> I can't see what possible good passing a charging station on my highway commute would do me.

Helping people not driving an electric understand that charging stations exist and are in abundance, thereby alleviating concerns that an electric will leave them stranded. I know where at least ten gas stations are in my normal driving radius, and where some are in adjacent towns. I have no clue where the nearest charging station is, even though I'm aware that some exist. To the average person, it appears as though charging stations don't exist at all and gas stations are in abundance. It's a mindshare thing.
but you can just go to icloud.com, sign up, and then type that into your phone. a pretty easy workaround.
Anecdata: I have money and property and plentiful transportation (three vehicles for the two of us). Live miles from town.

I drive to one or more grocery stores infrequently to get what I want. Buy quality food and freeze/store it in my large house. Garden provides some more. Waste is composted and feeds the gardens.

Meals cost me a buck or two to prepare from my plentiful stock. All because I can afford to. Food is a negligible fraction of my budget.
Non tech literate shouldn't be making these choices. This is why they'll miss out on Cockroach DB, eh?
I mean, as considered by Aristotle, et al, the question was really asking "If you have a sequence of alternating events going infinitely far into the past, which came first?", which is more a math problem than a biology problem. (To which Aristotle, admirably, reached the conclusion that there wasn't a first event and it was a meaningless question.) It was only in the context of the Biblical creation that people decided it had a definitive answer (the chicken), and like 70% of "the egg came first" is really saying "Biblical creation was wrong!!1!", which is fun at first but kind of boring in the long haul.

A more useful point of meditation in the modern world is this: which is more important, the design (the egg) or the implementation (the chicken)? Was the chicken "created" when the first egg containing the design for a chicken was laid, or when the first chicken was fully implemented (the egg-laying chicken)?

Obvious parallels to technology, engineering, and startups, etc.

As sibling comment says, I'm not sure I see the value over a counter edge (though clearly refilling tubes is one point)

But I want to say WOW to your kickstarter video!! I was not expecting that level of testing and engineering to go into this, kudos to you for taking it next level.

Do you think you recouped the costs of those testing jigs or was it all good fun?
I guess thats a secret.

I think the race to the bottom already has many providers in fistfights at the finish line.

For example, when I tried Kodi (as a non-piracy living room media box starting point) a couple years ago, one of the reasons I gave up on it was that it seemed almost every Web search for technical questions would be filled with hits for VPN affiliate pitches. I also found forums, such as on reddit, filled with shilling, drama, and intrigue about VPNs, including some prominent ones. Then there was the related scandal of Facebook targeting children with a "VPN" surveillance channel, and there's really no assurance that many VPN providers aren't doing a similar thing.

I suspect there are some legitimate VPNs, but I decided I actually trust free Tor more than any random VPN, for some casual degree of protection against snooping open WiFi and ISP.
NordVPN is good at spinning stories, but quite frankly they have been caught in too many lies to ever trust again [1].

To provide a different perspective from that of kadoban, NordVPN is by far the best VPN I've used, and I've tried most of them (got to make use of those free trials). I had one issue with billing which was cleared up the same day, can't think of a time I've had a noticeable outage, and the UI is one of the best ones I've used. No, I don't work for them...

Reading NordVPN's side of the story, I wouldn't be inclined to believe either story until the truth has been pulled apart in court. [1]

it always felt like there was no "right way" to manage dependencies and environment.

That has been a huge problem in the past and it's still somewhat of a problem. However now that pip and virtualenv (renamed venv) are part of the standard python install and pip has gotten a lot better when comes to cross platform installs and handling binary dependencies, hopefully we'll see some more standardization around those tools.

That being said, I use conda for managing dependencies and environment for basically all my python development work and have no complaints.
Pinephone – Open-Source Smart Phone Supported by All Major Linux Phone Projects
I am rather thinking that, let us say "App XYZ" is super secure and PrivacyTools lists them without affiliation.

Later after sometime if App XYZ offers affiliate, why would they pay PrivacyTools since the app is listed free anyway?

If anything - PrivacyTools should expect donations, not affiliated or marketing revenue.

And I honestly think - they can also go in the direction of having a minimal monthly subscription fee.
Cat videos would be generating more revenue?
Do you mean you think privacy and control are orthogonal goals?

They aren't quite orthogonal because if you have root on your device, then you limit the security guarantees Apple can make about their privacy measures.

