Ask HN: How to have the privacy of a VPN without sacrificing speed?
Hello HN,

It seems like broadband keeps getting faster, whereas most VPN providers that I've tried max out around 100mbit/sec.

I was wondering how most of you with fast connections solve this?

I tried shadowsocks on a VPS and it maxed out my connection at 300mbit/s. However, it is my understanding that using your own VPS is less anonymous.

I've been brainstorming about this for many months but cant seem to find a solution.

Hope you guys can help!

Thanks!
I also said this in response to another post, but I thought it would be good to highlight here:

You don't generally want your infrastructure at max load all the time. You pathways that aren't heavily used so that, if the heavily trafficked area becomes blocked, traffic can redirect to the alternate path without becoming a complete mess.

Besides, just because it is not being employed to serve commuter traffic does not mean it is not being employed. As other people have pointed out: kids often play in the streets. I think this is a good thing, and I think making it safe to be out in your street makes it easier to connect with your neighbors helps foster a sense of community.

Putting houses on courts/circles helps with this, because then it eliminates through traffic, but it isn't always possible.
There were laws restricting immigration from non-white countries.
I think people are talking about how there should be basic income so they can innovate freely without having to fear decimating the economic lives of others.
He worked 80 hours a week. In SF, you can make up to $3000 in one week driving for Lyft.

Well, it's not compressed, it's generated.
You could generate an endless video with less code, but it would most likely be uninteresting. Scene demos are interesting because it's art and direction and music generated from algorithms rather than creating those things and compressing them efficiently.

But, yes, at some level there is an idea of a dna seed and a process to create something much more profound, we as humanity haven't come close to cracking that, though.
Yes, as the article points out, please do not use biohazard, radiation, or high voltage warning symbols on decorative objects.
It was more a comment on discipline. And selling small amounts of weed is hardly equated with "drug dealing".

Again, the point was the will to do it not necessarily how he did it.
I'm always impressed by attempts to empirically answer questions which typically receive less rigorous research, and the log-relationship and plateau of income vs happiness both bear out my personal experience.

However, I specifically asked about retirement because it shares some interesting characteristics with your supported findings.

A) Retirement accounts are intangible. I may receive pleasure and happiness from imagining the money I have in them, but believe it would be a hard case to make that I received true happiness from increasing them

B) Enabling retirement would seem to dovetail with the plateau effect. To wit, if I make $40k now, but am unable to save enough to make $40k in retirement, my happiness would plummet if I ever retired. If I make $60k now and save enough to provide $40k worth of retirement income, then my happiness would be substantially improved. Therefore that +$20k has a secondary effect of making me much happier later in life

I doubt it would change the findings, but if true, might shift the numbers a bit.
If my 30 second video of my 1yo son dancing to Call Me Maybe doesn't get taken down, think of all the revenue that the RIAA/Carly Rae Jepson will lose! Instead of paying $0.99 on iTunes, they'll be able to come watch my video five times and get the same enjoyment.

Bear in mind, these are the same people who tried to argue that 30 second ring tones are a public performance and wanted royalties from them.
Yes because selling $50 worth of weed is equal to a federal crime like counterfeiting.

You seem like someone who has little life experience.
160k isn't salary, it's total comp. A conservative Google new grad salary is going to be $110k + 35k in GSU/yr + 15K annual bonus (not including signing bonus). Many negotiate an extra 15-20k in GSU/yr.

220k is perhaps on the lower side for senior, maybe closer to 250k is on target. $140k at Google plus 90k in GSU/yr + 20k annual bonus. Could be much higher though.

It is also important to note that years 2,3,4 at Google are going to likely result in stock top ups and comp will skyrocket, but I was largely referring to starting salaries here.

Edit: Also, as mentioned I'm a young Senior. Google isn't likely going to bring me in at level 4.
“With Planner, we improved collaboration by about 20 percent..." The units aren't mentioned, so I'm assuming it's the just standard units (collabotrons)
Is it really faster to do a whole FIN / ACK / FIN / ACK / SYN / SYNACK / ACK every N bytes? How much does this sort of traffic shaping typically throttle, and how long does it typically give a connection?

Can this be easily parallelized? I'll bet it could.
Trying to save privacy is like trying to save horses for transportation, or bows and arrows for warfare.
We should figure out how to build a society that thrives on transparency instead!
wow, this is super interesting. I have actually used telnet and the telnet simulator. i think there used to be an old bbs or game online that was before my time that was still hooked up and one where you voild telnet in and play the oregon trail.

thanks for the info.
Thank you. That is very helpful.

