big fan of pritunl vpn. hands down the best vpn interface i've ever used. i would actually say it was pleasant. It only took about an hour to setup my first one, and it's like a 15 minute task to setup a new one now. highly recommend it for anyone setting up a new vpn.

Russia also recruits cyber criminals, offering reduced sentences if they work for the government[1]
"The cellmate said that people incarcerated for cybercrimes could get out before trial, in exchange for working for the government. Another inmate had already taken a deal, he said.

“It was an offer to cooperate,” Mr. Artimovich said.

“Why else would you work for the government?” he added. “The salaries are tiny. But if you do something illegal, and go to prison for eight or nine years, the F.S.B. can help you,” he said, using a Russian abbreviation for the Federal Security Service."

> every company/hiring startup is making tools to just feed your word docs

Whereas pdftotext tools have been there since forever.

I've written tools to try and extract text from docx files programmatically (not CVs but citations and footnote citations) and I seriously doubt "hiring startups" wouldn't just ask you to fill a web form.

(As a matter of fact, I'm low key job hunting and what I've seen typically is that the systems try to extract the text from my non-standard formatting latex-made pdf, and then pre-fill a form. The form is usually right but needs fixes here and there. It's a good approach.)
Uber and Lyft will probably respond by directing the drivers more closely ( http://coyoteblog.com/coyote_blog/2019/09/why-california-for... ). They’re in a position to do so. You are correct that smaller companies probably couldn’t pull that off.

They also require very different strengths & skillsets in founders. B2B products are usually sold, not bought. Sales skills in the founder are paramount, as well as a personality that can take rejection well and find win-wins and value-adds for the customer.

B2C products live and die by viral growth and word-of-mouth, because margins are not usually enough to support a consultative sales process or any sort of intensive advertising. That requires a founder that's really good at reading the zeitgeist and identifying needs that customers never knew they had, and that understands human psychology on an unconscious level. Often technical skills (on the founding team) matter more for B2C markets as well, because it's more critical to stand out from the competition.

Timing also matters more with B2C. There are some time periods (now, dot-com bust, or the late 80s & early 90s) where there are basically no viable B2C ideas available. There are also time periods (early 80s, dot-com boom, 2009-2013) where they are abundant. Unfortunately you often don't realize this until hindsight reveals all the people who kept working on their B2C ideas throughout the bust.

I think it means that contracting can't be a part of a company core business model - as is in the case for uber, lyft, or cleaning services.

Examples of a contractor here would be: hiring a third-party graphic designer for a few months while you ramp up hiring at a startup.
It is, but a headline mentioning some small-time Uber competitor wouldn't get any clicks.
Sounds like an interesting plan.

Where is the money going to come from? We cutting something else? Like outdated military infrastructure since we should be ramping up for the cyber future? Or are we instead going to ramp up the deficit spending more to cover the extra expenses?

Have you actually thought your proposed solution through? Have you considered the larger picture?

We're already deficit spending at a level approaching USD1.5T. How do we handle the financial implications of such a shift?

Most of the "best and brightest" in America, are not, in fact, American. How do we get them the necessary security clearances? Should we be giving them that level of clearance?

I won't even go into the fact that the private sector would still be making all of the best tech as they gobbled up intellectual capital from around the globe, and we only have the US to snap people up from. Sure France, Germany, Russia, China etc can only snap people up from their nations too, but they have much better educational systems.

This problem requires more considered thought, and very likely a little bit of creativity, to work through.
I'm not a fan of all these moves to treat drivers as employees for one simple reason: you can drive for more than one company at the same time.

Here's what I don't want:

- I don't want quotas as NYC is doing. This is just recreating the taxi medallion system.

- I don't want each company to be forced to pay a minimum wage per hour that then means a driver loses the flexibility to drive for multiple companies at once.

- I don't want regulations to keep smaller competitors out of the market. There's a real risk of this.

- I don't want drivers to lose the flexibility to do this on a casual or flexible basis. Quotas and the like will mean the only option is to drive full-time. I'm all for people being able to supplement income. I feel like this is useful to a lot of people.

Note: I do want drivers to earn a sufficient income from this. It's just that quotas and company minimum wages aren't the way to do this.
Funny, I know of a Finnish company who placed as its CEO an ex-executive of an American company.

(I live in EU)

For the 3rd and 4th points, we could rather envision a massive decentralization of power, which would be effectively a change in the model, but not necessarily in a bad way.

Telecom, batteries and local energy production will allow much more flexible forms of local auto-organisations and decision-making.

Parts of centralized institutions will be obsolete or further decentralized to better fit local specificities.

