Linux offers virtual TUN/TAP[1] devices that encrypt all traffic that is routed through them, along with proxying at the application-level that allows you to tell, say Firefox, to use your VPN.

Linux also lets you create VPN connections for individual apps if you use network namespacing. Before Wireguard, I used use network namespaces with OpenVPN[2] to create individual tunnels for different apps, and it worked nicely.

I would find it better if he'd add something like an auto accept pull request bot, that allows you to append a single url (with validation check + rate limiting) to a file, that will be read by the url shortener + auto deploy on new master commit. That would be truly databaseless.
If anyone wants to play with these ideas in Clojure(script), take a look at the SICMUtils project: https://github.com/littleredcomputer/sicmutils

I picked up co-maintenance on this project a few months ago; it's a Clojure port of the computer algebra system behind Sussmans' "Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics" [0] and "Functional Differential Geometry" [1], and can run all the code from those books. (I'm currently working on integrating it into https://Maria.cloud so all of this will be usable from the browser.)

`sicmutils.generic.simplify` plugs in to a rule-based term rewriting system like Mathematica's, along with polynomial and rational function simplification.

The core idea of the library is that if you build everything on top of extensible generic arithmetic operators (multimethods in Clojure), then a lot of good stuff shows up for free:

- If I implement all the operations for symbols, I get a symbolic arithmetic system for free.
- Extend the generics to Dual numbers[2]? Boom, forward-mode AD pops out!

I'm getting carried away. Check it out, get your term-rewriting fix.

Doctors and nurses dying is a negligible concern IMO. Yet again - there have been a few highly publicized cases of things like this, but at scale it is just not something that happens at a non-negligible frequency. I have multiple family members in the medical field. None of them report any such issues - including my sister who is a doctor working in a covid unit in Indianapolis.
Your numbers are wildly off.

Assuming 99% of people had zero issues then you would see 52 million people completely fine and 520,000 hospitalizations except many people get severely ill without going to a hospital so we would easily be approaching herd immunity.

Instead it’s likely closer to ~3-6% hospitalizations with nearly half of those people dying. With 70,000 people currently in the hospital, expect the death toll to keep increasing. The numbers do look better for young people, but if your thinking of 55+ as old, a huge hunk of the population is old.

PS: The recent bump hit 1,000 deaths per day, but daily peak is still increasing rapidly so expect that to rise significantly.
See that is the problem. Sure everything is fine if all I use is sway + alacritty and terminal based apps on a single screen but as soon as I mix in multiple terminals, x11 apps, glitchy hdpi, experience starts to deteriorate quickly
Because it's akin to slum tourism. The article appears to be written by a well to do author who takes on a hard blue collar job for a very short period of time. They then write about the unique and whimsical experience. We get treated to a cozy story about picturesque fishing villages as viewed through rose colored glasses.

Meanwhile the work is hard, dirty and dangerous for the people who do this for a living in order to survive day to day. The author gets to go back to their well to do life on a family owned island while the fishermen continue to toil at sea.

Apple has only been doing this for 3 major OS releases, or about two years.

On Windows you can run WPD[1] and turn it off, and also firewall the hosts it communicates with using the OS's built-in firewall.

Big Sur won't let you block Apple apps now.

That may be but they must have some indication of how strong a response those who got the vaccine are generating vs the time they entered the trial. Is there fall off? More or less than expected? How confident are they that immunity will last at least a year?

If you had access to a public key for every email address then why stop at authentication - you could encrypt all email on the web. But we don't, so we can't.
Apple is very clear when they decide a certain machine or generation of machines will not be eligible for an os upgrade.

More likely as someone in the thread pointed out, this is probably a bug related to some kind of defect or damage in the system's io board. Perhaps a certain revision of said board is a problem. Some suggest that something the upgrade does 'damages the board' .. perhaps through some kind of firmware update, but that story isn't so clear yet.

> Would they?

I expect so.

> They've not for Netflix, nor (to my knowledge) does youtube-dl support even the videos on youtube that you have to pay to watch.

And that is the difference.

For paid content the user has entered into a contract and that probably stipulates what clients can be used to access the content. Same as with Netflix. Google could argue the same for non pay-walled youtube content but that would be very difficult to legally pull off I expect - they would essentially be effectively changing the licensing conditions of all that content. If they can't (easily) or won't (for PR reasons if nothing else) enforce it legally, then there is little point trying to enforce it technically.
This. A million times. I live in an area where people are so more often than not downplaying how big of a deal Covid itself is because "99% have no lasting symptoms. Just a bad cold is all." or "My spouse had it. NBD."

