It is interesting because currently the built-in Apple VPN client in both, OS X and iOS, does not support IKEv2. Well, iOS 8 has support for it but not through the GUI. OS X only supports L2TP/IPsec and Cisco IPsec (both IKEv1). Cisco IPsec is just plain IPsec, using IKE(v1) to establish the tunnel.
The author of this project notes, "Freenet is stillborn."

I agree. And it's pretty obvious the reason why is that Freenet presents itself as a web server. Any privacy project packaged as a web app is doomed. The local web app is a shitty interface. If Freenet had an interface more like Bittorrent, its fate may have been different.

There is a market for appliances sporting web interfaces, but that's only because it's the cheapest way to have a graphical interface that's cross platform. Only technical people use such things, and even they have to want the benefits of the appliance pretty badly to put up with the hassle of deployment. The average consumer will never touch that crap, and I don't blame them.

You mention consumer routers. Yes, those are appliances with web interfaces. But the benefit of deploying one is ACCESS TO THE INTERNET! That's a pretty compelling reason. Even if LookingGlass was sold pre-configured like a router, it's not even close to compelling enough to gain traction.

Besides how inconvenient the web appliance is to use, it's also pretty weak from a security perspective. You want to have all the encryption happening as close to the endpoints as possible. To reduce attack surface it's also best that the architecture is as simple as possible, with minimal dependencies. The LookingGlass approach follows neither of those best practices. The project even recommends deployment behind a firewall.

I don't want to shit on LookingGlass here. I haven't looked too hard at it and I support any experimentation with new protocol ideas in this space.

It's just that to be successful it needs to be natively written for every platform, especially the mobile ones. Making the core implementation portable by using C or C++ is acceptable. Just getting it going on Linux and asking users to run a server - especially a physical server - is totally not.
What are people's thoughts/experiences with burnout happening without overtime? Over the past few years I've grown more and more bored at work. Even switching jobs from different ends of the spectrum didn't fix this. I can get myself into flow but it seems to take more and more will power as time goes on. Different tech challenges help, but it's nothing like my halcyon days of straight out of college. Of coming into work and just doing the job and enjoying it with no use of will power. I go home and then fight to do the "bare minimum", read, exercise, eat healthy, minimal home chores and decent sleep. I've wondered if having a home hobby would help but I have none. I feel like "burnout" describes where I'm at, but I have a hard time stating it as fact because I rarely work over 40hrs a week on the job. So, thoughts? Could I actually be in a burnout phase or is this something completely different?
Ouch! That is a very big deal.
But realistically, the 2 are intrinsically linked. I'd be interested in something like this that actually did something about piracy. I've built the systems myself, so I know it can be done, but it's annoying to maintain.

Causality is a bit harder to integrate with current machine learning models as it's hard even with standard probabilistic graphical models. On the other hand, there has been a lot of work integrating deep neural networks with probabilistic models.

For example, the variational auto-encoders are a graphical model with Gaussian latent variables whose mean and variance are determined by (deep) neural networks [1]. There has been work exploring the neural network weights as latent variables themselves [2]. Finally, some new developments such as dropout can be interpreted as some form of deep Gaussian processes [3].

I believe there will be a lot further developments on this area in the near-future.

Products should be made of programs. Programs should be able to be simple enough to be "complete" while how they get built, replaced, planned, and orchestrated however, is free to be as fluid as the problem to be solved.

Many systems tried to be this, but people too frequently side-step these solutions for decomposition because they aren't complete enough. Unix wasn't enough, now we have Docker, etc.

OOP tries to achieve this from a different level on the inside of complex systems, but still falls short. (e.g. you have to do IPC or have a message-passing VM where objects~=processes to be able to do live code replacement and allow multiple independently-developed implementations of the same concept to run simultaneously and collect behavior on which does a better job, so this type of thing is not common.)

It'd be nice if the progress towards building smaller systems that avoid complexity begins to outpace the progress toward building larger systems which defend against complexity within my lifetime, but I can't say I'm hopeful.

Intuitively I'd say a human pairing socks is far better than O(n2) because finding something that matches a given sock is close to O(1) on small sets.
How is that stealing? Somebody made a decision to sell an item for 5 gold , with multiple steps at which they had to confirm that that is what they wanted to do. If buying mispriced items is stealing then I guess everyone who attends car boot sales to buy things that are worth a lot for close to nothing is a thief.
Well, then how will everyone know I am crazy rich and they should be jealous?

Seriously, I wonder if there have been any studies to the "perception" of the material. For example, does a natural, scarce material "seem" to be better to people than a synthetic.

For example, it take high-end analysis to tell the difference between natural and man-made diamonds, but there is a perceived higher quality to the natural diamonds. Nature's mystique, if you will ...

Seriously, the complete hypocrisy of your comment is too big to actually be true.

