> just add performant TCP support to Wireguard

But IP over TCP is in principle non-performant. There's no (non-evil) magic Wireguard could perform to get around that.

Adding TCP support to Wireguard would add a whole bunch of complexity that it doesn't need – for a very niche use case (i.e. where you absolutely have to get an IP VPN to work over a restrictive firewall).

> Wireguard won't do it directly, but there's hacks involving udp2raw.

Which significantly does not do UDP over TCP in the problematic sense (it just masquerades UDP as TCP, without providing a second set of TCP control loops on top of the first one).

> AWS killed all internet access on the instance with zero warning and sent us an email indicating that they suspected the instance was compromised and being used as part of a DDOS attack.

It makes no sense for that to be due to Wireguard usage, though (not saying I don't believe you that it happened, just their explanation or your assumption of their motivation seems strange). Things like Tailscale use Wireguard and should be common enough for AWS to know about them by now, I'd assume?
Getting Ahead: Pathways to Comfortable Career Satisfaction for the Aspirational
Federal investigators should probably also probe who controls that sizeable chunk of dormant bitcoin that's projected to be valued higher than a significant chunk of the US economy in a few years.

This used to be a non-serious question. But now we've got presidential candidates calling for national debt ceilings that will result in a default on US debt, and therefore crash the US dollar. Bitcoin's getting integrated into every payment app as if these companies are readying for an eventual modern equivalent of a run on the banks. Except with everyone moving their money to crypto instead of getting 'real dollars' to stuff into their mattresses.

There's a 99.99%+ likelihood that Satoshi just.. lost his wallet one day, or died, or whatever.

BUT -- assume a 0.01% possibility that there is something else at play with that early-mined bitcoin. Assume the _impact_ of a negative outcome with it will eventually be on the order of entire economies.

If you use common practice to calculate security risk by multiplying the likelihood of risk by it's potential impact, there is certainly enough at play here to justify the US government putting a couple agents on a search for a week to figure out who this guy is/was, and who now controls all of those apparently-lost coins.
If you have that kind of money, why wouldn't you do that?
Prime numbers with practical applications do get discovered. Most notably, I suppose: 2^64 - 2^32 + 1:

There are annual prizes on performing certain computations efficiently in prime fields for this prime:

It's a normal term, but I'm not familiar with it being used like this. This does smell like a "self improvement" marketing push.

Back in reality, the word is more commonly used in the expression 生き甲斐がある (ikigai ga aru) which means roughly "Life is good", "I'm glad to be alive", which you might use after sipping a really good beer for example.
Having it support rectangles would work for both use cases I think. Freeform is the worst of both worlds.

Many people think incest, rape, and vitally-risky abortions total something more than 7% of abortions. Not remotely close.

Knowing that the vast abortions are preventable and essentially extremely ethically lazy birth control may also be a factoid worth "evangelizing".

Ironically, 'science' and 'religion' actually oppose each other as to when "life" begins. Which ironically neither side can even cognitively process, because they are so blinded ideologically.
Declaring your misunderstanding doesn't make it so.

lol I’m sure those masks aren’t full of microplastics themselves. People were wearing them entire shifts and worse we jammed them on kids.

I’m sure those cheap shitty masks were absolutely full of wholesome healthy microplastic.
> Have governments become more authoritarian?

It's not just governments. It's people that support grandiose efforts against "misinformation", "disinformation" and "malinformation".

> Or has our energy for resistance just been slowly whittled away?

People don't have energy to hear wrong and dangerous opinions anymore. Everything dangerous to the current order should be banned, otherwise fascism is inevitable.
100%. People upset about this are just upset cause they didn't endorse their candidate. Trust in media/journalism is at an all time low. This is simply a smart move to not alienate 50% of the population. If individual editors/writers/journalists want to endorse someone, take it to your blog or website or twitter.
Yeah, we really are in denial.
Funny that she tried launder it through the Editorial Board's "judgement," in that case.

Yes we can infer. His political leanings are fairly Democrat. His media puppet is very left leaning. He didn’t announce this policy years ago when it would have been a nothing burger, instead just a couple weeks before the election as a splashy egg on face moment.

I can smell fish. His best information is that he was backing the wrong horse and now he is scrambling to contain the damage. Because it’s also quite a slap to the Harris campaign, he must not think much of their chances or sees a very, very asymmetrical risk profile here. Snub versus scorched earth.

We are going to be in for a very interesting four years.
That's basically the entire history of publishing.
The thing about "hallucination" (or confabulation or anything describing having false ideas) is that it captures the LLM behavior of not just making a statement but "standing behind it", making a continuing argument for their (false) idea when questioned.

Human do this too, of course. The LLMs are simply emulating this human behavior.
You’re suggesting there’s no difference between journalism that attempts objectivity and outright political advocacy which is clearly false. Perfect neutrality doesn’t exist, we can even get into a discussion of what knowledge is, that doesn’t mean news outlets don’t have an obligation to try. They did in decades past which is evident from a review of older journalism.

