Do I get it correctly that the only reason for the kernel module is to be able to show GUI popup live when an app accesses the network for the first time? Because otherwise I believe it's easier to mark the packets with selinux and the

Is the job market so tough/picky in US (I assume it's US by default since we're on HN) or is it because the IT companies don't hire people without CS degree? I get 2-3 interview invites every day on my LikedIn account ju

The thing that stands out in the article for me is that it wasn't such a well hidden secret after all. From the article I got the impression that an interested party could actually know that devices were rigged and pour disinformation

This is nice vim emulation, but why not take notes in vim in the same way? It can do all the same stuff and you don't need to leave the editor. vimwiki is never more than three keystrokes away...

Well, yes, this is true I guess. However, this drone is advertised not for those things, but for long range predominantly. This is what I find a bit strange. As for complex and expensive the first google result for "rc plane vtol"

I don't understand anything in aerodynamics, so pardon my stupid question: planes are the most wide-spread flying machines because they are vastly more efficient than a rotary-wing aircraft due to the lift generated by wings. Why then

Yes, this is what I'm saying. So in this this case you're trying to make a product that is both superior in terms of convenience, features and price AND has privacy included. If you manage to do that, then yes, there is a chance.

The right immune system here would be to legalize the drugs and regulate them, just as we do with ethanol. Then you can remove the funding from war on drugs and related entities. Financing an army of bureaucrats and militants who feast on c

It's not. Default wsl terminal is pretty much unusable if you need anything more complex than entering commands (read vim and tmux). You can install MinTTY terminal for wsl, but it's much more hassle then just download putty.
