I don't understand how HN can complain about Google sucking up data and rarely if ever mention LassPass's terms of service which basically flat out state they share your info to marketers. Effectively they appear to be making money by looking at all the sites you log into via LassPass. If you're using their browser plugin I can only guess, given their Terms of Service, that they're spying on all pages, not just pages you're getting a password via their service for. Though even selling the info of which services you're using is bad enough.

Sure, they have a free plan and so you are not the customer. Why do they get a pass?

Note: I have no proof they are spying. I only have the fact that their TOS points to their privacy policy and their privacy policy says they can collect pretty much anything you'd expect software to be able to collect and that they can share that info with whoever they decide to partner with.

Contrast to some other password managers that stay flat out, they don't collect your data and don't want to know it.

From their Privacy Policy

> 1. Information We Collect and Receive

> Service Data (including Session and Usage data):

> When you use our Services, we receive information generated through the use of the Service, either entered by you or others who use the Services with you (for example, schedules, attendee info, etc.), or from the Service infrastructure itself, (for example, duration of session, use of webcams, connection information, etc.) We may also collect usage and log data about how the services are accessed and used, including information about the device you are using the Services on, IP addresses, location information, language settings, what operating system you are using, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data ...

> Third Party Data: We may receive information about you from other sources, including publicly available databases or third parties from whom we have purchased data, and combine this data with information we already have about you. We may also receive information from other affiliated companies that are a part of our corporate group. This helps us to update, expand and analyze our records, identify new prospects for marketing, and provide products and services that may be of interest to you.

> Location Information: We collect your location-based information for the purpose of providing and supporting the service and for fraud prevention and security monitoring. If you wish to opt-out of the collection and use of your collection information, you may do so by turning it off on your device settings.

> Device Information: When you use our Services, we automatically collect information on the type of device you use, operating system version, and the device identifier (or "UDID").

That's pretty much everything given they put an extension in your browser and can collect all of that info for every page you visit

> 4. Information Sharing

> ... We may share your personal information with (a) third party service providers; (b) business partners; (c) affiliated companies within our corporate structure

Why would anyone want a password manager with this privacy policy?

You can't have HTTPS everywhere until we can get HTTPS for IoT devices. My router doesn't serve it's configuration screen via HTTPS. How could it? I have to connect to it to configure it before it's on the internet.

Same with my IoT cameras and all the various local apps I run that can start a web server. Heck, my iPhone has tons of apps that start webservers for uploading data since iPhone's file sync sucks so bad.

We need a solution to HTTPS for devices inside home networks.

what is about that site's low contrast. My eyes can barely focus

Horrible idea

An answer will already decay naturally if it goes out of date as people will downvote it for being wrong. There are plenty of relevent 10yr old questions and answers. Decaying old answers will just make good info harder to find.

imo they should get rid of the gamification. change the upvote to a "thanks" button and don't so the totals

I am curious how hard a problem it is for the system to figure out what side of the road the driver should be on. Could they put a little arrow or something in the UX so I could point to which side of the street I'm on? Ideally before I order the car so the dispatch algo can prioritize cars that are more likely to approach from the correct side.

If the street is busy it can be hard as a pedestrian to safely get to the other side of the street. I've also had drivers just go the wrong way like I was standing between Gough and and Octavia on Market maybe 10-15meters from Gough. The driver came down Gough and turned left on Market at which point I knew it would be > 10 minutes before they could make all the correct turns to get back to pick me up. I cancel the ride and was surprised the system didn't direct them better.

Quora ... :(

I loved reading OkCupid's Blog but it rarely matched my experience with the site and the conclusions they reached almost always had other plausible explanations.

There once was a "smart" structured drawing program called Aldus Intellidraw

Japanese culture has used symbols (not kanji, more like dingbats) for at least 20 years if not 30 to 35. They use them in business documents all the time. The most common are probably ●○◎■□▲△▼△. In fact like in the USA a generic name might be "Smith" in Japanese they often using 〇〇さん.

Further, they've been using emoji for the last 20 years. So telling them they can't is basically telling all of Japan they're 2nd class. Their standards and ways of communicating don't matter. Lots of programmers from cultures where emoji and symbols were not in common use dismiss them because in their culture they were not in common use just a few years ago but other cultures have been using them much much longer. As such, banning them is unintentionally racist.

If I want to run porn apps on my VR devices what right does FB have to vacuum up that knowledge? If the porn app has a specific sexual orientation why should Facebook get to know that?

Facebook should not be collecting this data IMO. Microsoft and Apple should be working to make it impossible to collect and governments should work to make it illegal to collect and extremely high fines if caught collecting.

You can add in Fast and Furious 6+ (lol)

Users don't care about most of this. Custom colors? Tell that to Apple's customers who seems to have no problem using a non-customizable OS. Running on obscure hardware configurations? Users don't have those, programmers do. Company branding? That's not a user request. Touch gestures? Who made this up? Not users.
