I am not saying they don't but in German machine shops I have worked a lot of machines were of Japanese origin such as Okuma or Mori Seiki.
Yes, they have 6rd deployed - but in select markets they supposedly have native dualstack as well (this was the option I chose on their static IP portal when ordering mine). I have not been able to get either working correctly with my Sophos XG box which has rather infuriated me.
You can also do:

for(i=0; i<100; i++) { play(Math.floor(Math.random()*3)) }

Right in the JavaScript console.
Well yes strictly speaking it's not just math, but usually it does imply math.

What are some examples of cryptography without math of some kind?

The scare-quote type of usage for quotation marks is common in English but not universal across all languages. As many Hacker News commenters are not native English speakers, it makes sense to assume quotes are not always used for that meaning.
Two most common ways:

1. friends and family round.

2. Prior entrepreneur with a known or provable solid track record.

My guess for OP is #1 given the question, but maybe not.

Also, this actually used to be a fairly standard way to raise capital 20 years ago, you'd go to angels or other high net worth individuals with a basic business plan and pitch deck and raise on an idea and team. You might have mock ups (or non-functional prototypes) and/or a really basic product started but rare it would even be classified as an MVP in todays terms.

Just wait until you get to 10000 employees. You must delegate at that point. A manager might not fire someone by themselves, but since the involvement of HR is generally limited to executing the decision it might as well be.

Which is dual-stack with a grandual phaseout of v4. We already pay for the bloat of the v4 routing tables, but nobody can even think of phasing them out until stuff actually starts using v6. But nobody wants to deploy v6 because everyone has this mistaken belief that it’s easier to stretch v4 out with more hacks to preserve addresses.
A lot of Americans blame Facebook for Trump's election.

The same thing happened to Wikileaks. Everything that might remotely have helped Trump getting elected is now subject to witch hunt.

What a fascinating article and kudos to Huang for solving it. I’m excited to see what benefits this has in the future for computing. Not many articles do I read all the way through (I’ve the attention span of a fly these days) but this one I did.
What Metaphors Does a Modern Computer Employ?
Computers today utilize various metaphors. Terms like like "files," "folders," and "desktop" refer to known objects in the material world, and actions like "sleep" and "hibernate" relate to familiar human/animal behaviors. I surmise that these allowed for a smooth transition into computing and for an intuitive user interface. Now that computers are so prevalent, however, I wonder if new metaphors are called for, or whether some can be dropped altogether.

Here are a few questions:

(1) What metaphors are most heavily-leveraged in contemporary computing?

(2) Are there new metaphors coming into use today? Are there any new metaphors you'd like to see come into use today, and would they (or should they) supplant the previous ones?

(3) Are there technologies that can now extend beyond metaphors that were previously required, and perhaps require none? A potential example: using "tags" rather than "folders." Is there a physical correlate for "tags"? If digital files can have multiple tags, then it seems not; in the physical world, the same exact file simply couldn't be in multiple folders at once. Could tags supplant folders forever, or do we need the familiar backing of folders, like the dollar used to need gold?
SpaceX Just Flew Its Starship Prototype for the First Time
To someone who is not a neuroscientist, what does this do? Yes the regions are rewired, but aren't they rewired all the time anyway?
My thinking goes, the end of the road is always "everything is rubber" when it comes to precision, so I might as well start off with that reality and see where it can take me.

On the other hand: wear. Even the best machines all experience wear all around and there is a lot of work keeping up with it or recovering from it. Keeping precision despite drift from wear and being able to trivially quantify it are really valuable.
When I started reading this, particularly the first line quoted above, I was ready to call BS on it, and almost stopped reading. The idea that that the river being a bit warmer would make it ineffective at cooling the reactor was too silly. But then I got to the second quote and realized they just don't want the reactor to make the river any warmer than it already is.
Fair enough, it’s all about how much time and money you have. Rational was a poor choice of words.
Lot's. They are discriminated (like when looking for work or social benefits), intimidated and so on. Those who actively stand up against such intimidation are simply persecuted.

I've seen it go both ways. Being able to change teams or projects without a lot of drama seems to help a lot.

