The IANA blocks were exhausted in January 2011. All of the RIRs save AFRINIC exhausted their internal allocation pools since then: APNIC in April 2011, RIPE September 2012, LACNIC June 2014, and ARIN September 2015 (although note that the definition of "exhaustion" differs from RIR to RIR--ARIN in particularly relied on a truly-bone-dry definition whereas APNIC claimed exhaustion when they had less then a full /8 in their pool).

As of right now, ARIN appears to have exactly 0 IPv4 addresses--they can't even give out a block of 256 IPv4 addresses to someone who asks for it. All they can do is put you on a waiting list until someone else agrees to give up their IPv4 address space. Some people have been waiting since July 2015.
That's true, but the distributed, decentralised nature is something that the layman is often not interested in understanding, and so can turn people off the network. Neither does it have a cuddly name!
Confirmation Bias: Why You Should Seek Out Disconfirming Evidence
Raise prices immediately x3 if possible. You will lose some customers but make more with less work.
I read a paper some people wrote on the subject. Take away is battery powered pumps can be built as big, or importantly as small as you want. Turbo pumps on the other hand don't scale down well very well. Batteries win at the size of the electron rocket.

I would not be surprised if someone starts work on a larger electric rocket engine because the difference in efficiency is not huge. But however electric is a far simpler and potentially more reliable design. If electrics are super reliable the difference in insurance costs might tip things in their favor[1].

Once you have the necessary portable emissions testing equipment, how much work is it to test a vehicle?

I've been wondering why the researchers at WVU who found the VW cheating have not gone on to test a larger set of vehicles to see who else is cheating.
Totally understand that concern. Our goal's always been to have Twilio be free (or really close to it) while your app is in development.

We've got a trial account that will let you play around before spending any money. You'll only be able to text numbers that you've verified with us, but it should give you a feel for things (this is what the vast majority of students at Hackathons use).

If you want to give it a try: twilio.com/try-twilio

When you're ready to make the leap, $20 buys you about 2500 text messages in the US.

I feel like Clojure is more of a language that just happens to exist in the same package ecosystem as Java, and which offers a good syntax for fluently calling into the APIs those packages offer. Like Elixir with Erlang, or Rust with C.

You don't really need to know Java to write Clojure, though you do need to know things about the JVM and about the particular (Java) types that the JVM's reflection and concurrency primitives are built on. Just like Elixir still requires you to understand BEAM and OTP primitives, or Rust still requires you to understand the "C Abstract Machine" and (usually) POSIX primitives.

In at least the Clojure and Elixir cases, I don't think the runtime was chosen because anyone was expected to be familiar with the relevant abstract/virtual machine; they were chosen because BEAM and the JVM are just well-engineered VMs that have decades of research and bug-fixing and stress-testing put into them, and it's a "free win" for your language's production-readiness if you build on such a runtime. Interoperability with existing code in that ecosystem is also nice, but secondary; people using your language want to use your language, after all; if they wanted the best interoperability with Java, they'd just use Java.

(In the Rust case, [zero-overhead] interoperability with C code really was the paramount concern; but still, that's interoperability with existing C code, not the expectation that anyone would want to "take advantage of C" by writing hybrid Rust/C projects. If you're using Rust, you probably want to be writing Rust, not C.)

I think there's only a fine line between a reason and an excuse. An excuse is said with a culpable face and body language, while a reason is given neutrally, or maybe extra confident. You give excuses because you feel guilty, or give reasons because you know that you are right. I often force myself to do the latter - keeping an upright posture and a straight face helps a lot if you cannot get rid of the guilt feeling.
It's one thing to pick up stocks of market leaders (which may or may not be having a good time this year around) and another thing is to pick stock of noname startups from the bottom of the pile. Far more risk.

There's a reason early stage VCs do dd, it's to weed out complete garbage which wouldn't ever possibly do any return. Probably it is not worth scaling that and easier and more measurable to just stick such big amounts of money into later stages.

I know! Why do device manufacturers need to be pushed for this? We consumers keep buying stuff that has been put on the internet with little to no thought about security today or tomorrow.

