I live pretty close to some train tracks, so I observe trains on a regular basis. There are a fair number of coal cars, which I guess is a "low value commodity", but that portion is dwarfed by the overwhelming majority of rail cars that transport intermodal shipping containers. Is everything in a shipping container a low value commodity? Would it really be faster to transport containers by truck, so they would actually only travel 10 out of every 24 hours? You seem to really misunderstand freight shipping.

I'm using the technique called "Productive Meditation" described in the "Deep Work" book.

In its core, you choose to walk outside for one Pomodoro, while using focused meditation, where the focus is not on the breath (or any other part of the body), but rather on a specific question that you need to find an answer for.

Also, I use the same technique when I'm commuting by the public transport from work to home and home to work.

For the technique to work, it is important to be proficient with focused meditation. So one needs to train first to be able to consistently focus on something simpler than a question (breath, or feet, or your surroundings, or food you eat).

> It sucks at being compatible with ipv4. The "billion dollar mistake" :-)

You cannot make it compatible. The whole point is address extension, and a legacy IPv4 endpoint cannot possibly talk to a new, extended-address endpoint.

> It also sucks at having software/hardware stacks nearly as well debugged as those for ipv4, which means running ipv6 at all is a security risk.

There is no "stack". The software above the IP layer is still UDP, TCP, HTTP, SMTP, ...

> Nobody would switch for sundry technical advantages.

Yeah, actually, lots of competent people do, because NAT and duplicate addresses just cause so many pointless problems.

> As soon as "we" seriously "move to ipv6", however, the scarcity driven pressure to convert is relieved.

Yep, the pressure to convert will be relieved because people simply won't bother setting up IPv4 in the first place at some point because it adds so much unnecessary complexity, so no need to convert. And once that happens, even the last holdouts will enable IPv6, at which point IPv4 will be a largely useless legacy protocol that just causes maintenance costs for nothing.
This is kind of weird rule since a MS is said to contain 1k loc. And having a full team (other than one guy) for 1k loc is... well how can you screw up so little code? The hard part isn't the teams. The hard part is to know what a MS should contain and still be useful.

Meh, not major problems. Those will inevitably go away as more and more people adopt ipv6.

However, I feel as though maybe developing countries might stubbornly stay on ipv4. They're already double-NATing right now, and it's likely that developed countries will sell off their ipv4 ranges once they've made the switch.
On the contrary, it's quite true. I'm a little disturbed by how readily people ascribe nefarious intent to assertions regarding things they have not experienced themselves. You might not have experienced problems, but that does not logically imply that it is free of problems.

A few months back, I booted my Ubuntu 16.10 workstation. No ZFS datasets were mounted at boot. Regular "zfs mount" and "mount" failed. Could not get the datasets to mount at all, even though the pool was active and the datasets were visible. Solution: changing the mountpoint worked for some reason. Still no idea what triggered this or why the fix worked. Either way, it broke the system's normal functioning through no intervention of my own.

I've also had the zfs and zpool commands get stuck in "D" state indefinitely because something internal had blocked everything. Mounted filesystems continued to work, but no admin commands would work. Triggered by running some trivial admin function. After a few days I had to hard reset the system to regain control. This looks like a locking bug.

I've also had poor behaviour when a disc glitched and I got an oops rather than ZFS coping with the short outage. IIRC I got the same "D" state issue as above.

I never encountered any such problems with FreeBSD, and I've run it on both platforms for years. ZFS on Linux is functional, and I use it daily, but the FreeBSD implementation is better.
Exactly. I (like most people) went through the "photograph everything" phase when I first got a digital camera. Then you have the realisation that when you're looking at your album, you skim through the empty scenes to find the photos with people in.
The two biggest arguments are Carrier Grade NAT and dodgy transitional stacks.

1) ISPs are increasingly deploying Carrier Grade NAT, which puts several people behind a single IP. This completely breaks end-to-end as you can't port forward but if you're running a website, the worst issue is if you ban an IP address, you could be cutting off several legitimate users to get rid of 1 person. It's like banning a whole country because of a few people which Wikipedia has done in the past by mistake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:82.148.97.69 see https://techcrunch.com/2007/01/01/wikipedia-bans-qatar/ This problem will only get worse as time goes on. The Internet is starting to feel broken when an entire country shares a single IP address.

2) In some cases, ISPs might address the shortage slightly differently, by serving up an IPv6 address that proxies back to your website over IPv4. To you it looks like Carrier Grade NAT, but you can actually do this yourself if you have an IPv6 enabled server (Linode, DigitalOcean work) and use nginx to reverse proxy. That way you can at-least set an X-Forwarded-For header that will give you better analytics and more precise blocking. Either you do it or the ISP will do it for you but give absolutely no data.

