Hi everyone, I’m one of the cofounders of Twingate. Excited to share with the HN community what we’ve been working on over the last 18 months.

Twingate is a modern solution for remote access that replaces your VPN. It’s designed to address the underlying security issues with a traditional VPN + network perimeter, but it’s super simple to deploy, manage, and use. It introduces “zero trust” concepts like least-privileged access controls at the application level, hiding public attack surfaces, and continuous network authorization, but without the complicated change management typically required to get there.

We’ve particularly focused on making it work seamlessly for developer workflows & tools, so excited to hear what you all think. You can try it out for free today.

You can read more about how the underlying technology for Twingate works here: https://docs.twingate.com/docs/how-twingate-works
Title should be build 2004 not v20.04
> So if you want something that takes an action on the current page via JS but looks like a text link, it should be a <button> element styled as a link.

Why? It really shouldn't look like a link.

The mere fact that it requires a 20-line-hack is enough proof that this is a hack. It subvert user expectations (example: it's a link that you can't right click, tab behaves differently), accessibility (example: it looks like a link but will register as a button to a screen reader) and will probably look different in some browsers.

If you indeed need a navigational link you can freely attach a onclick event to a link. If the link has no proper non-javascript fallback (it ideally should, though) you can link to javascript:void(0); and most browsers will prevent the "Open in New Window" option from showing up in context menus.
But we haven’t seen any of that. People who were put on unemployment found they were making more not working, than people who are working, And they were quite happy to stay at home and not work.. They will take the free money that’s handed to them. I own a rental property, and I can guarantee you that if I know my tenant is earning extra money a month free from the government, I’m going to increase his rent. Why not? There’s no law against it.
+1 for Time Team. Highly recommended for HN readers even remotely interested in archaeology.
I honestly hope so. Sticks are passable enough for addressing today's CRUD apps but I'll readily take scalpels and plasma torches as they become available.
I don't think the main problem Hongkongers have with this law is necessarily the content, but the fact it has been pushed on them by an external government which many Hongkongers expected to remain independent from for the next 27 years. From their perspective, having their own government taking marching orders from Beijing undermines the principle of "one country two systems".

Aside from the principle of it, there are also several aspects of the proposed law that go beyond what many people consider to be reasonable. Most notable for migrants and tourists is the emphasis on preventing and penalizing "foreign interference", which doesn't sit well in a city that is still the most multicultural in East Asia. Allowing the mainland security apparatus to set up offices in the city is also concerning, given mainland law enforcement is famous for disappearing and torturing people who do not support the single party dictatorship.

I think it's fairly clear that this is an opportunistic power-grab by the central government. The coronavirus has allowed them to dramatically increase the intensity of their security measures in the mainland, instituting Xinjiang-style movement tracking apps, "temporary" barricades and checkpoints all over the country. The state media has whipped up intense anti-American hatred, and the government is emboldened by the fact that America is dealing with the virus comparatively poorly. There is a widespread public support for cracking down on Hong Kong, which has been presented here in mainland as a city besieged by terrorists and American agents of chaos, all out to destroy China. I suspect from the point of view of the central government, being able to advance their timetable on the takeover of Hong Kong is the silver lining of this pandemic.

Almost every time I hear people call Trump stupid, I cringe a bit expecting them to follow it up with examples of their inability to deal with trolls and "why can't everyone get along."

I really wish everyone could get along, but life isn't so sweet yet.

What you suggested was a better way to troll, thereby proving you understand the shit bag, and his game. You are legitimately smarter than Trump at his own game, and that is something I've seen pretty much nowhere.

Thank you so much for existing.

Yeah, as near as I can tell signed exchanges are essentially a caching proxy. With integrity checks, so that you don't have to trust the proxy all that much and its agency is much reduced. I'm reminded of apt.

The calculation appears to be that given the chance, some website controllers will choose to trade confidentiality of public pages for better load times. In business terms, this seems a pretty straightfoward win in many cases, so I can see why some would sign up.
My wife had her hours cut by ~50%, in an industry that has zero revenue since the start of Covid, and will not be rescued by re-opening - or anything short of a vaccine. Yes, zero. She can't understand how she still has a job.

She's still getting paid her full, normal salary. I'm not sure if the company owners are praying for a small-business relief hail mary fund, if they are going into debt with no plan to pay it back, if they are motivated entirely by wishful thinking, or if they don't want to let their employees down.

Whatever the case, it is both very generous of the owners, and very concerning.

