> Wordpress is an extremely new framework

Unless we're thinking of two very different blogging platforms, Wordpress is pretty much exactly the opposite of "extremely new". Can you please elaborate on why you consider it to be extremely new and unfamiliar to a lot of developers?

Sorry? Wordpress hosts have been around for years, again, I'm really not understanding what you're trying to convey here.

You mean, aside from just about everybody; Wired coming to mind as a recent, big example.

I feel like I'm really missing some context here.

Amy Wohl's comment is true, but I've realized I can't pick out the right visual tools in any field on the computer unless I already know what I'm doing. This of course doesn't apply in a business setting where environments are set up for you.

Text based tools are easier to keep modular and advance the process. Without someone doing it, the visual environments seem to stagnate (anecdotally).

EU Safe Harbor Submerged: What's Next?
Is there any fundamental reason why IPv6 is faster than IPv4? My intuition is that the only reason things appear faster is because IPv6 communication is likely to occur using newer network devices (with newer strongly correlating with faster).

Edit: The only technical difference I can see is that clients are expected to do MTU discovery which would probably result in better link utilization.
So wait - if Facebook, Google, etc. just made sure that every time an EU user submitted personal data, it was routed to US servers rather than EU ones, they would not be in violation of EU privacy law? What if they then send that data to the EU servers?

Then (from the company's perspective) I've accomplished the same ends, at a cost to the user (latency), and gone from illegal to legal.

That seems pretty ridiculous.

Meh. People in power always say the militants were too militant and actually hurt the cause - whether it's true or not.

When you think about it, the only thing the establishment wants is an opposition too weak to effectively stop them. Winning movements almost always have a radical edge. You mentioned Malcolm X, but even Martin Luther King was accused of hurting the cause for black equality by being too extreme.

And even if all the militant suffragettes did was make the mainstream suffrage movement look more acceptable, that's still a huge impact for a numerically small group.

If Zillow can solve the "problem" of putting all the docs (disclosures, inspections, offer docs, title docs later on, etc) up with the listing along with making a network of handymen (to help out with prettifying a house for sale), most buyers and sellers will be happy to pay them 0.5-1% instead of the seller having to pay the agents 4-5%. There's generally not a whole lot of work in buying or selling a house including agents doing events like open houses and helping with "discovery" and the buyer-seller matching problem. The offer process itself is also quite simple and can be done online. That said, the one benefit of an open house/tour hosted by a neutral party, is that it lets potential buyers easily assess a house without having a biased seller in attendance. This can also be managed and does not really require a real estate agent. Zillow and similar services like Trulia have a fantastic market opportunity in front of them.
I am excessively honest, to a fault. It makes me fond of the movie line "I am too truthful to be good."

I am also equally fond of a sentiment I read somewhere that "Those who love brutal honestly love brutality more than honesty."

Real honesty reveals the genuine feelings beneath the PC surface. Those feelings can include genuine respect, caring, esteem, etc. It in no way is required to be cruel. If honesty involves nastiness, it tells you something about the person being "honest" in that way.

Granted, it can be hard to tell the difference at first blush, as it certainly isn't PC to be so honest.
> knowledge of where IPv4 would fall short and its 2.0 version, IPv6

This is a comical example of the now common use of "2.0" to mean "new".
The BBC news website used to do something similar. You could submit a comment below an article but it would be up to their editorial staff to pick which comments would be published. In typical BBC fashion, they would try and publish equal numbers of consenting and dissenting views. Later, they modified this practice so that "The comments published below reflect the balance of views we received." (their words).

Naturally, this method of commenting raised the ire of many who accused the BBC of 'censoring' views. Now anyone can comment on BBC news articles and, in my view, the comment sections are of such low quality, they are completely unreadable.

So in a way, as a reader, I preferred the old practice of publishing a selection of comments (a bit like sending a letter to the editor of a newspaper), because what was published was varied, generally well-composed and of managable reading length. But as a user commenting I can see how frustrating it would be to repeatedly submit comments that were never selected for publication.

