That blog post was referencing issues with FIB/TCAM/multicast state table exhaustion on switches with a small entry limit (3000), brought on by nodes with lots of IPv6 addresses, each with their own multicast group. All of the protocols involved in this are mostly contained within the same layer 2 domain.

A "stateful firewall" is generally a firewall that is tracking TCP and UDP packets (i.e L4 and above), so should be unconcerned with anything operating below this layer[1]. A TCP connection is a TCP connection whether running over IPv4 or IPv6.

[1]: Things become more convoluted when you have "switches" providing L3 or above functionality, but the problem referenced really is at the switching layer.

If you get a broken IPv6 address from a network, then that network is broken. It's no different from having a DHCP server hand out the wrong DNS server IPs - blame the guy who can't configure the equipment properly rather than the underlying technology. FWIW, after 10 years of extensive travel and hooking onto whatever hotel/conference/shop network you can imagine, I've seen broken DNS, broken routes and broken proxies - yet to see broken IPv6 though. Hey ho.

> The thing is, IPv6 proponents want me to do something (vote? switch? not really sure), but don't equip me with the ability to do it smartly. Instead I get derided by people who judge me for not being smart enough, or valuing my time enough (wtf?) to switch to IPv6. Like I'm somehow holding back progress.

I'm not really sure what this means. Everyone values their time differently, I'm certainly not going to judge anyone for that. If IPv6 doesn't solve any problems for you, then great. Don't try and pretend that it's not helping loads of other people solve their problems though.
Perhaps you mean Marxism–Leninism (which ought to be called Stalinism really). While the Eastern Bloc and friends perhaps aspired to Communism, they certainly weren't there.
Do you find NYB worth the price? I'm seeing $69 for 20 online-only issues compared to LRB's $49.95 for 24 issues. Just curious what makes NYB worth the 65% higher price.

LRB - $49.95 for 24 issues = $2.09/issue

NYB - $69.00 for 20 issues = $3.45/issue

EDIT: After closer review it seems NYB is simply larger/has more content. That difference alone comes close to justifying the price differential.
Well, not to me it isn't (native Polish speaker)... Yes I can sort of, kind of, figure out what they're saying, but it's probably 50-60% plus some intelligent "cheating" if the context is clear
> If, even with the hurdles of poor performing NATs, there is market pressure for P2P protocols, it's absurdly obvious the Internet must be symmetrical, not server-client.

I think there's a fallacy here. IPv6 does not solve this problem. Even if all devices were IPv6, typical homes will still have a router that blocks incoming connections by default, even if it is now a deliberate stateful firewalling decision rather than a consequence of NAT.

Firewalling P2P traffic effectively remains just as hard with IPv6 as with NAT.

The only way to fix this currently is to either stop using firewalls (very dangerous in this era of never-security-updated IoT devices) or to use IPv6 equivalents of the same solutions the IPv4 NAT world has developed (NAT-PMP, uPnP, etc). The latter case won't improve anything in P2P connectivity using IPv6 over anything we have already with IPv4 NAT.
If I've never contributed before, How should I go about finding issues I can help with?

It would be cool if there was a filter for difficulty.

The relationship between quality and price of goods is, in most of cases, an hyperbolic function. Unless we are experts we can't really feel the quality difference between a $25 vs a $50 gallon of olive oil. The same for wine. Maybe most people can spot the difference between a €2 vs a €10 bottle (wine in my country is cheap..), but not between a €10 vs a €20 bottle.
The table that is supposed to list some "random easy hacks" looks to be empty.

While there may be an attractive market, selling to the government is a byzantine, frustrating process that puts startups and small businesses without in-house contracting expertise at a disadvantage.

Before you commit to anything, study the processes that govern this space. There are lots of requirements for getting into the system — my company (not a tech startup, FWIW) needed to register for SAM (“The System for Award Management is the Official U.S. Government system that consolidated the capabilities of CCR/FedReg, ORCA, and EPLS”), Fedbizopps, GSA Vendor Support Center (VSC), ACES (the private company which issues a digital certificate), Duns & Bradstreet, etc. Then I had to bone up on general contracting requirements and pass some tests before I could bid … and then discovered individual solicitations have their own requirements, pricing restrictions, vetting processes, and sometimes huge delays (for one that I was interested in, the solicitation said “it may take up to 12 months or longer before an offer is evaluated.”) (1)

I am assuming that the Govtech fund has in-house expertise that can help smooth the way for new companies, but there will almost certainly be complicated processes, time-consuming bureaucratic requirements, and huge delays that cannot be circumvented. My advice would be to ask hard questions about these issues before going down this path.

