Sometimes you just need the latest version. KiCAD has recently gone through development sprint after being dormant for years. My distro offered ancient version without new features. After trying to resolve source building dependencies for an hour, I just ran latest windows binary using Wine, and had no issues using it. It was bizarre experience.
I am a sysadmin who has been slowly preparing for IPv6 as an eventuality, and have read quite a bit on it, though I admit there is much more to learn. That being said, and knowing that the industry says otherwise, I disagree on the seemingly accepted state that we should get rid of nat for ipv6, for a few key reasons.

1. Yes, browsers and other things will leak your private ip space sometimes, but nat does indeed provide a level of security simply due to complications in routing issues for attackers. Its certainly only a base layer, but it does help.

2. In many situations, we dont want devices on the internet at all, and on private only networks. This is doable with site private, but that brings me to

3. There is a lack of clearly communicated best practices for the industry. To the pont that adoption is almost nill. I recently had a private network setup via ATT, and they said I was the first customer on that network type to request ipv6...

4. Knowing how heavily the NSA was involved in ipv6 (in particular ipv6 ipsec), I have my concerns about the protocol itself, albiet as of yet unverified doubts. The corruption of NIST committees is a very serious thing to me.

5. As the admin, I want to be able to see non encrypted traffic and metdata traversing my exit points. I am having a harder and harder time diagnosing IPv6 because of how often it wants to tunnel to some ipv4 address that I dont trust (read: microsoft).

I know that all these points are fairly weak and suspect to criticism, but what gets me is that I dont hear this discussion. Instead I just hear either how ipv6 is god and you should embrace its loving arms, or I see people just sticking their head in the sand who say, I dont like it so Im going to ignore it and hold on to my ipv4 blocks until they make me.

Im open to conversations on the topic, and my list is larger but Im on mobile and late for fixing some ipv4 networking issues .
Exactly. A common pattern is also that people are more likely to move out of a city once they plan to raise children.
They seem to have a new football themed promo video up

Funny, they show football players, all I can see is future generals guiding their troops in the field with this.
€20000? Good grief. Even if I wanted to take that job (as an Australian who'd like to work in Berlin), I couldn't because the minimum pay for an EU Blue Card worker is €38688 and that's with the discounted rate for IT-skilled workers. (Otherwise the company has to offer a minimum €49600 for an EU Blue Card to be granted.)
Flipkart losses are growing fast http://www.livemint.com/Companies/UQAIOMlml7iM6oVufedjOJ/Fli...
I do not think their business model is unique. They are taking investor's money and giving as discount to customers. Important thing to note here is unlike Amazon in US which was genuine innovation for local customers as delivery to home for millions of product who would hate to go out and shop. In India home delivery by local businesses for as little as 2 dollar worth of goods is common for decades before E-commerce boom. Even banks send in some one for paperwork, opening account or just deliver cash at home. So once delivery part is out of equation and heavy discounts are forced out by investors, I am not sure what will be their value proposition.
I'm not so sure. I went to uni in a different state, 1000 miles from home. I was also one of those marginal students (low income, poor schools, poor neighborhood, single parent, etc). Freshman year, moving to a new state made me a bit monastic. While my new friends, who were in state, were going home, constantly hanging out with friends from high school I would spend my weekends studying, try new interesting activities, listen to music, etc.

Being so far from family just made me more self-reliant and resourceful. Example, my roommate would take a car load of laundry home every month because he didn't know how to wash his clothes and could not be bothered to figure it out.

While being self reliant prepared me for life it did not help with the studies. It took me a few years and a few failed courses before I really learned how to study. Not at the grade school level but at the university level. But that was not because of the distance to the school. Being first in my family I had no one to lean on. Now my siblings are doing much better because I was the first, took all the arrows to the chest and mentored them over the stumbling blocks I encountered when transitioning to university.
Though you should be honest and note that no one is making $85K after 6 months or less of training. Those people are obviously filling positions, but not the $85K ones.

It is a real issue, I was amazed to find places such as Milton Keynes were seeing foreign investment on new build - friend is renting there and his new build place is owned by a family based in the UAE
It's not a stupid future at all. People thought home pages and the under construction guy GIF were stupid, now look where we are.

There are some very asinine products on the market, there are so very many badly implemented products that throw security and privacy out the window, and there are some that are trying their best with what we have today. All of these are fleshing out the ideas that will stick for tomorrow... and hopefully are getting the user base familiar with the right questions to ask when looking at new stuff.

