There are multiple partnerships and ownerships in VPN and data mining industries that are not publicly admitted, unless something goes wrong[1][2].

Although the presence of these relationships alone is not always enough to claim that customers' privacy has been violated, it makes these companies look much less trustworthy in the long run.

There are many ways to lie using facts and statistics (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51291.How_to_Lie_with_St... )

If you extrapolate a bit, apply some basic correlation twisting you can infer a lot of wrongful conclusion that is useful to specific agendas. We see this a lot in politics
A lot of people in this thread are complaining that the US does this to but does anyone seriously believe that having Huawei tech embedded in American infrastructure is a good idea?

Well, yeah, if anyone wants to write their pipes that way that is also an option. They aren't going to though, that isn't really human readable when there is a sensible option like using a pipe operator.
Isn't this basically what Duplicity does? It uses GPG to encrypt files before sending them to the remote server.

Its definitely the idea. I know it works well enough for a lot of people, but for me, I'm happy to just give up on the dynamic behavior in favor of a simpler universe.

The last thing I want to be thinking about is whether my compiler needs a "hint" that something can be stack allocated, for instance. That is their business, not mine.
Also, if there is a god, (s)he surely knows the difference between true belief/faith and pretending just in case.
IPv6 works the same way.

Masquerading NAT is not a security feature. You need state tracking to build a masquerading NAT (so that your residential gateway knows which internal machine to route reply traffic to), and once you have state tracking, you can build a stateful firewall. It doesn't matter which version of IP is carrying the traffic, it still has to go through your gateway before it can get to you, and the gateway can do all the policing you want it to.

If you want certain services on your internal machines to be reachable from the outside over IPv6, you open up that service's port in your gateway's firewall configuration, which is ... exactly what you do for IPv4 too.

OpenWRT (a popular third-party residential gateway firmware) has a stateful IPv4 and IPv6 firewall and DHCPv6/PD support out of the box. You flash it, and if your ISP provides IPv6, you're done. If they don't, you can set up e.g. a 6in4 tunnel with Hurricane Electric, and you're done.

It's not complicated. Yes, you have to learn some things, but they're the same things you had to learn when you were starting out with IPv4.
I hope this works seamlessly in my emailing/scheduling workflow, or better yet replaces it entirely. Some quick feedback:

1. Terms of service seem over-bearing (see @whydoineedthis)

2. Show me a demo before making me provide personal info (email) and consent.

3. Yellow button on yellow background, ugh

4. "Made with happiness and abundant goodness." Cool, prove it. Show me who's behind this.
>US companies can meaningfully resist the US government

This ideation is moot if there are members of the US government on staff, committed to 'finishing the patriotic mission' of their spook-agency masters.
...and in general of most things that have been around longer, or are biologically simpler (a non-perfect hint being plain size).

Huge organisms like humans built on the biological infrastructure available, and are thus to some degree dependent on what came before them.

Having said that - people are now the evolutionary vehicle for memes, which are far faster to evolve than lowly genes. It's quite plausible people would not go extinct due to that adaptability even if global warming devastated the planet beyond the worst current projections and the vast majority of insects went extinct (at a realistic pace, not 'all invertebrates instantly'). But "not going extinct" is a far cry from "comfortably thriving". Aiming for survival seems like a bad idea to me.

Who cares if we absolutely need (most) insects - we definitely want them.
That's a really good point, they'll be able to place VPN endpoints near their CDN endpoints and minimize additional latency, while still knowing the client's original IP for filtering, analytics, and providing geography based views. There's value added for both the VPN users and Cloudflare clients.
Did Spain ever have this "national unity" ?
It's categorically dangerous to have a easily pressed button shift gears in the car. I don't see how it's relevant that some designer can say "don't put something that can be used as a cupholder next to it".

The design creates a hazard that's categorically avoided in other vehicles, without any benefit other than saving a few dollars for the manufacturer. I can't imagine what else they're gaining over having a traditional gear stick there, it would take up the same amount of space.
>It has been shown, that more sophisticated embeddings encode a non-linear space where such transformations are possible.

