>You have to disable WebRTC in the browser

Incorrect. An easy and foolproof way of using VPNs is with network namespaces. You start the VPN in your init network namespace and then move the created device into a dedicated VPN namespace. OpenVPN has support for this because it allows you to execute a shell script after the VPN device has been created. Then you simply start your browser, torrent client, whatever in this namespace and you are completely safe:

1. If the VPN fails, then the only network device inside the network namespace disappears (modulo the lo device) and the programs in this namespace cannot use the internet.

2. Since the browser can only see the devices within the network namespace, the only IP it can see is the one assigned to you by your VPN provider (usually 10.x.y.z or similar.)

DNS leaks can be prevented by using a generic DNS provider such as 8.8.8.8.

An acquaintance of mine with some personal issues derped and posted a link to info about themselves when they are normally pretty careful about such things. They requested that the mods delete it and it was deleted.

I have talked to the mods at times about privacy concerns for myself. I'm a woman and I get weirdly personal interest and invasive questions at times. They have been consistently responsive and supportive.

Though I have not as yet ask them to delete anything. I am typically looking for a more nuanced approach to the problem space.

So my experience differs from yours and I know of cases where they have been highly responsive in deleting info, even when it was the poster themselves who doxxed themselves.

I don't intend to argue this further. I'm sorry you're unhappy with the call they made, but your experience does not warrent the sweeping statements you are making about HN policy. It is simply not an accurate picture of HN policy and moderating practices.
I’m not sure why you have that idea. I’m not entirely familiar with how most off-the-shelf VPN providers work, but I have a simple IKEv2 VPN hosted on Digitalocean that just gives me a public IP address, to which I can route a thing I want. This service appears be be specifically tailored for that use case, though I know nothing about it: https://staticvpnip.com
I may be dating myself, but why would a waze audio ad cause accidents more than a radio ad? There might be logic to make sure the ad doesn't overlap audio navigation guidance, but that seems like a feasible constraint.
Ha, I had the same realization! And it’s quite a shame. Consoles are so powerful today. It seems like a huge letdown that you don’t have more games that are as scary as D2.

I remember as a kid being incredibly scared to go from the “open” terrain into the dungeons in Act 1 of D2... I knew it couldn’t be any good. And then facing the terrible Anadriel... GOD I miss that game!
> part of a person's paycheck goes into a fund that is supposed to support their pension.

Yes. In Illinois, that portion is supposed to cover on the order of 10% of their pension, and taxes are (presumably) supposed to cover the other 90%. This figure is including market returns from initial contributions.

Bad mishandling may have made the situation worse, but, even if it had been handled perfectly, it still would have been unworkable.
I find the concept fascinating that anyone would think an algorithm is "racist". More or less begging human interference with the algorithm in order to make it less racist, anything anyone does can then be viewed as racist.
I don't think it's reasonable to assume that other Google properties will perpetually subsidize groups like Waze.
We have a full list from all developers who have informed us they have integrated here:

https://blog.agilebits.com/1password-apps/

There are likely other apps that are not on this list, but if they don't tell us they have added support it's difficult for us to add them.

You can request your favorite app add support, often times it only takes a developer 15 minutes or so to add it. Details in our github repo here:

I think that might make for a more powerful and useful search engine for sure. A Universal perspective as we've seen over the past few years simply doesn't exist - a search engine equivalent of stating a perspective would be interesting to think about. We already have location-based services, but we don't have cultural perspective based services. News media (Huffpost, Gawker etc) seem to be filling this role but only for news.
Our network is full layer 3 Clos Leaf/Spine. We'd much prefer something with network advertisements (OSPF/BGP) or SDN. Layer 2 stuff is OK for labs, but I don't know anyone building out layer 2 networks any more.

> Chill out there - you’re not banned from replying, but the HN site imposes a steady increasing delay on comment replies as the thread gets deeper, primarily to avoid rapid back-and-forth flamewars.

No, you are incorrect. I am/was banned from top-level comments too. This comment turns out to have gone through. I think it is time-based. I don't know how it works. But daily I get banned from making submissions and comments across the site.