Mostly, you can't convince them otherwise. But I wish they could just see the effect it would have on non-covid hospital cases and think about that, if nothing else.

Welcome to the ancient times. The speed of information travel has always been capped but now we know that there is absolute upper limit - c.

The prior conversation does have information (such as which precise board is impacted) in it that satisfy the technical curiosity aspect, and it's possible since I last checked someone found a solution (probably not). HN's front page isn't a great way to seek emotional support on technical issues, though — for example, a subset of the community is guaranteed to tell you "switch away from Apple" rather than offer interesting or useful replies.
> There were many (and still are) many sovereign indigenous nations in what's now known as Australia

There are no sovereign indigenous nations in australia. You will not find them as members in the UN, you will not find them on maps, they cannot form any sovereign treaties with other nations, etc.

The idea of "sovereign indigenous nations" is just virtue signaling. Maybe one day they will be free and sovereign nations, but I seriously doubt it.
I personally agree, but there are some interesting counter-examples. For example, if someone discloses the credentials to an account but says nobody is authorized to use those credentials, I think it violates the CFAA to use those credentials. Even more-so if they only tell you their username, but the password can be inferred without direct disclosure (e.g., if the username is "thepasswordishunter2").

Here's the thing though. You (and the others you mention) are not likely to have had any diagnostic testing done to see if there have been knock on effects from the virus. That you may not have symptoms of other problems does not in itself mean there has not been damage done to organs or nervous system.
This is called "making a virtue out of necessity". I don't believe that Github actually needed the EFF's writing for this, or that they don't have the necessary technical expertise themselves. But at least they seem to have learned something from it now and want to review such requests technically before they (unjustifiably) act.
Absolutely. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24902631
Hi HN, this is a little pet project we created over the last couple of weeks. We created "Software EKG" a while back as an internal tool to analyze large amounts of time series data collected on production systems. This was before things like Prometheus and Grafana existed and it proved to be a valuable tool in our belt when we had to hunt down performance issues and relate different metrics like harddisk I/O and request latency in our application.

This adjusted version automatically downloads COVID-19 data from OWID. Feedback welcome.
Why did the EFF have to step in here? What did the EFF letter provide that GitHub couldn't have figured out itself? If GitHub really was "standing up for developers", why couldn't Microsoft's own army of lawyers figure this out?

If youtube-dl (or any OSS project) continues to use GitHub, I hope they have a backup plan ready at all times. Even if GitHub truly is on the right side, they've proven themselves to be a liability for legitimate projects.
Yeah, the feds will get right on that.

I like the idea of non-repudiation, let the chips fall where they may when such authentic email is maliciously dumped.

Perhaps a simple timestamped based appendage can be added for the sake of email client authentication. In other words reject the email if the signature is older than a few hours/minutes.
These are pre-registration trials, which is a mechanism specifically designed to avoid this kind of cheating. Your comment also contains other, specific false statements:

> long term effects failed dramatically in animal testing.

That is incorrect.

> They use tests that can give false positives (PCR>26 cycles)

This false claim about how PCR works is a deliberate lie spread by conspiracy theorists. This is emphatically not how high cycle numbers of PCR are used.

> Or just look at symptoms that are similar to flu.

What does that mean?

> They do not have a proper (long term) placebo group (why not also use untreated patients as well).

They do that.

> Other factors with huge impact as health, habits, food, Vitamin-D.

That’s why you use large, randomised cohorts.

> Big pharma wants to collect "their" billions for their medicine.

I’m in favour of socialising big pharma companies. But this claim is still bullshit. Pharma companies can hike prices for working medication. They don’t need to invent fake medication that will be exposed in the long run and leads to company-destroying lawsuits.

Since we have reasonably reliable data about hospitalizations, deaths, and transmission rates I don't think we should rely on anecdotes at all.
If you think people don't care about their weight, you are misinformed. Different people gain and lose weight differently. It's that simple. If someone was bad at math, would you say "I don't understand why people care so little about learning math"? Of course not. And, the same with obesity, there are a lot of factors. I'm not saying that it is out of an individual's control, just that it is MUCH harder for some people than others. Some thin people may never give a second thought to how much they eat, while some overweight people may think about it constantly and struggle. Also, please keep in mind that the biggest problem obese face is the attitudes of others.

