Could it also be a way to keep competition out? Established ISPs might have enough IP4 addresses to last them for a while. Meanwhile, as long as most of the internet hasn't switched over, new ISPs can't enter the market because they can't get hold of IP4 addresses anymore?

Jepsen 9: A Fsyncing Feeling • Kyle Kingsbury
The photo at the top of the article is bizarre, especially with the caption of the property having a dance floor and a DJ while in the photo there is also a pram.
As DavidW points out Out of the box Tcl (like most scripting languages) was never designed for numeric processing. If you want to do numerics and number crunching in Tcl use one of the extensions such as Vectcl or the Mathemtcl. Tcl's C APi makes writing extensions (or wrapping existing libs) pretty straight forward too.

Kenji Kawakami
Because of how unjustly he was treated. Held for 5 years without trail, most of that in solitary confinement, because the government thought if he got to a phone he could launch nuclear weapons (seriously). Mitnick was in it for the knowledge, and exploration, not financial gain, not destruction, or anything like the script kiddies of today.
I find it strange that this design forces you to use a single exception type, std::error, for everything you want to throw with the new mechanism. Even assuming it makes sense to use a single exception type throughout a given codebase, as opposed to using more specific per-function error types (which admittedly has drawbacks, as mentioned in the paper), I should still be able to define my own single type rather than using the STL's implementation.

Also, the idiom `throws(throws(foo))` feels like janky syntax. To explain, for anyone who hasn't bothered to read the proposal: you can use use `throws` in two different places with different meanings. Tacked onto a function declaration, `throws(COND)` means the function can throw depending on the value of COND, which should evaluate to a value of type `enum except_t`: one of no_except, static_except, or dynamic_except. But as an expression, `throws(EXPR)` does the reverse: it evaluates to an `enum except_t` representing whether/how evaluating `EXPR` can throw. So:

template<typename Func>
void foo(Func func) throws(throws(func()))

means that calling `foo(func)` can throw iff `func()` can throw. It makes sense, at some level… I just think it looks janky.
People in arranged marriages in India report higher overall satisfaction than people in western marriages. You can learn to love someone, people do it all the time.

Romantic love (i.e. infatuation, to use less loaded language) isn't all its cracked up to be either. It's just a state your body produces to encourage reproductive behavior. It produces great highs now, at the cost of great lows later, and thus it's terribly addictive. It's no more noble than heroin.
Sounds a the Black Mirror episode. Actually the one about the social ranking system
This will make a difference how we write regexes. Look at the level 1 properties:

[\p{letter} \p{decimal number}]

And compare for instance to the POSIX regexp character classes (a reference: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Regular_Expressions/POSIX_Basi...)

[[:alpha:] [:digit:]]

Given that the Unicode standard goes much beyond, proper implementations should help to write regexps for the modern web, encountering problems we are typically faced with. It's a pity the standard goes not into detail there, thought (for instance, similiarity of characters).
"Have sex" is pretty clearly a proxy for "form some kind of intimate relationship with a woman" here. If it were just about the sex, a local prostitute would be more cost-effective than relocation to Thailand.

I'm not sure what here makes you think I don't know math, and that's not something I'm often accused of. The point at which sex tourism is a serious problem that deserves attention comes well before the point where any foreign man there can reasonably be accused of it. You could have raised the issue in a way that made it clear you meant no suggestion of that against anyone here. Most people still take "you might not have deserved [to be suspected of being a pedo]" as an accusation--"might" implies "might not".

If he'd said "New York City" instead of "Thailand", then would his comment have been fine? Must good honorable foreign men write off a country entirely once enough other foreign men do something bad? What's the tipping point? Is there some prostitution rate and GDP per capita at which Bangkok will be okay again? Do the thresholds vary with the man's race and income? Race only?

> It sounds to me like you are just disproportionately sensitive about this because you feel like in this case you are the one being profiled.

This was my first post in response to this story. So I'm not sure why I'd feel like I was being profiled, unless this is some kind of implication that I am (oops, "might be") a sex tourist too. I don't and have never lived in SE Asia, or had sex with anyone there.

