How much land do you have? Do you have water rights? If so, how hard/expensive were they to get?

What do you grow? Do you grow just for your own use, or do you sell some?

Do you do contract programming, or do you work for a single company? If for a company, how hard was it to get that set up?

How often do you go into the big city (Provo/SLC)? For what?

What's the biggest drawback (to you) of living this way?

The US _has_ been mostly self-sorting for decades now. It's one of the reasons politics is so polarized right now and Congress is incapable of governing without a looming emergency.

It's never as easy as just looking at the outcomes. As with any type of sociology, it's not possible to force large sets of people to do identical things for valid control+experimental groups.

Methods of taxation, tax rates, size of state government, expectations of government services, natural resources, macroeconomic conditions, talent of the population, and natural economic benefits all distinguish different states. There's really no effective way to control for the large variety of conditions across many states.

Plenty of people will still talk about providers that way, but it has never been about topology the way you describe. BGP is a mesh, not a tree. Packets that do have to leave one network are routed to the closest BGP peer. Plenty of small providers peer directly with other small providers (and always have).

It's also quite misleading to talk about the hostname once you've mentioned BGP. At that layer, the routers have completely "forgotten" the hostname, and are only looking at IP address/prefix to move that packet.

I understand why one might want to illustrate the fact that mail delivered via the SMTP protocol might be retrieved from the same server via the HTTP protocol running in different ports. But this is not a feature of TCP. The term "TCP multiplexing" commonly refers to reusing the same end-to-end TCP session for multiple application requests (e.g. more than one HTTP GET to the same server/port). Very different than IP multiplexing.

But email is also a very bad example to use to illustrate IP multiplexing, because email uses a store-and-forward mechanism very unlike HTTP lookups. A sender's email client just doesn't do lookups for a remote email provider. A mail client has a provider-specified SMTP server for all outbound mail traffic, regardless of destination. The client does use DNS to find that server's IP address. But the sender's provider's outbound email server performs an entirely different category of DNS lookup to figure out the destination mail server for the domain. This difference makes it a particularly bad idea to mention SMTP at all, only to say that it's unimportant.

I'm sorry this is such harsh criticism. It is extremely difficult to learn this material, let alone teach it to someone else in a digestible fashion. So please don't let this discourage you from trying to write a document like this. But it would be a lot more effective if you just didn't try at all to explain quite so much material in one post. Hope that helps a little?
>I suspect you could scale the 'off grid' lifestyle to around 1/2 the US population without many issues.

As you spread out the population, the cost of FedEx deliveries is going to grow. Now you can drop off goods in a city via a highly efficient train, have that switched to a truck, and have it delivered to the end customer.

If everyone is off the grid in the wilderness, that train becomes a lot less useful to deliver goods. Now you've got to reach a larger area to serve the same number of people.

> Web + Fedex means a lot of jobs can be done remotely

A lot of jobs can be done remotely, but that doesn't mean they could be done remotely without cost. Many people are less efficient when working remotely. I find communication to be much harder when remote than when in person, especially as issues get more complex.

That view is incredibly short sighted. People get better at being good people and killing them instantly destroys and chance that they can become better people. Killing them also doesn't allow for mistakes or for learning. Also what about the people dependent on the person who is abusing for survival. The abused should never be exposed to abuse but if their abuser provides for them and is killed then they have to go through another hellish situation by being homeless. I don't know what the solution is and what we have in place is barely better than killing them but it does sometimes allow for the growth of individuals.
long story short? There was a fork (called iojs) that moved to using semver and it used v1.0-3.0. It was then merged back into Node (with a ton of great changes to the leadership and development of Node) and the extra changes bumped it to 4.0.

But yeah, it's semver so it's more "we've had 3 cycles of major breaking changes" than "it's a completely new product".

If that were the case then the first step might be to somehow get grown up women to accept the root cause of the problem (young girls antagonizing other girls) because if older women are blaming the entire issue on men then they're never going to recognize that they may need to have difficult conversations with young women about their biases and behaviors in order to reverse this unfortunate situation..

