A decade ago, a Rolex wasn't much cheaper but it was in effect "free", as it was the only watch you could resale at the same price you bought it, even used and scratched. It wasn't an investment (and you didn't need to put it in a safe), but it wasn't a waste of money either.

(The same can't be said of the other luxury watch brands at all - like cars, they lose at least half their value the second you get them.)

Nowadays I don't know, there seems to be more pump and dump.
It's not just reducing the amount of the product, a lot of products also reformulate to make things cheaper to produce while keeping the price to the consumer the same.

I'm a 16 year old with a small homelab too :)

I used to have all of my services on cloud but since I got a 1G/1G home network and I found businesses decommissioning hardware and deals on local charity shops which source hardware from the landfill and give profits to charity missions, I decided to give it a go and try administering my own phisical servers. Currently running proxmox on 2 machines with one NAS and 14 spinning disks, with some Minecraft servers, personal programming projects, vulnerability scanners, telegram bots, VPSes for friends, android and MacOS building VMs, storage, some ML school projects with the recently added 1050ti, and hosting the infrastructure for my school CTF competition.

Excellent idea!

We all know that, long term, earth's biosphere is doomed (for human habitation) and the goal is to start over with a terraformed Blue Mars. Of course.

So projects like nuking our moon are a wonderful way to start practicing those bigger-picture geo-engineering projects without ... you know ... practicing on this little oxygen-rich wet rock we're all presently tethered to.

>This isn't even true

Of course it is. This is one of those 'only on HN' moments. You absolutely can be cognizant that a fact may give rise to any number of competing interpretations, and you can understand those interpretations to be significant if true, while not endorsing them.

>When someone believes a fact is important or "worth noting", they used some reasoning to arrive at that conclusion

Again, you can understand that a fact gives rise to certain interpretations without endorsing those interpretations, and this could nevertheless be enough of a reason to merit sharing the fact.
In my experience hosting an onionsite is actually easier than hosting a regular website. Two or three lines in a .torrc file, then `tor -f .torrc & python -m http.server -d static` or whatever to start the webserver, and everything is handled for you (iirc doing `mkdir tor/hidden_service` might also be needed?). No need to port forward or fiddle with DNS...

Though hosting two at once is a bit of a pain ([0])..

There's something I genuinely don't understand in discussions of price, which is that folks seem to want to ignore basic economics.

Something is either worth it to you or it's not. If it is worth it, and you want it, you may buy it. If it's not, then you don't buy it. The world keeps spinning.

The Tailwind folks seem to think this may be worth $150 to some people. Those people might buy it. If you think it's not worth that, it doesn't mean that those people are wrong, it means that you 1) don't understand the value or 2) the value just doesn't exist for you, and it's not for you.

Or maybe people do understand the economics of it, but there's something psychological that's more pressing: because one person doesn't find value, and sees another person that does find value, they must defend or justify their own value assessment and confront the opposition. I'm sure there's a name for this, but I don't know it off-hand.

Right. And additionally, it provides at least a trace of possibility that there's some sort of a vested interest in the outcome of the research, although it shouldn't necessarily be held against them that they believe in their work and want to see applications from it.

That's more or less my argument in the EU - it's something federal USA has stopped noticing but it's clear in Europe.

You can become leader of Hungary by wrapping yourself in the patriotic history of the mid-European medieval struggles - struggles that carry cultural weight in the countries that bore the brunt of the middle ages. But talking about medieval knightly charges just gets a laugh in Sweden whose cultural resonance is more gunpowder and forest rights.

Any pan-European agreements need to be appealing to commonly held incentives - those almost always look like "greater common wealth, growth, consumer protection"

The Federal US has a similar setup and I think can be found at root of many of the wedge issues troubling the US
I had the opposite experience. Chemists on my family, so everything was dangerous. The PVC tubes were dangerous because of plasticisers, epoxy resins combined with other chemicals.

It was certainly a pain is the ass while growing up. On the other hand, my family members are getting old (nearing 100) without cancer, Parkinson, Alzheimer or things like that, preserving mobility and autonomy.

Similar with my father. He is on the rapid decline stage. He's overweight, diabetic and suffering from congestive heart failure. Everything he did to get himself here was self inflicted because the consequences were not immediate and he was so self obsessed with his own correctness over doing what the hell he wanted that he was invincible. They won't do surgery on him to repair his heart because it's too risky. They took away his driving license. He sits at home all day waiting to die with cognitive visible on a weekly basis. His bowel has stopped working properly as well now.

If it's likely to go in the section marked X then you're either taking a risk or lining yourself up for a particularly shitty decline one day.

I'm not sure it follows that high incidences of cancer means that it's unhelpful to use them for research to understand the mechanisms of cancer.

The ui looks extremely cluttered when all I want is a terminal. I am not using most of the features most of the time.

Also, this is a frontend for bash, which I don't use. So it's pretty much useless for me right now. zsh support is coming, but again this is a frontend for specific shells. What happens if I switch to fish, for example? I don't want to have to change terminals is I use a different shell.

Also, electron. Yuck.

On the other hand, if the WireGuard implementation has a vulnerability, the attacker does not need to attack SSH at all and simply punch through WireGuard to have kernel-level access to the system.

My friend was biking across a parking lot exit and got slammed by a car, t-boning her. She faceplanted into the hood, really really bad. A while later, she saw the same car and they had not fixed the hood, and she could see the crumple of where her face slammed into it.

Given that the metal of the hood deformed to her face, that’s a decent amount of impact energy. I would wager her outcome would’ve been even more gruesome had she carried that energy into a rigid, stainless steel hood.