I get that you think I'm wrong. You've expressed this clearly, but you've made no attempt to explain why. I'd venture that if you stepped back and looked at this in perspective, you'd find a more difficult moral landscape than you currently perceive.

ETA: Seriously, you're dancing around the idea that a poster here is a child sex tourist--an active pedophile, a man who rapes children, a criminal rightly considered among the worst imaginable. If there's no reason to suspect that he's a child sex tourist, then why was your (accurate) statement that that's disproportionately common in Thailand relevant? Given the opportunity, the closest you got to retracting the implication was to say he "might not have deserved" it. And you think I'm wrong to compare this to a false accusation of shoplifting?

A foreign man living in Bangkok really is more likely to be a sex tourist than average, just as a black shopper is more likely to be a shoplifter. (Yes, disparate enforcement against black vs. white shoplifters skews the raw statistics against black people. No, this doesn't explain the full difference. Controlling for income and other factors removes a lot of the difference; but store security doesn't have that information, so that's not relevant.) I think that's the "Bayesian statistics" you're talking about. The point is that these real, nonzero correlations do not justify making the lives of entire classes of people worse. I think you owe the poster an apology, not dismissive instructions to "chill".
I guess the 'spoiler' is that I'm fortunate enough to certainly not be a frugal spender. Yet another data point they have about me that they sell, but is completely incorrect.
The crypto alternative
Actually, if you've been to central London recently, you'll know there is a huge amount of demolition and rebuilding going on: for example dead center on the west side of Tottenham Court Road. Office buildings in the centre, from the 20s onward, regularly get demolished and rebuilt to modern specs. There are brand new "luxury condos" around Tate Modern and the amount of building going on near Canary Wharf is incredible.

It's true that there are some preserved buildings that are unlikely to be redeveloped. But in the City proper (the square mile) there is a lot of redevelopment. Nobody lives there, though.

The reason for the basements is not that the houses are architecturally noteworthy, just that they are in conservation areas. It has to do with the look of the neighbourhood and all the property value that goes along with that. It's not an effective way of densifying the housing stock.
Well, in our case it's a bit more complicated, because here, the USSR was actually helping the common man. We were living in a right-wing dictatorship ourselves and the communist party, which was one of the most important groups fighting against it (and whose members were tortured and sent to concentration camps in Africa), got a lot of help from the USSR.

I was born after the transition, so it's easy for me to separate the issues (and to understand that good deeds are not always done for good reasons), but to the people who lived it, there is a real dissonance that is hard to deal with.
I wonder if this particular 'virtue' has ever led to anything good. There is a parallel in the difference between, say, love (for one's land) and faith on the one hand and patriotism and (organized) religion on the other - the latter ones have invariably been used directly to promote hatred and intolerance in support of some political goals or in justifying criminal acts.
Yes, and they set an interesting counter-example:
Kevin Poulsen, Mark Abene, Elias Ladopoulos, and others took things in a sinister direction. Mitnick wasn't like that, and I think that really set him apart, but because he was the best the government had to make an example out of him.
Ah, never mind my initial response then. You're just more a systems engineer than a pure software engineer. That's a completely different animal than just being in it for the money.

OK, it's the petrol station part of the supermarket, but

"Tesco is set to install hi-tech screens that scan customers' faces in petrol stations so that advertisements can be tailored to suit them, it has been reported.

The retailer will introduce the OptimEyes screen, developed by Lord Sugar's Amscreen, to all 450 of its UK petrol stations, in a five-year deal, according to The Grocer.

The screen, positioned at the till, scans the eyes of customers to determine age and gender, and then runs tailored advertisements."

Is there a reason ISPs would be reluctant to discuss their motivations for IPv6 deployment? That is, why can't you just ask them?
Jurisprudence in this area disagrees with you:

"online media services provider may collect and use personal data relating to a user of those services, without his consent, only in so far as that [..] that data are necessary to facilitate and charge for the specific use of those services by that user"

http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&doc...

This is related to the DPA; but the GDPR doesn't change anything here, only strengthens it (i.e. making IP addresses explicitly personal data).

So if you're arguing collecting IP addresses is absolutely necessary for you to facilitate the service, no, you don't need consent. But I would not want to have to defend that, since disabling collection is as simple as a webserver reconfig.

