I'm a big fan of Wireguard, and am using it in a few places, but OpenVPN still has its place - namely if you need a VPN tunnel from behind a firewall that only allows outgoing connections to small number of TCP ports, and no UDP ports.
Realistically, what are the options to access Internet in a region where government blocks it on an ISP level? Or is it back to carrier pigeons?

Programming languages are products just like anything else in the software industry.

Either they adapt or eventually fade away.

Hence why we get this reboot cycles where new languages get introduced as revolution against the establishment, and a couple of years later are just as feature rich as the ones they were "fighting" against.
Speaking from a personal perspective, modules feels like a real improvement, mostly because GOPATH always felt a bit iffy.

Clean energy solutions are only desired by the market because activism impelled governments to try to price in the externality costs of dirty energy.

How do you foresee the other environmental pressures (water, soil etc) being resolved? Are we merely maturing through a series of dirty technologies and are on the cusp of a clean tech revolution that will allow us to arbitrarily increase the Earth's carrying capacity? At what point does absolute decoupling of growth and resource consumption occur?

I do hope you're right, as it seems like the only viable path, but I am still doubtful.

? The 'Axis' definitely not 'speak with one voice' - nor did anyone ever use this term to apply to them.

The term wasn't generally applied to the USSR either, although it's 'truthy' as their Politburo had immense central control over not just the USSR but Satelite states like Poland and E. Germany would could be given de-facto direct orders on many issues.

But Xi Jinping is firmly in control: the depth and scope of information control, 7/24/375 monitoring of every citizen, absolute control over the political organs, military, finance, currency, finance - I think it's very rational to say there is 'one voice' in China.

Xi Jinping may very well easily be the most powerful person in history.

He has very long term ambitions for China, and his tactics are evidence of a pretty hardcore Realpolitik. Though most of it is non-threatening, much of it is, and there's obviously going to be a response.

No, it isn't that contagious. You need to be physically very close to someone... they have to be coughing on you, or touching the same door knobs as you.
The current Word UI isn't that much of an improvement to be honest and would look similar with such a low resolution. Some things are better, some things are worse, but I doesn't look like 20 years brought any deeper insights.

The disadvantage kids today might have is that there aren't any buttons, because their systems are locked down to a large degree. You cannot do experiments this way so no knowledge can be gained. Without disputing the VCRs or comparable technological artifacts had a bad UI. You are pretty limited if you use iOS or Android. Sure, some teens would figure out how to use them efficiently, but that would only be a small percentage.

Apparently thousands of medical professionals have already been sent from other provinces. There are millions of medical professionals in China so sending even 1% would be night and day difference locally while not throwing other hospitals into chaos.

Throwing other construction projects into chaos? That’s utter nonsense, no normal construction projects would be active during the Chinese New Year period.

Fantastic news. I deploy WireGuard to provide a private network (mesh) between VPS servers. Each VPS instance has each other vps as peer. So no single source of failure. I run PostgreSQL with Patroni and GlusterFS over this mesh with no issues. When I add or destroy a VPS with Ansible all VPS nodes get an updated config and reload. This way I don't rely on a single cloud provider because I do not use their private network service.

I've also noticed (around Costa Blanca) how seriously they take tailgating (I mean it as a positive thing). As soon as there was a slow car in the left lane there was another literally 2 meters behind it... I tend to tailgate left lane hogs but I wouldn't ever go so close for safety reasons. In 0-2 minutes, the slow car is merging right.
I wonder if those two are related.

Really all they need to learn is that gift cards are not payment. Also the sites that allow gift card reselling need to be held a little accountable too. If someone is going on there and listing thousands of dollars of gift cards that should be a huge red flag.
Thinking back to my adolescence, there were few that were that proficient and similar observations could have been made, being able to use limewire and the office suite was about as technical as it got for my late millennial class.

I think we are getting smarter overall, but I don't expect it to be the norm, it requires a societal shift away from distracting platforms and entertainment that don't facilitate the need to explore and learn.

In Hong Kong there were protests against the gov't using an apartment building of sorts for quarantine, because the building was within 500m of residences. One protester even set fire to the lobby of the building.

Almost every ISP will have a firewall of some kind, but in the US this is usually just blocking 25 incoming, sometimes 80 (fios), maybe a few other ports.

I have run services on port 443 on Optimum and FiOS for years.

IP addresses don’t change frequently. Usually what happens is there will be some maintenance and you’ll end up with a new IP because you lost the lease in the interim. If you keep your equipment on though you can have the same reachable IP address for years.

I use a dynamic DNS service so this is rarely a big deal.

Not sure why this is so hard for you to grasp. You keep arguing, for what reason?

Reputation of Russian police in Russia is quite high. Coincidentally, crime rates in Russia are less than in some of "more developed" countries. Especially considering that even theft of $1 in Russia is considered a crime and investigated by police, whereas in many developed countries police doesn't even attempt to investigate thefts for sums less than $100-$300 or theft of an insured property (bike, car), and that greatly distorts crime rate statistics making comparison difficult if even possible.

Also, it doesn't really matter in this case. There's no reason for them to plant drugs on this woman and they would not do that.

On planes from India people are regularly caught with drugs. This is because India (among many other reasons) popular as a place where you can easily and cheaply buy any kind of drug, especially marijuana and hashish. It happened many times before this young woman and will happen after. I wouldn't be surprised if luggage on every plane departing India is thoroughly checked, you'll find some amount of drugs on any plane. There's no need to plant anything.
https://hbr.org/2018/03/cold-showers-lead-to-fewer-sick-days

The link is an interview with the study author, and excerpts are below.

This is the first high-level evidence showing that cold showers can benefit your health. People who took them for at least 30 seconds for one month called in sick 29% less than our control group — and 54% less if they also engaged in regular physical exercise.

Participants who took the cold showers actually reported feeling ill just as many days, on average, as the people who showered normally. But either their symptoms were less severe or they felt more energetic, so they were better able to push through the sickness and function anyway. The exact effect on the immune system is unclear, but we do have some knowledge of the pathway through which it works. Cold temperatures make you shiver — an autonomous response to keep your body temperature up. It involves a neuroendocrine effect and triggers our fight-or-flight response, causing hormones like cortisol to increase, shortly before we shift to a relaxation response. Moreover, cold temperatures activate the brown — or good — fat in the body.

Brown fat doesn’t have any proven connection to immunity, but it does affect the body’s thermoregulation. When activated, it keeps the body warm by burning calories. It may also increase your energy and metabolism and help control your blood sugar. That could reduce your risk of obesity and diabetes.

Just read the summary. For me personally a hot to cold shower isn't nice. But a cold shower although initially repulsive becomes very enjoyable. And when it ends the thaw feeling is magic. When you are freezing, even cold feels warm.

Some days I get so cold in my bones I feel a hot bath or hot shower is the only way to sort me out. If I'm proper dirty, a cold shower doesn't do.

I have to really blunt, I'm sure you're a nice guy/girl/person, and we both would love to see this problem solved but...

No, there are no effective things my community can take. None.

Even my whole nation has zero actual power. That's the whole point here. I don't know why people keep saying that.

Im a limey brit. We have a huge economy, lots of cars and houses, all pouring out co2. But we only produce 1% of world emissions. So even if we cut our emissions to zero today, that would be only 1/8th of the global cut needed just for 2020. Given world co2 emissions are growing at 2.7%, the problem would still be getting worse.

Nothing the UK does matters in the face of this issue. And we're one of the bigger, more powerful, more polluting nations.

Before we can find an actual solution, we need to stop wasting time and effort pretending this can be solved by communities. It really really can't.
