"subverted the nature of open source and turned it into a "resource extraction" scheme. "

I'm not sure if that's a fair statement because the notion of 'resource extraction scheme' is entirely subjective.

If people are using the software in accordance with the license that you afford it, then that's it, there's nothing more you can ask.

If it turns out that 80% of the value is going to be captured by 'Big Corps', well, then that's what it is and it's entirely up to the Open Source developer to contemplate why they would want to do this or not. To each their own.

I suggest however, that there should be a better 3rd option that frankly doesn't exist, which is to allow devs to get paid commensurate with the popularity of their software, which would technically be commercial, but wherein the terms would actually be fairly open by any reasonable measure.

I suggest this dichotomy between 'Stallman/GPL vs. Evil Corps' is completely false and that it's mostly grey in between. It's just that there's a little bit of a cliff between the more open license and harder commercial terms which make things quite difficult for everyone aka imagine your corporate lawyer asked to review every one of the weird commercial terms of the 300 or so Node.js packages you're using ...
My rule is that I'm open to changing my mind, but on my own timetable and with no obligation to provide any feedback to the persuader. For instance, my time constant for updating my views is longer than one election or marketing cycle.

Another rule is that you win by having the best idea, not by being the most skilled debater.
Still waiting for Hetzner to support announcing provider independent (PI) IPv4/IPv6 subnets like vultr does for ages.
I think most police forces have one. A decade might mean there's new tech that can move the case forward or the criminal got caught for something else and it's just a matter of connecting the cases.

And yes, Durer's image is one that just grows on you. I've known of it since I was a child. It just keeps getting better. There is some Deep Dream feeling about it --- being told that there's something there, so you find it regardless of whether or not it actually is.

Try staring at a field of raw static for a while. (This used to be easier when television was an analogue broadcast, I'm not sure what the easiest source is now. Inkblots are another possible option.)

It's been a while (several years) since I read it, so my memory of specifics is kinda fuzzy. But I recall a generally favorable impression of it. Enough that I'll probably go back and re-read it at some point.
The only downside is you cannot do BGP on those IPv6-only hosts, as their BGP speaker is IPv4-only, so you cannot BYOIPv4 to those hosts, unless you route via their private network to another IPv4 enabled host first.
One big thing that has changed in regard to comments is that variables and functions can have longer names now. In most modern languages it is considered bad practice to have single letter variables, or even abbreviated ones, except in very well known cases.

So the rule of thumb for languages like python or ruby is that if you need comments to understand what your code is doing, then you messed up somewhere. Make it easier to read, keep your functions small, and add docstrings. Save your comments for why you're doing something.

But if you're using a less readable language like c, then by all means, comment everything along the way.

I just read a comment I wrote a few years ago that said "I don't know why I have to do it the long way, but it's the only thing that works consistently" over a bit of seemingly verbose code that I would have tried to simplify if I didn't remind myself of that previous struggle.
In unstructured pruning, individual weights of a weight tensor are pruned with no constraints on their position in the tensor. In structured pruning, there are constraints on which weights are pruned. Think of pruning an entire output channels of a convolutional layer vs pruning arbitrary weights of the same tensor. Unstructured pruning allows for a greater percentage of the weights to be pruned, but unstructured pruning doesn't speed up a network on hardware accelerators, which favor dense matrix multiplications.
I think that the dream was that you were going to see $50k new aircraft due to the easier regulation, but it didn't pan out, and new LSAs are more like $150k. When you can get a used 172 for the same money and have a far more capable aircraft, that's the direction most people end up going.

I could see some resurgence in the market with the large number of late-70s light aircraft starting to become unmaintainable though. It's hard to say with the opposing force of the shrinking pilot population though.
I've kept up the calls with my parents, but even this last visit -- the post-COVID visit where I brought my son to see them -- they just don't relate to anyone else on their terms. They only tell their stories again and again, and they take no input from anyone in the course of a few hours' visit.

It's really hard to take. There's almost no "there" there, and spending time with them isn't a fruitful endeavor, and even from a charitable "put in the time" perspective, they just kick into stories of regrets and mistakes and losses (real estate losses) and that doesn't seem to do them any good either.

