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?

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.

> 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.

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.
