Good networking devices, such as Wi-Fi Access Points and Switches can filter out rogue ICMPv6 Router Advertisements (usually called RA guard). Professional networks should filter these. This is very comparable to e.g. rogue DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 servers and DHCP spoofing (the protection is usually called DHCP snooping).

In general, IPv6 is similarly secure as IPv4 or can be configured as such. In highly secure networks, Wi-Fi or other wireless is a no-no and everybody knows this. It is usually much easier to control access to all the physical locations. It isn't as easy to also have the same level of control in the parking lot before the building.
Oslo is more attractive than these cities despite the higher cost of living.

I live in Oslo and not in Tromsø for many reasons. Oslo has a much better weather, and has more sunlight during winter. It's much closer to other parts of the world, thanks to the international airport, the trains, the boats, and the roads. If you travel a bit, it's a huge difference. You have much more jobs in Oslo, so a higher chance to find interesting jobs. You also have a lot more people, and events, and culture. International music bands do live music in Oslo, rarely Bergen or Trondheim for example. And it has everything I want on the outdoor style, beaches, lakes, islands, sea, ski resorts, thousands of paths for biking, hiking, skiing. All that is well connected to public transport. You can take the subway from work to go skiing in the forest, and it's pretty nice.

I wonder what is your concern with public transport, etc in Berlin. The price?
IMO they are pretty reliable, and very often partly subsidized by your employer. Lots of of bike lanes too. In 30-40 min you can go anywhere inside the ring.

I am not sure, that this is a problem that needs centralized "solving".

I don't want anyone tell me, how much children I can or should have.

We got to make sure the work life balance is in order for people to have the time and money to afford a family and give adequate support like daycare etc.

But apart from that, I really don't like some buerocrats in some buerau somewhere calculating the "correct" number of births. That regulates itself. There is immigration and emigration. There is automatisation (elderly care), better medicine, so older people can tend to themself longer and less need of a "dumb" workforce etc. etc.

Trying to calculate it and declare meassures based that, can only fail in my opinion.
Bandcamp is nice, I've also bought many albums there. Streaming stuff I mostly listen on Tidal these days, so I can imagine I get the best possible (lossless) sound quality and don't have to think I'm downgrading from CD's to Spotify when it comes to that. Not that it's a huge or even a noticeable difference in many cases... but the revenue model seems better on Tidal for the artist.
"When in doubt choose C". I put that statement to the test in one of my college courses. Passed tests with surprising success.
It's also extremely expensive to train for any of these sports, in figure skating in the US you pay hundreds of euros every month for coaching and access to an ice rink only to a have a tiny tiny chance to be selected as one of ~5 competitors max. That doesn't include the mandatory very expensive costumes etc.
I guess it depends on where you live, and if you have regular reasons to come to the US. I live in Europe and have visited the US maybe three times in my life, and I wouldn't necessarily be terribly sad if I could never visit again. So, I'd take the risk.
If you want to be pedantic it probably can't emulate a guitar pedal that you can tap a representation of a Turing machine into and it will only make a sound if the machine halts.

I recall that, in the 2008 Olympics opening ceremony, China celebrated its ethnic minorities by having Han children dress up as them instead of letting any ethnic minorities represent themselves.

I don't think "harmonious" or "solidarity" or whatever other positive word you come up with would be an accurate representation of the relations of ethnic minorities. Especially if you were to ask the ethnic minorities themselves to come up with a word.
At this point, it seems that China's family planning policies aren't really directly related to population growth anymore. No policy/restrictions at all would probably not meaningfully impact gross population growth.

It's just about maintaining family planning as a public prerogative, atthis point.
Agreed.

And the idea that miners have a god-given right to make $100 per transaction, $40m per day, and therefore if the mining reward halves, the price of BTC must inevitably double, is obviously preposterous.
First enforce your (valid) criticism in other companies. If a person could make 10x what he/she currently makes with the same work, why would he/she settle for less? Even with very strong morals, this failing of capitalism should not be dealt with at Wikipedia’s level. Comparatively to US companies, wikipedia’s salaries are hardly extreme.
Yeah once you Tokyo or Seoul associated with work-life balance, something is not based on data and is based on something else.

