LA’s earthquake warning system worked – just not how people expected
So what organization with that kind of credibility is offering a free vpn?

If Mozilla did, it probably would get the kind of attention and focus you’re suggesting.
I just don’t see a lot of companies with a similar vision as Mozilla that are successful.
I've commuted by bike in both San Francisco and Amsterdam. In Amsterdam it's a lovely (and safe) experience, whereas in San Fransisco it was positively hazardous. The key difference being the thoughtful lane designs in The Netherlands where you have dedicated bike lanes physically separated from the car traffic. In San Francisco you are often mixed with or adjacent to car traffic or parked cars - leaving you susceptible to parked car doors suddenly opening, or being caught in a moving car's blind spot.
I think the answer isn't that Denmark is hanging on to its colonialism, but rather that we've gotten over it more so than most other countries, and feel remorse. I think we feel an obligation to the native Inuit people - we smashed their culture and introduced them to alcohol, which - much like many other indigenous people around the world - they haven't evolved the same tolerance toward as Europeans have, making them much more prone to alcoholism, which is still rampant to this day. Like other old colonial powers we owe a debt to the our colonies for the harm we've caused them, but unlike most we insist on actually paying that debt, because it's the right thing to do. (And don't tell me that's immoral like the article says in item 10 - we support plenty of NGOs in Africa, but Greenland was our colony, so that's the first debt we pay). And I think we know that to the Americans, the Inuit people would have been treated like nothing but a balance sheet like this article does (to me it looks like shareholder primacy raised to the national level, and I find it frankly pretty disgusting - that's no way to think about your fellow citizens). We've already seen how the Americans have treated their native population, and I think we can be pretty damn confident that they're better off with us (what would the Americans have done; let the Inuit build tax exempt casinos? I'm sure that would have worked wonders against the alcoholism...)
The intelligence community has a record of infiltrating activist orgs to direct their ideas. I wouldn't trust anything made specifically for activism unless some other valuable merit is presented.
I live in Turkey and I got myself Wireguard set-up with wireguard+lightsail. I can say I got same trouble as no-VPN. For example I cant view profiles on Twitter when im on VPN.

btw Turkey is notorious for blocking sites, Youtube got blocked for months, Wikipedia is still blocked today..
Going by their designs in the leaked Snowden documents, you can probably tell which ones are ran by the NSA from the bad website/app UX/UI.
beautiful tribute by the community.

Like they do with Tor nodes?
Are Tech Companies Africa's New Colonialists?
So if a Chinese telecom wants to do business globally, it has to exclude all CCP members and avoid state intelligence personals all together?
You trust Tor exit nodes over vpn providers?
The industry is medieval. I had to get a CT scan in the ER while traveling once and the only way the medical records office could communicate to get the scan was fax or email, and they sent me the images by mailing a CD (in 2018)!
I really like this. it cuts out the padding most articles have very effectively. Can anyone post links? How automated is the fact extraction?
Google's services do not share IPs with their cloud platform. All 3 major cloud ip ranges are easy to block.
A bit misleading to me because I read products as softwares but dismissed it because I knew there weren't 97 VPN softwares on the market.

This should say 97 VPN services instead. Just nitpicking but it did made me look twice.

This type of development is not unusual. Web hosting companies have been buying each other up since the 90s.
How so? It isn't for individuals but for future generations. Ever heard of UNHCR?
A lot of people I know are using free VPNs to circumvent the state censorship. It has nothing to do with privacy, only with the fact that when you search for something, about 20-80% of links end with "connection timed out" (depends on what you're looking for, obviously). Most of those sites don't have any "ungood" information and are basically just collateral damage.

I am a full stack web developer that wants to step up his game in development while working on exciting problems.
I'm not an expert (and expect to be corrected on details here), but I think it depends on the orbit altitude - if it's low enough to suffer significant atmospheric drag, then it'll de-orbit fairly quickly. But if they're at high altitude (geostationary and geosynchronous orbits spring to mind - around 22000-26000 miles), then that's much less likely, although there's a much bigger area to cover at that altitude. But given the damage that even a tiny particle can cause at those velocities, I think it's a real concern with such mass launches.
Now you just need to figure out which one owns which and then chain them cross vendor, and hope that "he's connecting to a chinese spy vpn" doesn't put you on any list ;)
I like encrypted ZFS snapshots. There are tools to automate the process of creating and uploading them and they handle incremental backup and restore painlessly.
Not lead designer :)

But yes, Rust, or even in userspace, as newer and/or more microkernel-ish OS's allow for. Apple is doing work to allow drivers to be written in Swift...
Unfortunately, they discontinued the static site option 2(?) years ago. Now all sites are dynamic, but my static site costs have barely gone up, so its all good.
It gets especially funny for any company hiring Israeli security experts. Or even the US for that matter, college is expensive and there seems to be an array of people who get their degree financed that way.
Tons of former NSA persons work in the US private sector,especially within infosec.
It can be a bit overwhelming during rush hour though, two way bicycle traffic of multiple cycles next to each other going at different speeds. Makes crossing Vredenburg almost like a real life game of Frogger on foot.