Don't worry about those workarounds. They're on features that were deprecated. =)
GovWorks was focused on only a small subset of the government market and rode the dot-com boom. I've personally known companies grow from $1M in revenue to over $100M in revenue in a span of only 5 or 6 years in the government space, even in a lousy economy. It's the hype of Silicon Valley that you have to avoid. Government, especially Federal, is a market that is driven by different principles than most others out there, which many startups don't understand before they try to enter it. So they expect immediate returns and just give up. It doesn't work like that.

It's not that hard once you get used to it, and your industry seems to be an exception to the case as what you experienced is not typical in IT. The upside far outweighs the bureaucracy when you land your first $1M+ contract (or you could just subcontract and avoid the bureaucracy altogether). It is, however, a market that requires a lot more commitment than most startups are accustomed to, which is why they try to enter and then give up shortly thereafter. It requires a lot of relationship-building, learning, and such.

I've noticed, however, that military veterans tend to be very successful in this space because they are accustomed to the jargon, the processes and the requirements. Like I said, it's a learning curve, but one that pays huge dividends if you stick with it.

Plus, your local SBA office has a special government-procurement officer in there who will actually sit with you and go over things one-by-one, so no need to ever go it alone if you get lost. They offer free training courses as well in government procurement. The resources exist, but too few people are using them.

I don't see why would you need AHCI or NVMe support, the activity "reporting" is done at a lower level.

From what I can tell, this feature is called "Device Activity Signal", and it essentially says the drive can use the P11 pin of the SATA connector to indicate activity, and the board can use this to electrically drive the LED, there's no need for high-level protocol support.

Obviously this won't detect writes to the buffer, only when they are actually pushed to the disk, but when there's heavy IO, the two are usually correlated.

Here's a doc by Samsung about DAS from 2014: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisit...

As a user, I can tell you that while I obviously can't relate a single "blink" with a write to a file, the link between having a bunch of processes hung waiting for IO and a heavily active LED is quite noticeable - and can be useful if the UI is completely blocked.

Predicting that everything will be done by "machines" is just kicking the can down the road. Who built the machine? How do you know that they programmed it with the correct knowledge to make accurate diagnoses (in the case of medicine)? Some authority is likely going to have to certify that the machine is built and programmed correctly. So, whatever authority we confer on doctors know is just going to shift to whoever has to certify that the machines are correct, which, again we consumers will not be able to accurately judge ourselves.

In the case of a machine that tests for a rare disease, it could just automatically say "no" every time and have a pretty high success rate. Someone will have to verify that the machine is actually performing some kind of test.

It's not a dichotomy; it's a dualism.

The article does not address this directly, but it's sorta hanging there. Housing has a dual nature as a consumer good that looks like an investment. In the US, there are also direct and indirect subsidies.

> I'm sensing a Georgist vibe from this whole thing, but the author stops short of advocating a land value tax.

Indeed.

> There's some issues with qualifying what an "unimproved" value of land would be,

Not really - in real life. You'll see property tax assessments being pretty accurate in most cases. I say "pretty accurate", so long as there's dialogue between the taxpayer and the tax agency.

You can get a long way with Zillow-like prices and square feet vs. land area.

> and also on the valid uses of a resource being idle.

This is a much larger problem.

A really weak but convenient example is Texas v. Florida from 1990 to the present. Texas never quite had a bubble.
If the olive oil is marked as "U.S. Extra Virgin" or "U.S. Virgin," then USDA is randomly sampling the product to determine conformance. However, if the product is just marked as "Extra Virgin," then it hasn't sought USDA certification. Not all U.S. oils are neccessarily USDA certified, either.

I use California virgin oils for sautéing, which has worked out pretty well. As you say, the better Californians and European EVOOs are best left as table oils.
What will be the top 3 trends in 2016, that shape how we build our startups?
Hey there,

During the holidays I was thinking about how 2016 will be different, better than 2015. There are a lot of articles about emerging markets, technologies, but those are the focus of entrepreneurs. But I'm interested in what will change in how we build startups...

