Rules and regulations [1] inhibit a lot of Antarctica's potential. In a nutshell you're not allowed to do much of anything in Antarctica. And what you do do has to be effectively 0 environmental impact, and leave no footprint whatsoever. So you're not going to be 'tapping that.'

And while we can breathe the air and not get radiated to death by the sun (during the times its visible) on Antarctica, it's in other ways much less hospitable than places like Mars. Mars has a relatively normal day/night cycle which [presumably] means no T3 syndrome like many suffer in Antarctic winters. It also gets warmer on Mars than it does on Antarctica. If not for the atmosphere, many days would be quite pleasant. The low density atmosphere also means you don't need to worry about things like storms (one of the main things that was completely faked in 'The Martian') - the most brutal storm on Mars would feel like light breeze. And it has to be said, even if for just an entertainment factor - low g!

There's also the drive for discovery. You may make some interesting discoveries in Antarctica (if you were allowed to engage in operations that would allow such) but they're going to generally be 'terrestrial' in nature. While this may end up being true of Mars as well, for now no one entirely knows. We're still making revolutionary discoveries on the Moon's composition and we have actually landed on it! It's very hard to know what you don't know, but the one thing that blazing into new frontiers has shown time and again is that there's an immense amount we don't know that we don't know - and I don't see any reason to think that this is no longer the case.

In many ways I think Mars has the potential to be another Earth. Different in many ways of course, but also similar in breadth and possibility. Whereas Antarctica's potential is something rather different, but altogether inhibited by rules and regulations in any case.

That is PAT not NAT. Port numbers are a scarce resource and there are various ways to allocate them. This may be a 1:1 or 1:random or n:n static range or n:n random.

A stateful PAT would inspect packets to set up port translation and these things used to have lots of bugs and no filtering to check if the packet is from internal or external network at times.

You can often still send to the direct target port and IP if you guess or figure out the mapping. Scanning 64k numbers with packets is not that hard.
Some X don't. I didn't. Some X do.

Realise that you're talking about human beings, not machines. Human beings are raised from birth in human society and do not make decisions like "what kind of things do I want to be interested in?" in a perfectly logical and informed manner.

When you come across popular figures in any area, if they look like you the immediate reaction is "wow, so I could do that too?". If none of them look like you, then the reaction is not that. You might end up doing that thing anyway - no corellation is 100% - but the idea that children have role models that they can relate to is not some hard hitting hot take.

Anyway, you do think it's fine to put a device that -on a bit-flip- is able to record and analyze anything you say and inject ads to your daily routine anywhere and this bit-flip can be done anytime because it is connected and updated through the internet without any interaction. We should trust the makers because reasons. What can go wrong, right?

I'd consider 'flatten' a common, somewhat agreed upon term for that specific operation. Which is why I find this annoying, not a huge deal, but certainly annoying. The perfectionist in me though is most annoyed that calling flatten 'flat' feels like calling reduce 'reduction', it's just not consistent with the other methods.
> If hash capacity were traded on a perfectly competitive market, then it would always make sense to rent 51% of the capacity at market rates, earn the transaction fees, and also perform a double-spending attack. There is no equilibrium point for transaction fees where this attack becomes uneconomical. The only defense is that the market for hash capacity is imperfect.

You're killing your goose with the golden eggs. That is, if a currencies remains in use.
Oh, I don't know, just a boundless universe of knowledge, news, politics, and people to connect with. I'm not sure why contemplating boredom is more virtuous than reading or commenting on something on the phone.
Man, this whole series is so well written. I remember back in the day, when lophtcrack, Medusa, Cain and Abel, and JackTheRipper along with massive (for the time) rainbow tables were the tools of the trade (This was a little before internet exploits and Metasploit gained popularity). As a little script-kiddie, finding and running exploits on unsecured servers and machines, doing silly things like ARP poisoning in my high school lab network and bruteforcing zip files with passwords, oh such glorious times. I truly went from being a user of tech to a person with a hacker mindset, which has proved to be tremendously useful in my professional career.

I honestly feel that in the current day and age, if anyone tried the same stuff many of us got away with in the early 2000s (or 90s), then the punishment would be much much stricter. Not sure how that gets in the way of people learning by "banging things together till they work", which was a major source of learning for me.

Damn, I feel old now!
I would love that too.

HTTP has versions. IP has versions. A lot of APIs have versions.

Why? Because sometimes you want a new feature but the current API does not support it. So you break it and make a new one, keeping the old intact.

I can already tell my webbrowser which HTML version I use. That should and can be extended further.