The ability to reduce home energy usage, let people in remotely, get alerted to activity inside your house when you're on vacation, detect a leak or flood while away or asleep. These aren't stupid. Some of these will genuinely (attempt) to help the world, most of them are nice to have, but not stupid by any means.

Where we're likely headed is that all of these individual devices don't need a direct connection to the Internet, but will have some local/mesh communication protocol to get the data to a main hub. Each local protocol will have security so that you can't sniff raw data just by being near the house, and the hub would use whatever the latest and greatest 'Internet security' offers up, a la TLS.

This is pretty much how Z-Wave and ZigBee devices work with the more established home hubs from Mi Casa, Samsung (SmartThings), and Wink.

We will continue to get burned by manufacturers in the near term. We will get burned by expensive, cheap, no name, and trusted brands. It's a growing pain, we don't have to accept it, but the majority of the products in the near term are going to be awful. Find reviews and analysis, create them yourself, or sit out, but your 'stupid future' is not going to magically stop marching into your house.
There are many places around the world that are open late. In many places (I speak from experience in Spain, Peru, and El Salvador) , the night doesn't really get started until after midnight anyways.

The article also mentioned other things, like all liquor must be served with a mixer after midnight. That means drinking a whisky neat is now illegal, which is quite ridiculous, and will definitely drive people away from going to bars.
IMO, this is one of the reasons that people are into at least talking about Bernie Sanders style socialism.

If these fundamental injustices don't get addressed, I fear the alternative is revolution in the long term.
There was a link on HN(?) a few days back about a guy that was testing some LED Light Bulb.

Those light bulb are a bit clever as they need to plug into your wifi for remote control. He discovered that the plug was creating a new wifi network, with hardcoded simple password and security setting such that it exposed you internal network to an external attacker. I can't remember if it was calling home, but surely a future version will.

So yeah, you will eventually end up with something connected, light bulbs are connected now !
My last-gen RPi is my primary non-interactive-media device. With Kodi / OSMC it makes a superb media center, capable of playing everything up to and including 1080p video. Very few compatibility issues, easily extensible, file transfer from my desktop via SFTP, and consumes little enough power I just leave it on 24/7.

Doesn't do H.265, sadly. I wonder if the new one will...

EDIT: Ars Technica says "yes". "The new Pi also gains H.265 support for the first time but is limited to 1080p at 30fps."
Note that those huge salaries and easy barriers to entry will bring salaries down and commoditize things.

The commoditization of programming has been predicted for a long time and we're still waiting.

Whether it is written with spaces or dashes or neither is nothing more than an artefact of orthography. Extreme compound words can be created in English, too, they just look less like compounds (and they violate cultural aesthetics more than in German).
To be fair the American racial categories seem pretty inane to my non-American eyes to begin with.

I understand that there is a lot of cultural baggage to the various categories but I can't count how many times I've been genuinely surprised by Americans identifying as black or Latina/o. The most striking ones I think were Halle Berry and Obama -- it took me a while to process that their recognition was genuinely noteworthy in the US because of their ethnicity. You could have told me Obama were Moroccan or Halle Berry were Indian and I wouldn't have been any more surprised.

For context: I'm German, grew up in the 90s in a city with ~1M residents and am literally colorblind (partially green blind). I'm not sure what part of that makes me unable to properly racially categorize people but I'm not convinced that's a bad thing.

I vote in every election I'm around for, including the municipal ones and the Super Tuesday primary tomorrow. That doesn't mean those elections are actually contested, or actually involve anyone I really want to vote for. As in, my last municipal election involved five candidates running for four city council seats. I had to pick which one not to vote for!

I'm entitled to be a little resentful when the term "Massachusetts liberal" exists as an insult, a perennial way of kicking my state in the shins and telling us our voice will always be overridden.

As a Scala proponent, I was worried at first about Typesafe's rebranding. Now, however, I'm of the opinion that a strong Lightbend company is good for the Scala community.

That being said, I think Lightbend could have done more to anticipate the concerns from the Scala community, and--for pete's sake--use less market speak. A lot of this post reads like it was written by a spin doctor.

> Half of the top-10 Scala contributors are with Lightbend, and the Scala team is the largest of any of our engineering teams.

Yes! It took how many words to get to this point?

IMHO, this would be much better received if it contained concrete and demonstrable backing of Scala. Something like:

At Lightbend we believe actions speak louder than words.

