Right, but how does this differ from IPv4? Every time I restart my cable modem, I get a new IP from a /18 or so of IPv4 space.

IP blocking is far from ideal, in both versions of IP.. IPv6 makes this no better, or worse.

You’re quite right that it’s the server OS with the biggest market share, but I seriously don’t understand why. I get why folks like Ubuntu on their desktops — it’s nice & bleeding edge, with all the latest gee-whiz gadgets and tons of proprietary drivers — but why would they use it on a server? For a server one ought to prefer stability & maintainability, no? And for me, that means Debian.
Another problem not mentioned in the article is that it would be a fixed inclination launch system. Changing inclination costs a lot, especially in low orbits. For example, from a pure dV standpoint, a GEO satellite would be cheaper to launch from Baikonur by circumnavigating the Moon, than by changing the inclination during the flight as it's currently practiced due to different constraints (the tricky thermodynamics of compact upper stages being the big one).
This right here. I hope companies stop fearing contributing to React / React Native (and ANY open source project they rely enough on). I think companies that make plenty of revenue off of certain open source projects should invest resources into said projects. If you patched some part of the project, contribute it back! It will only benefit you in the long run instead of running frankenforks of the code, and ultimately if it gets abandoned, offer to continue to maintain it!

I wish more companies would give developers about 10% of their time to develop things they think would benefit the company, whether it's internal tools or open source projects they rely on (or building new things). Just give devs every Friday or every other Friday with free reign to code or learn new things.

Ah well... If the projects they rely on stop being maintained they just suck it up and let it foster eternally till forced to migrate.

Dear Discord:

Your bread and butter seems to rely upon React / React Native. It's an open source project, pay your employees to contribute to it!

Come on. First of all, parking in NYC and Boston is a complete nightmare. Spots are expensive and hard to find, rules and enforcement are arbitrary.

Secondly, to suggest that Jackson WY has an overabundance of parking (28 spots per resident) is offensive. In the summer, over 1 million tourists visit Jackson to see Yellowstone.

It would be like saying that Disneyworld has an overabundance of parking at 2AM on a Tuesday.
Applications like slack/flock/microsoft teams work because they integrate all of the apps/third party websites that you would use. So instead of checking multiple websites in a day for updates ( crashes on crashlytics, new reviews on play/app store, new pull requests on github , new task in JIRA etc), you can get realtime updates for them in one tool.

A lot of conversations which happen in a workplace revolve around these tools, and have updates in one place not only save time but also encourage conversations around these updates.

Disclaimer: I work for Flock, an alternative to Slack. We are currently rated as #1 slack alternative on Product Hunt and PC Mag.We have a import tool so that you can import all of your data from HipChat on to Flock.
>Well, what's stopping men from deadlifting 800lbs?

In a lot of cases, time and value. My brother has a squat of 500 and some change, and a 405 DL, but it's not worth it to him to improve those much further. He's foremost a football player and second a wrestler, and lifting is a means to those ends. He could likely hit an 800 DL if he focused on it, and heck, I might even be able to bump my shoddy 315x5 to 800 if I really worked at it, but that's flat out not an option for any woman.

The main reason I get so annoyed by this argument that "women can do basically anything a man does, if they weren't held back by socialization etc" is because I used to be a huge proponent of it, myself. Engaging in almost any type of sport or competitive activity quickly dispels you of that notion. While a female comp black belt could delete me from the face of the earth, I'd be very surprised if there's a female black belt alive who could beat even the best black belt in Columbus Ohio, and it's not like Cbus is a jiu jitsu mecca. We split sports by sex for a lot of reasons.
It's worth to note that it's a standard, not the standard - even that page includes multiple variations, and there are other transliteration standards officially used in various places (e.g. the Russian international passports transliterate names a bit differently than ISO 9), so you can't really do "Cyrillic<->Latin can be done with clarity and consistency", you get different inconsistent transliterations of the same name and also it's not 100% reversible, especially if you don't know how it was transliterated.

For example, the (quite common) name Юрий has been transliterated as Yuriy, Yurij, Yurii, Yuri, Juriy, Jurij or even other options.

Also, you can't transliterate from Cyrillic, you can transliterate from a particular language, since any phonetic transliterations will be slightly different between, for example, Russian and Ukrainian - even ISO 9 accounts for that, so a sequence of letters without context can't be sufficient for transliteration, the exact same sequence of cyrillic letters may have to be transliterated differently depending on its language.

Right, but we don't actually view people as block boxes, and neither does 'society', as far as I can see. We care about whether or not someone freely chose to do what they did.
I have a couple:

- 2008, the 'bad times ahead' memo from a VC to their portfolio companies just on the edge of the big crash - was all over YC at the time and you could feel the fear in the comments.

