GUIs are problematic in the same way command line tools are: there is no way to access the internal functionality of both from a programming language.

Programs should come in three levels:

1) libraries, so anyone can make a program off them.
2) command line tools, which use the libraries to achieve specific goals.
3) GUI tools, which use the libraries or tools to show a nice graphical representation to the user.

This is probably the most unpopular thing I will ever say on HN but sometimes I feel like we shouldn’t allow internet traffic across borders so liberally.

I realize that it restricts freedom online but I feel like propaganda aimed at the citizens of the US will continue and only become more effective.

Is it worth having cross border traffic if it costs destroying the country? Is there a better solution?

Ha! My dad can do this. People always call me a liar when I tell them about the technique. It’s all about patience and wile.

When my dad sets out to do it what he’ll do is find a stream and walk along the banks but a good 10 feet back watching for fish. When he sees a fish he’ll go down stream a bit and then crawl up the bank slowly and quietly. When he draws just behind the fish he’ll put his hand in the water and ever so slowly work his hand up under the fish, tickling its belly as he goes. Once he gets up to the front he slips his finger into its gills and pops it out of the crick onto the bank. He makes it look easy. You can then dump the fish back into the crick.

First the military drones, now getting in bed with China, and the law straw was removing almost every mention of "Don't be evil" from its workers' code of conduct manual.

I think it's pretty clear at this point Google is willing to sell their own mothers (and your data) just to keep those profitable quarters up for many more years.

As more advertisers start preferring Facebook, I think Google will become even more desperate in regards to what it will be willing to do to increase revenue and profits quarter after quarter. Expect many big "evil" things to come from Google in the near future.
Wonder how Uber's experience in China will play out here -- people variously interpret it as state interference clearing the path for local competitors OR Didi being much better at meeting chinese cultural expectations for taxis.

This feels like a very different world than 1998 when G could launch an upstart search engine with 'free the world's information' in their DNA. in 1998 even in the tech bubble people still had no idea how the open web platform would be used. Now it's some combination of closed platform dominance, cookie farms, land grabs and spam.

Not surprising G is under pressure to play ball in china; the prevalence of android there (albeit in weird open forms sans G maps & tools) gives the government a geopolitical interest in tying some strings.

It is good faith. Words are a social construct. We as a society have constructed them to categorize the world around us, to describe things and actions.

When you say race is a social construct because we may visually ascribe a person wrongly to a race seems pointless in an era of dna tests. The possibility of being factually wrong doesn’t suddenly make something a social construct.

If I see bear cub from a distance and then find out it was actually a dog, it doesn’t mean I should shrug and say that a bear and a dog are social constructs, so I wasn’t wrong because these distinctions are fluid based on the social norms of our day.

Why you seem to deny that science can blindly determine your ancestral origins (and thus race) with astonishing accuracy is beyond me.

Yeah I guess there are questions how delete works in a distributed system like this.

E.g. if I have the archive on my computer/server I control and delete it then bingo - the data is gone and the app cant access my data any more. However, what happens to nodes that are seeding my data? Presumably they'll hang onto it for as long as they want, and there would not be a way to "force delete" the shared data since that would break a lot of the other benefits. Same goes for any hypothetical "prevent seeding" type options.

Well, this is a network where only SSH and one or two more TCP ports are open, and it's not something I can "get fixed".

Still, I do not have any practical reason for switching to Wireguard, as I do not really see any reduced speed - it is possible that the bandwidth limitation of this network's internet connection is low enough for that to be the bottleneck, instead of OpenVPN. :)

The British Library has a complete collection of UK newspapers going back to the 19th century and beyond. In the latter half of the 20th century, there were a few tabloid newspapers that routinely included photos of topless women [1] as part of their value proposition. When this began, such pictures were legal if the woman in the picture over the age of 16, and sometimes, these newspapers used pictures of women that young. In 2003, the threshold age changed to 18 [2].

From Wikipedia: In 2007, David Schechter (a medical doctor and former student and research assistant of Sarno) published a peer-reviewed[13] study of TMS treatment showing a 54% reduction in the average pain intensity scores for a cohort of 51 chronic back pain patients, whose average pain duration before the study was 9 years. In terms of statistical significance and success rate, the study outperformed similar studies of other psychological interventions for chronic back pain.
I remember those days too. Geocities had a directory full of sites they hosted, also I remember Maxpages, some magazines I subscribed to (Anime / Gundam) had a maxpages website, no domain, just a maxpages URL. Amazing how times have changed where you gotta have a domain. In Japan this is not so, you can be under a hosting provider's domain and it's still acceptable.

The only remaining equivalent now is probably Neocities? Would love to hear of others.

I can't wait until pfSense supports it. That'll be the moment I'll set the OpenVPN config on fire, because honestly, OpenVPN configs are magic and if it's not generated by some UI wizard, it's probably broken in some scenario. And even if you do the wizard, it's probably broken.

There is no sensible way to force delete tbh. Once someone has made a copy, you can't delete it.

