There are not only two reasons to use a consumer VPN. It is entirely reasonable to shift trust from an opaque, investor-owned corporation that has no profit incentive or regulatory reasons to protect their customers personal information and network footprint (in fact they have incentive to sell as much data about their customers as possible) to a much more transparent company that does have the incentive to protect their customers' data.

Mullvad has been at the forefront of not just VPN companies, but of any company, in their transparency, focus on their technology and pushing for further improvements in protecting data, raising the bar for trust and integrity and being more open.

Consumer VPNs are not a panacea (and Mullvad does not market themselves to be one). It is unfortunate that almost every single VPN company is actually snake oil, but Mullvad is a welcome counter-example.
That was the decoy behind the secondary infection vector, not the motivation.
I like it but a month after paying for it the subscription model was changed significantly to be way more expensive. I just can’t let myself become depending on something with such capricious business practices. Maybe it is a positive indication that they are better at product than they are business and customer relations.

To convert MB/s to gb/s (MegaBytes per second to Gigabits per second) simply multiply by 8 (8 bits per byte). So 280MB/s is 2.24gbps (moving the decimal place).
One thing that drives me mad on the Python side of things is the way frameworks and middleware (even the WSGI spec) corrupt the most basic "quoting" mechanism of RFC 3986. All of these layers of trying to be clever or friendly subvert the correctness of the original concept. And these broken approaches become precedents that reinforce in the culture of web breakage and compatibility.

Specifically, "reserved" characters have a different meaning from their URL quoted form. It is obvious that the intent of this was to allow their use as meta-syntax to separate parts of a URL that might then have the quoted form embedded in them. But every stupid middleware layer that tries to unquote _before_ parsing and routing is throwing away this information and making it impossible to know what was the original meta-syntax and what was embedded quoted material that might be a fragment derived from arbitrary, user-generated content.
The bigger benefit of all of that bandwidth is going to be multiple users. If you work from home and have a big family, or just live with a few roommates you're going to be seeing huge quality of service improvements from one person not being able to tank the whole connection.

Oh I agree. Web based is 100% the way forward with this type of app.

For some more details, they use a websocket for basically all interactions on the app, such as messages, online status, etc. They were blasting internal data into that websocket for some cases, which included IPs, Hashed and salted passwords, the salts for said passwords, user reports, private photos, emails... and a lot more such as ISP, user agent and verification codes.

The company pays but then it can also use other companies' fiber, so sometimes it's worth it to do so in order to show that they have coverage in a certain area where there might not be fiber (that they then lay down), and also that they cover everywhere else.

It's quite a clever system that uses market greed to incentivize building. It's the same system as railroads, imagine if railroads could not share tracks with each other.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrangements_between_railroads...
Grants from the government.

Some places also vote to have the city or town connect with Fiber which then puts tax money aside for it.

In many places it is the power companies that run fiber and they are mostly partially or fully state owned. The lagest ISP also has the state as the majority share holder.
Why are we wasting time saying "Bun runtime" when "Buntime" is right there?

The video is well done, and I'm fascinated that it's built on WebKit instead of V8. Good luck, Bun.team()!
> This take seems to be stretching for a Microsoft bad interpretation.

Very much. I'm ok with Microsoft haters, provided that they are clear about their bias with themselves and others. They're not, though.

There is no chance that every negative comment on this site about Microsoft is unbiased. None.
Really excited by this! Between Bun, Deno, and obviously Node, there's some serious innovation happening in the non-browser JS world.
Massive solar deployment is a great clean energy source to add to the existing plants. However, it isn't a solid baseline source without storage/batteries.

This is where EVs can help if they have V2G aka bidirectional charging capabilities.

Nuclear will take years if not decades to solve the problems but solar can be deployed in months or a year with the right incentives.
This was my experience as well. On X11 + i3 (with no DE), latency and screen tearing was always an issue I had to fiddle with. Things came to a head when my 2021-release work Thinkpad started tearing driving an external 4K monitor over Thunderbolt. I switched over to Wayland + sway, and it was a night and day difference. Significantly better latency and no tearing, even driving two 4K displays with an Intel iGPU!

The laptop docking story is also significantly better. Waylands libinput lets me assign mouse accel and keyboard repeat rates/rebinds to specific devices, and they always get applied on hotswap, no custom udev rules needed. For audio, Pipewire is sensible and Just Works. Kanshi works sensibly in a way that I was never able to convince dockd to.

Wayland is what brought me from “I like Linux for a work/coding environment, but it’s too fiddly for a daily driver” to finally consistently using Linux in a personal and professional capacity.
It all depends on what has been copied. If privileged info from the YC application was used they should be sued into the ground for that but I can't imagine that YC would ever let that happen. If they copied code, text or images from the product or webpages they should be slammed for that too. But if they just decided to clone the concept and did all the legwork themselves that would be a different matter.