Good engineers are always hard to hire, bring up to speed, and retain. Especially ones who want to deal holistically with the existing team and system instead of narrowing in on certain approaches.
Nice! Thanks, I've edited my post to use this shorter version. The sleep is needed to avoid freezing the tab.
Eh.

When I'm following my own drives I tend to build something up from basics and improve it's ability to do X until it reaches a certain level of usefulness and I get bored and move on because my goal was building the thing not ever actually doing anything in particular with it. That section of the journey appeals to me.

Ultra-precise laser range finders scratch a particular itch. I so often have found myself wanting one and being unable to find something suitable to buy. Let's say, 1mm to 50µm precision at 1cm to 10m distances, in that ballpark.

What could I do with it?

* Characterize and quantify improvements in machine precision, most of what I do seems to be wild shots in the dark without some better measurement tools.

* Add feedback mechanisms to machines – work around imprecise parts and close the loop with cheap and super-precise measurement tools.

* Lasers.

The key features are programability and range+precision.
wow - I kinda thought I was the only one who experienced this. similar to other commenters in this sub-thread, i took propecia in my mid-20s for a few years and had the exact same negative response. libido went up in the first few weeks, but then dropped precipitously. had my first-ever 'no show' with a woman i'd just started dating, and that was that.

stopped and recovered within a few months. though libido has dropped lately, but hey i'm in my 40s now.

stay away from propecia! minoxidil, shave, or transplant.
> Also all the big streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu) have kids sections with quality children's programming.

All of them are absolutely swamped with hypercommercial psychologically manipulative selling-toys-to-kids programming, though it's from big corps so I guess that makes it okay.

> I don't understand why parents let loose their kids on YouTube when these alternatives exist.

Because YouTube, for all it's real problems, is both cheaper (free with ads) than the others and has a huge trove of excellent kid-appropriate content (including professionally produced stuff like the National Geographic Science 101 series) that isn't (AFAIK) on any of the other platforms and because most people aren't familiar with the horror stories, or if they are (accurately or not) interpret then as extreme edge cases, not likely events.

As long as they don't forbid companies from using OSS inside of (or to produce) a commercial product, I don't really see the problem? It'd actually give companies a competitive advantage.

Speaking of that, it's absurd how many private companies benefit from Linux! I bet only a tiny percentage of those companies contribute back into the open source projects they benefit from.

This is so true, and often overlooked by a lot of people. There's no new incentive for companies to reward older employees (you're at the company already). But to get new employees to sign their offer, they're prepared to stretch their resources. Additionally the market has likely advanced and salary bands are probably higher. By staying at a company over a long period of time, you lose out on being compensated at the periphery / edges of the market. And you probably lose out on your read of the market too.
Somebody named Banksy using a bank of bank notes for authentication?

The problem is that that the player's move is actually being fed to the training data before the computer makes its prediction. Take a look at the variable 'y' after making your move and you'll see that it includes the player's last move. Because 'y' is updated before the computer makes its prediction, this shows that the computer uses the player's current move as part of the training set to decide its move.

I'd put "product idea" last only because if you have reasonable funding and are solid on the first 3, you'll figure out the product. Also with #3 it is really the whole team, but given founder(s) are probably the only ones in initially I say Founders skillset.

Who thinks "I made $61 after tax profit on the last $100 of profits but I will only make $59 profit on the next $100 so I'm gonna chooAe to not make that $59 after tax money.

This is a genuine question. Is there any research or evidence that shows that increasing taxes on profits (which is what corporate taxes are) reduces pre tax profits in the US (I'm restricting to the US because it's possible other places have had more ridiculous njmbwrs, even leading to greater than 100% taxes). This isn't a rhetorical question.

The same applies to progressive income tax, but I know someone who actually did choose to forego additional income but it waS someone who didn't understand progressive taxes and thought the headline figure apuwd to their entire income instead of the marginal income.

I'm assuming reasonably sized companies aren't that stupid.
Dumping on Hofstadter this way feels almost sacrilegious. Sometimes the writer sounds like they get what GEB is about, then follow up with statements that show they clearly do not.

