It absolutely does. If you argue from a basis of moral consensus, it is precisely an argument against that to argue that the moral consensus is the opposite.
It’s very, very widely used jargon. I’d put “data provenance” on par with “overfitting” or “GPU model training” in terms of the high, ubiquitous place it occupies in mainstream machine learning.

Software development technology is getting close. A couple few more years maybe and that problem will start to go away fairly rapidly [relatively speaking], like possible 30-40% cross platform by the end of maybe 5 years-ish. 12 year android dev here seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with some newer performant (dev wise and user wise) frameworks and architectural patterns. Of course this all depends on Apple not saying FU to the entire industry in a dramatic, squashing those frameworks with their iron fist sorta way.

I've done a lot of professional work over the past few months† with WireGuard and can't think of a piece of information I've ever needed to troubleshoot it that it doesn't provide. You know about `dynamic_debug`, right?

There's also just not that much to debug! You've got keys, allowed IP lists, and endpoint addresses. There aren't a lot of other knobs to turn!

I think a thing that gets people into trouble with WireGuard is not understanding how modest its design is. The goal of WireGuard is to drop into the networking stack as just another interface. It doesn't intend to implement an entire new networking model on top of itself. My experience has generally been, if it's straightforward to express in the Linux networking model, it's straightforward with WireGuard.

I think this is a very good thing. I really don't want to have to think about what the OpenVPN developers believe about networking in general. I want to bring up secure transports and route packets over them the way I'd route over any other tunnel I want orthogonal, predictable interfaces that I (or Tailscale, or whatever) can build more complicated things on top of.

If UK tries to limit what enters, they invite relatiation from what the EU allows to enter.

Anyway based on polling, that's not why (a slim majority of) UK voters voted leave (except for controlling which people can enter, not which cheese). Lies about NHS funding and the like were a larger reason.
Maybe, I doubt it though. If it's open source seems like someone is likely to spend the hour or two to migrate a cute little X11 widget (like the Xclock) to Weyland.
Many places will tow your car. Some places will tow it within 20 minutes. That pretty much ruins the point of parking there.

I have had the opposite experience to OP. I have the macOS app installed on several Macs (laptops and desktops). They have all worked so well to the point that I even forget Wireguard is running. On top of that I upgrade macOS almost as soon as Apple releases a new version.

It is true that for updating WG you need to first disable the on-demand setting (probably only on Big Sur). But to me that is such a trivial hiccup considering it is free and generally bug free! On the rare occasions that I have had a non-trivial issue looking at the log file has provided clues.

My VPN cost is only about $5/month as I run my own instance of WG server in the cloud. Worth every penny! It is possible it could be lower if I use one of those #3.50/month AWS lightsail instances but I never tried.

Go WG!
How many times should voters be asked to vote on each issue? Everyone loves democracy until the voters make the "wrong" choice.
Could you elaborate on how these issues and limitations you mention can manifest in practice? I’ve set up a couple of different topologies and haven’t felt limited yet.

Though troubleshooting packet loss is not fun and I haven’t been able to figure out how to avoid that and fragmentation, but I believe that’s more due to me than WG itself.
There’s still a use case for different presentations at different resolutions. SVG can certainly address that with existing standards, but I doubt the zillion different icon formats will coalesce on a common spec within SVG. Probably the best hope is a manifest of identifiers/refs within a single SVG file.
Nowhere in Europe is more sycophanic to banks than London, where the banks have pushed the human residents out while messing with the economy.
I have a personal conspiracy that Bitfinex has been pumping BTC by printing unbacked Tethers (they have the same CEO) then just buying up everything themselves on Bitfinex and creating fake volume. BTC price goes up and all other exchanges adopt that price. Next Bitfinex sends the crypto they bought to the other exchanges and swap it for real money. Rinse and repeat. As soon as people realize that Bitfinex is insolvent and Tether is basically worthless the whole thing will implode.

My theory is that Bitfinex is basically broke. They've been hacked numerous times, and their bank account was frozen. Their choices were to either admit that and freeze users' funds or fake their way out. Since the CEO of Bitfinex also controls Tether he decided to switch everyone's account from USD to Tether. Next he needed to attract capital, so he decided to pump up the price of bitcoin higher than other exchanges to make people send bitcoin to Bitfinex. That has become a loop and every time they print more Tether they send it to Bitfinex and pump up the price. What is their end game? I'm guessing an island with no extradition treaty. They are trading their tether for crypto and the crypto for real money but nobody knows where that money is going.

It will probably turn out the exchanges were running a fractional reserve and they don't have enough crypto - and if usdt is also no longer redeemable everyone on the exchange would basically lose everything.

