Userspace mode might be an option (runs without a TUN or doing any system network wiring, at the expense of performance): https://tailscale.com/kb/1112/userspace-networking/

Running Tailscale without privileges is a challenge because tailscaled needs to be able to configure your network, and if you enable Tailscale SSH it also needs to be able to create sessions for configured users.

There are many people here calling the mayor corrupt. If a business bribed a public official to get a contract, and the city could prove it, then the deal would be void, wouldn't it?
Lots of sites don't let you put their business name in the username. For instance, Samsung won't let you register with "samsung" in it.
Because curation to keep spam out would be work. And how do you prevent trojan horses, where an initially promising blog is turned over to SEO once included in the official dmoz?

Could be done, but it'd take time and effort.
Oh, in this case it was just shameless union busting. Taking an axe to your company yourself is a helluva lot cheaper than hiring the Pinkertons.

It looks like you're stripping MathML out of the RSS feed -- is that intentional, or are you using an older sanitizer that doesn't recognize it? For example, my RSS feed [1] for my most recent post [2] has:

&lt;msup&gt;&lt;mi&gt;e&lt;/mi&gt;
&lt;mrow&gt;&lt;mi&gt;k&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;mi&gt;t&lt;/mi&gt;&lt;/mrow&gt;&lt;/msup&gt;

Well, what do you want to ascertain? In any case you won’t capture the long tail of long tenures, because you don’t know how long current tenures will extend into the future. What you could measure is the median current seniority of tech employees (how long they are in their current job), which would be a lower bound for the median of (eventual) tenures of current employments.

Ah gotcha, thanks for pointing that out.
As someone with a full homelab with all the fixins, I don't self-host external-facing services without a VPN (meaning, no ports open into my network and thus no public web sites etc). This isn't because I don't know how, or that I'm too lazy, but rather an acknowledgement that it's a huge security risk and it isn't necessary.

My public facing stuff lives on cheap cloud services and is kept well away from my home network.
Ask HN: Where can you safely ask beginner-level questions online in 2023?
What are some of your favourite websites for asking beginner-level questions where you won't be laughed out of the room for being a beginner say, 30-50% of the time?

Facebook seems hit or miss - some Facebook groups are okay with beginners, others hate them.

Twitter is prone to the no-network effect where you can only really ask questions if you have a strong follower base that's open to answering your questions - nobody really uses hashtags, so, you have to be a "reply guy" if you want to ask questions.

Reddit is nice, but I was banned from Reddit for life for saying that the new Harry Potter game looks good and probably isn't a call to arms for Nazis - trying to be a voice of reason, rather than a Nazi, or, whatever I got banned from the platform for life for - and haven't bothered setting up Tor yet.

Quora seems interesting, but, I don't like it.

Hacker News seems great, but, it's more for intermediate to advanced audiences.

Stack Exchange seems great, but, it's not a great place for beginners - like Hacker News, it seems more well-suited to intermediate to advanced audiences, or, people who can articulate beginner level questions in a way that's non-offensive to more experienced users.

Slack and Discord are probably the most beginner-friendly in my opinion, but only if you either ask very, very, very short questions in the right channels.

Are there any other websites these days that I should be looking at?

I'm looking to learn more about different things as a beginner, since, shamefully, I don't know everything about everything that has ever existed, or will ever exist, but, find that if you want to learn more about something, you need to be an intermediate to advanced-level practitioner first.

I've found that on entertainment-focused websites like Facebook and Twitter I'll get insults and zingers back rather than helpful information if there's any way that my question can be deliberately misinterpreted to make the asker of a given question look bad (i.e. for the lulz).

For example, yesterday I asked if the clothes you wear while riding a bicycle at 20-30kph matter in terms of aerodynamic resistance and most people "laughed" at me for not knowing that air exists, that drag exists, for not being able to solve my question with pen and paper and basic high school math, etc.

Is there any website on the Internet in 2023 where you can ask questions as a beginner, or as someone who doesn't have hundreds to thousands of hours of experience in a given field without getting "owned" and made a mockery of?

Or, is there a more pragmatic, righteous path?

If so, what is the righteous path to asking questions as a beginner - a non-expert in a given area - in 2023?
YC isn't responsible for the actions of the founders of every start-up that they fund. Even worse: after funding them they have very limited ability to influence the companies they funded, after all, YC has a small minority stake and founders could just ignore them. Obviously YC can cut them off from further capital and blackball them but that may not be sufficient.

>The touchscreen systems are nice in buildings with banks of multiple elevators - they let the system optimize which floors each car will stop at for maximum throughput.

This has nothing to do with "the touchscreen". Elevator control systems have done load planning for decades, pretty much since the first moment someone realized you could control the elevator's relays with a microcontroller.
> > Ironically, apple.com doesn't even support dark mode!

> The wording if this makes it sound like supporting dark mode is table stakes. I don't think this is really the case. Personally, I don't expect a site to support dark mode by default.

