Asking genuinely out of curiousity, what do you experience during this periods of 'blackout'? Is it the mind wandering onto other thoughts or focusing on one specific item?
This sounds more like poor DHCP configuration on your side? DHCP going down doesn't remove anything unless your client decides to time out it's current address configuration - of which there's no incentive to do on a server.

Moreover if routing was being propagated by DHCP, why was that not the case for IPv4 as well which would presumably be using it ?
incentive* and yes, I agree.

I actually tell my ISP when they call me to upgrade that I will not upgrade to a higher package unless that package has IPv6 enabled. I am probably the only person who does this.

What I did instead was set up a HE.net tunnel so I can actually have IPv6 (albeit with a smaller MTU, but you're unlikely to notice). What I gain is the ability to run my own little services at home again, no NAT punching! no complicated rules.. I have a salt master that connects to my IPV6 enabled VPS' (which is all of them, thankfully), I have all my mail listening on VPS's with IPv4 and IPv6 which take in my mail and deliver it to a harddisk at my house essentially. Anything S2S can happen directly.. and it's nicer even on IPv6 enabled networks that I happen to be on when travelling (Mobile operators are increasingly IPv6)..

But it's unreliable to be IPv6 only, I can only access my home from other wifi networks at a ratio of about 1:20..

But I long for the day where it's ubiquitous and I can shit on wifi operators for not supporting it.. that day will come.

I mean last year IPv6 adoption more than doubled and is sitting at around 22%~ of all traffic.. so that's something.
That's the most preposterous assessment I've heard of the genome project. The reason it costs so little now is because of the tech development that happened to make the genome come together.

Not sure how you are going to sequence to find out what things do without having that map. And I sat that as someone who is entirely interested in what things do and is not so interested in the map itself (check my profile)
Is there a battery API for websites? The old one was deprecated because it caused too many issues (e.g. with fingerprinting).
No, but you can solve the problems you can solve. That will give you currency to buy respect, trust, and responsibility.

I'm not suggesting you shouldn't do anything without getting permission first, but for the things you do need permission for, the above advice might help.
This seems to answer the question: https://ipv4.potaroo.net/
The first diagram shows that IPv4 will be quite tight around 2020.
I'm not disputing 5G is faster, but was congestion taken into account for this test? 4G for me is noticeably slower than when I first got a 4G phone, primarily because the network has become more congested as it became the mainstream.
Sometimes framework peeps can get caught on complex stuff because it's more interesting. While talking about static analysis, HOCs, immutable thunks and so on is cool, I'm glad Sarah went down to planet Earth to speak to the mortals. There's a lot of market potential for Vue in legacy sites.
That's a really good question. I don't have the answer but I'd like to know too.

neither is possible with no revenue or only dev-kit revenue. you are overlooking the third option: do an ICO.
It's already happening. It's not completed, and it will take time for publicly available services.

At some point having IP4 on your public gateways will be seen like FAX in your office. You can't turn it off because a small minority is still using it. The importance is dwindling and at some point you will turn it off and nobody will notice.
I am saying the exact opposite. Their ToS were so broad prior to the recent update, that if you trusted their ToS, using their service was difficult to justify.
Now they have switched to more reasonable ToS and I am giving fastmail a try.
No amount of trust can justify overly broad power of termination. If they're never going to exercise that power, why to have that in the ToS. Considering how important a part of our digital lives email is, it makes sense to expect your account does get terminated only in rare circumstances,(when required by law).
I am glad fastmail too realized this and updates their ToS.

> "When I pursue a career in this field, how will my coworkers perceive me?"

In all honesty, recently I've seen underperforming women get promoted to positions they shouldn't have been promoted to because of political pressures, so there is going to be some sense of "is she competent or is she a diversity hire/promotion?" They also might think, does she really enjoy tech, is she a nerd like me, or is she just looking for a cushy office job in software that the "diversity/women-in-X" groups are so loudly promoting.
List of Machine Learning / Deep Learning Conferences in 2018
Practitioners are usually concerned about what is true in practice. Weaker computational models have found great success in databases and parallel programming (e.g. Googles MapReduce) because they are easier, in practice, to reason about and optimise.
1. This just begs the question: why are men more ambitious and successful?
2. Clearly, this “decision” that women make when they’re 12 doesn’t effect them in many other fields, including life sciences, law, etc, because they are the majority in those fields.
I don't think he intended to insult anyone, but I also don't think it's unreasonable to believe that people could be insulted based on what he said. That's the gray area your binary distillation completely ignores. It's a little more nuanced than "he hurt my feelings!"

