If your privacy concerns include your DNS requests then a commerical VPN isn't a realistic choice. And unlike some rando pseudo-bespoke brand-less coffee shop wifi, commerical VPNs are a big target.

> I always assume that hostile public networks like free WiFi have agents actively trying to man in the middle any connections they can.

And VPNs just move that problem. If you're not demanding and forcing SSL, you're not actually addressing this problem.

> If your device has a known exploit and a single connection not going over SSL you drastically increase your exposure on a public WiFi, hence the one use case for VPN.

I regret to inform you that none of these things you've described stop thise sort those attacks. Forcing SSL on your browser is a realistic option for most threat models. If you're at a level where you're actually being surveilled by a nation-state-level actor, a commercial VPN won't help you. Short of that scenario, forcing SSL will cover most cases.

Frankly speaking, the amount of steps a customer has to go through to ensure quality from Amazon -- check out reviews for buyers, cross check prices to ensure you are not getting ripped off, check out estimated delivery times, and then as the article (and comments here) state, be on look out for expiration date -- for me at least, it makes sense to use Amazon only for books.

Everything else, even living in the First World large Global City (Toronto), I find it easier to just go out to stores to do quick check and buy with piece of mind.

I would like to tackle SICP. I am a programming novice and would like to improve my skills.

The last time I did any kind of math that was more complex then simple operations was a long time ago and math was never my strong subject.

I have pretty much forgotten any kind of algebra, calculus etc I learnt. So assuming I know very little math, what is the best way/book/method to learn algebra/calculus etc to tackle SICP ? I would like to do that before I begin my SICP journey.

Any suggestions appreciated!!
Not sure that doing an emergency stop unless really required is safe - you could always get a tank slapper or potentially case injuries to passengers if say they are reaching for something and bash their hand etc into the internal parts of the car.
For teams I've used Raneto[0] in the past.

I use Notable[1] and MkDocs[2] for personal notes and technical documentation respectively.

All three are markdown powered of course. Raneto and MkDocs can use a Git repo with your preferred build pipeline and the HTML can be hosted internally or on Netlify, etc. Works well for teams.

With Notable I use Syncthing to keep notes synced, but that's a personal use case.

For teams you may also want to give Outline[3] a try. I haven't used it as yet but it does looks pretty good.

I have literally just quoted the original article and the current data. I didn't state any opinion but apparently this is enough for people to disagree.

I think it is interesting in itself to read predictions made thirty years ago for the next thirty years and compare them with actual data. What I get from it is that the analysis was fundamentally correct- temperatures have kept increasing; but I also see a tendency to overconfidence and exaggeration: the source says that the most conservative estimates put the warming by 2018 between 1 and 7 degrees- even if it's Fahrenheit it literally means that we're at the lower end of the "most conservative estimates".

If they have EU customers then article 33 of GDPR should see to that.

"In the case of a personal data breach, the controller shall without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, notify the personal data breach to the supervisory authority competent in accordance with Article 55, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. Where the notification to the supervisory authority is not made within 72 hours, it shall be accompanied by reasons for the delay."

Unless the authorities in EU accept the explanation they are in trouble, but I think you shall report even if you think there has been a breach.

People live too long, and don't die of stuff like pneumonia or tuberculosis or syphilis or yellow fever much anymore.

Over a long enough time span, your probability of getting some form of cancer goes to 100%. Probably more like 200% or 300%, since there are so many types that they can cut out or beat back relatively successfully these days, at least until you get too old and decrepit.
No, because I use Vim to navigate the web I think the mouse is less usable. I think DDG shouldn't add clickable Google redirects because they aren't that necessary and are an antipattern.

I don't remember what Nest used before being bought by Google (I believe SMS MFA was available), but they're transitioning accounts to sign in with your Google account.

Saudi Arabia has no economy except for fossil fuels. They've been trying for decades to build an alternate economy and every initiative has failed. The situations aren't remotely similar.

The US controls the global reserve currency, is the world's largest economy, has a $65k GDP per capita, is a massive manufacturing economy (#2 behind China), is by far the world's leading technology economy, and has 2x the wealth of the next closest nation (China). That reserve currency is presently under zero threat from other currencies in terms of being replaced. Why does that matter? It gives the US the ultimate financial weapon for dealing with its federal debt. It's a special position no other nation has.

Currently the US is paying about the same rate for its new debt as Greece and Italy. The Fed can continue to gradually press that lower until the point where the US is issuing zero yield debt as in the case of Japan. That means the US can - fortunately or unfortunately - afford to take on a lot more debt yet. Most likely 2x GDP or more, before there is a serious problem.

If more aggressive debasement becomes necessary, the US owns about 35-38% of all the world's wealth, and has 40% of all the world's millionaires. The US is adding wealth faster than any other nation, and was responsible for adding ~55% of all the world's new millionaires in the prior year. That wealth, along with the massive US income base, represents the Fed's room for debasement to deal with the debt (inflating it away in one form or another). US output per capita is about 2.5x higher than Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has none of those advantages.

Most (not all) servers have out-of-band management; of which IPMI is just one of many such solutions.

Can you clarify this?

'However, you don't need the simulation to add to this argument. If anything, the simulation undercuts it because now you point out small errors and end up doubting the whole argument.'

