I use (and really like!) Mullvad, but have never tried the app, preferring to use my existing OpenVPN clients with the profiles Mullvad provides.

This isn't because I have any reason to mistrust their app, but just because if I've already got a perfectly serviceable client on my device, why add another binary to do the same thing?

But I would be interested to hear, from folks who have used the app, what you like and don't like about it. In particular, I've had some headaches setting up split tunneling/proxying via OpenVPN - I was never all that good at its config language - and I'm wondering if the Mullvad app might make those easier to achieve.

Russia provides oil to other countries. When those countries don't have access to Russian oil, they have to buy more oil on the market. This means that they're bidding against the US and that prices go up.
Amazon set a min hourly wage of $15 in 2018 and has benefits like $100 worth of annual Amazon discounts. The federal minimum wage in 2022 is $7.25. Amazon probably pays a lot more than $15/hr in 2022. How is paying more than 2x min wage disrespectful to their employees?
Back in the 90s, gas station pump receipts still printed the full credit card number on them. Usually when you found one left behind, it was a corporate gas card that was useless.

But occasionally you'd find someone who left behind their Visa or Mastercard number.
Well phrased differently, laws around unions are strong but they are strong in how they limit the power of unions.
This reminds me of this recent book on high-dimensional analysis with low dimensional models: https://book-wright-ma.github.io/. It looks our brain is great at finding sparsity of information and compress it accordingly.
Very cool.

Do you have to pay for any of the data? I'd think that'd get expensive quickly.
Is this entirely true? I remember a lot of my work and stuff. If the work is a few months old it definitely is compressed but two weeks work is still fresh. I also remember every bit of my effort.

Thanks. Always looking for colleagues for this or that. If you mean for a paying gig, there might be work for a Common Lisper sometime soonish at my Day Job, but not right away (and the timing is a bit uncertain).
My story was being a 10 year old in the mid-90s and dialing up the Apogee BBS using a number displayed in some shareware game's splashscreen. Turns out that hour-long call to Garland Texas (from Toronto) resulted in a really hefty phone bill, which I was asked to help out with since I had a paper route at the time.
<tinfoil hat> I always got the impression that there has been a lot of cloud propaganda/astroturfing, even on HN.

I'm seeing more of these "on-prem infrastructure" posts, citing costs, efficiency, and cloud complexity. We run most of our infra on-prem, and have looked to moving a few bits and pieces to the cloud, but the math almost always works out to buying hardware. Meanwhile, I talk to some <cloud stack> friends, and their opex costs are astronomical for the traffic and size of their products.

The cloud is extremely convenient, and I would choose it if I were launching a new product, but past certain sizes and expenses I would start to do some math. It's not terribly difficult to run these cloud "shrinkwrapped" products (such as load balancers) on-prem. Things like object storage seem more difficult to me. I'm also hesitant to admin a database, they intimidate me :)
Maybe Airbyte if I understand what you're asking correctly.
+1 for Mulvad, it Just Works and they are a great service provider.

Which exit point are you using? How close is it to you? I only get about 5MBps no matter which node I use and have suspected ISP throttling, but haven't tested too much since 5MBps is enough to get by with; this might make a good way to gather more info.

It shows up as a proper 301 when I load up the URL in Firefox. The question is, how?
In fairness this seems more line a Google issue than a Zapier issue.

Can a government be responsible for inflation? Yes.

Is the government responsible for the inflation observed right now? That's a complex answer, of which current political adversaries of the executive branch leadership would love to pin solely on them.
That's unrealistic though, nearly everyone would be okay with their ideological enemies "sitting at home and doing their thing", including your ideological enemies themselves. I live in the Middle East and this attitude, translated nearly verbatim to Arabic, is a common stance on an issue like atheism or gay rights, "Oh, we are actually entirely ok with atheists|gays if they just shut up completely".

It never works because it's not symmetric, you want your enemies to shut up but not you, this is because you see yourself as the correct side, which might be either true or false, but the sure thing is that your enemies beg to disagree. The only thing that will make it work is brute force, but other than that it's just another way to say to your enemies "Just admit you're wrong and go to your room".
Yea, no.

A 301 (or 302) redirect means setting the status code header to 301 and providing a location header with the place to redirect to.
Last I checked GitHub doesn't allow any of this, or setting any other headers (like cache-control). To work around this, I've been putting cloudflare in front of my site which lets me use page rules to set redirects if necessary.