I regret not playing more with the old PCB though, like checking capacitors or resistors values.
If you read the first sentence of the comment you replied to you will see that I gave a very specific example.

Copyright and patent law are cornerstones of the economy, removing them outright without due consideration of the consequences is simply irresponsible.

A measured approach is advisable and doing this step-by-step would seem to be the wiser course of action. If you feel that radically dropping both copyright and patent law from one day to the next is the way to go then the onus is on you to show that this will not have unintended consequences, not on me.

So: be specific.
All this also assumes that SAT scores map well to interests and not aptness.

You might do well enough for a PhD in maths and in sociology and still decide try to become carpenter because you love working with wood more than sitting in an office, no matter if you're arguing math or social contexts.

iOS devices in general. Spend two months away from one and you'll have about 3-5 modals pop up at different times while you just start to use the device. Awhile ago I was using an old iPad, dismissed a several modals and started reading. One modal that I dismissed previously came not more than two minutes later again, completely interrupting me. Stopped using it after that, wanted to throw it against the wall.

What standard is this now? Last time I tried to read up on 5G, it was described as a collection of ideas for a new standard rather than one specific technology. IS this still the case (i.e. different companies work on competing technologies) or does 5G by now mean the same for all companies?
I don't mean specifically to compare to biology, but even within physics, is ITER a good place to put research money? Though I'm not a physicist, it seems that even many other fusion projects would be better bets.
I used to be in the R&D department for a large company that included a major movie studio. They wanted to develop a system that would find people filming the screen in theaters.

The system worked by exploiting the fact that all cameras at that time, including phone cameras, had a IR filter over the sensor that was a retro-reflector at IR wavelengths.

Behind the screen at three separated places were three IR sources and detector cameras.

If the detector cameras at the same points as the sources saw a bright dot from any two of the three locations that was coming back from the illuminator (the light was modulated so we could determine if it was ours) we knew we had a camera!

The system worked, but deployment in theaters never happened in a big way, other than a few theaters used for screenings in LA.

Train PhD students to be thinkers not just specialists
Well, actually it's more like there are not that many average people. Let me explain...

When you hear that an average family earns $50k/year, what (I think) is really happening is that many earn under $25k and few earn over 100k.

I think same thing applies to individual people.

I used to work as CNC machinist, and most of my coworkers were either really good or ok enough to not get fired.

I as a developer now feel I'm below average, and I've met many like myself. Then there are really good devs out there I get inspired by.

Just my 2c.
It explicitly calls itself an "essay".
Been looking for an answer to a related question on this.

DRM technologies like "white box crypto," seem to be designed for the same use case. Is encoding sensitive operations in an application using these techs not a viable medium term mitigation as well?
It's interesting. On its own it won't let you identify anyone, even though it's unique. But if there is out there any database mapping computer configurations to identities then it does. There doesn't seem to be a reason to believe that such a database does not exist.
Doesn't this then refute your original point? ITER is expensive because we're developing the tech to build fusion power.

The underscoring point of people talking about cost is simply: do you have a better way?

Before the LHC came online there were people claiming that after the magnet quench event it cost too much and we should cancel the project.
Denmark has 5M people and average temps between 0 and 17C.

11 reasons why email marketing matters
I'm afraid the doctrine of "if it looks bad, it must be good!" is not in fact true or generally applicable. And it's not what Graham is saying, for that matter. If you read a bit further:

"It also reminds you that the vast majority of ideas that seem bad are bad."

The idea of running up every web browsing computer to 100% CPU, costing them tens of dollars in electricity while giving you a few cents of cryptocurrency, seems bad and is bad.
He is saying that it is an approximation (see in comments):
"I looked at what I thought were comparable regions. I checked several frames of the video and the frame at 0:51 in the article is what I used. The method is admittedly very approximate as you have to guess the “gamma curve” of the video capture device to back out the linear value (I used a gamma of 2.2)."

- the proving launch mass is only the mass of a Tesla? i mean thats great but i would have expected a much bigger mass for a fully functional satellite. but then again I dont know anything about satellites. how big are those? its definitely not space shuttle big. is the Falcon Heavy able to carry something as big as the space shuttle?