The irony is that Apple invented dark mode, so I do expect that site to support dark mode by default.
Nothing, but I'd prefer to buy a new one as a gift. Also, the second-hand market is probably way smaller here in Poland, and shipping from the US is pretty expensive.
> I'm actually pretty nervous for users from a security perspective. The Grindr data is essentially a blackmail gold mine - combine a ton of disgruntled employees with the loss of expertise to maintain app security (which had a number of issues in the past), and I don't think it bodes well.

This shouldn't change anything from an opsec perspective. Google itself will always have record of you having downloaded it to your device. The Chinese were looking to buy Grindr for some reason. Someone could leak, sure, but nothing stops the company itself from selling out to anyone interested in membership records at any time.

Yes, it can se timer to wake automatically from hibernate, but that doesn't mean it does that automatically withotu you setting those timers. I can understand there have been some bugs in the past but that's anon-issue today.
Recently moved up to 3gbps bidirectional and had a hell of a time getting 3gbps even with 10gbps network card directly into the 10gbps port on the ISP-provided modem. In addition to this, there are very few services that will actually feed you data at 3gbps.

Steam - ~280MB/s (2.2gbps)

Battle.net launcher - ~140MB/s (1.1gbps)

25GB Torrent with 1000+ seeders - ~70MB/s (~560mbps)

2GB iso from github - ~80MB/s (~650mbps)

fast.com - 1.4gbps

speedtest.net - 2.7gbps (using ISPs endpoint 2ms away)

Using a download manager like IDM or jDownloader will help for http downloads, but most hosts will limit your speed even with 16 connections open. I've managed to see 2gbps moving data to/from servers (scp) with softether configured to use 16 connections. The reality is with a single connection (majority of ssl transfers) you'll be limited by the sending side in almost all cases.

Overall it seems that while you can get connected and run an iperf to your ISP or multi-connection speedtest to a server hosted by your ISP or peered with your ISP, you'll be pretty much limited to <1gbps speeds regardless of your home network throughput.

Knowing this I would have simply went multi-gig (2.5g) for all in-home networking and saved a good chunk of change on networking equipment.
When you learn Chinese, they teach you that the more complex words are just compounds of smaller words put into a single character. I imagine tokenizing it isn't much different than other languages -- for the complex characters you can tokenize it into its smaller parts.

PETRAS: National Centre of Excellence for IoT Systems Cybersecurity
Less data can be grabbed from a web app, which is better for users.

Less apps going through the app store ecosystem means 30% lower rents if you can divorce the app store billing, which is better for the company.

I imagine a future where the webapp installs a PWA to mitigate the rent-seeking app stores. But I am sure the app stores would insert a clause preventing a "lite" version of PWA's to be installed.

It might have been a convenience thing back when there were only a few sites on the Internet but it's unreasonable, and just not practical to expect users to memorize several hundred, good, unique passwords for all the websites and apps they'll use in their modern digital life. Login with Google/Facebook/Apple/auth0 help mitigate the number of passwords to remember, but then you are beholden to that company.

Not all single points of failure are made equal, and password reuse is a much bigger problem than the possibility of your password manager getting hacked, assuming you choose a good one.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the number of staff. It is directly related to the ADL’s campaign of convincing advertisers to pull out. It appears there will be a lawsuit.

Dear US government, please open VPN access to everyone in the world. If you want citizens of an authoritative nation to be able to escape their local firewall, then these systems need to be available. You have a history of making these products and even funding them through things like Radio Free Asia. Though for some reason you also attack these systems too and cut their legs off. Get your fucking act together. Both citizens of our own country need encryption to avoid spying on from foreign nations as well as citizens of authoritarian nations need encryption to avoid spying from their own governments. They'll never rise up against their governments if they can't secretly communicate. Preventing encryption in our own country means you fear this too, which is not a great thing to tell your citizens.

According to the alleged playbook, the thing being extinguished is the same as the thing being extended.

But Microsoft has had a wall of lawyers for a long time. Microsoft's potential first-party GPL violations would have been defended by their lawyers for decades now.

This take seems to be stretching for a Microsoft bad interpretation.
WiFi

While I love that ISP are continuing to ramp up the speeds beyond 5 Gbps, keep in mind that 99.99% of home user connect on WiFi which taps out at like 1-2 Gbps.
That's SOP for elevator emergencies. The only safe place in an elevator shaft is inside the safe metal box. That box almost never drops uncontrollably, because there are at least three independent systems to prevent such a thing. Just wait for the local firefighters or repairman to come open the doors for you.
People being able to get around copyright violations sounds like something that promotes the sharing of code not extinguishing it.
> This is a very Liberal line of thought

IANAL, but I believe that is the actual basis of CSAM laws. In that case, it's not political statement, it's a statement of legal record.

You have to remember that the law is required to be self-consistent. So if you allow a line of reasoning to be the basis of a law, you have to also allow it to be the basis of any other law. A law based on "making this thing harms children in the process" is consistent with precedent. A law based on "this will make people want to do bad things" is not.
I don't actually know off the top of my head how to refactor it - I've never had to write or deal with a type that complicated. It might actually be the best way of writing that specific type, in which case yes that kind of sucks, but I feel like it's probably not based on how hard it is to parse.
I know right? I'm an older person so I remember Reagan's "Evil Empire". It's gobsmacking.
Also, normally when you pay for street parking the blow is softened by the belief that - at least in theory - the money might go to infrastructure maintenance or some other publicly beneficial cause.