So, we are a bunch of xenophobes because we are concerned about people that clearly have social norms that are against our most basic principles of freedom are entering our countries.

But when 62% of Muslims already living in Germany say they want to live only next to other Muslims then, you don't see a problem there and claim they are perfectly integrated.

Seriously, you took hypocrisy to an all new level with that comment.

If we say: We want to live only next to other people that share the basics of European culture = we are a bunch of racist pigs. If they say: We want to live only next to Muslims = nothing to see here, just perfectly integrated and westernised Muslims.
My current working theory on that is we always want what we don't have. For people who value their free time, rarely working over 40hrs a week is a dream. When they achieve that dream, suddenly they realize they want to be working less than that, and 40hrs becomes a drain and no longer the energizing freedom it may have been initially.

Just a theory.

Personally, I get bored with my current "life" from a given point in time, and need to radically change an aspect of it to add that excitement and focus back to it. Doesn't always go as planned though.

But as you get older, I find people in general get tired of the same bullshit that keeps popping up at job after job, and that almost never goes away.

> replacing HTTP URLs for naming content is necessary and nearly sufficient

It depends what you replace them with. I quickly skimmed your essays looking for any proposals, but didn't quite see anything.

The obvious thing is Freenet-style public signing keys, but while this helps decentralize distribution (a boon to a person who wishes to publish anonymously - upload and run), the standard centralized naming hierarchy will form, at least for introduction.

The well-known "HNS" /com/ will just be 8b844459891e8f1840bfc4200e758483 instead of the DNS 192.5.6.30 (a.gtld-servers.net). Likewise, after introduction a discussion board would be known as 659f177ebea794e4e74f0708d832f65e (even if it is Petnamed) instead of news.ycombinator.com.

Public signatures are simply one layer and not the full solution, in the same sense that hash trees of immutable content are only one part.

What is important is forking, which relies on the ability for differing forks to be intelligently reconciled in an automated fashion. I should be able to use a version of "HN" where a specific user is/isn't banned, and still communicate with you (presuming that you want to, rather than whoever is running the popular "HN" aggregation node), even if you yourself are using a third version.

I think it ultimately comes down to the data model supporting some concept of "merge points" rather than strict top-down immutability/persistence. With these merge points and rules specified by the endpoints' schemas according to the users' desires. But it's awfully hard thinking about this stuff since I also keep seeing how any specific approach can calcify and turn into similar prescriptive monoliths as we have today.
You've once again avoided giving even a qualitative answer as to what strain caused by immigration would look like. A first step would be admitting that it's even possible.

You've also made the mistake of thinking that just because you've found one problem that others must not exist. We can have broken systems and problems caused by immagration.

10% ESL students in our public education system should qualify as a strain. 17% of California's prisoners being born abroad should qualify as a strain. Are these numbers not high enough for you? If not, what does too high look like to you?

as truly world-changing as [...] electric vehicles

EVs have been around for a long long time, commercially, and conversions. I'm glad tesla is doing what they are, but world-changing seems like a stretch to me.

Anecdotally, I've heard from employees that Tesla is having attrition issues, so apparently not. They've recently added a few minor perks to try and keep engineers.
Amusing advice from this article:

> If you want a job done find the busiest person you know and give them an extra job. This is because the reason they are busy is that lots of people want them to do things because they are good at doing things and that’s why they are busy.
Umm, does anybody else cringe at the public documentation of this person's problems? The author hasn't spoken to her brother since 2013 -- so how does she know he wants his problems to be made public to all the world? She even gave his full name.
What about American Express? They're doing pretty well. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use Discover, so I don't know how much competition they really provide.
It seems that not all shows will be commercial free, however.
I understand that they must have special arrangements with those producers, but it feels very odd.

Will all shows and movies be commercial free?

In response to feedback from our viewers,
we started offering a commercial-free experience
on Hulu. For a small number of shows, however, we
have not obtained the rights to stream commercial
free and they are not included in our No Commercials
plan. You can still easily access these shows with
short commercial before and after each episode with no
interruptions during the episode. Specific shows that
still have commercials accessible through the No Commercials
plan will be noted throughout the signup, switching, and
playback experience. While the list of shows may change,
these shows are currently: Grey’s Anatomy, Once Upon A
Time, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Scandal, Grimm,
New Girl, and How To Get Away With Murder.
Your explanation of D/A Counselors sounds about right. Its strange that doesn't seem true in the other "helping" professions.

Its weird, I've met a lot of social workers and many are just people good at helping other people. I've also met social workers that went into social work to save themselves. They were more screwed up then anyone they would likely meet in the course of their work. I think I've met the poster child for "why you shouldn't go into social work if...".
I already had a wordlist on my computer, ‘enable1.txt’. I fired up IRB (Ruby) in the console and ran

Sure you can, and that behaviour is rather mainstream by now, but it wasn't long ago it was considered very egoistical.