What is misinformation and who gets to decide? At one point we were told the covid vaccines worked and you wouldn't need to worry about getting covid. If you disagreed it was "disinformation". We now know that that is not true. I'd prefer to use my own brain to decide for myself.
The reason the person you're imagining is a one-trick-pony with no thoughts beyond claiming oppression is that you're the one imagining them that way. This isn't a real specific person, it's a caricature in your head of the worst traits of a few people, that's applied to a group many times larger.
> damaging their employers

How about corporations damaging unions?

> The common portrayal of unions as good and corporations as evil is over simplistic and often backwards

One has the workers who created the wealth keep the wealth they created, the other expropriates surplus labor time from workers, sending it off to the idle class heirs who inherited shares in the corporation.
We're optimizing to short-term economic damage. I suspect if COVID rolls through a dozen times, and gives just a few percent of the population brain fog on each pass, the long-term economic damage will be astronomical.
I used to be a better professional film critic, mostly festival movies.

movie critics do watch the best movies. eg on a festival with 100-250 movies they watch from 30 to 50 typically. from these 30-50 there are about 20 good movies, the best movies of the year. from these regular moviegoers watch 1-2. normal people do not watch the best but the worst with the biggest ad budget.

of course critics don't watch every trash movie which starts every week. from 5-8 filmstarts per week, they watch 1-3. these weeks more, around 3, because now we have the best weeks of the year, with last year's Cannes movies arriving. and then again late fall, with the best Oscar movies being pushed. but eg this year's Oscars had only 2 good movies overall.

Just prior to Sept 11, 2001, President GW Bush was considering a statement about reducing electricity “vampires”, all the little chargers and small-drain devices unused sitting in live outlets and power strips. Thanks in part to OBL, we got seriously distracted. Energy consumption can be nudged in small and big ways with only a trivial impact in “satisfaction”, though your media device manufacturers will be to blame for a bunch of apparent discomforts. Just takes being slightly mindful and giving a small care, which is way too much for most Americans. So jacking the price of energy up til it hurts is probably the only way to reduce usage.
Maybe it's a by-product of the broader trend towards distrust of experts?
Wait, where and in what circumstance are they portrayed as evil?

The main place I see them presented as backwards and unproductive is by common folk dealing with them and some business owners who also resent a lot of the inefficiency.

But ‘portrayed as evil’ seems to try to say that in the media and cinema, etc., they are portrayed as evil … that’s not my experience. My experience is on the ground common folk talk smack about them.

That said, if we get Unions to do the job of the Feds (FTC) and contribute to dragging them down via inefficiency a couple of notches allowing competition to viably compete, I'm all for it.
I suspect film might just be dead as an artistic medium that can be enjoyed by lots of people. I maybe go to a movie theatre once every couple of years these days, the rest of the time I watch things at home. It’s a hard ask to set aside two contiguous hours (or more!) to watch a film when there are so many good series or video games that demand less contiguous attention. People will rant about attention spans I guess but it’s really a matter of what quality of entertainment you can fit in with the rest of your life. If I watch a film in the evening that is pretty much the only thing I do with that evening; not so with other entertainment formats. The two hour film is also like the equivalent of a short story: there’s the mental barrier to entry of loading new characters and settings and world rules into your head, and so I find it more difficult to read anthologies of short stories than a novel of the same length.
I'm just going to add some anecdata for people to weight when they are taking this decision: The covid AZ booster gave me an ischemic stroke (Lacunar TIA, detected by MRI, confirmed by my Neurologist).

My GP got only one Pfizer vaccine and got myocarditis. She decided not to get any subsequent vaccines.

There's plenty of anecdata cases of people having bad significant reactions to the vaccines all over the internet. As they say, the probabilities are low, but if you happen to be like me, who believed in the statistics and get shafted... well probabilities are meaningless to me now.
> Sympathy / Support strikes by neighboring unions are not legal for example.

I don't understand why union members just don't break the law and strike anyway.

A lot of the protests during the Civil Rights struggle in America were illegal (and were met with lethal force, dogs, firehoses, etc..) yet the people still protested... and prevailed.
Discord bots, while wayyy more of a walled garden, brought me a lot of joy from the combination of short feedback loop (very easy to make bots do relatively complex things) and large userbase of more-tech-savyy-than-average users

I hooked up OpenAI into my bot to allow GPT-3 like prompting in the servers I'm in; created a way to search for youtube videos and play them in a voice channel, and other dumb, fun things.

