>More than once I've been up late at night, and felt like cooking something with wine

If this is habitual maybe you should, I don't know, have a couple of bottles of wine on-hand for such occasions?

There is evidence that later hours of alcohol sale are related to increased violence, injury and incidence of drunk-driving. Correlation is not causation and all that, but I'm sure people living in the vicinity of bars, or in college towns, aren't swayed by your minor inconvenience.
It's not necessarily about nightlife, it's about being told whats best for you and having it enforced.
I know IoT sounds scary and privacy invasive (it is), but in reality, most of the IoT devices are not dependent on the internet. For example, my toaster, refrigerator, washing machine, dish washer, coffee machine, TV would never benefit at all from using the internet, so I would never connect them.

The only device that actually benefits from the internet is a computer, and maybe a mobile phone (because there is this app craze). The rest I predict will fade when consumers discover the devices were fine the way they were.

There is easy way - not go in party districts at night. Generally speaking - it is not hard to manage to do it once you are after your mid 20s
Some UUIDs are cryptographically secure. But maybe they are too expensive.

I support UUIDs instead of nearly any other id space. They solve collision problems completely. Its time to stop managing ids.
At work: Outlook+Exchange. Really nice to be able to see others' calendars for checking schedules.

At work/mobile: Alimail is the preferred app. But it has a tendency to stop working. Anything urgent gets pushed by WeChat (and not via email).

At home: Evolution via IMAP. Well integrated in Gnome.

At home/online: Roundcube via IMAP. Gandi have it as a default webmail solution, and it is pretty fine.
And were they able to keep those jobs?

I firmly believe that programming is a creative and not production job. With that in mind, some people are naturals and everything just clicks for them. Others are perhaps silver tongued and can talk their way into the job even without the needed skills up front. Those will either learn on the job, ride on coat tails, or flame out. And then you have those who clearly have no clue and the hiring process was flawed in some deep way.

The real test is, do they still have the job 3/6/12 months later? If the answer is yes, then either they deserve the salary or their boss doesn't.
Yep, they are called Golden Visas. If you buy a property more expensive than 500.000 Euros you may apply for it. There were a few nags and some corruption charges a while ago so not sure what the current status is.

There is also some tax break that if you had no income in Portugal in the last 10 years, you are eligible for a very reduced personal tax rate if you move to Portugal for X years so that also brings up rental and property prices.
So the real money goes to the guy who takes all of those things and puts them under one roof, farming out the implementation details to others. What of it?

Arguing ad hominim is an easy way of getting out of the actual argument. If you watched any republican primary debate lately you can see it works really well in distracting you (weaker debating) opponent and creating confusion among the viewers about the candidates actual standpoint.

It serves not to disinterest the public, but the debater as it avoids the actual argument, with a side dish of confusion to the public.

It is however notable for often being used by those without actual arguments and thus should always be countered by an argument for your cause combined with one against theirs. But if left un-countered it might however get a life on its own and while this might be less true in science, it it killing in politics (see the electability 'arguments').

It can be a viable argument if bias is overly dominant in the research but is always supporting and never a single argument.

note: This is an opinion, like most 'arguments' are.
In France you have convenience store (referred to as "Chez l'arabe" as their owners are immigrants most of the time) open until very late at nigth.

They sell all sort of non-perishable food and, well, convenience stuff, but most of their profit comes from selling alcohol at night. And man, be it for alcohol or convenience, they are soooo useful !
>Good points, but I would contend that "Older people have a lot more experience in observing human nature" is not necessarily always true.

While for particular older people it might not hold (e.g. some guy might be stuck in his house/bubble for all his life and have less life experience than a guy half his age) in general this is obviously true.
> IPv6 doesn't take away your stateful firewall, and NAT isn't providing ANY security.

That's not really true. By its nature, stateful/dynamic NAT, which is what the majority of the consumer world is using, means internal services aren't exposed to the Internet. Short of layer 7 stateful packet inspection, or some other IDSy type thing, a consumer-focused 'firewall' isn't going to do any better... they have to be generic and fuss-free. Just go back to the early 00s or mid-90s to see the ramifications that exposing ports from Windows machines to the Internet had, then tell me NAT hasn't had a positive security impact.
Can Robo Advisers Replace Human Financial Advisers?
Sounds way too familiar. I am generally amazed that people refer to Slack as chat AND asynchronous communication tools. The two are kind of opposite for me.

I too miss times when email was for longer async communication and chat/gtalk/irc was for ad-hoc brief chats or production incident triage.
The sad truth is that Oculus is striking a lot of exclusivity deals.

The good news is that the Vive has a lot of unique content just by virtue of its (presently) superior tracking.

Long story short: right now, there's a wealth of content for each system that the other will not be able to play.

It stands to reason that Oculus exclusives will eventually "time out" and get ported, but it is not known whether the Rift + Touch will ever really support room-scale tracking or not.
If you haven't seen the Up Series, it is a documentary series about 14 children that were selected from different social classes in the UK. Each episode is seven years apart. It has had eight episodes.

