I also prefer just reading off the short version; either in sets of (up to) 4 or 2, depending on the application.

For a mac address I'd not summarize and just read it off in 6 pairs.

For the example representation address on the wikipedia page... 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address )

Two Zero Zero One Colon Delta Bravo Eight Colon Eight Five Alpha Three Colon (pause) Colon Eight Alpha Two Echo Colon Three Seven Zero Colon Seven Three Three Four.

The part in the middle might need a better way of announcing, but given the double digits in other parts of the address it seems more natural to read it as a string of characters than to alter it.
Many Americans were raised with a sort of nationalism people simply called patriotism.
it's HN's hug ( of death ).
If you think that the way the president primarily is affecting minority groups is via First Step Act and Opportunity Zones, then you are either confused or willfully ignorant. His "me first" M.O. is based on stoking racial grievances and animosity in his base. His actual economic policies align exactly with the "swamp": funnel money to the wealthy. It sounds to me, frankly, that you are simply seeing what you want to see.
This seems disingenuous and arbitrary considering the decision to put Iran on a ban list was basically taken unilaterally by the US, all the while Cisco and Bluecoat were selling tech to build the great firewall of China, and a long list of other (US, Israeli, etc.) companies are selling tech to basically every authoritarian, oppressive regime out there without any legal or moral consequences.

As for Huawei, the fact that the bans and sanctions tend to be fluid and negotiable despite being called a national security issue kind of puts the "national" part into question. Someone certainly benefits.

And consider that the media does a great job in painting half of the picture. The other half is filled with the complete absence of articles related to US companies trying to steal secrets. The plausible explanation is that the media is heavily biased (in al honesty it's not like they could publish articles on active operations). In this context does it seem fair to judge having only half the information?
United States Intensifies Bitcoin Address Analysis in Opioid Fight
I'll be cynical and say: Yeah, and what do I care? As a developer I care about employment. How many people do you know writing Java Card code? How many does the world even need? I'm willing to bet that there's at least 100 regular Java devs for 1 Java Card dev.
Most people born during that time were never drafted. Out of a pool of 27 million eligible men, only 2.2 million (about 8% or 1 out of 12) were ever drafted. And there was of course an easy out: Go to college, which back then, you could pay for with a summer job.
I think you are forgetting about the US healthcare system and how horrible it is compared to the rest of the modern world.

Actually a lot of hate on Musk is coming from him being completely unethical.

From transactions like SolarCity to calling divers pedophiles to allowing Autopilot to even be deployed en masse.
Yes, I'm not saying that Stack Overflow doesn't have "birdies". For example, I really enjoy this user's consistently high quality answers: https://stackoverflow.com/users/224132/peter-cordes
Big +1. This sounds hyperbolic but I really do think that our best chance for world peace is resting on us reading primary sources.

If there are editorials, fine, but don't just confirmation bias and move on. Read the primary source.
Sort of depends on your opinion about what "constitutes" a person. Is just the physical body? Is it the genes? Is it the bonds they form and the memories they make? Is it the difference they made in the lives of their kind ; effected social change, contributed to research or in general been a good influence on other? All of these tend to live on after the physical body is no more. There is no mystic element to it. Just plain facts.
> environmental impact

Many (but certainly not all) externalities are process waste and an often an opportunity for margins improvement if you can figure out how to eliminate that waste.

Now, if you can take those externalities that are not process waste but are still bad for the environment and you can put a price on them that needs to be paid, competition is going to drive businesses to figure out how to reduce the externalities. This is the premise behind buying carbon credits/offsets.

The problem is that we don't yet have good ways to price in all externalities into the final cost of goods sold. That should be the problem we tackle.
Huawei is still a largely a networking equipment company, the consumer branch of it is growing very fast, but not essential, as per their CEO.
mi trovis mian edzinon per Esperanto, sed mi devis lerni alian lingvon por paroli kun ŝia familio, kiuj ne parolas Esperanton
Esperanto is not universally easy to learn. It’s easy to learn for Occidental people, because it’s biased toward European languages from which it takes most of its roots. Lots of choices made in Esperanto are arbitrary decisions that don’t sound natural at all to someone coming from another linguistic area.
> Its a smear that they are anti-diversity.

