I’ve found that ipsec/ike based VPNs are easily blocked and often unusable at airports, businesses, and with mobile data — pretty much every situation where you would want a VPN. However OpenVPN based protocols running over port 443 seem to magically work everywhere. I started testing Wireguard over ports 53 and 123 right before the pandemic so I can’t say as much regarding that one but I imagine it will have the same qualities as OpenVPN once http/3 becomes mainline and UDP traffic to port 443 becomes common.

I was thrilled to see that ProtonVPN recently added openvpn over tcp as an option — I really wanted to give them money but a vpn that only works on networks I control has limited utility. Express VPN has offered openvpn over tcp for a while and they have been my go-to because it worked everywhere.
Your phrasing makes it sound like the GIL is a net-negative, and thats just false.
There is a tiny subset of applications that would benefit from its removal, everyone else would have their performance reduced by ~40% (last attempt to remove it ended with a 40% performance penalty).

the project is generally open to PR to remove it as long as the performance doesn't suffer.

and i'll be honest: if you're writing code thats so performance critical that you're worrying about the GIL... why the hell do you use python in the first place? use at least a compiled language.
The library example is a great one. They used to run some flavour of TSS / UNIX -- I want to say "Bullfrog" or "Bulldog" but I know that's not right -- and it was childs play to operate them. Literally in fact, since they'd have those same systems in schools too.

Then in the mid to late 90s the UK libraries near me switched to Windows 95 + Internet Explorer 4 (albeit massively locked down) and everything was slow. You could visibly see the page load. It would crash often. But above all else, it wasn't any more intuitive than the TUIs of green screens.

I get GUIs are better for home computing interfaces but I never understood why they replaced TUIs in fields where the primary focus is text input. eg call centres and data entry teams, those old green screens were much easier and quicker for agents to use than any of the web forms that replaced them.

I always put it down to lazy development. It's easier to build website and host it on Apache/NGINX than it is to build a green screen and deal with hardening remote terminal access.

An interesting idea I've seen for developers is setting up a virtual camera in obs and have overlays like time of day and weather on your screen while on camera.

I haven't found a way to do desktop screen record while having a different scene setup to show my camera + overlay as a virtual camera on obs. If anyone knows if it's possible, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Has it occurred to you that the statistics for Wales only might not be telling the same story? How were the hospitals in England and Scotland? Considering it would be impossible to force a quarantine between them, a global UK policy wasn't a ludicrous idea. Furthermore, the point of the restrictions was to stop the exponential growth before hospitals were overwhelmed.

At least for your first point : Security by obfuscation is not security. Counting on « the user not realizing » that your app has a massive security hole is not security.

For the second point, I would say that SQLite has a massive attack surface, it would be very difficult to ensure that that technique can’t lead to an exploit of some form.

If you use the latest version, you can specify the "mining mode" when you run "loda setup". The default is "client" mode. If you found programs there are various way to find it out:

- You will see ALERT logging messages like "First program for..."
- The found programs will be written to $HOME/loda/programs/local
- In client mode, the files will be also sent to a central server and integrated into the main repository after some days.
- We also use a Slack workspace where you can see all new programs. Let me know if you want to join it. https://loda-lang.slack.com/
Imagine the live map of the money-flow around the research/review/publishing/usage. It could give us some hints.

> Slowly facebook is learning that it needs to show me pictures of my friend's kids

You seem to be misunderstanding Facebook's goals. They don't care about showing you pictures of your friend's kids. They are using your friend's content to dangle a carrot in front of you to keep you clicking on what they want you to click on. If you've stopped clicking on ads and promoted posts, it's because they haven't yet learned what they need to show to you keep you clicking, but they will! They're dedicating all of their engineering efforts to keep people clicking.

I had a horrible experience with Mercury bank. I’m a US citizen, but living in a foreign country (which is a US ally…). Mercury had no problem opening my account - but then a few months later froze my account for a week with no heads up. All my transactions just suddenly stopped working, no explanation. Support was completely unhelpful. Eventually they closed my account because of my geolocation and let me transfer the $ that was held out, but only after serious harm to the credibility of my business (late invoices, having to explain to partners that my bank account was frozen - resulting in loss of a partnership that would have resulted in a few hundred K in revenue).

Now I use a major US bank and could not be happier. Startup banks are a huge risk to business, I will never use one again.

