I agree with this and have been trying to put it in practice myself.

Like OP, I was an avid reader during my school years and noticed that I wasn't doing it as much the past couple of years. I realized most of the time that I could spend reading books I was spending reading articles from my RSS feeds, but many times just to get a sense of completion (like an Inbox Zero for my RSS feeds), which meant I didn't really let them sink in or wasn't doing any thinking of my own about them.

Realizing that it provided very little value, if any, I decided that I had to stop that and go back to reading only when I have the time to do so at my own pace, and only things that I really wanted to read, not that I felt I had to read for bogus reasons.

Going back to OP's question, I do think that information overload is partly to blame here. At least for me, it's taking a conscious effort to put this in practice and ignore a lot of the information that comes my way.
Fine, we have more unskilled labor than we need, resulting in x, y, z.
soheil, you should note that blurring digits is often an ineffective way of preserving privacy.

In this case it looks as if the blurred data is only IP addresses, so unlikely to cause any real damage on its own. But API keys, passphrases, private keys, and the like -- don't use gaussian blur. Crop them out or overwrite them entirely with an opaque color.

Also, don't put anything important in /tmp. As a practical matter it won't matter much if no one else has access to this machine. But it's a good habit to get into.

You would of course have to replace the electronics with simpler "hardened" versions. Can't have your B-252 brought down by a cell phone :-) (let alone an EMP)

> For example, comcast uses prefix delegation to give you are /60 which your router (pfsense in my case) then uses for the internet network (it carves out a /64). However, this prefix changes! As it is not a statically assigned prefix, my internal devices renumber whenever it changes, it would make it a huge pain to get a consistent mapping for my internal devices (media server, printer, etc) were I to go ipv6 only.

Part of the point of IPv6 is that your addresses reflect the real network topology - when your upstream changes, your addresses change. The right thing is to ensure that your router is also updating DNS for your internal devices, and use names to refer to them. You shouldn't expect anything to have a truly static IPv6 address.

I was close friends with an "internet celebrity" ca. 06-07, when she became huge on YouTube. She did get millions of views (I believe; she was on of the earliest to monetise YouTube), ended up pulling everything off after being hacked and abused at her home address.

I haven't spoken to her in years but I remember the affect the depraved stuff aome people do - call pizza for delivery, leave things in mailboxes, hack the computer and steal private files, stalking.... It's just crazy.

"How the hell have we come to this ugly pass where earning a living takes up so much nervous energy and angst, in what is a rich First World country? Now some of it is due to globalisation and the fact that two thirds of the world (the Communist countries and what used to be known as the Third World) were largely outside the capitalist system, and now this has changed the water is finding its own level. Living standards in the First World will have to fall until they meet rising living standards elsewhere."

3. As the song "We won't be fooled again" by The Who states: "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss". It is human nature for Psychopaths to rise to the top. Until this is fixed, nothing will change.
Would be really cool if you could include some example JS client for this. I'm sure you have some for testing, so even if it's not production ready code it would make testing of your module much easier. Almost everybody will want to write the same code for it anyway, with reconnection and fallbacks, so it may be a good starting point for others to contribute to the project - much more JS guys than C coders intimately familiar with nginx.
I'd love to know why you think this way.

Many computer games or P2P systems work around the pain that is NAT. But with IPv6 you just... remove the workaround. That's always going to be better.

If you like the "game requests a firewall exception by making a uPnP call to the router" model, there's no reason at all you can't do exactly the same thing under IPv6. The only difference is that games that don't have all the hacky workarounds will also work.

All sorts of web pages. The tool will create HTML and CSS, the elements will use DOM flow and positioning, and grid columns if that information is annotated through our UI. The developer has to give meaningful names through our UI so that we can create CSS classes that follow BEM conventions.
Arxiv detracts from, does not add, to credibility. it's an open preprint platform after all. This is like saying "No way such an important project would be anywhere other than github." That's not much of an argument.

As for flaws, it's four pages. They can be written up in an afternoon, if the paper makes sense to its intended audience. Of course, that's not exactly HN.

