How would your “better Internet” work when it reaches an ocean? Maybe this doesn’t matter to you, as someone who lives in the US and mostly access websites hosted in the US; but for the majority of the world, getting access to “the Internet” is more about tapping into the millisecond-latency backbone of submarine cables, than it is about last-mile residential ISPs. Those submarine cables form a natural monopoly, there’s no escaping that. They’re utility infrastructure, like country-spanning bridges.

And the usual (optimal?) outcome for ownership of utility infrastructure, is that it gets held as a “public resource” by the government of the country or countries that built it; and then companies are contracted to manage it. From there, you end up with multilateral organizations weaving those pieces of infrastructure together in a top-down way (like shipping routes, or the postal system, or, hopefully one day, low-earth orbit.)

Which is far from an anarchosyndicalist mesh of interested companies, organizations, and individuals (ala the early Internet, or the HAM radio network), but we’ve never seen an ararchosyndicalist mesh successfully serving as a reliable/fault-tolerant backbone for any commercial endeavour so far, and I don’t know if it could.

The counter to that is that the elderly and the overweight haven't always been the subjects of negative bias. There are plenty of inversions of that bias throughout history and across cultures. It's honestly just fashionable to be young and skinny at this point in history and this part of the world, hence the bias against the opposites.
Suicide is actually correlated with lots of sunshine and high temperatures even in colder countries like the Nordics.

People tend to say that they get depressed by the winter, but I believe that it is similar to how people tended to say that exercise was bad for you not too long ago. Cold helps against depression in many cases, for example cold showers. If you asked people if they would be happy trading their warm showers for cold showers they would say that it would be horrible even though it likely would improve their overall happiness.

Very good point... Cloudflare is probably considered a third party according to the law... so no warrant is needed to get all of your data that is 6 months or older... a bit like your email hosted in the cloud: https://newspunch.com/government-can-read-any-email-over-six...

The law is wrong in this case, of course.

How does this apply on the basis of the content's origin? If google indexes content hosted in france, transmits (exports) that data to canada, and then the french person whose content it is (or is about) requests it be forgotten, is that any different from the same story except the content is hosted in canada? I'm thinking about a french outlet reporting the same news as a canadian one.

It seems reasonable to have some kind of "export" controls, like if you want to index our country's data, you have to abide by our content laws regarding it. Meanwhile, we'll let you do whatever with data you index from elsewhere. You can't show Canadians the forgotten French story, but you can still show them the Canadian paper's version of it. And if you don't abide by that, we won't let google canada export this data from france in the first place.

You don't need to do your development on the Raspberry Pi, and I wouldn't recommend doing so. It's pretty easy to develop code on your desktop and push it to your Pi via SSH/SCP/etc. You might also be able to set up a connection to push via USB but that might end up being more complicated anyway.

For many projects, people choose something higher-end than an Arduino because their project requires more compute or memory than the 8-bit microcontroller in the Arduino can provide. Common issues:

- You need to do math with larger numbers (anything > 16 bits is really slow on the Arduino), or need to do lots of math.

- Your working data exceeds the ~2 kB of RAM.

- Your project's binary exceeds the ~32 kB of flash.

With that being said, the Raspberry Pi isn't necessarily the best candidate for every project that exceeds these constraints. The Pi is basically the cheapest possible board that includes a graphics card that can handle HD video, Ethernet, and WiFi. It also has a lot of RAM compared to other single-board computers. It is weaker for "real-time" applications like signal processing - if you need to do that sort of thing you might want to look into buying a BeagleBone Black, which has two "programmable real-time units" (PRUs), which are basically small auxiliary microcontrollers that can be used to handle the real-time work.

There are other cheaper/lower power parts in between the Arduino and the Raspberry Pi/Beaglebone level of complexity, but many of them require complicated tooling and libraries that might be difficult to use if you're not already pretty familiar with embedded development.
It is rather disgusting the effects on a culture which has been torn and conquered by another outside culture. The question now, how do we deal with the present situation regardless of what happened in the past? The fact of the matter is, there is no going back. Honestly, I believe any attempts at salvaging that past is only going to hinder progress for those living in the present.
Fair enough, but what's the advantage of this over any other VPN that doesn't expose your IP?

You'd need to issue a fake certificate to do a MITM attack, they wouldn't be able to decrypt existing traffic without issuing one, which would be noticed by someone watching.

Of course.

But free speech is not absolute, even in USA (libel laws and all that).

What I find interesting is how the threshold between the freedom of speech and the freedom of others people is set differently between US and most of Europe.

For instance you can be convicted for incitement to ethnic or racial hatred in a lot of European countries [1] while to the best of my knowledge this kind of speech is protected in the US.

Personally I am very happy with how the free speech threshold is set in France or Germany but I have no doubt it is a cultural thing.

Its being downvoted because its childish simplistic view of things. I grew up in Grant county, literally west of Sioux county. There are a lot of reasons for the high suicide rate in Sioux county, historical facts like Custer aside, unless you've lived in this part of the country, you really have no idea what its like there. Did westerners do a number on the Nakota/Dakota/Lakota/Sioux/Mandan/etc..? Duh, but thats not really why kids are killing themselves today. Hell even in the surrounding counties suicide is pretty common for the same reasons as in the reservation. There is no opportunity, and depression is pretty common.

Side note, I have family in Sioux county as well. I'll be blunt and say, if you've only grew up on the coasts, kindly butt the fuck out of why the suicide is high. I could name 10 people in and out of Sioux county I know that ate a bullet, if all you're going to do is use this for internet points piss off.

The space Cloudflare is in could afford plenty of players, I think—more than a single-digit amount. There’s nothing about Cloudflare’s business strategy that implies/necessitates that they’d become a monopoly in a market equilibrium state. The only reason you don’t see a pack of Cloudflare clone-companies, AFAIK, is that the talent required to clone Cloudflare is rare.

