A lot of good stuff! I'm glad they're finally going fully decentralized. ZeroTier is a really underappreciated piece of software, especially considering that it's open source.

On the other hand, I am one of the apparently few people who actually have set up ZeroTier on "really tiny routers"... at least, routers with 128MB of RAM, which I guess falls under their definition of tiny since they would have a hard time tolerating a "20-30mb" increase in RAM usage. Luckily for me, I'm no longer using those routers, but I'd like to be able to set them back up in the future if I need them. So I hope ZeroTier does get around to making a "super-minimal reduced feature set C++-only client"...
> There are also many legal safeguards in place to prevent it being used for fraud, negligence, etc.

You're doing a thing which is quite frequent on HN, which is where you say that unethical behaviors are prevented because some narrow definition of those unethical behaviors is illegal. But the bit I quoted above is an unethical behavior which is clearly not prevented by the law.

I'm studying machine learning as a PhD student at Caltech. I have heard of graduating ML PhD students from my department making $400-500k/year as a starting salary. Heck, they could probably retire by 35. I doubt any English major could match that... I wish the NYT article also looked at starting salaries of fresh PhDs, not just new college grads.
> Company Vice President and Treasurer Douglas Patterson thought it would be a clever idea to use the actual SSN of his secretary, Mrs. Hilda Schrader Whitcher.

Can someone explain why this would be “clever?” It just sounds like a bad idea to me.
I am very excited about this update. ZeroTier is a great project that, at least as I use it, would be best described as "Hamachi for sysadmins". Just one command, zerotier-cli join <id>, connects your machine to a layer 2 VPN with automagical mesh routing and NAT punching. Add your laptop and all your random cloud servers, home machines, raspberry pis, whatever – now you can connect to any of them as long as there is some path in between.

The only real issue I had is that it wouldn't work unless every machine had access to the root servers. That seems like it's no longer the case in 2.0, which is great news.

My experience relating being raped to friends was generally not a positive one. I found women tended to be more open to believing my story. Men were pretty skeptical. Of course, sharing my experience didn't happen for many years. In the mid 1980s the idea that men even could be raped by a woman was a bit farfetched both socially and legally.

Anecdotal:

I'm female and I like playing city building games and puzzle games, like Tetris or match three games. My sons have introduced me to games like Master of Magic by saying "It's like your favorite: SimCity" and then helping me relate to it as a civilization building game, downplaying the fighty aspects.

I think my point is that gendered expectations can be overcome to some degree, especially if you have allies who aren't invested in keeping you stuck in a particular role. Generally speaking, men who were romantically interested in me have failed to be that kind of ally.

Could you define bias against obesity and elderly here?

If I were to categorize the elderly as generally less capable than say, a man in his 40s, I would also generally be right. Age comes with it's demerits, and recognizing this would not be anti-elderly bias.

From what I gather, bias is an issue when it unfairly penalizes people for factors outside their control that do not significantly impact their capability.
I think it is a fair comparison, because this is measuring career progression. Social science professions progress toward management positions or law. What would be a similar path for engineers? If that doesn't exist, then it is a problem that needs to be dealt with.

> One of the largest and most popular courses in the Stanford computer science department is CS229 — Machine Learning, taught by the artificial intelligence expert and entrepreneur Andrew Ng. This course did not exist until 2003, when Professor Ng taught it for the first time with 68 students, and very little like it existed anywhere on college campuses 15 years ago. Today, the machine learning courses at Stanford enroll more than a thousand students.

Machine Learning was a standard offering in CS departments in the early 2000's. It was already a venerable subfield with much of the basic theory having been developed in the 1970's and 1980's. I remember thinking it was something of a curiosity and not terribly practical but it's absurd to imply it sprung from nothing.
FPGAs are pretty amazing for all kinds of signal processing, and that's what I use them for pretty extensively in my hobbies, but I don't really know how prevalent that is in the Maker community (especially beyond a level where you could use DSPs instead).

I know quite a bit about Marxism and modern incarnations of his ideologies. Have you ever lived in a Socialist/Marxist society? The only people who think this ideology is good are those who have never lived within the grips of such evil. Well, I have, and I have friends who lived in the USSR who did as well. When anyone talks about Marxism and Socialism everyone shakes their heads in disbelief.

BTW, as a matter of principle I never down-vote anyone on HN or elsewhere. I firmly believe in open discourse and free speech, which means I have to give particular care to opinions with which I might not agree. If you are getting down-votes, it isn't me. I have no problem whatsoever with anyone disagreeing with me so long as the exchange is respectful and intellectually honest.

I worked in shipping and in fact the UPS shipping software will open IE for certain pickup booking tasks. I tried to use firefox or chrome with the same URL and it didn’t work.