Every time you install an app and you agree to upload your contact list to someone? That data was not yours to share.

Every time you put a little tracking script on your web page in exchange for traffic graphs it is your customers data you sell. Not your.

Every time you email me everything I write ends up indexed under my email address, to be sold to another company and cross referenced. I didn't agree to this.

That like button you put up that reports all your visitors behaviours? Not your data.
I personally find myself going through this with most aspects of my life. I have lulls at work where I'm less than 100% excited about the work at hand, and then after a while I'm back in top shape, but I now find it normal when the lulls occur.

It happens to me for most other hobbies as well. I enjoy working out a lot, but there are times where I just don't feel super excited about it, for like lets say a month or so, and I have to put in a lot of will-power to get to the gym. So I do basically what you do here as well, try different kind of workouts, etc., with varying results and that helps sometimes.

I think at the end of the day it's really hard to maintain that level of passion for something that you do day in day out. You just have to accept the downtime and know that it will pass in a bit. At least that's my take on it.

Edit: right after I posted I was reminded of a quote lifters use often: "motivation gets you in the gym, as it's fleeting, but discipline keeps you coming back". I think the same applies here, to some extent.
No, it doesn't. This issue is not technology to store and search data from the client. The point is not wanting to download everything to every client in the first place.

I'm curious if Cloudflare takes the torch on this, considering their acumen at running a CDN.
There is no way whatsoever that you're getting my name or email address by some third party serving your ad to me, unless I happen to end up voluntarily filling those details in on your web property. Which I probably won't do, unless you have something I actually want, and I trust you. That's the difference. That and the fact that if you publish your "the small fraction of people on $EMBARRASSINGTHIRDPARTYSERVICE's mailing list which clicked through to my landing page and filled out my webform" list without me having opted to allow you to share the information you'll find yourself in a courtroom.

You have clearly never dealt with a spider mite invasion.

They. Are. Everywhere.

They routine infest indoor houseplants, even in places you wouldn't expect. They'd find their way into a roof garden. And because most predators require a wider range than most prey, there may not be as many natural predators available.

Commercial greenhouse growers definitely try to isolate their plants from invasion, but still rely on pest control when the inevitable happens.
Thanks so much for the feedback :) I do understand the lack of details above the fold... I will add more details and maybe have a few examples of what is possible.
It is the one way to eliminate the problem of matching socks after laundry.
This makes a tacit assumption about roof loading, which, by default, cannot support the load of an aquaponics installation (the logical choice). The ability to source some greens locally is useful, but as many have pointed out the win comes when you can locally source something like rice or beans. The water requirements for rice make it especially heavy on a per square foot basis. The folks in Watsonville [1] were trying it on flat ground first, it doesn't seem they were successful [2]

As I explained elsewhere in this thread, the special relativity theory is a direct consequence of all the experimental evidence that existed on the electromagnetic phenomena. Formally merging Maxwell theory with the classical mechanics yields special relativity.

General relativity is an application of a well known extrapolation heuristics - the simplest possible generalisation of a model. The other possible generalisations were much more complex, and the nature for some reason tend to favour simplicity, so it was reasonable to go that way (as well as it is very reasonable now to go out and test all the possible extensions of the Standard Model, starting with the simplest ones).
While this might not be the right thing to say, I feel compelled to say it nevertheless: nothing can hurt you unless you give it power to do so.

When I was in the heat of it and naturally did not want to work, I eventually reached a place of working zen -- I will try to do what I can, and forget about my imagined needs of this or that. I simply stared at the screen if I didn't know the buttons to press. This is the experience that I am proud of and that makes me say "I'm happy I went through that."

Too often, we mistake our own fears for limitations, and limitations we do have, we treat as if they were unmalleable. While I always want people to look out for their mental health, I also want people to know what it means to give it their all because I know that teaches you how to break through your self-imposed limitations and grow into an even stronger wo/man.

My advice is to always keep one day for yourself. For me, it's Sunday. Sunday, if I want to work, I work (and when it's that way, work doesn't always feel like work). If I don't want to work, no one can say anything. This gives you time to not think at all about work, which should give you time to stay in system 1 and heal.

What's a real killer is all that unnecessary anxiety and general negative emotions coming from _thinking_ about your work that is hurting you. When you're away from work, stop thinking about work. It's not prudent or responsible of you to be stressing out about something that isn't even going on right now. When it's time to rest, you rest. When it's time to work, you work. It seems simple, but it's the blurred gray area in between the two that affects people the most. When I worked very hard and hit my "work zen mode", it was here that I began to let go of things like what does my boss think or what does my coworker think or some other-nonsense-BS-anxious-thing that has nothing to do with actual work.

I hope it helps. I'm really no huge expert myself, but I am usually the hardest person in the room.
