I use Cloudflare WARP to avoid ISP traffic shaping. I feel a lot more comfortable when my ISP just sees one outgoing wireguard connection.

I don't even understand why it became political. What incentive do people on the left have to deny the obvious conclusion that it came from the lab?

Well, the best Reddit app available (Apollo) is made by one guy. So maybe start there.

For some reason I had in my head that they had 12 engineers... wow, 2000 people, of which I assume at least multiple dozen are engineers? That really makes their product look much worse than it already did in my mind...

What I find hilarious about this is that Google introduced the .zip domain and then shutdown their registrar a week later.

You're lucky that you got in touch with someone who understood the report and didn't refer you to the polizei, like happened in Hungary a few years ago when a 17 year old kid figured out he could change the price of a ticket in hi

I don't think there's a big issue with an unreliable tutor; a Harvard professor can spit out incorrect information, too. It's up to the learner to cross-check and verify the information. If you're uncritically ingesting

I think it's much simpler than this. Either you're an autodidact or you're not. Children who are predisposed to teaching themselves stuff will now have more tools to help them learn what they want to learn.

The API is still there, and it must still be usable without paying, since the mobile app is using it. So setup mitmproxy on your iPhone and sniff the traffic to figure out how it gets its key, and then replicate that in your scraper.

As an outsider, when I see drama in the Rust community, I always assume it has something to do with 2SLGBTQIA+ discrimination or racism. In this case, I was surprised when I skimmed the blog post to see none of that, although maybe I was mi

That the screenshots are from the mobile website for some reason makes this look even worse.

Reminder: you're welcome to join the Ukraine foreign legion, if you feel so strongly in favor of the war. Otherwise, you should acknowledge that you want other people to kill each other, despite being unwilling to die yourself.

Cloudflare has made demonstrable efforts to accommodate Tor users, and I've personally noticed a reduction in the number of CAPTCHAs I encounter while browsing Cloudflare sites with Tor. They were definitely not required to do this, es

Note that this behavior is not enabled by default. Websites behind Cloudflare need to opt into it, and they can choose which security level they use (with higher levels necessitating more CAPTCHAs). Also, as someone who browses 100% of the

Why not? Most of the complaints people have with Cloudflare regarding CAPTCHAs and user-hostile behavior are opt-in features that are not enabled by default. A website behind Cloudflare needs to enable extra protection to opt into the CAPTC

Is my assumption correct that Yudkowsky is unmarried with no kids? If so, I wonder how this shapes his pessimism on the subject. Perhaps it's more exciting to be an alarmist about the future when you've only got a few decades left
