Using a wired network for things that can be wired frees up capacity for mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. For instance, if you are moving files to and from a server, you get way better performance if the server is wired than if the server is wireless too because the server->hub and hub->client links interfere with each other.

Mesh networks are just going from the frying pan to the fire.

I am not saying that people "don't need wireless" but that if having a reliable WiFi network matters to you, the best way to speed up your WiFi network is to move anything that you can possible move to wired to free up bandwidth for WiFi.

That includes turning off the rouge access points that are created by printers, game consoles, phones, etc.
> IPv6 is faster for two reasons. The first is that many major operating systems and browsers like iOS, MacOS, Chrome and Firefox impose anywhere from a 25ms to 300ms artificial delay on connections made over IPv4.

He forgot to add that this only applies to dual-stack hosts...
Powerline ethernet, where it's available (and it normally will be near a TV) can be great.
Skip the grocery store. Are our lives really getting better if we depend on other farmers for our most basic food requirements? In fact, skip agriculture entirely. Let's all become hunter gatherers again and return to our true human nature.

Thought experiment: what do you imagine the diet of the average human will look like 100 years from now? 200? I'd wager that if your answer involves a grocery store, fresh produce, slaughtered livestock, etc. then you'll be wrong.
Wow... that little box sounds really nice.
Probably I'll get one.
FX-8350, mentioned by you, costs $149.99 according to cpubenchmark, and for extra $35 you can get E5 1620 that blows AMD out of the water. You can also install up to 384 GB of memory, whereas AMD cannot go above 64 GB. You can also get more PCI-E lanes, and squeeze more bandwidth out of the GPUs. Not to mention you cannot upgrade your AMD system to anything more powerful, without replacing everything with Intel platform ;)
Price of insurance is not a right.

It is not fair to normalize the price. It penalizes people who are healthy and good drivers (for example not smoking and speeding).

I don't understand the budget angle, at least if it's referring to the financial budget. One of the first tenants of financial counseling for people who are struggling to pay their bills is that they have to quit eating out immediately. Dave Ramsey has a quip on the radio about that the person who is getting out of debt should not see the inside of a restaurant unless it is his or her second job.

I think it's a little misleading to call that "a while". The post says "156 private repositories" were affected during a "ten-minute window" representing "0.0013% of the total operations at the time".

I don't think there is though it may fall under ethical considerations of AI or economics of AI. Would be hard to do a study since AI has really only been around for less than 50 years.
And that is fine, but I think this thread and these kinds of sentiment show that it IS superior to teach your kids how to cook and to understand that it doesn't have to be a boring slog.

Because then, when they are adults, they won't be discouraged because "it is too hard to get all the ingredients" or "it takes too long" because they'll have a better understanding of how to just roll with it. Maybe they won't be making fancy dishes ,but they also will understand how to do a twenty minute meal.

Case in point: You seem to think you have to be a foodie (screw that word and everything about it) to cook with your kids.

Going back to the sports analogy: No one is saying to force your kid to live outdoors. But taking the time to throw a ball around or take them on a hike or whatever conditions them to associate physical activity with fun which, in turn, encourages them to do it on their own.
Everyone has different ways of thinking - I imagine the models before CADding them but some people might like to make cardboard, playdoh etc models. If you like going directly to CAD, I would recommend starting with coarse CAD models.
Yes, of course, tiny children are limited in how much they can participate. But not as much as you might think at first glance. We built platforms for them to stand on, so as soon as they were on their feet, they could access the counters. And we could slide the platforms away when we were working with anything that might harm them. As they grow up, simple footstools work, then eventually they are tall enough to work with you just as an adult would.

Likewise, when they are tiny, you don't really give them knives or anything. But they can see what is going on, you can talk to them. They learn quickly. My kids have been making their own lunches since they were 6, starting with simple thigns like sandwiches or nachos. My 10 year old frequently cooks breakfast for the family -- eggs, pancakes, waffles, etc. My 8 year old does simpler things - grilled cheese, mostly.

Give kids a chance - they may surprise you.