There is no way a salaryman life can in any way be associated with quality work-life balance.

I wonder about stories like this, how much western propaganda they are composed. I've been to China, and observed this number of children policy to be completely ignored outside their major cities. It is not uncommon to see large families with 5-8 kids in their farming and areas of less population.
I doubt that works.

Every parent spends lots of money on their children. It should be a gift, not a dept.
What's the maximum traction that an electromagnet can cause? Is a thermonuclear powered super- in orbit thinkable? At least most human produced space garbage is magnetic I assume? So if we send multiple of those super magnets into orbit they would clean by slowly attracting small objects. So we reduce the problem from many tiny objects to a few larger easier to track electric dustballs. Anyone has some insight on why that does not work?

Your POV is one way of looking at it.

Another one is that the companies that we work for make insane profits despite the sky high compensation.

In isolation, without major legislation that depresses those profits too, it at least makes more sense to share the spoils with the shareholders and the employees than with the shareholders alone.

I didn’t think it would happen at the time, but compensation saw a significant jump in the years after the compensation cartel (Apple, Google, Intuit etc.) was broken up.

There's another chip w/ the SCAMP name, too. Unisys did a version of their "Series A" mainframe (which has a lineage back to thr Burroughs "large systems" of the 1960s) called SCAMP: http://www.retrocomputingtasmania.com/home/projects/unisysas...

I worked in an environment that had one of these. The host system was a Pentium Pro server that booted Windows NT and hosted a Series A instance using this chip.

> 43% Direct support to communities

> The Wikimedia projects exist thanks to volunteer communities around the world that create and maintain them. We strengthen these communities through grants, programs, events, trainings, partnerships, tools to augment contributor capacity, and support for the legal defense of editors.

My wife's friend just came to stay with us. He worked for the Wikimedia foundation for a long time and we were just talking about this. From what he said, after engineering expenses, legal expenses are the highest category. What he said happens is, say, the government of India finds editors with IP addresses in India, contributing to a page with a map not showing Kashmir as a part of India, and either arrests or sues those people, and Wikimedia Foundation tries to do all they can to provide legal defense for these people.

Ironically, this guy's biggest complaint and the reason he left Wikimedia is they don't pay enough for engineering. They're still fighting a propaganda war with all of the world's governments to provide accurate information, and that is a labor-intensive war being waged by true believers and volunteers. For instance, they block all IP blocks allocated to US legislative offices from editing any pages because of how consistently Congressional staffers were vandalizing pages and posting misinformation, but surely these people have learned of the existence of VPNs and working remotely. They clearly need better automated detection and moderation system, but to develop and deploy such systems, now they're competing with Facebook and Google for labor, but paying 1/3 of what Facebook and Google pay.

Apparently, people think the answer is they should just move to Vietnam or wherever labor rates are lowest.

Look, I don't doubt overseas developers are just as talented as anyone else, but history has inertia. There's a reason Silicon Valley firms are located in a place with university professors and professional mentors who invented much of the modern OS and Internet. I also don't doubt athletic talent is evenly spread around the world, but nonetheless South America and Europe dominate football, the US dominates baseball and basketball, Kenya dominates distance running. If you want to put together the best basketball team you possibly can, you go to Los Angeles, New York, or Chicago. You don't look around the world for the cheapest labor rates and go there.

This kind of nonsense is exactly why I left the nonprofit world so long ago. The public all believe labor should subsist at the bare minimum living wage of the cheapest possible place to live, and no money whatsoever should be spent on fundraising.

Just understand when you take this position, if the nonprofit is involved in anything that governments and for-profits might also be interested, say, influencing how and what information gets disseminated to the entire world and for what purpose, the non-profit trying to minimize cost at all cost is going to lose to the governments and for-profits every single time.
Come on. There is a huge stretch in jumping from only supporting ANSI due to legacy, laziness, whatever to being inadvertently “racist”. It is clumsy to say “usual” instead of “a-zA-Z”. It is not an exclusionary system. No one gets left out due to lack of unicode.
Maybe they included a lot of the suburbs. Vancouver has a fairly peaky distribution in that areas near it get more affordable faster than many other cities.
Assuming no selective-abortion shenanigans, every child you have is expected 50% male, 50% female (barring e.g. unusual men who only produce sperm of one gender—I think that exists but is extremely rare), so there's no possible strategy that leads to an uneven gender split, probability-wise.

