The article glosses over a very important piece of this story. No one tried to compel this designer to make a marriage site they disagreed with. The design firm preemptively filed the suit looking for a summary judgement guaranteeing they would not have to create such sites. They were looking for a fight.

With that said, there’s something about this ruling that feels very sinister. The idea that an artist might be compelled to create art that they fundamentally disagree with is some very dystopian stuff.

I’m a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and very practically speaking, if I want to commission art, I want to pay for something that the artist will pour their passion into.

It would disturb me if they were forced to create artwork for me under duress, even if I obviously disagree with the reasons they’d prefer not to.

Edit: Another aspect I hadn't considered - now imagine this ruling is upheld, and imagine artists don't have an opportunity to say "no". As a customer, I now might not even know where the artist stands, and honestly I'd like the option not to give such artists my business. It also raises questions about whether the finished product could ever be of the desired quality.
At least you're honest about living in a left-wing bubble.
No you missed the point. There was never any comparisons between BTC any other "money". There was just your claim that no one could take away you BTC which is true but irrelevant because you dont want the BTC you want the value. Which can be taken away form you any time. It doesn't matter that this is true for other money types as well. You specifically said that his is unique to BTC but its not true. No one said the claim you made is true for other types of money. Its just wrong for BTC.

>Your criticism of Bitcoin...

No, it did not it pointed out the flaw in your claim. Your logic is nonsense. Thats not a critic on BTC at all.

>Your argument essentially boils down to "I believe Bitcoin in particular will crash more than other monetary instruments, so it doesn't have value"

Again no, that was not my argument nor what I said and not even implied. You make shit up on the go to deflect from what I actually said which has nothing to do with bitcoin but everything with your nonsense claim t which you already agreed on that is is wrong as you said ...
>"....applies to all forms of "saving money" or preserving value."
Assuming they aren't charging for external IPv6 (I imagine they aren't), then there effectively is a discount for going v6-only - you just need to choose to disable external v4, and not enable v4 NAT. That'll save you a few $ per month per VM. (Public IPv4s are $0.004 per hour.)

It looks like there's currently no way to go literally v6-only, i.e. not even having a private v4 address on the VM. The instance metadata server as well as the default DNS and NTP servers are still v4-only.
> they're much faster than lifting a hand up to go hit Home or End

Hmm, I see jumping by words is Alt+f and Alt+b, which seems more awkward to follow up with than Ctrl+Home followed by Ctrl+Left, say. Then again, mostly depends on time spent I doing it assume.
Ah you're right. I got excited by this and wanted to share but I am not working on the project directly...

Because it doesn’t usually work out. Most of the time if you’re asking for physical cash to be transferred you’re going to get caught especially today given the miniaturization of electronics for trackers or beacons. It’s just too easy to follow whatever truck is being used to move the money and large amounts of money is quite bulky. You could maybe see some come back because of cryptocurrency and like the other reply said you could say that ransomware attacks is the modern day equivalent of this kind of extortion.
> US, China, Japan, India, Canada, Brazil, and most of the Europe

That's about half of the worlds population (and I bet more than half of the internet-connected population). If those countries start going exclusively IPv6, the rest of the world cannot afford to don't care much longer.
I don't find that voting systems are a positive evolution, generally. It's a non-committal way to interface for people that don't contribute any tangible content to a discussion. I remember when Facepunch Studios integrated it, which was simulating SA. It was years ago and I was a youth, but I remember, in myself at least, attempting to cater to voters. I don't suspect I fall far from the average interaction in that capacity. And I think that breeds disingenuous user interaction. And FP was a bog-standard BBS forum, the only thing that decided the content stream was moderation and new posts/threads; using votes to promote or demote content streams - targeting, [at least] has been pretty widely discussed as a hazard and that's all I see it as. So between those two features, targeting and disingenuous posting (itself a form of targeting), I think that voting systems at large are a real detractor in general conversation. And if we consider malefactors and echo formation... I just don't see a whole lot in the way of good other than streamlining and automating moderation, which is appropriate in some circumstances, in general conversation I think it just compromises the whole thing.