Making it scale seems like it would be doable, but for now I'm keeping it to the servers I'm active in
Cynically, I would say there's no incentive. FB's real customer is the advertiser, for whom the platform is a tax. I don't think anyone advertises on FB because they want to, more because they feel they have to. These kind of businesses don't need to improve things for either the real customer or the end user.

If FB were an honest and ethical company, it would probably have to vastly change its business model and/or go out of business. Instead, it seems to be doubling down on monetizing creepy anti-social interactions. And this will probably, in the end, lead to its demise. The company is already in decline but has lots of money to shed before it dies off.

Well, this is from 4/15/2021 and Omicron significantly changed the picture, so I'm not sure why this was posted.

I'm sure that comparing mortality across variants, vaccinations still saved many lives worldwide.
Fair. I'm not an expert on the economy of Japan (although I know a little bit). But in this case the money being printed is being used to prop up the stock market. It's essentially creating an artificial bubble.

So yes, you're right. How you use the money matters. But the US government isn't using it to help consumers, it's using it to help corporations.

I did not articulate this in my original comment, and concede you're (mostly) right. I maintain that "the money printer goes brrrr" is the main issue in the US, but admittedly I'm not providing as much data as you and your arguments aren't bad.
You're setting the bar at the federal minimum wage, which hasn't kept up with inflation for some time (not much good if it's raised if the cost of living rises faster). One can look at the federal minimum wage with disdain (I encourage folks here to try to live on ~$1200/month), and also observe that how Amazon treats its retail workers is still exploitative (both at fulfillment centers and the delivery network).

Regardless, a union is likely the solution for workers to improve their experience at Amazon at scale until there is enough political will (legislation/labor regulation) to stop treating these people as disposable.
Residents must be licensed to posses a handgun, and are strictly limited in when they may carry it. (i.e. you better be headed to/from the range or hunting if you have a handgun on you). Getting a license is not a guaranteed thing.

Non-residents may not posses a handgun in the city at all. The concept of Peacable Journey is basically ignored in NYC.
There are plenty of housing substitutes. A cheaper town/neighborhood, roommates, less bedrooms. As people leave more expensive areas those areas are forced to lower rent back to where it was.
Yet multiple media simply repeats the talk point of The White House. Serious question: I wonder why journalists are so aligned with the assessment.
> Deltachat also embodies some of the best parts of email encryption

It also embodies all of the metadata associated with it, which is still not encrypted.

> Open federation based on the popular and well known SMTP standard

and inefficient for messaging protocols, attachments are literally base64 encoded, every message includes a heap of metadata.

For transient communication you're better off installing a purpose built client with a purpose built protocol rather than trying to butcher email to do it.
Calling that the "correct conclusion" is absurd. Whether or not a critic "wanted" to see a movie shouldn't really factor into the review at all. At the end of the day, the typical movie-goer is probably judging a film based off of an entirely different set of criteria (excitement / satisfaction) than a typical movie critic (overall artistic merit). Which isn't an exciting conclusion, but probably more correct.

I would personally rate many movies I've seen lower if you told me to judge it from the perspective of a movie critic as opposed to a general audience member (The Purge for example).
> The part that caused so much frustration in the community was not this, it was that CentOS is no longer attempting to be "bug-for-bug compatible" with RHEL.

But that's my point (albeit perhaps not made as well as it could be): previously you'd tell your clients that they need RHEL version X.Y, or CentOS version X.Y or Oracle Linux version X.Y (or whatever) for the software that you want to deliver, against which version it has been tested, they'd install it in their VM/bare metal server and you'd have very few issues until EOL would roll around (admittedly i've run into a few issues like xrdp randomly breaking after an update, but that's not as important here).

Having support for roughly 10 years was pretty much a life saver in an enterprise setting that wouldn't update major releases too often and would rather focus on shipping features, CentOS 7 is supported from 2014 to 2024, CentOS 8 should have been supported for a similar amount of time, were it not for the project being "changed" like it was thanks to Stream. I am yet to see people talk of Stream in a positive context or offer it in most (regional) cloud platforms, some have switched to Oracle Linux instead, some are looking into Rocky Linux, the people who paid for RHEL simply keep paying for RHEL. Of course, that's just my subjective experience so far, i personally prefer DEB or just run containers, so i don't care too much.

