The VPN leak is only around per-application VPNs and filters, which is the mechanism used by firewalls like Little Snitch and LuLu. These can not be applied to Apple's apps.

System-wide VPNs thankfully don't have the same problem.

Can anyone weigh in on why Apple would prevent this? It's not as though redirecting the traffic from Apple's software will let you impersonate Apple (unless you've also been able to load your own fake certificates, in which case the client is already hosed). At worst you can selectively block them, no? And you can do that anyway with a hosts file.

Covid can do a lot more than just kill you or leave you alone—it can cause all sorts of long-term side effects as well. The longer-term issues caused by covid are a higher priority than the potential issues posed by the vaccine. These issues are both more common and more severe than any known side effect of any vaccine in trial right now.
Did some googling, and came across this article about this Basque Pidgin https://core.ac.uk/reader/230764570. It contains many interesting facts. Including the passage:

"Certain surprising similarities among pidgins and creoles spoken in places distant from each other and with different linguistic components in their formation have led some linguistic to formulate a monogenetic theory that would trace many pidgins and creoles to a common ancestor: A Portuguese based pidgin or even to the Lingua Franca or Sabir spoken in the Mediterranean Basin from the Middle Ages (Whinnom, 1977)."

Even after the middle ages Portuguese seems to be an especially common source of pidgins, found in South east Asia, Africa and the Caribbean (curiously, in now Dutch territories) among other places.

That piracy causes client damages is a debatable point. Studies have shown those who pirate software, movies, television, etc., will rarely use or consume that content if they didn't pirate it. I know way back when, when I pirated stuff voraciously, if I couldn't find something I just never read/saw/used it. Not once in my life have I spent days or weeks trying to pirate something only to turn around and pay for it. Some (not all) studies even show that in the case of software, piracy in some cases leads to legitimate use, i.e. purchasing.

Now there's no doubt that piracy violates copyright law. We can debate whether or not that's a good thing, whether the laws in question are just, etc., until the end of time. But it's not a foregone conclusion that piracy has any negative economic impact on copyright holders.

People weren't that much less mobile 20 years ago. And it would have been much harder for many businesses to go virtual relative to today, a lot of online delivery was early days and certainly not at today's scale, etc. So "shelter in place" would probably have been much more limited. 10 years earlier and most of the things that let people stay at home would have been off the table.
Neighborhoods being segregated is much more different than entire geographical regions. People in those neighbourhoods still travel around. Also, Rosemead's most populace race according to wikipedia is only 60% asian. That's a far, far cry from 80-90+% white regions.

(I should also note that the idea they wanted familiarity is just one part of why specific minorities live together. Another is because of the effects of racism actively rejecting any attempt to integrate.)

Yes - but when we only hear about, think about, and look at the extremes, it becomes too easy to let our thought-processes about the situation become (even subconsciously) skewed. It's too easy to forget that the constant barrage of stories and information is actually about the extremes. It takes deliberate effort to keep the balanced view.

Does it mutate as fast as the influenza? If we could reduce the colds by the same amount we reduced the flu, it would already be a large gain.
“Reprogramming” actually has a specific meaning in genetics, and it’s not editing of DNA, it’s the editing of (transient, i.e. epigenetic) DNA modifications. It’s definitely true that this is not what RNA vaccines are doing.

But I guess the parent comment was using “reprogramming our bodies into vaccine factories” as a hand-waving description rather than a technically precise term. And that description is then roughly correct: with RNA vaccines, it is correct to say that our bodies are being triggered to produce the actual “vaccine” themselves; namely (at least in one type of RNA vaccine), the body’s cells are translating the injected mRNA to produce antigens, which is what a conventional vaccine contains, and which, in turn, produces an immune response.
If you’re doing it right, lockdowns are coordinated and brief.

Less precision, more speed than a digital calculator, in my experience (at least in high school physics class in the early 90s). Makes sense because the slide rule takes one precise movement per number but the digital calculator takes one movement per digit.
I've had some success with tart cherry juice (Montmorency) as well.

I had my first gout attack in my mid-40s - I'm pretty fit and not noticeably overweight (lots of cycling) and got a foot pain that I thought was a small broken bone or some-such. My GP had one look and realised it was gout (red inflammation is a giveaway). Anyway, I just took Ibuprofen and lots of liquid for a few days and it went away.

I've had a few minor bouts of it that seem to be brought on by either eating asparagus or mackerel or not drinking enough water, so I tried the cherry juice for a while which seemed to work. After a year or so of that, I thought I'd just try drinking more water instead - that works most of the time though I did have a minor gout episode just last week.

There are a few episodes covering similar material on PBS Space Time [1], if you want to go into a little more depth. Space Time episodes are short (typically 10 minutes or less), so this makes a great thing to watch when you have a little time to kill.

If you want to play around with time dilation and length contraction in special relativity, I wrote a web-based calculator to help with that [2].

You can enter the relative velocity of two aligned frames that are moving along each other's x axis, and it gives you a series of rows representing events. The frames are called "your frame" and "their frame".

Each row has 4 numbers, x and t of the event in your frame, and x and t of the same event in their frame. When you enter any two of those numbers, it updates the other two.

For example, you could enter x = 3 in your frame, t = 5 in their frame, and it will update t in your frame and x in their frame so that x and t in your frame and x and t in their frame refer to the same event.

The README gives an example of how you could use this to figure out the famous ladder paradox.

Yes, and I explained why I dismissed it. It has no relation to social democracy. Why are you digging deeper instead of just posting something to back up your point?