> "shortage" just means "I don't want to pay market rate"

I've read this repeatedly, and it makes sense at face value, but at some point don't some activities just have to be dropped, since there is a finite amount of labor to go around?

edit: upon further thought, there is probably a pool of labor available currently on unemployment benefits that could be activated with sufficiently high wages, but even that is not infinite.
All equilibrium is temporary and imperfect. In the complete absence of external influences (which in the extreme in practice is impossible) ecosystems do indeed reach something approaching equilibrium, certainly with fluctuations in predators and prey, but no violent, sudden disruptions.

There's a whole genre of YouTube videos made by hobbyists who establish ecosystems in glass jars and seal them for many years.

>What is your evidence that the tech "becomes safer with time"?

Sorry but this just comes off as an extremely ignorant comment. Modern reactor designs (gen3/gen4) are very different from the old Chernobyl/Fukushima reactors, have more safety features and often are passively safe in case of meltdown or coolant loss.

It also allows the company to plan eventual absence of an employee, which is important to keep things running.

Still, a company as large as Amazon has no excuse for this behavior in my opinion.
Just like anything else unfortunately. Similarly, a good scientific calculator in the hands of an engineer is an indispensable tool, but to the general public, it's a confusing mess.

The early internet was designed by and for the people who knew what they were looking for and simply needed the tools to find it.
Just encourage people to upload their paper to an open access archive like arXiv first. Very few journals disallow this, it's just that authors are either too lazy or just don't want to make their paper publicly available.
Fukushima was old, and by 2008 the IAEA was warning them that the plant could have serious issues during an earthquake/tsunami.
Are you questioning random samples? Seriously? The notion of representativeness is flawed and often does not work well in practice, i.e. it often leads to biased estimates. Unless there is a good reason for not doing a random sample (mostly for economic considerations), simple random samples are fine.

The main issue is that currently there's no way around publishing at the established journals and conferences, because of the reputation they've built up. Funding and career advancement hinge on publications in these venues. If we accept that publishers don't offer much at all in return for the publication fees/library subscription costs (barely any editing, reviewers work pro bono, hosting PDFs is very cheap nowadays), the main issue is one of "reputation transfer".

One way to cut out the middle man would be to convince journal editors to run sibling journals alongside the existing journals, so for each "Transactions on XYZ" there would be an "Open Transactions on XYZ" (as close in title as is legal). Importantly, each sibling journal would be run by the exact same academics (who are doing the real work on tax money anyway), and according to the same process as the original journal, just without involvement from a traditional publisher. PDFs would be hosted on a site like arXiv. The goal would be that submitting to the open "sibling" would be the obvious rational choice (same people, same decision-making, no fees, open access), which in time even the funding agencies and tenure committees would have to acknowledge.
> What was a lot harder were the toxic users that just stuck around. Not doing anything bad enough to necessarily warrant a permanent ban, but just a constant stream of shitty behavior. Especially sometimes when the most toxic users were also some of the most popular users.

This is the problem with community guidelines being the be-all and end-all. Hard rules are great for catching insults or slurs. They're not so great for dealing with actual abuse or inciting very bad ideas.

I think Innuendo Studios' video on this problem is one of the best explanations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P55t6eryY3g

There's a reason white supremacists and literal nazis (yes, really with the salutes, genocide fantasies, Jewish conspiracy theory and all) have shifted from using obvious language to dogwhistles and "just asking questions". Erosion is a much more powerful force than a few direct impacts.

If you want to moderate a community, you need to have a plan for dealing with toxic individuals, not just language. We tend to imagine "hackers" and (foul-mouthed) "trolls" but I find Molly's archetypes a lot more though-provoking: https://twitter.com/mollyclare/status/1254886822779502593?la...

I think community moderation is a problem we tend to run into the Dunning-Kruger effect with because it seems like something we have an intuitive understanding of even if we have zero experience actually doing it and having ever learned what works and what doesn't.
Requests from law enforcement are the only ones they can reject. NSA doesn’t ask. And you won’t know, thanks to gag orders and secret courts.

As someone with two kids, I'm more interested in the R1S, and I'm confused why they're not leading with the SUV, which seems to be a less competitive market segment. The Model X is the lone electric SUV, that I'm aware of, but it has a number of features that don't appeal to the average American buyer (the stupid doors, over-use of touch screens, etc.). The R1T will compete with the F-150 lightning and Cybertruck.
That’s one downside of static typing.

> But by definition it hasn't looked at non-randomised trials, or pragmatic trials (i.e. under "real world" conditions) or circumstances where a "pure placebo" is impossible or unethical (e.g. suicide prevention programs, pregnancy termination procedures, etc).

They looked at quality studies, not bad studies that fail to control for all the confounding factors, yes.

