I think the intended use case for ZeroTier is six Android phones and two Windows laptops connected to a same L2 with ~500kbps UL/DL, that has to be bulletproof, dumbproof and as close as possible to zero setup and nannying, even with Android phones constantly roaming between a Wi-Fi router in a car and Starbucks Wi-Fi and its own metered WWAN.

It's a very specialized solution, not a generic VPN. They do seem to care about security but they also probably prioritize zero setup/maintenance/service restart over it.

Like, you can post that two apks and that zip and a ZeroTier key on Discord, let that trusted pseudonymous guy to approve connection requests on ZT, tell people to clear cache and retry if it's not working, and that's all you have to do. WireGuard would take more effort to deal with.

dc: No, I've never been involved in that kind of activity, but came across ZT from a different direction it is useful for, and got what the app is about.
"Guns, Germs and Steel" has a very succinct take on the origins of this: while people are hunter-gatherers, everyone contributes to food and decision making, and the entire focus is on the immediate needs of the present.
As soon as agriculture is invented, people settle in one place, not everyone now needs to be involved in food production so there is a labour surplus and people can start to specialise in eg crafts (pottery, metallurgy).
This is the point at which civilisation can kick in, but it is also the point at which you get kings and priests, who are like the craft specialists in that they are fed by the community, but unlike the craft specialists they don't actually create anything useful in return. In my mind it's a form of parasitism that will inevitably spring up spontaneously once any human society reaches that point.
Except it is obviously true, and you can see in this very thread examples of policies that would reduce housing prices that people don't want to take. Zoning restrictions, quality requirements, bureaucracy all adds costs, and all of these are imposed by the government
"Returns a value, without crashing/throwing-an-exception" can be a good property to test, and that's essentially fuzzing.

This is especially useful for codebases with a lot of assertions (e.g. to capture relationships that are too awkward to rule out using type-checks)
Exactly! I found that a strict schedule goes out the window pretty quick with small children. What I try to do is have a few "anchor points" throughout the day - 11am is always lunch, 1 pm is nap time, 7:30 is bedtime. The rest of the day is pretty flexible.

In order to get work done, I try to package my workflow so the feedback loop is as tight as possible. For coding, that means small tasks, good test loop, easy to deploy. I try to do at least a little each day, even 15 minutes, just to prevent myself from forgetting how everything works.

It may not seem optimized, but I know the kids are quickly getting older and I'll both have more free time later and also miss spending lots of time with them when they were small!
From your web site I understand you're Mexican? What kind of attitudes about your nationality did you encounter in the UK?

(Man, you accuse the US of pervasive racism and you get flagged into fucking oblivion in this fucking racist-dominated shithole. I only mentioned it because I have a lot of experience with US racism toward Latinos, which is fucking pervasive, but none with UK racism.)
So they’ll log out, right?
Reading your linked post, it seems you are wrestling with how Nix works.

Nix is hard to learn. The concepts used are almost the same, but different. That's because it's solving slightly different problems than package managers currently do.

As the overriding example shows, the versions are pinned by hash and are stored in a file.
What about it is not maintainable or scalable?
> But the hatred and the fact that political parties actively participate and support that hatred sure sounds like fascism to me.

Fear and hatred are siblings. In this case, the fear is one of the migration waves cresting on a level unmanageable by Europe.

We could somehow (with a lot, lot of internal friction that put a strain on the intra-EU diplomacy) manage about two million immigrants in 2014-2021, but the potential for migration in our neighbourhood is orders of magnitude higher. Egypt alone could supply 50-60 million people in case of destabilization.

In such situation, deterrence seems to be a functional game strategy.
> The primary motivation of most creators is to make money.

Most creators/uploaders do not monetize their works. This is just the tiny minority that Youtube highlights to keep their business flowing. A lot of content is produced by amateurs and non-profits, and Youtube does them a huge disservice by displaying ads (which they don't benefit from), tracking their viewers, recommending bad-quality/outrageous content (eg. conspiracy videos), and copyright-striking their videos even when it is clear no law was violated (eg. fair use).

> Why would any creator spend all that time and money making content to give away for free? Do you give away your daily work for free?

I definitely would not give my work for free for companies to profit from, but i'm happy to engage in free labor for non-profits and for my peers. This is a well-known paradox in the libre culture/software, especially with non-copyleft licenses (eg. MIT) which enable a for-profit to siphon of volunteer work without ever contributing something back in return. See also: OpenSSL maintainership "scandal" back in the day.