No it's not. Many prominent figures in the GOP have courted openly racist views over the years.

Some highlights:

Rep Steve King, who has a very long history of espousing racist views, openly questioned why "White Nationalism" is now an offensive term.[0] Do you believe that the concept of white nationalism or any of its ancillary movements to be offensive?

Deceased GOP strategist Tom Hofeller was an architect behind current efforts to gerrymander voting districts throughout the US, and his daughter handed over a hard drive containing documents he wrote that described in detail efforts to take voting strength away from voters of color by implementing a citizenship question on the 2020 census.

How can the desire to take voting power away from non-whites be construed as anything other than racist? The GOP is clearly threatened by the minority vote and have taken dramatic steps behind the scenes to remove them from the voting population[1].

> A lot of the young men I know feel disenfranchised in a system that does not value them even though they are not in any positions of power.

And how exactly does the GOP plan to deal with this? Bernie's Green New Deal guarantees thousands of jobs because the progressive movement sees stagnation among the youth. The GOP just cuts taxes and claims everyone wins when that's far from the reality.

The FICO system isn't technically government-mandated, but it might as well be. If you try to get a security clearance, for instance, your FICO score/credit history is easily the #1 thing they look at.
We need to find to re-own the fucking swastika.

I'd be happy not seeing references to any religion and, quite frankly, I would hesitate to associate my employer with anything espousing religious dogma.
First, don't take my counts as gospel.

.... lessee ... OK, the Debian 10 ("buster") release notes give "over 59,000 other packages" (in addition to a dozen or so listed), so it's about 10k that didn't make the stable release.

https://www.debian.org/News/2019/20190706

Only software with no release-critical bugs is included in the release, and with 70k+ packages in total, it's not surprising that some (mostly more obscure / unmaintained / or recently developed, I'd suspect) don't make the release cut.

Debian also makes a practice of splitting out source packages ("over 29,000") into release packages, along arbitrary divisions such as: core vs. additional / support packages, base and dev, debug (unstripped and debugging compiliation options left in), documentation, and increasingly, various language support. So a single upstream could conceivably result in numerous Debian releases. Development tools are especially prone to this, see Python, Perl, R, etc., as examples.

This allows for modularlity and precision in package selection, smaller installations, and choices in performance vs. diagnostics (debug) options. Pared-down systems can be configured without documentation packages, a fat desktop can be configured with full docs and support.

Incidentally, the integrated support and DWWW package (Debian-WWW project) make your system effectively self-documenting via a local webserver, which can be extremely helpful.

Similarly, each installed package creates an entry in /usr/share/doc/<packagename>, without the idiotic version number Red Hat adds (frustrating the ability to link directly to package docs without knowing the specific version number).

It's even possible to reconstruct the package set of a corrupted Debian system from that list:

Public examples used to be easier to find, this one turns up searching "powered by dwww version":

>If there is no afterlife, then what IS the point of this life?

If there is no afterlife, no elsewhere, then the takeaway is not that nothing matters, or that life has no point. Rather, it is the opposite: what we do in the here and now is the only thing that will ever matter.
> There is no question that these are Buddhist swastikas; they are clockwise

They are paired mirror images, so they are both clockwise and counterclockwise.
I'd recommend signing up for a VPN in order to get around region blocking, and watching whatever the public television sites in Germany, Austria and Switzerland make available for free streaming online.

Or, if you like podcasts, just switch to German-language podcasts. That's how I keep my French brushed up, and it works a treat.

FWIW, I think the same works for Esperanto. I don't speak Esperanto (yet) so I don't know their quality, but I looked into availability of media recently because I've been thinking of learning it, and it seems that there are plenty of podcasts in esperanto, and even some international news services that do a regular program in esperanto. Not anywhere near as much as English, of course, but it looks like plenty enough to keep a body entertained on the way to B2 level or so.
Airbus, Boeing and SoftBank Develop Stratospheric Drones
I'm in Seattle, and my house only a couple of blocks away from a new light-rail transit station that is opening. My neighborhood has been rezoned for MRU (condos and apartments vs the single family homes that are here now). Plus, the city is widening the main road my house is on (overdue anyway, but will definitely be further needed with the traffic to the rail station).