How many hours in legal fees did you pay for your attorneys?
But it kind of is a great moral problem: A whole lot of infrastructure in the US is way overbuilt, with maintenance sent forward decades. The cost of the infrastructure isn't really handled by the people that built it, or those that use it today: It's left as a giant ball of debt to children and grandchildren.

A major reason for problems with old suburbs is that, unless they massively appreciated in value, and accept very large taxes, the per-house costs of rebuilds and maintenance isn't handled by the people that live in said suburb, but kicked outward. There's all kinds of very bad incentives, caused by how we have this kind of infrastructure. It's all over midwestern cities, and the outer suburbs that are getting built are doing the very same thing.
Not really shocking or new but kind of interesting. Why would they use 0days on security researchers. My guess is it's a test with upside. On the one hand if it works on a security researcher, you can go "live" because you got a good one and on the other hand you estimate that in the long run you'll get 1+x 0days out of the deal from said researcher.

As a security researcher it also presents an interesting situation. If you're careful enough and can pretend to be dumb enough, you might be able to harvest fresh attack vectors/0day etc. "for free" but the downside is if you overestimate yourself you'll get pwned.
I think your first point is compelling, and what I was alluding to - copper bed rails, etc. have pretty modest effect estimates.

The costs themselves are on a very similar order of magnitude.

That's not always as easy as you seem to want to make it. It can take a long time to establish a field and a product line, a copycat can skip all your mistakes and take the end product. Now: it all depends on what was copied. They've copied code, text from the website, other documentation they may well be in serious trouble. And then it helps that they happen to be funded because that makes them a nice fat & juicy target.

I'm glad you see the reasoning in what I say.

Political answers are one solution, as you say. Tribalism is another. Neither are right to me.

What an actual answer could be like, I don't know. I tend to think that conscious adults do not need to be guided like children. Eg in a social setting you do not need the police - people are capable of managing themselves - in fact they will better manage things without a 'management class'. The self acclaimed authorities are actually the worst of us, parasites on the work of others. The basis of government authority too has no moral basis.

Might I point out too, that normalising theft, force and infantilisation of the masses will not lead us to utopia either. Calling immorality 'right' or 'good' while it is plainly not, is also not a right or good action in itself - it is to embrace an illusion. These actions hasten dystopia, right?

So, in the first place individuals need to understand what basic morality is (the golden rule: do not treat others as you would not want to be treated) and then live their lives accordingly. It is not what the law, your teacher, a judge, a priest, or whoever says - you know what is right already, innately. Don't initiate violence or harm (eg lying) in others.

If more people lived according to their consciences, the change would tranformative. That means police, army, teachers, medical staff, etc would need to reflect on their actions and stop initiating violence and harm. Don't code the dystopian control grid of the future. As I see it, any progressive future change has to come from each individual acting according to their conscience. And in the first place these means that one should not justify immoral acts, even if it is the government undertaking them.
I agree with your point, I'm just using the GPL as an example of a license people tend to know the stipulations of.
Are you denying that skill exists in the world? But beyond that, not speeding, not drinking and driving/riding, and not raging on the road are not exactly 'skills'.

But honestly, I am a pretty skilled rider. I just don't have to use most of it on the road... I said myself I only had one close call in 10 years. Only that moment really involved skill.
Because if it loses money, I, a taxpayer that does not drive is paying for you to park your car. No thanks.

>It worked out of the box on my Arch install.

Ubuntu isn't Arch I think. Average Joe switching away form Windows isn't gonna start learning Arch.

>Bonus points compared to Windows for actually staying asleep instead of randomly waking up while in my bag.

That doesn't happen under hibernate. You used sleep thinking it was hibernate, that's why you had that issue.
I've got AT&T Fiber's 5 gigabit symmetric service (with a Ubiquiti equipment stack that handles 40 gigabit without issue) and while its been very stable and I win all nerd fights with my speed tests, I've been thinking about dropping back down to 1 gigabit because I don't find much value out of 5. If it was cheaper ($180/mo for 5 gigabit) maybe I'd keep it but Astound/WaveG is offering gigabit symmetric for $50/mo with 4 free months so tough to swallow.
If that's the criteria, can you name any company that's not a software company in 2023?

The local steel mill got hit with ransomware a few months ago. The Windows virus didn't touch the furnace controls, cranes, sand dispensers, or forklifts, but it shut down their custom software that lets them receive purchasing requests, queue work orders to the foreman, and eventually ship to and bill customers, and they were shut down for weeks.

Is a steel mill a software company?

I suppose the local Amish bakery/furniture store might continue to accept cash if their borrowed battery-powered POS terminal went offline, but every other business I can think of from Boeing to Wal-Mart relies on software to facilitate the business. And at various levels of scale, they all grow from purely running on an Office license to some custom spreadsheet logic to an in-house database server.
this advantage is not specific to OpenAI right? Any big cloud provider like Amazon/Google can host these open LLM models.