Kind of like your voting system?

I hear it has effectively no privacy.

Very generous of you to accept my intentions. Perhaps next time you could not build a tower of assumptions on top of a single sentence that ends with concluding the other person is evil?

That sounds like a horrible way to grow up, and yes people on the streets do die from exposure. Presumably they also get infections that can kill them, get beaten to death, get in to fights over who stole whose lighter, etc.

In the London that I live in, the homeless are there for all sorts of reasons - poverty, mental illness, addiction, running away from a bad situation, and so on - and not all of these people will die if they are not on the streets. They might be in all sorts of worse (to them) situations - low paid menial job, mental institute, rehab, back home with abusive parents.

Most of the time, they have little choice. Or the alternative choice is worse. Forcing them off the street would not just be morally wrong, it would be largely ineffective. Unless you privatise the whole world.

The main issue that I see with private spaces is that it shifts the responsibility of low-level policing of the space from the public to security guards. Obviously the first people to come up against this will be the homeless, as they are most likely to be breaking whatever hidden rules these spaces have.

Anyway, I don't have the time to discuss this. Good luck with the infrastructure software, it looks well made.
The current isc-dhcp-server package in Debian testing has that comment, although there’s a line missing…

From that, it’s a little more clear that you should be uncommenting that option.

This news made me genuinely happy and hopeful for the future.

Hopefully, future governments won't turn back on this.
I doubt it's much different. Sure, the content itself is more invisible, but social dynamics are probably a more important factor to spread. I know if I notice my wife engrossed in something on her phone or computer, I'm gonna ask her what she's found just out of sheer curiosity, and that's if she doesn't bring it up first. Conversely, if I'm fascinated by something, I'm gonna tell my wife (even if she doesn't care, much to her chagrin), and I'm gonna tell 'errbody who I think might have even a passing interest. Maybe we are unique in this regard, but I suspect not, given the success of everything from StumbleUpon to Delicious to Facebook...humans are just wired to share with each other.

If you apply the "innocent until proven guilty" principle, it's not a bad idea. It should be proven that the accuser lied to get condemned. I would expect this to happen not that often - basically never when it's just "my word against your word" - but it would create a big risk for those who are rationally plotting to launch a false accuse - in the unlikely but possible case that evidence is found that they willfully lied, eg if there was a witness they didn't know about, if there was a recording of what happened, etc.
I know that petrol and diesel contribute massively to the air quality issues we have in major cities like London (where I live and work), but as a car lover I'm also disappointed by this measure and what it would mean for people like me who love our cars.

What I'd like to see more than anything is the following:

1. Diesel powered vehicles are banned from London's congestion charge zone from 2020. If you want to drive in this zone you must drive a petrol, PHEV or fully electric vehicle. Government provides incentives for taxi drivers to trade in their old diesel taxis for PHEV or electric.

2. All London transport is fully electric by 2020. Their current hybrid buses are a joke. They spend about 5 seconds between stops on battery mode and then almost immediately start up their diesel engines on leaving each stop.

3. All new econobox cars are fully electric within the next 5 years. UK government invests in providing charging stations at existing petrol stations across the UK.

4. Sports cars and performance cars still use petrol engines. We also undo the "engine downsizing" trend that was started to help meet unrealistic emissions regulations tests. When on boost, small turbo-charged petrol engines use more fuel than their larger, naturally aspirated predecessors.

Another problem this doesn't correct is the selection of what events to report on. To use an example from the article, terrorism would still dominate your news feed.
Lobotomy to your object oriented thinking – “Elegant Objects, volume 1” review
I managed a metal to AWS transition, and 5x definitely doesn't match the costs I experienced (in this specific case, it was around the lines of 1.2x).

I don't mean this case to be universal, in particular, I think cloud services force applications to have a particularly good/modular design (which is a cost in itself) - where, with metal, as you wrote, you can relatively cheaply overprovision.

I think the analysis you're making overlooks some important characteristics of the infrastructure engineering aspect.

Some typical network/infrastructure elements, in particular firewalling, load balancing, and network management don't necessarily belong to the "rocket science" type of application; they are easy to overlook in "type A" services, ending with a "kind-of-HA-but-not-really" infrastructure, which is ok, but it makes the comparison cloud <> metal not really meaningful, as in the cloud, those features are baked in ("almost" for free).

I'm very skeptical for example, that the 5x figure includes hardware for the above network equipment and management.

