficiently is detrimental to the long term growth of HN. Ironically, against the users most willing to help you do better, you level threats publicly and cite HN rules as if they have any relevance.

Frankly, it seems you are blissfully unaware of how much of an echo chamber exists here, or that you are directly perpetuating it. It's concerning. Flagging comments and downvotes are actively abused for censorship, and you clearly have no idea how to fix it. You think the system is working, what if it has always been horribly broken...?

It's even more concerning that seemingly every other member at HN gets white glove treatment, yet I am still wondering when I will be treated like a human by the staff.

> When did I ever claim what I was describing was the majority?

When you said "I find those threads tend to be dominated by people who believe..."

> Of course what I was describing is a microcosm

Now you're contradicting yourself. Something that dominates cannot be described as a microcosm of the whole.

The left bias I describe _is_ what dominates most threads here. You can act like something doesn't exist, but it's not going to disappear from reality.

Is that why I shared the experience...? So randos can play jury?

Just look at how popular my original comment is. There's clearly a culture lean here and I'm not going to feed into it.

I'm going to call it out and laugh when I'm proven right.

> I find those threads tend to be dominated by people who believe vaccinations are fascism, masks don't work and Fauci and Biden cooked up COVID in Hunter's meth lab, which is currently a solidly right-wing stance. Elsewhere there are commenters calling transgendered people mentally ill pedophile groomers, or homosexuality a sin and threat to human survival, claiming systemic racial and gender bias is scientifically justified, insisting that certain races and religions, or states of the Union, simply cannot coexist, still calling Biden's election stolen, worshiping the glory of war in turning soft men hard and the purity of the free market in weeding the weak and lazy out of society, and ranting about wokist CRT cultural Marxists burning the world down.

It's funny because you're describing a microcosm of comments as if they are the majority, and ignoring legitimate critiques. I can't say I'm surprised your knee-jerk reaction is to defend the echo chamber, but here we are. Thanks for proving my point so quickly!

Robber barons have always shaped the world in mysterious ways that history does not fully grasp.

> Calling HN "left-wing" seems just staggeringly bizarre to me.

Is it? Find any thread about COVID-19, the opinions are staggeringly on the left.

I can come up with more examples. If you can't see the left lean you're more than likely part of it.

Like I said, I'm still waiting to experience it. As far as I can tell, most moderation of HN is done in public, not in private over email.

> My biggest issue is that controversial opinions are buried. It’s too easy for users to flag content they disagree with and then unflagging takes too long

The echo chamber is hard to miss when you see it, but it's pretty remarkable how rosy tinted some users view the site. Censorship exists in a real way here, and it suppresses the flow of information and ideas.

> All we have to lose is our chains. Instead, we polish them.

Is this your quote, or someone elses?

> often, they correspond with individual Hacker News readers over e-mail, coaching and encouraging them in long, heartfelt exchanges.

I think this is outdated, or flat out not true.

I have had particularly sour engagements with dang specifically. I asked him to reach out to me via email and he just kept pushing the matter in public.

Pretty poor handling all around, and completely lacking inclusivity or self-awareness for a "seasoned professional." I'm glad it's daisies and roses for most of you, but some of us have not seen such kindness. Ultimately you have to ask yourself if moderation has fostered an environment of growth and evolution, or an echo chamber. In my experience I have seen more of the latter on HN, and it's concerning.

Ten fucking pages!

I always thought salmonella risk came from poop that could be on the outer shell, so wash the eggs and you can safely eat them raw. Is this not true?

I guess this story is related to the egg beaters product becoming popular, since it was pasteurized.

I'm moving to a Mac Mini and an iPad Pro. More expensive? Maybe. I just don't need to carry around an extra keyboard, screen, and battery that could go bad. Tablets are so good these days that laptops make little sense IMO.

> Why did it not work out?

Software won, it seems.

> It basically just sounded like an early dial up modem transmitting data when you played it back as audio.

Modern synths still do this. The Korg Volca has a library for converting audio into white noise that reprograms/adds more samples.

Exceptions are not rules.

Perhaps you are just blind to the fact that I _offered_ to pay for anyone's Apple developer fees in a similar situation to yours.

Pretty ridiculous all around, you'll stay poor with a mindset like that.

Many of us saw this coming a year ago, when GitHub shoved a bunch of developer QoL features behind the enterprise tier and started having consistent downtime with actions.

Office culture matters a ton and greases the gears. What we had pre-pandemic was good enough, and required employees to show their employers they were capable of remote work. Now, the bar is lower... you tell me what that does to the quality of work over a long period.

> no alternative

20 years ago we didn't have app stores. I'm not sure where your level of entitlement comes from, Apple doesn't have to allow anonymous publishing and I fully understand why they have put reasonable barriers to entry into their ecosystem. You don't.

> It's about not gatekeeping the people who are future devs, wanting to learn, want to try making their own hobby apps to share with others, maybe prospective employers

I assure you that Apple and this developer program has very little do to with the barriers those folks face.

Apple's choices are specifically about security and longevity of the marketplace. You can disagree, but they don't owe anyone anything.
