I'd rather them be digging up ancient artifacts quietly, than the planned loud construction that was going to be going on instead

The first metro line in Thessaloniki, Greece, planned to open next month, started construction 20 years ago. It took so long because (among other things) they kept bumping onto archeological sites. They have uncovered 130000 archeological finds so far.

I change the setting for the torch to only turn on with a long press, never turn it on by accident anymore


12% chance of global EMP sounds pretty high, no?


AWS and GCP are giving companies like Apple huge discounts so someone could say something like, "Even Apple iCloud is in AWS and GCP because of how economical it is"

There is too much nuance to say one is better than the other. In some cases using a IaaS is more economical, in other cases it's not.

For Apple, the same is also true[0] to say "Even Apple is running their own datacenters because of how economical it is"

You know everyone gets those discounts right? Like that's why the cloud is so much more economical than a datacenter, once you are at scale AWS will give you MASSIVE (I'm talking 30-60% discounts) on compute and other compute-adjacent resources, and I've seen 99% discounts on bandwidth with multi year agreements too.

I think that's where the disconnect is, a lot of people don't actually realize how cheap cloud compute is because they're only seeing the price for like... 20-30 servers and some basic S3 or load balancer usage. There are entire departments at Amazon that run those numbers on a daily basis to make sure AWS is always competitive with building your own datacenter.



Looks great, but I'm bashing my head trying to figure out what the r means in kr8s?


Nothing, they want it pronounced like "kraits". A krait is a type of sea snake, and Python is snake-themed.



As someone that only uses YTTV to watch sportss, pecifically NFL Redzone, F1, and baseball/basketball playoffs, I really enjoy YTTV interface because it always knows what I'm going to YTTV for. Very rarely do I need to click more than 2 buttons to get to the thing I'm trying to watch


Fun fact, the home page shows a few places, these are called Ducks in architecture [0]. When I found out about Ducks, I've been pretty obsessed about them, and call them out anytime I see one. My favorite one that I found was a tooth at Mexico City Dentist [1]

I like the Oracle buildings in California designed to look like UML databases. https://maps.app.goo.gl/U7TWkc5mrQMGzkgY6


Unrelated but LOL, you really cannot place a bicycle lane better and more inviting.. and it ends just in the nowhere into a giantic crossing.

"Its a trap" comes to mind. (:


And the airport closest to Oracle is SQL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Carlos_Airport_(California...


Look at the right side of that pond. They have a racing yacht on display.


Wow, driven by there several times, I never noticed that!


After knowing the term about this I immediately thought of the famous Tea Pot in Sharjah that I visit, here it is https://www.google.com/maps/@25.3361392,55.3870049,3a,75y,22...


Nice! That's a good one!


Here's an office shaped like a huge ship, for a seafood wholesaler.

Not really the same, cool none the less. A duck is a building built in the shape related to the business they are in. If the ships were their offices, then it would be a duck.


Thanks for teaching me something new today. Wonder if there were a subreddit for these - there should be!


I have never found one


I've tried a lot the password safes/vaults, and none of them work nearly as well as Chrome/Googles password manager

You can even use it on iOS, and even use it by default. Even apples Keychain password manager works pretty well if you're all in on apple ecosystem. Only reason I see why you would not use it is if you're not using Chrome or Safari, which is most people.

Yeah, yeah, google evil


The risk there is more you accidentally make a bad comment on YouTube and Google bans your account, I think. I have no idea if I'd still be able to access my passwords if that happens. At least, personally I feel Google deciding to disallow me from logging in is more likely than Google losing my passwords.


That is only a risk for syncing, you would still still have your passwords locally saved


Is there a local UI to view/export your passwords? The only one I'm aware of is https://passwords.google.com but it's been a long time since I've used a builtin browser password manager.

also- does Google (or other browser devs) release information on how they keep your passwords secure? Is it even E2EE?


> Is there a local UI to view/export your passwords?

chrome://settings/passwords


Yes, no need to use the web, all done from the browser.

To your second question, I don't know, but thats only a concern if you export your passwords


Are you sure? Chrome could very well lock you out.


Never heard that happen, if you are worried about that, do a daily, weekly, monthly export


I personally know at least one person who had his Google account locked with no explanation.


That's not linked to what's local in your Chrome browser


How would I do that securely?


Chromes password manager used to be as safe as a text file on your desktop. Have they fixed it?


If someone has access to my desktop I've already been compromised enough to not care.


That's not really true. Password managers should be, and good ones are, way more safe than that.


Do you run npm or maven on your machine?


Passwords are encrypted, you need to use your computers password to download them decrypted


I think there are two options in Chrome's password manager. One is to decrypt with the computer's password. The other is to use your Google account authentication for decryption.


After years (a decade+?) of holding out on password managers I finally gave bitwarden a shot (based on recommendations here), and was able to import ~900 logins from google chrome.

Their UI in the chrome extension (brave browser actually) for changing/editing logins could use a little work, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. I even bit the bullet and now have passwords I don't actually know involved in everyday life. Irritatingly, uploading a video from GeForce's live capture to youtube - despite logging in with 2fa - caused a security freakout at google and now I was forced to change my gmail password.

But I digress, bitwarden even integrates with iOS's login management as another option to Apple's, though irritatingly not on OS X.


Yes, I got on the trusted riders list. I usually only use ride shares to go to the airport, and sadly it doesn't go there yet, so I've only used it a few times
