77pt77on Meta exposé author faces $50k fine per breach of non-disparagement agreement

> you can be liable if you can't prove it happened.

Even if you can prove in many places.

Also if someone robs your house and gets hurt due to some noncompliance on your part they can sue you and win.

77pt77on Meta exposé author faces $50k fine per breach of non-disparagement agreement

This is actually the norm throughout the world.

The law doesn't give a shit about truth but it only cares about keeping thing running smoothly as they currently are.

77pt77on DeepMind and OpenAI win gold at ICPC

3 days of computation is crazy and definitely not on par with human contestants.

The paperclip trivial solution!

77pt77on Man jailed for parole violations after refusing to decrypt his Tor node

The court did reject qualified immunity.

However, the poor guy only defeated criminal charges on appeal!

77pt77on Man jailed for parole violations after refusing to decrypt his Tor node

The state has more power and therefore does what it wants.

Anything other than that is just wishful thinking.

77pt77on Man jailed for parole violations after refusing to decrypt his Tor node

You've had people in jail for over a decade at the judge's discretion because the judge didn't believe them.

And this in a civil matter!

Privacy is not a deterrent to that.

The state does what it wants and in the end it doesn't even need an excuse.

An excuse is a nice to have, but that's it.

77pt77on Show HN: A store that generates products from anything you type in search

But how are they made?

77pt77on Irrlicht Engine – a cross-platform realtime 3D engine

For a car UI?!

Seems complete overkill.

77pt77on Repetitive negative thinking associated with cognitive decline in older adults

Losses can be fatal and irreversible but gains almost never are irreversible.

Just another fundamental asymmetry in existence.

77pt77on Deluxe Paint on the Commodore Amiga

Written in C!

I always thought it was written in ASM.

77pt77on Chat Control Must Be Stopped

It's not the official name.

I'm surprised nazi is not part of the title like it has in the past at the national level.

77pt77on Chat Control Must Be Stopped

I do.

Are you going to the the "pedo" that is against protecting the children and catching predators?

I know it's diseingenuous but these laws are crafted with that in mind.

People that might take a real chance in challenging this are weeded out long before they get to these positions.

77pt77on Chat Control Must Be Stopped

For those complaining the article doesn't explain at the very begining what it is:

EU's latest attempt to squash privacy rights.

77pt77on OSMAnd vs. Organic Maps

Which is now completely filled with advertisements and limit on how many maps you can download.

It went from great to very intrusive.

77pt77on The Rise of Hybrid PHP: Blending PHP with Go and Rust

> Also no, Node is not fast. I don't know why people think Node/JS is fast

Node is not fast. It's faster than PHP and that is very clear.

The most cursory search and hands on experience will tell you that.

77pt77on The Rise of Hybrid PHP: Blending PHP with Go and Rust

As someone who is not a fan of npm/ts I must say I find this almost delusional.

TS is way better than PHP and node is much faster.

I rest my case...

77pt77on Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use?

Also true, but also happens in workplaces.

It will be even worse using a normal VPN so no solution there.

Also, if you're signed in it will be fine.

77pt77on Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use?

This is true, keeps getting worse, but depends heavily on the datacenter/IP.

77pt77on The Rise of Hybrid PHP: Blending PHP with Go and Rust

The fact that we're still pretending PHP is a valid solution for almost anything after all these years is a joke.

Not only that, but now we have these "frankenstein" solutions with all the interop problems on top of PHP.

Just shows that as a species humans really can't learn.

77pt77on Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use?

If you have a working tunnel the rest is trivial.

77pt77on Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use?

But does access to HK go throught the firewall?

77pt77on Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use?

Regarding your usage:

Organic Maps app can download all maps for offile and works OK in China.

It uses openstreetmap data.

1024 bit RSA keys is laughable. I'm inclined to think this was not by accident.

Idea 1 and 2 are basically the same.

Like I've written here.

1GB or even 512MB and 10GB of storage is very easy and completely doable to use for a VPN + HTTPS server

Traffic is super cheap nowadays.

Your real issue will be IP reputation.

77pt77on Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use?

This makes no sense.

On the one hand they do DPI with ML.

On the other hand a major player is open!

Something is not right here...
