Good news, privacy addressing (ex. RFC 4941) exists and is enabled by default on OS X (10.7+) and Windows 7. Privacy addressing rotates the host section of the IP address by default once a day, leaving IPv6 host detection similar to IPv4+NAT.

It seems like Linux may be a mixed bag (by distro) w/r/t it being enabled as default. I could definitely see cheap embedded devices based on a current Linux distro not bothering to change defaults to enable it.

This time fellowship is an experiment, so number of selected will be low. The goal is to figure out how to scale advice and work with remote teams. But I believe that YC will eventually fund 1000 startups using this program. Two birds are killed: more founders get help and YC discovers more talented teams/big ideas.
I always get drawn in by these things. "Here's a tool you know and love, and here's why it sucks and you need to change." I remember feeling the exact same way when I switched to homebrew from macports from fink.

Yep, that is a great workable solution without animal agriculture. I will be happy the day that "tissue" agriculture blows up, really hope they don't use that name though....

I think farms will see it as too much of a threat, and there isn't really applicable skills for going from a factory farm to vats or whatever the tissue is grown in.

content edit:

Ruminating on it a bit more, I see how you could be right for larger animal ag company. A dairy producer owns "So Delicious" coconut based yogurt and dairy alternatives, they could see it as a good way to diversify.

Tablets are also useful for watching video in cases where a large TV is impractical or just plain unnecessary. They typically have longer battery life than laptops, which makes them extremely useful on long haul flights, and easier to pull out of a coat pocket than a laptop. They're also typically cheaper; I don't mind using a £100 tablet on a train to check emails or whatever, but I'm more leery at pulling out a £1200 laptop.

> Software as a profession is one where you have to constantly be learning.

This is one thing that software shares with engineering disciplines
I have a verbal 'tick': I ask 'Why?' all the time.

When I ask it, I mean: "What was your thinking that lead to you making that statement or claim?"

I learned some time ago that regardless of MY intent in asking it, somehow, people act as if they are being attacked or disagreed with.

I'm just looking for context and trying to understand the reasoning process.

If we, as a culture, can't even ask "Why?", then I have to assume that (professional) real-time subjective assessment would be a big non-starter for people. Culturally, in the US, anyway.
Don't know about Dr. Orend or the philosophy of war, but the authors are typically quite well regarded philosophers, if not necessarily the world expert on X (if people can even agree on that).

That said, I think writing an SEP article is a nice line item on a resume but not the sort of thing that makes your career. I think the authors typically write the articles after receiving some recognition.
Affordable, efficient, reliable and effective video surveillance tech hasn't really been around for very long, and argiculture isn't exactly silicon valley, the people in charge aren't always very enthusiastic about embracing new technologies. I find it quite easy to believe that an owner of a dairy business might do periodic in-person audits of employees and feel that that's sufficient.

Additionally, Idaho is known for its libertarian attitudes, and around-the-clock video surveillance of the entire premises is quite at odds with those ideals. I don't find it hard to imagine that an agricultural operation with video surveillance is meaningfully less attractive to employees.

And finally, how bad are the attrocities in these videos relative to the conditions that animals are normally kept in? They can get pretty bad, but I don't think there's an order of magnitude of difference. How much worse is it to be beaten when you already live your life in a cage sitting in your own filth? If you are utterly disgusted by the abuse revealed in these videos, can you really justify modern livestock farming at all? Either you accept that we should treat animals as objects, as we are evolutionarily prepared to do, or you can argue that because we now have the infrastructure available to us to treat animals with respect, we have the responsibility to do so. You can choose a position somewhere along that spectrum, but if you draw the line between imprisoning animals in unliveable conditions so unhealthy that they are fed antibiotics to prevent the spread of disease, and beating them, then I'd argue that the level of precision of your position on the animal rights spectrum is irrationally high, and that it cannot be based in logic.

> If shopkeepers buy and sell armor, for example, it makes no sense for them to refuse to buy legendary armor.

The game does (to an extent) give shopkeepers a limited pool of money to "buy" from you with. You could address this by making 'normal' shopkeepers buy things up to what they can afford. The game could indicate this limit clearly.

"Special" (artisan/expert) shopkeepers in city (who may have more money) could buy things for 'more', but obviously those shopkeepers (in a world like The Witcher's) are few and far apart.

This means that you have the option of "quick, cheap reward now" or "slower, bigger reward" later when you need to sell things.

Obviously not a perfect solution (what is?).

I definitely felt way too "rich" early on and discarded a lot of artifact items that were useless. Dynamically scaling items would go a long way towards solving that problem too.
I'm sitting here running git gc and repack on about 50 repos right now, of varying sizes. We just actually combined two of our larger repos into one for productivity reasons, so this article resonates with me a little on that front.