I have not read any legal opinion that agrees with yours. I have also been to ICO events where they have stated they expect to treat it as personal data. That's reflected in their site (I gave you a specific example).

I understand that's not the outcome you're looking for.
I read them stating the money comes from the interest on the money of yours they hold.
Obviously this more stable, slow-and-steady approach to the package ecosystem has its pros and cons, but the best fruit of it was SQLite, possibly the best library ever made. D. Richard Hipp describes it as "a Tcl extension that escaped into the wild." [1]

It isn't? I certainly doubt whether it's true (not being in enterprise sales myself and not being important enough to end up on the other side of those sales) enough to make a cliche (I don't doubt somewhere somebody invited a client to golf to make a sale - but how common is it?) and haven't seen any reliable sources on the prevalence of it.
I don't see a literal box in your side project, so I'm not sure it does?

I've never strayed from the ideas this site is talking about (though not practicing). All my sites are static HTML/CSS written by hand designed to display content rather than look pretty. I make them for fun or to scratch an itch.

The only line of JS I use on my personal site is optional to trigger a page reload to display a submitted comment with the rest. The comment system itself requires no JS to use. It's just a particular string, '/@say/your comment here' appended to any URL on the site. A perl script tails the nginx log and generates/modifies the static html files.

I feel like most of this kind of design has gone away because the people that make websites make them for commerce now and that requires a lot of bullshit. Bullshit which they bring home if only because of inertia.
If you want to work with these in Python, use the "regex" package. [1] Not to be confused with the "re" module in the standard library.

Regardless, this is art.
Generate stand-alone, opaque identifiers for whatever sessions you want to analyse. Make sure these tags are ephemeral and decoupled from anything else.

Then, store only the flow data, discard everything else. Or if you need to keep some data around for the test duration, delete all of it once your A/B test has concluded.
In defense of the interviewer, if somebody told me they wrote an OS for the Raspberry Pi I would assume they wrote it mostly in C, not mostly in Bash.
I don't think prostitution is a good idea, it's degrading for both parties. A real girlfriend or wife on the other hand could be worthwhile.

It might or might not deal with their insecurity - people are complex, everyone is liable to be slightly different. It will almost certainly make them feel less lonely and isolated though, and that's worth something.

GDPR has exemptions for security. Your free to track information for the purposes of blocking vulnerability bots, but only the minimum data required for that purpose... and your visitor's data cannot be used for other applications without their consent.

> Shouldn't it be Walmart's right to do what they want on their property, and my right to decide not to visit Walmart if I don't agree with that. Isn't the converse an infringement of Walmart's rights?

No. Property "rights" are secondary to human rights. Like, Walmart can't knowingly sell poison as food just because it's their property...

In your example, Walmart is free to record you on security cameras for security / theft purposes. However, they can't record what you're looking at and reuse that information for targeted advertising without consent - profling is simply not required to do business, so your right not to be profiled wins.
Yet the article is titled "Google's Plan to Make Tech Less Addictive" and it was the Google CEO who announced this new effort.
>A secure hash of the fields you were talking about would make it possible to lookup when given the correct information, but impossible to reverse.

Think about the inputs of the mechanism you just described though. Presumably the goal of the "secure hash" is to prevent government workers from grabbing samples of specific people to do whatever with, so let's break it down. To calculate this hash you apparently need:

1. The name. If you're going after a specific persons sample, you already know this.

2. The date of birth. I don't know when this program started, but if you're alive today you definitely aren't more than 43,830 days old (365.25 * 120).

3. The hospital. I have no idea how many hospitals exist or have existed in California, but lets say there's been 100,000.

So the total number of possible hashes given only the name is 4,383,000,000. Sure, you could salt it as well, but the people we're trying to defend from have access to the DB and thus the salt, so we gain nothing from that. Here's some hashcat benchmarks: https://gist.github.com/epixoip/a83d38f412b4737e99bbef804a27...

Looks like 1000MH/s is a reasonable rate to be able to process sha-512 hashes, so according to that benchmark you should be able to generate the complete rainbow table in about...4 seconds.