This is a fairly deep problem in the sense that there is a tradeoff between having a secure enclave to support interesting security protocols on the one hand, and the fact that a secure enclave almost by definition means you don't fully own the machine on the other.
So in a way apple is forcing them.
No. As long as Apple continues to use first party kernel extensions, Hackintosh users will be able to install their own. Hackintosh users don't particularly care about SIP ;)

There's also always the ability to recompile the Darwin kernel, as AMD Hackintosh users do. This does have the downside of making updates annoying.
They pay a lot of attention to posture when lifting. Not so much when rowing, and at first I sometimes felt it in my lower back. There's a lot of focus on strengthening core muscles though, and I now feel like my abs and back are a lot stronger already, and I haven't felt any back trouble in ages. (Well, weeks, I guess; I've been doing this for half a year now.)
mind you telling about some privacy company that they have 'trade secrets' which should be exposed is a low blow under the belt...
if you have some critical information for its users privacy, then share it... (being privacy advocates and a VPN service themselves.. it would be responsible.) with that in mind, it just sounds like someone with bad temper with too much responsibilities as usually these things turn out to be...
No, it means that the polluters end up subsidizing development of cleaner vehicles.

Otherwise, Teslas would be more expensive.
I used mutt+offlineimap for a few years, with a corporate account on an MSExchange Server and the two biggest issues I had (which I hope Aerc addresses) were:

* no good way to search/auto-complete addresses (I used vdirsyncer which got me the address book locally but there was no easy way to fill-in addresses when typing an email).

* no way to accept calendar requests - I would pull them up on my phone to accept or reject.

Otherwise, everything worked quite well, but those issues annoying enough that I eventually switched back to a Windows machine with Outlook. The Email+Calendar+Addressbook integration may violate the Linux philosophy of doing one thing well, but for today's typical office workflow it is frustrating not to have a platform with all three integrated.
Not OP but I agree with you regarding tube squeezers. Just lean it up against the counter and pull down.

However, I guess this one has the unique feature of letting you reuse smaller tubes by cutting off the end and refilling from a larger tube.

I get the convenience of using a smaller tube, so refilling it would be nice, but doesn’t convenience go away when you have this big plastic squeezer thing at the end of it?
Or maybe machine translation?
I've often wondered how many controls Facebook gives to SE Asia in exchange for being allowed to operate there. Do they get moderator powers or alert systems?

In Vietnam about 5 years ago, you could only use Facebook on your phone. It's hard for me to imagine the dictatorships of Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam welcoming Facebook and allowing the population to freely criticize the government.
I expect Macs in enterprise/education are locked down so that Gatekeeper and SIP can't be turned off by normal users.

But preventing ALL Macs from turning off Gatekeeper and SIP? I think that would be unpopular.
But why not optimize the TCP part of the kernel?
Absolutely. I guess they want to avoid drawing attention to the full impact on businesses built on Google Cloud, before having a concerted effort across PR, Legal, Eng.
> What kind of 'trade secret information' could a vpn provider be blackmailed with though?

That's easy. A VPN provider has access to all kinds of juicy information, such as who their customers are and what they are up to online.

They may have been compromised already, they may sell user data. There are all kinds of things that could be going on that would definitely be stuff they could be blackmailed with.

Whether any of that is the case remains to be seen.
Source? I can't find anything about them not being based there at all.

EDIT: After some brief hunting I found a HN comment with some scattered information about them possibly being based in Lithuania [1]. Not sure what to think about that personally.

Going to the gym makes me lose 30 minutes at least for the road.

You also end up exercising near other sweaty dudes, staying in line for the squat rack or whatever, then showering in conditions that are rarely ideal.

Whenever I go to the gym it takes at least an hour to go through my training, plus 30 minutes to get there and back. At home I can do my strength training in 15 minutes. I will then bike to and from work daily and thus get my cardio too.

A majority of people that pay for a gym membership don’t go to the gym and that’s a fact.

It depends on the individual I guess, but in my case not going to the gym and exercising at home is what made me a doer.
This is called subdomain addressing or subdomain stripping in case anyone wants to look up how to do this with your hosting provider.
censorship was rebranded as "battle against misinformation" these days.
Except for sanders. If you use one of them for a bit, you'll have no problem signing away an organ or two to Festool. And the dust collector, of course. Maybe a Domino joiner. But other than that, you don't have to give them all of your disposable income for your power tool needs.

