But if IPv4 was the first version then wouldn't the 2.0 be double that?

IPv4 * 2.0 = IPv8

Why are we bothering with IPv6 when clearly IPv8 is the future?
I want one, but after the New Yorker article on Reid Hoffman I'm kind of waiting to find out if he likes it.
I've got a G1W. I use it because I don't want to get screwed over by an idiot in front of me. I also drive a POS in a nice place and get frequently bothered by law enforcement (stopped for under 5-over...or really?) and if you bring an umbrella it usually won't rain.

The most common close call I have in my truck is slowing down to stop in a right or left turn lane and having someone cut me off to get in the lane while I'm stopping. I've only ever seen close calls but if more than one or two people do that when pulling up to one turn then it's gonna be hard for everyone to have enough space to come to a stop without rear ending someone.

When driving my 90s compact (not my DD) in traffic I've had two very close calls where people blast through one lane of dense traffic in order to pull out onto the road and cut me off (I assume because they don't see me). Both times I went jumping over curbs to avoid T-boning or rear-ending them.
There's a fallacy here (what's its name? maybe just sample bias?) where you're assuming that we've analyzed this as closely as you have, therefore must be making as precise a judgment as you, therefore must have an opposite agenda to you, therefore must have a hidden opposite agenda to you.

But that's not how HN moderation works. In reality it's probabilistic: all we do all day is guess. There's no hope of reading every story closely and making precise calls. Not even close!

If you'd do what other users (including other users who feel strongly about mass surveillance) do—consider the tradeoffs and help clarify which stories are best by HN's standards—you'll get better results than accusing us of sinister silencing.

> Uber, AirBnB redux. Provide a service that people want more than one built on cronyism-type relations between entrenched industry and gov't

Not trying to be a debby-downer here (I'd love to see innovation in the industry), but this would almost certainly get stomped on before it could ever reach critical mass. Uber and Airbnb were able to exploit loopholes in existing regulations, and move quicker than the disconnected, regionally focused incumbents. By the time the incumbents (taxi companies, hotels) caught on, they were left flat footed.

The real estate industry in the United States is a very different situation. The incumbent interests are tightly organized and politically active on a national level. The National Association of Realtors was the third largest spender on lobbying in the USA last year. The only groups that outspent them were the US Chamber of Commerce, and the American Medical Association: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/summary.php?id=D000000062

As a result, the regulatory framework in most states highly restrictive and robust. There are few, if any, loopholes to exploit, since the NAR lobbies heavily on a state-by-state basis for uniform, restrictive regulations: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB112381069428011613
I started northern-style shaolin Kung Fu at 20 when I was in college. It was a great program. Very disciplined (scratch your nose without turning around first results in push-ups), very thorough. The warm ups and breathing exercises I learned are my gold standard for a full body workout that doesn't require any more equipment than the floor.

Nowadays the gym I go to specializes in Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I haven't gotten into BJJ but I really enjoy Thai boxing.

Something us hackers can appreciate is that learning the difference in styles between Kung Fu and Muay Thai is like learning different programming languages: you learn to do more things, or learn how to accomplish the same but in different ways.

For example, every move in Kung Fu has a discrete set of states and is meant to be highly controlled. Your feet are almost always flat on the ground and you move by sliding them across the floor so you can always be sure you're on stable ground and your weight is appropriately centered.

Muay Thai, on the other hand, is always in a state of flow. You rock back and forth between your forward foot and the balls of your back foot so that you're lighter on your feet and more able to react to various attacks. If you ever watch boxers/Thai boxers warming up, you'll notice that jump ropes are a common sight.

Funny, I never interpreted rules about not working on the Sabbath that way. I always saw them as rooted in the wisdom that you need recovery time, you need to rest regularly.

IIRC, during The French Revolution, they tried a 10 day work week just to try to distance themselves from the old ways. It did not work. People need a day off about once every 7 days when they are working physically hard and for long hours at their jobs. They suffer burn out and collapse when they don't take time off to recover.
> by doing as Apple does, only later and weaker

Seems to me that touch, pens, detachable screens and a full desktop operating system is Microsoft doing things ahead of Apple, and stronger.

Putting the same base OS on laptops, tablets, convertibles, smartphones and games consoles is, arguably, ahead of Apple.

Putting smartphone apps on Windows, Android and iOS is ahead of Apple.

Running a world-class global cloud service is ahead of Apple.

General Electric had 2 days of cash before they couldn't continue operations. We came really, really close to having the entire world stop working!

People are debating this in other responses to you, but you're absolutely right. E.g.:[1]

The Fed then purchased commercial paper issued
by GE 12 times for a total of $16 billion.
It bought paper from Harley-Davidson 33 times,
for a total of $2.3 billion. It picked up debt
issued by Verizon twice, totaling $1.5 billion.
...
Verizon spokesman Robert A. Varettoni said
that it was "an extraordinary time," adding
that there was no credit available otherwise
at the time.

