There are possible operational security gains that can be permitted by ipv6, if operations groups permit...

For example, because of NAT and dynamic ip addrs allocation, my VOIP provider pretty much has to accept any ipv4 address in the world. My ISP's allocations are numerous and non-contiguous and my RFC1918 LAN address is meaningless from a security perspective. So anyone on the planet can log into my VOIP provider as if they're me, if they obtain my login info. That's kind of dumb.

However, with ipv6, with significant operational changes, it would be trivial to set up my account and firewall such that my VOIP device only talks to one specific providers /128 and my provider's account and firewall will only talk to my one very specific /128. Yeah yeah there are load balancing issues and device replacement issues such that a sane provider would operate on /64 sized networks both at their data center and my house, not individual devices. But it would be immensely more secure than ipv4, anyway.

There are other operational advantages. Currently with ipv4 companies usually don't have "an allocation" they have many, maybe dozens of little /27 here and a /28 there as they added devices. In the ipv6 world of the future companies will get a single /56 or maybe a /48 and call it good. So you get DDOSed or attacked or whatever, there's exactly one address range to block. Not 50 little ones depending on random DHCP address assignments. It'll be a much faster and simpler world. Doing egress filtering? They'll be one block to permit, thats all. Just one rule, not 75.

DAS in SATA is pushed back over the power cable (pin 11) not the data connector like in ATA/IDE drives it's pretty much meaningless and up the the drive manufacturer to say if it's even supported, which is why for dekstop drives that are fed directly from the power supply the LED activity monitoring doesn't work at all and depending on your BIOS will either be off or just randomly signaling at best based on some data from your PCH.

Samsung for example only supports it on the DC (datacenter) series of their drives which is for enterprise storage the DAS in this case is only enabled in certain modes to note if the drive is active or spare/standby or to identify a specific drive there is no actual write/read iop activity feed back in SATA drives.

Also dear lord was that document auto-translated? I've expected this level of English from a 3rd tier Chinese OEM not Samsung...

>4. Samsung SSDs for data centers are

Basically, Samsung SSD 845DC PRO and 845DC EVO support the SATA 3.1 specifications. However, Samsung has adjusted only
the DAS feature as “enabled” by default to make the LED blink regardless of the SATA specifications in the host systems.
BOOM also has virtual memory support. But yes, if you have a Zedboard, you can run the reference RTL yourself. Of course, those things are pretty costly, so I understand if you'd like to see someone else do it.
There was no strange bag in the public service announcement. Only "if you see something, say something" and information about law enforcement offices inside the underground stations where the snitches are supposed to go and point out that some weird tourist is taking photos of vital infrastructure.

If you find all this normal, there's something wrong with you. You got used to living in fear. Got used to needing to blend in even if you're doing nothing wrong.

I bet you also got used to those neighborhood watch signs warning you that loitering and cruising will be reported to the police, even if they are not illegal.

You already live in East Germany, you just don't know it yet.

And this figure only covers government IT procurement...

When you look at how government has traditionally interacted with citizens, it's indistinguishable from a monopoly service market. In the past, this was the only feasible way to deliver many government services. However, the result is the same as any other market monopoly: inefficient production and above welfare maximising pricing (albeit indirectly paid via taxation).

Government Web APIs fundamentally change this, and I'm not just talking about 'open data'. A whole bunch of monopoly markets suddenly become highly competitive markets (especially since digital service production tends to occur at around 0 marginal cost). The value to the economy could be many times the figure discussed in the OPs article. Tim O'Reilly was so far ahead of the times when he published his chapter on 'Government as a Platform' in 2010 (http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1234000000774/ch02.htm...)

More recently, in Australia they've just set up their own (kinda crappier) version of the UK GDS and published an API design guide. I think the excerpt from this article basically sums it up (http://www.themandarin.com.au/48771-dto-make-creating-apis-m...):

"However despite all these challenges, the cause [government APIs] is a great one and could do more to transform how government IT operates than many more public steps.

If the DTO [Australian GDS] can pull this off, have agencies fall in line and have APIs start rolling off government IT ‘production lines’, it will have single-handedly justified its own existence and transformed how government works, even if it doesn’t achieve anything else in the next few years."
If you live in an area where you have a choice of ISP then at least inquire about whether they support IPv6. Chances are if you have a choice the factors other than IPv6 will make more of a difference. I.e. I'd have a hard time recommending an IPv6 enabled 6Mbit DSL connection over a 100Mbit cable one without.

I've certainly kept ISP choices in mind when choosing which community or neighborhood to live in. Ironically I find myself looking for places with Comcast because they've had solid IPv6 support for years.

If you are involved in a decision making capacity with a company that offers services over the internet, try to pick equipment, ISPs, SaaS vendors that use IPv6 where possible. With a few notable exceptions (rrrrrrr AWS) its not particularly difficult anymore. If you are at trade shows, quiz vendors about their IPv6 support.

Lots of ISPs have gotten on board recently at the cores of their networks but CPE equipment is often old (DOCSIS 2 modems, WRT54G bases). This holiday when I was visiting family I took a few minutes to swap out their ancient router for one that supports IPv6. As a result they'll also get faster and more reliable Wifi now so its often an easy sell for other reasons.
Where are you getting the "19 ivory tower academics and 1 guy from Bell Labs" from?