My parents are immigrants, so I gave them decades of allowances for that, but.. man.. unsatisfying and painful the whole thing is.

I endeavor with all of my awareness not to be that to my son, ever.

"First, anyone coming to work on our campuses will need to be vaccinated. We’re rolling this policy out in the U.S. in the coming weeks and will expand to other regions in the coming months."

This is the trend in the last couple weeks among many companies and governments. It's just a shame the need for this wasn't realized 2-3 months ago. We could be far ahead of where we are today if more entities had been more aggressive about vaccine mandates. It almost feels like we're feigning collective surprise that a big chunk of Americans decided to take a staunchly anti-science, anti-medicine, anti-rationality stance. In reality, I think most of us saw this coming a mile away.
Can someone explain to me what does IPv6 offer that's IPv4 doesn't? Apart from way more addresses. A good article would suffice.
That's how they got the Unabomber.
Thank you for sharing the YouTube video, it was a great addition to the article!
There is something to this.

I am a big fan of the organization Braver Angels, which is working to reduce polarization and facilitate conversations between people with different viewpoints.

One of their biggest struggles is that they get significant participation from the "blue" tribe, but have trouble recruiting "red" tribe members. Some of this may be skepticism from the red tribe that they will be treated fairly, but I wonder how much is simply lack of interest in understanding others.
i live in an area with lots of deer.
They don't shoot the cougars that come into town, they tranq them and relocate them. So there are no predators for the deer. What's the answer?
I'd recommend Bear Blog if you're looking for a super minimal blog that just works.
It says the O2 (ISP) has no IPv6 support but as a O2 DSL customer in Germany I have an IPv6 address for at least a few years.
I mean, that does not contradict at all what OP is saying. /s
It feels ironic to post this on a site which itself does not support IPv6.
In a Chevy Volt, there’s a mechanism that mechanically attaches the motor to the wheels at speed above 35 mph for greater efficiency but below that it is a pure serial hybrid, disconnected from the wheel directly. But it rarely ever runs the engine. Pretty much only if you run out of charge.
It doesn't, as it compare general rates with self selected "good driving conditions" as defined by the software - only highways, only good enough weather, only good enough maintenance state of the car.
You must work at my company’s cyber security team. They’re convinced that the safest stuff is when that stuff is never allowed to exist in the first place. Which is probably true but in my opinion misses the point.
Worth noting that the spec was abandoned in part because enabling it actually makes you more likely to be tracked. It's another datapoint that can be used to fingerprint your device.
Exactly this, I agree with Kant who considered utilitarianism a morality fit only for English shopkeepers.

A lot of non-medical companies/organizations were waiting for full FDA approval before requiring vaccines to make doubly sure they are following the law.

The Justice Department posted an opinion yesterday saying it's legal to require vaccinations that are approved under EUA.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/26/politics/doj-covid-19-vaccine...

California State University responded by requiring students to get COVID-19 vaccines even if they are only approved under EUA, previously they had said their policy was to require them when FDA gave full approval.

https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/news/Pages/California-S...

Biden said that he expects full approval as early as late August. It's already been three months since Pfizer submitted their application for full approval, two since Moderna did.
You're totally right - no one wants cut rate mental health treatment. If you see my response to Jonni, I explain what our quality process is. Hopefully that convinces you that these aren't cut rate folks and rather very high quality professionals.

And you have good intuition about most of the US health care system, but mental health has some nuances that should be shared. First, many mental health practitioners do not take insurance (only 56% of psychiatrists, for example, take insurance). That makes patients more price sensitive. It's hard to pay $350/hour for help. Secondly, and more importantly, there is a massive shortage of these clinicians relative to demand. Wait times to see a psychiatrist in rural areas can be up to 6 months. That's a big part of the issue that we want to solve: i.e. how can we use our solution to really expand access to the services people need?
It seems this site relies on a check for the domains' AAAA records to see if they support IPv6. Doesn't have anything to do with IPv6 in the products/apps that those sites offer.

> do you contact to some manufacturer/factory, provide them some CAD files, etc... ?

Yes.

There are a wide variety of shops, and I am just talking here about proto-typing.