Main paper doi/arxiv of this please? It seems potentially powerful to combine with reference graphs for automatic inference of proper causality from text-based communication streams. Like twitters firehose, GDELT, HN, etc.

I'm trying to track such analysis techniques on the side for applications to auto-crawling/archiving of things likely being short-lived data, yet part of the causality chain leading up to big, global events.

It'd provide an archive for future historians to analyze how humanity fucked up.

I haven't seen an actually feasible way yet, though.
You had to go back 12 years for your example. I think that speaks pretty loudly to the differences between countries.

> What happened to Common Lisp?

Common Lisp is probably in its best shape ever. There is finally a good package manager (https://www.quicklisp.org/), plenty of documentation (https://common-lisp.net/documentation), and active communities on reddit, #lisp and elsewhere (http://planet.lisp.org/).

There is and has always been a lot of FUD around Lisp, and Common Lisp in particular. You even mentioned a few examples. My explanation on why this is the case is that learning Common Lisp really takes some time and dedication, but our lazy brains try hard to avoid that and find silly excuses instead (Too many parentheses!).

> are there any compelling reasons for an average Joe programmer like me to start learning Common Lisp in 2019?

If you manage to use Common Lisp in a project, you get an enormous boost to productivity. It is the best language for 'getting stuff done' that I know of. Even if you cannot use Common Lisp directly, knowing it will stop you from reinventing a lot of wheels. Greenspun's tenth rule is real.
Well you could argue they would do better with more resources.

Anyway: the Guardian is just one paper. Support independent journalism, whether it's the NYT / WSJ / WaPo / FT / your favourite non-clickbait news platform.
Correct, it's been twelve years. Nacchio was the most recent person stupid enough to say no to the US government. They made an example of him. In recent years, US telecom CEOs know they should quietly say yes, and not put up a fight.
The Netherlands is free to set any laws it wants about where scooters are allowed, but if you're talking about the 25 km/h limited pedelec E-Bikes they're allowed on the bicycle lanes by an EU-wide legislation that The Netherlands is subject to.

The radioactive gas was probably noble gases like krypton and xenon. They'd have to be careful with the xenon, as 137Xe decays to dangerous 137Cs (halflife 3.8 minutes). The idea "all the radioactivity stays in the salt" can be wrong, as that xenon could deposit the cesium outside the salt if it bubbles out quickly enough.

135Xe also can be removed (halflife ~9.2 hours). It is famously a very powerful neutron poison with important effects on reactor operation; those advocating thermal breeders count on it being removed before it soaks up neutrons. But this leads to an increase in production of its decay product, 135Cs, which has a halflife of 2.3 million years.
> If anyone thinks the paper is wrong, they are stating that the measures of those values are wrong. The rest is inevitable.

First you argue that if the paper is right, the measurements must be right. Then you argue that if the measurements are right, the paper must be right. Both arguments seem illogical, especially when used in that combination.
You are kidding right? You can’t see any problem embedding Chinese spy equipment throughout the country?

This is for a different kind of accessibility; the one for the people you're not thinking of with your bike lanes.

As somebody who likes walkable, bikeable areas; I find that a lot of "cities for people" folks are, ideologically, a couple hops away from culling the disabled to make way for their utopia. I'm only half-joking.
If you procrastinate because you feel overwhelmed, it may help to start with meditation and the bare essentials of the other items. That way you can work on aligning the part of your mind which seeks to accomplish these things (manager) with the part that actually does the work (laborer). You may find that the manager needs to lower its expectations while the laborer needs fewer tasks in order to do a good job at the tasks it is given.

Anecdotally, I’ve found that intrinsic motivation is more effective than extrinsic motivation. If you’re trying to keep up with someone else, question or examine that.