EDIT: Very interesting replies. I'll leave this up, though apparently quite wrong.
I think that part of the disconnect is that economists look on a much longer term policy wise than non economists. There will be an affect on jobs, trade deficits, &ct. of any free-trade act for at least a decade, and it's not unreasonable to look at history and argue a time frame of ~50 years for markets to approach an equilibrium.

If you reframe it the discussion as "lots of you will lose your jobs over the next 50 years, but your grandchildren will have about the same employment rate as you, and higher quality of living" then you can start to have a more meaningful argument about how to manage the short-term side effects and the long term benefits.

Similarly there's debate as to the long-term viability of monopolies, as well as government regulation. If in the long term monopolies fall apart on their own and government regulation turns to regulatory capture, then you can see the economist's opposition to trust-busting.

The company at which I was working purchased a second hand VAX 11/750 system around 1984 and a Digital engineer came in to help us re-commission it.

Everything went well until the RM05 (256MB) disk pack performed a random-seek confidence test; it was then that we discovered that its feet had not been screwed down to the floor and the whole unit started to breakdance around the computer room like a deranged washing machine. Two of us leapt at the unit and held it down until the test completed.
It's a rare thing, but always nice to see open source projects take the time to document their design rationale along the way.

Yes, you've got the concepts and implementation correct.

The exact strategy for reloading (wait for all at once, load whatever is ready, how long to wait, etc), left as an exercise for the reader. For dev, I use a function in the shell that loads everything that changed (no soft purge), for prod, i have a function that goes in order and checks soft purge, then loads (if the 2nd module doesn't soft purge, it will have already loaded the first module, but it will stop before trying the 3rd).

With most things in gen_server's, there's not a lot of opportunity for lingering code, but sometimes it happens.

Mewonders why Google is developing this. Sure, Google is pretty diverse, but medical technology still seems a bit out-of-scope.

Questions of corporate motivation aside, however, this will never replace the majority of blood draws. The patent claims it is only intended for small samples, so if the lab needs more than this device can reliably extract in one go, they'll do it the old-fashioned way. Additionally, there's a high likelihood of hemolysis (rupturing of red blood cells, which releases haemoglobin and the rest of the contents of the cytoplasm into the blood plasma). The patent does not appear to address that issue (perhaps I just missed it, but I saw no references), but my wife (who is an ICU/ER nurse) tells me it is problem. That also severely restricts the range of tests for which blood drawn by this method would be suitable.
I have a friend whose mother saved every plastic thing she came into contact with. She was born and raised in the Philippines. He said it took a lot of deprogramming to get her to put the perfectly useful containers in the recycle bin.

When I was in Central America, the place i stayed at used plastic cups, plates, forks, and knives. All PET, all reused to hell and back. I miss that place very much, so I keep some plastic kitchenware about for nostalgia's sake. If ever people come over to eat, they avoid using them.

I get it that the plastic bottle is the best meme for waste, poorly planned production, and/or the callous indifference of advanced societies. But I pick up a lot of litter in my everyday, and every time I toss a bottle in the bin, I feel like I am throwing away one of humankind's greatest inventions. Tiny nurdles melted and stretched into useful shales that could last for generations! Feather light; strong and flexible. What an amazing thing to just throw on the ground while you head off to be a cog in some clunky corporate machine built in the image of steam technology.

Hate on the bottle if you must; I'm just going to use the little guys for whatever they are useful for.

Edit: grammar
It is not superficial or trivial at all. This proposal helps to ease the cognitive load required when reading or debugging code at least for the straightforward cases and makes writing code even more interesting and intuitive.
glances (which i just discovered recently) is pretty awesome, definitely something i'll try out more next time i need something similar.

Tesla Interview: Everything Is Light(1899)
> Cell phones require reception.

This seems the biggest problem. While there's good reception at home, on vacation we went some places where there was no signal. That's worse than the days before cellphones were ubiquitous because payphones aren't around much anymore.

> 2. Cell phones require power. In a prolonged power outage

A prolonged power outage is one case where solar chargers and portable battery chargers come in really handy. They also work if you are somewhere away from outlets for awhile, while land lines don't.

> 3. Cell phones get misplaced

True, but the difference between one landline per house (single point of failure) vs many cellphones (one per person) makes up for that somewhat.
The "client-less" approach would be particularly nice for use with IoT devices which don't have enough CPU/memory to run a beefy pub/sub client (which is typical of other solutions). So that's nice.

