Really interesting development approach here. On unix, this depends on _one_ crate: libc. That crate is just a bunch of wrappers for libc. Absolutely everything else is implemented in the project itself. This is kind of baffling - they have their own everything (from base64 library to a cross platform terminal handling system) instead of using well-proven crates like termios. Why? I don't know. But very unusual in the rust world

It is absolutely accepted in microeconomics, where one can assume that preferences are exogenous to the model (that is: not affected by changing the model's variables).

In macroeconomics it is not so simple, because the effects of a higher price for labor are felt all over the economy, leading to feedbacks that might increase overall employment. The Ford wage increase to increase demand for Ford's products is often cited - because there is a multiplier effect from economic activity even a single firm can theoretically benefit from handing out more money to its employees.

There are also arguments from near term versus long term. In the long term, economies with no access to very cheap labor feel more pressure to robotize production, leading to higher productivity and more production overall, and also might lead to a better educated workforce by simply excluding below-minimum-wage productive labor from getting any jobs, and therefore push some of them to school. Those are short term costs that have proven to lead to long term gains.

But I do also think it's not very common to assume that higher minimum wages will lead to a net increase in employment. It is more common to argue that it will lead to a better outcome (for some definition of good) in the aggregate, _even if_ it might lead to some unemployment.

This depends on the threat model. Having 2FA in the PW manager defends against someone phishing the password and database leaks on the server side, which are the most common in my threat model. But note that if they can phish your pw, they can probably phish your 2FA as well.

It does obviously not protect against the scenario where someone is breaking into your password vault.

I tend to enable 2FA but conveniently save the token in the PW manager for relatively low equity stuff, just to make it less enticing for an attacker, but use hardware FIDO for everything actually important.
