In the US, we still make it other people's business. It's just that here, those other people work for insurance companies whose goal is to turn a profit (even if they claim otherwise by getting themselves classified as non-profit organizations), in part by paying out as little as possible to healthcare providers. Yes, it's theoretically possible to pay out of pocket, so one has a "choice", but doing that for e.g. a C-section would bankrupt most of our population.

I've lived in a country with socialized medicine. It's not perfect, but at least they don't have a huge chunk of the population walking around with easily-treatable conditions that slowly destroy them because normal people don't get decent health coverage.

> And yet, even in this position, I think having IPv6 native inside of a production network isn't absolutely necessary

Not necessary, but it could be quite useful. The 64bit suffix of ULA addresses lets you group your containers into separate blocks with static prefixes. E.g. you could always have the :0000 - :FFFF block be your reverse proxies, the next block the storage shards and so on.
Same here, with a twist: the test suite does: global reformat (uncrustify or astyle, depending on the team), build, run the actual tests.
As people almost always run the test suite before checking code in, all the project stays properly formatted.

My experience is: each time a team started doing this, all coding-style related discussions vanished, and it became a non-issue.
It turns out it's a lot easier to accept a coding style you're not the one doing the actual formatting (this is why, BTW, I think stylechecking hooks alone are a bad idea).
As someone who wrote Windows Mobile apps back in the day in C# - that used the same frameworks as the desktop equivalents - and since then has been responsible for the back end architecture of mobile platforms, there are so many more considerations that you have to think about when writing mobile apps than just knowing the same language and frameworks as you would use on the desktop.

Some of those considerations are interface design on a much smaller screen, syncing, dealing with a semi connected state, much more resource constrained hardware (especially in 2008), a much more restrictive permission system, etc.
Umm, what is the alternative O/S that has complete hardware support?

And that's fine if Britain doesn't want to be part of a larger union. Large political entities naturally have more power, as they control more resources (natural resources, people, economy, etc.). So Britain can turn into a country similar in economic power to Argentina, while China becomes the new world superpower. I'm sure China is all in favor of Brexit.

Although I grant you that plenty of baby boomers (and even older folks) do in fact use emojis, you can't seriously be arguing that they do so more than younger generations?

I would love to see some actual research on this. I have a completely untested theory, purely based on direct observation of my own friends and family, that the people who use emojis the most are those with the lowest writing skills. If that turns out to be true then emojis are in fact exacerbating the problem, because it doesn't much matter if my mother uses emojis instead of learning to spell, but I'd be very concerned if my daughter did.

You didn't say much. What kind of product? What kind of experience do you and your founders have? What are your and their personalities like?

The problem with startup advice is that a lot of it just doesn't apply. People make assumptions and generalizations that apply to one business space or team dynamic, and then project it onto your space and team dynamic.

Because of this, it's very hard to anticipate problems.

In my experience, I was 50-50 with someone non-technical. My biggest mistake was not walking away soon enough. The warning sign was that my co-founder let his imagination run away whenever we tried to plan anything. We could have fixed all the other "mistakes" we made otherwise. The problem was that most of our planning turned into me trying to guide my co-founder back to reality. (Edit: It took me over a year to realize that my co-founder was constantly letting his imagination run away. In hindsight, if I realized this sooner, I would have set up the arrangement very differently.)

IMO, it's all about everyone's attitude and product / service choice. As long as you're in a space that you're capable of working in, and everyone has the right attitude, you can learn the rest. (My co-founder, after we separated, had a lot more success once he stopped letting his imagination run away.)

What I can say is this: Are the people you're working with reasonable people? Reasonable doesn't mean mature, as unreasonable people are good at appearing mature. Reasonable means that, if they have an idea, they don't keep pushing when you say no.

Because "they" outnumber you, another thing to look for is if one team member is a mediator. They might try to mediate in situations when they should take a side. (IE, trying to mediate when someone wants to make a green line with a blue marker.) That's what I mean by confusing maturity with being reasonable.
Successful companies are largely victims of their own success. They got to where they are by doing things a certain way, so it becomes very risky to change that approach, even when the ground is shifting under them. The internal structures that worked for one model don’t work in the new one, and yet they are calcified due to management structures and worker skill sets. History has shown time and again that these companies just can’t pivot the way they need to.

It isn't just the basics that need mastering, but all of it [1]

Adding knowledge to your own knowledge graph requires existing context, without context, there is no place for new knowledge to attach.