Similarly it would be great if I could tell my webbrowser "Use compatibility level for 2010-2019" or "Use compatibility level 2000-2010".

>>> Failing unremarkably can happen and is something you should consider as a possibility. If I were to claim I had built career capital as a result of my 2.5 (mis)adventure, I would be deceiving myself. As it is I walk away with no cool story, no CV points. At least if I’d blown some money (mine

That's real failure.
> I suppose it'd be better to frame it as what you can run on a $1k workstation vs. a $10k rackmount server, or something along those lines.

That's probably better, since it'll scale a bit better with technological improvements. The problem is, it doesn't have quite the clever sound to it, especially with the numbers and dollars.

Now, the other main problem is that, though the cost of a workstation is fairly well-bounded, the cost of that medium-data server can actually vary quite widely, depending on what you need to do with that data (or, I suppose, how long you might want to retain data you don't happen to be doing anything to right at that moment).

I suppose that's part of my point, that there's a mis-perception that, because a single server (including its attached storage) can be so expensive, to the tune of many tens of thousands of (US) dollars, that somehow makes it "big" and undesireable, despite its potentially close-to-linear price-to-performance curve compared to those small 1U/2U servers. Never mind doing any reasoned analysis of whether going farther up the single-server capacity/performance axis, where the price curve gets steeper is worth it compared to the cost and complexity of a distributed solution.

> are there any resources you'd recommend for learning about what's available in the land of that higher-end rackmount equipment?

Sadly, no great tutorials or blogs that I know of. However, I'd recommend taking a look at SuperMicro's complete-server products, primarily because, for most of them, you can find credible barebones pricing with a web search. I expect you already know how to account for other components (primarily of concern for the mobos that take only exotic CPUs).

As I alluded in another comment, you might also look into SAS expanders (conveniently also well integrated into some, but far from all, SuperMicro chassis backplanes) and RAID/HBA cards for the direct-attached (but still external) storage.
That it's entirely possible to save enough in order to retire early.
They haven't been to China. There are gobs of development required still even in the big cities. For decades to come, if the government deregulates and allows more private enterprise. Entire city blocks need to be refurbished or razed.
I agree completely!

It is my experience also that things just happen without anybody being in control. Given the same circumstances, all individuals would act in exactly the same way. Of course, "the circumstances" include a lot of hard-to-describe factors, like the mental model of an individual, as it was created during their life so far.

Naturally, this point of view attracts a lot of criticism, most of all from people who think they would achieve better results in the same situation, e.g. not resorting to crime when faced with social exclusion and hardship. The assumption, in my experience, comes from lack of reflection, though. What enables one individual to perform "better" than the other? I would say, it's their mental model, created solely by their previous experiences.

The "you" that allegedly makes all those "right" decisions is merely an automaton that was programmed by past experiences. So you are performing better because you learned to perform better or, in other words, you were lucky to live in an environment that fostered those traits.

Indeed, there is no achievement and no guilt. They are both purely social constructs without any substance, and all they do is create a gap between those people who were lucky and those who were not.
Not all cryptocurrencies are secured by hashpower or "mining", have you considered those?

You have used technical analysis for making an investment decision. Scientific method, skeptical approach, great. And the assumption is "the tech is broken, the price will fall because of it, won't buy".

But, if we take on step further and continue our experiment, lets compare the actual facts with the assumption.

And what we see? Two cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin Gold and Verge) which were successfully attacked this week, didn't lose in market cap.

How comes? What conclusion should we take from this assumption/fact, if continue being scientific? Do we need a new assumption?
Reading news about New Zealand from the international media, you'd think that it's some quaint rural backwater country, where its biggest problems are picking a new flag and people throwing dildos at politicians.

The news doesn't like to report on the growing methamphetamine problem, the youth suicide rate, or the increasing poverty. And why would it? Nobody overseas cares about these things happening in NZ, they have these problems at home.
Yes, losing passport is exactly that. Logging out makes me unable to access normal abilities a twitter user(american citizen) has. If passport analogy doesn't suit you, try incarceration.
its not slavery yet, but its compressing and already uneven playing field so that the lower common denominator is suddenly the only avenue for workers to head to.

I worry more about this in the "gig economy" than the impact of AI/Robots on the work force.
The leases referenced by the post I was replying to:

“Why not use Stateless DHCP, and configure a machine with short leases”

How do you deal with one missed RA causing an inadvertent failover to using a different WAN, while maintaining 1-2s failover after the first WAN link goes down?

Also this does not fix the issue with inability to load balance without NAT. Eg I have a desktop (or tablet etc) that I want to send VoIP out one WAN and everything else out another.

