How is openvpn easy to fuck up? I just run sudo openvpn file, and that's it...

Also, I didn't really understand any of your explanation about layers. How is openvpn an application stack? Surely applications are the applications?

I have no idea what you just said.

Can you dumb it down maybe?

Ask Martin Shkreli.

What does "allow p2p networks" mean exactly?

I'm talking about pills developed in the 50s, and which cost nothing to manufacture, and almost given away in most of the world except in the USA.

I've read some articles online, but I still haven't managed to understand the hype around wireguard. It's lighter than OpenVPN, but has more obscure primitives? Doesn't seem like a great trade off...

I'm more concerned about their interaction with addictive apps than with strangers on the Internet. I'm confident that I can educate them to have a skeptical view of the world them and exercise common sense, I'm not sure I can stop them get more and more addicted once they get started down that path.

I think that when people complain about the cost of health care, they're not talking about things which cost a lot to produce. They're taking about things that cost almost nothing to produce, but are priced outrageously because of some wonky market dynamics

I hope this is a good place to ask: what do people in HN use for torrent client?

I recently learned that transmission got hacked (more than once apparently) so I decided to stop using it. The alternatives seem to be deluge or qbittorrent. I picked the latter because it has labels (and supports moving finished downloads to different folders depending on label), which is a feature I'd always wanted in a torrent client. But my point is it seems to me all the torrent clients seems very similar, barring very minor features.

Anyway, what do you people use and why?

> Instead of talking about specific technologies/software/services, I'll give a quick rundown how you can achieve this in theory, and hopefully it can apply to whatever you're currently using.

I wish more people approached their software engineering teaching in this way.

Thank you for the great comment.

Quick, repost more memes.

> Most exchanges don't make any money from trading itself

Can you give a reference that doesn't involve reading some exchange's financial statements? This was not my impression at all.

Billions isn't much to the USA or the EU.

How do you know that someone is eating up Russian propaganda? I'll tell you: if when you say "Russia did something bad" their response is "the USA is something bad". Something something whataboutism.

But what I realize is that this is the biggest evidence of what a culturally irrelevant country Russia has become. Can you imagine, if a journalist told Biden "the USA is bad because it invaded Iraq" and his response was "Russia also invaded countries"? Wouldn't that be absolutely hilarious? It would. Why? Because Russia has become culturally irrelevant. Russia doesn't matter any more.

> tend to make things worse by turning firms into forced sellers when they may have been able to ride things out

What do you mean, may have been able to ride things out? They owe money they don't have...

Oh, you mean, if you wait long enough crypto might come back up and they're solvent again? Right, after they lost more than they had on the first bet, you wanna let them bet again that it might come back up?

Totally different. Yugoslavia was a deeply divided country held together by a strongman. When he died, if course it was gonna fall apart. No surprises there.

War in Ukraine.

I've always been proud of being European, but this event is exposing how shambolic the EU can be in some situations. Fuck, I just saw the headline "Germany says it can send rocket launchers in August"...

I believe git log is limited by the number of lines on the screen...

Communicating what web3 actually is would be a good start.

> I really dislike anti-web3 sentiment from nontechnical people, but I love hearing it from technical people in the field. Why is that?

You like the idea that you're a contrarian.

So I guess I was ahead of you. When I asked why something with no use other can facilitating transactions should have value, a friend explained to me "it's like dollar, right? To transact with it you have to obtain it, and that creates demand. Then Bitcoin is finite, and these two facts give it its value". To that I responded "so what's preventing someone from creating bitcoin2, bitcoin3, etc. Nothing, so the supply isn't really finite, and so it should have no value". And so I decided I was out, long before Litecoin came along :-)

I was quite young at the time, but I've since learned that just because something has no value, doesn't mean you can't make money trading it.

> I really love my Google smart home speaker and it's been extremely useful day to day.

There's lots of uncertainties on my life, but the fact I don't want a "Google smart home speaker" isn't one of them.

In fact, I just had a realization. If you have to say something is "smart", then it's shit. Then reason is, when a product is useful you don't need to call it smart to sell it.

You seen to believe that the rain America is helping the EU is shared heritage or something. It's not.

I have no idea what your point was.

That's like your opinion dude.

Could it be because this website is owned and run by an American company, and the largest just nationality is American?

> Reversion to the mean is more likely though, and if that happens it would make now and the near future an absolutely terrible time to buy.

Why? Couldn't you refinance in this situation?

As a European, I am deeply embarrassed of how weak the EU has been, and it has immensely increased my admiration for the USA.

Im not saying that the USA has had the moral high ground in the past few wars it participated in. Certainly not in Afghanistan (I think in Vietnam the case was less clear cut). But if the argument that the USA enters wars to spread freedom and democracy was ever true, it's in Ukraine.

Don't worry, this person is extremely ignorant and/or intentionally spreading nonsense.