56 Up was the first one I had seen. And it really does give you a sense of mortality and how quick life's years can go by, in a blur of routine.

I am unsure as to what the central point is to this post, but I will try to rebut two ideas I think are central.

1. Coders are paid way more for the effort and hardship they put in at work. This reduces the value of hard work.

Even if programmers are paid more than - say a coal miner - for the effort they put in, it does not diminish the value of hard work. I think we can all accept that :

Success = function(hard work, talent, luck)

Since hard work is the only thing in that equation you can control, you must always work hard. This is why parents try to emphasize the value of hard work. I think it is obvious, even in the software industry, given the same talent and same luck, people who work harder are more successful. So, if your goal in life is to make a lot of money, you better be a software engineer than a coal miner. Figuring this out and making an effort to be a software engineer also counts as hard work. Some people call it smart work, but it many ways, it is just the same.

So, this is the way the world is. But is it the way the world should be ? The author also takes issue with coal miners being paid less. We all know people follow incentives. If coal miners are paid more, more people will try to become coal miners. Coal mining is a dangerous job and we should not have any more people doing it than is absolutely necessary.

The reason software engineers are paid so much is because people do not pay for the hardship that you faced for providing them some value. They pay for the value delivered. Once a piece of software is written, it can be used by millions or billions of people. If each of them paid for the value they received, software engineers would earn their salary. This is why musicians, authors etc are paid a lot of money too. It is fitting and proper that we do this, since these type of activities ( large amount of benefit produced for little effort ) should attract more energy and people than say, coal mining.

2. I am paid more than I deserve. I am humble enough to admit it. You should too.

It is important to know if you are paid more than the value you deliver. But the truth is that most people take your self-report about your value to be a proxy to determine how valuable you are. Imagine walking into an interview and saying : 'I am paid $125K at my current job, but I don't think I deliver that much value'. If you are so humble, you may not get the promotions that you deserve, you may not get the opportunities that you deserve, you may not get the pay hikes that you deserve, you may not get the jobs you deserve. Being humble is mostly only useful if everyone else feels threatened by you. Most people in the world are not threatened by software engineers. We are pretty low status.
These servers have a real bad performance. I would suggest to avoid them if possible.

So, in summary: it's a device that infringes my copyright, gives you root access in response to trivial credentials, has access control that depends entirely on nobody ever looking at the packets, is sufficiently poorly implemented that you can crash both it and the bulbs, has a cloud access protocol that has no security whatsoever and also acts as an easy mechanism for people to circumvent your network security.
>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.

Wrong too, I'm afraid. In lots of Western countries the average age of the population has rose as high as 40 year old (in contrast with older values of even less than 30). So it's not always that 'young people don't vote', it's also there are less of them too.

This is a strange post.

How can you reasonably claim that OR is "pretty much the only way to go currently" when the Vive has done perfectly well with lighthouse tracking? You mention tracking multiple players at the same time, but not a single developer is even trying to do this. Maybe Oculus will tackle this at some point in the future, but they certainly aren't right now.

And while it's true that the Vive headset is still tethered, many folks have tried it out and almost none have reported any real issues with the cable.

Some of your points are correct and legitimate, but I think in these two areas you're showing some real bias.

Regardless, I don't think there's any reason to really be worried here. These are two very expensive devices geared towards affluent early adopters. The VR space is going to evolve a lot in the next few years. If room-scale takes off, Oculus will possibly have to redesign their tracking system, but they have the money and the manpower to do so. So if you're a big fan of Oculus, I don't think you need to worry about the company going bankrupt over this.
It varies by state. I currently live in New York and our last call is 4am. I used to live in Delaware and it was 1am.

It's still not disproportionate. Old people don't get more votes. They actually vote.

Just because there happen to be more old people, and they tend to vote more conservatively, does not mean that it's "disproportionate" when they actually vote and influence policy. If all the baby boomers died tomorrow nobody would bemoan the disproportionate influence of 40-year olds in the next election.
Where do you get "good enough for most cases" or the 80% from? Let's see the hard facts rather than conjecture masquerading as such.

My personal experience points to opposite results of what you claim.
> 2. In many situations, we dont want devices on the internet at all, and on private only networks. ...

Unique Local Addressing (RFC 4193) solves this problem and requires no coordination with outside parties. The network admin gets to choose the scope of the ULA prefix, so you can trivially make your ULA traverse multiple LANs if you wish. (This addresses your first point, too.)

> 3. There is a lack of clearly communicated best practices for the industry.

Eh? This is the first hit for "IPv6 BCP": https://www.apnic.net/community/ipv6-program/ipv6-bcp

> 4. Knowing how heavily the NSA was involved in ipv6 (in particular ipv6 ipsec)...

Then -uh- don't use IPSec and block IPSec connection establishment attempts at your border firewalls. Or, because implementation of IPSec is -sadly- not a requirement for IPv6 implementers, use an IPv6 implementation that doesn't implement it.