* To demonstrate our commitment to Scala, we are launching a LTS program. Any company purchasing Scala support or commercial licenses from Lightbend will be able to continue to do so for the next X years. If you are a company considering Scala adoption, Lightbend will be your partner for the long-haul.

* In 2016, Lightbend will sponsor these specific Scala conferences, meetups and hackathons...

* Lightbend's Scala team has been a large contributor to Scala. Our goal is to double the amount of the changesets contibuted in 2016.
I'm surprised he's surprised about this. What they claim to be doing is totally reasonable, and
pretty much every IoT device works like this. There's simply no good way to get out-of-the-home
communication to work reliably without having the device connect to the cloud. At least they (claim to)
use NAT punching when possible.

I guarantee Nest, Canary, Ring, etc. all do the same thing. HomeKit and Weave do to (although they use
Apple/Google's servers which you probably trust more).
how is disproportional in a voting system where each adult has a vote? I would say it is proportional it is just that you don't like a proportion right now because people live longer so there is more older adults voting
> They’re essentially very tiny, very specialized atomic robots engineered by nature.

This is a tantalizing interpretation, but overall not helpful.

Terms like "machine" and "robot" bring with them a concept of design and order, which doesn't reflect the sheer randomness that dominates that level of physics. Compare this caption from the essay:

> Kinesin, gracefully strolling across a microtubule

which this molecular dynamics simulation of part of the same step - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JckOUrl3aes

The title of that MD video is "Molecular Motor Kinesin Walks Like a Drunk Man" and in the description "Although many previous cartoons depict kinesin step as unidirectional and deterministic, hundreds of month-long computer simulations based on the law of physics show that kinesin undergoes bidirectional and stochastic thermal motion while stepping on the polar track microtubule."

That gives a very different feel about what's going on!

There are at least two other problems with using the 'atomic robot' metaphor. We know how to design robots, and for at least 25 years there's been the optimism that we could reuse that knowledge to design molecular robots. For example, Autodesk, the CAD company, looked into the idea in the early 1990s (http://www.fourmilab.ch/autofile/www/chapter2_82.html ), and in the late 1990s there was the nanotech hype of designing all sorts of things in rigid-like diamond, rather than soft, flexible proteins. The robot metaphor really doesn't transfer over that well.

We also see creationists use the "robot" analogy to argue that since robots are designed by an intelligence, and proteins are robots, then proteins are designed by intelligence.
> and if you contributed to the C.H.I.P. campaign, you might be waiting another three months.

This portion of the article makes it sound like they have written off C.H.I.P. as a non starter.

I actually received my CHIP back in early January, along with most of the campaign contributors. People are using CHIP today and making things with it. For those that ordered around "black friday" on the getchip.com site, those are expected to ship in June (I have a second order in through there), but the early Kickstarter ones have shipped. They also have more shipping each month.
"Make me move" is basically saying "This is the price for which I will uproot my life!"

I actually know someone who was in this situation. A company wanted a sliver of the guy's land for an access road. Eminent domain wasn't an option for the company. The company offered $100k for the 10x30 piece of land. Sensing blood in the water and figuring that redoing all of the project would cost at least $2M + lots of time, he demanded $750k for his property and got $700k. It was worth about $250k total.
Exactly. I was a partner at McK and, at the time, valuation engagements were an important line-of-business, both for private equity firms or in tandem with bankers (M&A, IPOs...).
I dunno.

One thing I do know is that in the same geographic area you will commonly find two programmers who do similar things but one of them gets paid twice as much as the other.

It may be true that one is more productive than another, but if you talk with the boss in either situation the story you will hear is that they have a budget to pay somebody $X and so they pay $X and that is non-negotiable.
Lisbon, Porto and south of Portugal has seen a boom on foreign investment on properties. There are locations that if you email the agency, the first thing they mention is all the tax advantages of buying here for non foreigners. There is a whole upscale market for non-residents to park their money in real estate here.
I read the article. I also read the police statistics. Have you? But anyway, two specific points:

1. Small bars are exempt from the laws:
http://www.nsw.gov.au/newlaws

2. In the 10+ years I've known Sydney I did not notice much change in the late night character of King's Cross; certainly not enough to make believe the culture of drugs, drunks, prostitution and violence is going away all by itself. The fact that the laws were introduced in the first place is testament to that.
Wrong. It's only "disproportionate" because that cohort actually votes. The only reason that group has more power than any other group is that 20-29 year olds don't vote. People in their 60's do.
Yes?