Instead of accepting the responsibility of doing their part to foster an understanding in young women about subtle forms of bullying they instead prefer to embrace the victim role which is the view that little can be done to resolve the issue without somehow breaking free from their (imaginary) male oppressors.

I just saw this so not sure if you'll actually see this response, but rump kernel doesn't imply Xen or such, that is just a common thing people want to do with them. It just means kernel drivers that can be used outside the kernel. Anykernel refers to a kernel that can be used that way with minimal differences and without modifying individual drivers. So rump kernel is "libkernel" and an anykernel is one way to get a rump kernel.

I'm pretty sure that Antti created these terms, so it is an authoritative definition :).
I disagree there pretty heavily. There are a lot of C variants over there: Objective-C, C++, Pro*C, etc. (There are a lot of software projects that actually include a specific C pre-processor of some kind, check, eg. the C sources of emacs lisp, of GNU clisp, etc). As soon as you write a new front-end to C, you get a C variant, just like as soon as you write a DSL in Lisp you get a Lisp variant (and vice-versa).

The C world is a Tower of Babel.

Now, it's true that it's easier to do in lisp than in C, since in C the tools are external (you have to use flex/bison to implement the pre-processor) while in Lisp the tools are internal, and you just need to write a single defmacro to introduce your variant.

Everyone in this thread is wondering how EMC breaks into cloud computing, but no is mentioning Cloud Foundry. That's currently the tip of the spear.

Slick write-up, and I especially appreciate your personal story and context to mull over. I studied Curriculum Design as my advanced degree program, have worked 5+ retail/sales/customer service jobs, and also done formal classroom instruction. I like that distinction you put forward, because it captures what I, well, disliked about sales as a profession.

I love imparting knowledge, telling stories, and holding a person's interest - that is a transaction in and of itself. It's the end goal. What I had to do in sales was get to the very end of the discussion and then "ask for the sale" which always felt like a disservice to the relationship / exchange. As in, if I did well educating somebody that they needed to buy the movie Heat to test out their audio system, I shouldn't have to say, "So, are you going to purchase this today?" because they'll have already made the decision themselves. Sales is hard like that, and I can appreciate good sales techniques in both the soft and hard approaches.

...as to your story, it really reminded me of a write-up over at the AV Club on the second installment of the Atlas Shrugged independent movies. The film beats the audience over the head with dialog that only serves to advance the philosophy (or what have you) of the story, meaning it's really preachy and not very entertaining. I think there's a difference in audience expectations depending on subject matter, e.g. it's more acceptable to learn STEM material from a heavy handed teacher, but with personal belief systems/notions, lecturing creates push-back in many cases.

Yegge sez: "a platform-less product will always be replaced by an equivalent platform-ized product."

I guess that's true. If I had to defend that statement, I'd try to argue that a platform, especially an open platform, will be tested, poked, prodded, evaluated, evolved and maybe even documented by many more developers than some monolithic piece of software in some closed code base.

But what other arguments are there?
In a discussion of systemd history held here previously, it was pointed out that back in 2007-or-so, there was a large amount of interest expressed by various distro makers in adopting OSX's launchd as the basis for a new platform standard, if only it had been FOSS at the time.

I don't think there ever was a large amount of interest. In fact, the only party that studied launchd at the time (circa 2006) was Canonical. It was indeed licensing issues that stalled further research, but there was also another contender at the time being considered called initng, which Canonical ended up rejecting and went on to write Upstart instead, led by Scott James Remnant. See SJR's proposal and introduction to Upstart. [1]

Early systemd was a launchd clone; upstart also started as a launchd clone before mutating.

Upstart was never a launchd clone to the best of my knowledge. launchd was likely a spark that influenced Canonical to take action, but the design is pretty different.