> deMicrosofted windows isn't a thing for a reason

About this part, I'm not sure I understand.

"deMicrosoft" was, and is a thing. See "windows 7 umattended edition" or "windows 10 reclaim scripts". Same with android and custom roms.

Corporate greed bloats up perfectly fine operating systems for as long as I can remember, and de-bloating them has and is still a thing.

Stock android is not so bad (2023); android has to cater to a broader ecosystem of vendors and hardware, hence the heterogenity and the overall not streamlined experience that comes with it, that much is certainly true.
Although, now that I think about it some more, you'd probably want to be very certain of all the math before you turn a nontrivial amount of the Moon's surface into liquid molten rock belching out superheated gas.

It actually is. The design is just a small part of the control's cost. Then it has to go through a lot of compliance tests (the controls can't be flammable, can't break easily into shards, and so on). You have to do those tests for every car's interior part. When you squeeze everything into a touchscreen, you have to make the whole screen compliant only once.

lead pollution from gasoline was about 30% of all lead pollution.

it's great that people recognized how harmful lead pollution is and coordinated action was taken.

Take just one example and go outwards from it.

> Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Is the Friday the only coinciding factor in their assassinations? What about months and years, since other parts of the 'matching facts' seem to focus on years. One was November 1963, the other was April 1865. Thinking from that, if the simulation managed to match year-digits on other facts why did the simulation only match the day in this one specific area?

Try that or work on each of the examples. Here's another one

> John Booth who assassinated Lincoln was born in 1839

False. 1838. This should have taken no more than a minute to look up. How did the simulation get things so wrong?

The answer is that passages like these rely on the reader not applying critical thinking on it.
I love this. Somehow people forgot how far simple things such as a VPS, some reverse proxies and some hand-written short tools in whatever language can bring you. For me, crappy little tools is the way to success. Perfection is the opposite of good.
Wikipedia and stack overflow and forums like reddit and chat and similar are the biggest benefits of the internet and they are very cheap to run, you could run them based on donations. Reddit is more expensive than it has to be since they try to pivot to more ads and media, but a text forum is very cheap.

The biggest benefit from ad supported tech are search and video, the rest would be better without ads. Reddit would be a better place if they didn't try to get ad revenue etc, in those cases them chasing revenue makes user experience worse instead of better.
Here in Sweden we have a law that forces shops to provide a "comparison price" on the price tag. Depending on the type of product, it's the price per volume, weight or unit. This makes it trivial to compare prices between products of different package sizes, and to notice shrinkflation.

Doesn't help detect changed ingredients that lower quality, though.

I thought this was a EU thing, but a quick search suggests that maybe it's something specific to us?
> If we put more effort into self-driving busses and autonomous trains ... we would see much greater dividends on our investment and far fewer "unintuitive" errors.

Everything you said made sense, except focusing on mass transit for FSD, for two reasons:

The intent of focusing on bus/train automation comes from an illusion of control (we can control the lane/track, thereby) – hence we tend to rudimentarily attribute easy outcomes to it (low risk, high value).

If we ignore the control part and properly think about it – mass transit actually higher risk for lower value.

1. Lower value: For something that involves 100+ people on dense economic centers, it's already running at an economy of scale where a human driver just makes sense. I live in Germany where the metro trains & trams are already crazy automated. There is a human driver there just in case, more as a supervisor for the people riding (controlling hooliganism, jammed doors, helping challenged people, dealing with emergencies, etc). I see German trains as already running on FSD4. FSD5 full automation is a waste of time here. Using buses for last mile coverage for few passengers, aka treating buses as "big taxis" is probably worse environmentally than actual taxis.

2. Higher risk: By the same logic you said for cars – "far fewer unintuitive errors" – at a much higher capacity of mass transit – is far more catastrophic. Imagine a self-driving train had just 1 accident in 10 years, but it affected 1000 people. It's sheer terror. Who is liable for it? Government. The problem with going down this mass-transit-first route is, one error means legislating away the entire sector.

Cars are actually lower risk (individual choice, individual liability, accidents don't deter others from adopting) and higher value (last mile, moving away from the dense urban city plans that come with high rents and chokepoints which are crippling even to my beloved, beautiful German cities where even with all the urban sprawl, last mile is still a problem outside A zones).
IIRC it just should look like normal TLS traffic. They are unique to each of the already public Tor relays not the users. What benefit would ECH bring? You can still look at the IP and know it's Tor.

All the "let's hide that it's Tor" work is done with pluggable transports [0] used in combination with unlisted relays (bridges). This way there can be multiple completely different protocols like obfs4 (looks completely random), Snowflake (uses WebRTC), meek (uses domain fronting) and WebTunnel (WebSockets over https) without a need to update the Tor spec and all relays.

I wouldn't call it "coincidence" necessarily. More like "cherry-picking" and "spurious correlations". That is to say, given a very large dataset (like the recorded history of the United States, or the recorded history of Earth, etc.) you can trawl through it and find paths of links like this, where things appear to connect to other things, that connect to other things, etc.

But it's pure post-hoc construction... something akin to creating "just so stories" just with the elements drawn from an assemblage of factual events[1]. There's no particular reason to think that there was any kind of causal connection or other deeper relationship between these events.

[1]: note that in the case of this Lincoln / Kennedy thing, in the forms you usually see this distributed in, it appears to not be the case that all of the individual assertion are true.

I'm not sure sure about that. With orbital dynamics being complicated, I'm pretty sure you want to push it to a known orbit.

Or it will hit Earth in it's next orbit.