And they are closely aligned with other vpn providers that all leveraged micfo (as is stated in this complaint).
> Apple will be shackling your services to your Apple ID, so moving from iOS to Android will leave you with 3 pretty rubbish options

You then proceed to list inconveniences that are true of every single sign-on service. You even say as much on the last one:

> This is insanely hard to do with Facebook logins (have you ever tried to remove Facebook from your Spotify account? It’s a nightmare)

So the criticism in the post is that “sign in with Apple” lacks where every other service does, but then it has one area where it’s better (privacy). I’m failing to see the problem.
>Calorie restriction is well known slowing biological aging process

Cut calories and you cut the amount of cardio and strength training you can do. This cuts muscles mass, bone density, and takes away the IQ-increasing brain simulation factors away. I am not sold at all.
Also, there are forums in which the Chinese do freely discuss these topics, obviously with to some degree of discretion. But yes, they generally stick to speaking about sensitive topics to verbal conversation since there's significantly less 'keyboard warriors' over there - especially ones with any strong political lean.
I think by any fair standard, Microsoft can be considered to have a monopoly in the desktop market

How? Lots of people I know use Macs, and developers/techie types frequently use Linux.

Windows is the most popular for some types of business, arguably most types, but it doesn't have a monopoly within the desktop space.
> Btw, it isn't society subsidising Tesla

Almost 60 minutes before the first bot arrival. The Party is slacking off!
> Either you're paying for the product, or you are the product.

Where would you place an app like Signal?
Possibly (I am not a kernel dev) to avoid the memory copy. There are user space network implementations like netmap and dpdk which do this. Possibly this could be optimised in the kernel, I'm not au fait with it enough to be able to say.
Yeah. All you have to do is follow the money. They're incentivized by paying customers, and maintaining privacy serves that incentive, and double-dealing would be extremely risky at best.
So your solution to difficulty is simply that we should give up trying?

No Thanks.

Theories are a prerequisite to scientific experiment.
Could also use an explanation of what it means to "calculate a transfer". Like, the ΔV? The travel time? All possible parameters? Frustrating that if you click on "What It Does", it doesn't clarify.

This is one of the dumbest comments I've ever read online, and I read Youtube comments. Gomad is for people trying to gain muscle mass and bulk up, not for people who are under a healthy weight.
Seems that there were some massive security vulnerabilities that NordVPN found. [1] I'm very interested in seeing how this court case works out, as at this point I don't know who to believe.

I tend to look at the risk as being relative.

For me, downtown Rio around 'Central do Brasil' bus and train station were far higher risk than many slums.

Various areas around Rio (and SP) have 'Cracklands' (Cracolândia) with many crack cocaine users who are frighteningly unstable. Reports describing hold-ups, with victims cooperating and getting shot - usually in a better parts of town put things in perspective for me.

Some slums are trying to open to tourism, as a starting point you could look up well-reviewed bars\restaurants in slums to get an introduction. As the article suggests, there are many legit businesses in slums, so going to the ones with a lot of business activity is usually a good bet. The economy of a slum can only develop if there is a reasonable level of security.

I can only trust my judgement. I have not encountered any problems so far. YMMV.

Quite often it's not the deals that are made in conferences but the relationships (the "network" part). You hang out with a lot of people in the same industry as you, you get to know & be known by them.

And invariably when you know dozens/hundreds of people in the same field somebody usually needs some work done & is more likely to give that work to somebody they met in person vs someone anonymous off of the internet.

The "do good work" part is where you turn this into a snowball & get recommended around.

Small nitpick but if you want to save money, stop using so much toothpaste. All you need is a pea sized amount. You're putting 3 times what's needed in your videos.
Totally opposite here. Running is much better than biking, and also I much prefer excising at home to a gym.

Point is: it's a personal preference. Glad you enjoy biking and going to the gym, but both of those sound terrible to me.
> Apple's "tax" allows them to pay for software without selling my data.

It does? macOS seems to do well enough on the privacy front.

I don't think Apple's App Store, or its 30% cut, needs to disappear, but consumers should have the option of running software from outside the store too. That's adding choice, not taking it away.
I think MZ does think long term, is taking privacy seriously moving forward and is good for the company. (I was, but am currently not, an investor in FB)
Great product, very streamlined process. Video intro was informative.
https://nordvpn.com/blog/torguard-lawsuit/

Apparently its a torguard-vulnerability. To tag a vulnerability as 'trade secret',
and the fact that the disclosure process involved threats (allegedly) is a very bad reflection on both of them. Why should I trust either of them to handle security vulnerabilities responsibly in the future?
Good job. Markdown support for sending html-Mails would be very nice ;)
"It all started when we received information that led us to finding a TorGuard server configuration file lying in the open on the internet... We hoped that after providing this vital assistance towards securing TorGuard’s infrastructure, they would also cease with their illegal defamation campaign."