I will be shocked if we don't (soon) discover that there are environmental/chemical factors causing obesity beyond just food choice. For example: https://www.vox.com/2015/8/24/9194579/obesity-animals
Well, this sucks of course. Apple is to blame and should repair it for free, etc. But now I'm just curious as to 'how' this would work. Is there some sort of EEPROM, flash or controller on that board that gets loaded with new settings or firmware? I know Big Sur does some UEFI upgrades, but would that extend to the I/O board? Or is that a separate payload? Or perhaps the update is only for the SMC or Intel firmware which crashes with certain I/O boards during init and then once init is complete it can cope with any I/O board next boot?
Humans are not rational. People pay money to have pictures of their kids - this is completely irrational, but we would all agree that someone who doesn't have pictures of their kids is lacking sanity. People pay a lot of money for clothing that is in style when something cheaper would be just as good - sometimes better.

Irrational actors are only punished when their irrationality exceeds a threshold, which is rare in these days where we don't let people starve to death easily.
Maybe they’re developing a fixed lens camera like the Leica Q or the old (defunct) R1XR.
>It's particularly surprising because physical exercise doesn't cost anything and healthy food is extremely cheap if one can be bothered to learn how to cook.

Time and energy are finite resources and an abundance of them correlates with an abundance of other resources like money. Being healthy is certainly possible without money, but it tends to be more difficult to achieve.
> That educated people believed that the Earth was flat is largely a myth.

And this is one of those rarer times that everyone is wrong who believes this myth, although maybe they are uneducated too.

It's also worth mentioning that relative to us we are always moving through time with speed of c (there's no spacial speed). It's only relative to some other observers we are moving through space (and vice versa).
The fear and media has convinced people like you that crazy things are true like a 20% hospitalization rate. But check out the cdc: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidvi... . It looks like the hospitalization rate of (cases) is hovering around 7%. That means the positive hospitalization rate of _infections_ (which would include people that never got tested and never went to a hospital, but also got covid) would be even considerably lower than that. Which would square with my experience - being acquainted with ~100 people that have had covid and knowing nobody that went to the hospital.

I think it's just common sense to wait for the bugs to get ironed out of new software when you are working with mission critical software and hardware.

The people you know don't matter. The goal is not to overburden the health system. Hospitals have a limited amount of intensive care units. And if Covid patients fill them up doctors need to do triage (that happened on the first wave in Italy). Then it's not only an issue of people who have Covid, but also a problem of other people who need an intensive care unit.

Also just because you don't know anyone doesn't mean it's bad. If we can reduce people dying it's worth doing it. And it's just not a few in this case.
The foundation of the article is false. There is no 'space'. There is only spacetime.

Thank you for correction.
The mathematics of COVID-19 is not that hard - and has been known since pretty much the beginning. No need for hatred and personal attacks..

Lets do some real mathematics.

1) Get good data (e.g. death by date).

2) Take a look at the Logarithm of the growthrate ln(f'/f)

3) Spot all those straight lines - those are the curves of outbreaks

4) Turn those lines into a working formula for an outbreak

5) Calculate predictions - evaluate trend-changes - look when new outbreaks happened.

It's just that simple. Results won't give you insight about the mainstream, but it will give some insights about reality.

Some countries are easier (Mexico, Germany, ...).. Some have more outbreaks and complications. But the basic principles of the mathematics of COVID-19 outbreaks around the globe are the same.

Calculating the new outbreaks of Sweden is more advanced because the start of the new curve is hidden behind another outbreak. But now there's at least enough visible to give good estimates.
Right, but the law makes no mention of secret keys, it just says you can't go around anything that controls access to a copyright work; and you can't provide tools to do so. The actual legal definition of tools covers both actual technical purpose as well as marketed purpose. Rebranding, say, OBS as "Recorder for YouTube" and talking about how you can use it to get around YouTube's downloading protections by screencapping the entire video would possibly constitute a 1201 violation.

There's also another question of law, though: does 1201 apply when only the intent of the DRM has been circumvented, as opposed to it's technical scope? In other words, does pointing a camera at a monitor constitute circumvention of DRM under section 1201? Most DRM can't actually validate, say, that a human is watching instead of a camcorder. (Let's ignore pesky things like Cinavia which are more akin to post-piracy frustration techniques, and easily circumvented with any kind of Free media player.) Likewise, YouTube's rolling cipher can't really validate that it's not sitting inside of an instrumented browser that will dump whatever URLs it grabs. Our hypothetical OBS rebrand wouldn't actually be a 1201 violation unless the law specifically covers things that DRM can't technically enforce but would like to.
The threat is not limited to politicians. Anyone (including you and your family members) could be blackmailed or otherwise publicly embarrassed.
It's also possible that this is related to previous UEFI updates; there was an issue where those would be pushed via the same update paths are OS and app updates, but sometimes they would time out and not get installed; and then never get tried again. Not sure on what models this happens, but if that is the case we could be dealing with an issue related to different starting versions of the firmware during the update. Interesting to say the least.
