I totally understand using a VPN service if you're trying to access the internet from another location, e.g. to get past the China firewall or get access to content from a different copyright jurisdiction.

However, I don't fully understand the privacy argument. It would seem to be that instead of handing over your entire DNS query history and unencrypted HTTP history to your own corporate IT department or the Starbucks Wi-Fi router, you're now handing over all that data to Mullvad. Are people okay with that?

I usually create my own VPNs. I realize that involves handing data over to AWS or whoever I use for my servers but I somehow feel slightly better about that than handing it over to some Mullvad dude.

Google tries to impose its VPN on Android too and my first insinct is: do I really want all my traffic going through Google?

I did know a family that fit this profile. The daughter challenged the parents and the parents, specifically the mother couldn't deal with it well.

Rather than divorce, the daughter went to a private school, then to live with relatives in another country.
> it would be some variant of theft.

The assumption you are making here is that the government has the right to steal that 60 million in the first place.

Basically the reason they can is because they have more people with guns. Turns out, when it comes to Bitcoin, those guns end up being less powerful.

This means that the basic assumption where a government can steal from its people is being turned up side down.

Joking aside, I’m the youngest in a family of 3 boys and 4 girls and your comment lines up with my upbringing. Being the youngest I got to see the teenager year insanity of my sisters all unfold. Another anecdote is that when one of my brothers did get in trouble it was always something significantly worse than my sisters.
If I put a gun to your head, and give you a choice, with great probability you would choose life. Most people would. Your choice will likely be the same the day after, the day after that, next month, next year.

The only reason to choose death is if you're suffering so much, you don't want to live anymore.

Most people are doing fine. Most people will happily accept 100 or 1000 more years of life, given a choice.

I, personally, will happily accept millions of years. There's so much to learn, so many great books to read, so much of universe to explore.
>However, I don't fully understand the privacy argument.

Yes, it's crap, and any techbro worth their salary should know this.

It's also incredibly annoying when VPN this and VPN that pops up on youtube.

Of all the people who have lived in the centuries since the term doctor got established, a very large majority hasn't ever interacted with a doctor that wasn't of the medical kind. From this perspective any weirdness surrounding the term/terms becomes rather unsurprising.
Every ordered system is a local entropy reduction that is compensated by a larger entropy gain somewhere else (usually in the form of heat) to satisfy the 2nd law (which is an arrow of time).

We can calculate the minimum entropy right after the big bang, and can estimate the maximum entropy after the heat death of the visible universe.

We are about half way there.
I wonder what trying a 90+ woman as a juvenile for crimes committed 80 years ago will accomplish. Wouldn't a large fraction of Germans alive during the Holocaust be similarly complicit?

'The woman, who was a minor at the time of the alleged crimes, "is accused of having assisted those responsible at the camp in the systematic killing of Jewish prisoners, Polish partisans and Soviet Russian prisoners of war in her function as a stenographer and secretary to the camp commander," between June 1943 and April 1945, the prosecutors said in a statement.
She will face a juvenile court because she was under 18 when she served in Stutthof.'
> If I had to guess my sense is that a dad's intent is not to be sexist, but to keep their daughters safe.

It can be both. Infantilizing, being overprotective, on the basis of gender is an expression of sexism. I'm sure that it's well intentioned, but if one only examines their intentions and not impact, then they're not actually reducing harm
Truly curing aging should mean keeping minds flexible, too.
If you mean 17th century trading companies, their sailing ships had one way journey times of six months to one year to practically anywhere in the world. So it's an interesting example, but interstellar distances are usually many times longer: 5 (light) years or 10 years or much more.

I guess that the reason globe-spanning empires and trading companies appeared from about 1600 on was in fact because sailing ships had reduced the travel time enough to allow a cohesive network with some centralized control. Previously, with slower communications, they tended to lose control of the extremities and devolve to looser associations (because the lag was excessive, on the scale of a human life)

So, I'm going to bypass all of the really cool things about the excellent work that this Ph.D. candidates, Ms. Yuanming Wang, has done here and just comment on my amusement that this female Ph.D. candidate and her supervisor, Professor Tara Murphy, were working with Manly Astrophysics (http://manlyastrophysics.org/index.html) on this project.

> The relationship between feelings of safety and actual crime rate is incidental.

Two things that strongly support this are stranger kidnapping and domestic terrorism. Among possibilities that might take loved ones away from us, these are about the least likely.

> Feelings of safety are moreso a product of the media

The media reports distant tragedies as if they occurred in our own communities, leading the public to carry a sense of threat that doesn't reflect reality. However, the media is parroting (and amplifying) the messages that are given to it from LEO, Gov's and other official channels.

The media's shortfall is to trust Gov/LEO messaging, without spending the few moments of analysis to vet it's integrity.

yes there are some Western philosophical foundations which treat organisation as bottom-up at certain levels of abstraction - Adam Smith on the economic level, Locke and Hobbes on the sociopolitical level, and so on. I think we have a good cultural understanding of human beings as existing in a network. But we don't consistently apply this perspective. For example:

- individualism treats individuals as good or bad, successful or unsuccessful based on their outcomes without regard for the structural incentives around that person.