> We should assume that markets are unregulated by default; the job of government is to step in when there is a problem or imbalance and use regulation to correct it.

This sounds extremely dangerous, and always allows for large-scale actors to break society's expectations of their good behavior every single day. Society can't function by just trusting huge megacorps to play nice every day. They need to be regulated from the day they start work, not a decade and a half later after so much damage is already caused.

> We’ve moved quite quickly with self-driving cars, but there the dangers are much more obvious and easily understood.

I don't agree with this. In the 90's all the adults in the world were telling kids about the dangers of being online with your real name and all the scary abuse that could come with that. What happened is that the adults forgot this advice. It was already known and it was not a surprise when it happened.

> The point is, I think it’s more complex than “obviously it should have always been regulated”.

No, I don't think it is. Regulation is simple and useful.
This is space fantasy, physics conforms to the plot not the other way around. Just pick the right technobabble.

Perhaps it required someone with the right force sensitivity to pull off.

Perhaps shields normally block these attacks and they turned them down to conserve fuel.

Perhaps when going past light speed ships normally just pass right on through normal matter. What happened was a never before seen effect based on failing to reach light speed in some highly unlikely fashion.

Perhaps it is reproducible, but requires tuning the shield frequencies. So it only worked do to the long period in very close proximity.

PS: Perhaps it's just a giant plot hole and showed up because someone at ILM showed a cool demo and they had to work that visual into the movie somehow.
I don't understand your argument...

It did cross my mind that the one guaranteed "work surface" present when building a wall is the wall itself. I'm curious how the weight situation would work out, though.

On one hand, fresh mortar can clearly support several new layers of brick as a wall is laid. On the other, common estimates suggest a 24 hour wait to reach 60% of final strength. How light would an on-wall robot have to be to work at a steady pace without disrupting the still-drying brick?

The other question, I suppose, is whether the brick-supplying robot makes that redundant. It's either going to need a scaffolding or a cart/flatbed that moves frequently to keep feeding target that moves back and forth, and if you need a ground-supported robot arm right near the wall it might just be easier to do everything that way?
If you're gay in rural Alabama, and you feel uncomfortable posting about it on Facebook because someone you know might find out, you probably aren't super comfortable going to the store or out on a date with your SO either.

But you do bring up a good point. My place of privilege in society makes it a lot easier to use Facebook without fearing the same repercussions as other people.
Well, if you're running as `root`, then `$HOME` will point to `/root`. Assuming `/root` is set to only allow `root:root` to write to it, then you don't need to worry about other users placing binaries at `/root/.local/bin`.

I've always been skeptical of DuckDuckGo. Some people say it's linked to Google...I'm don't buy that. However, search engines in general are tough to truly know how they work.
I don't know if this isn't blindingly obvious by now... but Google already changes its search results to match an ideological agenda. The days of naive algorithms ended with the 2016 election. These days malicious actors will deliberately game any naive algorithm to push their malicious ideological agenda (eg [1]) and the only reasonable thing to do is to push back. (Or I suppose you could let malicious actors overrun your platform.) Google has no choice but to pursue an ideological agenda because it is being targeted by those who have the worst agendas.

They may share the same Romanisation form, but Japanese shi and Mandarin shi sound totally different.
No - building materials in the UK have gone up in price because house prices have gone up and interest rates are low. It's easy to borrow money and the ROI on building is high, so the merchants can charge more for their goods without making a significant dent in the buyers budget.
I'd say the company might still be there but pivoting of core business will likely happen. Lots of companies survive this way, especially when they cover multiple business fields.
I know it's hyperbole and I'm being nit-picky but come on, 100x?

10x already sounds a bit like exaggeration, but implying there's an engineer out there who can do the same amount of work in 3-4 days as a normal engineer in a year is too much lol.
That's super cool man.
Google used to have a page for this. You had to make a solemn declaration that you were that person. I think (but this is a long time ago and maybe I'm misremembering) that you needed to be contactable on the From: or Reply-to: headers.

That is a good one, but I am not going to. I'll explain why:

I have no problem being represented as a privileged white male, part of the dominant culture, set out to suppress others. I do not think this affects my life to a big degree. It may even reflect reality more than the current search for "black girls".