- i thought starman was orbiting mars. how does orbital decay look for something small like starman since it really can just get pulled in or out by basically any nearby planet?
While unlikely to disappear completely, it can certainly decline to a much smaller niche. If you recall the state of PC gaming before Steam took off, it was in a decline.
Nothing is going to change unless there is a real issue by not having ip v6 which will force users to jump to the ISPs which do support it and abandon the ones who don't.

My understanding is that there is a real cost for ISPs to make IP v6 available, but zero need to (upgrade of thousands of pieces of hardware equipment - is that still true?). There is no consequences for not doing so.

Does anyone know of there's truth to the Rachel Carson/DDT-ban side of the bedbug story? It goes like this: DDT is extremely effective against bedbugs. Just smear a little around your bed and the bed is protected for decades. People did this and that's why we all grew up hearing but not understanding "don't let the bedbugs bite". But we were going nuts with DDT, spraying it into trees up and down every road, killing birds and causing other problems. Rather than a measured response like stopping widespread spraying, we banned DDT outright. Now we have bedbugs.

It just sounds like bedbugs are so horrible that some dabs of DDT might be appropriate. Is that way off base?

I like your story, but I find amusing that `git blame` has such an appropriate name.
It's not really a "blackout"... I guess it's actually kind of hard to describe.

Have you ever tried to read a sentence and listen to someone talk at the exact same time? You are only going to be able to "focus" on one or the other, or you'll fail and understand neither of them.

Without medication (and on bad days) my entire life is like there is a second part of my brain that is vying for my attention. Either focusing on something not important (hey i never noticed his hat, did he always have that? I think he did in the beginning... Oh shit I missed what's happening again), or in many cases focusing on the act of trying to focus that I forget what I'm actually supposed to be focusing on (and then the pity party in my head starts about how pointless it is to even try here right now, and that then is a 3rd distraction).

There's also times that I can hear and understand what is happening, but everything from about 3 seconds ago is just... gone... So I can read and fully comprehend a sentence, but I'm trying so hard to focus on that sentence that I don't commit the previous one to memory, and any references back to it get confusing because I don't remember what happened there.

Interestingly that last one happens most with the 6 digit 2-factor authentication codes. I break them up into 2 sets of 3, but when i've said the second set of 3 to myself to try and remember the whole string long enough to switch apps and enter it, I've forgotten the first 3...

Like most things, it's not as bad at some days and times, and worse on others.
Back in 2013, I was broke and job hunting in Vancouver, BC. I discovered a hostel that apparently hadn't updated its prices in 10+ years. There was a really good deal for weekly dormitory. So I committed to 2 weeks. Whoops!

I quickly discovered that bed bug bites are harder to ignore than mosquito bites. They're significantly itchier and can last a week or so.

I was spending most of my days in a cafe nearby with my laptop. I got to talking to one guy that was also a regular, he went through a few different used laptops and was setting up linux and playing with it. He turned out to be staying at homeless shelters. I momentarily felt envious, because he told me there no bed bugs at his shelter.

> It's fine if you disagree with that, but I will have a hard time continuing the discussion. In hindsight this assumption although already implies that properties must be "statistically independent". Thanks for pointing that out I think I've learned something.

I... think that statistical independence of human properties is a valid basic assumption.

However i think that it is worthwhile to question that assumption from time to time. Especially when, as mentioned in the article, more free societies like sweden or finland have more unequal outcomes than societies like iran (which iirc instituted a male quota for some STEM fields a few years ago).

This is a difficult topic...
Google was incorporated in September 1998. RFC 2640 was published in December 1998. Google's IPv6 tracker [1] has ~20% of their traffic coming in as IPv6. In the time that it's taken for Google to become one of the largest companies in the world, IPv6 is still uncommon.

DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 are different (they even run on different ports) and probably they have more experience with monitoring and operating DHCPv4.

Honestly I think the fundamental mistake of IPv6 was trying to fix everything else along the way. Certainly there are things that can be fixed in DHCPv4. But there isn't a way to put off that operational work until you're ready to get good at it; there is no way to just get more addresses and not also sign up to run a new version of DHCP, to decide if you even want DHCPv6 or you want RAs and SLAAC, to give up ARP, etc. It's a big lesson in the second system effect.
It reminds me of the master-slave morality that Nietzsche wrote about. Unable to compete by the current rules of the game (master morality), minorities/women have adopted a new set of rules by which they judge people (slave morality), and that is seen by the weird "Oppression Olympics" we see playing out right now by the "oppressed" groups on the left [1].