As far as working in small spaces where people do not fit, that does sound like more of a challenge. But parenting is full of problem-solving opportunities.
Is it an entirely separate service? So far it doesn't appear to match HN's top news.
Aah, that is completely fair. I am lucky in that I can run those wires. A scenario where someone couldn't didnt cross my mind. Thanks for pointing it out!
Apple are clearly abandoning the concept of an all-Apple solution, and the concept that all their products are part of an ecosystem. I've said it before, iPhone and iPad are successful because "there's an app for that" and if Apple doesn't look after developers and content creators, how is that going to work? If they don't own the whole experience then how do they deliver "it just works"?

People go Apple because they want the integrated experience, but if that's not on offer anymore, if you have to actually research which is "the best" of any component in your setup, why not re-evaluate everything? Eventually it will get to the point where it's as much hassle to use Apple as it would be to use Windows or Linux and at that point, it will boil down to a decision on price, and Apple will lose heavily. Those HP Mini Workstations look pretty sweet, compared to a Mac Mini...
> Not middle age type slavery but psychological slavery where nothing belongs to you anymore, not even your self

Could one argue that almost all individuals who use the modern day internet ("Internet 2.0") with their identity and privacy unknowingly jeopardized are subject to this same psychological slavery?

I think your comment spills over onto the rest of us, regardless of debt, after the Snowden disclosures. We are all frogs in the same pot of boiling water. There are some resources we have (such as end-to-end encryption), but for the most part, similar leverage is held over most of us.
I'd want one of these boards to have a timer, for a change! None of the services anywhere offer embedded timer/stop watch. You start a task, you should be able to time it.
This is why you run your ethernet cable inside the wall.
> I had a router from BT that despite having won awards, could not resolve its external IPv4 address internally. It knew what its external address was and knew that it had to DMZ everything to an internal address, but if you attempted to resolve the external address (expecting it to go to your DMZ'd machine), it'd fail.

to be fair, I've got $1000 cisco hardware that can't wrap the external IP like that...
Add to that students have "suites" with private bedrooms and shared living space. Add to that meal plans with all you can eat Nutella and endless options. That money has to come from somewhere. It used to be old buildings with one block wall room with a set of bunks and two crappy desks. It has become an arms race and the parents have helped this along by indulging their kids. A lot of this debt is the parents paying. You can't get $60K per year of loans for an undergrad degree as the student. Plus you have small liberal arts schools that cost more than Harvard (yeah, I know they need no money) to get a BA in literature and then do what......? Complain you can't get a job?

You're absolutely right. We plan to do a few interesting projects around GraphQL. Subscribe to our blog to not miss announcements :)

Can you say more about this? I may have a country change in my near future.
Noone is saying that, but there's very limited bandwith available in the air (especially in the 2.4GHz band). If you move datahungry devices like TVs, NAS, etc. off the air, you gain a lot of free spectrum for the phones and tablets.
Seriously? This is a $200 upgrade to a Dell or Lenovo laptop and with their current gen chips and support for more ram it will run circles around the Mac. To me that is a really poor argument. Apple soldered in the SSD and RAM so you can't even upgrade it to a better or more recent SSD as they come out. Not to mention I can't even upgrade the RAM as demands and applications change. Yet we pay a hefty premium for the Apple Macbook, way more then the $200 or so upgrading to a quality SSD would cost you.

Don't get me wrong, I work daily on a Macbook Pro, but I think it is likely limited unless Apple takes the Macbooks seriously. I understand that most people don't need more then 16Gb of Ram daily, but running VM's and IDE's etc can eat through RAM pretty fast, so having 32Gb would really be nice. Apple used to lead the pack when it came to this stuff, now they trail. That is I guess what is mainly just disappointing.
Definitely - my point was simply that the annual FCC broadband reports don't show the average U.S. connection anywhere near that speed.
I don't understand the interaction with agents. Are they basically like IFTTT? Ie, i can setup scenarios (when i walk into home, when i connect to my car bluetooth) and it will trigger an action?

I like the idea of more IFTTT-like apps, but i'm not sure what usefulness the fact that this is a Launcher has. But perhaps that's because i'm only paying attention to the IFTTT-like feature.
I bet the first change'll be to replace the pricing page with a contact form/quote so that you can talk with a sales manager about your "enterprise" requirements. Not very exciting for start-ups.
No updates for 3 years and the product page still points to Aperture, another canceled product. I'd say the MP is as good as dead at this point.

Actually, I stand corrected. It appears they updated the page to use Pixelmator benchmarks instead of Aperture. This update must have just happened because a friend of mine and I were joking about it a week or two ago.