I do have a problem staying clear from attacks on my reputation and career, coming from people who feel this is justified when a viewpoint does not agree with them. I've seen people's lives being destroyed for comments similar to mine, people calling up employers or conference hosts in an effort to hurt their income. I think it is just common sense to try to avoid such attacks. No matter my representation, I am not going to post a social security number either (my main account is pseudo-anonymous too).
It's pathetic to see a slight decrease in dark UX referred to as "new security settings". Oh, so they moved some stuff around in the settings menu? Call me back when they actually give you a link to delete your profile (seriously, there is none in the settings. There's only "deactivate" and "delete your profile after you die" -- even though both of those appear in a "delete" section.

"New Security Settings" implies that I'm given options I didn't have before. That does not seem to be the case here.

sorry i meant root as in /etc/profile not the root user, this is inherited by all user sessions. I will update my comment to clarify this. But actually this also applies to your own user .profile or .bashrc or whatever shell you have. I suppose more specifically I am talking about using a package manager which essentially gives write permission to ~/.local for individual package maintainers and that you might not be able to trust (this applies to NPM in particular). As an example:

For the users's own session, I don't want apt linking to some nefarious bin if for instance I have a npm package whom's authors credentials are hacked at some point, inserting an extra ~/.local/bin/apt binary when it's updated. For this scenario the overriding $PATH method will cause apt to run the nefarious binary rather than the system one.

[edit]

I think I might have answered my own question through example... it's a security problem when pointing a package manager at the bin where individual package maintainers can publish at any time and be hacked at any time. But I suppose in the authors example, he is using it for his own scripts ONLY, often specifically for the purpose of subverting system package versions, in which case overriding is as safe as the user is.

Problem is when you have some kind of process that is inherently controlled not by the logic in PLC, but by some external system (either because the required data will not fit into PLC's data memory or because they constantly change based on some external bussines processes)

Reasonable architecture for this kind of problem would be attaching some server to the PLC as peripheral, but it tends to be done other way around. As for reasons for that I speculate that it is simply inertia of the typical PLC programmer which is then compounded by reasoning along the lines of nobody does that, so it is not tested and we will hit unknown bugs in the PLC firmware itself.

I am not a graphics professional either, and in the past couple of years, I've started to dislike Paint.NET a lot (I was a huge fan in the early days).

These are, off the top of my head, what I consider to better than Paint.NET:

Mac - Acorn, Pixelmator, Affinity Photo

Windows - Affinity Photo

If you're just doing simple edits en masse to images (crops and simple adjustments), then I would bypass an app like Paint.NET altogether and say these are better/easier:

Mac - iPhoto, Photos, Aperture, Any Lightroom Clone (there are many)

Windows - PhotoDirector, ACDSee, Any Lightroom Clone (there are many)
Your experience is similar to mine.

Some of my friends have tried to make exercise inherently enjoyable, but I see this as usually a lost cause. Using myself as an example, there are very few exercises I would enjoy. And would I even do an exercise I enjoy regularly anyway? Basketball can be fun, but I never felt motivated enough to play unprompted, so it's not enough. Plus, basketball is nowhere near as good cardio as cycling.

Given that excuses are easy and that you probably can't make exercise enjoyable enough, the best option I can see is to make exercise unavoidable. Active transportation is my favorite here. Reducing friction helps a lot too, and might be enough for any particular person reading this, but I prefer to leave as little to chance as possible.
Maybe they're being blocked for some reason? Everything looks good for me (in Canada)

Not 'anyone'. Algo is not suitable for avoiding censorship, and it doesn't target this use-case.
Our Windows app has come a long way in the ~2 years or so of it's existence. We rewrote everything from the ground up with 1Password 6 for Windows. It has roughly 8 years of ground to make up to our Mac and iOS apps. They've come a long way in a short period of time. And it'll continue to get better, but we had some really big features to implement on Windows that just took a lot of time and effort. Adding in standalone license support and syncing to Dropbox is not a simple process but they're now available there in the latest beta.