It's a shame it needs GM; I initially thought they were targeting producing an intermediate that they could just add to standard plants.
But banks also make loans, and do fractional reserve banking, so obviously owning bonds isn't enough.
Thank you! This is why I usually read the HN comments before reading the article.
This doesn't line up with the facts of what has been known prior.

Taiwan law requires foreign communication providers to be a joint partnership with the Taiwan entity controlling majority stake. This was a deal breaker with StarLink and the talks fell apart.

>Taipei has been exploring ways to acquire satellite internet technology since 2018, including in talks with SpaceX. But Mr. Musk balked at a requirement that any foreign entity involved in communications infrastructure be a joint venture with a local partner that would hold a majority stake. Mr. Musk considered this “totally unacceptable,”

Being that he's stated his desire to be a dictator and has an army of enablers to help him, it's not an unreasonable fear.

Obviously this topic is a third rail here, but I think it's important to say that he upended the political environment and we are in uncharted waters now.
They don't quite do that.

You will notice they only order US companies to do so.

ASML, however, abides by U.S. export control regulations because that was a requirement for the approval of the acquisition of SVG.

Everything flows from there.
Nothing, I suppose. I honestly didn't realize it's so contentious. I guess it just seemed kind of weird for "the news" to have an opinion at all. Why do people want an organization to tell them who they think should be president?
Being neutral in the face of a candidate who has promised to do what Trump has promised to do may not be the virtue you think it is.
> However, rather than helping marginalized students, these policies deny educational opportunities for gifted students of all backgrounds.

It's worse than that—if public schools don't offer the kinds of advanced courses that wealthy parents expect their kids to have, the wealthy parents don't just shrug and say oh well. They pull them out of public school and put them into private school or homeschool or get them a tutor. It doesn't matter why a public school is inadequate (whether it's because of policy like this or simple underfunding), inadequate public schools invariably increase achievement gaps between socioeconomic classes. There's no other possible outcome. There's no world where everyone gets held down equally.
get with your state attorney generals office, this is bait and switch and it is highly illegal.

That only applies (gives you a trigger that you should breathe when the environment is dangerous) if you never exhale though. Is that really an argument for the technique being safe?
US laws is not “other countries” laws. Linus lives in US.

Are you aware of any efforts to apply DBSP's theory to a general programming language/environment? From my perspective, DDlog was the most inspiring project in the field of incremental computation, but it seems like all of these projects just lead to implementations of streaming databases or other similar commercial products that fit into Data™ pipelines (no offense). Incremental computation pops up everywhere, from databases to business logic to UI rendering and video game graphics, and I have this hunch that if the problem could be solved at a fundamental level and in an accessible way, we could have revolutionary gains for programmers and programs.

Wait until they tell this guy about Fox News.
To be clear, the camps never went away, and we’ve been mass deporting for decades now. Support of ICE is a bipartisan effort. Iirc the only change Biden made was to end the policy of family separations. The rhetoric is massively different, but the actual policy is not.

I really wouldn’t hold my breath for a president that doesn’t fearmonger about immigration in the forseeable future.
I mean he still appears to be making lots of money, and moreover being able to bend the rules without any serious consequences.

He has his own broadcast medium to play with and noone has banned it (apart from brazil, but all he had to do was pay some money)

It's not a self-contained TPN compounder in a hospital cleanroom. It's a machine that has many parts that get wet with sugary water. It has parts that need to be cleaned that seldom are, and judging by the average fast food employee, would probably be better off left alone than further contaminated by them attempting to clean it. Google "soda fountain mold" and you will be stunned to see how nasty these can get. I don't eat fast food often, but I skip the drink unless it's from a meticulously clean place.
Why do you think what Fox is doing is our standard? Why do we need Editorial Board’s biased opinion. Can we not have a truly unbiased journalism outlet?
An engineer is someone who develops and implements engines.

What is an engine? Citing Merriam Webster[1]:

>3a: something used to effect a purpose

So yes, an engineer can make implements of war among many other implements. The people who actually wage war are called other things.

Port forwarding is TCP "next to" TCP, so that's fine, yes!

It can even be beneficial in some cases: If a host has an old/bad TCP stack not able to deal well with some network situation (latency, packet loss, you name it), port forwarding from a closer/less affected host can resolve the issue.

Happened to me once for the terrible old eBook delivery server from my public library when a continent away: It handled the long latency so poorly, a 30 MB download would have taken two hours. SSH forwarding brought that down to seconds.
What an odd view of history to imagine that newspapers weren't always (and importantly) open about their editor's opinions.

The idea of "objective journalism" is both ahistorical and unsound and mostly just acts as cover for claiming that certain journalism has subjectivity we're not allowed to call out.

It's far better to know how the editors see the world than to falsely pretend that they don't.

Sadly it's not only about (intentional) additives.

Plastics — including those listed — act as chemical sponges, soaking up and concentrating toxins present in the ambient environment. For example in a household the airborne dust absorbs brominated fire retardants and formaldehydes. The total quantity of toxins in these tiny particles can exceed the gaseous concentration in the air by thousands of times, so microplastics act like a billion tiny Trojan horses for toxins to enter the body.