Without master, eventually the new knowledge is simply remembered and not fully understood. The knowledge front is a fixed distance from the last fully mastered concept.

It is ok to go slow, who cares how fast shaky knowledge is consumed. You want a building that will stand, not one that was built on time.

Education is as much to create willing and accepting members of a society, however unjust that happens to be, as to educate. What else is a pledge of allegiance?

If you condition/educate away the social acceptance of demonstrations or even riot then one of the checks and balances of a society is removed. When the reaction comes it's likely to be a more extreme one, or if enough checks and balances are removed, straight to civil war or coup.

Years ago I was in contact with a person with total color blindness (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achromatopsia) and together we developed a filter to simulate this. It never went online, but if I find that project on my backups, would you be interested in the parameters of the filter? I could just post it as an issue.

The idea at that time was to help web developers avoid color combinations that are really hard to read for people with achromatopsia. But we soon found out that the worst color combinations were basically a total eye sore for people with normal color vision, so the benefit was limited.

> The damage on the aging brain by air pollution likely imposes substantial health and economic costs, considering that cognitive functioning is critical for the elderly for both running daily errands and making high-stake decisions.

Also... Orwell's writing was a lot more closely linked to stuff Orwell observed. He was a journalist and colonial by trade.

Huxley put more abstract ideas about humans and science into his world. Human engineering, happiness pills and genetic predispositions (like Douglas Adams' cow that wants to be eaten). This makes it feel more like a parable, a world that exists to play with ideas, like discworld.

Orwell's grim world was just a lot closer to stuff that existed, and still exists.

In a recent vice documentary about Assad's Syria, a policeman confesses "I am Winston Smith" after taking a journalist on a tour of Orwellian lies. It's not a coincidence, Assad's regime is built on ideas from Nazism and Stalinism, the regimes 1984 was parodying.
Cute, but insufficient to understand unless you already understand the concepts and deep mathematics involved.

I don't get this comment. Does this article claim to explain all the "concepts and deep mathematics"? From what I can see, the answer is no:

"Hopefully, this review is helpful enough so that newbies would not get lost in specialized terms and jargons while starting"

This seems to be objecting that the site isn't something that it never claimed to be. Sometimes you need a guide for newbies that doesn't go into all the details. Not every single resource on a given topic needs to be a complete reference manual with every detail that exists on the field. There is room for a variety of resources, at various levels of detail, aimed at a variety of different audiences, no?

While I haven't read the patent itself, I'm hesitant to consider more rigid cables by just that property itself as worthy of a patent.

But I understand the problem, although why couldn't it work by making "cable modules", ie rigid structures with a bunch of cables attached to it and so that it more or less has to be placed and connectors pushed into place?

I can imagine the connectors needed work too - shape so that they are guided into place, while robust so it doesn't break by the forces, and stays in place despite vibrations when on the road.

I'm also a Comcast customer, but I'm nearly certain I didn't get an IPv6 deployment until at least 2013/2014; I remember looking at their rather hidden signup form for beta testing IPv6 in ~2012, and I remember it being a rather long wait after that before it finally happened.

(Some places definitely were seeing initial rollouts around that time, but it was a far cry from "all".)
To be fair, there are attempts at this being made too. But they come in a weird fashion, for example - seats get smaller but are higher quality. Air quality on airplanes and lighting has generally improved but flights are getting longer.

Inquiry does work well, but not without guidance, unless your sole outcome goal is the inquiry process itself. Even at the other end of the spectrum, the Ph.D. candidate or post-doc, things can get pretty miserable if they are poorly mentored.

So while I applaud you for helping develop natural curiosity (but does it stick? That's another question. Do those kids go on to ask more questions like you've started an engine in their minds, or two years later are they just like everybody else...), if you have curricular goals to meet such that their future classes depend on them knowing the content you are supposed to teach, guiding them is much more efficient.

Minor correction - it's Bryan Cantrill, not Brian (according to Wikipedia).

No, it’s not. It means you don’t pay capital gains when you’re merely exchanging one form of crypto for another. You have not realized any gains until you have converted your crypto into real assets. Converting from one form of crypto to another for the purposes of arbitrage only delays the taxes. It never eliminates them.

This is really no different than selling and buying stocks in an IRA account.
In the US you can be charged on those capital gains. Capital gains are assessed at time of sale, this includes both Crypto-Fiat as well as Crypto-Crypto.