We want our Windows users to be happy as well, and if you have features that are vital to you please write into our support. They use these requests to help gauge what to work on next, and the list is long so the more we hear from users about what they value the better we can prioritize that list.

As a Mac and iOS developer on the team I am very impressed by how quickly our Windows team has caught up.

Thanks,

I think I've started reading suggestions to disable WebRTC at least a couple of years ago in regards to avoid VPN detection from Netflix, so I thought it was a common knowledge.
I don’t use facebook and I didn’t even know that stephen hawking died before someone texted it to me.

Same with that famous pastor who died last month.

same with the bridge that collapsed in Miami near Florida International University.

The thing about it is, I don’t watch the news much already. I lost all respect for the news during the election when they would literally spend a week covering some sensational / gossip topic. It’s not news it’s entertainment with the occasional coverage of actual news topics. So without social media beaming every trendy headline into my eyes the moment I log in, I am ignorant to a lot of depressing stuff. Someone has to go out of their way to text it to me or I probably won’t see it. And that’s fine by me. (Yet somehow Tomi Lahren still finds a way to make it onto my SMS conversations -_-.)

In any case, aside from the depressing sensational media, facebook is also toxic because it can make you compare every aspect of your complicated life to other peoples’ highlight reels.
Yes, but I no longer feed it, and all this blocking speeds my internet substantially. I wonder how many people pay extra to subsidize their own tracking.
Sandcasters were used for space combat. I am away from my library so I cannot check but I seem to remember smoke/aereosols to be used for ground combat to reduce laser effectiveness.
Of course it’s less than 50%; that doesn’t mean that it’s a negligible proportion, either.

Analogy: (far) less than 50% of military officers have what it takes to be a general/admiral/other “logistics at scale” type. But yet still, military officers with experience commanding in smaller engagements are the only good source of those high-level strategists. If people couldn’t grow into roles requiring more responsibility of them, militaries would be “making” admirals and generals from scratch.

Does that sound feasible? If not, then why would one be able to “make” a Fortune 500 CEO out of anything other than an existing, experienced SMB CEO?
One need only look at Soloman's posting history on this site to see why he was the right person to lead Docker during its inception and the wrong person to lead Docker long term. It was clear in the discussions over Docker that Soloman was passionate about the technology he'd created and had a very particular vision for its future, which was often at odds with the way that posters here saw Docker and wanted it to evolve. But Soloman seemed to lack the ability to be diplomatic about it and showed some poor judgment in what he said publicly. That led to quite a few public spats that reflected poorly on Docker.

It's absolutely true that some people can evolve from a leader of a small company/team/project into a leader for a much larger one. But it's also absolutely true that not everyone can and that the skills to lead that larger endeavor are significantly different from the skills needed to get something off the ground. It's likely that Docker would never have gotten off the ground without someone like Soloman to take a very opinionated stance and drag people towards his vision. But if Docker is to continue to succeed, it now needs to expand its reach learn to be what people need rather than convincing people that they need Docker. Not being on the inside, I can't say for sure whether Soloman is capable of evolving into a leader that can move Docker in this direction, but the superficial view from the outside suggests to me that this was probably the right decision. It's no knock against him as either a leader or a technologist, it just feels like it's not the best fit going forward and his efforts would be better spent on something new that pushes a new vision forward.
Facebook the product?

That peaked in 2013.

Facebook the company?

That will follow the Yahoo! trajectory for at least a decade.
That is hard question, because we don't know what you like about programming. Do you like algorithms? Do you like creating small tools? Do you like large projects? With people or alone? Are you artistic and thus would be able to create own tiny game? Are you motivated by competition (in that case look for challenges)?

Try to think about answers to these questions. Also, I would advice you to pick something as small as possible at first. Optimally, something you are able to finish within a day. That will allow you to learn how fast/slow projects proceed before you get demotivated about doing something large.

Now, while you don't know, one thing I would recommend would be to look at some online courses whether udemy or coursera or udacity or anything else. Browse through catalog, pick up one and challenge yourself to do course and do exercises. This will not give you "meaningful hobby things", but it will make you keep learning so when meaningful thing comes around, you will already know a lot. And maybe you will find inspiration there.