(Interestingly, an ISP—especially a cellular ISP familiar with routing roaming circuits—could totally pivot into Cloudflare’s business to expand globally. I wonder why we haven’t seen that?)

> I think the average bar, karaoke DJ (I love karaoke), spa, or other small business that might just use a Facebook page would be served just as well by the kind of hosting provider that gives your website a single IP address pointing to a single machine. Are DDoS attacks and bots really that big of a problem?

I feel like the perspective you’re coming at the problem from here is already heavily influenced by the contraction and centralization that the web went through in the early 2000s. Yes, right now, businesses just want essentially an online business card, and Facebook handles that just fine. But their desires are more of an acknowledgement of the practicalities of what’s economical for them to have built and hosted in the current (or recent-historical, since it takes a while for people’s thoughts on this to shift) web landscape.

Look around the internet of the 90s. Companies didn’t used to build business-card websites. The dreams of even the most run-of-the-mill SME used to be far more grandiose. At the very least, every company who knew what the options were, wanted to host a forum for the community composed of their customers. Many of the web’s most prominent standalone forums were started back then. Why so few today? Because ambitious, dynamic, user-generated-content-filled sites like these do get hurt by spamming and DDoSing. They’re hard to run—and not just in a community-management sense, but in an ops sense.

Cloudflare’s tech (which, again, anyone could offer, not just Cloudflare) can and does provide the protection required to allow SME websites to be a little bit more ambitious again, to the point that they’re not just doing something commoditizable by Facebook.
>The MacBook doesn't need less ports, it doesn't need to be thinner.

This is especially true now that they're trying to position the iPad as a serious "work" machine. If it hasn't crossed this threshold already it will soon where the only reason one would need a small MacBook is because the interoperability of ports and a solid keyboard/mouse navigation process is important to your workflow.

Let the iPad handle use cases where those aren't important and let the Mac be the heavy-duty machine.

Jobs had a good quote back in the day about how not everyone wants or needs a computer equivalent of a pick-up truck and most computer vendors tend to assume they do. Apple is leaning towards the opposite problem where they're assuming everyone wants the equivalent of a sports car, which is just as bad.

Let the iPad be the Miata and let the Mac Pro be an F-250. But some of us in the middle just want a nice Camry (or the BMW/Audi/Mercedes equivalent) and they're doing a poor job of understanding what that means.
It’s a great way to say “oh, this is so bad, we’ve gotten rid of the horrible man who was responsible!” while also changing absolutely nothing.

Re: NAT and source port changes

I am experimenting building a similar tech but on AWS. To use anycast, I front my Wireguard servers in multiple regions with GlobalLoadAccelerator and set ClientAffinty to two-tuple (source-ip, destination-ip) instead of the default 5-tuple (source-ip and port, destination-ip and port, protocol).

Re: Network switch (WiFi to Cellular and Mobile IP)

This one stings. I haven't impl it yet, if ever I get to the scale to warrant such a design: I was thinking abt sticky routing the traffic using only the destination port (of the wireguard server). At the time of new connection establishment (VPN turned on / off), ask the app server for a port to use and use that. On the server end, have one beefy wireguard server serving a range of ports per region behind the anycast load balancer, so that the balancer has no choice but to send the incoming to that single server that is serving incoming destination port. Use the usual IP route commands to send the traffic along to approp exit server depending on the actual destination IP (now that wireguard has decrypted the packet).

Re: Clients:

I'm predominantly focusing on Android, and the I've found things work differently across OEMs. It is just too much work. I have gone with the workaround that Blokada so wonderfully uses: employing a watchdog, heartbeat, keep-alive service, and aggressive wake-ups for some of the common problems across OEMs.

Governments have leverage. Corporations, particularly the big ones, have leverage. I don't have the tiniest fraction as much, even if I do everything I possibly can. A government that sets an energy policy, introduces a carbon tax, or refuses planning permission for that mine or rig achieves millions of times more impact than a citizen or demonstrator. A corporation might make a negative carbon commitment, as Stripe did a month or two back.

Civil disobedience, demonstrating, getting arrested, disruption and organising along with chaining yourself to things are time worn routes to change, not new methods. From the 14th C Peasant's Revolt[1] through civil rights, Indian independence and universal suffrage, and countless others, even the current HK protests, they succeeded via these sorts of tactics. Governments tend to ignore polite marches of many thousands, but take note when people start ignoring laws, striking or disrupting, and getting noticed or costing money.

The striking school children appear to be doing an utterly marvellous job of making our elected leaders (all of them, pretty much everywhere) look foolish, incompetent and incredibly selfish. They achieved a remarkable amount of media exposure. Many are nearing voting age. Do you think they will all forget about climate when they can finally cast their vote? I don't. Do you think they will give up and go home? I don't. I wonder what we can look forward to when some of them start thinking of going into politics?...

The people who need to listen may not be on HN, but many of the people who can get them to listen are - the potential demonstrators, the strikers, then the marketers, the website and app builders etc. Not forgetting employees and founders of hundreds of corporations who need to be making climate related change.

[1] The Peasant's Revolt was far from peaceful, ultimately more riot and revolution than disobedience, and truly brutally suppressed, but the government was terrified of a repeat for decades after. Poll taxes died in England for 300 years. A few attempts around the Civil War and restoration, then 300 more years for Thatcher's attempt at a poll tax. Which got her a modern replay of the Peasant's Revolt in the shape of the Poll Tax Riots.

Yet both the original and Thatcher's rerun started with discontent, then demonstration, then disobedience, then riot, and for the original, outright revolt.