The idea is not novel, it's been conceived off several times in human history as suggested in this thread alone. So flipkart has no claim to special talent, or high barriers in conceiving of the idea.

Since Amazon also wants to be a market place enabler, and builder of market places themselves, it's quite likely they would see this model being played out in other parts of the world and try it out.

Yes, the number of emails required to sell the idea would be lower with an Indian paragon to point to.
Yeah, i was equally baffled. When i told them 40k would be my absolute minimum they told me "You'd have to work for two then." They were also located in the absolutely cheapest part of Berlin they could be in. If you want to work in Berlin, prepare for a lot of research. It's absolutely possible, however due to the huge population of students, prices can be weird.
Well not catastrophic but I think they will be seriously constrained to raise cash at some frothy, unrealistic valuation.
You can get passively cooled netbooks with an Intel chip now. Mine's a Celeron N2840. Runs okay for everyday use.
thats a great point, look at the Karen page on bulbapedia: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Karen,
there are lists of pokemons she uses on every game she appears, their movesets, quotes from her, artwork, appearences on the manga and trivia.

I personally lean toward inclusionism but I don't really think any of this information fits wikipedia.

The Dreyfus Model and “It Depends”
The IoT encompasses a huge number of heterogeneous devices - for consumer electronics you have webcams, smart TVs, wearables, smart white goods, thermostats, etc. - all with vastly different hardware that requires varying levels of complexity at the OS level.

On top of that, the space is very immature and a huge nascent market, so you have all the big players trying to beat each other out for a large slice of the pie - Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Intel+Qualcomm+Microsoft+Samsung (OCF Alliance), etc.

What you really need is a strong vendor with a compelling security story who you can credibly trust to create good devices with a lot of thought on end-to-end security...any guesses who that might be?
Ars Technica says yes - http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/02/raspbe...

There's a difference between advertisement and "submarine ad", wherein the second one claims to provide something specific, while just serving to advertise something else.
Yes.

Whenever you fight back against a meaningless misdemeanor, the city attorney and police will vindicatively punish you. It happened to me in a small town.

Antonio is a graduate of Wespoint, Stanford and Harvard. There are better more engaging challenges in the world he could focus on but he has to fight injustice and city corruption over the right to film police.

The problem is epidemic not just to Austin but to all of America. It has to do with human nature. Don't comply? They will crush you by any means possible. Guilty or innocent? They do not care.
Wikipedia and the Pokémon wars predate these wikis. Note that many of these are hosted with Wikia (originally named Wikicities), which was Jimmy Wales's next venture after founding Wikipedia (he's moved on to The People's Operator). Wikicities was launched sometime 2005ish, but Pokémon articles and no-name garage bands were already a hot issue at the time.

Not on the topic of SS marriage but just on the "young want change vs old vote to continue the past" point.

As I've gotten older, one thing that I've consistently found is that the young want change. Always. Regardless of whether it's beneficial, been tried before and negative consequences were seen, would only benefit certain people or negative outcomes long term are clearly visible: they want change for sake of change.

Older people have a lot more experience in observing human nature. There is a very big reason that the slogans around "Wisdom comes with age" and "Young know it alls" have existed for so long. They've been observably accurate.

It's a lot easier to get people fired up about things that they don't understand, because any contentious subject has two sides and the fire generally shows that you only understand one of them.

"this provides a 50-60% increase in performance in 32-bit mode"

I don't understand this. How does a 64 bit processor increase speeds for 32 bit? Or is this referring to an increase over 64 bit numbers in 32bit mode?
No need for retaliation. The "old" are digging their own graves (no pun intended), by not allowing the "young" to flourish - the younger generations either migrate to countries offering better oportunities, or not work at all because of excessive taxes. Eventually, who's going to take care of the old, of their property, and pay their pensions?
Even if you had multiple leaders responsible for different partitions you'd still be (temporarily) unavailable if the leader died, so...while you have improved the system's availability characteristics you haven't changed the underlying fault model.

Also, keep in mind that not everything has to go through the leader. If your application is OK with stale reads you can read committed data from any follower, allowing you to be available (for some definition of available) while the master is down.

Also, IIRC most practical strongly-consistent systems aren't egalitarian (I'd love to hear otherwise) and instead, rely on a leader.