Forget the debate of whether GE is an industrial or a financial, etc. Verizon was the 2nd largest telco in the USA, and if they needed money from the Fed then yes WE CAME REALLY REALLY CLOSE to having (much of the) world stop working.

If people are still not convinced, and they think that it was all financials, consider that McDonalds also needed money from the Fed.[2]

That doesn't matter if they're doing paired comparisons, as they are. 2 comparisons of a few hundred images yields far more reliable results than a few hundred comparisons of 2 images, because there are measurements both within and between images.

An analogous situation: if someone runs a blood pressure clinical trial, whose results will you believe more - a trial which measures one person's blood pressure on and off a drug several hundred times over a year or two, or a trial which measures several hundred peoples' blood pressure at the beginning and end of the trial?
Obviously the latter, because we know that there are big differences between people which must be measured if we want to make reliable predictions about the effect of the drug in the rest of the population, while additional blood pressure measurements of a person only reduces variability a little bit and helps only a little (because most of the sampling error was removed by the first pair of measurements, and further measurements leave the bulk of variance unaffected).
With IPv6, you also don't have to compute the checksum twice at each end of the connection, with IPv4 you have one in the IP header as well as one for UDP or TCP.
One of the challenges of being the 'commodity version' is that a lot of value gets squeezed out of the pipeline.

One way to look at it is that a laptop is made up of a bunch of parts, sometimes those parts come in subassemblies, and every time someone touches a part, a small bit of margin is taken out to pay for that touch. This is the reason that vertically integrated (from chips to finished product) has a higher profit margin, it collects all of those bits into one chunk.

For a long time the windows Laptop market has been all sub-assemblies coming together at the last stage. Not much margin left for the laptop "maker" after they pay for the folks who built the motherboard, the folks who build the disk drive, Intel for making the CPU, Hynix or Samsung for making the memory modules, Sharp or Toshiba for making the display, and then pony up still more cash to Microsoft for an OS.

Apple's advantage is that they tightly control the supply line, using their own OS, and by not licensing their software elsewhere can charge a premium price for additional margin.

By going into competition with their partners, Microsoft took the the only path possible to compete with Apple, be vertical. Interesting to see what that means long term.
Yes. If you're a US person or a US citizen living abroad, you pay income tax in all of your income wherever it is earned. And even most states claim this too. If you live in Colorado and travel one time to earn a consulting fee in New York you must pay New York state income tax on the money earned in New York, and claim it as a credit with Colorado. That means filing IRS forms, Colorado income tax forms, and New York income tax forms.

It's such a bureaucratic clusterfuck for a small business or consultant.
No doubt the company did stupid shit, but the FAA can't actually fine someone for that much money (http://1.usa.gov/1QXnT3U) or try to ban youtube videos (http://bit.ly/1Bzvaki).

Insurance companies will need to jump though hoops to access that data in a fender bender where you still have possession of the vehicle. If you provide it (in a dash cam video that's evidence that you shouldn't pay) you're giving them an opportunity to deny the claim right there. There's also a lot of cases where traffic is doing 20-over and 20-25 over is criminal in most states

This.

I liked the debugging features of IDEs when I had to maintain a gigantic PHP codebase. The hours I stepped through code after one click :D

But after I started with JavaScript, which brought graphical debuggers inside the runtime (Browser) I didn't need this feature anymore...

Also IDE get features slower, Atom and Sublime often have more up to date plugins, which allows the use of more alternative languages like LiveScript.

Solar and Wind Just Passed Another Big Turning Point
I've always believed that media consumption is zero sum; or at least has been for a few decades.

The reason is simple: we only have so much time in the day. Media consumption takes up a huge part of that. And while an individual's level of media consumption may rise or fall, it's relatively consistent across a large number of people.

I have a hunch the author is stumbling onto the problem of media measurement. Basically, as more forms of media are available, we tend to consume more of them at the same time. For example, in the 80s I may have watched TV while reading the newspaper. As we have added more types of media in the form of mobile, video and games, we just add more potential "double counting" (or even triple counting!) scenarios. Also, many of these usage measures tend to be self-reported; and the more dimensions you have in a self-reporting questionnaire the less accurate the results are likely to be when you add them up (rounding error, poor recall of actual times leading to "proportional" times, etc).

Media measurement is hard. We still haven't figured it out for online advertising, which should arguably be easier than other types of media since we have better mechanisms for measuring things automatically.

Things are moving towards the long tail though, so I do expect to see a continued growth in the variety of media available. But if you want to see a "zero sum" media in action, just consider that the average ratings for "Seinfeld" were 21 million viewers per episode. 20 years later, the most popular show on TV was "Sunday Night Football" with an average of only 13 million viewers. TV ratings have actually been on a steady decline since the 1950s [1]. So if you give people more options, they will watch them -- at the expense of other forms of media. That's a zero-sum market in my book.

