For the first usecase, the #1 problem in privacy security is that databases get leaked at some point in the future. Some VPN's has been caught logging way to much, and then either having to disclose it or have it leaked. Three hops with with no logs with my name and banking information, and only a gate node that has an ip address is fine enough for privacy sensitive visits to regular (legal) websites.

For 2), Tor browser is a single executable that I can just start and run on any computer, even through a remote control if I want to very the network through a customers own computer. No credentials, no payments, no waiting.

Don't know enough about nordvpn for 3).

4) Hidden services is tor only.

5) Nordvpn would work fine for that.

Different security threat need different security measures. The biggest risk to my own security is not that someone mitm my tor connection because I do not use tor for services which I have an account with, and would never do banking on a tor connection. My bank can more or less find what my network is anyway by looking at my transaction and which of those is an ISP. Leaks from companies however seems so common that one get posted here on HN every month, and haveibeenpawned feel more relevant today than antivirus.
Colonial Hack Can’t Be Just Another Wake-Up Call
Educating people on available options at different companies is crucial. Everyone should know what companies pay well and what is required to join them.

However, we need to stop shaming people for having different career priorities than our own, or assuming that people are only making these choices out of poor judgment. As the parent comment explained, some people really do prefer to engage in non-FAANG career paths for various reasons. For many, it's as simple as not being willing or able to relocate to a location with a FAANG office, as few FAANG companies offer remote positions even after COVID.

What boon do you see in it?
Maybe it doesn't get prioritized until it's important. I know PG upgrades are pretty straightforward, but sometimes people don't want to touch something running well.

That said, given the performance implications, if someone wants to use PG as a warehouse upgrading to 12 is a no-brainer.

This is ultimately a supply and demand issue. Google pays high salaries because they have to in order to hire the talent they want. Game devs apparently do not have to, because they are able to fill their roles for lower salaries. Don't pretend like all tech companies wouldn't love to lower dev salaries, they just can't because they wouldn't be able to hire.

Game companies apparently have a meaningful differentiator, which is that working in a gaming context is something people actually value and are willing to give up potential compensation for. This seems especially true at the junior level, which depresses junior salaries relative to other tech companies.

Also, comparing compensation against US FAANG hiring is beyond insane. They pay ridiculous salaries due to the extremely limited and competitive market for hires that meet their caliber. This has driven up salaries, but should NOT be treated as an indicator for what "reasonable" pay looks like across the entire industry.

besides, a misdemeanor & driving w/ a suspended license hardly confirms that "horrible things" have been done to other people. I'm sure even the most casual observer of the US has some awareness of the vast numbers in jail for non-violent drug offenses.

Ask HN: Why does Wikipedia block VPNs?
When I try to edit a Wikipedia article while on a VPN (ex: ProtonVPN) or even a VPS server (ex: DigitalOcean droplet), it says "Editing is blocked due to proxy/VPN."

I understand that many spammers must use VPNs, but what about legitimate uses of VPN services? Seeing all the edits that have come from a single IP address can be quite privacy invasive.
yes - one of the reasons behind Dragonfly conception was that it's hard to write high-performant code for all architectures at the same time. Ditching ARM64 and others means much cleaner codebase and less effort to maintain all of this.
The concern here isn't state actors; just lowly exit node operators looking to skeeze a buck. Check the other comments for how it's actually done.

More importantly, I think your fear about state actors abusing trusted root certificates is unfounded. As soon as a malicious cert is found, the issuing root cert will be nuked from orbit by all the major browser vendors. It's not a viable option for state actors, especially when they have much better options (like the NSA tapping Google's internal networks, for example).
The same is true for a marine climbing a boarding ladder, net, or rope, or fast roping down from a helicopter (which would also be vulnerable to gunfire). This is an alternative to some of those options.

ME TOO. I pretty much only read classics. They are just so philosophically complex! I wish that we read now, like we read then. But I suppose television and video content are an art in their own way, and I could adapt my writing preferences to the screen. But I just have no interest there. Perhaps I'm just stuck in another century!
What I want to see happen is for a league to experiment with data driven rules that encode how the game should be played. For example, a dynamically altered 3-point value that ensures the expected value for different plays are equal. For example, some days, the 3-point will be worth 2.7 and other days 3.1 depending on league data. It would be awesome to see multiple strategies be optimal and reward teams that are good at multiple strategies as they can adjust their play style for whatever the data derived rules are.

In how far are your investments "passive"? What does "conservative" mean?

I mean, with ETFs I'd trust that eventually they will increase in value (again) but given the high volatility of cryptocurrencies, I'd probably be selling and re-investing at a much higher frequency.