So we're either going to be bought by a developer or bought by the city, whichever comes first.

It's been an exercise in details for me, because I generally am not a NIMBY-ist and support the sorts of changes that will be moving us from our home. My objections are not to the fact that this will happen...but there's been VAST uncertainty.

* Will be forced out? If so, on what terms? (City is currently saying "relocation" rather than "property purchase", but only vague terms so far)

* Will a developer offer us enough money to match the way real estate costs have soared in the area? Would this be a nice payout, a basically flat deal, or a net reduction in convenience/comfort?

* And the real kicker...When? We've been told more info would be available in 6-24 months for...at least 2 years, probably 3. As it stands now, other than more certainty that staying is not an option, we still don't have any answers, certainly not enough to make plans for. I've let house repairs and maintenance lapse (overdue for a new roof and the electrical system is woefully inadequate. Drainage needs to be improved, and our fence has started to sag. A tree came down and we've just left it.)

When reading these sorts of debates I always imagined it was just a matter of "suck it up and accept that you have to have some inconvenience for the greater good". In practice, I didn't realize it would be years of uncertainty. Not knowing where you will live and what your resources will be like has been a real source of stress for my wife and I. Having a house that is creeping into disrepair and not knowing if you will put up with it for a year or 5 years before it is all torn down is a big pain. It puts another light on why someone might push back.

I'm still in favor of the greater good - but the cost has not been "I have to move". It's been much more.
Is there a Windows version for RISC-V? Can they still legally use it? Do they want to dependent on Microsoft? I think these are questions that need an answer and I doubt that they are all answered affirmatively.
Number of transistors/$ is about to reach a plateau soon (if it hasn’t already.)

More powerful GPUs will happen as Moore’s Law continues for a few more years, but the free for all will soon be over.

This is true for the whole semiconductor industry, and the consequences will be very interesting, not necessarily in a good way.
In the circles I watch and hang around, we've moved from a cynical nihilism about government (nothing matters, elites always win) to a reckoning that we have to invest time and energy in our governance to get it to work for us.

That age band is the 30-40 year olds, with a smattering of older and younger. I would say we have gotten more idealistic, but also more pragmatic. We like the ideals, we recognize that the country coasted when we were younger, now it's time to take up the burden that the older generations didn't. Things aren't going to just happen with a march here or a slogan there. We need to invest ourselves, and this seems to be broadly understood.

Regarding religion - no observer is going to be surprised that religion is collapsing in the US. No one should be surprised. I think we have some curious turns ahead there, but I'll defer those to a theological/religious studies audience.

And, of course, kids relates to the economic environment and the state of the parents' mental health. If you're worried about providing for yourself and you're a responsible human being, you are not going to have kids, because you know you nee to provide for them too.
Keep your companies straight.

The bonds that SpaceX bought both helped the company stay afloat, and were at above market rates. And SpaceX made money off of that. SpaceX's involvement made sense, both tentatively (in the hope that SpaceX would get technology that they want down the road) and immediately (financial returns). The deal worked out well for SpaceX. Though it didn't pan out for their eventual hopes down the road.

Tesla is the company that really sank money in. Their synergy made more sense, Tesla has a lot of expertise in batteries and solar panels + batteries is a great combination. This is true at a small scale such as the home installations of solar panels + batteries that Tesla sold. Or at a large scale such as the South Australian battery project. And even in a distributed project such as the solar panels that Tesla added to a ton of supercharging stations.

That said, the Tesla involvement in Solar City has been a disaster for Tesla. (Though not for Elon Musk.) But Musk has always run financial house of cards. And he has enough going his way that he could still come out on top. The story with Musk is that he either will change the world or go out with a bang. This is still true. But he's coming ever closer to really changing the world, and the bang if he goes out will be truly spectacular.
If it's Feb 29 then you know for sure it isn't 10 years past a leap year, since they are every four years.
Same reason we have OLAP and OLTP systems. Same reason it makes sense for some use cases to set up a Hadoop cluster, and for others to have a single but fast CPU: some tasks can be run in parallel, others can't.

Have you read the ignorant article?