Assuming UBI is funded through taxation, that is a net loss to everyone but employers and UBI administrators; whether through income or VAT taxes, you end up with less.
I can't read beyond the abstract any more, but I assume you mean it to suggest that it's actually (or at least could be) an inexpensive process, rather than a readily available one? I'm not sure if all inkjet inks are suitable perfluoropolymers, or if it's just that a cartridge could be filled with one if you access, but either way the 'functionalisation' step is surely not accessible to the hobbyist.

Amenities provided at work are now used at home. From office supplies to snacks or other 'free' benefits that employees factored into their overall compensation.

Then there are things like (increased) electricity costs, having to upgrade your home internet to sufficiently satisfy your work requirements (eg if you need to be downloading or uploading large files, or your company had stringent remote call quality requirements), etc.

If you're someone whose commute was little or no expense, then these can be a notable new expenditures to budget around. They won't break the bank but they're worth thinking about.

I agree with you, but just a point: the upvote and downvote arrows actually go to other pages when you disable JS, so it makes sense for them to be <a> tags. They should provide better feedback though (and a title attribute for screen readers).

The [-] is more complicated. Ideally it would link to a non-js fallback, but alas. But it's much better as an anchor tag than as a button disguised as a link.

Maybe increased HVAC or other electricity costs? Let's give the benefit of the doubt here.
When I picture it in my head I think of the early web as more of a library. Over time it has transitioned into a shopping mall.

If I continue with this thought exercise, a lot of the big indoor shopping malls around me have been knocked down and replaced with standalone outdoor stores (walled gardens?).

I'm not sure where things are going next.
Hey maybe thats why we have this old joke is Brussels: How do you know someone is working for the Belgium secretive service? ... They tell you.
But UBI is not isolated to anyone part of the country. If you want to have a UBI in one city, it makes perfect sense that a person is going to want to move there. Free money, is free. The point I think you missed is that despite the cheerleading for a UBI, capitalism is going to negate that rapidly. If prices rise by the amount of the UBI, then you’re just spending that money but your overall financial stability is still negated. If you know that everyone is receiving thousand dollars a month from the government for free, why not raise the car price $1000? Why not raise the rent $1000? The Fantasy of a UBI requires that you completely ignore economics, and put blind faith in the rest of the system to go along.

Yep, that's true where I'm from. The county has a total of maybe a dozen or so cases. But we have two correctional facilities that have almost an order of magnitude more. The next city over has hundreds of cases, but they also have a meat packing plant where most of these are (in addition to their own correctional facilities and one or more federal ones).
> They're gonna get dragged for these tweets

They’ll get dragged for doing anything that doesn’t align with X party. If not his tweets than something else.

Not saying people shouldn’t have common sense about what they post on a public forum tho...
My company did this as well. People over $X had to take a cut. One additional reason is how the PPP is written. Only the first $100K of an employee's salary is using in the PPP loan amount calculation. Cutting people closer to that mark gives them the maximum free money without using up cash savings.
Rural Cities is an oxymoron. If it's a city, by definition, it's not rural.

You could say 'smaller cities' or any number of other things.
My employer had us go on a reduced work week for 5 weeks. thankfully we are back to full time now but our 401k match has been removed. No idea what will happen later in the year but i bet merit increases get removed as well.
Bob the marketing guy couldn't care less where he hosts his Gatsby generated HTML website (at the end of the day it's just an HTML/JS/CSS bundle). He can just take that HTML and host it somewhere where it's FREE or provides much better quality.

Basically, the hosting can be unbundled from generating the site. And this is the territory which big companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are already good at.

of course, Gatsby cloud won't want that, and the only way to solve that problem is to create artificial lockins. And when they do so (because they need to justify their valuation), people will leave.
I've been using Firebase since 2016 in production and after all these years I find the service quite lacking.

Both databases are super limited and put all the burden of work to the client(s) for anything beyond very simple queries.

The functions have some of the worst cold starts I've experienced. Until very recently the dev experience was terrible but Firebase local dev was released a couple of days ago so this should be solved.

As for alternatives, AFAIK there is nothing that replicates the whole platform but there are better options for the individual parts.

- FaunaDB instead of Firestore.

- Vercel for edge static hosting + cloud functions.

- Netlify for everything except the databases

Etc.

This is the Dragon 2, it has flown twice, once to the Station and back. A second time where the rocket was blown up to test the in-flight abort system.

I am with you, but we don't have infrastructure for toll collection on most of the East River bridges, so there isn't an easy answer here. (A lot of the traffic on the East River bridges is trucks that are simply avoiding the more direct tolled truck routes. It's unfortunate that CO2 emissions are cheaper than tolls, but here we are. I live in Brooklyn Heights which is walking distance to Manhattan modulo a big river in the middle, and I know my neighbors are just going to start driving to work when things reopen. It is going to be a mess.)

