I'm actually surprised simple tunneling is working and they don't have additional protections.

From my experience most of public networks won't let you do much this way. However, it seems it (as most captive portals) has access to DNS servers.

There was this tool people were using to bypass VPNs blocking and throttling in China called kcptun. It was letting you tunnel tcp traffic over udp, then SSL tunnel on top of it. With a server listening on port 53, it was working awesome to avoid QOS and managed to 1- bypass authentication and 2- get absolutely amazing speeds on some airport wifis for example. You probably could do the same with an openVPN on UDP 53.

However, it seems most public wifis are smarter and would blacklist your Mac address if either too much traffic is going through, or you say for too long. You can change your address, but it's not really usable. Still fun though!

Also, it seems most public wifis now do more DPI and they won't let other traffic than DNS go on UDP 53.

This in minds, another one I haven't been looking through much is DNS tunneling - would love to hear anyone's experience about it (I've heard it's very slow...)

Edit: seeing a few comments about the unethical aspect of this. In some cases, it might be. In some others, it is about avoiding a system that tracks you and try to gather and resell as much information as it can about you (it varies a lot according to which country you're in).
The Neuralink presentation a few days ago made the important point that the physics of neurons makes it impossible to read and/or write their state with any kind of accuracy without getting very, very close to them.

As such, these kinds of completely non-invasive methods of interfacing with the brain are a dead end. Barring breakthroughs in scanning technologies that completely upend basic laws of physics, you will always be limited to a low-bandwidth channel that only works by reading the crude, aggregate state of the whole brain or a large area of it, and requires extensive training for participants to learn how to send basic signals.

Since the limits here are hard physical ones, not ones that can be engineered around, there's no way for this to be gradually refined into a more useful system. It will ways be a hack. If we're going to produce high-bandwidth brain-machine / brain-machine-brain interfaces that allow useful collaboration, it's going to require getting inside the skull and getting up close and personal with brain matter, whether we like it or not.

IMHO, it stems from never updating our basic education from an information-scarce world to an information-flooded one.

I'm firmly in favor of making a media consumption class mandatory for primary education. Essentially a mix of logic & fallacies, evaluating sources, and meta scientific news literacy.

> I always found it odd that rent control always seems to be an all-or-nothing policy: either things are tamped down on, or it's a laissez faire system.

It's not. Rent control argument on the internet looks like that because it's always a bunch of strawman arguments about political philosophy. In fact the Oregon laws in question have features exactly like what you're talking about.
That assumes that the market is able to bear those costs. What do landlords do in stable markets where rents are flat or track inflation? Are all rentals dilapidated in those markets?
Those three positions are substantive? How so.., I assume if you're that loose with the word.. the most widely shared definition of free will should be substantive to you. Even one could say free will rejects the idea that we are imprisoned by a physical nexus of 'cause & effect' and typically what people follow from reading the bible. Evil fairy tales that delude a person. Anyhow I wish I knew of cause & effect very young because then I wouldn't have been grossly taken advantaged of and I assume is the reason the majority of people are conditioned to stay deluded.
In most of Europe building maintenance costs are counted outside of rent. This makes it difficult to hunt and compare flats as those costs can greatly vary.
> Is that factually accurate, or just a false impression that people get?

I don't know, and its a good question; the answer should definitely inform regulations like these. Though, even if the fear is imagined, it will still affect your behavior and how you're able to parent. I think its also important to note that it isn't just safety at risk here- its opportunity. High density areas are unlikely to support multi-use infrastructure since the primary use will force out secondary uses (e.g. playing kickball in the street).

There are also a variety of other things you can slot into that sentence that dont invoke the sanctity of kid safety. Admittedly, a lot of them are more personal decisions that don't require regulations enforced on others.

University bullshit experts: Fake face software signals a new era of AI-based BS

I suspect that isn't netflix's decision to make. Everyone is trying to get into the streaming market these days, and the only way to capture subscribers is to offer up content that other services don't have, which means they're willing to burn huge piles of investor money to lock up exclusive rights.

Yes, it defeats the whole point of streaming subscriptions. Yes, it'll drive a large segment of the subscriber base back to piracy. But it's a classic prisoner's dilemma.

As long as I'm speculating about shit i know nothing about, I'll follow up by predicting that the next wave - after things get bad enough - is cross-licensing deals between the bigger surviving players. That'll improve the value proposition to subscribers (great for us!) and also raise barriers to entry, so next will be the price gouging. Oh, and somewhere in there will be the contracts that prevent content creators/distributors from licensing new stuff to anyone else (unless they are one of the surviving streaming services.)
I'm not sure the crowd here is technical enough to use your advice. Or at least that's my conclusion after seeing this same whining thread on every. single. submission.
The threequal operator aside, my experience is that none of these decisions really matter in themselves. What is far more important is agreement and consistency. Use the same style everywhere, enforce it automatically, don’t bikeshed over it, and get on with doing actual things that matter.

