Attitudes like this contributed to the last crash. I sincerely hope that this is a joke, because it’s an incredibly stupid thing to do.
Well, that depends on context and language. I know at least on language where the binary representation of String and String|Int is different and where the difference matters.

When people say that inequality is a problem in society, they are not saying everyone in society should be equal. They're saying maybe it's not a good state of affairs if 1% of the people own 50% of the wealth.

I really want to use Apple Maps full time on my iPhone, just because of how much clutter Google Maps has accumulated on the screen.

If anything tells me Google is losing the ability to innovate it's the newly added pill buttons for pre-set searches and branded POIs on the map. I remember when this was added to MapQuest circa 2010, and was the transition from trying to have an excellent mapping experience to just adding revenue focused features.

Google is still operating from an extremely strong position, by nature of having nearly infinite budget and owning their mapping and search dataset. It's concerning that the iOS app seems to be suffering from the same issues that preceded the gradual downfall of MapQuest from a product perspective.
Total complexity must then exclude the layers of hardware, cloud infrastructure, and FOSS contributions that involved many other people.

> Solutions like these are a bit more limited as they aren't embedded into your browser UI, so you have to open a new website and paste the link in. This mere effort adds a layer of complexity which can kind of turn the user off to bookmarking.

That assumes the main goal is quantity of bookmarks. That you want to lower the cost of bookmarking as close to zero as possible. As someone that has been using bookmarks in the browser since the very early days of the WWW, I can't endorse that system for most bookmarks. The more important thing is to make it easy to add metadata, store the links, and then query/browse the information. A low-resistance system is simply opening the link in a new tab, and then when you decide it's time to clean up your tabs, you store them inside a system that holds the metadata necessary to make use of those links in the future. Everything is secondary to getting the metadata right.

Exactly. Technically ipv6 is designed to solve a real problem. Except the people who are charged with using/delivering service with IP addresses hate it with a passion.

The majority of network folks I have interacted with joke about it.

IPv6 is a terrible solution because ipv4 is so much easier for people to write down, remember, and actually use.

An ipv6 address is more like a MAC address in that it exists and it’s supposed to be unique but no one is reciting their MAC address every day.

Phone numbers, mailing addresses, and email addresses are all memorable. IPv6 is not and will not succeed as a result.

Yes, I’m acutely aware it’s being forced on the industry because ipv4 is running out and there is no other option. However, the price of ipv4 blocks shows how badly people don’t want to switch to this miserable standard.

You perfectly described the reasons I don't have children. I'm a bit older and my spouse is reaching the age where she hits her fertility cliff. We both see a society that makes having children more akin to a luxury good.

Many of my friends and coworkers have decided to have children and I watch how it seriously mars their ability to do the things they would like to do in life. The costs associated with a child are so high (USDA put it at ~$250000 for a first child from age 0-18[1]) the incentives are aligned against having children.

Many commenters are pointing out that population decline might be a good (something I agree with) but your point still stands. My SO and I are in a stable loving relationship and would be fairly good candidates for adoption but because the incentives are aligned against having children, adopting a child is still off the table.

You should watch the documentary Children of the Sun, which describes attempts by early kibbutz movements in Israel to raise children communally and not directly by their parents. There were upsides (the children grew up with characteristics that we would think of as strong and independent) and downsides (clear early-childhood trauma, with unclear consequences).
Straw man. Sure some Universities have branched out (to fill a demand we must suppose) with non-tradition degrees. But those departments are far from large. Universities still have vigorous STEM colleges that are doing well.

Further, who's to say college is a society-profiting institution? Why them and not, say, circuses? Movie houses? Candy manufacturers? Are we so poor a nation, that we have to cut institutions to the bone and they all have to be mercenary money makers?

Educated populace makes for better voters. Which God knows we need.
I do a lot of devops and haven't typed an IP address in a while. I do a lot of comparisons, however, and comparing 128 bit numbers is slightly more difficult than 32 bit numbers. Overall, I stopped remembering IP address a long time ago. I wouldn't recognize "jrock.us" if you showed it to me. I kind of recognize my current external IPv4 address, but it could be off by a lot before I'd notice.