Communities yes, but they tend to toss out outgroups hard when they come for help. And then when a community can't deal with the change at all, it is more dangerous to others around.
There are limits of what banding together can do in small communities.

> There's no way for multiple branches of code to access the same variable at the same time in JS.

This is 100% true and it’s the very reason why we do not need locks. There is no thing called a critical section in JavaScript because in JavaScript all of your code runs on a single thread and it’s all equal therefore none of it is more volatile than any other piece code. All that you need to manage asynchronous concurrency is good state management, not “locks”, because there is nothing to lock since there are not multiple threads asking any of your JS code for control of execution at the same exact time. It’s all scheduled for you onto your single thread.

With that, what you don’t get in JS of course, is shared-state parallelism.

It's part of getting older.

Not many things quit at their peak. You tend to notice less things which were past their peak when you were growing up and remember things which peaked while you were around.

It might have something to do with why people get more conservative as they get older. There's a bias towards thinking things were better before than they are now when people just don't remember the crap from when they were younger and things actually are pretty much the same (or really are generally getting better by most metrics)

> In the end it takes the person pushing themselves. And unless the person has a real love for the material, people just won't.

Love for the material isn't the only possible motivation; people need motivation and discipline to stick with it, but the motivation doesn't have to be love of the material and there's no reason that that motivation or discipline has to be integrated. Some people will bring their own (of both), people that have the first can get the other by any number of means. Sure, there are programs that package everything (except probably basic motivation) together, and sure, they are good for some people, but they aren't necessarily ideal for everyone, and certainly aren't always the most cost effective for people that have their own motivation and discipline.

They'll usually know as much, and often more, yes (their job isn't to treat people but to write about treating people, that gives them more time & incentive to learn). At the very least, they know enough to be cautious when they encounter some claims. It'd be easy for me to convince a general journalist that Perl is the language of tomorrow. It'll be much harder to convince a journalist that has worked in software development and still keeps up.

A journalist that has a medical background can judge these things much better, can actually read studies and understands the monetary incentives given by pharma companies - and in most cases they are not part of the game, they are not paid to shill.

but bias toward gay people has dramatically fallen over the last couple of decades

Online dating has proven to help gays with successfully finding relationships. Gays can be openly gay online while protecting their privacy. This has helped give people some exposure to gays and their problems who wouldn't otherwise have similar exposure in meat space.

I also think the trend to identify as asexual where such people were probably historically viewed as committed bachelors has probably helped take some of the discomfort out of the equation. Historically, not being interested in sex was not a sexual identity. Now it is.

And that takes the concept of sexual identity into new territory that I think makes it less threatening because it casts light on the fact that sexual identity can be about you and not about other people per se, if that makes sense.
> So oil tripling overnight would not result in a tripling of energy prices.

By the very nature of energy, oil prices CAN'T triple without all other energy sources also tripling.

If there was a shortage of oil then the price of oil simply could not go up unless there just wasn't enough energy from other sources. Oil (and natural gas) are the most flexible of all energy sources, most of them are pretty maxed out, but oil and gas can adjust to take up slack.

So far only one other comment seems to have pointed out that this is a patent filing -- from 2016, no less -- not a commitment. Apple has filed many, many patents over the years that haven't gone anywhere. Meanwhile, there's been several rumors from the supply chain that the next keyboard design from Apple that's actually going into production goes back to scissor switches.

I think it might be worth waiting to see what the next new keyboard design -- which may not be the next laptop that they ship, depending on how far their infamously long pipeline stretches -- actually is before bringing out the tar and feathers.

The most important bit will be food and water safety, parts ever father from equator will be overloaded in terms of food production. Water facilities are not prepared to deal with the magnitude of change and it will be a lot of work to bring them up.

The big problem here is that such preparations ahead of time are not exactly economically viable, and mostly impossible "just in time" as they require systemic changes.

Once these pressures are bad enough, we'll have a big problem.

Just a note about using uuid as a primary key. Typically you will use a b-tree index, which likes to keep things sorted. So something like a serial number works best, because it is already sorted and will be appended at the end. Otherwise inserting a new column will cause traversal the b-tree all over the place which will hurt performance it you do a lot of inserts.

If you really want to use uuid and care about performance you might prefix it with something that's increasing like a date, or perhaps (did not try it) use hash index (need to be PG 10+).
What's that purpose then for a secret instruction set?
I wished on more than 1 occasion that I could just use one of my ZeroTier nodes in other locations as an exit node and tunnel traffic through it though.

I think that might already be possible but it'd be nice if the configuration was abstracted away behind some simple interface.