Right. It's appalling how often I see Twitter metrics drive product decisions --- as if Twitter were the real world. It's a cheap and easy substitute for real market research. When you let Twitter lead you around by the nose, you're going to see an awfully distorted view of the world.
It is clear from the author other tweets, that he is on a mission..
Yes, I do. Here's a few reasons:

- I genuinely think that the Huawei stories are by and large protectionist fearmongering and that Huawei products would win in a free and high-information (and high-correct-information, of course) market. I think better, cheaper products are good for the US.

- If Huawei is actually using their products to spy, or there is even a belief of such, that incentivizes the use of end-to-end secure protocols that don't trust routers, open-source and verifiable devices for end users, etc. If it's just the US government, there's a strong pressure on US companies not to treat their own government as an adversary, which creates the danger that it's easy for the government to become an adversary (even if they are not today, it can change hands quickly).

- I don't think China is any more evil than the US. So if I'm okay with using infrastructure from AT&T and its Room 641A, Verizon and its Quantico circuit, and the various PRISM companies, I have no logical reason to object to infrastructure that may be similarly compromised by the Chinese government.
4TB is a lot of personal data - $192/y for that isn't cheap, but I wouldn't call it expensive either for a first world country. And I suppose syncing masses of personal data to an archive across the world is kind of a 1st world problem.
I think I'm with you but I don't understand how this is a criticism of QBism (if that's indeed what it is). It's possible for one's beliefs to turn out to be completely wrong because of some secret actions which you were not aware of. This is just as true classically as in the quantum regime. I don't see that this requires more of an explanation than we've already given it.
Or, in case there isn't anything "after this life", you could be wasting your last days in unnecessary solitude, facing the fear and pain all alone in the name of tormenting yourself about past and, by that moment, completely irrelevant things. In the end, it's a very personal choice, so why not let everyone choose it for themselves
In the context of national security, the keyword is actually “NSA”. Having US intel working in US infrastructure is not a threat to national security, having Chinese intel working in US infrastructure is.

There will still be bandwidth limitations. Same with 5g whenever that comes. Fibre isn't going anywhere.
What you wrote there would be true if the levelized cost of energy from nuclear weren't so high. As it stands, the dirt cheapness of renewables (and particularly of renewables as they will be a decade in the future as they continue down their aggressive experience curves) will make dealing with intermittency cheaper than going with nuclear.

It could make sense to continue to operate existing nuclear power plants while taxing carbon emission, but the CO2 tax needed to justify new nuclear plants would be outrageously high. Long before that level of tax was reached renewables would snipe the market.
Almost no cities are designed for cars, as almost all cities are far older than cars.

Thanks for your reply.

Just checked out vpnscam.com for the first time, and its content scream in tinfoil hats giving me negative first impression.

It's really a dilemma to me: small providers haven't proven themselves to be trustworthy, while well established ones are connected to another business somewhat. How does one choose a reliable VPN provider?

And same goes with self hosted OpenVPN server, what's to say that the VPS provider will always put customers' interest first?

Slightly worse, I would think. Another reason not to give up your guns to the benevolence of government.

If you find that the example above is not "human readable" then the following code will make your head explode because it cannot be transformed into a pipe representation (or at least it's not so straightforward):

I'm easy to be one of the curiosity cogs ...if there's an autonomous fuel tank for this I haven't found it yet. More seriously,I think that 80% pig my work its exploratory and driven to a large degree by curiosity.

I think part of the problem at the moment is that cyclists have been marginalised so much that the law hasn't really applied to them (example, most traffic lights in the UK don't detect cyclists, there was at one little used junction on a prior commute that I had to jump the lights on, because the lights never changed in my favour).

I would hope that as the infrastructure improves, so too would the outlook of cyclists regarding the rules.
The sparse tensor perspective intrigues me, could you perhaps provide me with some references?
Ericsson's popular-market book Peak has much more than the paper (there are many citations in the back).

Regarding:

> - I don't think China is any more evil than the US.

In my opinion, citizens of China have it far worse, due to things like the Great Firewall. I'd much rather live in the US than China, at least it's vaguely democratic.
> And as CT scans are private information, why would you assume it would be Ok to make them available through a public server and send them over the internet?