I think, many years ago, I typed a lot of IP addresses, but don't anymore. I am personally fully-ready for IPv6, but understand that the world is not. (For example, my website was IPv6-accessible for many years, but changed providers and now it's not. I was a little sad about this, but it turns out nobody cares, so I didn't spend any time on it. Unfortunate, but someday it will work again, I'm sure.)

I tried opening Apple Maps, and they are still way behind Google in almost everything where I live in (EU, Italy). For instance, Apple Maps correctly pins my parent's house but they show it as being several hundred metres away from the street (it's not). Look around also isn't available in my area, and as far as I could see it's not even available in Milan (there's 3D available, though). The only areas I saw the binoculars icon turning on was while hovering over London and Dublin, which puts it firmly at least 10 years behind what Google's been offering in Europe, which has close to complete coverage of rural areas, including in certain parts even roads not fully paved.

I think that outside the USA (and China, where Google maps isn't available) it will be a while before people will actually consider switching. The only thing I'm sure of is that I haven't seen any iPhone user using Apple Maps in my area since, I don't know, ever.

Nitpick: IE11's implementation of Map isn't iterable, which makes it largely useless for practical purposes. Real-world codebases that use Map and care about running on IE11 polyfill it.

The BOA leak, and several others, got burned by that Daniel Dumbshit guy over some petty personal disputes on how Wikileaks was run. That's what the Benedict Cumberbatch movie was all about, told from the perspective of the shithead who wiped all that data.

Wikileaks had an image of a Bank of America VP laptop with email discussion about the creation and exploitation of predatory loans, and a complete indifference to the eventual 2008 crash that they knew it would cause.

As to the DNC stuff, yeah Assange was probabally used by the Russian intelligence, but it was probabally an easy sell. Hillary really did (maybe jokingly?) call for Assange to be assassinated when she was secretary of state. He had every reason in the world to cut off her ascent to power.

If you want a really good look at Assange's humanity around the time of all the DNC craziness, Laura Portrias was living with him at the time and filming him all day every day, and turned it into a movie called "Risk". https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4964772/ Very similar vibe to Citizen Four, but with Assange instead of Snowden. Also for some reason it didn't get much attention because all sides hating on Assange became super trendy around that time.

For what it's worth, my political alignment is probabally far more liberal than the majority of people on this site, and I've been a Wikileaks supporter since they were just leaking internal fraternity documents.
It wasn’t illegal, surprising, or even a particularly big deal that the DNC was leery of Sanders and had friends in the Clinton camp. If anything it’s remarkable that there was no there there. All those emails and there was barely anything that, even out of context, looked really bad.

In the public imagination the hacked emails got conflated with the “Clinton email server”. The point was just to muddy the water.

I wonder if the Russians dumped the whole inbox rather than selected messages because they couldn’t find any really bad ones.
I'm not that sure on how an adoption rate of 30-35% speaks for itself?

https://www.google.com/intl/ru/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=ipv6...

Maybe you mean that the increase in adoption is too slow, and I agree to that, but change always takes more time than we want, specially when there isn't clear financial incentives.

That is roughly 500 bits per square micrometer or 2000 square nanometers per bit or an average (assuming square lattice) distance of 50 nanometers per bit.
Which may mean the EU changing, or the US changing. Further together or further apart, who knows. A likely outcome of disruption is, further glitches. But lets keep our fingers crossed!
The designers didn't imagine the prefix to be eternal, that's why there's a lot of support for automatic renumbering (address lifetimes with concurrent deprecated and active addresses, with support for this built into address autoconfiguration mechanisms like dhcpv6 and slaac from the start, etc). So it's better than "v4 with more bits".

The CDX is more practical than the Nomad, though. I will agree that it's a poor portable CD player, but it's the most compact Genesis and Sega CD. It even works with the 32X, and there are 3d-printed supports for the CDX/32X to help with the 32X weight.

I may just be proving your point, though.
This is all your opinion. As someone that literally lives in Zone 2, I rely on Citymapper literally every day and in my actual experience as a Londoner, Citymapper beats Google every day. If Google were better, I'd use Google, but it's not.

Also, another major benefit of Citymapper over Google. Citymapper does a much better job of orienting you when walking. Google Maps seems to be slow, or maybe have UI issues when I'm trying to work out where I am and which direction I should be walking in. With Citymapper I never have an issue, it seems to use the IPhone compass functionality better than the Google Maps app.