Though if you're in the right DCs, that traffic will be mostly internal, I suppose, since VPN providers and seedboxes aren't that spread out (for price and TOS reasons).
destroyed a lot of San Francisco

It destroyed hardly any of San Francisco (almost nothing outside the Marina), given that the epicenter was three counties away.
I have a dynanometer, and I get it to show Error with my right hand. Left hand is about 85kg. I can squeeze (on good day) #3 Iron Mind (right hand), and #2.5 (left hand). Been gripping (but mostly that) for the last 3-4 years, though lots lots of muscle while diagnosed with diabetes II, almost year+half ago, and started low-carbo/keto diet (now I'm from 11 -> 5.6 without medication).

Don't feel super-strong, can do few pull ups, few dips, dozen of push ups and I'm more than 40. Also hate running, hate it since the army...

Point is, I'm skeptical of grip training ~ health. Or maybe if you've over-trained for that aspect, it may be lying...
There is nothing to remember to solve that problem besides the wrote memorization of sapply(df, class).
How to Become Rich by Bath – Vastu Tips |Vastu Expert|Vastu Consultant
I cycle commuted in London in the late 90s and 2000's and we pushed then for two items - to be seen by other road users as real road users (ie not something just to be brushed aside) and for dedicated cycle lanes that would improve safety.

I started cycle commuting again about a year ago (Boris Bikes) and guess what we have dedicated "cycle superhighways"

And the problem it turns out is us cyclists

There is always a traffic jam on the dedicated pathway - the blue cycle lane. And so some (usually but not always male) cyclists jump on and off the lane and engage in dangerous overtaking manoeuvres.

Worst, is that the blue lane runs along normal roads and so has traffic lights at the same positions - and that I guess 25% of cyclists ignore completely a red light and plough through - and twice I have seen these idiots hit pedestrians and two weeks ago came across the fire brigade washing the blood away

We campaigned and rode to be taken as real roads users - and when we got real roads with real traffic light we ignore the real
rules of the road

Cyclists need to have number plates and fines for breaching traffic laws.

sorry.
Eat the Fat Off Review, Work or a Scam?
In my probably unpopular opinion, parenting shouln'd be on the list. It's not a forced activity like sleeping or eating or commuting. It's a conscious choice people make between it and other hobbies.
I have a three-year old. He comes home from daycare at 3pm and is asleep by 7:30, and I don't have to be in bed until 10pm to get my beauty sleep. You double-up on 'parenting time' and things like cleaning up and cooking dinner, but even if you didn't it's not hard to see how two people could divide the time between 3pm and 7:30 with uninterrupted 'parenting time' and still have lots of time left over to take care of obligations and yourself.

And that still leaves 2.5 hours after he goes to bed that you get to spend however you like.

I filled the form in and it tells me I have 11 hours of free time per week, that's with accounting for three hours of parenting per day (i.e not counting it double-booked with any other time, which is how you're really spending it).

People generally have more time available to them than they think, especially if they try to make more effective use of their time.
A feature idea: intentionally include fake news links or fake facts (that you verified are fake of course) and add them to the website as you see fit. This will hopefully reduce bots and ill-mannered actors.
And if you think how wood turns twisted, when it grows faster on the other side and slower on the other, it is not that big leap to think how a wave function would turn if it is evaluated faster on some side. I am proposing here, that the wave function evaluation speed differential causes the gravity.
Yeah; there are a bunch of other variables I'd love to see thrown into a broader multivariate analysis, if somebody was going to really dig into that topic in a real (i.e.: more than 2 hours) way.

"Diffusion of Responsibility" provides a rational, well-understood mechanism by which setting more reviewers might result in longer review times, as the post suggests. But we're still talking about relatively small numbers of people here; who knows how strong the DoR effect is in this case, relative to other variables, such as the complexity of the PR? My intuition is that number of reviewers is more likely to turn out to be a multiplier on other factors affecting code review duration; that having lots of reviewers on a tiny trivial change might make the review go even faster (since it's easy, and more eyes means it might be spotted earlier), whereas having lots of reviewers on a massive complicated change might slow it way down (since everyone puts it off, hoping that someone else will handle it).