Exactly. I have a few things wired in the house where they're actually close enough to a switch. But for phones and tables and laptops (we have several), wired is not an option.

This is also shitty news because I had very high confidence that an Apple router would not ship with any kind of malware or other crap I don't need. Now, I have to find something better, comparable in price, and works well with Mac household.. Sad face.

I work in/with a mixed Swiss German/German/French/Spanish/Others office department. I don't suppose it will come as much of a shock to hear that English is used in general, with smaller localised dialect outbreaks occurring regularly. Works pretty well, and as an added bonus, you slowly pick up a better understanding/confusion of a variety of languages :)
I wonder if it is fast enough to read lips in public based on CCTV footage.
But aren't the customers going to leave Oracle in the long run?

I'm not saying it's not working, because Oracle is clearly doing fine. It just seems rather short term, and really unethical.

I wouldn't listen because my wireless network works just fine, even without listening to such strange advice. :)

Can I push 1 Gbps from my phone to my other phone? No... but I don't need to. My TVs and other devices work just fine too (none of them need more than 10Mbps to be usable, even with stable HD streaming).

The few things that do need bandwidth are on a wired connection giving them a hefty 1 Gbps that isn't interfered with by anything.

Maybe you have just had terrible routers?
For Verizon Fios you have no choice. I mean sure you can disable the wifi of the router and use an access point like I do but you have to use their router at some point in the chain.

There are have been some guides to try to bypass the router and go strait to the OTN but it is extremely non trivial.
I used to get charged $10 a month for router/modem. Owned my cable modem now for 4 years with no problems and my router for 3. They have more than paid for themselves.
Look at what is inside it and what it does to you and how it is manufactured. Look at a load of Wonder Bread. It used refined white flour with no bran or germ - the healthy parts. Why would they do this? Because it gives the bread a longer shelf life - what you consider a feature. You've sacrificed any bit of nutrition so it keeps on the shelf longer.

Sugar is in it. Sugar. In bread. As if the white flour starch isn't bad enough for you as it turns into sugar but then actual sugar is added. No wonder diabetes is such a problem.

Where's the fiber? Well, that's added later and in measly amounts so it can actually be called "bread".

There is hardly any nutrition in this bread. And you admitted you didn't even know that. It was designed to be profitable - not in any way be nutritious.

"Make it better" - for who? The 4 years olds with diabetes?
In the US, duh. In other countries, where the difference between the oppressor and the oppressed is more subtle, this provides "value" (like different castes of Indians, or upperclass/lowerclass/Irish/Scottish/English/Welsh in Britain).
> we bulldoze away houses etc

People can do whatever they want to their property, no?

Do you personally allow homeless people into your house?

Problems you mentioned are real and tough, but the objections are very simplistic. Its very easy to demand others to do something, and distance yourself away.
GE Chief Jeff Immelt to Silicon Valley: Our Time Is Coming
Ask HN: Why are we burying our heads in the sand?
What's going on right now is a revolutionary power shift. Yet all I see on here are tech articles. My question is a challenge. Why are we, some of the most powerful change-makers in the mainstream economy, not having frank conversations about what's going on?

For example: last night the oil security industry sprayed people with water cannons in sub freezing temps. Why isn't there room for this on HN?
This article is complete and utter bullshit.

"But think about the benefits, when you make your own meals you are saving money, rather than paying a chief, tip, delivery fee and markup, you only pay for the ingredients."

If you think even a little bit, it is obvious, that producing prepared food at scale is more efficient than cooking it for yourself.

"as you learn to cook you gain an important skill, you gain independence ... being self-sufficient"

Right, drive yourself to work instead of using mass transit, make your own clothes, furniture, assemble your own microchips (you surely can't be a developer/admin without a microchip, so that one is very important to be self-sufficient). Don't forget to dig a hole and pump your own water!

Fallout is coming, we all need to cook right now!

Oh, and also it is much more interesting, than spending the same time on reading news/books or making something for other people!
Timeline of Climate Modeling
You're assuming or at least implying that everyone in the Blockchain/Decentralization community thinks that Blockchain is the answer to everything which in my experience is not the case.
There are a few errors in your argument:

1) "Hidden variable theories have been proven not to be applicable." This is flat out wrong. Bohmian mechanics is a deterministic hidden-variable theory of quantum mechanics which can do without a probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics by giving up locality. The choice is really between giving up locality or determinism. But you don't have to give up both and the Copenhagen interpretation certainly does not give up both.