> Good money losses value at a constant, manageable, predictable rate

Relative to what? Other currencies? Commodities? Gold? Money doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Good money is stable money is well-governed money. When supply and demand are tailored to suit time-specific economic needs, such as in periods of growth or contraction in order to avoid disasters such as hyperinflation.

> If a dollar is held at the end of a day by the same person that held it at the beginning of the day, some utility was left on the table.

In a growing economy undergoing inflation, yes. Thing is, nothing can grow forever. If you keep a dollar in your pocket during deflationary times, you are maximizing utility because you can buy more goods tomorrow with that dollar you've saved. So sometimes it makes sense to hoard and save.

It's all relative.
Is it not possible there is also some disconnect between a MechE and the technicians?

Yes....theoretically these materials work this way, but practically no one can manufacture this thing for you. It's definitely more apparent with SEng (especially because I'm familiar with the topics), but the real incentive of having licensure is the ability to revoke it and put liability on the licensed individual.

>Were they really designed from the ground up without IPv6 support?

Yup. It is simply amazing how many things I see devs push out that hard code badness (such as php ip2long, as an example). Intrusion detection that only will correctly resolve and send IPv4 to automatic firewall rules. Interfaces that truncate IPv6 addresses so information is lost. Who knows how many security problems are potentially added by this code that expects one thing and can get something else.
>He makes a bad assumption at the very beginning by assuming that 'good money' holds its value. I'll argue that most of the inequality we experience in the world today is a result of money holding too much value! When money holds value, it is hoarded. When it is hoarded, it is unproductive.

Whether inequality is morally/ethically good, bad, or neutral is a normative judgement; which is to say that envy is viewpoint-dependent, not an objective truth which must be minimized for any obvious reason. How can you criticize him for not agreeing with a particular normative judgement? This is not an intellectual or positive failure, it is a normative difference. Moreover, even if this criticism was valid, your assertion that "[w]hen money holds value, it is hoarded", is probably true (though you use the pejorative term hoard which puts your objectivity into question); however devaluing currencies forces people to 'hoard' real estate and other physical stores of value, which are actually productive (as opposed to paper or plastic specie which are not very useful).

>Money can be used as a measure of potential utility, but you can't just open it like a bottle of water and drink it all at one time.

Why not? Apart from this analogy making little sense, there is no reason to believe that one should not spend all one's money in a single 'binge' as opposed to rationing spending.

>Instead we should think of a unit of currency as a set of potential utility that is stretched across time from now to the time X in the future.

Again, there is no particular reason to believe this. You seem to be asserting things as true with no reasoning to support your beliefs.

>When you think of money in this way, it become obvious that money should decay as time goes by. Good money losses [sic] value at a constant, manageable, predictable rate because the amount of utility that the human race can produce in the future is a significant chunk less at the end of a than it is at the beginning of that day.

All the evidence I have ever seen indicates that human production, consumption and productivity are constantly increasing (though not monotonically), so you must provide a rationale for this assertion.

>If a dollar is held at the end of a day by the same person that held it at the beginning of the day, some utility was left on the table.

This doesn't make any sense at all. If you were to say that fields being left fallow, machines being unused, or books left on the shelf was a waste of potential utility, you would likely be correct, but small pieces of paper and metal are not of much use to anyone, and not spending them simply increases the value of the money that is trading hands.

A lot of it's just laziness. Perhaps we'd see more support if C included a built-in 128-bit type so IPv6 addresses could be shoved into a variable.

For cable modems it generally means moving to DOCSIS 3 supporting equipment, which yes, is generally faster.
It is having an interest in learning how to program. Not everyone has it. That is why there isn't much diversity in people hired for programming jobs, lack of interest in programming by women and minorities. I'm sure women and minorities can program and learn how to do it, just that a lot lack the interest and do something else instead.