As time unfortunately is in short supply, it seems like it will probably make the most sense for me to just jump right into QA/testing and go from there.
great thanks. ill check out keras.io seems perf. cheers

If parent hadn't combined JSX and React, you'd have a fair point. However, JSX can stand alone, and that would also be my technology of choice.
You can't, not easily at least. You used to be able to, but now Chrome addons need to have a valid signature from Google unless you have your users extract them, enable dev mode and install from the extracted directly and tolerate a warning that they're in dev mode every time their browser starts.
Musk is a tangable asset to Tesla. A Hostile takeover would be a real bad idea IMHO
Disagree. Working for yourself would provide none of these but allows you to create all/many of these out of your sheer will. These things are not a pre-condition.
I think this is an important area of research and it's great to see you trying to summarize the research in a digestible manner for people to apply but my impression from this article and other material I've read is that there's still a lot more work to do to tease out correlation and causation and translate the research into actionable advice.

For example, assuming that 'Work that helps others' is actually causative (and not that happier people tend to choose that work), what are the identifying characteristics of that type of work? What makes midwifery (from the article) more satisfying than say serving in a restaurant? Both appear to help others. Is it the magnitude of the help? The degree of personal engagement?

How can someone better identify 'Work you're good at'? Again, assuming it is causative (and not that happier people rate their own competency higher), how can someone effectively identify their comparative advantage? Presumably for career choice there is a strong effect of demand vs. supply in skills - I can be 'good' at snowboarding by most people's standards but have no chance of making a career at it. The advice on its own is not very actionable.

The article makes a common conflation of high achieving individuals with work satisfaction and yet the two do not necessarily match up (do we know that Steve Jobs and Einstein were more satisfied with their lives than average?) and these two examples from the article seem to not fit the 'Work that's engaging' criteria of 'Clear tasks, with a clearly defined start and end.' or 'Feedback, so you know how well you’re doing.', at least in the short to medium term.

Like I say, I think this type of research is valuable but I find little that is clearly actionable in my own life, with the exception of simple things like 'avoid long commutes' and from elsewhere in the happiness literature 'spend on experiences rather than things'.
Great thing about Vegas is that there's not really any rush hour during the day. Only party-rush-hour at night.
Since when was it required for someone to explicitly state "the purpose of this website is to commit this civil/criminal offence" for a court to rule that a website owner is intentionally committing or assisting in an offence? I mean, if it calls itself the Pirate Bay and publicly refuses to remove references to pirated material on request (whilst pruning links to fake torrents) it's pretty difficult to take seriously an argument that the preponderance of references to pirated material is merely incidental.

If the alternative is sitting in stop and go traffic, it's not obvious to me that one is worse than the other...
Comcast had a feature called "Powerboost" (http://www.dslreports.com/faq/14520) that would let you burst up 100mbit or something for the first 20MB of a file. I'm not sure if this is still being offered, but I bet it would be awesome with Hellcat.

Man, that quote jumped out at me instead. You'd think they could apply some rigor and add a few decimal places rather than saying "about". Or that perhaps the marketing manager who wrote the release would realize how stupid that quote sounds.

"The supposed point is to make sure American companies can compete."

I don't really care about this, either. I care more about American people than American companies. Companies, American or otherwise, are doing fine.
It doesn't necessarily provide those things certainly. But inasmuch as it makes people fulfilled, it will mostly be because working for yourself is providing those things. :)
If N is large enough, maybe.

However this assumes that the state of the traffic shaping system is per connection. If it's per site<>client or just client<>net over a duration then this wouldn't help.

Reminds me a lot of hierarchical token bucket filters and letting clients burst over their normal allocation as long as there was spare bandwidth (then squeezing them when others woke up and wanted to use bandwidth as well).
I believe robertwiblin et al.'s point is that ceteris paribus working for yourself that features these characteristics will make you happier than working for yourself and focusing on other things.

In the original article, they clearly identify that some things (e.g. competence) can change over the course of a career. Hence "pre-condition" is a strange way to look at the research.

Hey Ethbro, it's a good point that maybe retirement saving isn't fully dealt with in our article. I'll add a sentence about that tomorrow. Basically I would just aim to stay about $40-60k both while you're working and in retirement. So it's more a consumption target than income target. :)

Have you looked at any studies, many point to wider lanes being more dangerous because people drive faster on them. Don't just assume that 'wider == safer' without any data.

Yes it was risky. I thought long and hard before committing that I had the right people. I didn't know specifics on what happened or who exactly was involved, I just knew that they either had it or knew. But I knew it came from there for sure so I went for it. There were many people there. One invited us in, others wanted us out including Billy the Kid.

