> This is totally bad. We need close to a 100% for v6 to make any sense.

Considering how it was 2% not many years ago, this is a huge improvement.

What's going to drive this further is that the cost of supporting IPv4 will increase more and more as IP-space is exhausted and ISPs will have to apply new hacks like CGN.

At that point getting people to IPv6 and IPv6-only will be a purely be about economics.
Gradient Boosting – The Coolest Kid on the Block
"...he passed some climbers who had spent the night on a ledge. He did his best not to wake them ..."
"Royalty free" seems like a red herring. I'm not familiar with MPEG2-TS in particular, but Chrome already happily plays H.264 on macOS, plus there is an explicit exception in H.264 license for non-paid (including ad-supported) content. I don't see how implementing HLS would increase Google's licensing cost in any way.

I appreciate the free software position. It seems MPEG-DASH is indeed better suited for it, though maybe only slightly [1]. (Regardless, turns out Apple did not release anything as copyleft this year, so maybe it's better that free software purists could not have watched the video?)

The case for "encumbered" options is simple: it's what's decoded in hardware, for users who prefer their device to last the entire video.

Encrypting the home directory ensures the privacy of your data should someone get his hands on your machine. Under the same scenario, full disk encryption would also gives you the guarantee the system hasn't been tampered with.
I'd add to that and say that there are non-death threatening things that are very enjoyable to control and master (a cello, a paintbrush, code). It just so happens that some of those things that are enjoyable to master also involves mastering not killing yourself.

I love driving (shifting with manual transmission, steering, car maintenance, safe driving, etc). Some of that is controlling metal and machine; some of that is controlling your environment and the safety of your life. Same with riding a motorcycle, except I spend a little more on the safety part of it. Some might think I do it for the thrill of cheating death. Yes, staying alive is a goal, but that's not the reason I ride!
Well, Apple has just released the 'smart keyboard' for its ipads, the 'smart' bit being that with a physical connection, "it doesn't need charging and automatically transfers data". Such innovation! Something keyboards have been lacking for decades...
I have the exact opposite view. Fundamentally, many people look at Pinterest for ideas about stuff they want to buy - that's usually the perfect spot to be if you want to make money on advertising.

If anything, just seems like Pinterest has big execution problems more than business-model problems.
> I suspect that what is niggling me is that perhaps YC and all the other venture capitalists maybe are really now acting and advising what is in their interests, which is really not in the interests of all these bright eyed new entrepreneurs.

Do you really doubt this, on any level? YC exists in order for the investors to secure a large stake in the next Facebook, no matter who that ends up being. They're not philanthropic, that's just the sales pitch.
World’s first driverless rail transit system unveiled in Hunan
I think what fooey meant (and what I agree with) is that what has changed now is that those apps exist at all: compared to ten or fifteen years ago, more apps are written now, they work better and on more platforms, and they are updated more frequently. Tools like Electron play a part in that.

Sure, we could wish that more effort would be spent while producing just as much. Realistically, though, that's not going to happen, and that's not due to people being lazy.

This is nice but what's unique about this? Is it significantly better or more performant? Is it just nice to have an integrated solution?

I'd love to see a breakdown of ARKit vs something like Vuforia. Here's a video with the equivalent functionality to the WWDC demo -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvE_7filGsY
Seems like this book is mainly about the author stumbling around due to lack of fundamental understanding and skills. It is awesome that he has been able to get stuff to work despite being a beginner. No amount of experience hacking things together will result in any true real progress, until he learns the basics he will be stuck in beginner trial & error mode each time he gets stuck.

It costs less to take the time to learn or pay a competent professional, than it does to stumble around in the dark. Taking the time to build the core competencies needed to solve simple stuff is more impressive than getting something to work despite not knowing what is going on.
Microsoft didn't invent AR so what's your point ?

Also, Apple has almost never been the first to do anything. Tim Cook even admitted this yesterday. What Apple brings to the table is an actual polished solution. Which having used Hololens extensively it absolutely is not.
Yeah. Back in the days in Poland, when communism was still 'live and well', every typewriter was registered. Also, phone calls were monitored, but at least they had the courtesy to play a message "calls are monitored" before each call.

ARKit does not require dual cameras. I'm running it now on a single camera iPhone.
Yes, I'm a little concerned about this too; we've all presumably watched most of the startup talks and I know more information about this stuff than I think I really need to. It's easy to follow the checklist of things not to do but proving out new ideas is always going to throw up specific challenges.

I'm more concerned about the detail focused questions like which features I should build first, how should I test (with a proper statistical probability) and a low number of users? What leads us astray most as startup founders (apart from investors and running out of money)? How can I simplify this feature so it takes me a day to try rather than 4-5 days? Should I remove it if no-one liked it or persevere with improvements?