I'm from a classically social democratic country and I see absolutely no trace at all of that in that period nor today in the US. So I'm dumbfounded about how you can make such a claim. But since you're clearly unwilling to back it up beyond some vague associations to social spending I'll assume that you're a troll now.

As a side note, the basques are a crazy and lovely bunch, and they party like there's no tomorrow.

I lived in Spain for 5 years, and 4 out of those 5 I dated a basque girl.

Basques are really proud of their culture and specially their language that is, at the same time, highly "dialectal" (If there's such a word).
My gf at the time was from San Sebastian, but lived in a small town near Bilbao called Amorebieta.

She studied in the university of Pamplona, Navarra; she had a roomate from Vitoria, the capital of Álava province (One of the 3 provinces that make Euskadi, the basque country * .) and there were many occurrences where one had to explain to the other the meaning of a word they used.
They also are a bit wary of the "euskara batúa" (The "standard" basque) although it worries them more the fact that it seems the language is slowly being lost.

I picked several words along the way and I also asked her to teach me some phrases, one in particular that I still remember (although may be not 100% accurately):

Nirea da printxesen artean politena

(Mine is the most beautiful among all them princesses)

and she would scream in joy when I'd repeat that in front of her female friends.

* Navarra also has a strong basque heritage, but is not considered part of the basque country due to events in the spanish history were it would negotiate some political rights separately, and is a "principado" (principality? Princedom?).

They are also very, very tight knit families - Basques are somehow highly matriarchal - and they take proud in remembering all their "8 last names" (Specially if they all are of basque origin).
Friend groups are also very tight knit, and a lot of people keep friendships they developed at an early age through their whole life.

Basques are also incredible loyal and hardworking people; but they also party like no one.

In Amorebieta a the time - ~2005 - I think there were only 4 or 5 bars, and on weekends people would go rotating constantly through them all (This was not particular to the town, but something that was normal for basques).
On Sundays and holidays it was normal to find in the afternoon entire families having a drink at the sidewalk in the bars.

I know people from the UK had a certain fame about drinking, but let me tell you _nobody_ drinks & party like the Spaniards, and basques are at the top 3 of the Spanish nationalities of the list.

There's a rather entertaining book called "The Basque History of the World" [0] that claims, among other things, that the basques were also in America before Columbus and that more or less we own them the invention of salted cod that made possible the long journeys around the globe.

I left Spain 13 years ago, and to this day one of the things I miss the most is my basque family.

So why is it too soon to declare about long term covid damage, even tho we had it for almost a year now and have data of millions of people who had it, but it’s not too soon to declare that a vaccine that was created in 2 months and tested on 50k healthy adults is safer?
IMHO using Emacs as your X window manager isn't particularly strange -- conceptually at least, it seems more natural than the Chromebook model, where people are essentially using a web browser as a window manager.

That is not true:

AFAIU the argument is more that youtube-dl is effectively a web browser and doesn’t do anything that a web browser doesn’t do. Further, it does not include any “secret” key for DRM circumvention like might be bundled with e.g. Chrome in the case of Widevine, where browser vendors agree to protect the secret key.

Thanks for posting this. While the rate of cases in my vascinity isn't as high as your seems to be, I only hear about mild to "strange weird cold". I am glad for them. Doesn't seem like the big danger the media is trying to sell. At least not in my circles.
I like to think of Emacs more as a platform for a collection of Emacs lisp programs living in a shared process space.

It's not unlike what I've seen of Smalltalk (though I don't use that myself): you wouldn't necessarily think of the Smalltalk VM and image as a huge monolith program.
> Obviously it’ll go to at risk people,

The obviousness of this strategy has been challenged over the last 10-20 years. At-risk people in some cases do not respond fully to vaccines, and the reaction can be stressful to their systems.

Last I heard, the recommendation for influenza was 100% vaccination for nursing home staff and a strong recommendation for visitors to also get vaccinated. The bubble of protection from this strategy has, apparently, lower overall risks.

Doctors and nurses, especially urgent care, will likely be first in line (or perhaps due to an abundance of caution, half of them first in line, half later). I'd like to see the people we have labelled 'essential workers' up next.
:) I'm just glad people actually use it, I do it for myself anyway but it's nice to know that others get some benefit out of it as well.
Well the anti-vax conspiracy crap already started on my local Whatsapp groups here in S.A - some UK women doing a wikipedia search around the terms recombinant DNA and used a human cell line (MRC-5) from the packaging of the trial Oxford vaccine.

But there was at least one ancestor comment that said it was open source, and that is what I was replying to.
Well, that's the third option of "lockdown" and "hospitals overwhelmed by dying people". Both of which are also bad.

And almost all of us have had our vaccinations for the common diseases, in childhood or as adults for travel purposes.

And many of us are tired: tired of lockdown, tired of unsubstantiated nonsense on social media, tired of anti-vaxers, and tired of worrying whether someone we know will suffer severe consequences from this disease (I know many people in the "vulnerable" category, and a couple who've already experienced severe symptoms despite being young).
Well done Microsoft!

I can't imagine the political turmoil in the org that led up to this. It wasn't simply a quick sting that would fade, the mass protest on the site was probably the biggest wake up call. MS could easily have pissed away the 7.5+ billion they paid for all the developers that use github.

Without developers, github is nothing.
There is a way, its not very clean, git filter-branch and you will have to force push all branches, which is fun with large teams.

Unfortunately in larger repos with long histories its extremely slow, and uses a lot of IO. I used it previously to clean up large binaries that were included early on in a repo's history, making it take up way more space than needed.