That is mostly because as far as I know, other than ubuntu no distro supports tray icons. And even then it is basically a workaround. Gnome removed support in 3.20 and I don't know about other linux desktop environments.

But for windows, which i primarily use, it is better that what .Net gives me. And it apparently works flawlessly on mac.

It should come lower than that...rental price seems to be around 0.5 BTC/MSol/day, so the price for one hour would be 0.5 * 26 / 24 = 0.54 BTC, roughly $4k
I can agree with that, though in part it obviously depends on how high your income is, and how you invest and compound the money you have made.

If you're making $25k a year it will be a lot harder and take much much longer to retire than for someone making $150k a year.

> They either are mismanaged or are not willing to tell the users what data they are collecting and how they use and monetize this data. And it should worry all users, not only users from the EU.

I don't know a ton about GDPR, but the article makes it look like it has less to do with Instapaper (aside from risk tolerance) and more to do with the ambiguity of the law. Some relevant quotes:

> it’s more than likely to be the GDPR’s data subject access request, which allows any EU resident to request any and all data collected and stored about them. As The Verge reported yesterday, that’s causing companies trouble because it’s not entirely clear right now what information residents will request, what format that information needs to be in, how to locate it and package it, and whether new infrastructure needs to be created to manage this request pipeline. Personal info is a somewhat nebulous concept, and the fact that experts are describing the GDPR as “staggeringly complex” is not making it easy to cover all the bases.

> It’s clear that few companies, if any, will be 100 percent compliant when the law goes into effect. But because the fines are so steep — violating GDPR will cost a company 4 percent of its global turnover or $20 million, whichever is larger — no one really wants to be caught non-compliant. So that’s why companies are rushing and, in the case of Instapaper, literally shutting down.
Not all ISPs offer this functionality. I can’t realistically tell the customers I manage that we can’t support their preferred provider because of this, when they rightly point out that it just works on IPv4 without need for multi-homing.

And again, multi-homing does not address load balancing / policy based routing with active active links. Eg it’s possible to have 2 Ethernet connections, 1 VDSL connection and a LTE link. Can multi-homing IPv6 work in such a situation while providing fast failover and load balancing by service/application/policy?
Most of awk's 'advanced and hard to do' use cases in Perl go like

open (my $FILEHANDLE, '<', $file) or
die "Cannot open $file\n";
while(<FILEHANDLE>) {
chomp;
#Do you stuff here
}
close(FILEHANDLE);

Also perl can do various other things awk just can't. For example removing something from a file and then talking to a database or a web service, or do other stuff like parse a JSON or XML. Deal with multiple files, or other advanced use cases. Unicode work, advanced regexes etc etc.

In fact the whole point of Perl was Larry wall reaching the upper limits of what one could do with awk, sed and other utilities and having to use them all over the place in C. Then realizing there was a use case for a whole new language.
I wonder how many death threats Trump receives over Twitter and if that makes any significant portion of the total amounts of threats. (Plus now you entered the territory of "threaten a public official with death" which gets the high ranking legal authorities into gear)
Hahaha, so recognizable :) I'm always searching for stuff the kids like that I also like, it keeps me from yawning and from getting distracted. There are few things but we both like, consequently it often happens that we start out doing stuff together but someone gets very bored. Sure he also tries to make something whenever I make something out of wood but he is bored after 5 min and starts to do something else.

Getting on your phone while playing is worse than saying, I'm very bored what can we do that we both like? For me it can also be, just hop on the train and walk in a different city to have a sandwich. He also likes that. It takes some time but I learned that we both like simple things, like a walk in nature and searching for stones for example. I might take my camera to make some nice pictures. Lego is another nice thing. He makes simple things, I make steering systems or other fancy stuff with cogs.
You need to be more precise in your point #1, as you are in #2, where you specifically speak about populations on average, and not individuals.

Specifically, the actions you refer to are not perpetrated by antifascists as a whole. The groups calling themselves Antifa (a name shared by several specific antifascist activist groups in different countries) have several internal factions, and the violent protests that the news love to cover are specifically the actions of the minority black bloc factions of some Antifa groups, which are more or less autonomous "extreme activist" subgroups.

Normal Antifa paints over swastikas and run counter-protests against the KKK and similar groups. The black bloc activists tend more towards chaos and violence, out of a belief that violence is the only language fascists respond to, so they are fighting fire with fire, in their own words.

I don't dispute that some regular Antifa members turn a blind eye to black bloc actions, but certainly not all of them.

As a pacifist, I strongly support anti-fascism and ordinary Antifa, but I absolutely do not condone black bloc activities.