I think your confusing things that look like programming problems to you, with things people actually use programming to solve. Millions of people have actually programmed a DVR. Programmers on the other hand tend to look at lot's of problems and thing "let's use code!" even if it's not actually a good idea.

Whiteboards are often a better solution than computer systems when it comes to patent care, because they simply have fewer ways to fail.
Part of raising kids is providing them with the means to excel - good nutrition, education, clothing, etc. In our society, this equates to money.

While I understand it is not fair to trivialize a typical stay at home mother, it seems we've pushed the pendulum too far to the other side, where the typical working father is damned if he works a lot to pay the bills, and damned if he cuts down in order to take over more parenting duties. He's either a workaholic male or a deadbeat. Can't win.

And yes I realize that some two parent families have reversed gender roles, but the statistics still show the stay-at-home mother and working father are typical, at least in the US.

[a] Journalists using Zillow's site would likely be viewed as personal or editorial use, not commercial use.

[b] Bloomberg probably worked with Zillow.

[c] I'm not sure EFF would be interested in this. It's pretty standard TOS language, and when EFF did get involved in the Craigslist/Padmapper case, it was (correctly) interested in stomping on idiotic CFAA theories of liability and the exclusive license point. If Zillow tried to strongarm journalists, that would be a different story, but they have not done so as far as I know.

Background: I was a journalist before founding https://recent.io/ and would often get approached by companies like Zillow to write about what their data showed.
I wonder if some companies have sufficiently complex operations globally, that they end up with mutually incompatible laws and would have to either stop doing business in a country or split itself in two to continue to operate?

At best, they were comparable to Malcolm X (making other groups look relatively acceptable).

Malcolm filled a necessary role. If white middle America hadn't been so terrified of Malcolm, Dr. King wouldn't have been nearly as accepted.

Malcolm's pre-Hajj vision of separation would have been like Dr. King's bus boycott but on a national scale and across all sectors of the economy.

Never discount the ability of uncompromising extremists to bring other parties to the negotiating table. Everyone's money is green.
They are not the first to invent an "RSA-keypair-by-password" scheme and certainly not the last. The main issue with these is the fact that an estimated entropy of English language is 1.2 bit per symbol [1], so even if you are using pass-phrases, you are still generating an RSA keypair with a PRNG with only few tens of bytes in randomness in it.

[1] I think this was in one of Shannon's papers, but not sure. It should be very easy to find though. Basically once you start digging around a topic of using passwords as PRNG seeds all relevant research surfaces very quickly.

Of course - you can totally offer discounts. Hence Redfin's existence. The key, however, is that you have to operate within the existing licensing law. You can't just act as a low-cost intermediary. This makes any innovation surprisingly difficult, since you incur substantial costs associated with regulatory compliance.

For example, the vast majority of your staff that interfaces with your customers would need real estate licenses in each state you operate in (along with the tens or hundreds of hours of state mandated education to get those licenses). This is in addition to a company brokerage license for each state.

EDIT: Just saw your edits, and that you guys are doing exactly this - good luck! The industry needs more innovation. :)
No. The security of the password storage in this system has nothing to do with that of ECDH.

I'm not refuting that many of the takedowns are impractical. They involve "first get into this position" but offer no practical methodology of "getting to that position". While the impractical wrestling example I gave has a method of "get to the position you are holding your opponents leg up" it doesn't necessarily make it any more practical because getting to that position in an actual fight isn't well... practical. It's only practical within the rules of wrestling. There are takedowns I can cite that are practical in street fight scenarios, and I'm sure I could find Aikido ones that are equally practical.

I don't practice Aikido and I'm not overly familiar outside of what few videos I've seen of it. So I won't try and argue "X and Y move would be practical!" just that "looking impractical and being impractical are two different things".

I shared your criticism and pointed it out near the end of my original response:

>That is where Aikido is being criticized. To get into a position for many of the takedowns is impractical.

The body doesn't bend certain ways and using your own or your opponents body weight is effective regardless of how much they appear to be "allowing you to". Any criticism needs to be directed towards "you could not practically get into that position during a fight" which isn't as readily proved.

Although you are correct, that if it were more practical you would see more MMA/UFC fighters using Aikido and that can be used for a supporting claim of the impracticality of such positions.

I mostly responded because "looking impractical and being impractical aren't the same" because a lot of wrestling looks impractical, but people know it works.

Another tangent/example:

This is a big issue within Krav Maga, specifically the tactics for disarming knife-wielding opponents. A lot of it is battle-proven and works and has saved lives of field operators. But while being practiced it looks impractical or "the other person is letting you" and so people readily dismiss it ("Krap Maga")
