"endpoints with authentication" -- Because you don't have to login to watch YouTube...

It's not easy to block third party access, it often ends up being a whack-a-mole style game where you block it and then they just get in using a different method. YouTube already has been doing this.

On top of this you are taking money from the creators of the content, not just YouTube itself and violating their terms of service.

If a service tells you not to do it, and you still do it anyway it's quite clear you are being unethical.
How does that help? If you're the only one with traffic from that IP, how does that give any privacy? Especially if you pay with something tied to your identity. And why does a VPS have any less likelihood of logging your traffic?
Yeah I mean, missing material sucks and shouldn't be routine, but this is pretty trivial bullet count compared to what any military runs through in marksmanship training on a daily basis.

Seems far more likely that one pallet is moulding in a corner of a warehouse somewhere (or accidentally got thrown away) than that a right-wing paramilitary group is stealing bullets from the German military, that they simply can't find anywhere else.
This is not nearly as scandalous as it sounds.

It's over a period of 10 years, which means it's ~0.03 rounds per active duty soldier per year. No-one's bookkeeping is that good.
Hey, I'm a bit late, but it's 57-bits. On 64-bit systems page tables have 512 = 2^9 entries and page frames are 4096 = 2^12 bytes long.

So the number of bits in an n-level system is 9n + 12.

9x5 + 12 = 57

On 32-bit systems the number of PT entries was 2^10, which is why they could have a 2-level system. 10x2 + 12 = 32.
I share your pleasure in the decision, but staunchly disagree with you about the method used to reach it.

The correct decision was reached, in time (before the start of the school year) for it to make a difference.

Tons of people and thousands of schools vigorously debating is the democratic process. A decision handed down from "the top" is authoritarianism, and as we've seen repeatedly this year, authoritarian decisions are resisted even when they're the right decision.

For something like masking, you can justify it with the urgency of the situation (even though I'm compelled to add that "the top" got this one wrong during the crucial months of February and March). For starting school in the fall, you can't.

That can sound like a lot of ammunition. In many respects it is. But 60k rounds of small arms munitions can be expended in a few afternoons of practice by a single unit.

Military equiment being lost is a regular occurrence?
Not always. My kids were educated in public schools K-12 and we always lived in areas where the schools were the best. The 2 things in common for different places we lived were: (1) higher property taxes (used to fund the schools), and (2) very active parental involvement in the schools.
From an old-school lisper perspective, the code seems perfectly ergonomic to me.

It's ergonomic in a very lispy way but perfectly reasonably so from the POV of that aesthetic.

> They are "accessing ... part of the Service or Content [without being] expressly authorized."

Are they though? AFAIK, law is very pedantic, and technically speaking, a human is physically incapable of accessing Youtube; we use tools to do so. We use some kind of software to access youtube.com, in this case, we are using an app that accesses youtube.com and relays the content on that page back to us. Similar to say, using Chrome or Firefox to access youtube.com and relay the contents on the page back to us.

Note, the APP accesses youtube.com, not the user. The app is (potentially) in violation, the user using the app is not. In fact, the user may not even know that the app is actually accessing youtube. Again, IANAL and I'm sure this is argued both ways, but I'm just saying this is an interpretation of the terms.
I personally trust Mullvad because of their generally good reputation (built through independent audits), super clean user interface and very fair pricing (5€/month flat fee, no crazy long-term contracts).

Mullvad is also the provider Mozilla is using for their new VPN service (with fewer features).
Interesting to hear they “got access to the Twitter credentials when [they] found a way into Twitter’s internal Slack messaging channel and saw them posted there”. I wonder if using a free-as-in-freedom alternative like Zulip (on the front page yesterday), Mattermost (closer alternative, whose website https://mattermost.com/ emphasizes security), or Matrix (also seems popular on HN) would have prevented the hack.
Think HN broke both, getting "server is busy"

To any individual lower corruption is what that matters most. However as a country it is higher level corruption that costs you the most , all the money governments are spending without oversight on Coronavirus response for example . This is lot costlier to the country than a beat cop taking a bribe .

Most ngos and corruption indices focus too much on lower level corruption instead of both.

Well, for one, TPS is attempting to optimize the manufacturing of a fixed design.

With software the design-made-code, where software is what in automotive would be considered the design process is 100% of the cost, the shipping of bits is 0%. In automotive, it is more like 5% design vs 95% building the car, goes the other way.

When people apply manufacturing methodologies to design practices, it rarely works out. "Design" is messy, but people expect to be able to apply a manufacturing-like "LEAN" process to it. They are mixing goslings and goats.
I also use Mullvad and I pay by sending an anonymous envelope of cash to Sweden with a random number scribbled on a bit of paper. So far all of the cash I’ve sent has been added to my accounts. There’s obviously no way to know whether they follow through on their no-log claim but my sense is they’re pretty trustworthy. At the very least the person who opens their mail is.
I second Mullvad also. They don't even have usernames, emails or passwords. All you use to log in is a random number for your account. Can't get much more anonymous than that. And they financially sponsor wireguard, have a bunch of wireguard servers. Can't recommend them enough.