Here are my top 3 guesses.

1. Augmented productivity:
I'm a fan of the gig economy ever since I ordered the first $5 logo design from fiverr. And I'm just starting to explore MTurk. This year I'll put a lot of effort into learning how to combine these with workflow automation services like Zapier, and new AI stuff... I think such methods could multiple personal productivity. Inspired by the guy who automated 90% of his work.
http://www.businessinsider.com/programmer-automates-his-job-2015-11

2. Improved startup-building platforms:
It would be such a blessing to multiply the ratio of successful startups, and lower the pain of failing. I mean, 9 out of 10 startups fail even in developed startup hubs. That's one metric that we need to fix. Traditional incubators and accelerators are nice, but not too effective in mitigating risks. I loved how YC started Research (http://blog.ycombinator.com/yc-research), and even more, that there are now so much more startup studios (http://buildtogether.co/startup-studio-list), and finally there's a booklet (http://laicos.com/anatomy-of-startup-studios-is-out/) that explains in detail how these venture builders work.

3.Crowd*:
Besides perk based crowdfunding, there are more and more platforms where you can offer equity in your startup for support. That just adds to the option of the founders to get the money they need... who know, maybe even faster than angel money and with better than vanilla term sheet conditions.

What do you think, what are your picks?

@aszig
I don't accept the "it wasn't real Communism" argument, because real Communism has never been produced at a national scale despite a couple dozen attempts. We must conclude from the evidence that, yes, that is what real Communism is and produces, with real humans, which is the only kind of human that matters. There is at the moment no reason to believe that the next attempt to produce "real Communism" will produce anything different than what has already been produced. I don't see great differences in practice between the USSR and their eastern European wards.

Given how extraordinarily dangerous that all attempts to produce Communism to date have been to all involved, even the Communists(! you remember "Stalin" and the other big names, you forget how many of their own he purged to get there), the rational answer is to stop trying. Communism is a great deal more likely to kill you than save you... and by you, I even mean its advocates in particular, which are really prone to getting purged, and in those cases where they don't get purged, only at the cost of continuously looking over their shoulders and living in a high-grade police state. Advocating Communism in practice comes perilously close to advocating for a government that will kill you, personally, not "generic you".

A few years ago I built a Pi into a real JAMMA cabinet, bought an IPAC to do the hardware switches-to-USB work, it got built in about a day. It would have been a lot easier with this (although the hardware was easy, it was just a few software niggles that took time to get right so that the unit could boot from cold and work every time), and no doubt with a Pi2 it would be faster than my original unit. Oddly, it was the kind of thing that everyone said they desperately wanted, but when it came to sell, the sale price only just covered the hardware cost.

> Fascinating. I guess it's becoming really hard to find a bottle of genuine extra virgin olive oil. Odds are that the extra virgin olive oil from a supermarket is just some other oil with some chlorophyll added for coloring.

It isn't hard. Just generally, its around $40 a bottle.

Most people buy stuff with similar labels at $7-10 a bottle and think its the same because it claims to be EVOO as well.
I guess with IoT, we may see more client-to-client connections. You will want to remotely connect to your baby monitor/nanny cam, see who's ringing to your doorbell, change the temperature of your home, give an electric shock to your dog because the neighbour called to complain about the barking, etc, all that while you are away. You can do all that with a client-server architecture but a direct connection feels more natural.

I don't think one can make a meaningful comparison between Stasi- and post-privacy era:

* you could not opt out of Stasi, but you can opt not to give up your data voluntarily (at the cost of convenience)

* Stasi was centralized whereas "innumerable commercial entities" are, by definition, not

* snitches tend to report "bad" things only, information you volunteer about yourself tends to be "good" things only

IMHO it is easy but very dangerous to liken the two because the latter has its own, distinct nature, dangers and MOs which should be addressed on their specific terms.

Yeah, last I checked it wasn't playable yet ( due to a bug they probably fixed quickly ), but they were moving damn fast! I don't remove it from my steam because I love seeing updates come in. Looking forward to trying it again soon and seeing all the improvements :)