IOT will get much worse before it gets better. I say this from working with device builders for 2 decades. The level of attention to security is sadly lacking.
I don't believe I've accused you of anything except being wrong, Mz, and furthermore your blog notes that you have a rare CFTR mutation, a milder form of the disease (I only briefly scanned so I may be wrong). That's awesome! Your quality of life is probably really high compared to the average CF patient!

But the only intervention that's lifestyle-y that I know of is chest physiotherapy. I'm glad that the person you found now feels better, but the data does not support your claim.

As someone who chose ClojureScript over many of the other compile-to-JS languages without using Clojure on the server, I disagree.

Especially if ClojureScript could become more attractive than (or at least have a real solid standing amongst) Elm/PureScript/etc., I could see that being a big boon to Clojure development as well.
I think it was my third time to be honest, I probably fully deserved it, I just think taking away people's ability to speak privately to people is verging on cruel and unusual, and from an uncaring perspective a fucking terrible way to instil trust in your service.

Like hey, do you want to use one of these messengers where you wont get banned for utter bullshit, or do you want to entrust your communication to a service where you can lose it for an arbitrary period for breaking some of our shitty prudish rules?
Interesting. Thinking out loud here, are Functions a new opening for Saas businesses? (tldr no).

If you have a big enough user base/set of use cases, the next step after opening an API to your service might be adding a Baas/Faas, so people with small use cases or prototypes can get started easily without using a server.

But it's not like Linkedin or Zenefits users would get more value out of "Linkedin Functions". It probably makes more sense if you can "eat" what would have been a separate (micro)service.

The one thing I don't see though, is if somebody is sold enough on Faas, why would they use your siloed Twilio Faas instead of AWS Lambda/whatever where you can interact with Twilio _and_ eg Shopify, Instagram, other APIs...

Maybe then an interesting idea for the big FaaS providers duking it out for market share right now might be an ability for SaaS providers to build "$YOUR_SAAS Functions" on top of their offering.
The end-user would see Lambda/Function/whatever templates pre-filled with the right API calls an a UI for choosing the different API-related triggers. This could be like the AWS marketplace, but for Faas.

So I guess the answer to my clickbait-ey question at the top is mostly likely no, but maybe, let's see it play out. It definitely feels like a good way to sell more API usage.

> political will

No, they really don't have any political will to do anything about the SEOs. That is why their debt is still ballooning in an unsustainable manner. Just as Japan didn't, and the Japanese economy is still held back by keeping failing business afloat. The entrenched elite is just too strong, in both Japan and China.

China may overcome the issues in a way Japan didn't, but the things you list apart from the political will (that they emphatically doesn't have) is plain irrelevant.
No, I only owned property in Tahoe, and continued to rent my primary residence. My point is that I was a "homeowner".

Not sure where you are commuting to, but from Vallejo to SF is only 30 miles, and yes, I did it. If you are on the peninsula I would not consider Vallejo, but then there are other places further South that are probably also similarly priced.
Same with airplane engines.
As I understands it, the US restricts how often cars can require DEF top-ups so strictly that it's impossible to meet both the emissions requirements and the top-up interval requirements with a reasonably sized tank.
No, neither would be even somewhat true. Of course it's open to interpretation as all language is, but "so I can't" heavily implies there was nothing more to be said about it, because everything else is apparent from context. With regard to the parent, that's a lie in the sense of obscuring ulterior motives. An apt phrase to describe this is lie by omission. In your sense, it's to weasel out, for lack of a better word, because it implies you are too worn out to even argue - without alleging you had ulterior motives.

Can the callback URL use an IP address, or does it need to be a proper DNS name? Can it have a self-signed certificate? Does it even need to be secured?

If the callback URL can use an IP address and doesn't require https, you could set up a Digital Ocean droplet for it in a couple of minutes. Or you could set up a port-forward on your router and run an HTTP server on your machine, but I think the Digital Ocean route might be quicker.
I love the new popularity of lambda/functions as a service. each provider can now give you a custom code to do whatever you like, stripping away the needs for servers and that what i can really see as a full "micro-service"

I think explaining your own actions in games is a weird thing to ask for. It requires "aboutness" (that you're thinking about the problem). Aboutness is a really inefficient way to handle problems, but it's handy because we can apply it to all new situations, because we have general intelligence. Conversely, when humans have trained hard at a task, they generally lose aboutness, like an ANN. Things are done on instinct, feeling etc. In short, the NN has been trained, and general intelligence is no longer required to do the task. Indeed, it's been superseded.