If you just want some metal tool plate precisely cut/drilled/tapped to specification (CAD drawings), there's a bunch of shops that specialize in prototype runs. I've used emachineshop.com, it was super easy and the results were exactly to spec. I like to design assemblies with such custom plates using 8020 extruded channels (8020.net) that can be ordered in cut/tapped sizes. Usually overkill and not appropriate for a finished product, it's heavy and expensive, but very customizable and robust. Perfect for few-of-a-kind builds or system-integration work.

The same thing goes for sheet metal fabrication and front panels. There's frontpanelexpress.com, they make front panels precision cut/finish and with whatever graphics you want.

For basic PCB enclosures, I like Hammond Manufacturing extruded aluminum enclosures. They have customization options but I haven't used those (https://www.hammfg.com/electronics/small-case/mods).

If you're serious, I recommend you build some prototypes, see how things go, then partner with experienced folks to go further.

Counter-intuitively, it only gets MORE complex, expensive and time-consuming AFTER the prototypes.
This discussion seems to be more about downvoting in general and across multiple sites, rather than specific accusations of certain groups downvote-brigading on HN, which dang usually responds to.

> If I wanted to buy a block for speculation (thus helping accelerate ipv6)

IPv4 sells for ~$40/IP right now.

The smallest block you can buy that is Internet routable is a /24.

If you're buying, you're likely buying from another speculator, so you're not helping accelerate anything, you're simply a(nother) middle man in a (series of) sale(s) of a commodity, looking to profit until the block eventually gets sold to a user.

None of that is said with any judgement, mind, as I've traded a /22 of IPv4 space for quite a handsome profit over the last few years. Just don't pretend there's any altruism or benefit to anyone else from your speculative activities.
I think you are right - weird or so cool it doesn't play well with ipv6?

Yeah, AWS ALSO had the issue of ipv6 on various services long before EC2 which was frustrating (I think you could terminate IPv6 at load balancer before they had IPv6 on instances?).

They tend to support services much longer so I think did the dual stack endpoints as separate endpoints in case someone had built something where if an intermediate or base DNS got updated and started providing IPv6 customer apps wouldn't break.

Google used to be much more get out of our way in terms of closing down / depreciation systems - so your stuff was always breaking - but on the upside they could do cleaner approaches (one set of endpoints etc). I've heard they've gotten some feedback that doesn't work so well on enterprise side so are dialing it back.
On which, the Cosmo or the MicroPC?

I was never brave enough to tinker with GNU/Linux on the Cosmo while it was my daily driver. I'm pretty sure that using the device that way comes with some pretty sever compromises.

On the Micro PC, I run Void Linux with KDE Plasma. I didn't do anything special, everything's mainline, so I'm sure at a technical level Ubuntu MATE would work perfectly well. The only interface tweaks I've made are to set the task manager to "icons only" to save space and added thermal/RAM/CPU monitors in the taskbar.

As for "toy gadget" vs "useful tool", I'd say that if you're the kind of person who likes to take your laptop everywhere, it's definitely for you.
Yet their website is not available over IPv6:

The wall is definitely there. And the wall keeps moving further and further away.

Totally right about the right tool for the job. And yes NoCode is the right tool for many simple crud apps.
Bear in mind, in many suburban neighborhoods, you will get fined for not mowing your lawn, and then the city will mow your lawn, and charge you for doing it.
They aren’t fully tested, they have emergency FDA approval but haven’t finished the standard approval process yet.
Thank you for the interest. You're right that there are many providers interested in telehealth, but filtering for quality folks and keeping them from churning is a non-trivial problem. In addition, it is a very supply-constrained vertical in medicine, so these problems are especially pressing. Part of the reason our current partners use our solution is because we do the upfront filtering, and we de-risk churn to a large extent. If you only want to use 20 hours a month from a great provider in NM, you don't have to worry that they're going to run off for a better offer, because we use their other time with other partners – and they remain satisfied.

Regarding continuity of care: these providers mostly have recurring availability, which makes it very easy to schedule them in advance for CBT or other types of recurring visits. We lean into continuity, rather than trying to avoid it with async approaches.