> If Youtube paid $0/1000 views... the majority of the top 1000 creators would be gone overnight.

Would that be such a loss? Looks like these channels are just outrage/advertisement machine with very little content creation going on... at least form an outsider's perspective.
I actually used this to run Windows in a BOSCH emulator on my first smartphone - HTC TyTN II.
It was painfully slow and unusable for any practical purposes.
> The US isn't much better. They have a history of invading of destabilising the governments of countries they don't like.

This is whataboutism and has nothing to do with discussion on France/EU's stance of China.

Reading on you comments, are you living in the past? We are discussing current politics.

> Tell that to all the countries who tried to implement communist systems of government... and found their leaders shot or in jail.

That was happening 40 years ago in current EU countries, whats your point?!

> with their history of enforcing tariff-free markets on countries and flooding them with cheap US-made goods that wipe out domestic production leaving the countries in very dire straits

Again derailing conversation from China to USA

Edit: go ahead and keep downvoting me for literally pointing out logical fallacies
I will also point out that we are happy to wave the consent banner when it is convenient and hide it away when it is not. Where is consent in the workplace? In our economic system? Eldercare? Marketing? Data collection? Drone attacks? And on and on. We basically run our society on meme morality.
It’s a database, an analytics tool, a search engine and a spreadsheet. Sorry, I just felt like I was watching late night TV shopping.

As a product this makes some sense, but as with most new products, on-prem is ignored. We’re moving more customers off public cloud than we help launch new product on cloud offerings.

The current situation in the EU makes these SaaS offerings almost irrelevant. Companies and governments are very reluctant in picking any cloud services.
They're smart, sure, but nowhere near as intelligent as we are, and I'm not sure why you're pushing this narrative. It's really downplaying yourself.
Obvious growth hack thing - try to bypass the brains "this is spammy mail ad crap" by making you first think it's written by a person and not a printer, thus it should be important.
It's either drone delivery or DRMed cofee makers, Keurig-style. How else will you turn a perfectly good product into a service?
It's not that easy I'm afraid. Chinese products were great quality until ~50 years ago, when quantity over quality became a thing.
I wonder how the author manages to get so much discipline and focus in the early morning without even having eaten. I notice that right after I eat I am way more focused and energetic, I think more clearly.

Is this something genetic, or is it learned?
Funny story : I tried going fullscreen at the exact moment when he's showing his YouTube metrics which he blurred for legal reasons. But I thought it was an issue with the player which wasn't able to download the video at a sufficient quality. So I was like "yeah, it's crap, I can't see sh*t; YouTube's better".
In addition to the compute power, you also need som other things:

"An attacker would need to hijack the address for a peer that has been offline for 30 days or communicate only with other peers that do not have a cached identity for the hijacked address."
> someone with a background in magic was able to reach these sorts of heights

Per sibling comment, it doesn't seem surprisingly that someone willing the push the bounds of scientific knowledge also pushed the bounds of thought.

And ultimately, that's what experimental science is supposed to be about -- either the thing works or it doesn't. No consideration of the inventor's other qualities.

On the other, non-scientific hand, I would have been surprised if he wasn't rejected for a security clearance though!
I wouldn't be surprised if that already happens, and they're calculating a loss factor to 'environmental' circumstances. I wouldn't be surprised if they mass-produce these planes to a low price point because of the loss factor.
This is an issue with the instance which may not have enough bandwidth to serve the video. There's two mechanisms to counteract this:

- clients viewing a video will seed (share) it along, so as a video becomes more popular it becomes more widely available

- other instances can seed one another's video to help them reach a broader audience (geographically speaking)

I have no clue about how this instance is operated but it's a fair bet that it's not replicated by other instances (yet), and that it's operating from a network location that doesn't have very good connectivity with you.
There's an old joke about the USSR painting the moon red and the USA then writing "Coca-Cola" on it in retaliation. So I think the original poster wasn't entirely serious.
Many many means 512 in the article. But that's with lots of room for optimizations.
I think it's a proof-of-concept operation. Last thing I want is 5 minute old, bad coffee, left in the garden.