I'm pretty sure Robin Hanson would want challenge trials with experimental vaccines as well. The issue is that authorities won't allow such trials, not that there is a lack of willing medical experts or volunteers.

Though vaccine trials aren't quite as safe for the public as variolation. If a vaccine doesn't work, the person can spread the disease. If variolation doesn't work, then it has the same mortality as natural infection, but afterwards the person is immune and can't spread the disease.

> No one has found the "page rank of movies/series" yet, so I think HBO has a better chance here.

I'm not so sure -- I think the problem is no one has deployed it.

As a consumer, what I want is: based on my viewing history and/or shows I've said I like, show me more shows/movies I'll like.

What I currently get is: shows/movies that are in a similar style and genre to what I've watched or liked. The algorithm doesn't seem to take into account "good" vs "bad" movies.

The result is if I just randomly pick some movie from Netflix's "Because you watched.." recommendation, there's a very high chance I'm going to end up watching something I don't like because it isn't good.

As a concrete example, I just went to Netflix movies. "Because you watched Avengers: Infinity War...". There are 6 movies on the first page, 2 of which I've seen and have high Rotten Tomato scores (they are both Indiana Jones movies, with 88% and 85%). The other 4 have RT scores of 31%, 27%, 12%, and 3%. (Don't get me wrong, there are movies I do like that have low RT scores, and there are movies with high RT scores that I don't like, but generally a bad movie is a bad movie and more often than not there's a correlation with RT scores.)

Even if I could filter by "RT score > 60%" that would cut down on a lot of garbage, even if it means I might miss a couple movies/shows I'd actually like. This would change my personal perception from "The vast majority of content on Netflix isn't really worth watching" to something more positive. Note I still subscribe despite this -- there's still ample worthwhile content. I just don't watch things based on Netflix's recommendations alone.

Certainly it is possible to come up with something better than that blunt filter. So the question is: why don't they?

I think this is just a case of fighting low-quality comments rather than deliberate censoring of anti-CCP political speech.

Youtube is not supporting CCP. They regularly delete videos that are even mildly supportive of CCP, for example https://twitter.com/rachw82451432/status/1265308476034519040

Another example is the 'Fighting terrorism' documentary by CGTN, which has been deleted and reuploaded many times now.

Heck, I don't even call the above examples 'pro-CCP'. They just show a different point of view that isn't anti-CCP.

I see people here claiming something along the lines of: all anti-CCP comments are valuable examples of freedom of speech. But let's be honest here. Were it any nearly any other topic, people's usual opinion of Youtube comments is that it's a cesspool. While there is indeed valuable anti-CCP commentary out there, some really is not worth reading and just degrade the quality of the website.
Yup; it's packed full of such gems.
Have your replaced the actual dimmers, though?

I'm sure there's someone who can explain it in more depth than I can, but even "dimmable" LED bulbs likely won't work correctly (flicker, not dimming as low as they should) and will die faster than expected if you don't replace the actual dimmer switch in your wall with one intended for LEDs.
Yeah, I think they mention that in the article. In 2008, you can see the original. In the most recent picture, you can see the official replacement.

I didn't care about news until the first gulf war. Then something flipped a switch in my brain and I could not get enough news. When news broadcasters started adopting websites in the 90's, I was like a junkie.

I don't recall significant partisan division over Gulf War I, but I do recall a hard left/right split with the house takeover by Gingrich in 1994, and then the Clinton impeachment. Late 1990's is where things started to become bifurcated (remember, I wasn't paying attention in the 70's and 80's so it could have been as bad).

Fast forward to mid 2010's and suddenly there are too many websites with "news" combined with SEO and recommendation algorithms spouting demonstrable nonsense that I can't help but hear Steve Bannon's "Flood the zone with shit" argument.

Because it is working on me. I am over-educated (an engineering patent attorney for a top silicon company), I get paid to be a critical thinker. Facts and news just are clearly under assault from the zone-flooding angle to the point where being critical wears me to the bone.

Was this intentional, or is this a consequence?

Has the zone been successfully flooded as Bannon commanded?

It's not the accountants' fault. The only force binding together the thousands of people that make up a corporation is the accounting (accountability). Before the advent of accounting, there were not corporations, as any concentration of capital would be immediately diffused through fraud. It would be great if society could figure out how to be accountable to metrics other than profit and revenue, but so far we haven't figured out how to measure anything else, so we can't optimize for it.