Your musings about the "multi-runtime" convergence that systemd will allegedly enable do not appear to pan out. systemd is nothing like the OS X Core frameworks or like the Windows Runtime, it's much lower level than that. It's more of a middleware than a runtime platform (think Hurd, not Core Foundation).

There is also absolutely nothing implying that GNU/Linux will ever target Android code. The divergences are plentiful, with my article about an Android init porting attempt listing only a few. [2] Nor is there any expressed interest from any Android vendor to have any serious GNU/Linux convergence to begin with.

Not sure what "first-class Wine support" is supposed to mean. Wine is pretty self-contained.

If we don't, though, at least systemd is decent.

You're too big of a dreamer, I'm afraid.

FedEx works because people near you also need packages. The more packages they ship the more efficient they become.

Also, the US population density is ~100 people per square mile so chances are good someone within 1 mile of you also needs a package today. Sure, it's cheaper for them to drop off 10 packages at the same apartment complex, but even fairly remote areas can be surprisingly profitable.

You can live disconnected, while still participating occasionally in the labor market.

Lifetime jobs at a single employer died in roughly my grandpa's generation. And I'm not that young. My father went into semi-retirement in the 90s and he RVed roughly all summer and due to lack of connectivity technology at that time, he only contracted in the winter unless it was an emergency (charged higher rate!). RV life is a lot simpler with a house and mailing address. I spent a lot of time in the 90s and 00s picking up my parent's mail and generally keeping an eye on their house, which wasn't so bad because they lived kinda between my house and my work at that time, once I had kids it was more of a hassle but I still made the time. I remember how creepy it was watching 9/11 coverage on their big TV when they were in some campground a thousand miles away, wondering if this is "the big one" and should they be packing up to come here or should I be packing up to join them?! Also when you get too old/sick you just move back into the house permanently, or take shorter RV trips anyway.

Anyway, in summary, a home base strategy with "far less than full time employment" works pretty well, and if you're going to have "far less than full time employment" you need to do something with your spare time between work, and some folks like to travel and camp in their extensive spare time. So you end up with people disconnected and wandering the earth, most of the time, yet occasionally slaving away 9-5. For my dad it was voluntary in a semi-retired state of being, but mere education and talent do not guarantee employment for anyone, so I'm sure for some its involuntary. I suspect most of humanity in the history of our species never had a job, or never had a 9-5 job, they had a life instead.

My grandfather never completely stopped working into his 80s... I don't have any elderly role model to show me how to retire and do nothing. Personally when I retire I'm going back for the chemistry degree I always wanted and who cares if there's no jobs... after all, I'm already retired!
My point is that the same thing holds for appliance leads anywhere else. Only difference is in the use of 32A circuit breakers for the rings which then necessitates lower fault impedance to reliably trip the breaker. There is essentially no technical reason why the breaker has so large current rating as in Europe one 16A breaker for all sockets in whole flat typically suffices.

While the article suggests that preferred practice in continental Europe is to have one (typically 16A) breaker per socket, it's not required and usually considered redundant.

Another reason (and probably more relevant) for the fuses in the plug I can see is that when wire that is part of the ring circuit gets broken, the safe current handling capacity of the circuit gets halved and the fuses then offer at least some protection from over-current.

It seems to me that whoever come up with the ring circuit idea understood that it's fundamentally unsafe and thus designed in additional protection measures so the thing at least looks safer.

Goal would be to remove middle man and shell companies. When you look at the product offered by lets say Samsung, how many companies such a product would go after removing middle man, 5? Mine -> Parts Manufacturing -> Producer -> Distributor/Licensor -> Sales Point (Mine -> Some small manufacturer making simple parts -> Foxconn -> Samsung -> Shop in Vancouver). Thats 5% tax on whole product that will not have added sales tax anymore. Thats low, probably would lower the price of product by huge. And there is no tax credits etc so no place to exploit. As simple as that, so companies can focus on what is important, especially growing ones.