(Australians are generally very selective of their coffee, we like proper Italian style coffee. Melbourne (Aus/Vic) is quite proud that we're the only place where Starbucks went bust, gave up, and left - they tried but I think there's only one Starbucks left in the whole city, thankfully.)
False dichotomy; there's many ways to make coffee.
It doesn't help here, the characters are 孫子 in both cases. Their names are just as identical as George Washington and Denzel Washington.

It's not going to help much in general, because Chinese family names just aren't that diverse.
None of the other parties here are EU members.

Culture runs deep. France adores Vercingetorix, who surrendered to Julius Caesar after "releasing" all the women and children to die of starvation between the Roman and French lines at the Battle Of Alesia.

Since WWII, France has been a fickle ally to the US at best.
> Please imagine a schoolteacher going into a classroom on the first day of school and saying with a straight face to students "I am going to show you a video on how to cut off your leg" or something like that and then not explaining that it's a joke.

You seem to be confused. Where does "a video on how to cut off your leg" come into this? The tweet was about willingness to give up a leg to be able to access the tutorials. A more appropriate equivalent would be imagining a schoolteacher going into a classroom on the first day of school and saying with a straight face to students "I am going to show you a video you would gladly give up your right leg to see."

The price increases, the shoddy UX, the fact that it’s made itself irreplaceable. Yeah all these things make me dislike Figma. And yet, nothing comes close for easy/fast collab.
I'm not so sure about that. Stands to reason, AFAICS, that "MY freedoms (and screw yours)!" ideologically resonates more on the right than the left: The whole left-right dichotomy is one of ~ "my freedoms above all" vs "freedoms for all, balanced with responsibility for all".
This is a dishonest argument.
Parliament work is about making compromises. Between partners and enemies. Between Dreams and Realities. Party Program is vision, voting record is reality after the compromise.

We lost the capability to make and accept compromises.

The only one thing, that is truly additional relevant indicator: Are the parties/parliamentarian transparent and free of corruption/lobbyism.
A human would be quite capable of constructing a tool out of wire. Humans figured out water displacement too, and ravens have culture and pass their knowledge on to their young just like we do.

The interesting thing isn't exact measurements of intelligence, though, but rather the fact that intelligence has developed independently. We know that we and our fellow primates are amongst the smartest animals on the planet. The thing about ravens is that they prove we're not the only ones.
How much is a good espresso machine and also consider that any machine is potentially a bit of a faff if you rent and then move etc. Etc.

I have got a coffee delivered before but I usually only do it if I'm working and I can't spare the distraction-risk of walking to a store.
The USA rarely sells "new" stuff so allies get the product after all that shit has happened. France was overhauling a sub design for them (probably why it was years late and way over budget).
How would that work? Let's say the ruling party proposes a law that perfectly matches one of their promise, this law is rejected in the parliament. Then what?

Realistically, all promises are at best "we will try to".
If you're joking, do be aware that it's not very obvious.
The claim was that Tim Cook's salary is enough to pay for "every apple salary in new york"

Given that equating "salary" and "total compensation" is a reasonable interpretation, and by the context the talk was about front line apple store workers rather than high level developers, the figures add up (and then some)

I'm making no judgement on Cook's compensation or value, just confirming the numbers, but you seem to take that as a personal attack.
There's a pretty large difference between referring to someone by a name held by less than 2% of the population vs a title extended to closer to 100% of the relevant population. Identifying people by full name is far, far more informative than identifying them by surname alone.
AI adds a tool in the toolbox for artists, it will probably never replace human artists.
I'm hoping somebody is staying on top of this because if it gets to the point the business model will get threatened, there will be pressure to "mitigate" or "solve" the problem somehow. I'm hoping the solution will be to tell the business (Google, in this case, apparently) to go do something else.
>Sudden in the sense that in spring they discussed concretely what's going wrong and what is needed to fix it, and came out thinking everything is OK for Australia. While Australia was negotiating with the US and UK.

I saw no evidence of that. There was only reports of worsening relations.

>If growing costs and delays are the supposed issue, buying nuclear submarines of an unspecified design while having no nuclear facilities or know-how, with the scheduled date of arrival of the first nuclear sub is in 2040, is a very weird way of fixing it.

No nuclear facilities or know-how is a a problem that can now be finally fixed. 2040 gives us plenty of time, and really, its only 10 years later than what was expected.