I hope the writer doesn't read Metamagical Themas (admittedly, a book I like more, but it reaches even further to the fringes). It'll clearly go over their head in spectacular fashion, and would certainly fuel more of this kind of half-informed op ed.

Even worse, the writer dishes on terms like Molecular Canon. That's not Hofstadter's invention, and it is very not as stupid as the writer makes it out to be. Those who study Origins of Life are quite familiar with the concept.

Read any of good biology text, and you'll become more than comfortable with the term and what it specifically means. Unsurprisingly you'll discover it is exactly "how ribosomes translate messenger RNA into proteins" as Hofstadter describes.

A molecular canon (ribosome) literally splits DNA into codons (kinda like half-DNA in 3-nucleotide sets), which get transcribed into mRNA, shoots it through a ring of protein (the canon), where it fuses the resulting tRNA with material available at the exit. Now attach the result to an amino acid, fold, and voila, protein synthesis, and most importantly for this analogy - a solid copy of the original material. Reproduction 101.

Taken in the Hofstadter sense comparing that to Bach, themes are ripped apart, work their way through the cannon, mix with other themes until they eventually replicate a copy of the original theme. How isn't that concept similar?

Even the idea that the canon ends an octave higher shows their ignorance, since a canon is played by multiple instruments, and those octaves do indeed resolve together. So the writer fails on both sides of their arguments.

I hate how this article is written in such a way it almost sounds like the writer knows what they are talking about, when they are snidely riffing it throughout. The writer repeatedly demonstrates they do not understand the subjects covered in GEB.
BLS numbers are higher than other poster says for Tool and Die makers, but less than you imply.

>i.e. the preoccupation of consultants is almost always "sell, sell, sell" rather than "help the client make money"

The hilarious part for me, as an independent consultant, is my partner and I often agonize over how to help the client make money in spite of themselves.

I'm not disagreeing with you---if we were employees for a big-c Consulting Firm we'd likely be under the gun to act as you describe whether we wanted to or not, and what we offer is definitely different from the most common experience people have of working with a consulting firm, but it's just funny for me to read.
At a guess, they have to do the loading, hauling, and dumping outside in all weather and also probably barge it out to the hauler in some cases. All of these things can add a significant amount of water to an otherwise "dry" solid.
NAT64/DNS64 allow a v6-only host to connect to v4-only hosts. If you are a T-Mobile US customer this is literally how you have all IPv4 connectivity. Here are AAAA records I get for amazon.com from my T-Mobile iPhone:

amazon.com. 2S IN AAAA 2607:7700::19:0:1:cdfb:f267
amazon.com. 2S IN AAAA 2607:7700::19:0:1:b020:67cd
amazon.com. 2S IN AAAA 2607:7700::19:0:1:b020:62a6

These are NAT64 addresses within TMoUS’ prefix, if I try to ping an IPv4 address it is rewritten automatically as well (though this is a feature of iOS).

If you get people to v6 they can continue to access v4 with numerous transition tools like this, even if dual-stack isn’t an option. You can’t go the other way though.
Microsoft includes Office 365. In a way Google has a more "legit" claim to include GSuite, since their offering is entirely cloud based, whereas with Microsoft only the parts of Office that nobody actually uses are cloud based.
There is a strong economic argument for keeping oil in the ground now, though. Namely, that the planet will cease to support a functioning global economy under runaway warming.
I think it's more complicated than that (for all three vendors) because customer contracting can involve all sorts of convoluted terms, especially mega-deals. Using ARR makes more logical sense because it provides a less messy way of accounting for things like guaranteed future consumption commits.

I can sympathize with you as I’ve been shaving my head since I was 23 because of thinning hair. Ive never felt self conscious about my hair, or lack there of, not have I ever explored medical treatments. However, ive always had an issue with the maintenance. Why should I be bald and still have to buzz my head every 4 days? Rotten deal.

Now, if the medical community came out with a way for me to keep my 0 buzz without constant maintenance, I’ll gladly sign up. And I’m not talking about laser removal to have a shiny head..I like my buzz but maintenance is a pain.

(This comment is light hearted and in jest.)

