Is there any page that describes how to actually get VPN work end to end with tailscale?

I am a newbie and would like to understand.

You say that from the comfort of writing a HN post. Do you have much at stake to make such a condescending suggestion?

Not quite. Stock market has real value. People buy things, consume goods, sell tangible useful things. The market is a reflection of that.

Crypto crapto is the reflection of a giant random number generator that is operated by both VCs and nefarious entities at the same time. It's a competition to see who wins this random number generator...

Crypto seems like the replacement for casinos gambling away your life savings at a desperate time.

I don't have a beef with you but the whole crypto crapto markets really need to calm down and stop stealing money from naive people especially at this sensitive time. Lack of regulation helps launder money even easier.

He immediately followed up by claiming that the number of accidents cause more deaths than COVID19....

The love for Elon Musk in this site is super strong! He is certainly infallible.

I assume people will name and shame Elon Musk too: still way over his head - thinking he is smarter than the scientists.

It's interesting to look back at these sort of prescient events and laud the people who got it right and ignore all the people that 'got it wrong'.

However in Bill Gates' case, he really was being realistic and not prescient given his close work with global healthcare. He must have seen up close how fragile this whole setup was.

It's a security landmine. IFRAMES, mixed content, downloading / rendering behaviors are all sensitive and may contain private information known only to the browser/user and not the containing webpage.

Totally get what you said IF the artists of this day and age weren't shilling for money. If it was pure art that was an expression of their self, sure, I agree it's art. But peddling mediocre crap for large sums of money should be equated to trash.

Most of the discussions around modern art is around who sells for the most amount of money. It's a numbers game, gaming galleries which exist for no other reason than to peddle crap possibly for tax reasons, and con artists posing as real artists...

It's ironic that I upvoted this post to agree with you - which is exactly the issue you talk about in your post.

Such a beautiful, elegant language. Simple to grasp and lets the compiler handle all that legitimate complexity.

Wish more language designers would respect code authors like these designers do.

It is amusing to me the sort of detached love people have for Eastern medicine. It's really a feeling of grass is greener on the other side.

In India and a few other SE Asian countries, the predominant killer disease is heart disease. There is no "Eastern" medicine for that.

"Eastern" methods work really well on innocuous diseases and symptoms because they really aren't medicines nor a treatment. Sure Ayurveda and other "techniques" tackle a few simple problems. But people actively seek such treatment for important medical problems: "a little knowledge is dangerous".

The troubling fact is none of the Ayurveda nor Eastern medicine is based on a deep understanding/exploration of human beings: instead they rely on folklore and guesswork. Very dangerous after seeing the amazing progress vaccines, statins and so on have contributed to the world.

This article talks negatively about "statin" painting it as some sort of a bad word based on one potentially problematic drug: the number of lives saved by the simple Atorvastatin-like medicines is really astonishing. I really hope a nuanced discussion about important life-saving drugs can be had in forums such as this instead of quickly reverting to the tropes of Eastern magic medicines.

Why would it take a single engineer 3+ years to build a Mario-like game with a tweak around time-mechanics?

I am discounting the artwork and asking primarily around the efficiency of the coding and development.

Each developer has a focus area. You might focus on millisecond level optimization; a web-developer might focus on content provisioning and rapid development; a data engineer might care more about sanity and robustness of data.

It's not clear how anyone can judge other engineers' ability based on arbitrary metrics without considering their engineering system's goals and requirements.

As an example, both Braid and The Witness have very limited accessibility; perhaps that wasn't a focus area of yours and again each developer to his/her own.

Slight tangent but why is the bottom portion of this article covered with social media icons? Hard to read and is distracting.

Why would an American government database ever need access from outside the US? Under what circumstances couldn't a simple IP rule prevent such a silly transfer of data?

I could never wrap my head around government databases (that need to be secured) using using AWS or other cloud with default security.

Curious, and being serious here, what problems are you working on and how do you make the world a better place?

Bitcoin is no different. It's just a scam on a much longer timescale.

I am a bit glad to see this come from WaPo and not NYT given the implication of ownership....

I work closely on ondevice OCR technology - something that has improved so much and still cannot figure out the difference between I and 1.

And that took many decades not even years and in a very constrained problem space.

Releasing a "self driving" metal torpedo even if it's a limited Summons should at least be regulated if not outright banned.

I feel like even a single accident let alone death should put these idiots behind bars.

I am honestly scared even of WayMo that I think unless NHTSA gets its acts together this shit shouldn't be allowed on roads.

It's often reactionary - people wait for someone to die and then suddenly you have nervous Musk in front of Congress and such crap. Why wait? Why can't these be regulated before allowing on roads?

And no, failover control is not acceptable given the past incidents and deaths.

Just listening to this talk scares me. The amount of errors - even in a seemingly normal, sunny day - is mind boggling to think people trust this crap.

How can we rely on the output of eight cameras? This is not a kid's science project.

It's all fancy neural networks until someone dies. Pretty callous and Silicon valley-mindset for such an important and critical function of the car.

Will never buy a Tesla after having seen this.

It's appalling that even proper science research can be fraudulent.

If only she also focuses on the much shadier and shittier social "sciences" papers that media outlets and normal people seem take at face value.

What's with the recent spade of coaching engineers for FAANG companies?

Seems like a niche "industry" with lots of potential cash grab opportunity.

A better name for their company would have been Oh, The Irony.

And we have VCs chiming Bitcoin as the hero coin and create new crap coins.

Unregulated markets and freeflowing VC money: what could go wrong?

Darkweb, murderers, VCs and drugpeddlers can help run this network of "decentralized futuristic currency" or whatever buzzcrapwords people use for Bitcoin ...

Again, given the number of spammy, crappy copycats, fake reviews bad products I have sort of lost my trust on Amazon. It's just super crappy.

Sears started by shipping homes by the way, it would be awesome for someone to pull this off in 21st century.

All of these efforts will eventually result in an amazing world where there are a lot fewer or zero crashes. Perhaps even change how cities or homes are built/organized. No doubt.

But the really troubling thing is the attitude and approach: this is not an "experimental software rollout" that somehow Tesla seems to advocate. You cannot use live human beings in real streets with very little safety net to "roll out" your self driving torpedoes. That just doesn't make sense and seems very irresponsible.

I would rather not have silicon valley mentality when it comes to cars or healthcare or even banking. Real people's lives are at stake.

I think given the amount of effort Benioff had put in, I do think he comes from the right place. But just don't have the same level of rigor and mental investment as say Gates.

He identified the problem being "companies shouldn't wait for government to take action".

Then, he proposed solutions that still seem to involve increasing taxes.

If government is inefficient in allocation of resources and has disincentivizes to actually solve problems in reasonable timelines with reasonable red tape, then perhaps letting private companies take on improving infrastructure or providing care easier might be a good solution.

Look city governments have huge cash chests: neither homelessness nor poverty had ever been addressed by throwing government/money at these problems. You need the right inventives to tackle these challenges. And frankly governments need to reduce the friction in terms of money allocation and regulations to get things done.