>If Australia wanted a quick and cheap submarine class, they should have bought the Japanese proposal. If they wanted a nuclear one, they could have tendered for it and gotten a French proposal based on the Barracudas. But they did neither.

Yeah but come on. Comparing the french nuclear subs versus the US ones is apples an oranges. Only the US have the tech for sealed engines, and no need to refuel.
For Peertube specifically yes, if you're seeding it (opt-out if your browser supports it).

However, this concern is mitigated because Peertube uses open standards, so it's very easy to use various proxying services for privacy concerns. It's unlikely that any such 3rd party clients will ever get blocked.

Comparing to Youtube: a single malevolent company tracks everyone's actions for nefarious purposes, purposefully changes internal "protocol" regularly to break 3rd party clients (youtube-dl, Newpipe) and blocks scrapers and other archival systems.

Overall, Peertube has much more privacy-friendly capabilities than Youtube ever will have.
But then you have to get the coffee beans delivered, although snail mail would be fine I guess!
> Australia went from an ever-closer relationship with France to ditching them, unannounced.

This is a very disingenuous take on the issue, if not outright completely wrong, and it feels like you intentionally decided to feign ignorance regarding France's failures to deliver and even meet the contract's basic requirements.

The "no email before 11am" mirrors my approach, which is no email before noon, which in turn was inspired by Karl Friston, who I met a couple of times during a neuroscience masters at UCL:

"His greeting to the group is liable to be his first substantial utterance of the day, as Friston prefers not to speak with other human beings before noon. (At home, he will have conversed with his wife and three sons via an agreed-upon series of smiles and grunts.)"

(I should add for balance that a couple of colleagues that I know said he was a nightmare to work with in terms of getting things done on time though!)

The one this I disagree with in the article is the alarm clock. Much better to go to bed at a time where you'll wake up naturally roughly around the time you want to. (Presuming you're not the kind of person who'd naturally sleep for as long as you're left alone, in which perhaps there may be other things - caffeine intake, too much alcohol, eating badly etc. - that it might be worth focussing on first.)
The growth of the police and prison state in the US is a big reason behind the defund the police movement. While even the majority is starting to feel quite policed, it has always been felt more strongly in minority communities.
As a citizen of the UK, I'd argue that Reagan-style economics (which caused us to privatise a lot of our industry and public services in a such a way that it was effectively just a huge cash giveaway to private companies) and ridiculous copyright terms are our worst imports. You may be less effected by those kind of things in Central Europe though, and you could certainly argue, and you could certainly argue that these were our own stupidity rather than being enforced upon us.
In an adversarial system like the US has, if the claimant decides to drop the case, there is no case. You need something like a state's AG to get involved.

What we're talking about now is different. It's non-privacy without community. Humans function properly in small tribal groups. If the person invading your privacy is a faceless bureaucrat, then you're much more likely to be misjudged. That's the problem.

I think you're giving the humans far too much credit. Some humans, and most larval humans, are capable of doing that kind of thing. Most of them just imitate. After puberty, almost all of them just repeat their previously acquired behaviors except when imitating. Instead of reasoning, they just rehearse past memories and fictional scenarios, unable to distinguish reality from fiction. Most of them can't remember what they ate for lunch yesterday or the license plate of the car that passed two minutes ago. They engage in complex verbal behavior that's ultimately incoherent, to the point that often even severe senile dementia in a human goes undiagnosed until its victim is in a new situation where their previous mindless habits no longer apply.
> "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

Yeah, well, sorry, but I really couldn't see much of a stronger interpretation.

I mean, hey, was my take all that much more of "a weaker one that's easier to criticize" than:

>>> Make sure to block TLS connections on every network that you manage. You don't know what naughty things your users might be doing after all. You would not want to help a criminal, would you?

You could distribute the money raised as either tax cuts to income tax, or just as a flat dividend to every citizen. If a person owns an average house and pays $10k in tax, their dividend would return $10k - so no loss.

If they own 5 average houses and pay $10k per house in tax, they'd pay $50k and their dividend would return $10k, so would have to pay $40k more
There's still value in it if it's inoperable; the motor and battery are still worth enough to make it worthwhile, and I guess the frame can be repurposed too.

I mean look at cars; just taking the wheels or radio out is already worth the effort. The radio is less viable these days though, since they're built in so more difficult to remove, and there's a lockout if it's disconnected from power (for which you need a code).
Silly it has such complex instructions, instead of a script.