- we still categorically divide between "life" and "not-life", treating life (and especially consciousness) as a conundrum and "not-life" as dead matter. We try our best not to look at the fuzzy edges between life and not-life. I would argue that this is a hang-over from Abrahamic dualism (the spiritual inhabiting the material), and that there is no distinction but instead a continuum from less-organised to more-organised. We do the same as the above with many other issues of category.

- Identity isn't concrete in bottom-up organisation. The Ship of Theseus, for example, is not a paradox when you take a bottom-up metaphysical approach. The illusion of identity is only propagation of a pattern.

TL;DR - yes, we do have some ideas around bottom-up organisation, but they're not applied consistently or across the board.

If you think all this sounds like woo, then you are at least in agreement that these ideas are not Western modernist canon.
The baryon to photon number density in the early universe plays a role during big bang nucleosynthesis as well as baryon acoustic oscillations, imprinted on the microwave background. We know that the total energy density must be (close to) the critical density (again from CMB measurements).

That’s not how divorce works. It’s not an end if you have kids. It’s the beginning of something different. But you’re still tied together. So now you have twice the expenses, half the time with the kids who now need you more than ever, more reason to fight with each other, and possibly even more resentment, all compounded by your own personal feelings of loss and failure. Yay, what a win for everyone involved.

Also, realize that people don’t generally get to a divorce by talking things out and figuring divorce is the only option. Even if they do talk things out it’s usually only after divorce is inevitable.
Even moreso with multiple sons close in age. Thinking about the trouble my brothers and I caused on our own versus in groups versus all together, there seems to be a superlinear growth in the amount of trouble a group of boys can cause.
One factor missed in other answers, mentioned in the letter, is that the ends are made from thicker stock than the cylinder, and increase in thickness as diameter increases. The scrap ratio of the ends doesn't change in area, but the volume of scrap per can does.

What's interesting is how the letter's scrap argument has aged - take a look at cans in common household sizes today. Most are only capped on one end. The cylinder and opposite end are a single deep drawn [0] unit. That can body will consume a round portion of material and definitely increases overall scrap ratio over old double-capped cans.

It seems rational to want to exist to day N+1 if you presume there's any chance that any present-day problems you have will be resolvable. Suffering may be intolerable, of course, but hope that it may one day end while still remaining alive would be a strong force in a world where life can be indefinitely extended.
In reality daughters are getting all these ideas about how to behave from their friends and from contemporary popular culture.

So actually what is happening is a struggle between parental advice, and outsider influence.

Now I find it interesting how you immediately make the jump and accuse the father (and it's also interesting that you single out the father) to be the bad guy.
Dare I say outsiders don't give a shit about the daughter and their influence over her is very likely much more negative?
This seems to me like a rare "natural experiment" where correlation implies causality. Because whether a child is a son or daughter is essentially random, it's hard to imagine a confounding factor causing both daughters and divorce.
This sort of writing is a wonderful departure from the traditional and is underrepresented in programming books. There are a few other examples that I know of which could be considered similar, but don't focus as heavily on the illustrative approach show here. Some works for comparison would be; Land of Lisp, Realm of Racket, Clojure for the Brave and True, Learn you a Haskell for Great Good!, Learn you some Erlang for Great Good!, and Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby. There may be more I am not aware of. On the topic of cats programming there is also JavaScript for Cats, which is great too.

We’ve worked that bit out. Our generation gets to be methuselahs, and subsequent generations get to serve us.

For this to work, we need to continuously outlaw any affordable anti-aging therapies.

Living approximately until the heat death of the universe (which is the only real consequence of the second law) is a bit different than living for a few more decades, I'd say.
I’d love to read something that explores why social media affects females more than males, and also a first person perspective of the social pressures of young females and how much wiggle room they actually have to remain socially accepted and active whilst avoiding pressures.

I think a lot comes down to body image of females in society. Something as simple as the fact that females are expected to wear makeup and men do not I think can explain a lot. The vast number of activities that surround makeup create an unhealthy obsession with vanity. It’s the raw amount of time spent looking at one’s self and comparing against others. This then propagates throughout life and results in an unwinnable battle against ageing that only leads to unhappiness. A typical female social media stream contains a huge amount of beauty-related content of which a male’s does not.

There are just certain interests you have to have to blend into social groups that are dramatically different for men and women.

Although recently men are starting to become more vain and I hear a lot of marketing crap like “men should take more care looking after their skin/appearance” - the metrosexual thing - which I think is going down a bad path. We need less social pressures for young people...but of course there is a huge monetary incentive to get men hooked on skin care etc.
The VPN providers promise not to keep logs. They go to different lengths to prove this claim to you.

If you do believe that, it's more private. If you don't, they still might have access to that data. Otherwise AWS or someone else will.

