The story of Henrietta Lacks has less to do with whether the acts were deliberately malicious and more about medical researchers, and humanity as a whole, coming to a realization that patient consent is a fundamental ethic, whereas going back to ancient Greek times, doctors would deliberately mislead patients about their condition because it was thought to be, "within their best interests," and because, "doctor knows best." Nazi medical experimentation where human beings were treated like animals in the holocaust was being brought to light around this same time in history, and in the subsequent decades the entire practice of patient consent was changed - it was the biggest thing since the Hippocratic oath.

Framing the conversation into the typical American oppression zeitgeist is ignoring the fact that Henrietta played a role
in changing how humans looked at this ethical conundrum, period. This change in thinking will last forever, whereas America will not, just like the Ancient Greek civilization did not last forever, but much of the thinking and discovery influenced the rest of history (such as the Hippocratic oath). She allowed her cells to be used - she choose to be trusting to the doctors who were treating her, having no idea whether she would be OK or not, having no idea what would happen in the future, and then the doctors turned around and shared her cells for free with thousands of other doctors because they saw it as a medical miracle. This has subsequently been discovered, from an ethical sense, to be totally immoral, regardless of the good intentions of the doctors, whereas previously it was considered a moral imperative. Her decision and role in this part of history didn't "remind us to think about ethics," it completely changed how this area of ethics are even thought about, and that will be a benefit to anyone who ever visits a doctor or has any medical problem, ever, which is pretty much 100% of everyone.

> Note the 'likely', this isn't a certainty but in my experience to date everybody that is fear mongering about the GDPR is coming up with the wildest of scenarios rather than to just look at the law as if it was intended well (which I really believe it is).

Bringing up the "parade of horribles" is a standard way of reacting to regulations, and it's normally countered by the regulators just pointing out that the horribles rely on really tortured interpretations that aren't intended. With the GDPR, that hasn't been the response (which has instead been a double-down on "it's just common sense" without confirming or refuting what will happen)--for me, that's some cause for concern.

Most smart locks only replace the "back" part of the lock anyway, or augment the physical key slot to leave it as a backup, so, the point still stands that it only introduces new attack vectors. You'd still have the problem of someone being able to copy your "do not duplicate" key not to mention bumping/picking the lock, along with hacking the smart portion of the lock.

In the end, it's your decision, but the OP's comment stands fully: all the same attack vectors still exist, along with a bunch of new ones at the expense of convenience.
consider the possibility that our experience which we call vision is actually not the raw data feed, but actually is calculated/derived from both the raw data feed and our internal sense of geometrical viewpoint. If this were the case, then someone who had their sense of geometrical viewpoint displaced (but was still taking in raw data from their eyes, which do have a fixed real-world location) would experience a sense of vision, from the viewpoint inside the world wherever their sense of geometrical viewpoint has been displaced to.

It seems that is the case. In that same book I recommended, the ways the senses are processed are described and the phenomenon of 'blind sight' is touched upon.
> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindsight

The info your senses take in is processed in multiple stages. The stages can be accessible to your consciousness, despite damage or interference.

So, signals from your eyes go to a primary receptive area, which likely processes shapes and colors. Then a secondary receptive area tries to figure out what exactly is being gazed upon and gives you a more concrete image. Finally, the visual association part of the brain adds in context; memory, emotion, other sensory input, etc..

I kind of view the consciousness as a super-organism of consciousnesses, with all but a few of the last stages of processing considered our subconscious.

I use a self-hosted OpenVPN install on a Digital Ocean droplet to simply encrypt traffic (UDP/443) from my ISP. One plus is that I have a clean US IP address that isn't blocked by most services. This is just for security and geolocation, not anonymity.

For anonymity I use Private Internet Access as they have a fast network, lots of locations, and no logs. They're also very affordable.

I also use IPredator sometimes since they're the same folks that run Njalla and I simply like to support them.

>You can still buy appliances with no internet connections at all, or buy open hardware and run open source software

For a little bit. As you say, bad money pushes out good money. Most people will buy devices with tracking. Since more of them will be made, their prices will be lower than devices without tracking. Especially since the tracking will be profitable for the companies making the devices. Eventually you'll find all devices have tracking hardware and on some it will just be disabled. Either unplugged physically, or turned off via software.