- digg and the HD-DVD decryption key. The DRM key for HD DVD was banned in comments, and users kept posting it and mods kept taking it down until Kevin Rose himself commented it.

- Caldera Linux releasing the first graphic Linux installer, called 'Lizard', short for Linux Wizard. Red Hat releasing their graphical installer called 'Anaconda' because 'Anacondas eat lizards'.

- The bittorrent load test. Bram Cohen needed some stats for how effective BitTorrent would be, but he needed some good licensed content. So he cut a deal with Light Speed and posted on Slashdot tellign everyone they'd get free, high resolution (at the time) lesbian porn if they'd download this new software, Bittorrent

Sounds like they want a return of the absurd medallions status quo. If anything non for general hire (as opposed to chauffeurs and such) vehicles having a limited count in an area at a time would make far more sense in a dense city like New York. The one good thing Uber did was destroying that stupid racket and proving that the world would not in fact end - despite the preexisting oligarchs' insistence.

There actually is at least one interesting and potentially important difference between a supermassive black hole and a stellar mass one. Counterintuitively, even though the total gravitational effect of a huge black hole is larger, the strength of the tidal forces goes down as mass goes up. Tidal forces are the cause of "spaghettification" (yes, that's the real term!), which is the expected cause of death for anyone getting too close: if you fall feet-first toward a black hole, your feet will feel much greater gravitational acceleration than your head and you'll be stretched into spaghetti. My memory is that for a normal stellar-mass black hole this would happen even outside the event horizon (the radius of no return), while for a very large black hole you might be able to safely get close to the event horizon. So any experiments or applications that involved being close to the horizon could be much easier there.

Twitter’s user woes are similar to those of Facebook Inc., which also has been plagued by manipulation, robot accounts and unrest about the growing influence of social media in the culture. Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey has said his priority is to reduce abusive conversations on the platform and the company said its machine-learning algorithms are identifying more than 9 million potential spam or automated accounts a week.

I honestly don't understand what these shareholders want.

Same with Facebook.

Are they selling because "user" numbers are down a sliver? (Both Facebook and Twitter coincidentally seem to have experienced a 1 million active user reduction per month in the last month). It feels as though respective drops of 20% and 17% are absolutely disproportionate to that tiny number of users leaving.

So, then, is this the impact of Cambridge Analytica et al? Does money care whether CA helped pave the way for Trump and Brexit? I don't think so. Doesn't seem likely at all.

In fact, I could see "money" / "capital", whatever you want to call it, cheering them on. The rich have nothing to lose from this short term.

So, what is it actually? Is it in fact "the rich" withdrawing their money as part of some sort of punishment for these platforms, as they clean up their act?

It's not like Twitter or Facebook haven't tried absolutely EVERYTHING to avoid doing this. They harbored bots, spam and fake accounts until the very bitter end, when the PR scales just about tipped in favour of cleaning up their acts, because some governments (mostly the EU) started rattling their sabers.

I wish, oh do I wish for this to simply be "they treat their customers like the data-cows that they are, ripe for milking by every shady organisation, government and security agency imaginable, they are confessing to their sins and suffering the consequences rightfully, which will turn society back onto a path of common goals and shared prosperity".

But that's not it. Is it...

Huge fan of what Google is doing with SRE, we're mandating that everybody that works on production systems reads this book. So many insights that point you in the right direction on how online services/products are properly deployed. Even if you can't implement everything now, go read the book.

We're a small team and we started implementing SLOs for services, we're slowly building our SRE teams, with the purpose of "SRE embeds" in existing engineering teams.

A must read for anybody that wants to do systems engineering / devops / whatever sys admins are called these days. A must read for any technical lead.
> The assumption that's made seems to be that different problem domains are all independent, but that's not completely true. That's probably the main reason that mathematics and language are so useful.

To be fair, the effectiveness of multi-disciplinary research seems to only have been acknowledged in recent decades, even though by and large the biggest breakthroughs have almost always been thanks to people looking outside of the silos of their field. The sciences are really "tribal", and it used to be much worse.

For example, when I started studying in the early 2000s I remember the ML bachelor (then: AI) having recently split off from CompSci and being super-territorial.

I also heard stories of CompSci having split off from mathematics a few decades before that, and during my Interaction Design (IxD) master I learned that it separated from HCI in the nineties (short version: HCI was idolising the methods of the quantitative sciences too much for its own design-oriented good, IxD decided to bring in methods and insights from the qualitative fields).