This brings backs memories... I still used FreeBSD by then, and I remember that the 5.x branch really had problems and the drama that surrounded it in the community.

I started using FreeBSD(4.3 or 4.4) in the Uni out of curiosity, but kept it for the massive improvement in performance and stability. Loads that brought Linux to its knees(>10) were handled easily by FreeBSD.

The documentation was also superb... the only drawback was having to compile everything, never got used to it.

Ask HN: LinkedIn Pyramid Scheme?
I am being contacted by a lot of random people on LinkedIn who claim they want to help me build assets so that I don't have to depend on my paycheque. All of them want to set up a zoom call to develop "trust and transaparency". All of them will also vehemently deny writing their proposal to build assets on LinkedIn. My spidy sense tells me this is some kind of a pyramid scheme. Does anyone happen to know what this is about? I am genuinely curious as to what this is!
In the closed ones I lived before they pay for most stuff. I don't remember exactly where is the line (but is part of the agreements and part of the law what they can do. For example, some set a end-time for loud parties)
Equities and ETFs already give you access to those other mechanisms. For example, you can get exposure to real estate through REITs
I'd agree that the fact-checking infrastructure is not well-adapted for COVID, or any kind of rapidly developing situation where the facts are not entirely clear.

As for Rosenberg, you're focusing on the terrorism and ignoring the convicted. She was not convicted of terrorism, or even of bombing buildings, but of explosives possession. The word "convicted" has to mean something. I believe that O.J. Simpson is a murderer, but calling him a "convicted murderer" would be false. If the claim was "convicted of felonies due to her involvement with a terrorist organization", there would be a much better case for "true."
TBH a lot of people don't have that many choices. I mean if a dream company gives me an offer with a reasonable salary, I'd jump for it without hesitation. A lot of people are OK with median salary.
I suspect that this is to discourage malicious edits.
What would be great is some way to codify all this advice. Eg run PG in a Data Warehouse mode. Databases are too big and too configurable and without specialist DBAs any more most people are just guessing what works best.
I would complain more, except I have never ever gotten a useful bit of information out of the Event Log. Not once. It's so laughably useless I'm surprised anybody even bothers anymore. Microsoft certainly doesn't.

When applications on Windows fail they never think to generate an event, not even for something as simple as a "permission denied attempting to open file 'c:\blah'". Instead it's chock full of useless noise from daemons that activate every 2 seconds to poll something and then log that everything is still ok.
Yeah, I think using Snowflake or BigQuery or something is ultimately the better move. But sometimes folks use what they know (what they're comfortable managing, tuning, deploying, whatever).

In my own testing PG performed very similarly to a 'real' warehouse. It's hard to measure because I didn't have the same datasets across several warehouses. Maybe in the future I'll try running something against a few to see.

I think that's why the airtags make noise after being separated from their base for too long.

The problem is that you can't make a viable system to distinguish stalking from legitimate behavior. I have Tile trackers on various objects that I can't imagine ever taking all of them with me--inevitably that means some will be away from the system for the duration of such a trip. If one starts beeping in an empty house that simply means a dead battery, but what if someone else lived here?

On the flip side, you're going to end up "stalked" by the devices of anyone you take a long enough trip with.

Anti-stalking is theater.

I agree, except that I don't believe anywhere close to 10% of programmers working in the UK earn that much on salary. You're probably a senior at certain big name employers probably in London or possibly working at a FAANG or similar if you're making that as an employee today. Contracting and freelance work has a much higher ceiling if you're experienced, well connected and working in a high-demand field, but obviously that income is not directly comparable to salary because you have the downtime, overheads and loss of employment benefits to consider as well.
> If you remember the OLPC at all, you probably remember the hand crank. It was OLPC’s most striking technological innovation — and it was pure vaporware. Designers dropped the feature almost immediately after Negroponte’s announcement, because the winding process put stress on the laptop’s body and demanded energy that kids in very poor areas couldn’t spare. Every OLPC computer shipped with a standard power adapter.

I think kids everywhere have the energy to turn a hand crank. I mean they usually have the energy to play football. Very malnourished kids who can't turn a handcrank probably don't have the mental clarity to use a laptop for long either.