"Innocent until proven guilty" is an important standard for justice (you can't jail someone without sufficient proof) but it's not something that applies to everyday life.

For example, if a child care provider is accused of abusing children, but the court does not convict them because of lack of evidence, I'm still free to stop sending my kids there.

From somewhat outdated memory: lithium is thermodynamically less stable in the presence of water, but the reaction is slower than it is for sodium. (And so on: potassium and cesium react even more violently with water.)

But this is largely moot, as lithium in salt form (Li+) does not react with water. I would be more concerned about the beryllium salt dissolving in water and escaping. Beryllium is nasty.
I don't see how that would give me comfort in a society that is conditioned and even manipulated to think contrary. I see people in prison and even if they're innocent (in the traditional sense) of the crime. Your rhetoric is typically voiced from people assuming it's not good to understand reality and I typically think what nonsense. I guess similar to how some people preferred everyone assuming the world to be flat. Simply, assuming it's better to think contrary doesn't make reality not so.

In the USA this would be a violation of the CFAA https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1030. Specifically, the router is a "protected computer" and the procedure described here is "exceeding authorised access" because it routes packets around a mechanism that was designed to stop them. Maximum penalty 5 years.

(Some might argue that it was authorised because the computer let him do it. However the CFAA simply doesn't work that way. "Authorisation" is what the designers intended, and the initial paywall made that intention perfectly clear.)
No they don't. Gypsies are a large ethnic minority in many eastern european countries. Also, although a religious minority instead of racial, there are a large percentage of Muslims in many of those countries too. Don't forget that the last european genocide over ethnic and religious lines happened in eastern europe too.

Also don't forget their is currently an ONGOING war in the Ukraine over divisions between those who are ethnically Russian and those are ethnically Ukranian.

I'm not preaching diversity as a virtue in itself but the idea that places like Eastern Europe are some kind of ethnic utopia where you can leave your doors unlocked and kids play on the streets just because everybody is white is just absurd.

Safety pretty much always comes at a cost (of some kind) Even if that cost is just being forced into a more restrictive model. In some cases this actually limits what you can do, but in the case of JS's === it's about doing what the programmer is expecting. I think many people would agree that JS casts types too liberally at times [1], and using === is a good way to avoid the confusion that can cause.

Other language features cause other confusions.

Quotes generally boil down to arguments about escaping, and have good reason for existing. Having a rule for when to use what quotes should be pretty inferable from when you need to use what quote to escape the data in question.

New array vs literal is more a pure aesthetics issue, and I can only really say, choose whatever you think the majority of people would read faster. Don't be different just to be different, and move on.

I've been a solo-founder multiple times (a couple quite successful). There are lots of advantages of being a solo founder, but there are also a number of struggles. The biggest struggle bus I seemed to always be on is the loneliness or isolation which is how I describe it. When you have a co-founder the isolation is still there, but you have someone to share it with, which helps you motivate each other and push each other.

For me, to overcome that isolation, I found that I had to engage people in the industry more, engage with activities and people that I feel were reasons I started. This helped me fight the isolation. Another good side affect of doing this is that I was able to meet more customers, engage them directly and use that to help me not feel so isolated.

I also feel finding someone you can turn to and just vent that understands you are not fatalistic but have to vent so you can get it out of your head to refocus is critical. Sometimes you get 2 people, one too vent to like that, and one who can mentor you in the business aspects. I am lucky that I had a mentor that would/could do both, and he has the credibility on business.

Today I have more than one mentor but for different things. I am also not a founder currently but it is only a matter of time before I start something new. And given my past, there is a high likelihood I will be solo again unless I just ran into the right co-founder.

IANAL and all that, but my perception is that "hacking" is usually about breaking into someone else's computer / breaching someone else's privacy / accessing data that isn't yours / etc. If that perception is accurate, then I think it's really a stretch to call this "hacking". You're just moving bits around on network infrastructure designed to move bits around. Maybe I'm just looking for a loophole because wishful thinking, but this seems like a decent argument to me.

Now, you could be violating their terms of service. But in this case there may be a good argument that you never accepted their terms of service since you wouldn't have had to click the "accept" button to do what the post describes.
Here’s an anti rent control argument I haven’t heard (this applies to stricter rent control regimes like NYC, SF - not sure about this new OR law). Getting a spot in a rent-controlled apartment is a valuable, non-transferable asset. If you buy a house and it gains $100,000 in equity, you can sell it and buy a bigger house, sell it and cash out while getting a smaller house, borrow against it. With a rent-control asset, you can’t do any of those things, so you have fewer options, but if you move, you just forfeit the asset. That’s a big economic drag.

I wonder how many rent-controlled residents in SF/NYC would accept a $100k buyout that would convert the apt to market rate. Has anyone seen a study of the spreads between market/rent-controlled, by city/zip/census tract? I’d love to see that.
It's hard to explain to junior engineers why chasing fads is a bad idea. Why boring technology is often the best choice. That's only something that most people figure out with experience.