Encryption. A magical tool to make sure things are not available to anyone just because they are available on the Internet. Email on the other hand is so insecure (and cannot be easily encrypted, because many popular programs/email-providers don't support it) that a server sounds like a far better idea.

edit/expanded: I have seen all variants here. Usually you go to another hospital, so they don't have all your things. If this is planned I have all the things I got with me, so the doctors have to filter, sort and scan them (every hospital has to do this again), but at least they have something to start with.

Often the other hospital also sent something before you arrive if this is a planned cooperation. Maybe these two things together are enough, sometimes they are not. If it's just a report the current hospital can ask for it from the other and they get it faxed. But maybe it's a CT, MRT or whatever scan. These things are big, so they get send per courier, which takes time. Now you have to maybe wait longer for whatever you are there for. In extreme cases it can go down to "I here have what you want and you need it now, so you ask me questions over the phone and I answer you" which is asking for all kinds of problems. All in all the current process is slow, involves repeating work and leads to not everyone having the whole picture.

The need to make sure all these private data are safe is very real, but though is the need to get better than this system, cause it doesn't work well and we know that something better is possible here.

Learn to do it yourself. If privacy is your top priority, you can't trust any available VPN providers out there.
If you find data.table more useful, you should by all means use it.

My greatest regret about coining the word tidyverse is that for some reason people seem to think it’s a monolith. It’s not; you’re totally free to pick and choose whatever parts of it you find useful.

It doesn’t hurt my feelings if packages that I have help write aren’t the perfect fit for your problems. Use whatever makes you happy :)
Maybe they were referring to the i3 REx, which also has an ICE.

Thinking about this issue from another direction.
You mentioned he had an issue with chronic fatigue. What if that is actually the main factor for him not being able to focus on work. The psychological factor of not being able to deliver on promises especially since you are family could drive him down a spiral even more. Feeling bad for playing games, then playing even more games out of frustration, because it kills thinking time.
I met countless people with similar issues over the years and many of them could resolve their problems changing their habits and diet to a healthier one, making sure they get all the necessary vitamins (especially B12,D if they happen to be vegetarian/vegan), and of course doing physical excercise. Just doing low sets of simple Push-ups, Squats, short running, ... 5 days a week can help tremendously in the first few weeks with mental stability.

If the fatigue is not his problem, it could be he is just not believing in the success of your mission/product anymore and feels bad about, does not know how to approach you about it.

If he is still believing. Try to attack the health issue, motivation first.

You should definitly have a serious talk with him what you both can do to improve the situation.
Again, I don’t see how it can reduce read APIs. If you haven’t read the data you can’t change the data.

Also I fail to see how graphql can simplify an API, the graphql operates on the actual APIs so if you don’t understand those, you’ll probably not understand the graphql version of it too.
On your computer yes, but the question specifically doesn't tell you what computer and compiler are used. So thus you can't know what the number is.
The US has a national security letters. There is no meaningfully resisting. You do what they say and cant tell anyone about it.
Also, China is willing to be more evil to Americans than the U.S. is to Americans.
I'm not sure how you got "constant distraction" from this. What I saw was an enormous amount of love and support offered to this boy in his final moments.
Pretty much all of the individual components of the tidyverse were created before the tidyverse since it’s only 3 years old.

But there’s no reason to use only the tidyverse. That’s not something I’ve ever recommended and it would be extremely hard. I just object to people claiming that some of the most important parts of the tidyverse aren’t actually parts of it.
The Hermitcraft gang played Minecraft with a dying kid this season. I wonder if it was the same one, or if this is becoming a (wondeful) trend.

Hermitcraft is a bunch of adults doing their best to play with the spirit of children, and they're good at it. The energy and creativity they spent playing with this kid were impressive. They seemed to get a lot out of it. In fact they should probably make a point of inviting a kid to play regularly, terminal or not, because it seems that they gain from it about as much as the kid.