To summarize, it's perfectly fine not to have an "advanced" infrastructure but it must be highlighted that such conditions make a direct comparison incorrect.
Maybe you're right. However, it may be a good idea to have small percentage of your assets in high risky / high reward alternative assets

What I meant is that mining has a totally different way of using the GPU than graphics. For OpenGL you have to have X11 running and the correct libraries installed. Mining bypasses all that and uses OpenCL or CUDA instead.

Are planes less energy efficient than birds? Sure they consume more energy, but they can lift many orders of magnitude more weight. To carry that much weight, that much distance, you would need an unfathomable number of birds. Flying for a very long time.

The same with with brains. As far as I can tell, transistors are orders of magnitude more energy efficient than synapses. Synapses use tons of slow chemical reactions to send a signal. Transistors just send a few electrons near light speed.

Travel by interstate sometime, and you'll note that "end mile" trucking is a tiny fraction of the total. Of course this is because of the vast subsidies that truck freight enjoys.

If we get the self-driving thing figured out, I expect that last-mile freight will use fewer actual trucks than are used today. Rather, the typical robofreighter will be quite small. Every time I receive a truck freight delivery, the trailer is basically empty. They use a big tractor-trailer rig because they have to hire a driver anyway, and sometimes they have enough freight to fill the trailer.

Banning something is much more clear cut. The social benefits and costs can be discussed and we can come to an agreement democratically.

The main reason I haven't switched my networks to IPv6 is that I plainly don't want to support both protocols at the same time. If I could just switch over to IPv6 and leave v4 behind I would, but I just can't be bothered to do twice the work every time I setup a firewall or a router. Double the config, double the tests and on top of that you have to make sure everything inter-operates smoothly when IPv4 alone still just works.

As you mention in your other post it really is the "billion dollar mistake", it's obvious to me in hindsight that they should have made IPv6 completely backwards compatible with IPv4, no matter the cost. Have a deprecation procedure later on if you want to remove the hacks necessary to support IPv4. Have a clear and simple upgrade path, one step at a time.

Sure, having a clean new standard is compelling but clearly it's making things way more difficult that they ought to be. And that's how we end up more than 20 years after RFC1883 was released with "barely" 20% adoption. NATing was easier than IPv6, so people NAT'ed everything and the internet became the net.

I have the same view of anyone who tries to hold anyone, especially their kids, back from getting an education and having a decent life because of their own stupidity. Stupidity is disgusting in a society that provides opportunities for education and betterment like the US does. They may not be the best opportunities or all that abundant in some places, but those opportunities exist. This isn't about poor people at all, it's about stupid people who choose to stay stupid. Plenty of poor people strive to not be stupid and strive especially hard for their kids to not end up stupid and to have a decent life. I do, however, deride those who have opportunities to do so but do not take advantage of them and try to promote their own stupidity and actively prevent their children from taking advantage of opportunities because they think their stupidity is somehow part of a culture worth preserving. It's not. Such "culture" of stupidity is indeed quite sick to me and forcing something like this onto children borders on abuse. I never said such people couldn't be reached, however, nor that this is a trait of those in poverty. In fact, there's plenty of people far removed from poverty that hold tight to their own stupidity to the detriment of their children all over the world. Doesn't make it any less disgusting.
Usually it takes just one enthusiastic guy on the tech team to make things like IPv6 happen.

Let's be real on high availability. If you are honest with yourself, on the cloud that doesn't mean 2.. AWS regions but 2.. cloud providers. It's a yearly occurrence now that 90% of SaaS stop working because AWS is broken, and it's not any of the actually redudant parts like power supplies that are broken, but because a human pushed software or configuration and the whole thing came crashing down.
Many carbon reduction (or insidiously, pro car sales) policies have this effect. Poorer people spend a bigger portion of income on petrol, so petrol/carbon txes hit them harder. registration taxes or other requirements favour newer, more expensive cars (richer owners) which perform better relative to new (more carbon focused) standards.

In terms of political dynamic (in some of europe, in any case) the "side" of politics most concerned with avoiding regressive taxes is also the side most concerned with carbon levels, so we don't tend to have that discussion play out.

First LLC's don't have "shareholders" the owners/equivalent of an LLC is a Member.

The process would basically be as follows:

Say you form an Investment Club LLC, you create a smart contract/ICO with up to 99 tokens, and purchasers of the ICO tokens become a "member" of the LLC.

Thereafter, the Investment Club LLC members could create a smart contract/investment opportunity, but you would only be able to vote/invest if you are a token holder...you say there are no permission controls but this was exactly how the DAO was marketed to function, buy a Token for DAO and you could participate/vote on future DAO investment opportunities.