Maybe if the mechanically-cranked power system were separate from the laptop body it could have worked better?
> I.e. your share of healthcare for everyone instead of what you purchase in the US, which is approximately just healthcare for you

This is getting off-topic, but maybe surprisingly, Americans pay more to subsidize other people's healthcare than the average French taxpayer does, despite the American system not being universal. Some back-of-envelope numbers,

France: Total French healthcare spending in 2017 was $337 billion, of which 77%, or $259 billion, was publicly financed. [1]

U.S.: Total U.S. healthcare spending was $3.8 trillion in 2019, of which 45%, or $1.7 trillion, was publicly financed (29% federal, 16% state/local, 55% private). [2]

Adjusting for the two countries' population sizes, that puts publicly financed healthcare spending at about $3900 per capita in France, versus $5200 per person in the US. Basically the somewhat lower public share for the US (45% vs. 77%) is outweighed by costs being about twice as high.

> to the overhead of health insurance

Not really. The ACA (Obamacare) caps overhead and profits at either 15% or 20% depending on market (google "medical loss ratio").

The dirty secret is that too many doctors go into medicine for the wrong reasons (making money, instead of helping people), and collude to limit the number of new doctors created each year. The AMA is by far the most effective union in the US.
Thanks yea that's what I figured, it's all about finding that niche and going for it.
How are three type systems? The type annotations are part of the Python 3. You can use multiple libraries to analyze the types. There are also multiple static type analysis tools for C, and for other languages that have type definitions as part of the language. How is this an issue, what am I missing something?
What are the toxic qualities that are unique to FAANG?
This.

When you want to convince someone and win them over to your way of thinking, never ever lie, make your position out to be stronger than it really is, or treat them as anything less than an intelligent human being.

If you can't do that it is better to stay silent, because speaking is likely to have the exact opposite of the intended effect.

This applies to everything from parenting to political discussions.

This model assumes the publisher does nothing. At least if you buy a OReilly or Wiley book you know it will be a decent standard. Many ebooks are junk and its not always obvious which ones.
I’d guess any roughly sequentially keyed table ought get good insert performance. Think how common auto-increment is.

And being HTAP, timescale ought do better than a classic pure column store on upserts and non-appending inserts too.

Of course if your table is big and the keys are unordered you still might get excellent performance if your access pattern is read heavy.

Of course you can still mix in classic Postgres row-based tables etc. Timescale just gives you a column store choice for each table.
I agree with you that the benefits of static typing are sometimes greatly exaggerated. But I also think that using type hints and type checkers in Python isn't quite the same thing as static typing.

For starters, type checking can't actually guarantee you won't have type errors at run time. Because, unlike in a statically typed language, in Python, anyone can always choose to just not use type hinting. Whenever that happens, as far as the type checker is concerned, anything goes.

But type hints are very useful as hints. They help with editor tooling, which can make it easier to navigate an unfamiliar codebase. They provide extra information that makes the code easier to read. And they give me an opt-in form of type linting that allows me to set up regions of code where I don't have to take quite so much personal responsibility for ensuring that arguments are compatible with parameters. In short, it's not a correctness prover; it's an energy saver.
I'm the first to admit I have no clue about the French tax system, but a quick search finds this [1] that suggests there are both employer and employee paid taxes. Would I be right in assuming that the reported numbers are after the employer paid taxes and before the employee paid ones?

I’ve always wondered how much of a direct impact your self assessment actually has on your compensation adjustment.

I’m not sure why that soul would be the case... it’s whatever came out of the previous action? You’re doing list operations...always.

Nested list operations get convoluted fast, so I generally avoid them (break them up into separate iterations) but otherwise. The only thing I can remember complicating things is issues with type conversion, but the IDE usually tells you what’s up.

The loss of print debugging and useful debugger support is a pain but usually resolved by commenting out half the manipulations and printing immediately.

Otherwise IME it’s a lot simpler to see a series of independent operations on the total list, then it is to follow a for loop interacting with one element at a time.

But personally I switch between the two styles freely, depending on which one is “cleaner” so I likely naturally avoid the more convoluted/difficult cases.
> "do it for the love of the craft not money" is bullshit propaganda that only serves to keep labor costs low

It's not, it's simply reality.

When deciding where to work, people don't just myopically look at the $ amount on the salary and nothing else. The company reputation, industry, culture etc. all have intrinsic value.

That's why SpaceX and some game dev's studios can get away with lower salaries than the market rate, because working there in itself has value for some people.
And that's why Morgan Stanley and Facebook can't.

Good old supply and demand.
Holy mistype. In GP post I meant to type "good for the poor because they are in debt", which is what Lyn uncritically forwards in OP as a (to be fair common) argument.

"lower classes also have more debt which gets partially inflated away in inflationary environments, and..."

Also the wealthy benefit greatly from debt-based financial instruments (corporate bonds for the companies they run, leveraged trading, forex, options) even if they aren't in debt personally.