More damningly for this kind of survey: Aboutness for a single task is not the same as general intelligence. And it's general intelligence that we want.

Old bash scripts != cryptic one liners.

I had used very readable and documented scripts that would build images, boot VMs, deploy on physicals, configure network devices with hundreds of SLOC by simply calling the right CLI tools instead of (re)writing many thousands of lines in $language.

I was in a company around 2002 doing immutable deployments by updating images from git-tracked config files for whole datacenters.

E.g. calling to debootstrap takes few lines. Generating an ISO. Configuring PXE to serve it...

Comparative Genomic Evidence for Self-Domestication in Homo Sapiens

I don't believe ML researchers are unqualified -- it's more of a potential incentive problem. I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that people involved with / employed by a technology may have a tendency to exaggerate its benefits.

Ideally I'd trust the numbers here more if there was at least a cross-section of knowledgeable people being surveyed across a few different disciplines (or at least more than one).
I claim I am doing something groundbreaking. Your claim amounts to refuting the idea that anything new can be done, that the outcomes we currently have is as good as it gets.

Despite various publications of results where hand washing reduced mortality to below 1%, Semmelweis's observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community. Semmelweis could offer no acceptable scientific explanation for his findings, and some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands. Semmelweis's practice earned widespread acceptance only years after his death, when Louis Pasteur confirmed the germ theory and Joseph Lister, acting on the French microbiologist's research, practiced and operated, using hygienic methods, with great success. In 1865, Semmelweis was committed to an asylum, where he died at age 47 of pyaemia, after being beaten by the guards, only 14 days after he was committed.

Hand washing. What a silly idea. Let's just put this guy in a loony bin for how completely insane he is.

Edit: Also, the person found me. I didn't find them.
I can tell from that statement that you've never called in sick because the entire rear axle of your vehicle was sitting off to the side because you needed a critical part from the dealership to put it back together :-)

No, many won't risk that. But there are any number of things that many people won't do. Car people are full of stories about staying up all night to reassemble the engine so they could get to work the next day.
Related to this I'd recommend Adam Grant's Bestseller Give and Take. The surprising conclusion is while some "Givers" end up at the bottom, other "Givers" also end up at the top. The key to doing good and doing well is to practice what he calls "generous tit for tat".
Thanks, that's pretty interesting. Seems they recommend bringing 12 bottles at 2.6kg for about 70 pounds of just oxygen tanks total for the whole climb, and 5 on the actual summit attempt, for ~30 pounds. That's already a lot of weight before you get to all of the clothes, food, water, climbing gear, and other supplies.
Thank you very much. I will seek help.
So she did something illegal and got caught? I'm not really sure what the takeaway is here - if you're going to do something illegal and not take even the most basic security precautions (set up a VPN, use TOR, etc.), then of course you will get caught.

It's unfortunate Alexander Shulgin[1] wasn't mentioned - more or less he's the person most closely associated w/ MDMA and self experimented with it and some 200+ other compounds he synthesized - many done w/ a group of like minded chemists/researchers at Berkeley during the 60/70s.

Reports of those experiences in his books are credited with innovating the 'trip report' used at places such as Erowid... which is more or less the gold standard for the modern-day psychonaut.

> Recall years back when "the facebook" was the new kid on the block...and folks were asking something along the lines of "why would i want to join this thing called facebook if my friends/family are all on friendster/whatever-social-network-was-popular-back-then/etc.?"

And how did Facebook actually solve the chicken-egg problem you just referenced?

I'd love to get some citations for any of the federated social networking platforms-- Diaspora, Gnu Social, Mediagoblin, Mastodon, etc.-- that link to a carefully considered and workable plan for mass adoption that any of them carried out at any point in their history. For reference you can look at the Wikipedia entry for Facebook (hint: it involves universities and enormous amounts of money).