However, even so it will be more difficult for third parties to track you since you will generally not be assigned a dedicated IP address. You are probably NATed with a bunch of other customers from all over the world. If you set up a VPN in a VPS you'll most likely have a permanent public IP.

Personally, I believe that Mullvad is truthful about its privacy claims, but I'm not a customer.
No, it doesn't. 160 bits of key space to search. Unless you come up with some quantum breakthrough, it's impossible tp do in our universe in reasonable time.
I think most people when they truly think of what it would mean to live forever, it is more scary than comforting.
Most diseases disproportionately affect the old. It stands to reason that if you cure ageing, most diseases will become less common also.
It’s not really for reforming criminals into a normal person, that would require a rehabilitative system purposefully optimizing for lower recidivism rates.

What we have is a vengeful, punishment oriented prison system that is designed to bludgeon people for not fitting in, and also incidentally using them for slave labor.
> If I’m currently faced with the choices of taking a homemade vaccine or not taking a homemade vaccine, the latter is clearly the less dangerous course of action. I think that’s the spirit of the comment to which we were all replying, and it’s the actual choice being discussed.

Well, the actual content of the comment we’re all replying to is a mix of “it’s impossible for a non-expert to come up with an idea that’s worth experimenting with for anyone” and haughty derision about Rationalism and what the commenter perceives as the “hubris” that goes along with that.

What the original comment misses is that the people who came up with this protocol are not pitching it as anything other than an experiment for themselves and maybe others who are interested — they make no safety claims, no claims about the real vaccines, no claims that it’s a good idea, etc., and no one is arguing that taking a homemade vaccine is good or better than the real vaccines or other precautions, which seems to be the strawman you’re debating in your post.

That said, historically, a significant number of vaccines were demonstrated to work initially by the inventors trying them on themselves and then challenging themselves with live virus.

The fact that at it’s not a good idea for the average person to try a homemade vaccine (and to be clear: we are 100% in agreement here) does not imply that the original radvac authors here should not have put together their protocol.

The world is more dangerous in many ways for women. Is a father seeking to therefore protect a daughter differently than a son sexist? There are certainly things that a father would do only with a son for the same reasons.
ISPs monitor and modify your internet traffic in America (perhaps that's different in the UK?). My American ISP absolutely spies on me. So rather than accept that guarantee, I can use a VPN like Mullvad who at least promise not to do this, and whose entire business relies on keeping that promise.
The privacy argument simply haven't stood the test of time. However, the first reason is still valid: some companies think they can segregate people based on their IP address, and VPNs offer a simple solution to that - even if it often doesn't work, and in many cases becomes a mouse-and-cat game with the service provider.

Resolving problems related to ageing by addressing the telomere problem is a double edged sword, because no diminishing telomeres means much more cancer. In order to defeat ageing we also have to defeat cancer.
Hey!
So to touch on a couple of points: Scott Piper is probably one of the most known AWS sec experts, check out his websites. https://summitroute.com/blog/

"Any approaches to formally proving that IAM roles and permissions are secure would be greatly appreciated! " Are you looking for a way to see that you have set up your policies correctly?
Yes, of course :) It reads "To deal with concurrency issues, you may be tempted to experiment with multiple threads. Do not do this. You will end up with some regrettable racing conditions and then a terrible tangle."
It's also clear meaning light passes through this baryonic matter.

My question is, how do we know that the "dark matter" we assume to be littered all over the universe isn't just clear baryonic matter?

I know that we infer the existence of dark matter through gravity so how do we know that this dark matter isn't just "clear" baryonic matter?

Any astronomers care to share their expertise?
While true — in addition to your point about remarriage, I’ve met a couple who legally split because same sex marriage didn’t exist at the time and one of them was trans — you should probably show the frequency rather than existence of such groups.
Sure, there are many availlable, but it adds cost. If you don't want the hassle of swapping mainboards the 4790k is a drop in replacement that gives you 4-4,4GHz out of the box.

I thought I was explicit in my criticism of “notation only” explanations, but perhaps a positive example would be more explicit.

https://github.com/barbagroup/CFDPython

This repo explains computational fluid dynamics (an example of a complex system!) from “what is a python function” to “2d Navier stokes”.

It shows the work of how to discretize ‘latex beautified’ notation, shows the relationship between the computations and the notation, and even explains when their LaTex strays from “conventional use of notation” and why.

The authors even throw in traditional handwritten board lecture videos if that helps you learn better.

I've used NordVPN previously and thought they were fine as a VPN service. In fact I went back to use them earlier today before seeing this submission. But yeah, on reflection, they really do go out of their way to scare/screw their customers into auto-renewing with various dark patterns. So maybe next time round I'll check out something less evil.

I use a VPN for geo blocked free-to-air sport(6 nations <3) from my home country so VPNs work well for my needs. Ironically it's not even possible to pay for access to view the sport in a legitimate way since everything is region locked.
Yes, you could tell this letter was very dated and not just from the type. I don't think you'd get a response like this at all these days (if at all).

Maybe if the brand hooked into it as a marketing effort they might publish a response all over their socials, but you'd certainly not a private reply.