Edit: You are aware that OpenVPN uses TLS for session authentication and IPSec for transport of tunnelled data? :)

> 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).

Are you talking about IPv6 over Teredo tunnels? If you are, then get a packet dump and fire up Wireshark... Teredo doesn't encrypt the traffic that it tunnels. If you aren't, and you're talking about something that's wrapping traffic in TLS, then -well- that doesn't have anything to do with IPv6.
The wave packets interpretation reminds me of Schrödinger, but I don't remember exactly why it was dropped back in the day (circa 1940). Sorry I'm so sloppy on these topics, I never studied them formally ("mathematically" if you will -- think what I did more like a "history of quantum mechanics" course) and it's also been a long since last read about.
In all fairness, I really don't think Skype's UI has gotten any worse. It's always been rubbish to me.

True. The debugger integration is nice and vscode offers a very good out of the box experience. Have you found a way to make it understand go html templates?
You're right. They should probably point this out in the blog post itself right next to the price.
This is all true, but it goes both ways - older people tend to be more set in their ways, more obstinate and opposed to change for the sake of opposing it. On the whole, humans are feckless, short-sighted, narrow-minded creatures. We look to protect our own interests first and foremost above and beyond others, and for many people this only gets worse with age, when there is something to protect and guard against losing. I continue to be more underwhelmed by the older generation as I grow older.
> It is consistently 180-200% the actual market value.

Market value is what it would take to have a buy/sell transaction on the house. If there are no houses for sale in the neighborhood, everyones make me move number IS the market value for the house/neighborhood.
Voting is only a small part of the power equation. Money and influence is a much larger one.

Captains of business, finance, and education make a lot of important decisions and use money to influence the political process through lobbying and litigation. As corporations grow in power, gaining more rights and representation, so does this channel of political influence, which is controlled almost exclusively by an older cohort.

The article calls this out in detail: casino interests played a huge role in destroying Sydney's nightlife in order to funnel drinkers to the casino bars that were exempt from shutdown laws.

Notable exceptions would be Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, Evan Spiegel. But they are just that: exceptions. And I wouldn't exactly consider any of them role models or champions for a younger generation.
That's naive. They are always looking to maximise profits, and what better way than to sell it as a dream product way ahead of any of it's competitors?
What I haven't seen in a home router is proper egress filtering. The use of NAT you're talking about just seems like a really blunt version of that.

I think a router with a smartphone based controller could work well - push notifications when your TV wants to connect to the net for the first time or a friend has dropped by and wants to log on to your guest wifi
>It's still not disproportionate. Old people don't get more votes.

I'm afraid you have misread disproportionate to mean some kind of unfair representation.

It just means "they are more, and thus get more votes", i.e. that their influence (because of their numbers) is higher. Nobody implied they get more than 1 vote per person...

disproportionate: "too large or too small in comparison with something else"
It's amazing. However, I don't think the problem is Robotics, I think the problem is AI. Will robots be helping us in 20 years? Possibly. Will they still need people directing them, supervising them, and doing the more complicated tasks? I'm inclined to answer "definitely". But I'd love to be proven wrong! :)

I don't agree with the parent, but I also don't think you're being entirely fair here. It's hard to avoid 'party districts' if you live or work there, or have to travel through them.
Well, the real point is "Why should they when somebody else can?" Especially since I don't strongly believe that Wikipedia will necessarily be "ad free" in, say, five or ten years. Time rolls on. Wikipedia should be focusing on making the best Wikipedia they can; let other focus on making the best community sites they can. We don't have to bundle everything into one organization.
You're right but you won't have a choice. Many devices will require connection to the internet to be configured, and you won't always know ahead of time what they are because most people won't care enough to put it in a review. For example it drives me crazy that my washing machine beeps for over an hour when it's done... I don't care - just stop making that noise... However, it's impossible to search for "doesn't beep like crazy" when buying a new product on amazon.
I publish a browser on play store that blocks ads: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rsbrowser....

Its based on Code aurora forum code which is based on chrome code. Basically it is chrome, but with ad blocking. It also happens to be much faster than chrome. I also use firefox, but it doesn't seem to render some sites correctly. However it seems to be the only browser that supports plugins.
And then there is the bullshit that permeates from science research into bullshit blogs that later folk people use to guide their decisions (and editors/writers use to drive ad prints): what to eat or not according to recent research, how to raise children or not acording to recent research, how long a workout, how to be happy, how to this and how not to that. The bullshit then jumps from blogs into everyday conversations and daily live, into arguments over coffee (how much coffee is good by the way? According to quotable recent research that is). The most recent bulshit that really makes me lose hope is the don't vaccinate children bullshit.

> "Older people have a lot more experience in observing human nature" is not necessarily always true. Or at least it may not be the reason for their conservativism.

Older people have a lot more experience observing politics and government, and as such have seen the consequences of historical campaign promises and highly-touted government agendas. If these consequences are negative and they have been given reason to believe that the government and its politicians are either liars or just not competent to deliver, that may explain their conservatism.