It's funny how the HN community which is left leaning, start to whine whenever they see news like this.

Y'all let them CNN, The Guardian, and the BBC drive you. You all ask for hard evidence. Yet I am waiting for one of you to confirm you have been in the Amazon.

Why didn't you say anything for ~20 years when the duo Hugo Chavez/Nicolas Maduro have been destroying the Amazon? Destroying.

Why didn't you say anything about it for ~12 years when Chavez's friends Lula Da Silva/Dilma Rousseff were ruling Brazil?

Yet, Bolsonaro hadn't taken office and The Guardian was talking about it: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/oct/09/brazils-...

I've seen first hand during decades what's been going on in the Amazon. Guess what.. Greenpeace does not give a fuck. They look the other way when it comes down to criticize left leaning government:

1. That's why they don't say anything about Maduro's impact in the Amazon.

2. That's why they don't say anything about Lula and Dilma's impact in the Amazon.

Most of you are the same ones who whine on the Donald Trump and immigrants issue, yet say NOTHING about Obama being the president who deported the most people out of our country. It's on the ICE website.
> anti-social lifestyle decreases face to face contact and increases barrier to connect with others

This cannot be overstated enough. My pet theory is that the suburbification of America led to our current division and political strife. You cannot expect great results when those with the most combined political power and wealth in the nation sequester themselves individually away from others and even each other. This ends up with anti-social people driving social policy for the nation. And it shows.

The older I get, watching the first generation fully raised in "suburban culture" seems to be a lesson in watching the threads of a society break down in real time. It's amazing to me that within 2-3 generations we completely blew up the notion of extended families and close-knit community taking care of each other.

That said...

> If I could vote to make these neighborhoods illegal, I would.

I'm not quite willing to go that far. I would simply make zoning them illegal. If an area is desirable enough to toss up a giant single family home next door to a few 3 flats - so be it. But I should be just as allowed to come buy that place, tear it down, and toss a small apartment building in it's place. Additionally I'd be in favor of laws that make it illegal (or exceedingly difficult) to require setbacks/minimum parking/etc. for most areas.

Basically I'd like to see a legal framework that brings us back to "natural" incremental city development vs. this BS planned crap that never works. The only cities in the world people marvel at (at least in western societies) are those that predated zoning law.

Choice and freedom are a beautiful thing. The problem now is there is little choice due to subsidy and zoning laws.
> The language designer saw fit to include both.

=== wasn't introduced until ECMAScript 3 in 1999, originally there was only == when the language was created in '95.

The accepted wisdom is to prefer the newer === in the interest of clarity and consistency. With ==, it's easy to forget about one of the types it overloads (e.g. string vs. number) when making changes to existing code, and correct-looking code may behave unexpectedly for one of these types.
Saying that a country like Romania is not ethnically homogeneous is absurd. Gypsies exist but in low numbers and stay in ghettos. Muslims only exist in some countries of the south of the Balkans.
It's straight up unauthorized access to a computer system. They tell you they don't allow it and you have to pay for it, the author clearly knew that, and evaded the protections. Cite me a legal environment where that is not a crime.

Am I the only one that wants their browser to be 100% stateless? I always run in incognito mode, and I have an external password manager. I have no problems with this setup except sites that detect and block incognito mode.

Other than caching, there is no legitimate benefit to allow pages to store local state beyond a session, and I can forgo caching at this point in the game. (I don’t care about offline web apps, to be clear)

Maintaining a whitelist of sites that can have session state would be trivial (the sites in my password manager are a great first cut). I don’t want to restart my browser periodically to clear everything else’s session state.

How hard would it be to build something like this?

The comment about the 24Mbps is pretty impressive. My experience every month on the JAL flights SF to Tokyo and Tokyo to $SomeOtherAsianCity is pretty crappy.

Slack connects and disconnects all time. Email works but is slow. Webpages take minutes to load. Every flight for the last few years so...

That might be the case but it's also nuts. It encourages litigation over better design and makes public enemies out of security professionals, ultimately driving away those professionals from the US and making US developed tech weak.
" > Unfortunately, rent control will have the opposite effect of what Oregon thinks, and only make housing scarcity worse."

I couldn't agree more.

Proposal: Current* property owners love new commercial property and HATE new residential units. (This is how you game the system to get prices up). What state governments should be doing is requiring new residential property on all approved new commercial property. This way, if a local city board really wants that new "Panera Bread" - they must approve new housing.
I just want to be sure I understand: are you saying that it is right and just to lose our capacity to start our own companies because of false allegations?
Great idea, I second that! Could there be a special marketplace for rent controlled places? Could allow people to swap with each other and/or use public servant status as a credit, to help teachers, firefighters, etc get living in very pricy districts.