I only own $2k in BTC & ETH, but I believe you are right in identifying tether as a cryptocaust waiting to happen. People have been shorting since 2017 or so, so I wonder what sort of external event will push everything over the edge.

Not that easy, last client was underwriting and they cannot write any business in the EU and their attempt to get licences was rejected last time, so they’re having to run business through another company and somehow finagle paperwork to reinsure it themselves, or something. It’s not easy at all, regulations have ensured that it’s not easy.
Also "Frictionless sharing and collaboration" seems not valid at all when it exists in the closed ecosystem that is Apple. Probably the decision is to follow with Android and web [windows+linux].
The U.K. imports plenty of cheese from Europe. When you are a small business, you have less access to capital and so you tend to need a larger, faster return on investments. Presumably the expense of working out how to ship cheese to the U.K. (or Switzerland) is not worth the expected near term return. A larger cheese maker could afford this investment (and would be in a better position to sell more cheese to eg supermarkets or wholesalers).

Any tips on how to run your own server safely? I get all paranoid because I’m terrible with security.
The philosophy is: use external tools to manage what you're describing, like cloudflare warp, WG itself is designed to be as simple as it is.

IPSec is just like that, it's just wireguard can be manually setup with the minimal wg command, while nobody uses IPSec barehanded.

I tend to find it unfair that people who cannot afford healthcare, shelter and other basic needs have to rely on the goodwill of people to get by. Charity is good, but we should be striving for a society where our fundamental needs are guaranteed through taxes. It creates a culture of pity rather than equity and I think it’s wrong.
Just be glad they didn't say it was "on fleek".
There is somewhat renewed interest in hybrid approach. See, for example, DeepProbLog[1][2][3] - a combination of Deep Learning and probabilistic logic.

52-48 is a poor democracy. 48% of the demos ("half") didn't get a cracy. And the 52 were plainly lied to by the politicians who claimed to have a Leave plan but followed up with 4 years of mass confusion and a last minute rushed agreement 11 months after it was due.

A good democracy finds a compromise that gets a much larger majority vote.

I have triple 32" monitors and I don't use them to multitask, per se ... I use them to display multiple contexts and inputs for single tasks.

It is not uncommon for me to be working on a single task that involves a (long) terminal window, a browser window and a second browser window.

Sometimes one of the screens is completely blank/empty and I much prefer that to the lack of a screen at all.

I thought this was interesting to read now 20 years later as we embark into 2021.

One of my favorite quotes

"The "growth over profits" mentality and the aura of "new economy" invincibility led some companies to engage in lavish spending on elaborate business facilities and luxury vacations for employees. Upon the launch of a new product or website, a company would organize an expensive event called a dot com party."

It’s been this way for at least 8-10 years. Nothing has changed except it’s gotten more stable and simpler thereby.

There were many cases of pilots breaking the sound barrier in a dive prior to the X-1, even during World War II, and even some of them living to tell the tale. That was never in dispute.

The point of the X-1 has always been that it was the first human piloted plane that broke the sound barrier in level, controlled, and repeatable flight.
We have a bunch, but they are mainly continuity agreements at this point.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_agreements_of_the_Unit...

Remember though that an average trade deal takes longer to negotiate than the time we have legally had to negotiate them so far. It is likely that in the next 5 or so years we will get an agreement with the USA, CPTPP and India.

Unless you have information otherwise, I don't think that the whitelist applied to the filtering features used by Little Snitch et al also applies to VPNs.

During covid, in my experience, it was very difficult to actually get it done as the banks I talked to all had an influx of requests and couldn't keep up. Also, I'm not counting it as "opening online" if you need to do any KYC anywhere physical. I'm talking about opening while abroad which requires showing your passport on a Zoom call. I am also not counting banks that I consider to be not real banks, such as Mercury among others, altho they will be fine for many people. But it's not a real bank when you have a 5,000 or 20,000 USD daily spend limits and if sending a wire to China and getting one wire returned gets your account shut down (my experience). Any upstart bank which doesnt have it's own banking license but instead used a partner bank is so scared of losing their partnership and so purely focused on growth that they dont want any "difficult" clients.

When did you open your last 3 accounts and which banks were they and how did you do the KYC? I would love to be wrong.

It's funny how these articles are always so quick to reassure "no payment details have been compromised", as if that is a significant concern. How did we get to the point where the private data that can be rendered obsolete with one phone call is treated much more securely than private data that will follow us for the rest of our lives?

We need a lobbying group that will strong-arm lawmakers into crafting regulation so that our personal information will be treated with at least as much care as ephemeral credit card numbers.

In my humble opinion, it is critical that we become OK with being alone. I believe that only when we are comfortable by ourselves, can we truly ever be happy with someone else.
This seems like a very dangerous generalization.