I spend a lot more time on the build and administration side of things than the code side, and I personally prefer more smaller repos. Builds are faster and less error prone, less disk space is used overall (regardless of cloning scheme - I have used them all), and I do believe the separation and inherent difficulty aids quality at the expense of productivity. I'm about the only person in the company who does, though, and that tells me this discussion depends more on how you personally interact with source control than any abstract 'monolithic vs. not' ideal. Or that I'm crazy, but I refuse to accept that.
Or "there is a hidden limit we as employers have and there is another number that all of your co-workers have for you."

Yes, my thoughts flew to the same thing. This is a recipe for regular users getting stomped.

Allowing organized and coordinated commercial exploitation of unlicensed bands is a total violation of the intention of those bands. If you want to run your home router, fine, but when you turn it into a business that has the potential to cause a meaningful disruption of other users you need to either get a band of your own or contract/integrate with someone who does (like a cell carrier).

I understand; however, we see cities dedicating or subsidizing housing for teachers and other personnel. Also, companies while they are in business will carry that housing capacity thus taking that load off the city or town which isn't building enough stock.

In addition these would be normal units, not some bunk bed operations. They'd be no different from any other housing development in a given locale, likely much better than public housing.

I dont think we can discount it out of hand due to history. Other countries have varying success with these schemes. It's not that far removed from the principle of providing free meals to employees in order to make them more productive by having a shorter commute and one less thing to worry about.

Consider the documentaries about the livestock industry that present these operations as they are supposed to operate, and the disgust that they evoke in viewers. Now consider if that footage was much more available. I see two possible outcomes. Either people see that and realise where their meat is coming from, and elect to eat less/no meat, or people become desensitized to the conditions, and the leaked PETA-style footage becomes less apalling. The former possibility makes this idea unrealistic in practice, and the latter doesn't seem very good either.

I have a iphone, ipad and macbook. At home my go to device is the the ipad when I am not at my desk.

The laptop takes way to long to un-suspend, easily gets too hot in my lap, and the battery life all too easily gets turned into something that is just a few hours by the wrong running program. The power jack is located up in my office. It is a portable computer, but spends most of its time on my desk and is handy for several times a year when I bring it out of the house (and the last time I actually grabbed the ipad over my laptop...).

When I need a quick and dirty question what was that movie that came out in 1984 about that cowboy or whatnot pulling out the phone and browsing it is a perfect fit. Same goes for wasting 5 minutes playing a game, checking stocks, maybe see what is new on hacker news.

But at home while the phone is on me, the ipad is usually around the living room and it has all the apps the iphone has, but with a much bigger screen. After selling the ipad2 and getting the Air my only complaint about weight also went out the window. For casual consumption the ipad is my device of choice. A screen big enough that I can read articles, go to websites like ebay and get a real interface and not their tiny mobile version, read pdf's, netflix, play neat games, youtube etc. Given that it has the same charger as the phones there are several charging spots around the living area of the house so it is not off hidden in my office all day.

I have caught myself a number of times starting to browse the web on my phone only to stop, put the phone in my pocket and grab the ipad to continue where I was. I wont be bringing the ipad to work or around town, that is what the phone is for, but around the house be it the living room, backyard, etc the ipad is my preferred choice.

Lastly for kids while I don't give my daughter my phone or my laptop she can use the ipad. I am not sure how universal that is, but just about every parent I know does the same.

To answer your question the tablet is a better device for longer term consumption around the house than a laptop or a phone is.

The upgrade cycle is slower than the phone, but I am not just spouting my opinion I am putting my money where my mouth is and in fact I am expecting a Air 2 in the mail next week.

> I hope that operating systems and/or routers will provide the option to rotate each IPv6 address on a routine basis.

This is an issue when using SLAAC, yes, but a workaround ("Privacy Extensions") were developed years ago; cf. RFC4941 [0].

You can also assign static addresses or use DHCPv6 -- on your own networks, at least; you obviously can't control how your ISP decides to issue addresses.

How do you define "full"?
Some quibbles:

* URNs weren't just for ISBN-like identifiers from an assignment authority. Some of the early writing talks about that use case, but the key feature was "location-independent persistent names", for which hash-names have always been a good fit. Nothing in the relevant specs precludes hash-names as an URN scheme – it's not "breaking the spec" – and a number of projects have used hash-named URNs. While there's a policy for registration, in practice some URN namespaces have been 'de facto registered by use', much like common-law trademarks and a lot of URI/URL schemes. (Of course, the neat "URLs and URNs as distinct subtypes of URIs" view never fully took root, as W3C's 2001 "Clarification" note acknowledged.)