> Most people I know who went to public schools came out fairly well. I refuse to share this elitist/ideological attitude towards them. What indoctrination? Don't you think that's a rather general and blanket statement considering how varied each school district is? Maybe that's more of a criticism of how schools are run in your area.

That's exactly what someone who has been indoctrinated at a public school would say!

That evidence looks weak IMO, but it's frustrating that the current culture in science isn't "present the best argument for your position no matter how crazy it is" but rather "your arguments better agree with the established consensus unless you have overwhelming evidence that you are right."
You have to prove the accused went there with the intention to kill. He could have gone with the intention to talk about their debt situation, but then saw the victim and went red with rage or something like that.

It's really, really hard to get prove exactly what someone was thinking. You need a very concrete piece of evidence that proves intent, just going somewhere is not going to be enough.

Depends on the project. I'd recommend it for an app, as opposed to a website, or a large site, like a custom blog meant for multiple authors or a custom wiki.

I use it professionally and due to my involvement with a Javascript meetup, I'm regularly exposed to Angular and React examples and I'm shocked at how convoluted they can be.
I believe the case about giving money to religious schools was regarding publicly accessible facilities (playgrounds), so it doesn't change anything about funding for classrooms, teachers, etc.
The threat model you're referring to is, I assume, mostly DMCA warnings. (As in: You want your service to not get disconnected in response to them)

It does address it, when you factor in an appropriate choice of non-US VPS provider.
I can understand the sentiment well enough. The person holding the sign has the impression that experts in epidemiology aren't being listened to by some people.

"but there's probably no real answers to give"

For sure, there aren't any easy answers. I believe that smaller school districts can come up with creative answers if there's sufficient support for the schools in the community. If the school policies are dictated at the state level, then the ability to do this is made much more difficult (if not impossible).
While the states may be responsible for what happens on the ground, it is certainly the role of the federal government to provide coordination in the case of a nationwide public health issue. Clearly, that was not done in this case. The CDC, NIH, FEMA, and the surgeon general should have all been playing a role in this pandemic. The states shouldn't have had to ultimately go about creating their own regional coalitions of their own accord out of desperation.
> I think they actually make a fair point because in this case "hard to do" probably equates to "makes the compiler a lot slower".

They are wrong in this case.

When considering whether to allow `foo<T>();` in Rust, we measured the performance impact that infinite look-ahead / backtracking would have in that case. The result was negligible.

Why? Because the amount you have to look-ahead, before you can say "definitely wrong; let's turn back", in realistic code is bounded to maybe max 30 for some very complex generics. It's however much more likely that no back-tracking occurs at all because the parse will be correct.

When engineering your compiler, you can always make choices about which path is statistically more likely, as back-tracking in a well designed language is usually pathological. The theoretical O(..) complexity is largely irrelevant.

> Why would you assume they haven't committed a crime?

> I don't presume guilt (this is America, after all)

These two lines are explicitly at odds. You said you don't presume guilt, but you presumed the people the cops are picking up have committed a crime. You have presumed guilt.
I've come to the sad realization if you want anything approaching no logs, you're going to have to use something slow like tor, or you're going to have to do the illegal thing and make a botnet.

VPNs are only useful for avoiding ISP / local network surveillance like comcast, your workplace, your school, airports, etc and to avoid DCMA scare letters. Making your own with a VPS is worse, since VPSs log on some level and directly forward the DCMA scare letters to you.
I think you are at least a bit misconstruing direct democracy vs representative democracy and instead calling it democracy vs authoritarianism.

The people handing down the aforementioned decisions were elected specifically to do things like this. That doesn't outright make it authoritarianism. (Yes, most elected US politicians on both sides of the aisle skew fairly authoritarian, but that doesn't mean the process itself is authoritarian)
Nerva is for people have been diagnosed with IBS, not for people who have self-diagnosed themselves. I definitely agree, many conditions present similar symptoms like IBD, celiac disease etc so it’s important people are properly diagnosed before attempting any management options including the low FODMAP diet and GDH.

Nerva isn’t a treatment, it’s a program that teaches people self-regulation skills and relaxation exercises that can help them self-manage their symptoms.
> Has anybody used it recently on AndroidTV / FireTV?

Yes I use newpipe on a Nvidia shield as my primary youtube client. There are at least 3 of us who open tickets as issues come up for Android TV.