It's probably longer given drive speeds and such, I've never actually tried to do what I'm describing, but it does seem like a less-than-one-work-shift process to calculate the hash of a specific person on commodity hardware if that's the only three inputs required. If that's the case, hashing it hasn't made it anonymous.
For the record, I'm also on the business plan (cable) with them but seem to have absolutely no troubles with IPv4 and IPv6 and I'm IPv6 native from what I can see here.

Standardized Tests
As someone else said you missed the point.

I will tack on my own opinion that building sites that only function with javascript is a massive disservice to everyone. From disabled people with accessibility needs, to old hardware/software, and even to security/privacy conscious people the JS paradigm is a massive problem. The trend for "new shiny" has become ridiculous and I find most modern websites to be pretty but rather useless. I have to scroll forever past slices with massive images and marketing lingo just to find something that seems potentially helpful but just goes on to more marketing bullshit.

Want to get my buy-in for your tools? Stop making them a hard requirement and make sure you have a non-JS fallback that works.
I agree. Most of software engineering has turned into resume driven development, and engineers can only keep up at it for some time.

Kubernetes did not have to be so complicated. Docker swarm just proved it. If it takes 10 engineers to really program and manage your kubernetes instances, what problem did it solve again?

> If e-mail deliverability providers (MailChimp etc.) are involved, they usually try to either educate or fire customers who misbehave, since they don't want to get their servers blacklisted entirely.

Since "My experience with Mailchimp was decidedly not like that" seems to be attracting downvotes, I'll expand on that. Mailchimp is opt out. So when I found myself on the receiving end of some local dog botique's spam (I don't have any pets, dogs or otherwise) list that was being serviced by Mailchimp I got to go through the tedious process of opting out.

Getting off of the spam list required tracking down contact info on LinkedIn and spamming the spammers. As long as companies like Mailchimp provide opt-out instead of opt-in services, it is Mailchimp and their brethren that are the bad actors. Mailchimp and Marketo have earned a spot on my smtpd_sender_restrictions blacklist.

I think that what he is referring to is the lack of big leadership in one (or many) tech sector .

From the examples he mentions, I know automatically (without searching for it) for example that Scala originated at EPFL, that ETHZ (& EPFL to a lesser extent) produce some of the most advanced things related to drones, that OCaml originated in France and is pushed by INRIA, etc... But there is nothing coming immediately to mind about TUM
Ellison is probably (most likely) not the type that likes to not meddle in things, so Apple might not have been worth anything similar to what it is now.

Excite had the chance to buy Google way back, IIRC, for $800K by Larry and Sergey. Probably the tech would have died down there, but the founders hired the right people, chased money instead of ethics and Google is worth 3/4 of a TRILLION.
Another approach is to start with the obvious 3 nested loops. Then replace with a single loop of n3 iterations. Take the bits of this single loop variable and deinterleave them to obtain the 3 indicies of the nested loop variant. In other words treat the loop counter as if it's bits are a3b3c3a2b2c2a1b1c1a0b0c0 and so on. This is simpler with 2 interleaved values but still not bad. It produces a sort of 3 dimensional z-order traversal. The overhead can be minimized by looping with a stride of some power of 2 and unrolling the inner portion to do that many multiply-accumulates.

If you do this while also storing the matrix in z-order in memory the offsets in the unrolled part become constants independent of the matrix size.

This technique is applicable to anything using nested loops where the indicies take you to a lot of memory repeatedly.

I'm still waiting for a couple with bit interleave and deinterleave instructions, but those wouldn't be usable without intrinsics.
Analytics is a broad term, and covers things like "how many of my users use this new section of my website" or "Let's A/B test a new navigation menu".
I mean, there are plenty of sites like this on Neocities [0] - which has a goal to be the New Geocities. :) If you seek it out, you can find the fun web again.

Same story here with Orange in Spain. Fake dual stack through barely-working CG-NAT limited to ports <2000 which many services/devices do not accept and which the router randomly forgot, and no PPTP VPN because the CG-NAT did not support the GRE protocol. Plus the joys of sharing an IP with random strangers, of course. After many clients started complaining they offered us static IPv4 plans (with no IPv6) for free (normally it costs 12€/month), instead of coming up with a better dual stack implementation.