2) There is no hidden variable in my example. A hidden variable, by definition, is a variable that is inaccessible to measurements. Moreover, my example doesn't depend on the "feet" at all and would work perfectly well without them. That being said, I think what you're actually referring to is that you already choose a certain color when you put your socks on, i.e. the socks' color is not uncertain even if you decide to not look at them until later. True but this is why half of my comment is discussing exactly this point. I admit, though, that I'm being a bit vague there, so here goes another example: Let's say a friend of yours blindfolds you and flips a coin to determine whether to give you a pair of blue socks or a pair of red socks. He subsequently hands you a pair of the respective color and you put them on and decide not to look at them until later. From your point of view, the chances of your left sock being red/blue is 50% each. However, no matter the outcome of your measurement of looking at your left sock, you can be sure that if you look at the color of your right sock afterwards, its color will always be the same as your left sock's one. The two results are correlated. Now, I hope you won't argue that this is still not quantum mechanics because in QM a sock can be multiple colors at the same time whereas classically/in my example they cannot and will always have a certain color, no matter our (lack of) knowledge. This is exactly the point. If I could explain away quantum mechanics through a classical example like this we wouldn't need a non-local or non-deterministic model of our world. But Bell's inequality tells us otherwise. Anyway, what my example does demonstrate is that even for measurements whose outcome is probabilistic, correlations between the results (or "coordination" as you call it) can perfectly well be explained through prior arrangement, i.e. an arrangement at a point in space and time that lies in the past light-cone of both measuring events. So no faster-than-light traveling is needed.

Now, of course this is not the most rigorous argument one can make. For a more rigorous one please refer to the C* algebras approach to quantum mechanics where "locality" can be defined a bit more precisely and regular quantum mechanics indeed turns out to be a theory respecting locality.

There is rubyspec, but it doesn't cover all possible paths, just the ones that the developers deemed important enough to test.

What I am curious to know is _what_ does ruby use besides rubyspec? Do they run tests against the top 100, 1000, etc rubygems before releasing? I know other communities like Rust (and even Perl) do this kind of regression testing. While this won't catch all possible regressions it seems like a reasonable starting point to uncover issues before a release.
Do you? I have Cosmote as well but I'm on IPv4, I guess the router is old. I don't think Cyta has IPv6 yet either (they didn't when I switched away to Forthnet last year, exactly for this reason).
Pulling cable simply isn't an option in many houses, particularly in Europe. It really isn't very unusual here to live in a >400 year old house. If you don't have conduits or accessible cavity spaces, it can cost thousands of dollars to pull cable. I'd have to replaster and repaint practically every room in my house. A mix of Powerline and WiFi is a far more practical proposition, even if it's occasionally unreliable.

The Double Ratchet Algorithm
And yet, in order to finance the construction of fancy student dorms, many universities require unmarried undergraduates to live in a dorm.

Speaking as a commuter in my student years, this boggles my mind.

Of course, any concerns about cost are dismissed by the big handwave of 'well, financial aid is available...'
I used to run random feed attacks on the aol/yahoo account fishers... basically feeding and submitting their forms with random names/emails, etc... so that they'd get so much bad data the good would be harder to sift through.

Then, iirc around 2001, there was some change in the law that made that action potentially a felony (regardless that my target was also probably illegal), I stopped doing it...

Overall more of a grey hat thing, but it was cool to play with... would set a new set targets almost every day, as I received fishing emails.

The NSF grant funds public research done (in principle) for the common interest.

ACME's logo on public research has little or nothing to do with ACME's logo on a private, commercial website. In the former case, it's a certification and proof-of-work (on behalf of the NSF). In the latter case, it's literally commercial advertising. I think comparing advertising to public research is a big fat red herring.

Here troyhunt.com has a business problem: environmental forces make "simple" sponsorship an unreliable source of revenue. It takes few users to get the sponsorship link blacklisted on EasyList as intrusive (read: unpalatable) advertising. Clearly, you cannot make money doing things this way.

There are no easy solutions, but native advertising seems to work.