Regardless, being bald , in my opinion, doesn’t really mean much. Sure some folks talk nonsense or point it out but I feel pity for their thought process. We have so many responsibilities and worries in life that hair shouldn’t be in the top 10. Life’s too short to worry about such nonsense.
The first amendment does not protect the right of foreign nations to dispense propaganda. Indeed there are in fact provisions prohibiting foreign nations involving themselves in the election process in the US constitution.
Analogy is a little off.

AWS is fast food and expensive because consistency, availability, and volume are what count in the cloud business. You can get better quality VMs for less money but you won’t be able to provision thousands easily and it’s not going to be available 24/7.
You're actually comparing Soviet-era gulags to US prisons? Have you actually looked into them?
The problem with having to perform at the next job level to get a promotion is that you're still expected to perform at your current job level. So going from say staff where you're expected to spend 60% of your time coding and 40% on making a broader impact to principal where you're expected to spend 40% of your time coding and 60% of your time making a broader impact in essence means you're going to have to work 120%. That's great if you don't have a life outside work, otherwise, you're better off hiring into the level you want.
that is only a testament to its usability, like any good framework.

Digital ocean has ~300 employees (circa 2017 according to wikipedia). Google has far more than that working on Cloud. Google Cloud is also largely layered on top of their existing internal infrastructure. Google cloud also has more services, more regions, and more zones. My opinion is that there is just way more that can go wrong.

How do you have little in common with them? You've just spent many, many years performing their role. The key to success in this role, as is the case is most is to display empathy for those around you. Once you are able to do this, the correct choices with regards to the administrative particulars of the role will be easy to see.

With respect, it’s not millions being spent. It’s billions. Many billions of dollars. Why do you think they’re in bed so deeply with such vendors?

And banks adhering to any kind of laws goes only as far as the compliance office says they have to. And if the Chief Compliance Officer says that you only need to do security scans once a quarter because that is what their auditor says, then by God you damn well better not be running scans at any other frequency, unless explicitly directed to do so by the compliance office.

You wouldn’t want to actually be secure or anything, because then that would void the appearance of security.

Been there, done that, seen it from the inside. If you’re not scared shitless by the way banks are run, then you clearly don’t know enough about how that sausage is made.
This wouldn't surprise me at all.

My residential internet service has provided IPv6 for years. (I think it's 6rd, but I don't care — the company-provided router does the IPv6 router advertisement thing, and all the devices on my home network acquire IPv6 addresses. It's pretty transparent.)

And cell networks are now, as I understand it, mostly IPv6-native. IPv4 traffic goes through NAT.
Once you get down to below 1/1000 of an inch or so, you start to notice that metal is really like playdough. it squishes out in all directions when you clamp it, it springs back when you cut it. it is never exactly the same shape after it has been handled.

> The rest of CERN is completely different, as indicated by cernguy

Yes, that is also a thing at CERN.

Many other teams re-develop things internally (Linux based) because they could not trust or rely on IT management to do the right things.

That had a very perveted effect of internal duplication across teams and experiments.
The visit expires 30 minutes after the visitor lands. The expiration isn't generic.

It's an interesting idea. We have multiple servers under the load balancers, so we'd be able to store them in Redis, but that is no better than permanent storage, since Redis could still be breached and you'd see it with ease.
Which is the strange part. Because it is rather commoditized on the level that 95% of their customers are by themselves.

It's that aggregate of so many individual clients that makes it difficult. So why aren't all the small clients getting picked off by the hundreds of small competitors?

My take is that the sheer scale of AWS has hit a point where engineers (the ones making infrastructure decisions) and moving from one company to another are just more likely to be familiar with AWS at this point. The same concept makes hiring easier.

My other guess is that lots of engineers are like me and just got sick of their hosting company getting bought out and constantly having to deal with console changes and migrations.

I am with GCP now, one of the reasons I picked GCP is because they are very large and have reasons to continue offering cloud services even if it becomes commoditized and unprofitable. The same is true for AWS.

Also, of course "no one ever got fired for choosing AWS".
To be fair, these were not outages, rather degraded services where a feature or two was not working. None of my applications had any errors, nor were my users impacted.