The other major, major issue with Google, is the Directions UI on phone just seems half baked, like it was an after-thought. It has never felt nice to use and I'm often struggling trying to work out how to make it do what I want. I struggled when I first moved to London getting around until a co-worker advised I use CityMapper and then I never went back, it actually made me travel around London more because I felt so much more comfortable with how to get around.

E.g. On my phone I just tried to make Google show me a route from my home to a pharmacy in central London. The result: "Can't find a way there."

Google Maps can't, at least on my phone (11 pro) with the latest version, show me routes involving buses AND trains. It only shows me trains and not buses. If there is a way to make it show both it doesn't make it obvious.

In Google Maps I can only click on one option, walking, trains, car, etc. There is no option to just show me all methods and then compare them. This is one of the things CityMapper does incredibly well, it shows you every option possible and does so in a very nice presentation. Google Maps assumed you already know which SINGLE method of transportation you want to use and you have to choose it to begin with, which in my opinion is a poor way of handling this situation.

> tiny alumina particles which will float in the upper atmosphere for many years

Large quantities of such particles have actually been seriously proposed to help combat global warming. What are the downsides of them? When these particles finally migrate into the troposphere they quickly fall to Earth at relatively low velocity due to the very high drag.

I'm all against polluting the earth, but non-reactive aluminum particles in the quantities that we are talking about are such a non-issue in comparison to anything else.
Buku is great, but the browser extension still feels barebones (unless I've missed anything). I'm particularly bugged by the complete lack of auto-completion. E.g. when I tag a new bookmark as #devel, I would like to be offered suggestions for additional tags, based on my existing bookmarks. Possible suggestions to #devel would be #documentation, #api reference, #python, #javascript, #c etc. Similar for searching using tags. Moreover, auto-completion suggestions would save you from having to define and remember personal tagging conventions. E.g. shall I use #recipe or #recipes? Is it #open source or #open-source?

I'm also missing the option to somehow create bookmarklets based on tags, so I can replace static bookmark folders in the browser.

I believe these features would also be relevant for LinkAce (if not already implemented). For Buku, adding the functionality is in my backburner project list.

The frustrating thing about this is that they’re not necessarily off the mark in terms of the existence of political corruption. When you look at how lobbying works in the US, it’s pretty much legalized corruption.

They have a tendency to focus on the interpersonal relationships involved in these kinds of organizations because those are a lot easier to understand and criticize than the actual underlying behavior of the organizations they work for.

Ultimately, politics is all about who you know, and it’s not that far fetched at all to see Amazon hiring someone with close ties to the Biden Administration. That’s how this stuff has always worked.

To me it feels like the IPv6 dream of a fully peer-to-peer connected network was the wrong turn. Instead I think they should have rolled with NAT.

NAT is great because it acts as an abstraction layer for the external network, in that the nodes on the local network can talk to each other and be blissfully ignorant of the details of the external network.

And for the majority of local networks there's a fundamental asymmetry between the local and external network. The majority of nodes on local networks only ever need to connect _out_ to the external network, they don't need incoming connections.

Going to 128bit addresses essentially makes DNS required. And when using DNS nobody really cares about the address of the host. They just want to be able to talk to the host on the other end, whatever it is.

Being fully peer-to-peer is a pipe dream. Nobody wants their entire local network exposed to the entire internet without a firewall. And with a firewall comes the exact same hole-punching problem that NAT has.

So that's the problem they should have tried to solve better, I think. They should have embraced NAT and the inherent network asymmetry, and found ways to make it better rather than trying to abolish it. Embraced that DNS needs to play a more central role than it does today, because nobody really cares about addresses.

In my experience the toxicity you're talking about doesn't usually carry through to in person gatherings. Most people have at least some manners even if they are awkward and being in a group face to face adds social pressure to mind them. It's fairly rare that you see someone who is a complete boor since they are usually excluded from gatherings due to their behaviour. To make something like this work you'd need to leverage all of that cultural machinery that's already in place, networks of trust and reputation, consensus, expectations of politeness, etc. We still have all that social technology that's been built up over millennia, I think we're mostly just lacking the hubs around which we used to organize. Build the hub and people will provide the etiquette.