It would be really interesting to crank up a big statistical analysis with lots of extra columns of data, to see the strength and amount of correlations between other factors. My money is on "bigger changes lead to longer code reviews and also independently lead to more reviewers being set on the pull request". Which.. would be kind of a boring result which everyone already intuitively knew, admittedly. But at least then we'd know for sure.

Or at least, for p<0.05 sure.
Wow. Can you imagine how that would feel, to have your hand inside of you? I'd worry about accidentally breaking something inside me. Amazing though.
I never particularly cared about belt optimization past 'good enough'. I spent most of my time trying to break things and find edge-cases in the control system. Working around the (purposefully nerfed to keep them from being too powerful) logistics bots issues was probably my favorite thing to tackle.

(That, and building vast quantities of artillery in the middle of almost fully red zones, then flipping the power switch for the loaders and watching the fun. :D)
Can you elaborate, preferably with evidence?
Thank you, really good example for that.

This is also a good one:

> If an antibiotic doesn't wipe out its target, then its target's numbers will be devastated in the short-term, but in the long-term, its target will evolve immunity to the antibiotic and ultimately recover.

> If you think about it, contraceptives are extremely similar to an antibiotic whose target is human beings. We're still living in the short-term when the antibiotic seems to be effective.

Without any further detail or reasoning, just by "thinking about it" (whatever the author meant by that, he did not elaborate), the author draws a pretty extreme conclusion. This seems to be a rather unscientific, political attempt to reply to the original question:

> If this is true, then how do they explain population stabilization in, e.g., Europe, and other developed areas? Why shouldn't what worked for Europe work for the rest of the world?
Those Fabizio Pregadio books look good, thanks for sharing.
Right on, Commander!
> You're not going to start growing wheat in Greenland

Why not? People grow wheat right now at the same longitude in Finland, all you need is for it to get a bit warmer.
In Zambia, and I suspect in Tanzania, too, four-year old siblings also already play a role in taking care of their smaller siblings.
I was in an earthquake in DC in 2011 that, while lower on the Richter scale, felt way worse than the one that happened in LA today.

I didn't even feel the one yesterday either.
Wow, I ask a valid question about a old post and I'm punished with multiple downvotes. Lesson learnt.
Why not? You can run your own VPS with unlimited bandwidth on Scaleway for €3/mo and run your own VPN on that, and other stuff
Let’s Build a Video Card
> But by that way we lost dedup capability

This depends on how secret do you want your data to be. You could use block-based encryption/compression and backup. That way you can still dedup encrypted result.

If anyone can inject data into your system and monitor the backup, they could learn when they hit collisions, but for most personal backup cases that's irrelevant.

Is that why programmers are also obligated to write emails and sit in meetings?
It is school that gets it wrong. In real life, knowing that you don't know something and acting accordingly is often way better than taking a guess.
Is there any need to trust Tor exit nodes at all?
Another color naming confusion is the French "pourpre" vs English "purple". Pourpre in French has more deep red in it than the shade of magenta described by purple. (Don't get me started on violet).
What are you trying to imply here? These research findings aren't hard to validate.

One thing I credit Factorio for (and I am not joking at all when I say this, despite how ridiculous the statement might seem) is learning to be a little more understanding about folks that deal with addictions.
I've never had a problem not doing something to excess, so I never really understood people who do. But when I first discovered Factorio a few years back, there were
enough times where I didn't do $ActuallyRatherImportantThingX because I was allllmost done with some aspect of a megabase to give me pause.

There are lots of games I can play for a specified amount of time and be fine with it. Pretty much all of them, really. Factorio, I get annoyed if pulled away in the middle of a project. So now I know to not even start unless it's free time for the rest of the night.
Do you see Nord in the list?
Not a forced activity? Not a parent I suppose. It is as forced as work. You don't have to work just as you don't have to have a child.
That seems like a good way to build trust with citizens outside of China. I believe that a wide portion of people in Western Europe and the US are distrustful of the Chinese government so excluding those individuals is a positive.
Exactly the same happened. I've never been a community like this but I'm truly feeling appreciation.
I'm in North Dakota right now for a few days from SF... you'd be trading earthquakes for mosquitos, ticks, and snow!
A similar thing happens to me when I fly. My boarding passes usually truncate the middle name field which in my case (typically) results in the name of a religious figure rather than an uncommon or obviously truncated name.

This has never been an actual issue (or even commented on), but another middle name discrepancy has. Back in high school, there were some issues with my name on my state ID not exactly matching the school's entry for me.
I'm interested in partnering.
I envision it as crowdfunding surrounded with some form of community. Buy up land, plant trees, webcams and video's to visit it, excursions to go there for a picknick. I love the idea tho give each tree an email/web/chat address.