Is there a way to perform access control on the backend? E.g. Is there a way to prevent a specific user from subscribing to a specific channel (if they are not allowed)? Or is this specifically designed to deal only with public channels (that anyone can publish/subscribe to)?

Associating oneself with a terrorist group is not a dumb comment, the claim is considered national security concern, which ultimately turns into a crime. Spreading hate messages is a crime. Spreading false information about cyber attack is a crime.

HN is responsible to report crimes if there's crime. Because HN is hosted on the U.S. soil, given this is a "dumb" claim supporting ISIS, when HN report to authority, the report would go to FBI.

We cannot take dumb cyber crime dumb. You do not know who is the next attacker. We have had US citizen fleeting to Syria to join ISIS, and give the recent attack in Cali, the fear of domestic attack is not imaginary.

How does a router go about doing that with SLAAC? Running dhcp6 is something I would like to avoid. Maybe Bonjour/mDNS are just going to be far more prevalent in the ipv6 world.

For most devices, a constantly changing IP is well and good (eg ipv6 privacy extensions). However, for servers it is less than desirable.
@dang, was this manually penalized? Or is it a false positive to the flamewar detector?

I presume the most practical application of this would be glucose testing for diabetics. There are many people who would prefer not to be sticking their fingertips all the time.
Nice idea, but needs a bit of refactoring:

hardcoded paths like '/tmp/.ssh2_list' should not be used. This is insecure and wouldn't work on (most) multi user systems. Something like os.path.expanduser("~/.cache/ssh2_list") should be used instead.

f = open(cache_file_list, 'w')
f.write(output)
f.close()

can be written as

with open(cache_file_list, 'w') as f:
f.write(output)

This:

i = 0
for instance in all_instances:
i += 1
#..
print '%-4s%-55s%-30s' % ('[' + str(i) + ']',
instance['PublicDnsName'], name)

Simplifies to:

for i, instance in enumerate(all_instances, 1):
choice = '[%d]' % i
name = extract_name(instance) #function instead of copy/paste
print '%-4s %-55s %-30s' % (choice, instance['PublicDnsName'], name)

Also would kind of make more sense to support matching on the name of the instance rather than requiring a number. In your case, 'ssh2 cron' makes a bit more sense than 'ssh2 0'
This was filed also before the re-org to Alphabet. I'd imagine that future patient filings would say Calico or Alphabet instead of Google Inc.
„...understated how healthy a vegan diet is...“ One question always crosses my mind when I hear this, maybe someone knows an answer here on HN.

It seems easy to tell the negative effects of eating meat (might cause cancer, etc). But are all the effects of not eating animal products at all in the long-term well known? And I don't mean not eating animal products for 1 year or 10 years but for multiple generations.

Will people who have not eaten animal products for 1000 years still have a life expectancy similiar to the general population (I guess animal product-eaters)? Will they have more/less diseases, higher/lower IQ, etc.
Science has shown that:

- Animals are mostly likely sentient and feel pain and can suffer like we do [1]

- Pigs are as smart or smarter than small children [2]

- We don't need to enslave and kill animals anymore to survive [3]

- Large scale animal farming is harmful to the environment [4]

- Working in a slaughterhouse can cause PTSD and has other emotional toll on workers [5]

The main reason why we still eat meat is because it's cultural and because we like the taste of it.

So considering the above, it's highly illogical to continue this myth of needing animal protein.

The future of food is plant-based and we don't have to give up the taste and texture that meat products currently provide. There are alternative products like http://beyondmeat.com that are superior to meat.

If you can opt out of the perverted and insane system that the meat industry is, why wouldn't you?

The general debt problem is that there must be sufficient growth to eclipse the debt over time. This is the only way that it can work.

If increases in the money supply are not sufficient to enable/support an increase in GDP, then that's rather a Catch-22. This depends on one hairy bit of psychology - either create value, you value-creators or we'll have inflation. No slacking, as they can now do.

It does not help that QE{I,II,III} were "we are increasing the money supply, but we are not really increasing the money supply."