But I think there were selective-abortion shenanigans, and that the policy was effectively in response to them. If we assume each family wants, as its first objective, to maximize the number of sons, and, as its second objective, to maximize the number of daughters, then each selective-aborting family would have exactly one daughter followed by one son under such a policy.

As a SWE in the EU who is eyeing the software industry in the US with considerable envy, I would not say we get by just fine, at all.

I don't see how you could afford all the things you mentioned on an average SWE salary in Europe. I have a very much above average SWE salary, and don't seem to be in any danger of getting a house and two cars anytime soon. I rent and don't have any cars, actually.

Healthcare is free, for the bare essentials. I pay a crazy amount per year for (private) healthcare, because the standard, mandatory insurance covers just about nothing of what I actually need. Consider that every month, I pay into the government healthcare system a lump sum which is approximately equivalent to the median salary in my country. This doesn't buy me any benefits - I get the same minimal coverage as everyone else. Socialism at its finest.

I'd be OK with it if the money actually went towards worthy causes. That is not the case, however - I am pretty sure most of the healthcare budget goes towards funding an antiquated, insanely oversized bureaucratic system. There's a whole social class of bureaucrats on the government payroll, who do pretty much nothing at all - you won't find them in the office after 3PM - who collect a meager but secure salary for their utter lack of effort and general uselessness.

More and more, I am jaded by the illusion of a "fairer" society in the EU, which often ends up being just a case of "everyone is guaranteed to get the same low-quality treatment".
I think it's just the fact that it reeks of the kind of focus-grouped design language where all the edges have been rounded off so that it can't possibly be objectionable to anyone. When you pair this with poor corporate citizenship like this, it just creates a bizarre dissonance between a company which is trying to project a warm and human aesthetic, while they are mistreating users with their actual actions.

But at the end of the day, I don't think it's Corporate Memphis' fault - it just happens to be the design aesthetic which is often paired with this kind of shitty behavior which nobody likes. If somebody is constantly feeding you bitter medicine on a silver spoon every day, you might grow to hate the spoon.

As a person with non-ASCII characters in name, i much prefer this approach than letting such characters pass but somehow fail on them later (which is not uncommon e.g. in airplane tickets or hotel reservations). Unless a system is vetted to handle Unicode properly, it should just be upfront about that.
That's because you know you cannot compete. Ironically, this kind of crab-in-the-bucket egalitarianism is a form of selfish self-interest on your part.

That we have chosen to collectively outsource the things we need to keep the sheer number of us alive without having to personally do them? Its not like we can return to hunter gathering because chaos would ensue.

> It's the banality of bigotry which gets to me. Usual. Normal. Standard. They’re just dull ways for dull people with limited imaginations to dehumanise other people. The people who designed this form probably didn’t think of themselves as racist. They just designed, built, or perpetuated a system which was exclusionary.

Laziness, carelessness, incompetence lead to poorly designed systems, including systems which exclude groups of people.
It's not just that the system is exclusionary (and definitionally it is, even if only for technical reasons).

It's that the phrase "unusual characters" is inherently exclusionary - if your name isn't spelled a certain way, it and you are unusual.

Moreover "unusual" is never actually defined. So it's doubly insulting because the definition of "unusual" itself is something like special knowledge held only by the in-group.

Not to mention it's just bad UX, and clearly bad design if your name can just be two apostrophes.

IMHO there is a difference between the two.

In one case you (hopefully) have good, secure infrastructure for a society's general needs. In the other you (potentially) have fragile infrastructure that may not be under your control.

I personally don't have too much of a problem with governments doing targeted operations at certain individuals, especially if they are important members of other governments.

Doing large-scale dragnets that catch innocent people who pose no risk or do not have any strategic/tactical value to your goals is something else. (Which the NSA has been guilty of doing in the past.)
