Even at the time, you were probably better off buying a machine if you wanted one. However the learning experience of making your own is very valuable. The deep understanding of how the machines work, combined with practice means you are more likely to be able to use them correctly once you have one. (if you finish of course, most people don't)

I did the same thing as lots of the comments here describe: Modify web pages in the browser using the developer tools for the first part. It was for a mixed class workshop from 4th to 6th grade. Called it "hacking", which was an instant win, but explained why it wasn't really illegal and what hacking used to mean. Most kids were really quick to get it, and some were pretty damn good ... funnily enough, the nerdy ones mostly ;) They progressed to writing their own website, some with a bit of Javascript in it and after the course I put their sites up on a server for a week so they could show their parents.

You mean like the Abrams tanks the US army and marines rolled into Los Angeles three years after these events, to put down civil rights protests?

And if your response is there was a riot, and policeman were being injured and killed - the Chinese protestors were injuring and killing the authorities in Beijing. In fact there are pictures and videos of it readily available.

wtf are you talking about? I do this (with other greens and vegetables).

The NordVPN blog post leaves me with many questions.

1) Someone supposedly "gave" them the URL. They do not state how they found it, or how it was related to TorGuard. So who gave it to them? The Collective 7 hosting company? It appears Collective 7 was selling "Residential Solutions for VPN Providers":

http://web.archive.org/web/20171215024207/http://collectives...

2) Did they ask TorGuard to censor Youtuber "Tom spark reviews"? It seems he is critical of them:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXJWKuGh0qedrYviGEJmlWw

Tom Spark was also doxxed by the ProtonMail Reddit rep for posting videos they did not like:
https://old.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/96m5vc/is_it_tru...

Found the link here:
https://medium.com/@gaetanosabin/did-nordvpn-and-protonmail-...

So it doesn't surprise me that NordVPN (Proton) wants this Youtube Streamer's videos and blog taken down.

Shouldn't NordVPN and Proton uphold user privacy and fight against internet censorship? They are doing the exact opposite here and that is very troubling.

I'm kind of impatient with computers but the difference between Firefox and Chrome was always to small for me to care about compared to what I had to let go to move away from Firefox.

> It's a huge shame that we've got to this point with it, because it has been the driving force behind the massive improvement in browsers over the last dozen years.

I used the term "many" specifically because I do not have the stats. Not a majority, but a significant number of people, that struggle to gain weight.
I think maybe urban stores might skew the stats a bit. There's so much demand for groceries within a short walk of all the local condo buildings that my local Walgreens has set up a fresh sushi counter. The cheaper, giant grocery stores are all located in low income areas where land is cheap, but there's 8 CVS, 5 7-Eleven, and 2 Walgreens within a quarter mile walk of where I live and work.

So when I run out of flour, I have a decision to make: would I rather sit in traffic for 30 minutes, wait for instacart/amazon fresh delivery, or go to CVS/Walgreens? I suspect there are many people like me who pay the markup every day because it's less of a hassle.

What if I told you that a lot of these "VPN providers" were shell companies built to explicitly facilitate access and tools for crime / espionage with the premise of having users there as cover.
I worked on such a TCP stack while doing my MSc. thesis a couple of years ago [1].

Handling TCP in the kernel has some overhead due to system calls.

Also, the way sockets are designed does not make them very scalable, as you have lock contention on the TCP state machine. The SO_REUSEPORT feature introduced in Linux 3.9 solve some of these lock issues, but the kernel TCP stack is still not fully parallel [2].

This is the ugliest computer I have ever seen. The monitor as well. What in the world. It's like someone discovered Trypophobia and wants to terrify people. I can't believe I'm the only person to comment on that here.

>For new users who install and download Firefox for the first time, Enhanced Tracking Protection will automatically be set on by default as part of the ‘Standard’ setting in the browser and will block known “third-party tracking cookies” according to the Disconnect list.

Despite other issues, which there are some, I'm really happy to see FF not only enable more ways for users to protect themselves - but to be rolling it out as a default.

A lot of non-technical users I've encountered usually want the extra (usually non-default) protections, but don't know where to begin (or what is even available) so they continue with the default installation. FF setting some of the more mature privacy protection features as a default moving forward is a great sign of commitment to the cause of bringing privacy to everyone. Even those who don't know how to poke around the settings or about:config.

>Today, we’re releasing the latest update for Facebook Container which prevents Facebook from tracking you on other sites that have embedded Facebook capabilities such as the Share and Like buttons on their site.

This is a much needed change that I'm also really happy to see. Not really containing anything if the embeds still function.

Yea, not really. There is a difference between preventing people from spreading facts and preventing people from spreading blatant lies.
To do that properly, you'll have to interface with the network device directly through userspace. Whilst this is certainly possible, you end up with implementing a device driver in the end which might or might not be what you want to do.
If we're talking about privacy, there seems to be a direct correlation between the size of a companies profits and their willingness to sell your private information. As someone who values my privacy, I prefer smaller, stable companies because I'm more confident they are acting with my best interests in mind; not chasing massive growth and huge profits.

I spend quite a bit of money per month to maintain some semblance of privacy and none of the companies I support are raking in millions in profit every quarter.
Fascism has always had a kind of "self-improvement" as a core of its appeal: it offers the freedom of scapegoating, of blaming others. It's a lot easier to go out and denounce someone than recognise the parts of yourself that need work and work on them. And it's very easy for people to enjoy being part of an angry mob, or reinforce their masculinity through street violence or weapons accumulation.