I mean even stupid questions like what size should I make my DB server if I'm posting my startup to Show HN on a Friday afternoon? What logging/dashboard/analytics should I set up to start?

The problem is I'm not sure someone who talks to me once per week would be anything other than a sounding board for my own thoughts as I should know my business so much better than they ever could.

The real reason to do YC of course is their unmatched network of people and the brand recognition you get when talking to investors...

You seem to assume that when Chomsky reports on the elite opinion about democracy, in the second quote, this reflects his own position. Exactly the opposite is the case.
I thought the same thing but I set up arch on my main machine a couple of months ago and apart from the setup pain, it has been a much smaller hassle than I anticipated. It's pretty stable, didn't have any breakage until now. I love it!

But I do admit the initial setup was pretty intense, I loved the learning experience.

I'm also using Cinnamon, on Arch. It's quite clean and nice. :)
100s of engineers working on an outage is a mess. It is more likely you have a handful of them on a given outage.
That wouldn't be so surprising (since the Environment Dept. head wanted to abolish it too, and Betsy Voss I'm sure wants to abolish the Education Dept). The surprising thing is that he believed that the Dept of Energy was to do with regulating the "Energy" aka Oil and Gas industries.
Key thing with what Apple is doing is that it's completely marker less AR.
Yes, but problems are more likely to occur when engineers alter the system in some way. Now if you are in control, you can decide about windows of time in which you don't want something bad to happen (which is of course a reduced probability, not an absolute guarantee, but still the point stands).
Then don't create a prototype to begin with. I have had zero issues when clearly communicating these things. If you want me to prototype things, then fine, but I'm not signing it off to production. If they overrule me anyway without a really good reason, I'll find somewhere else to apply my skillset.
Oh, then maybe the $5000 "Commercial Suite"?

For a large ISP, that's 20% less traffic through their very expensive, slow CGN system.

An incrementing index suggests comparison. If you are closer to friend #35 than you are to friend #8, it can feel strange to be exposed to that kind of numbering.
It's forcing people to use browsers that support HTTP Live Streaming which is Safari (on any platform) and Microsoft Edge.

I haven't tried it myself, but I guess one option would be to use DHCPv6 with low lifetime timers? That way router could stop advertising the prefix from upstream that no longer works.
This would be really good answer in my view and could go in several different directions to talk about performance and trade-offs. I'm much more interested in that, than in going into B-tree details.
> GC types in WebAssembly. That's still an open problem, but that would give you API access.

Nothing prevents one to implement a GC on top of existing WebAssembly as it is, no different than when implementing bare metal runtimes.

Of course having a GC as part of WebAssembly does simplify implementations, but only as an easy solution, because the best GC implementations need to be language aware for optimal performance.
Actually based on rumours the glasses were coming soon like this year.
YC was always about startups and growth. Ramen profitability was an important milestone because then you weren't dependent on fundraising to survive. But it was always just a milestone, and YC's goal qua investor was to fund companies with a chance of growing big. By the time I got there in 2009 it was quite explicit, but it was clear before then too.

On the point of not growing big, though, there was one area where YC did something fundamentally new: they supported whatever the founders wanted to do. If the founders decided not to try to grow big or to take an early exit, YC was always supportive. But this wasn't because they regarded such outcomes as successful from an investment point of view (they're not). It was because they were decent people. And pg used to say that pushing founders to do something they didn't want to wouldn't work anyway.
So what's the current situation with battery life on the Tesla and other full EV vehicles? I have a Prius (which uses NiMH, so not really the same but still) - some people have had the battery die under 100,000 miles, and others have everything still working fine at 300,000 miles. With the Prius it seems that concerns about battery life are rather unwarranted.

Indeed, but that is where we, as engineers, have to stand our ground, and say "not possible". A good executive will then ask, "what do you need to meet the goal?" and you can start to have a productive conversation.

I could go on about this, I have had this argument many times and I have yet to have highups question my competency or dismis my arguments. I do always leave the door open with something along the lines "I can hire 4 developers and 1 QA, minimize time to shipping, but we will drop all current support. We will have significantly more bugs in 1.0 and if they want any major changes a rewrite is needed". If that is what they want, I'm a fool for not delivering, but I also know to start looking for a different job.

The #1 mistake IETF did was not making IPv6 compatible with IPv4. It's hard to comprehend for most, bug essentially we're building a whole new separate Internet. The old Internet, or the Internet Classic (v4) and the New Internet - The v6 Internet. IPv6 is a totally new protocol - new L2 interaction with Neighbor Discovery (i.e. has no concept of default gateway), new routing tables, new route-maps, nes access lists, new BFD,... Therefore new topology, new routing behavior, new resiliency and redundancy mechanisms... Just because hardware allows running v4 and v6 stacks side by side, it doesn't make them compatible, just easier to implement by not having to buy new hardware for both.
The only scalable solution to make our planet a better place is curtailing population growth.
At its core, YC is a VC entity, and as such is competing for promising investment possibilities. IMHO YC's move to "accept 10K new companies" is a smart attempt in attempting to extend their reach to get the first pick at the commodity. We will see if it will work out. Either way, it is great to see YC to lead the way - they have done a lot for the community already.