Yes, because you're only temporarily promised to get what you want at the expense of having voting power permanently diluted.
That’s the theory. Then you have appointments one year in the future. Of course you have to be there otherwise you have to wait months for another one. You also have to be there early because having an appointment does not necessarily mean that there will be someone for you, it just means that you can queue on that day. You might also have to travel quite a bit because the office to which you have to go is allocated unpredictably.

Then, add all the difficulties an administration can throw at you (you sent an uncertified copy? too bad; the document with the exact title does not exist in your country of origin? Too bad; Records were lost because of a civil war? Too bad; You did not check the box L-430-b on the cf-740 form even though you should have because you were born on a full moon from parents working for a watchamacallit factory? Too bad; etc ad nauseam).

These difficulties depend a lot on where you’re from; it’s quite different for rich Americans than for poor Malians. So yes, it’s generous on paper but the devil is in the implementation details, as with all bureaucracy.

Also, it’s quite expensive if you consider the whole process.
When something happened sometimes it happened everywhere around the sane time. It would be odd to have one singularity. But 4004 ... now we know it is not.
Your analogy is disconnected from reality. Fire drills (aside from the surprise kind which can be pretty bad) are gone into with full knowledge.

Indeed, in my country I'd say a 1.6/1.8 is "standard" and anything over a 2.4 uncommon. Plenty of 1.2s/1.4s around for students and the budget sensitive too, and even some 1.0s (current model Nissan Micra, Honda Civic)
It would be kinda cool if the basic slideable/toggleable options of a plugin could be defined somehow so that the program/OS of your choice can render them as a nice boring inspector palette or something. Then you can choose between that and the vendor-defined skeuomorphic design. Perhaps it already exists?
The reality is that 99% of people don't really want to hear other people's problems. Most people want to have someone to tell their problems. The other 1% can be considered as very good friends.

Ray Holt also went on to design the Jolt computer, a very early 6502 based computer which lead to the SYM-1 (also designed by Ray Holt), and TIM-1, which was more of a kit with a pre-programmed ROM. I built my own TIM-1 this year and have been doing a bit of research into these early 6502 boards. The Jolt computer is perhaps most famous for being used as the microprocessor section in the first Atari 2600 prototypes.
Not in a referendum, but both a European election and at least one general election provided evidence to suggest that the voters hadn't changed their minds.

Pchar: A Tool for Measuring Internet Path Characteristics (2005)
I’m still sad about the state of WireGuard for average consumers. The protocol and the underlying tools are a simple and nice in a UNIX-like way, but for average people, it’s a wash. WireGuard would benefit greatly from a set of robust, easy to understand clients.

The current state of the world, where many VPN providers ship questionable apps of varying quality, is just sad for a solution that claims to prioritize security and privacy. The WireGuard app is somewhat useable, but it is by no means “easy to setup” unless you’re already familiar with how WireGuard works.
*Lesley, whoops.
I've found traffic aware cruise control greatly reduces driver fatigue as you don't have to constantly manage your speed. This improves both safety (you stay more alert and can spend more of your effort scanning and maintaining situational awareness) and means you're less tired to engage in other activities when not driving.
Who's talking about cosmic justice? Don't be ridiculous. We can identify instances of harm and that's about it.

Every system dealing in dichotomies (including binary) will eventually fail in reality, which always is more nuanced. Exactly how it fails depends on our knowledge, biases and our ability to account for them.

The problem is that flawed, biased AI systems are presented as neutral and fair, when they can never be. Ethics is what you get when you genuinely care about other peoples reality, not just following the law.
Am I the only one who misread the name on first glance?

Being married to a French citizen makes things much, much easier. You still have to apply to filter out obviously problematic cases (and convenience marriages just for the purpose of getting citizenship) but otherwise it is mostly automatic.

I think it is easier than getting German citizenship (and others: naturalisation in Switzerland is notoriously very difficult), but it’s not necessarily saying much.

I can absolutely second the "tunnel vision" aspect of that state of mind. the more you put this number and other resources in front of people, the more likely it is to sleep into that tunnel.
Yes. Call me an Apple fanboy but criticisms that this was somehow nefarious data collection are baseless paranoia.
Does Donenfeld vouch for Tunsafe? I'd be reluctant to use a WireGuard client he didn't endorse, if only because I've been on the sidelines in conversations about VPN client software vulnerabilities and I know he's careful about this stuff (Donenfeld's background is in vuln research). There is more to get right than just the protocol.
Blender looks great but is a bit oddball too (though less so now). I’d also nominate QGIS as a good open-source app (UI). Maybe not “art,” but I think it’s become almost de facto for what a hobbyist will reach for first, and it’s generally quite user-friendly. But they are rare!