The fact that they infiltrated the OPs comms channels certainly doesn't make them look good.
I'm a proud owner of a 1 Gbit/s fiber connection with a 100 Mbit (wired) network in my house. I want to upgrade it to match, but I don't want to go through the effort because I never run into download times for anything.
Colin here, I work on Bun.

Bun 1.0 is actually still compiling but we decided not to delay the premiere of this announcement video since it was already on calendars. We'll be publishing a full announcement post later today that's more detailed than this video.
Can we all just agree on something: Google and Meta (and a bunch of others) are just the privatization of the government surveillance state. Facebook's product is the user data. That data gets sold and resold and eventually put into the government's hands through gray area retailers.

If your issue is "I don't want to be on a government list" one part of the solution would be making sure there's no data to populate the list, and the other part is restricting anyone from assembling such a list. The former is what Norway is doing, but pretending only the latter needs to be addressed is ignoring human nature. "If you aggregate it, they will come".
It's unclear to me from the article or docs: does this release of Mojo support GPU?
That's great. Until the pizza guy needs to ring because he can't find my address.
It's intractable to preemptively avoid all possible copyright claims, but correcting them after being called out on it only requires adding the license and attribution required by whoever's currently suing you.
Agreed. My father is a full on MAGA hat wearing hater of the “liberal media” which I find to be a laughable phrase. The mainstream media in this country is controlled by what? Three or four corporations that have a massive incentive to keep things just the way they are. That they would present any sort of liberal viewpoint that’s more than skin deep is utter fantasy.
That looks like a lot of marketing to me trying to shore up Biden's reputation with Union workers after he killed the railroad strike and left our necessary workers to the dogs.

You are right. Not sure about their official policy, but I know of multiple instances of where they’ve invested on competitors of their own companies

Sometimes this happens without them even knowing, because they put money into a company very early on, then the company pivots and starts competing with another YC company
I think green hydrogen production is the obvious use case, but smelting, carbon capture and other things you would do with "free" power all make sense.
Because that is about, so far, the longest piece of clearly, demonstrably unique code that has ever been shown to have been copied. The longest you’d ever be able to clearly convince a court with, at least.

PyTorch was not in any stretch of the imagination a breakthrough, nor is an H100. Those are clear incremental engineering improvements. Notable ones yes, but definitely not breakthroughs.

The transformer paper is the only thing that absolutely can be considered a breakthrough and what commercial success or impact did it have before OpenAI? None.

He is absolutely correct. Silicon Valley had been chasing crap for years now like crypto or various forms of rent seeking "businesses", and making incremental improvements.
Yeah, and I assume in the future Python will get its own JIT or AOT compiler, if people really demand it. Most Python for scientific programming is just a higher level glue code for the C++ underneath.
What power they have depends on the terms, the board composition, etc. and yes they can screw you.

You know that, of course, but really the thing is that the sentiment here is information-free and an indicator of that is the inability to tell the difference between debt and equity. i.e. the sentiment and the result are independent events.

I've never met someone so dead-set on misinterpreting their own sources. It's kinda shocking!

> This letter from the dean of Stanford Law School

Okay, now go back through and read it again.

> the First Amendment is designed to protect speech from government restriction, and therefore is not directly applicable to Stanford as a private institution

This entire letter is based on interpretations of California state law and school policy, which is a fairytale as far as federal jurisdiction is concerned. And they even concede that those interpretations are subject to further scrutiny:

> Thus, while the California Supreme Court in In re Kay protected protestors speaking out against an elected official at “a large, public celebration held outdoors in a public park,” the Court noted that “the nature of a meeting necessarily plays a major role,” and that “customs and usages” are central to the analysis.

So, as you have so vehemently tried to disprove, there is no federal precedent that limits the lawful protest of public speech. Please don't misconstrue my arguments in the future if you want to have a productive debate.
So explain what it costs a business to make something in non-monetary terms. Will the bank be loaning them painting hours?

> it allows for more flexibility when everyone is on the same page

Yes, but that qualifier is crucial, as the Metafilter post referenced upthread points out: "Guess behaviors only work among a subset of other Guess people -- ones who share a fairly specific set of expectations and signalling techniques. The farther you get from your own family and friends and subculture, the more you'll have to embrace Ask behavior."

In fact, as the scenario described in the Metafilter thread shows, even sharing considerable background doesn't always make Guess work. The wife and the friend in the scenario were from the same home town and knew each other's families, but the wife's attempts to hint, in Guess fashion, that the friend wasn't a welcome visitor didn't take, and now the wife and husband are struggling with the (necessary in this case) switch to Ask behavior (or more precisely the correct Ask response, which is to Just Say No instead of hinting).
I think it's actually cheaper to go 40gbps QSFP and run MPO cables (4 pairs internally) than it is to go 25g fiber.