So nord is shitty for digging up dirt on torguard because they were mean to them online and torguard is shitty for having these vulnerabilities in the first place. Are there any vpn services run by a company that is neither slimy nor incompetent?

Their response is certainly better written and does have something about the ring of truth to it.

Even taking into account the insanity of legalese that lawsuit was... wordy, at best. Poorly organized and repetitive would also apply.
It is society subsidizing Tesla, because the negative externalities of GM and Fiat customers are both borne by everyone, but the transfer payments in compensation are paid to Tesla, not society as a whole.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, and if we can't get a carbon tax I'll take what I can get. But let's call a spade a spade.

I do think we are missing out in a big way by not tipping the balance of hybrid TCO (eg a Camry) from slightly above to slightly below their equivalent models. Even a small tax could do that and it would make a much bigger difference than EVs have to date (but of course not in the long run).
Yes yes, Lisp invented everything, I know. I was talking about the fact that (to the best of my knowledge) Rust introduced them to the C-like syntax world.
It's interesting that you can view the content, but just not like it.
The big impediment to Facebook doing the same thing is that it uses huge RSU grants as a carrot to attract talent. Go private, and suddenly they need to make up for the 40%+ drop from somewhere.
You need to wait a bit for the reply button to appear. The site has a delay to prevent discussions from getting too heated. (The delay increases the deeper a comment thread gets.)

HN is not blocked in China. Interesting. What is the sentiment when access to a popular website is removed? Does everyone just VPN, or forget about it?

Not all fp languages are purely functional, and certainly not all lisps. In fact, the only lisp that I'm aware of that focuses on immutability is clojure. Granted, many lisp programmers may decide to keep their functions pure, but it's rarely enforced.
They have definitely been compromised. You can buy lifetime accounts on the darknet for a dime a dozen with suspiciously not-real-person email addresses and passwords. Other VPN services and accounts for sale are much more expensive and you can usually tell at a glance that the credentials were stolen from a real user.

Edit: Perhaps the unimpeded sale of these "hacked" accounts leads indirectly/directly back to someone inside NordVPN? A dirty "trade secret" they wouldn't want revealed..? Seems farfetched but they have not proven themselves trustworthy in the past.
FB need Zuck now more than ever, otherwise it will become a middling company run by an unimaginative middling corporate "CEO". FB is a potential goldmine, they have not even made a fraction of the money they are capable of making. Monetizing instagram, monetizing watsapp, making watsapp the default way to send money, effectively becoming involved in banking, they could literally copy wechat and become print money because of the strong network effects fb has.

I'm not sure, their response could be fabricated too. I'm interested in if Torguard has any evidence of them physically approaching their employee.

> Within an hour of this in-person and unannounced visit, the same TorGuard
contractor received unsolicited correspondence from an employee at NordVPN. This
correspondence stated that NordVPN had received certain of TorGuard’s confidential and trade
secret information and requested to set up an instant message chat to discuss this with TorGuard.

Also, according to both parties they communicated with each other with evidence. So all either party has to do to claim their innocence is submit the emails/communications they claimed to have.

---

The DDOS part I'm very weary about. What evidence does torguard have that NordVPN was the one carrying out the DDOS attacks? I'll admit I haven't thoroughly examined the entire document, but they don't really seem to state how they know NordVPN was behind the attacks, they just list the dates they were attacked. Given the nature of DDOS attacks, they could be from anyone.
Paternity is a biological construct.

Royal intermarriage has been practiced by ruling dynasties since times immemorial. It had often been observed that this leads to problems and infertility, and indeed this is the root cause for the incest taboos that you find in varying forms and shapes in most cultures and religions. However, it has only been with the rise of modern biology and genetics in the 20th century, that this practice was abandoned.

Speaking of Ancient Rome, it has been speculated that the decline of the Roman Empire was in parts caused by the failure of the ruling families to produce enough children. Naturally, we don't have enough information today to confirm or disprove such speculation.

I have no idea why you link to an article about the Mosuo. It has no bearing on the biological nature of paternity.
