I know the Hustle is a Hubspot content factory, but I got to admit they've been capturing more and more of my reading and (YouTube) watch time recently. They have fascinating topics and seem to be researched very well.

I google a lot (or rather, Kagi). I loved to explore the web when I was younger. But over time I lost any interest in trying to gather informational bits from increasingly shittier websites designed to have more ads and hide relevant information for as many ad slots as possible. These days I hit the quick answer button inside Kagi more often and just accept that I might have some false information in there. If it is critical to be right, I usually consult primary sources directly anyway.

Just incase you didn’t know you can append ? to any query and get a quick answer straight away

Actually, I didn't know. Thanks!

I've been using Linux on my devices for quite some time now. I was pleasantly surprised when I had to start 4k video editing work and could just use Davinci Resolve. 2026 might not be the year of the Linux desktop, but it's getting better day by day.

Hosting for their documentation would only be a noteworthy amount if they chose to host on Vercel. Other than that it's a Hetzner box at $100 per month tops.

Couldn't this be laid out as, We assume scraping and parsing liability unless it is ruled as being illegal, in which case your use would be illegal and our liability shield wouldn't help you?

You actually get more, for the 1500€ you don't have to mess with sticks yourself. They solder it directly on your mainboard. If that isn't great service, I don't know what is.

I don’t know why you are getting downvoted. The sarcasm in the comment is pretty obvious.

I'm not sure if it's sarcasm or not, but either way it's just true

This whole discussion is weird. The ETSC-linked sources do not make any statements regarding vehicle size or US American car standards. It just claims that European standards 'supported' fewer deaths.

I am European, I don't think big trucks are particularly well supported by our road systems but I don't think we need to look at American car standards to get the next 10x reduction in traffic-related deaths.

IMHO it is not explainable how in 2025 there are still cars sold without LIDAR-based anti-collision systems, how are these still extra? Systems to warn of objects in the blind spot areas are available yet not mandatory.

This reads like the classic western world strawman to me. Instead of looking at how to improve things we just make sure things are not getting worse. By burning a strawman, in this case trucks from the US. Which are best described as a niche market over here, but now that we have a newly defined enemy, we do not have to confront our shitty carmakers about technological advancements.

These people do not care about human lives, they care about politics.

You can take one sides complaints about “trucks” or “immigrants”, swap the word, and sell it directly to the other side.

It’s 95% a political football; the other 5% is people actually concerned about the issue.

One of the points was that European manufacturers will start making more cars in US purely because it is cheaper to do so due to the lower bar. Why would we want that? Our market is quite big anyway and this agreement is an attempt to shoulder their way into the market without the sacrifices that local manufacturers are subjected to. Besides cars from US can already be bought and imported.

Thank you. I was wondering what was going on at a company whose web app I need to access. I just checked with BuiltWith and it seems they are on Azure.

what makes your vpn verifiable? can i verify you run specific oss on your servers? secure enclave is just management's idea of implementing crypto. everyone out here knows that it is highly flawed and intel with their management engine bullshit can't be trusted at all.

Re verifiability: the point isn’t trust us, it’s that you don’t have to.

We built it so anyone can independently confirm what’s running.

1. All server and client code is published.

2. Builds are reproducible.

3. Each node provides cryptographic attestations of its runtime and routing identity.

4. Enclaves are used for verifiable isolation.

You can peruse the code yourself to see exactly why the transparency we bring makes legacy “trust based” VPNs obsolete: https://github.com/vpdotnet/vpnetd-sgx

It looks like this boils down to 'check the magic number in the code against the magic number our server gives you. It matches!!!'

Is there some indication the user has that your server isn't simply hard coded to return the right magic number? I don't understand how this provides any assurance of anything.

The SGX certificate is signed by intel and includes a certification of the hash of the code loaded in the secure enclave ("MRENCLAVE").

When the client connects to the server, the server presents a tls certificate that includes an attestation (with OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.105.1) which certifies a number of things:

- the TLS certificate's own public key (to make sure the connection is secure) - The enclave hash

It is signed by Intel with a chain of custody going to intel's CA root. It's not "just a magic number" but "a magic number certified by Intel", of course it's up to you to choose to trust Intel or not, but it goes a much longer way than any other VPN.

So now that they have such a good network, they decide to worsen it just so people buy their express services more? Damn it, business schools ruin the world.