* Magnet-links were absolutely designed to promote P2P/CDN-network-agnostic content-addressing. But, they were also made flexible enough to squeeze in other descriptive metadata, aliases, or fallback locations as well. The JS-launching was an adaptive hack; the descriptive (and usually hash-based) content-names were the point. A key early use case was making a common, vendor-neutral hash link for competing Gnutella clients, but the loose stuff-anything-useful-in generality saw magnet-links adopted by other software (such as DC++ and BitTorrent) as well. The 'magnet' URI scheme was only ever 'common-law' registered.

* It's a bit odd to consider the algorithm the URI 'authority', though if I squint I can see a sort of funhouse-logic to it. Notably the similar URI-scheme that's made it through IETF standardization, the 'ni' scheme (RFC6920), usually leaves the 'authority' component blank, so three slashes appear in a row – but alludes to the optional declaration of an 'authority' that might be able to help accessing the referenced content.

I mostly use my tablet to:

* watch movies -- traveling (works ok with hdmi dongle in hotels too), when sick in bed, or when wanting to be quiet (headphones)

* play the occasional game (mostly board games like forbidden island, small world2, lords of waterdeep, etc)

* occasional web surfing if my phone is charging

I thought I would use it more. Occasionally I find I will use it heavily for a few days or weeks, then use it not at all for weeks or months. It is great when I need it, but I don't always need it. I seems to occupy a rather weird place in my digital lifestyle.
What makes an awesome social media manager?
I've worked with monolithic and project-based repositories, and in practice I've found the problems with monolithic repos are less than the problems with project-based repos, and the benefits of monolithic repos are more than the benefits of project-based repos. Certainly there can be issues at a very large organisation with very many extremely large projects—but most of us don't work at those organisations with that many projects that large.

I think that having one large repo helps identify cross-project dependency breakage faster, e.g. on a small team without fully-automated integration tests by increasing the likelihood that the person or team who broke the integration notices rather than the person or team who maintains the affected components.

There's also the issue, as jacques_chester notes, of shared components, some of which are far too small too small the be their own projects and which don't necessarily make sense thrown into a pile with other projects.

Project-specific repos make a lot of sense from an organised, a-place-for-everything-and-everything-in-its-place perspective, but real life is often quite messy and mutable, and the proper organisation for a project can change frequently (as the article notes); there's no sense chiselling it into stone.

I was the founding CTO of a company that did ~$100M in sales it's last year. My top engineers made more in salary than I did. And our top sales people out-earned the CEO and all his staff's take home pay by a quite a bit (except, occasionally the VP of Sales). Which the CEO had no problem with, whatsoever.

If it matters, it was a company that sold software primarily to large banks globally.

I think it's interesting (and scary) to consider this in the context of how smartphone vendors seem to be really dragging their heels on 5GHz WiFi on all but the high-end phones. If we're going to be broadening use of 5GHz, we should be doing it in a way that is interoperable with the existing deployments. At the very least, nobody should be allowed to ship a device that supports 5GHz LTE but doesn't support 802.11ac.

I hadn't heard of this, so on a whim looked at one article at random - "Nordtvedt effect", then compared to the same on Wikipedia. Here's the first three lines of each:

Scholarpedia

In the years just prior to Einstein's publication of his Special Relativity theory Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz showed using Maxwell's equations for the electric fields within an object of distributed charge density that the fields would produce inertia in proportion to the object's electric potential energy content...

Wikipedia

In theoretical astrophysics, the Nordtvedt effect refers to the relative motion between the Earth and the Moon which would be observed if the gravitational self-energy of a body contributed differently to its gravitational mass and inertial mass. If observed, the Nordtvedt effect would violate the strong equivalence...

The complete Wikipedia article is much smaller than many, but while the Scholarpedia version is much more complete, it takes a long while to get anywhere.

Edit: expanded, changed format.
I think the selectivity problem is less of one for programmers than screen actors. We can use code tests or Github for membership screening. Thus, we don't create the chicken-egg problem where (a) it's almost impossible to prove yourself if you're not part of the union while (b) you have to prove yourself before you can join.

Getting broad-based membership is much harder. This is an industry full of (a) young people who think they'll have investor contact in 6 months and be founders in two years and retired in six, and (b) indentured servants on H1-Bs. Even if we get 95% of the top 50% of programmers (and that's wildly optimistic) as members, most managers will just ignore their need for talent, in that case, and hire bottom-rung engineers, preferring that over being responsible for bringing in a union. It (that is, hiring bad engineers to avoid bringing in represented ones) won't work, but it won't hurt those managers' careers personally, so nothing will be done about it.