But also plant solar panels. Conservation, buy or lease pieces of rainforest that need protecting.
Attract the money from carbon tax, emission rights, companies and governments that want to greenwash their reputation. I have been inspired to work on this ever since seeing [1] when I was 10 years old.
My grandfather bought a forest and walked me through it when I was a 4 year old boy. It instilled the idea of stewardship for our planet.
And then there is the (mythical) 500 year old tree story about New College, Oxford to inspire [2].
A trillion trees is not enough, there are 3 trillion already, we need to double that [3].
When I go on walks I'll check up on all the trees my mom or dad and I talked about. I'll visit them, rather then their graves.

Which country was your exit IP ? was it the US ?

What happens if you route it through servers in Qatar, Thailand or Singapore ?
In some situations it can be more important to get the news out than to have it perfect. Whether this is one of those situations I don't want to make the call on since I'm two continents and one ocean away from it but I can imagine that there is some pressure with an event like this.
Making meals for the kids can be done at the same time as making meals for yourself, no extra time spent there unless you make exceptions for them.
No need to activate the kid, kids can entertain themselves if you let them.
Helping them with homework is not important, no, you can tell them to do their homework but that doesn't take a lot of time to do.

The thing is that you as a parent has extremely small influence on your kid. Your goal should be to provide a stress free environment they can feel safe in, you do that by not stressing about all of these things, everything else you do for your kid is for your own sake. Every hour you force feed them information and activities is an hour they don't get to discover and experience things on their own. Both are valuable, so picking one over the other doesn't really change much.
I try to make it a point to do all the chores when the kids are awake. When they are asleep is time to relax; not do mundane tasks

I don't feel it's my duty to entertain my kinds every waking hour, so if they have to settle with watching me fold the laundry or unload the dishwasher, so be it.

This probably won't win me the father-of-the-year award, and it is parenting-style me and my girlfriend don't always agree about, but I refuse to sacrifice all my free time for my children.
UB includes the code not compiling, although it rarely happens in practice.
I was thinking about the command line tools. It's extremely clear that they came from Solaris and there has been no effort made to make them feel more like they belong in a BSD system.
How would you feel about this choice if one of your children died of cancer?

Would you still think you'd made the right choice, or would you regret prioritising laundry over your children?
Citation is required for a claim like that.

Edit: I was being sarcastic. Thought it would be obvious.
Not sure if it really helps when making a choice but here's an extensive overview of 185 VPN services over 30+ factors:

Planting more trees could suck up a share of carbon emissions
That sounds very naive. Yes people have chosen to have kids (and some haven’t) but you also chose where and how you work so by similar logic we should discount those choices. Once you have kids there are a lot of things that aren’t optional, and unlike a long commute aren’t easy to change.
But is it documented only because it is documentable? Other encyclopedias don't have an openly visible history of edits. Their bias isn't non existent it's just hidden.
There are many factors at play here.

Technology: BMW's bet was on lightweight materials and less on battery technology as an enabler for ecological, electric vehicles. Production is still costly and more complex than for e.g. the 3 series. Currently, there is only one plant that is equipped with the necessary manufacturing capabilities (Leipzig).

Manufacturing: You need to adapt the assembly lines, which is not as trivial as it may sound. BMW's future platforms will allow assembly of EV's along ICE's on the same belts! At that point, you can produce EVs in all of BMW's plants (... with some modifications)

Financial: BMW is not really making money with the i3, production is too costly. Given that BMW is a public company, you don't want to mass produce a product that eats your profit. Try to explain that to "traditional" shareholders that like their dividends. TSLA is an entirely different stock, which can do what it does due to its growth story.

Also: Plants cost a lot of money build and operate. Stopping the production in a plant for a while to remodel it for a different assembly process as well (... not to mention the retraining of all the workers, new logistical processes). The magnitude is somewhere in the million dollars per day.

Human factors: In German labor law, you can't just fire people. Giving up on ICEs means that you have a lot of people that are not qualified for alternative technologies and need to be retrained. This does not happen in days or weeks - at the scale of BMW this takes years and of course is happening.

Sourcing: You need to source all the materials, incl. batterie. My guess is that BMW wanted to work with established players that know car manufacturing. However, that was probably a mistake given that e.g. BOSCH decided to quit (https://electrek.co/2018/02/28/bosch-gives-up-battery-cell-p...)

Shareholders: We had the topic before, but BMW is special here that the Quandt family owns roughly 46% of BMW. Accordingly they have a major influence on all decisions at BMW. They act definitely not like an Elon Musk - they are very cautious and strategic. They also seem to act labor friendly and have a positive impact on the work conditions at BMW (... again meaning that they will make sure that BMW doesn't have to let go a lot of people).
Also, Z to drop something on the ground if you find your bots a little to assertive about filling your inventory back up and you find yourself stuck. :D