> This is normal and we shouldn't seek to deny it, or we risk wasting resources on meticulously designed interventions that work well in tightly controlled lab conditions but fail horribly in the real world.

Randomized controlled clinical trials do happen in the real world, not in the lab, at least in general. They are the best possible way to study these effects, since real sick people in real hospitals are administered real/placebo medicine by real healthcare professionals. The data is collected by these professionals, who do not know whether they are administering placebo or real medicine.

And what we see in these conditions is what we expect a priori: for some conditions (those that are known to be semi-consciously controlled), there are real improvements from the placebo effects, for others only the real medicine has any effect at all.

I really don't understand what your point is. You claim that you believe that modern medicine works, but you also claim it "often" works for reasons that we don't understand - are you implying most modern medicine is placebo? If so, why is it improving overall?
i agree with this guy!!
The CCP and Xi are obsessed with planning everything, and that includes growing the population. Unplanned and especially unwanted pregnancies disrupt lives and social order. I don’t think there’s anything contradictory about encouraging having children, but also trying to make sure that happens within planned and orderly family situations.
If my country spent trillions of dollars on weapons and still felt the need to resort to this kind of tactics to make their enemies feel underpowered then I'd feel even more disappointed with how my tax dollars are spent. I expect North Korea or Hamas to engage in this rather than the US.

In general, we can validate only up to a finite number of terms. Yes, there are incorrect programs, because for some sequences there are just too few terms, or it is hard to distinguish the sequence from others.

These are the current requirements:
- the OEIS sequence must have at least 10 terms
- the first 100 terms must match (if it has so many terms)
- if it has more than 100 terms, we check up to 2000 terms. If the program yields a different term, it is discarded. It is accepted if the program can't be evaluated for n>100 because the maximum number of steps exceeded or the number get too big.
I don't know exactly how the game goes. I'm sure there is no one single solution to it.

If China detected nuclear capable missiles heading toward their country then they would have to consider the possibility their second strike capability is not a sufficient deterrent (including being compromised in various ways such as their subs being all located) so there seems like a large incentive to retaliate before missiles land.

Would there be enough time for them to watch and wait it out and see if it approached their missile installations? If it was a very stealthy missile, could they be sure they had detected them all?
Reap the benefits? Immigration is a net gain overall, we're basically taxing ourselves at the moment with arbitrary immigration controls.
Also: there's no Internet in random buildings, underpasses, corridors - even in the middle of a metropolis.

For example, a grocery market near me somehow manages to attenuate cellular signals so badly there's no mobile connection more than 3 meters inside. Meaning no Internet when I walk between shelves, and no Internet when I stand in a queue for 10 minutes.

(Sure, the building has plenty of wired and wireless Internet connections in it, but I'm not allowed to use any of them.)

There's also the thorny question of why are we trying to house these people in the ~most expensive city in the country? On one hand, we could house several times more in Bakersfield, but on the other, exporting homeless to cheaper places is its own moral dilemma. We also can't induce demand by treating the homeless particularly better than the rest of the country.
> Say, have you noticed how a lot of "news" sites these days have a lot of articles that seem like they're generated by AI? Have you also noticed how most of the media feels empty and that investigative journalists are vanishing and often even being injured or killed?

Gasoline would run out in about 50 years, but we have been wrong about this prediction so many times over, that it probably last forever. We would burn the gasoline to power anyway to fuel the electric car, so it is not an issue at all.
We would switch to synthetic methanol, that can be produced very cheaply with CO2, water and energy. Bio fuels have the disadvantage of actually burning potential food supply, Haiti had to suffer great hunger because of that once and we should not repeat it. We may will and it would be very bad.

Without electrified cars, much less resources would be required to produce batteries and electric infrastructure. We would produce less harmful waste in the long run.

The battery electrified car does not have a better ecological footprint, as of now. It only has the potential to perform better, if we would use more renewables and less toxic and polluting processes... Which we also probably won't, cause we like our stuff cheap.

So nothing much will happen, but there is a big chance that not electricfying the car could be better for the environment and the climate. If we would act smart about it.

It is not checked in France, ever, at all, and TFA is about French TGV.

It is true that it is "checked" in Spain; I experienced it this summer while going from Sevilla to Cordoba. However the check is (in my experience) quite superficial; also, as it creates long lines of people that get upset that they may miss their train, it is expedited and many things do not in fact pass through the X-ray machine. And finally, it is not checked on all trains; we were checked from Sevilla to Cordoba (the train was going all the way up to Barcelona) but there were no checks on the return leg.

So, while it would be trivial to bring bad things aboard a train in France, it seems that it wouldn't be difficult in Spain either.