Not the same price for those of us who were grandfathered into the $7.99/month GPM intro price. Hence the problem. Otherwise a switch to YTR before May 22 would remove the uncertainty.

Also, I subscribed when living in the US and now live in Canada. I'm wondering if I can somehow retain the grandfathered price or an equivalent discount whenever I switch my Google account to know that I live in Canada now. Somehow I'm guessing not... $9.99 Canadian is actually less than $7.99 US most of the time, but YTR isn't available on this side of the border, so I can't lock that in. (YT Premium will be here, the announcement says, at some unspecified later date.)

Canada seems to have the same $7.99 grandfathering deal (but in Canadian dollars) for its early subscribers. Time to ask Google support what they can do, I guess...

> People care because Bitcoin is, by design, massively wasteful. The banking system's energy use can be curtailed with green tech.

Still does not explain how the current banking industry along with others, such as the entertainment industry is not "massively wasteful" by design. Sure, maybe a small portion of the banking system's energy can be curtailed with green tech, but what about the 24 hour ATM, the light posts at the banks, the AC units in each branch, the massive skyscrapers in which all of the banks corporate offices operate? and the energy required to build all of that infrastructure? As stated already, there are countless number of things that "waste energy", and in some cases "by design". Check out "b.s. jobs" on wikipedia.
I mostly agree, except that the fundamental idea is bad because it inevitably leads to an arms race between miners. Using more electricity gives you a bigger share of the pie, but doesn’t actually grow the pie. So the electricity is really wasted. And this at a time when our energy demand is contributing to climate change.

Can't speak about security aspects, but:

If you ever use SSH to tunnel/forward TCP traffic, you should be aware of certain performance issues [1], due to TCP's re-transmit mis-behaving (stacking) in a TCP-in-TCP scenario. Expect seemingly random delays, followed by bursts of transmission even well below the nominal capacity of the connection. This also causes overall increase in amount of data sent.

The same caveat applies to any other TCP-in-TCP tunnel (as opposed to the usual TCP-in-UDP setup), unless one or both tunnel endpoints specifically handle re-transmits properly.

Wireguard has taken third party funds to expedite development, but as far as I know the author is pretty adamant all the implementations are freely available and open source, so maybe angel funds aren’t the best direct way forward.

Disclaimer: I’m a principal at Latacora and we paid the author some money to make native Mac clients happen. There’s also a VPN provider who paid money toward development.

I’d rather they did it right than rush it to meet a kickstarter date.

> It’s a little hard to overstate how big a deal this is. [...] Nobody trusts either codebase, or, for that matter, either crypto protocol. Both are nightmares to configure and manage.

Those seem quite the overstatements. I don't remember having any particular distrust in OpenVPN's codebase or protocol. I also didn't have that much trouble configuring neither the server nor the clients. I particularly liked how OpenVPN's configuration is basically putting command line arguments in a file. I could test configurations by simply changing invocations of openvpn, and when I found something I liked, I just put the options in a file and enabled the service to use that configuration file. Compared to the configuration of other kinds of services, OpenVPN is pretty simple.

EDIT: This is my first time hearing of WireGuard. I can't say how it compares, but the way this reads like a sales pitch and is so dismissive of SSH and OpenVPN, both of which I've had nothing but good experiences from, doesn't leave a good impression on me. I mean:

> Death to SSH over the public Internet. Death to OpenVPN. Death to IPSEC. Long live WireGuard!

Really?

This page would've been more effective on me if it objectively described how WireGuard was better than these technologies.

Sure, but with a chunk of their operating expenses ($9 billion a year) spent on lawyers ... tricky is not a problem. For everyone else, it is.

It gives them a legal way to destroy any company they don't like, it's a land-grab for both their own jurisdiction (as opposed to member nations' jurisdictions), it's land-grab for global jurisdiction, it's a (partial) denial of private contracting rights and it's explicitly designed for selective enforcement.

On the linux "server" you'll want to enable IP packet forwarding (essentially allowing it to function as a router). Packets destined for elsewhere on the lan will then be forwarded according to your routing table (so it should probably Just Work if the machine can already reach the rest of the lan).

On the "client" side you'll likely want a static route for your lan that ensures those packets go over your wireguard interface.