Per [0][1] it was:

Allard (Microsoft), Steve Bellovin (AT&T), Jim Bound (Digital Equipment Corporation), Ross Callon (Wellfleet), Brian Carpenter (CERN), Dave Clark (MIT), John Curran (NEARNET), Steve Deering (Xerox), Dino Farinacci (Cisco), Paul Francis (NTT), Eric Fleischmann (Boeing), Mark Knopper (Ameritech), Greg Minshall (Novell), Rob Ullmann (Lotus), and Lixia Zhang (Xerox).

Almost none of which are academics and it wasn't the 1980s.

For the most part, you should avoid Italian brands of olive oil (sold outside of Italy). They mix Greek, Spanish, Portuguese olive oil, then label it Italian for branding purposes, and the content is never virgin or extra virgin. The labelling is misleading on purpose. If you can find, go with either Greek or Portuguese. Much less adulterated olive oil.
Just curious - does anyone know how much it went for?
It's just a quirky RPG with western culture as understood by the Japanese. You fight with baseball bats and frying pans instead of swords and bows. Your enemies are zombies, cultists, aliens, and bike gangs. Your dad gives you your allowance which you collect over ATM. The towns you visit are called Onett, Twoson, Threed, and Fourside, because their only importance is the order in which they appear in the game. Depending on the version you play, you run around in your pajamas or birthday suit because you just got out of bed.

It's not a game you play so much for the mechanics, which are not bad, but not hugely novel. At the time, when all console RPGs were based on high fantasy, a quirky RPG based on a bunch of silliness was very different.

But the truth is I can't BS my way up

FP is also getting popular because we hit the ceiling on Moore's law. Functional code is by default parallelizable (it takes effort to make it not so), which means it's a good selling point for the world in which we add more and more processors instead of increasing their speed.

Naur's way of formulating that very closely resembles an argument presented by Hubert Dreyfus in his book Being-in-the-World.

It's an interpretation of Heidegger, but it's very clear and "analytical." He's even got interesting stuff in there about artificial intelligence, and he influenced several AI researchers. There was even a brief surge of interest in explicitly "Heideggerian AI" which seems to be an origin of the focus now on deep learning and emergent concepts and stuff (though I don't really know the history).

Anyway, Dreyfus says Heidegger means that most human knowledge can't be expressed in terms of rules.

That's most obviously true if you're talking about something like juggling three balls: you can write a guide, but the guide isn't possibly "exhaustive" enough to explain it so well that a person could simply follow the instructions.

And the more detailed instructions you write, the more the learner is just going to be confused. You will need meta-rules for deciding which rule to choose to apply.

To actually learn juggling, you just need a very primitive mental description, plus a little bit of coaching from someone who already knows, and a bunch of practice.

I'm just getting into Naur's writings a little bit now, and I notice one of his major interests was "programming as a human activity," so I think it makes sense to apply this same "Heideggerian" notion to programming.

Naur wants to describe the real knowledge, or let's call it skill, that actually functions in the programmer to understand and modify the program. Rules can only ever be a partial and abstracted "handbook" for aiding the learning of that skill.

It's not that rules are useless; it's more that the skill itself does not have the form of a collection of rules.

Skimming through Naur's "Antiphilosophical Dictionary," [1] it's obvious that Naur was interested in this tradition of critical philosophy [2] that wants to dethrone the "cognitivist" view of thought. He cites Gilbert Ryle, another analytic postcognitivist philosopher who appreciated Heidegger:

> According to the legend, whenever an agent does anything intelligently, his act is preceded and steered by another internal act of considering a regulative proposition appropriate to his practical problem. But what makes him consider the one maxim which is appropriate rather than any of the thousands which are not? Why does the hero not find himself calling to mind a cooking-recipe, or a rule of Formal Logic? Perhaps he does, but then his intellectual process is silly and not sensible.

So I think this clarifies what Naur meant by a kind of "theory" not reducible to rules. And in the article itself, he explains that he uses the word "theory" with reference to Ryle.

The key concept here is "presence". The Oculus is good enough that 9 out of 10 people standing on a Minecraft cliff refuse to jump off of it when using the Rift. Compare to non-VR: how many people had to stop playing Assassin's Creed or Just Cause because they were too afraid to jump from tall heights? My guess is: not many.

In a very visceral sense, then, VR isn't just better than non-VR - it's practically a whole new thing. If you're looking for AAA titles, you should realize that you're basically looking for titles from an entirely different medium. Like the leap from 2D to 3D in the 90's, I imagine that the big breakthrough games will be built for the medium (like Doom and Quake). Since the past few generations of games have made heavy use of 3rd person cameras, I'd almost bet this will be the case.

The article confounds snitching and counter-espionage. It was a time of war, and should that war turn hot, most of East Germany would be reduced to radioactive rubble, with most people dead or dying. If somebody went over to West Berlin never to return, they were defecting to the enemy. It is no wonder that the measures were drastic.

Hey you, HN reader!