Disclaimer: Been once in that orange place in Palo Alto, and I am not a fan-boy. However, I do remember the dark ages around 2005, when there was nothing in Europe that was even worth to compare to this accelerator program. YC has greatly helped to change the landscape.
As a small business owner inventor, and patent owner I think what the parent is talking about is the PTAB and the Inter Partes Review (IPR) process that is very expensive for a patent owner to defend against and. Lee is seen as someone who could place more limits on IPR's but has not. This directly benefits large companies at the expense of small patent holders.

For example, say you as a small time inventor have a valid patent on some great new widget. Big company X starts selling the widget you invented, you approach them and ask if they would license your patent, Big company X can afford to keep filing IPR's against your patent and it will cost you ~$200,000 each time. Big company X can milk you dry and draw things out for years so it becomes much more difficult as a small business to defend and license your patent. Lee seems to have really helped large tech companies at the expense of small inventors.

But why /65 is such a big deal? You can divide it in 32 different /70 subnets, one per company. That still leave you with 2^58 IPs by company. You can still even use MAC addresses in your IPs.
Crappy documentation for dynamically typed code has often made me read my dependencies.

Statically typed languages are much more likely to be self documenting, though occasionally, with Golang for example, they will return a structure with the same name as another structure in the program, and it's hard to figure out which of these is being returned.

Latest stable software (this is such a massive deal), it's as lean as you want it to be, and you have the AUR where you can install pretty much any piece of software on the internet in one command. Once you get it running (which doesn't take long once you know what you're doing), it does exactly what you want it to do, is always running the latest and greatest, and in my experience lets me get what I want done faster than anything else.

Slackware and Debian are nowhere near as current as Arch, and don't have anything near comparable to the AUR.

The main downside of Arch is that you want to be updating somewhat regularly (every couple months at max). This isn't an issue for desktops/laptop I regularly use, and I run Arch on my home server that gets updated around monthly, but it's not a "set and (almost) forget" like Debian stable or CentOS.

EDIT: I run Arch on my work laptop and my home server (which runs my blog and some services) and it's never fallen over in several years. Occasionally updates will require me to do something, but if there's an update that requires manual intervention they post about it on archlinux.org.

How to make best use of mangoes during pregnancy
The answer is yes. Although the consumption of mango during pregnancy is surrounded by myths and superstitions, you can relish these fruity yields while you are expecting. As you can see, iron, vitamin C, A, and B6, folic acid, and potassium are all essential for the growth of your baby. And thankfully, mangoes are rich in all of these.

My setup is running just fine for 5+ years.

Compared to when I use Ubuntu, have to upgrade every 6 months and suddenly I got headache because all custom configuration doesn't work anymore or custom repository doesn't work anymore because the maintainer is missing.

Slackware is fine, but Patrick and a bunch of guys is only a small team, and custom package can only do so much. Bless him and may Guinness always flow freely.

Debian is problematic, because their libraries are usually old.

I'm running Kubuntu right now, not that I'm a huge ubuntu fan, but it has the latest KDE plasma desktop with the debian package manager if you just want a KDE that works with minimal effort plus a kick ass package manager and you can upgrade without reinstalling like Fedora. I know how to do stuff manually, I'm old lol, but I use Linux as my main desktop OS and have been for years. More years than I like to think about because it just reminds me how old I am now. It's nice to just be able to install a distro and be up and running in a few hours instead of a few days. You can add grsec (are anything else kernel related) to any distro, just compile a kernel. If your going for the retro thing, Slack and BSD's is the way to go. I guess what I'm getting at is what need is Arch trying to fulfill?

Currently Nissan Leafs can be bought here in the Bay for about 7k at under 50K miles, with 80%+ capacity on them. Depreciation on those things is crazy due to the tax subsidy, and the fact that better electric cars are coming to market.

I'd consider getting one of those when prices tank even further thanks to the Model 3, and upcoming Lea,f to supplement my hybrid.

Incidentally, I don't think battery life concerns are completely unwarranted - my hybrid's battery failed, and if it weren't for the extended emissions warranty in CA, I'd have been SOL. People seem to be aware of this, and it is evident in used hybrid prices, which many times cost about the same, and sometimes less that it's conventional counterpart.

Due to its severe depreciation, I believe that if a Leaf's battery failed outside the warranty, the car is totalled.