The "pick up artist" ecosystem had a similar appeal, of selling self-help to the vulnerable. That collapsed into the "incel" subculture of blaming everything on women and percieved more attractive men.
Privacy is not all-or-nothing, like a switch. Apple has been playing a cat-and-mouse game with ad companies in which they provide a token for advertisers in exchange for disallowing fingerprinting, and then ad companies abuse that, so they provide a different rotating token and do more to disallow fingerprinting, and then ad companies abuse that, so they clamp down even more, and then ad companies abuse something else, so now they're clamping down even more, and presumably ad companies will figure out still more ways to abuse something, and so on.

There is no such thing as a third-party guarantee that doesn't also disallow useful functionality.

I'm more inclined to say they don't know who it was, but pointing fingers, and Black Friday to maximize the potential damages reward.

The legal case also says "unknown individual"; so they could be a run-of-the-mill reporter or something.

A lot of what Torguard is saying in the case is pretty benign. An email from header can be faked, trade secrets, if left on the open web... aren't really secret anymore.

Nord isnt in a clean place either. Their response is making claims that the legal case doesnt even touch.

> Each time a node has an internal event, it hashes that event with k hash functions and increments its bloom filter.

Isn't this effectively the same as generating k random indices? In other words, would the bloom filter work equally well if we pick k random indices to update?

In regular bloom filters this won't work because we want identical elements to collide, but here that doesn't appear to be a concern. I can see how we might want identical nodes to collide (i.e. have the same node use the same indices over and over), but that is not what is going on.

Uber Eats is sort of experimenting in this area with "popup" restaurants, only the cooking is done by their existing suppliers. For example, there is a local Puerto Rican restaurant that has a "pop-up" that offers a few Asian dishes. You can't walk into that restaurant and order the Asian food.
I used to get a lot of "aha" moments from books - fiction, non-fiction, bigraphies, whatever. I almost never do anymore. I do feel like there is a point where books become passive entertainment with few exceptions. That's how I felt about Meditations by the time I read it - I knew every idea Aurelius presented. I don't read nearly as much as I used to.
Often actions that you'd expect to be one handed actually aren't. I found this piece of information in Bill Buxton's paper that I found fascinating. Remoing the ability for a right handed person to move his left hand decreases writing speed! Why is that well for the body to maintain balance the left hand is continously adjusting the position of the paper. So what you'd think of as a one handed task might very well be bimanual to some extent.
To be honest I feel like this is throwing the baby out with the bathwater somewhat. If you're writing a script for a system without bash you'll almost certainly know it, so you might as well just put bash in your shebang. I spent a couple of years using #!/bin/sh and avoiding bashisms, but it was literally never useful so I just went back to using #!/usr/bin/env bash.

Of course it goes without saying that you shouldn't use #!/bin/sh then use bash...
I wish macOS wasn't as important, but honestly it's the most important. I don't want to switch back to Windows or Linux at this point since I'm too invested in the Apple ecosystem (and it's certainly the most privacy conscious option right now).
It's not enough for the artists to agree on what "fair" means, the customers and whoever's actually paying have to agree too.

> your entire shopping needs won’t be met by the available 365-branded foods

Absolutely false. That is the entire stated purpose of the 365 brand. What 365 does not cover is produce and meat. Meat is definitely more expensive at Whole Foods as they do not use it as a loss leader like other stores. I also sometimes wonder if one of the founders being vegan had something to do with that. Produce at WF is definitely about merchandising. The lower priced produced is very well hidden.

> shop at multiple stores (extremely difficult if you are poor)

Poor people don't have legs? I was poor for most of my life. I rode a bicycle to the grocery store. And the 365 brand stuff is mostly non-perishables. You can shop for non-perishables every couple of weeks.

Admit it. You just do not like the brand and identity the Whole Foods represents. It has nothing to do with the actual products or prices.
Test changes on smaller parts of the network before pushing them to critical parts would be a first guess.

Config changes tend to be nasty in that their implications are often hard to oversee until they have been made, and if the effects preclude you from making another config change then you've just cut off the branch that you were sitting on.

Google is best-in-class when it comes to this stuff, the thing you should take away from this is that if they can mess up everybody does. And that pretty much correlates with my experience to date. This stuff is hard, maybe needlessly so but that does not change the fact that it is hard and that accidents can and will happen. So you plan for things to go wrong when you design your systems. Failure is not only an option, it is the default.
This is surprisingly (or not) common at defense contractors large and small.
Yeah but if it's your primary machine, you don't want to live under the spectre of being one bad update away from hosing a day or two of productivity.

I've been an Apple fan for a long time but for the past 10 years or so I've been using more Google products. Well, I think that is changing. Google is proving itself more and more untrustworthy and Apple is moving in the right direction.

For example, I've been using Android phone ever since the second iPhone came out and have been very happy. I signed up for Google Fi as soon as I could and have been rocking a Nexus or Pixel device every since. However, this PaaS push by Apple, and Google's more recent announcements, have pushed me over the edge. I want to get cameras on my home. I want to sign up for things using email. I want to be able to use my personal devices without having to worry that law enforcement can back-door them. I think Apple is the only company that is taking this seriously and can be trusted to do it right.