There are exceptions like people in India that get a free college education and take up programming to get a good paying job in the West somewhere.
I don't think it's the fundamental reason but the checksum doesn't need to be recomputed at every stem, which used to be touted as a major advantage. (I imagine processing power at the router level is cheap enough now that this is no longer a concern, even for ten-gigabit links.)

I can help you out here: treasuries are more secure than cash holdings, yet are just as liquid. Institutional investors sometimes feel that it's better to hold cash than stocks/bonds at certain periods. Right now, Berkshire Hathaway is holding billions in t-bonds because there are no good investments to make.

For individuals, treasuries offer better yields than CDs and treasurydirect.gov makes it very easy to buy and sell them.

> Actually, I seriously question the practicality of any martial arts.

If in a fight, typical MMA training does work. First, it prepares you to get hit. Most people have never been punched and that first time is such a shock that people freeze. Second, most street fights end up on the ground in some sort of grappling which is what MMA training will teach someone to deal with. So, guard yourself, close distance into the grapple, and throw shots when there are openings.

I would advocate to obviously avoid a fight if possible.

Or corporations, or pension funds, or mutual funds, or whoever needs to park a lot of cash for a short amount of time. If your $20b pension fund wants to keep a 5% cash position they need to store that $1b somewhere and it would be a risk to keep it in a bank account (the bank may default).

>Scroll buttons: up/down buttons, move the list 2 positions

The first thing I would do in this situation is that I would sit down with Obi-Wan (or his hologram) and try to smooth out any problematic requirements.

"Master Kenobi, I understand that you've required a custom scrolling system, and agree that it fits very well in the unified look you're going for. However, experience tells me that this is a move we might later regret and have to backtrack on. Custom scrolling systems are currently very poorly supported by browsers, and I strongly suggest that we use native scrolling. The scrollbar can be styled, but our styling will not appear in all browsers."

And then, upon closer inspection... I realize that most of the requirements are pretty convoluted.

I'm not sure what you're referring to about the search space, but the detail isn't important - what you say here is not the case. When dealing with NPC problems, the instances form a landscape that's not like rolling hills, but like a mesa with wells and flagpoles. Most of the time you wander around, broadly speaking at the same level, and then you might, if you're unbelievably lucky, fall down a well, or find a flagpole to climb. But this becomes implausibly difficult as the sizes get properly big.

Sampling the space just doesn't work.

Doesn't work. Our intuition tends to be drawn from our experience in three dimensions, but it just doesn't work in higher dimensions. And with NPC problems we are in huge numbers of dimensions - thousands, tens of thousands.

Yes, I think I finally understand your question. My intention is to blog the question using my working and a hypothetical context. Before I make it public and I can get your comments, but you still haven't given me an email address. If you don't, I'll have to do it here.

I don't think that makes sense, so obviously I've missed something. I don't understand what you mean by a "P=NP exploiting solver". I don't see how a solver would exploit P=NP - that doesn't make sense to me.

This doesn't make sense to me either. In a proof one shows that the time taken is always less than some limit, regardless of the input. One doesn't talk about having a running-time limit - that seems irrelevant to the entire question.

For the unfamiliar: Anytime you are getting belayed with a rope, you are not bouldering. All but the very top picture are considered "top-roping". Bouldering problems are much shorter (generally under 20ft) and require you to exert a shorter, but greater amount of effort when compared to roped-climbs of a similar grade of difficulty. It's similar to comparing a sprint and marathon.
The issue I see from looking at the photos on the site is that they were flying in airspace that's frequently occupied by 'real' air traffic and were blatantly violating the rules about where/when you can fly these things. The FAA told them to stop and they kept going anyway. Those rules aren't just bureaucratic fluff, but are there because there are real people flying real airplanes/helicopters in those areas.

I'm all for the whole "let's just ignore the rules and be disruptive" attitude that some new companies take these days, but you can't just go flying these things into airspace that's been designated for legit air traffic and expect to not get the book thrown at you. Heck they were doing this over NYC, they're lucky the Feds didn't decide to go all ballistic with the "we're going to treat you like a terrorist" stuff.