They definitely made the mistake of inviting us in. We weren't going to break and enter and good chance with a verbal confrontation someone says "come on in!" at some point, which they did. I don't think they knew how serious we were. They weren't expecting us rampaging through. If I was wrong, I was wrong but I either did something or I didn't. I feel like you're asking for perfection when I was just trying to achieve a goal. Bottom line is that I was right and within an hour I had an identical, brand new TV in the box on my front doorstep with an apology. I'm not sure we ever know anything for certain in life right? I had to try.

It is true: I did not have forensic evidence, but I knew it was them. I suppose I could be a bad man but it was a judgement call. I never doubted after that day that I made the right call. It was aggressive but not the worst story I have. Not sure what else to add. I don't remember every detail as time has passed and everything I was told, but I'm pretty sure at least one of those guys helped toss the TV into the pickup truck that carried it away.

They weren't angels right, no one came over to tell me I had been robbed. They were probably going to keep quiet. Maybe bad guys met worse and got an unpleasant surprise.

> Elixir is entirely immutable - it has to be as it just runs on the Erlang VM!

No, variables are mutable in Elixir.

Interactive Elixir (1.1.0-dev)
iex(1)> x=1
1
iex(2)> x=2
2

Notice how x is 1 then x is 2. Variable x mutated.

In Erlang:

1> X=1.
1
2> X=2.
** exception error: no match of right hand side value 2

Variables are immutable in Erlang.

I suspect you misunderstood gp's post and thought they were talking about data, which is immutable in both languages in general.
I used to have night terrors as a child and pre teen. It is the scariest thing one could imagine for those who have never experienced it. For myself I would be partially awake but unable to move hypersensitive to noise light and dark. The whole room would stretch away from me. The hum of the fan or the window unit would ramp up to a deafening squeal. The darkness would turn to a plague of spotted bugs and the light would flicker like a fire. All taunting and terrible, worse then any nightmare.

Nice charts, this is really cool. One thing, though - it's weird to have "researchers" not compared against engineers, since at lots of places they're functionally just two different titles for the same job. Is there a reason for that choice?
Pretty much. Another major assumption here is that Angel List postings are legitimate - even though some companies post "job openings" online to vacuum up resumes for a database.

In my jurisdiction the family court, which handles divorce, requires notification via sheriff.

The general district court requires notification via posting on the front door of the last known address and delivery via standard 1st class mail. This can be and is easily abused by cherry picking the last known address used. The plaintiff just needs sign an affidavit that it was the last known address they were aware of. You could challenge that they didn't make a reasonable effort to get a good last known address, but the burden of proof is on you and you won't win.

Also if you rented a property and have vacated it, for example if your lease has ended, your landlord can post on the front door and mail notice to the vacated property and this is considered sufficient notice.
Exactly, 4kb on top of the hundreds of megabytes of libraries and drivers.
PureScript is a good example.

The problem isn't that it doesn't work. It's that what you do with ports only work in the context of your application. The JavaScript part has to be defined somewhere else, the Elm code assumes the JavaScript part will be there. You can't redistribute that easily.

How to make it better? that's easy. IT ALREADY EXISTS and is part of Elm. It's just a private API. But it totally does work. It's how the native wrappers are written.

Ports use publisher/subscriber. If I want to, let say, wrap moment.js, which is just a bunch of synchronous functions, how would I do it? Dispatch side effects to "compute dates" and listen to the "response" in my update method? That would be silly.

The port system works beautifully to interface with the outside world. It is very poor to bring the outside world in.

Sorry, but that's a clickbait headline. I clicked it expecting to see a real attack dissected, not someone's idea on attacking an hypothetical platform.

(cute idea though)
It's a fair point. An interactive stacked area chart or a dot matrix would give you the freedom to focus in and to take away a lot more information about specific trends.

My counter would be that there is more to data visualization than the quantity of information communicated. If that weren't the case, all data would be shown as numbers in spreadsheets.

This data involves population counts spanning several orders of magnitude, for 72 countries over 20 time periods. It could be shown in a chart, but one that would require some patience to figure out.

An animated map requires no reading of axis labels, no analysis of abstract lines or shapes. The meaning of everything is plainly evident. And for the minute it takes to watch, the information content is actually very high.
I've seen it happen on YouTube (not to me); highly upvoted comments get copy/pasted a month or two later to "steal" upvotes for someone else.

It could be a bot tactic to build accounts with karma that can later be used for astroturfing, using proven comments from elsewhere. Maybe governments and organized astroturfers have automated that sort of thing more than we think.
I'm pretty sure this attack consists of a slight alteration to the design of the chip (namely, adding that extra logic gate), so it automatically scales to precisely the number of chips made with that design.