I would say that if the author is making an argument based on probability distributions, then that's a fundamentally mathematical one, and they should see it through instead of hand-waving via rhetoric. Am I missing something?

[Edit: I read the paper when it came out (2018) and it seemed mathematically sound. Was I mistaken?]
Regular people who are NordVPN’s customers can’t possibly understand that. A highly technical explanation is not good enough. They need to put out a statement that explains clearly and concisely what this means for their users, something that all people can understand.

Not the GP, but perhaps the 'Prepare three envelopes' story [0], which seems relevant...

> The story of three envelopes is a business classic for dysfunctional organizations. It starts with an incoming manager replacing a recently fired outgoing manager. On his way out, the outgoing manager hands the new manager three envelopes and remarks, "when things get tough, open these one at a time."

> About three months goes by and things start to get rough. The manager opens his drawer where he keeps the three envelopes and opens #1. It reads: "Blame your predecessor." So he does and it works like a charm.

> Another three months passes and things are growing difficult again so the manger figures to try #2. It reads, "reorganize." Again, his predecessor's advice works like magic.

> Finally, about nine months into the new job, things are getting really sticky. The manager figures it worked before, why not try again. So he opens the envelope drawer one last time and opens #3. It reads..."prepare three envelopes."

> Your IP address is a largely irrelevant metric in modern tracking systems.

I don't believe this for one second.

Your IP address on its own is not sufficient to identify you. That doesn't mean your IP address is not helpful in identifying you.

If you have Javascript disabled, it is a heck of a lot easier to identify you with a combination of an IP address, user agent, and OS than it is to identify you without the IP address cutting down the pool of potential visitors.

On top of that, if you're targeting me and do a geo-location of my IP address, it will get you within 5 miles of my house. That's close enough that you'll know which county I'm in, which with a few other easily-obtained pieces of information will let you pull up my voter registration, which will give you my exact street address.

Of course, you could mitigate this by setting up your own VPN on something like Linode, but unless you're regularly rotating IP addresses, you've just traded a pseudo-identifier that multiple people/devices share for a persistent identifier.

This argument comes up all the time, and I have never heard anyone explain it in a way that passes my sniff test. If you want me to stop using a VPN, you need to do a lot better than just claiming that IP addresses don't matter -- you need to show some kind of evidence to back that up.
I don't think this deserves the downvotes it's receiving, but:

> no need for, and no value in, actually performing builds in your target execution environment.

.. is completely antithetical to using Visual Studio, where the convenience of building, running and debugging on the desktop is very handy.

NTFS is horribly slow for certain file operations though. Giant batch deletes can wedge the UI while the system catches up. I have in the past benefited from putting %TEMP% on a RAMdisk, although this is a pain to set up.

I'd love to see Microsoft building a VFS driver for, say, ext2/3. It's not impossible, all the APIs are there to add plugin filesystems to Windows, and the OSS-friendly Microsoft shouldn't have any objection in principle to linking against the GPL'd kernel implementation..

Rich people got "lucky" but they don't define what luck is to begin with. To quote Naval, there are 4 kinds of luck.

1. Blind luck - Where I just got lucky because something completely out of my control happened

2. Luck from hustling - luck that comes through persistence, hard work, hustle, motion. Which is when you’re running around creating lots of opportunities, you’re generating a lot of energy, you’re doing a lot of things, lots of things will get stirred up in the dust.

3. Luck from preparation - If you are very skilled in a field, you will notice when a lucky break happens in that field. When other people who aren’t attuned to it won’t notice.

4. Luck from your unique character - You created your own luck. You put yourself in a position to be able to capitalize on that luck. Or to attract that luck when nobody else has created that opportunity for themselves.
Since we're in a free market economy, we really should be forcing companies to be ethical by voting with our dollars (or, in today's online work, site visits).

The problem is not enough people give it enough thought.

> If Google and Uber have to be ethical, doesn't Blackwater/Xe/Academi have to be ethical?

The problem with this argument is Blackwater/Xe/Academi serve a specific niche that inherently straddles the line of ethicality. They're not akin to Google or Uber; they don't have "general purpose" products that everyone needs/wants. Ergo it's not as black and white as Google and Uber (which in itself isn't as black and white as we'd like to think).

> Commingling isn't a problem with the complaints.

I think they mean that commingling necessarily eliminates the viability of merchant malfeasance analysis in reading reviews, not that the complainers did anything wrong. Just that you can't trust the products from even the most trustworthy shop because someone _else_ might be trying to cheat the marketplace. The review system applies to products, but mostly it applies to individual product _specimens_. And if you don't know whether bad specimens came disproportionately from a particular merchant, then the real value of reviews has been diminished.
So what can you do about it?

Mark Russinovich, the current CTO of Azure at Microsoft, wrote an article years ago pointing out that Windows NT was more than "influenced" by VMS and at the deepest levels it was closer to a rewrite of VMS from VAX assembly language into C.

Calling Aramco the "WeWork of energy" is a bit of a stretch. Yes, the company has problems; yes, it's been navigating the capital markets poorly; but at the end of the day, it's an oil company that says it's an oil company.

Aramco is just an authoritarian state-owned oil company with all the issues that come with that territory, and this article and its headline strike me as facile clickbait.