The only irreplaceable aspect of the biggest countries is their military army, but we could also imagine a federation of each state's armies through common interests (which would be something like EU : cooperation of local armies toward a common goal). We could imagine that more autonomous regions with more autonomous armies means less single points of (global) failure.

The security clearance investigation process can already be expedited for urgent cases. However we absolutely should never lower clearance standards. Penetration by foreign agents could be far more damaging than a lack of top cyber security personnel.
That's true, but yet people still want to drive for Uber/Lyft. Perhaps people are just stupid and don't understand what they are getting into (though, that's a _lot_ of people)... or maybe they truly don't mind/don't care about the wages. I'm sure there are 3rd and 4th options, but regardless--you can piss on people's business models all you want, but they don't force anyone to work for them.

I wish I had, I would definitely share it with you. I've only been able to say what I said as a result of accumulated observations over the years. I've seen many decentralized systems wax and wane in that time.

I tried to find some pieces but it's honestly very difficult these days, due to the sheer quantity of garbage on the internet. My trust in centralized search engines is collapsing under the weight of so much spam. I'm legitimately worried there will be nothing to replace them.
So it seems we agree that for the question the OP is actually asking a regex is the appropriate tool.

Great if you can recommend a tool which can solve the task easier. But saying it is "not possible" is unhelpful and confusing. It is just giving lots of people really confused ideas about what is possible and not possible using regexes.

To use your own example: "Can I build my raster engine to draw polygons on screen?"

Not helpful: "No that is simply not logically possible due to the laws of geometry, and you are an idiot for even thinking such a thing is possible"

Helpful: "Yeas, but it is a lot of work if you want to support anti-aliasing, smooth scaling and so on. Using a library like XYZ would probably save you a lot of work in the long run".

Such a bleak picture of the future where the only solution is for all of us to give up our privacy and allow the government to watch us so they can keep us safe. There are so many rants I could go off on this article I would not even know where to start but I will say this. What about the option of peace building? Why not put 1/3 of your insane military budget towards a new mission of going into the places you have the worst reputation, the places you have wronged the most and start building up their infrastructure like water plants and schools? The only options this article gave was to give up all our freedoms so the government can keep us safe which to any person with half a brain (hint even my kids know this and their vote is coming one day) this only stops the average citizen from remain anonymous.

I'm not convinced that nuclear weapons will be fired en-mass in anger as it means total annihilation for everyone whether involved directly or not.

Imagine China fired all her nukes at the US and the US retaliated while the Chinese ones were in the air... there would be nothing left of either country within a couple of hours (or however long it takes to reach across the globe).

Anything left would be uninhabitable forever.

The main thrust there is that CO2 is not the primary motivator, but instead something else is; which they provide some supporting links for (which I haven’t bothered to review).

And that CO2 not being “proven” as the primary motivator due to lack of testing is also trivially true — we only have the one earth to test on, so we test on models; and our understanding of earth is hardly complete, and so too must be our model.

The conclusions may be “wrong” but at least that article is hardly making things up as they go along

If you really think he believes that the "love quotient" is the future of humanity, I've got a bridge to sell you.

In Mainland China to get ahead you need to learn to say a bunch of stuff that nobody believes in, e.g. Maozedong Thought in high school/uni exams. Like political correctness in the West, except few people take it seriously. Ma's points were an example of this: focus on education, focus on AI helping us understand ourselves, focus on growing creativity, focus on what we can do to help the Earth, focus on automation freeing up more time for leisure. Non-controversial platitudes that nobody can really disagree with (at least not in China). Musk completely misses this, and goes out saying all kind of stuff about aliens, superintelligent robots and "biological bootloaders" that sounds completely bonkers to somebody not caught up in the hype (or somebody who actually works with ML). Ma catches on to this and has a field day hamming up his presentation, realising that this game is something Musk is completely incapable of playing. Just imagine how absurd it would be if somebody stood up at Party Congress and started talking about aliens; that person certainly wouldn't be presenting at the next Congress to say the least.

Cool project, it's a good example where Twitter can be helpful to build something useful.
One thing I like about WireGuard is that beginner tutorial setups for it are point-to-point, which means that it's High Availability. If one node goes down only communications to it are lost, the rest of the network is still up. Beginner tutorial setups for OpenVPN are for gateways which have the gateway being a single point of failure.

Point-to-point is annoying because you have to update every node when you add or change a node, but we have appreciated the HA aspect of it.

Of course I'm sure you can do point-to-point with OpenVPN and you can do gateways with Wireguard, but the design of them does influence how they're used.

Then Facebook would become a Business Associate and would have to protect information in a variety of very strict ways and could face a fine of up to $10,000 per patient record, per violation. If they had 25 million health records and decided to target advertising to those people on two separate occasions, then they are liable for a fine of up to $500 billion.