I suggest that you check the quality of life of the top contributors to the migration from Western Europe in the 90ies. You'll notice that Ireland was a very poor country up until the Celtic Tiger era, and there was an active guerilla warfare happening.

If you want a little bit of actual recent data - https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/lpr_pop...

The number of permanent residents from EU:
United Kingdom 280k (50k of them recent immigrants)
Germany 170k (20k of recent immigrants)
Poland 130k (30k of them are recent immigrants)

Others are less than 100k.
Recent immigrants are people that have an LPR and aren't eligible to be naturalized yet - less than 3 or 5 years residing in US.
Here is some food for thought on that subject http://tagoreweb.in/Render/ShowContent.aspx?ct=Essays&bi=72E...

“I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.”

A legacy is the closest we really get to an "afterlife". Children offer two kinds of legacy. One is the memory of you, the other is the continuation of your genes.
> There are far larger financial crimes to go after

That isn't a reason to not go after Musk.

Executives at all levels need to be made an example of when they commit a crime. Otherwise it encourages others to do the same.
This seems like a good time to endorse the "real" Roget's Thesaurus (currently titled, 'Roget's International Thesaurus' with "The Original Roget's" on the dust cover).

I'd wager many (?most) folks have only used a dictionary-style thesaurus or some online version. But, kind of like RPN calculators <heh>, once you master a real thesaurus it's a game-changer.

For those not familiar: all the 'target' words are fully indexed against the main section where Platonic ideals, as it were, comprise fundamental language constructs. Think: Dewey Decimal System, but for words.

Usage: locate the word you want to match in the index (which is about one-quarter of the page count!); find the section ID for the matching concept(s); flip forward into the body section to the numbered § where is listed all the words in that category.

There you find not just a handful of synonyms as you get from a dictionary-style but every word that is nuanced, colloquial, arcane, &. — they're all there. It's frequently in the dozens and sometimes is more than a full-page column. There is no comparison in the quality of choices between the two formats.

NB: my college roommate turned me onto this as a freshman and it's been one of my greatest research/writing tips ever since.

I mostly agree with you, even if this reads like a shortened college essay.

My parents are 60-70yo, in the streets for Sanders. I don't think you are the only cynic, far from it, but the real problem is when cynicism breeds obedience. You can't believe your cynicism isn't the result of calculation, can you?
The importance of consumable media should not be underestimated.

My native language is Finnish, which is farther from English than Hindi. But I learnt English at a very young age simply via TV, Games and Movies. And that’s the reason why English skills are so high here in general. It doesn’t matter that English is ”clunky”. It’s so pervasive that it’s hard not to learn it.

It won’t die because it makes yuppies feel superior to the plebes who eat at McDonalds. My wife once encountered a lawyer at a prominent DC firm who literally sneered at the idea of eating McDonalds. I think of her every time we drive through to get an Egg McMuffin.
The Iconic Image of the Global Warming Movement Is a Fraud
Religion, at least the dominant Evangelical Christian kind, has gotten increasingly politicized, to the point where religious == conservative (note I'm using JS-style "truthy" here, I know that this isn't a blanket case).

So it's not surprising that young Americans, who are generally liberal, don't consider themselves religious.

And as for having kids? Not only is it more expensive and stressful than ever before, but we're slowly moving away from the mindset that a woman's primary purpose is to raise children.

That, and I think a lot of folks have started to reflect on how having kids didn't seem to make their unhappy parents any more fulfilled.
Like one of my American friends said - they don't teach geography in school here.

Just because you're allowed to rewrite history, it doesn't make your rewritten history true. Musk wasn't involved in Tesla until their Series A (a round which he led as an investor), but soon after became involved in the company's operations. Eventually the original founders were ousted from the company, and later Musk just started calling himself a founder. There was a lawsuit[0], and the eventual settlement allowed this revision to occur. Reading between the lines suggests that the original founder just gave in, thinking that it was better for his reputation just to let it go.

We have no idea, of course, what would have happened if the original founders had stayed in charge and Musk hadn't joined. Maybe the company would have failed. Maybe it would be doing even better than it is. Who knows. That's immaterial to the argument. Regardless of what Musk would like you to believe, or what a court settlement allows, he did not actually found Tesla.