I've been using Wireguard on both my laptop and my Android phone for about two months. I've been using the wg-quick systemd units, and everything has worked amazingly well. The only downside I've notice is slightly increased battery consumption on my phone, but that's to be expected (it uses approximately 5% of the battery per day).

I use dnsmasq to resolve DNS queries on the server side. Dnsmasq's configuration file includes entries to block connections to ad networks, based on Steven Black's host file [0]. It's a great to achieve ad blocking on Android, since Google has banned ad blockers from the Play Store.

This is so smart. I’m so happy for Alphabet. They seem to have recovered their mojo. Engagement not activism.

> Expect many big "evil" things to come from Google in the near future.

I worry a lot about the long term. What is going to be done with FB and Google's data once their founders are gone and Wall St has complete control? As far as I know, from their point of view there is no line that cannot be crossed for shareholder value. I believe in many cases the founders of these companies have actually been more morale than your generic fund manager. What's going to happen when the founders are gone?
I don’t know anything about it. But just looking at this photo[1] it looks like some hipster bullshit.

Gokhale’s techniques deal purely with posture and are immensely useful just to avoid or reduce any back pain. It’s just a way to sit or sleep while keeping straight upright posture effortlessly for long periods of time.

I can probably explain the sitting techniques to someone in about 15 minutes and ignore the other 80% of the book and still improve their life in a significant way. I recommend the book because it has decent pictures and shows historical examples of proper posture. Everything she shows looks like a natural position for a human to be in, very much unlike whatever’s going on in that picture.

Anyway like I said it’s more about where YOU are consciously. Are you in your head thinking or are you in the moment just walking and looking at the world around you. The posture etc. follows that, you don’t have to actively think about it. That’s why the meme in question selects it as a signal for confidence.

Furthermore, you have peripheral vision and your brain constantly inspects and maps your surroundings. It will not let you trip over things if you just look ahead.

EDIT:

Also I don’t know what the Wikipedia editors are smoking. The references for that “incorrect” statement are a complete joke. Gokhale actually provides ample evidence for this assertion in the book if you want to check it yourself.

A good example of this concept in action is actually the whole Ethereum / DAO fiasco, where the contract code actually contained a bug. Turns out the bug was not intended to be “binding”, and thus the Ethereum chain was forked to undo any damage of the bug.

So seems like even the crypto / smart contract community agrees with this sentiment to some degree, although forking an entire block chain might be somewhat of a crude interpretation of “wiggle room”.
You're comparing alfalfa and oranges. You're not going to grow wheat on pastureland that can support sheep or cattle. Much less other vegetables.

I wouldn’t buy things with cash if there where a half way decent debit card or similar I could replace it with.

It needs to have real transaction authentication so I don’t have to deal with fraud and it needs to decline transactions when I actually don’t have enough money in the account (instead of charging $40 in fees.) That’s it, but no one seems to offer that so I use cash instead.
>First the military drones, now getting in bed with China, and the law straw was removing almost every mention of "Don't be evil" from its workers' code of conduct manual.

I'm sorry, but providing services to the US military (as an American company) does not qualify as 'evil'. I hear the same insane calls for not providing services to ICE, a federal, civilian agency enforcing American democratically-derived laws.

With respect to Google's dealings with China (and similarly Facebook's dealings with Russia), you can't expect technology companies to fight or even ignore major world military, economic and geopolitical powers.

It's not fair for Google to take the 'high-road' with China when nobody else does. I'm certain OP has no qualms in buying and using Chinese-made goods but still complains about Google being evil because they can't afford to ignore 1.4 billion people.

It is not fair for Facebook to fight Russian attempts at election engineering. It's not fair when the public demands that Facebook take all responsibility for being targeted by a major global power with unlimited resources to launch cyber attacks (looking at you Swisher).

Both cases are failures of US, and European governments. US and EU should exert diplomatic and economic pressure on China and Russia to liberalize their governments, and economies (the shit the China gets away with in the kinds of hoops it requires foreign companies to jump through is insane). In the case of Russia, it is the US and EU that should take every step necessary to force that government to stop targeting western technologies companies for purpose of manipulating the voting public.

This is particularly directed at the EU and Germany as they are very fond of publicly stating that with Trump being Trump that EU/Germany should take on a leadership position in world and they have the most to lose. Thus far, EU has done very little to curb Russian aggression (Germany particularly has been quiet) EVEN in light of the fact that Russia funded and took active role in the misinformation campaign that led to Brexit, and multitudes of EU and European nations have been either targeted with military force (Ukraine) or dirty money for corrupting politicians. Apparently none of this is enough for EU and Germany to pay more than lip service to Russian aggression.

It seems to me that the set of useful contracts you can write that are completely unambiguous is very small.

Consider an employment contract on a blockchain.

There doesn’t seem to be any way to do this without relying extensively on oracles that reflect fuzzy human judgement about what the terms of the contract really mean, let alone whether certain actions took place, let alone whether those met or violated the terms.