It's not. 25G and 40G transceivers cost the same and MPO cables are more expensive.
I don't, but I also know that green bins are not commonplace throughout the state. Some locations have them, some do not. San Diego did not, although you were free to buy your own waste container and it would be picked-up bi-weekly. In my old town in NorCal, the city would pick up piles of green waste left on the street.

Yard waste is vastly different from food waste. Yard waste might smell a bit(wet leaves/grass mostly) but it generally doesn't attract roaches and/or rats.

Keep in mind that green waste varies greatly depending on the area and your landscape. I had a heavily planted yard of native vegetation at my old San Diego house and it produced less waste than my kitchen.
Would love to see the serverless ecosystem embrace either Bun or Deno.
So that makes it right?

Depending on what they copied it can be anywhere from 'meh' to 'guilty'. What it looks like isn't relevant other than in the context of whether or not it is their original work or not.

We had it in the US but the Courts overruled Congress & demanded the FCC carve out an exception of the required Unbundled Local Element/Local Loop Unbundling requirements of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. By 2001 it was clear we weren't getting unbundled network elements after all.
https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-03-36A1.pdf

It was & is one of the most stunning activist court decisions to have hit the US ever. Big companies sued, saying fiber was expensive & that they should have sole control over next gen telecommunications technology & the courts ignored the legislative act & handed incumbent powers total control. Revilesome; one of the biggest constraints in US infrastructure in general.

The FCC has been busy 5hese past couple years unwinding remaining requirements for dark fiber & other remaining protections. I somewhat care but the obliteration of last mile protections that enabled competitive carriers to exist at all makes the overall market so unavailable & locked up that it's less relevant.
In my case, init7 defines that "fair use" is 0.5 PB per month. So that is about 40 hours until they start asking questions, I guess :)

I doubt I will be any close to that.
This only applies if you use the filters they have that prevent code from being copied directly, so that shouldn’t be likely to happen

I don't really disagree that much with your point, but I'm also thinking it needs to go into the "Sure, and I'd like a pony" bucket.

Point being that municipal governments have tons of responsibilities: airports, parks, health districts, roads/sidewalks, etc., etc. There is just no way they can be competent in all these different areas, and indeed they aren't. There are good examples of non-profits that manage public resources much better than city government can, at a much lower cost (the Trail Foundation in Austin comes to mind for me). We shouldn't throw away the baby with the bathwater.
mullvad has one of the best reputations in the entire consumer vpn space. they were one of if not the very first businesses to accept bitcoin back in 2010 when no one knew what bitcoin was and before the word crytpo existed or anyone was in it to make money. they were one of the early funders and supporters of wireguard itself before it was merged into linux(and before anyone cared about it). they are working in cooperation with firefox to run their vpn system. they require no email address or personally identifiable information at all to use them. they don't do scammy sponsorships on podcasts or youtube channels to mislead people into thinking that their service or vpns in general solve problems they don't actually solve.

and at the end of the day if you think consumer vpns are stupid you can always just not use it. i don't think that them teaming up with mullvad implies anything bad or suspect about either of them. this type of a service is something that is really important and useful to a certain subset of users, and if they were going to wind up teaming up with a consumer vpn provider this is probably the least shady and most principled one they could have done it with.

I only mention because when I was in Texas for the first time in my life, when I entered Target for shopping in Houston area, I saw 4 men walking in with big guns strapped to their back.

I was kind of freaked out but everyone else operated as if it was normal.

I found that pretty jarring. Was only there for a few days but almost everyday I saw someone with a gun on them on the streets.

Yes my sample size is low, but it’s still a strong memory in my mind.

Unrelated to the release itself: I like this direct format of video changelog. It's pretty slick, and doesn't spend too much time meandering.

Of course text changelogs are always required, and I can only assume they will publish one today, but this Apple-ish format is very "eat a sandwich and watch something" compatible.
I know, still I an not sure what is better, asking an LLM or googling? (google search has been quietly deteriorating)
All of the VCs I'm involved with would definitely have a problem with that.

Nearly totally unrelated, but what is with the recent trend of showing people talking to but not look at the camera? Do they save money that way? It drives me bananas and is just a distraction from the content being conveyed.. Altogether, with their obvious attempt at slickness, I find this video rather corny.

I'm not sure if you mean mine or theirs. Theirs is definitely bad. Mine was not an analysis, just pointing out how bad theirs is. The original investment was in 2008. $1 billion invested in an S&P500 ETF would have returned the original investment plus a couple billion more. Even still where they are at in 15 year does not work out to a really high interest rate. It's still sub 4%.
