  If you only have one offer, your skills are not in demand

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a VPN that is easily self-hostable and resistant to blocking?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, they actually block legitimate websites too, apparently

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Productivity Paradox: Why Technology Makes the Economy More Efficient But Most People No Richer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They have to pay the guy who did my job more, basically. This is because companies don’t really give raises adequately, so the guy doing my job actually will ask for more or he simply won’t accept the offer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a VPN that is easily self-hostable and resistant to blocking?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It does matter.

  When I connect to my VPN, the network sees that the server name is yahoo.com

  It actually connects to my server which sends the request to yahoo.com and then replies with the cert. So the network sees that yahoo.com sent the cert back to my client from that IP address

  Then there is a bunch of encrypted communication with timings and sizes that look like I’m downloading stuff over http.

  I’d like to hear a credible model of blocking this

  Xray-core is the one you want, very hard to block

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a VPN that is easily self-hostable and resistant to blocking?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because if you’re roaming it creates a VPN, basically through the Chinese network

  But it you want a lot of data, like for YouTube, you’re not going to want to pay roaming rates

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Productivity Paradox: Why Technology Makes the Economy More Efficient But Most People No Richer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I simply get “raises” by switching companies to the highest bidder

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a VPN that is easily self-hostable and resistant to blocking?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So, not resistant to blocking

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a VPN that is easily self-hostable and resistant to blocking?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Use xray. I suggest the REALITY + XHTTP setup where you look like another h2 server

  I use the v2rayng mobile app since I don’t switch servers much, I only have two

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a VPN that is easily self-hostable and resistant to blocking?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wireguard is not resistant to blocking, it is plain as day if you’re using wireguard and china had blocked it for years

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a VPN that is easily self-hostable and resistant to blocking?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t work in China, can be easily blocked by censors

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Productivity Paradox: Why Technology Makes the Economy More Efficient But Most People No Richer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone has excuses for why they are not successful…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Productivity Paradox: Why Technology Makes the Economy More Efficient But Most People No Richer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “I think I deserve more, but I accept less anyway”

  Maybe you don’t deserve more

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Productivity Paradox: Why Technology Makes the Economy More Efficient But Most People No Richer⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A statement without any meaning

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Productivity Paradox: Why Technology Makes the Economy More Efficient But Most People No Richer⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  People have always been greedy. The difference is systems to encourage people to be useful to others so that greedy people have to provide something good to make more money

  Good: legal systems that uphold contracts

  Bad: regulatory capture where corps make money without doing anything useful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Productivity Paradox: Why Technology Makes the Economy More Efficient But Most People No Richer⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wage theft is not merely being underpaid relative to the work you do. It’s actually not paying someone who worked

  Poor people get priced out of driving. If you can’t afford gas money you may not take a trip over the weekend

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox's beta feature "Smart Window" shared browsing and search history to AI models without prompting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Donald Trump is the most environmentalist president ever. With oil prices as they are, can you imagine how much less oil we’re burning?

  On the internet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New York considers bill that would ban chatbots from giving legal, medical advice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a bit different, because a search engine can give you 0 results. An AI is trained on getting the most correct answers so it always guesses, it’s the best way to score

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Buff your morality

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, let’s just vandalize the store instead of choosing to shop at another store

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI Is Developing an Alternative To GitHub⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Github is not source control

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Each battery won’t, but a factory making lots of batteries…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE depend on it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But you can’t imagine it doing a lot more?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Water supply where? In Saudi Arabia it could be revolutionary tech when combined with solar

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Desalination sodium is free if you want the water

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Desalinating water might be the best part. Usually, solar power has the downside of needing storage and desalination has the downside of big energy requirements. If you can do both at the same time, it’s a big win for dry climates with lots of sun

  Pretty sure if you asked it on stackoverflow you would get a bunch of responses to make it at home and then someone would lock your answer
