- Comment on Most minimum wage studies have found little or no job loss (2024) 2 weeks ago:
Each city can set its own. SF minimum wage is $19.18, while California’s is $16.90
- Comment on Most minimum wage studies have found little or no job loss (2024) 2 weeks ago:
Yes, more people make state or local minimum wage, but we don’t have numbers for that. But still, if you raise SF minimum wage a few dollars, it affects few people because the median is $96k (half of SF residents make more than this)
It’s not surprising raising minimum wage doesn’t cause job losses because increasing it by a lot hadn’t been tried
- Comment on Online age checks came first — a VPN crackdown could be next 2 weeks ago:
That’s why you need something more hidden like xray that can camouflage as an h2 site
- Comment on Most minimum wage studies have found little or no job loss (2024) 2 weeks ago:
Yes, because only 1.1% make the minimum wave

Okay, but there has to be a downside, surely?

- Comment on a VPN that is easily self-hostable and resistant to blocking? 3 weeks 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 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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

I simply get “raises” by switching companies to the highest bidder
- Comment on a VPN that is easily self-hostable and resistant to blocking? 3 weeks ago:
So, not resistant to blocking
- Comment on a VPN that is easily self-hostable and resistant to blocking? 3 weeks 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

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? 3 weeks ago:
Doesn’t work in China, can be easily blocked by censors

“I think I deserve more, but I accept less anyway”
Maybe you don’t deserve more

A statement without any meaning
- Comment on The Productivity Paradox: Why Technology Makes the Economy More Efficient But Most People No Richer 3 weeks 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

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

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

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