I wonder if this was better or worse in Doyle's time.
This is how I view it:

* Being open source protects against a malicious developer. Otherwise there is nothing preventing him to build the binary with a different source, and send the passwords to his own server.

* Signed code archive prevents against a compromised hosting site.
I'm using it in a startup after some great reviews here on HN. the ability to have threaded ("topics") is absolutely superior to Slack.

We used slack in other start-ups before and it was always a leading to 'notification fatigue', as soon as the team grew to more than a few people, and even worse when non tech users were asked to all collaborate.
Because we use third party services for everything and none of them have APIs.

100% agree, even for those who are not addicts, we're not always perfectly aware of/or in control of our actions, and social media platforms are designed to take advantage of this. When I deleted facebook on my phone I'd often find myself in a quiet moment idly scrolling through my apps looking to open it again.

Or even between phones with app stores / web browsers / sideloading, and those without.

A phone that comes with its own apps (like old flip-phones) but doesn’t offer any other extensibility, usually only has apps written by the manufacturer to support standard protocols like email and SMS, and no support for any company’s walled-garden social superstimulus factory. Even WAP was okay, since WAP only worked to deliver information, not interactive “experiences.”

(Admittedly, one of those apps could have been an IRC client, which would have been quite immersing. Luckily we never saw such from the manufacturers—they left that sort of thing to the J2ME sideloading ecosystem.)

Ask HN: How to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio like a pro?
I did pretty good with crypto over the last few years (not a millionaire yet but almost there) - it was a hobby, but now I'd like to formalise it a bit.

Keep hearing about crypto funds and such founded in exotic locations - does something like that make sense for managing a personal portfolio? (if so where?)

A big part of this is optimising the taxation too - I live in a EU country that doesn't have any crypto legislation in place yet so the tax authority doesn't really know how to treat crypto but is at the moment still stuffing everything into personal income bracket and taxing it at levels of up to 50%. I can't imagine regular funds pay that much in tax every year. Ideally I'd manage my portfolio as I do now and sell a small part every year to pay myself a management fee to live off (be it in form of dividends or a salary). I would then tax that fee/salary/dividends in the country I reside in. But the rest wouldn't get taxed unless its profit and/or I go into fiat (which I never did so far).

Does anyone have any experience with this? To at least point me in the right direction? The problem is I'm just a regular guy and nobody in my social circles knows anything about things like this. And before you say you need to consult a tax specialist - I already did talk to a few local ones but this is beyond them (even crypto alone is making them worry, let alone anything more). So I'm guessing I need someone experienced with international taxation and such - am however worried that going to like the big 5 consulting firms would cost an arm and a leg and (without specific recommendations) smaller ones might be scams.

Any past experiences/tips are much appreciated!
Might be hard to do (or to trust someone else to do it) but quality delegation helps.
Today's businesses rely, directly or indirectly, on consumer spending power. If its decline hasn't been correctly worked into the present-value-of-future-dividends (aka price) and the market corrects, the magnitude would have no difficulty rivaling or exceeding previous recessions.

I'm in a similar position, since I only download libre apps unless it's for work or something, I realised after I got rid of my proprietary apps (Instagram being the main one) I didn't get as distracted and became miles more productive. While I have stuff like Telegram and Mastodon I either end up paying attention to a few notifications and moving on or just seeing so much content that I'm too lazy to go through and I feel like that's because neither feature algorithmic timelines, discover pages etc.

6 Event Technologies to Disrupt the Future of Event Planning – NVOLV
Joe Armstrong (Erlang): the mess we're in
Ironically google landed its initial success with (and maybe partly because of) an ultra minimalist website focused to the task. They seem to have forgotten that and now they have bloat everywhere. Instead of reducing it they put a lot of resources into developing technologies to deliver that bloat more efficiently.
I got to meet him at an art opening back in the 90's. The accounts of him as a genuine nice guy, I feel, are accurate.

As far as appearance goes he was definitely more urbane than his sweater-wearing persona on the TV show would suggest. Of course he was a sophisticated creative person in an environment with adults. Meanwhile, we were all silently channeling our innermost 5-year-old selves (he probably knew that and was used to it)!
If you're talking about entrepreneur under the "startup" model, it seems like balancing work and non-work is a contradictory idea, at least if you want to be successful.

There are and always will be many people who are throwing themselves at a problem, taking big risks and completely ignoring the negative consequences a failure could have on their life.

If you don't do the same, your chance of succeeding will be a lot slimmer.

As someone who's built a successful company working 70-100 hours weeks for several years, I know that those hours were one of the biggest factors in being able to bootstrap and survive with the little means we had.

I'm not saying it can't be done, but I don't recall personally talking to someone who's built a stable tech business and didn't have to go through some insane grind.