For many Stream won't be an issue, but for others its akin to running their software on JDK 18, 19, ... instead of JDK 17 which is the current LTS offering. Ubuntu remains similarly boring as it previously has, you can run your software on 20.04 for the years to come with few surprises. CentOS Stream sitting between RHEL and Fedora is a non-starter for many.

Of course, Red Hat can do whatever they feel is good for the project long term or what makes sense financially, the people who are not okay with it will simply look elsewhere. Thankfully, containers let you lessen the headache by quite a lot.
This is really getting into the weeds with regards to how a bankruptcy court would handle a case like this.

Agreed. Still, one of the early posters here mentioned having an amount in high six figures in a Bill.com account. At that level, you want such issues nailed down.

There really is no reason to think that Bill.com will ever go bankrupt.

Their financial statements indicate they're operating as a "buy growth or die" startup, even after going public. They spend a huge amount on marketing. Marketing is more than twice cost of sales. They still lose huge amounts of money. They're taking on debt. Sometimes that works, as it did for Amazon. Sometimes it doesn't. Some analysts are worried.[1]

I’d probably feel some form of shame if I was a highly compensated engineer at M$ and our manager was giving the “its too hard” excuse.
There is a labor shortage for fast food, retail, warehouse, and similar jobs. So the people working in Amazon warehouses have options.
The non-tech F500 I worked at several years ago is doing everything they can to abandon .NET/Java in favor of low-code tools. Their engineers are jumping ship and they're having a hard time finding replacements.
Are we required to force it to use Wireguard instead of "Automatic" for this to work?
Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding.

That seems like a fascinating book.
Oh absolutely. If you don't have an emergency you will have to wait.

But man, when you do have a medical emergency, it's great not having to think about whether you're going to have to remortgage your house, sell your kidneys, put your kids up for adoption or reconsider all of your life plans.

Personally I think Canada is a little bit over-dogmatic about rejecting a parallel private system entirely: I know there are problems with running two systems (mainly around inequity and brain-drain incentives for healthcare workers to move out of the public system), but IMO, nothing that can't be fixed by sufficiently high prices/taxes.
Used mostly by schools, they are pretty close to a zero-admin laptop that generally only runs chrome. So students can see slides, do homework, access the web, access shared spreadsheets/documents, etc. It's all tied to your google account, and the school district can literally get by with zero admins. If a student drops one in a pool overnight, they can get a new laptop, login, and all their work is already there.

They are rather cheap, I bought my kid one for $180, like 7 years ago and it's still going. The intro instructions showed that if you poured a soda into the keyboard shake it out a few times and it should be fine. In highschool they handed my kid a laptop on the first day, quite a bit nicer than the 7 year old laptop, and of course quite familiar.

I've seen minimal market penetration outside of education. It is nice that they upstream patches for linux and to be called a chromebook they have to support a dev mode where you can install your own OS. So you can get a laptop, without paying the Microsoft tax.
Who says you can't use Kubernetes and all of your running water tech running your own hardware? Plenty of places do it.

Sounds like you just have worked at places who sucked at updating, maintaining, and setting up their own hardware unfortunately. Which I agree can be a huge pain in the ass if done incorrectly.
I had Covid-related anosmia for a few days, and it was very different from just being stuffed up and unable to smell/taste like with a regular cold. I could stand over e.g. a fire, and instead of smelling smoke, I had a sensation of smelling "nothingness."
i agree that this is mostly what i see too. but it’s not agile, it’s people claiming they’re agile and doing something else.
Wow, nice yeah I'd love to know how github supports configuring a URL to 301 redirect!

Actually, at the Amazon office in NYC, the one thing we did get was free coffee :) But it wasn't one of those fancy machines at other FANGs where you press cappuccino and you get a cappuccino. It was more like one salvaged from an old diner, where you would load a couple cups of grinds into a filter and it would percolate down into a gallon jug.
You can also reverse it and perhaps claim that doctors can benefit from less visceral reaction to seeing blood/internals. Though of course it is a learned behavior anyone can get better at.
It offers a one-to-one correspondence between stimuli and classifications, what else could a definition be?

Is the severity lessened much though? There were more deaths during the last wave, than during any previous wave.