I don't think any part of that last sentence is true...

As the other reply to you stated, I'm afraid we can't stand it, but also can't execute change.

Elect new blood to state and federal government? They are bought out and/or go Benedict Arnold.

Activism? Sometimes it works, but it is a very dangerous game of whack a mole that can send you to prison and get you surveilled.

Donate to pressure groups? Works decently well but lobbyists (see SOPA) resurrect zombie bills.

Btw our police forces literally shoot on sight and will beat the crap out of you while arresting you with NO legitimate basis.

Our courts are expensive to navigate.

People can hack you and confiscate your bank account for a variety of reasons.

Background checks with any blemishes can result in you not being hired at any average corporate job.

Friends will subtly ostracize you if you are too much of a renegade.

Our political system is not friendly to third parties.

And if you go abroad, we tax your income and btw there's a $2500 fee to renounce citizenship :)

So unfortunately the US government is more like a mafia at times that has many legitimate and dangerous powers granted to it.

The USA has both boots firmly planted on our throats, but most of our citizens like being choked out.
Before some advice, a few quick questions:
1. What other things are you doing? Are you sleeping/staying in bed all day? Are you eating normally?
2. What kind of things do you like to do? Have you been doing them over the past few months?
3. What's your social life like?

Okay, now some advice based on what you originally posted:
1. Continue your weight training. If you can afford it, get a personal trainer or start going to exercise classes. Research has shown time and time again that exercise is one of the most important things to do when depressed. But when you're depressed it can be hard to motivate yourself to exercise. Making the gym a validating environment by seeking out a personal trainer or exercise class could motivate you to go! In addition, it is less likely that you would hurt yourself with someone guiding you through proper technique and giving you adjustments.
2. Seek out a therapist. I have been in an incredible amount of therapy and can say from personal experience that it is one of the best things that you can do. If you have the time or finances to seek out a DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) program, I highly suggest doing so. It is far more structured than traditional CBT therapy, by pairing individual therapy with skills coaching that focus on mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Through DBT I've become a lot more mindful, so I can recognize when I meet my limits and accept that. DBT is truly life changing.
3. Create a work-life balance. Working 24/7 simply isn't feasible or effective. Find activities that you enjoy doing and make a point to do them on a daily basis. For instance, I love to cook and make meals from scratch. So spending time meal planning/researching and cooking is a huge stress reliever and I get a daily "chore" done!
4. Change your mindset. View each bump on the road as a chance to improve and learn. Approach rather than avoid and face your fears. If at first, you don't succeed, analyze what went wrong and how you can improve for next time. Never give up. Validate and celebrate your accomplishments.

Go to therapy. Try different styles and different therapists until you find one that is the right fit.
I know that for many years the eyeball networks in the US were dragging their feet in their IPV6 rollouts but I believe this has changed dramatically. Spectrum(Time Warner) states 90% of residential[1] is now on IPV6 and Comcast was at 30% 4 years ago[2]:

Yeah, if anything, for American cities all the evidence points to increased suburban sprawl with no end in sight. People too poor to own a car and pre-baby professionals may not need cars, but the rest of the American population generally does and chooses to do so.
Connections are relevant in the form of groups, which are private to you: you use them to set conversation audiences and control whose conversations appear in your news feed.

Our target audience is those who want to converse online without the restraints and commitments of social media services which aim to addict rather than to support and convey language.

We don't aim to enable the discovery of interesting links - Reddit has this completely down. But it's no good for conversing in a focussed way with people you know.

Letters and email link people internationally in ways that are impossible on Facebook or Twitter. When you receive an email, you read it in a focussed space without distractions; and you're aware of the fact that it was personally sent to you as opposed to broadcast to a large channel. Narrowcast will always be a personal experience than coming across a message delivered by a mysterious algorithm.

Lyra does have a public news feed in which conversations are viewable to all users. If you add people to your groups and set the feed to view only these, it's the exact equivalent of Facebook.

What we don't do is offer particular spaces (hashtags or subfora) because these instantly offer a target for harrassment and abuse, and require moderation. Lyra's design makes it trivial for people and topics which are vulnerable to abuse, to control their reading and avoid it.
