Reminds me of Albert Fish.


The more I learn about that guy, the less I care for him.


I don't know, but it will always be "vyte".


Because vite means fast in French, which is ironic because French is a well-documented waste of time.


I, too, experienced dry eyes and found it challenging to consciously blink regularly. A few years ago, someone gifted me one of these "3-D puzzles" (similar to this: https://www.amazon.ca/Bookend-Miniature-Bookshelf-Birthday-B...). I kept it on my desk and it helped me somewhat regulate my constant focus on the screen by prompting me to glance at it occasionally. That's just something that worked for me.


You're not alone. I've seen it on my account, and all I watch is old jazz stuff and nothing else. My wife's account who just watches mostly bakery has been getting these cartoon or AI generated "child slavery" depictions.


Do you have history enabled?


Read the rest of the responses here. It's not history.


I have, and I'm not convinced history doesn't play a role.

No need to be rude about it.


I'm sorry if I came off as rude, but "your holding it wrong" doesn't exactly engineer civility.


If I've ever watched one of those type of videos it's so far back in my history that I can't find it any more, as in years in the past.


Is there an alternative scheme that allows the different parties to enter their own password?


Symmetrically encrypt their share with the chosen password.


Not with passwords of their choice.

You could use SSS in combination with BIP to derive a set of 12 or 24-word passphrases, this might be a bit more user friendly.



can you give more information please?


BIP39 is the Bitcoin standard which defines the process to generate the human readable "recovery phrase" for a Bitcoin wallet based on the private key. It's a list of 2048 pre-defiend words. Your private key is chunked into 11bit groups (with a few bits for a checksum) and then assigned the corresponding word.


You could just take the result of running their chosen passwords through the algorithm and use that as the decryption key.


Same experience here. However, I regret getting the 512GB drive option. I'm constantly monitoring my disk space as I do work and personal stuff on the same machine. Like I build Docker images as part of work and have to regularly purge out old images. Good thing macOS intelligently makes space (I have about 250GB in the Photos library) so I also get a random free 10GB from time to time.



Sergiy Brin sold his Tesla stock to fund a new nonprofit group.


It sounded like he was developing a new, more magnanimous electric car.

I wasn't sure how cars can be magnanimous or selfless, but I was prepared for the article to explain. Maybe it reads you Shel Silverstein books while you drive.


Seems a bit tabloid-y for Bloomberg. It's got all the hallmarks of a daily mail front page, except for a rhyme.

* Alliterative "billionaire brin"

* Grammatically inexact reference to a polarizing company/product.

* Pun on "giving vehicle" to refer to a nonprofit organization.


Geek Chic: Billionaire Brin Sold Tesla Near Peak for New Giving Vehicle


Thank you. I had a hard time parsing the title.


The title in question is (in case HN changes it): "Billionaire Brin Sold Tesla Near Its Peak for New Giving Vehicle"

The only meaning I managed to parse for vehicle was an electric car, such confusing title indeed


I assumed insider information was going on, but instead it seems like a coincidence once you read it. It is very tabloid-y.


I usually buy both an e-book and a paper version of books I want to learn from. Most of my reading is done on the paper one. I like to re-read certain chapters or sections at really random times and places so that's where the e-book comes in. It's a more pricey scheme but I find it really helpful for me.


I use PhotoSync on my iPhone to copy the original photos from iCloud to my Mac.

Then I have two 5TB LaCie Rugged drives that I just attach to the Mac. Finally, using ChronoSync to schedule copying contents from the Mac to both drives as mirrors.