Do you run a website? Perhaps help to administer a website? Given you're on this site, it's not unlikely you do.

Well, does your site work over IPv6? If Yes, great! If you don't know, assume it doesn't. You may just need to add just a single line to your config file (e.g. `listen [::]:80;` for nginx). Go and do it. Beware that a virtual server you're using may not even have IPv6 networking enabled by default.

I finally decided to bring my sites into the modern age last month, and went and modified all my config files so I could use IPv6, TLS and PHP 7. Was worth it, I think.

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

1) Many of the tools involved can't actually be opted out of without technical knowledge.

2) I know at least two services (Facebook, LinkedIn) who have profiles on me despite me not having accounts with them.

3) I know of at least one analytics tracking service that resells data and links things to social media that was successfully sued for using invasive ways of tracking people that was only possible to opt out of with javascript blocking.

So while its decentralized for the most part, it really isn't possibly to actually opt-out in any substantial way without javascript & ad blocking [which I've met quite a few people who just turn it off because its "too confusing" or never install it in the first place].
Comcast has spoken a bit about why they're implementing IPv6.

From: http://meetings.ripe.net/ripe-54/presentations/IPv6_manageme...

In the control plane, all devices need to be remotely
managed, so NAT isn’t going to help us, nor is federated
Net 10 islands…

IPv6 is the clear solution for us.
As a VR dev/enthusiast, I agree that the Gear VR is surprisingly not bad (I have an S6 Gear VR IE) - the fact that it's mobile makes it really easy to share, and it's a huge leap over the cardboard (most people can wear it without getting sick). The resolution is better than the DK2 and the experience it provides can be immersive and fun - IMO, it's especially well suited for 360 video content (being untethered, 360 video doesn't support positional tracking anyway), but IMO, the Vive/CB/CV1s are on a different level.

Two things to note:

* Pixel density and screen door effect (pixel fill) are artifacts that are much worse in the Gear VR (and similar) than in most displays. The consumer PC-class gear mostly solve the latter, but some people are more sensitive to this than others. While using the Gear VR in a plane mostly beats any other way you can watch media, I wouldn't get rid of your 4K TV yet...

* Within VR, "presence" is actually a term of art that refers to a type of immersion which refers to the illusion/perception of being physically present within a virtual world. When this kicks in, it happens at a subconscious level, but its easily broken right now. One of the biggest requirements is solid tracking - because the Gear VR doesn't have positional tracking (handling translation), presence is rarely, if ever achieved. (Even when you're watching TV, pay attention to how often you move your head, even slightly and imagine if the TV moved along with your head movements).

If you'd like to read more about presence (like with most things I suppose) Wikipedia isn't a bad place to start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersion_(virtual_reality)

What happens after we guarantee all access to learning resources and inequality persists? At what point will you accept the science that tells us how intelligence is mostly hereditary, immutable, and important?

The dream of stamping out inequality is built on the factually incorrect notion that we are all born with equal abilities. It's much easier to explain outcome differences as ability differences than to come up with increasingly unlikely forms of oppression.

As technology improves, low-IQ contributions become increasingly less valuable relative to machines, increasing inequality.
Yes, stack ranking goes against regular employment practices, but that's hardly the only way to use reviews. An employee with poor reviews might need extra training or other kind of assistance, or they might not just be a good fit for their current role. It's a good indicator to have.

> I don't see much of a difference to post WW2-Germany when all Germans suddenly discovered that they had been anti-fascist all the time.

As a 'West German' I can assure you that this was not the case. Germans after WWII were fascist like before. Many even openly did admit it ('es war nicht alles schlecht unter Hitler', 'die Juden waren schuld', 'der Russe hätte uns sonst überfallen', 'die Wehrmacht hat tapfer gekämpft', ...). What they told is that they did not know about some of the crimes or that they did not participate, but generally there were very few claiming to have been anti-fascists or even 'active' anti-fascists (sabotaging the war, etc.). Most told you: 'ich habe nur meine Pflicht getan', or similar. Surely there were anti-fascists, but even those often served in the army and many died somewhere in Russia, because they fought for their country (that was what they told) or did not have an alternative. The few (surviving) people who could claim to have been active anti-fascists were met with a lot of hatred by those generations after the war, see for example Willi Brandt ('Vaterlandsverräter').

It took decades to get rid of the 'fascist' thinking. Mostly when those generations died away. Remember the controversy around the 'Wehrmacht' and the 'Kriegsverbrechen'? Decades after the war that was a hot topic.
Marxism-Leninism is fine. Lenin decided to skip industrialization and went for socialism in one country (though he did try exporting "class consciousness" via war with Poland), as well as initiating the Red Terror. Stalin refined what Lenin had began.

Considering that communism requires the simultaneous abolition of the state, money/credit in favor of pure production-for-use and all class distinctions, it is dubious whether this can even be done at all, and certainly most countries are in no position to come close.
No. It was on the trajectory towards communism, but didn't achieve it. For starters, the economy used money. If you want to see sub-state communism, look at kibbutzim. You will have plenty material for criticism there.
Not to say it's not true, but I've never ever come across these people who do it. Could it be a regional thing?