Regarding folks going around our platform to see our providers: frankly, that would more a liability to our customers than it would be to us, because they are the ones trying to maintain patient stickiness. Oftentimes, these services are employee benefits, so there's less problem here with patients trying to go around the platform. But the long term answer is we want to make it SO much easier for providers to see patients via our channels that they don't have any reason to go around us (and have to deal with malpractice insurance, payments, scheduling, and video infrastructure on their own).
I'm curious to see how enforcing the vaccination policy will work out. I haven't seen any other big company doing this move, and to my knowledge there are many engineers refusing to be vaccinated.
Now that's going all the way to the top!
That is not true. It is problematic in general but in some limited cases it is possible. For example, neighbors on WAN network could just send packets with dst address from your private LAN range directly to the WAN port of your router.

If the router is configured as both NAT (SNAT) and firewall, it will drop such packet as not associated with any existing flow, but if it is just configured as SNAT, then such packet would be just forwarded inside unmodified.

If you want to have a disconnect button, add as another button choice to the panel. Even make it default. But the original button shouldn't have been broken with no recourse.

Sounds like a great idea. One of the many factors increasing tick populations in Canada are roads. They subdivide forested areas and migration paths for deer which are the primary hosts for deer ticks. Which means deer stay closer together and so do the ticks. Along with the warmer climate it's turning into an epidemic.

It may not be perfect but starting to build affordances for wildlife seems like a fantastic idea for our health and theirs.
What I am arguing is that low-probability events can be treated as effectively certain over large enough sample sizes.

Similarly, dangerous jobs impose a societal health burden via workplace accidents. Each accident is one-off but in aggregate, a non-zero accident rate is a certain outcome.

Containment breaches of contagious diseases, while each a one-off event, are effectively certain over large enough sample sizes- and therefore should be considered as part of the cost of doing research into them.
So like I think this is kind the authors point. Downvote isn't going to solve everything but it is a tool that let people signal to one another of something being a miss. You can have spammers that downvote everything but like thats also detectable and can signal biases. In response to spammers, there is away to cancel out those biases with upvotes. And if there are spammers on both sides you'd expect to arrive close to 50/50 in which case that signals something to a read. If its 80% negative that also signals maybe we should understand why this is bad or why its to be avoided. However without a balancing force whats the difference of +50 and +1000? Both are positive even if the +1000 has 1000s of negative comments not everyone has the time to engage on a topic completely and +/- give a quick way to understand the content that should be engaged with on a deeper level because it is divisive. Without the tool not only would you never know the difference but you can never know the difference without engaging every topic at max effort which no person can do
Because most people like them and you don't personally have the final say in what happens out there.
>IPv6 takes that decision away from you

No, it doesn't. Your ISP is the one who can take that decision away from you. I have Google Fiber, and my public IPv4 address has not changed in around six months, while my IPv6 block has changed twice in that same time. This is despite replacing my router and several multi-hour power outages. I believe the only reliable way to get a new IPv4 address is to call support.
Toyota bet on Electric and Hydrogen, then proceeded to double-down on hydrogen. Then never really went all-in on electric and this sadly lost them their early lead.

> I hate that they don't even go through DHCP most of the time and just assume that last known IP is still available, all to "help it connect quicker".

Oh, I forgot all about that.

I worked at a K-12 that deployed Apple devices awhile back, and this behavior was a nightmare for network management. Especially for travelling teachers who would take their device to several different buildings throughout the day (and, therefore, different IP subnets with the same WiFi name).

The worst part was that some of the devices would just... never emit a DHCPREQUEST. They'd either ignore the fact that there was an address collision confusing everyone else's ARP tables, or connect to the network but stick with an IP that had no route to a gateway. As I recall -- it's been awhile -- even setting the lease duration to something very low didn't seem to help. Indeed, I think that made it worse.

It was bad enough at one point that we had those devices with the worst behavior set up with reserved IPs and a hidden WiFi network that was a district-wide VLAN with a single subnet.
If there was no sub-urbanization ... there would be same issues on the edge of urbanization.

It's a development thing, not a category I don't think.

Frankly, I wouldn't care half as much about how bad Safari was if it wasn't my only option on many Apple devices. I had to use an iPad for school for a few years, and Safari is yet unmatched for "frustratingly pointless incompatibilities" in the browser sector, even compared against the dumpster-fire options like Edge and Explorer.