It's not the most polished experience, but as of 0.19.5 it's functional. It rarely pulls videos above 1080p quality for some reason, but if I have to choose between 4k content on the youtube client and 1080p with my privacy, and without advertisements that's an easy choice for me to make.
> Especially if you pay with something tied to your identity.

Then don't do that.

Though VPN are not really a strong solution for hiding your identity period. Tor is a more effective tool, but hiding your identity is extremely difficult to do effectively.

> And why does a VPS have any less likelihood of logging your traffic?

They may be too but at least you should expect their business to be viable without doing that, which is better than you can say for VPN services.
Impossible for non experts to interpret, but deserving of an equally careful and thorough response in any rebuttal claims.

Because "Innocent until proven guilty" is supposed to be a ideal in the USA.

Also, the people being kidnapped are often being released with no charges. Source: https://www.opb.org/news/article/federal-law-enforcement-unm...

> I don't presume guilt (this is America, after all), but I rather suspect the Federales have some reason to arrest some but not others, and that reason might be things like arson, assault, or other serious crimes.

The first 4 words of this statement don't work with the rest of the sentence. You claim to not presume guilt, then essentially claim that they must be guilty or else why would they be arrested?

Despite how much unwarranted police brutality is going on, you're continuing to defend the authorities.

You are part of the problem.

>You want people's private data? People will pay you to give it to them. Go ahead and sell the service for less than it costs due to the boatloads of data that you get.

The amount of "private data" as a VPN operator isn't a lot. Most sites nowadays are https, so at best you're getting browsing habits on a per-site basis. On the other hand, using a commercial VPN does confer advantages in some cases:

* geo restrictions: commercial vpn have servers in multiple countries, so you can easily switch to one that works. you can achieve the same with cloud servers, but you'll have manually spin them up/down, which isn't convenient

* anonymity: commercial vpns usually have dozens/hundreds of users on one server. You can also switch servers/regions to increase your anonymity set further. This is a much bigger anonymity set than your own private server, which is linked solely to you.

* bandwidth: if you're a heavy traffic user, you'll probably end up paying more. most cloud providers only give you around 0.5TB for a cheap server (within the price of a vpn subscription)

* DMCA/abuse: they handle the DMCA/abuse letters for you. With a self hosted server you'll have to at the very least respond to the ticket they sent otherwise they'll take down your server.
There is some caching somewhere as well, probably provides a bit more boost.

I've been at my work laptop (not logged in) and found something I wanted to reply to, so I pulled out my phone and did so. For a good 10 seconds afterwards, I could refresh my phone and see my comment, but refresh the laptop and not see it.
The sheer number of people likely to come out of this with disabilities or serious-but-not-disabled level chronic problems is really depressing. Just the lung issues (didn't know the term ARDS, thanks for that) will be terrible.
Huge numbers of users don't really mean that much. Bandwidth is the main cost, but that's kept low by having a simple design.

Serving the same content several times in a row requires very few resources - remember, reads far outnumber writes, so even dynamic comment pages will be served many times in between changes. 5.5 million page views a day is only 64 views a second, which isn't that hard to serve.

As for the writes, as long as significant serialization is avoided, it is a non-issue.

(The vast majority of websites could easily be designed to be as efficient.)
I've been browsing jobs for the month or two. I also browsed jobs when I was in my previous position. I'm not finding many jobs that fit my experience/skills.

I don't have any financial licenses or experience. I have a minor in business admin, but that doesn't mean much on a resume. So hardcore financial jobs aren't really an option. A tech job in a financial field could be good though.

The problem I'm finding with tech jobs is that they want an expert in a given technology. I have experience in Neoxam and FileNet, which are not very common. I would have to take an entry level job, but I'm just able to support my family now (with the hope of one day being able to retire). I'm also finding it much more difficult to learn new stacks as I'm getting older.

This is the critical aspect of the Sweden example: the people of Sweden are rational and everything isn't hyper politicized. Even though they tried a different approach, many still took reasonable precautions. There still were significant restrictions on operations like bars and restaurants.

Sweden was never like the "COVID denier" communities in the United States.

And still its results are relatively terrible compared to its neighbours and peers.
It's because normal people are not equipped to deal with the cherrypicking and manipulative narrative that these kinds of "evidence" papers show. Take the 5G conspiracy for example, 100+ cell phone towers attacked, and workers setting up attacked as well. Lots of testable assertions made, none backed up with any kind of evidence.
> YouTube is a closed platform (server-side), so I personally don't see much moral use of using a libre client.

How come? If someone sends me an email to my FOSS server, which I open with my FOSS client, I don't care if the server they used to send me is FOSS or not. If YouTube is just sending me data (not running their code on my machines), why should I care what they run?

In any case, to use YouTube Premium you have to login, and therefore have all your viewings tracked. Being able to have subscriptions, etc while avoiding having to login is one of the great features of NewPipe.