So when modelling these risks, it could be less about the equilibrium amount of microplastics in the body at any one time (the stock), so much as the constant re-introduction of new microplastics into the body (the flow).

To quote patio11's "Identity Theft, Credit Reports, and You":

> You want to communicate with the bank in a manner which suggests that you’re an organized professional who is capable of escalating the matter if the bank does not handle it themselves. [...] Mean words cannot hurt a bank. Threats cannot hurt a bank. Paper trails, though, are terrifying to regulated institutions. Your bank’s customer support representatives are taught to evaluate whether someone looks like they’re competent and collecting a paper trail. If they are, the CS rep is supposed to stop touching the case immediately and instead escalate them to a supervisor or to the legal department.
No. You read the statements right. Indian judges tend to give such statements, sometimes even worse. For example, recently one judge in unrelated case gave a statement that “criminalising marital rape is bit harsh”.

The main problem in this case is that Wikimedia hasn’t complied YET with high court orders of revealing people who did the edits. ANI just went ahead and filed contempt of court case before Wiki legal team could respond. I’m not sure if initial order came with some sort of deadline or not. I guess they are trying to leverage the delay in their favour.

In my opinion, ANI and many media houses in India are partially controlled by incumbent party ( BJP ) either by incentives or manipulation, you can read about Income tax raid on BBC and some other media outlets for understanding their methods.
But it is not. They regularly make endorsements and call outs. They recently called for Biden to step down from the ticket, just months ago. It seems like we should not examine situations based on idealistic, non-existent scenarios but the world we actually live in.
From my experience with vispy, it is more limited than pygfx. I mean, you can always use gloo to get whatever you want but the "built ins" are much more limited than what pygfx seems to have. I really like vispy anyways, I think this seems like an evolution with some lessons learnt from vispy.
A TCP packet is a pretty common term for an IP packet containing a TCP segment.

Aren’t those minerals depleted by higher and higher yield crops that are industrially farmed and then shipped all over (along with the water)? How does the regenerative practice add back an equivalent amount? Wouldn’t it need additives that are equal in mass to all the plants previously farmed?
no they are not

News outlets by definition can not be neutral. Just look at the insane amount of stuff that the global news agencies like Reuters or AFP push out every minute, and on top of that comes all the state, county and local news.

The very act of filtering what to report to the audience is political in itself. Say, floods or other natural disasters caused or (like wildfires) made worse by climate change. Most of them tend to be ignored outside of the nation they happen, but not reporting on it also means that people don't grasp just how bad climate change already is, and thus the people may not vote for parties or individuals campaigning on climate change.
I think if Bezos had announced this change in policy in, say, Feb 2021, it would have landed differently.

When one queries a table though, it's only query at one point in time. Querying a stream implies that your result set is a stream as well, which introduces a whole separate set of complexities to worry about both as an implementor of the query engine and a client.

One candidate has proposed a day of violence and given indications they consider “anyone who disagrees with me” as an “enemy within”. I don’t think they have talked about televised tribunals, and they also have a … tenuous … relationship with the truth or following through on promises (even when baselines against normal “politician lie rate”)
If all Bezos cared about was having lower taxes for billionaires he could have simply hired a bunch of people who believed in that and had them be the editorial board, and they would endorse whomever he wanted.

The fact that he had the editorial board he had (1), which wrote up an endorsement of Harris several weeks ago for his approval, and then he suddenly decided it was better not to endorse at all? That fits cowardice much more closely than it does pure economic interest.

This isn't government censorship, obviously, but do remember that the only point of the Editorial Board is to write opinion pieces and have them published in the paper. That is their entire job! They aren't reporters, they don't go out and ferret out news. They have opinions, and they write them out and get published in the paper. And they wrote out an endorsement of Harris, and suddenly it was announced (to the board only slightly before it was announced to the rest of the world, according to published reports) that they weren't going to endorse for President any more. That's a fact pattern that leads one strongly to Jeff Bezos' personal cowardice as the most parsimonious explanation.

1: At least before the resignations come in, I expect the board to be very different in a few weeks.
These are not journalists, these are the OPINION EDITORS. You know, the op-ed page, the page that contains NO journalism.

It has been a long tradition for the OPINION EDITORS of newspapers to endorse one or more positions of various political races, especially the presidential race.

Best case senario and he's just bluffing about deporting people, removing parts of the judicial system, deploying the military on US soil against US citizens.

None of that is healthy. None of that is part of normal democracy.

In previous years, presidential candidates talked about policies, rather than divining meaning from a demented old guy (you may also point to biden on that one, he is still able to answer a question though.)
FWIW I’m not American. I think it’s more likely than not that Trump is the end of liberal democracy. They had it planned out for Jan. 6. They know how to succeed next time, and they have an even firmer grip on SCOTUS.

I used to fear for what this would mean for Europe (me), but I think it will be incompetence top to bottom. He had a decent crew last time around, but by the end it was Giuliani, MyPillow and the big dick toilets guy.