Of course, it's all dependent on the design of the website. If you're there simply to generate reams of data for marketing teams to sop up, that's something you can do with this sort of system. But if you're designing for legitimate vulnerability and honest to god expression 4chan is probably the best model in a sort of ironic twist. It's user-streamlined, no account, setup or email, the page is barebones, you don't need to post anything whatever and there's no history to haunt you. And maybe you could argue you can't trust anything on 4chan, but you could argue the same anywhere, and in fact I'd assume that the quantity of Facebook and Reddit are far more rife with artifice than 4chan. But FB and R aren't actually designed for absolute expression, they're designed to generate marketing feedback.
"It's what enables Tesla to turn off features that it doesn't think certain users should have."

As someone who follows Tesla closely, it is destroying my trust in the media. This line would lead you believe that Tesla does this on a regular basis. I know that's not the case. If you click the link it's referring to an isolated incident that involves a single largely anonymous person (alec). So it makes me question the whole article.

This story is also anecdotal... does anyone know if this really even a problem? If it were, it sounds like an opportunity for a competitor to make a simple to repair harvester.
Nice and smooth love it!
Thanks! Understood.
From Wikipedia [1]:

« Prions are misfolded proteins with the ability to transmit their misfolded
shape onto normal variants of the same protein. They characterize several
atal and transmissible neuro degenerative diseases in humans and many
other animals. It is not known what causes the normal protein to misfold, but
the abnormal three-dimensional structure is suspected of conferring
infectious properties, collapsing nearby protein molecules into the same
shape. […] There are no effective treatments for prion diseases. »

Basically, you get infected, you die. See also [2].

Does bleach even affect proteins? Isn't that protocol for an organism you're afraid of?

"Safari/WebKit is the best browser for users"

"If other browser engines were allowed in iOS, Chrome/Blink would take over the web browser market"

Pick one, folks. Either Safari is the best, in which case the WebKit monopoly is unnecessary; OR the iOS monopoly is the only thing preventing users from switching to a better browser.

It doesn't matter if you like PWAs or WebUSB. Or what you think about new web standards. The best browser is the browser regular users choose to use. Good web standards are standards that enable sites/apps that users want to use.

Right now, we don't know any of that because the lowest common denominator for the web is not what users want, but what Apple allows users to have. Claiming that those two things are the same sounds a bit weird to me.

It's surprising that people think that Chrome pushing web standards forward means that "everyone has to do what Google wants", while the only true gatekeeper between users and developers these days is Apple's iOS policies.

If you think that's not true, please answer: if a user in any configuration (device+os) WANTS to access your app and you WANT to develop for them, what set of device+os are mediated and by whom? Whose policies you MUST follow to have access to a (major) set of users?

(disclaimer: I'm a Chrome blink engineer involved in web standards)

How necessary is porting it, and for how long will old DirectX versions continue to work?

Having no knowledge of the code, I imagine if you have a functioning graphics layer, most of the work would happen on the underlying physics models and high level drawing/scene APIs, not directly interfacing with DX.
I remember while trying to figure out why Microsoft was blocking emails that IPv6 SMTP source addresses had a much higher risk of being blocked despite having done all the required stuff like PTR, SPF, DKIM. Microsoft's form to submit delisting an IP address does not even accept an IPv6 address: https://sender.office.com/

Stuff like this really hinders adoption.
I give a fair amount of credence to it because an understated element of software career at the moment is that is high pressure.

The truth is most likely in the middle, as usual.
Agreed to some extent. "Life science" is quite broad so there's a wide range of topics with varying degrees of complexity and difficulty. I dipped my toes in various apects of life science during a biomedical engineering major. There are specialties overlapping with most traditional fields; from specialties comprising a large part of memorization like physiology, tissue engineering, and biochemistry (medicine), to hardcore organic synthesis (organic chem.), biomechanics (mechanical eng.), systems biology (control and graph theory), biosensors (physics, chem, biochem), imaging (CS::ML & physics), protein engineering/polymer science (chem, phys), bioinformatics (CS) which got me into CS/SE and programming, and many more.

Often there are multidisciplinary research teams and depending on how little a specialization already overlaps with CS/SE-ish topics, having at least someone who realizes which mundane stuff can be automated can be invaluable.
Not My Keys, Not My Thoughts
It's especially bad on a site like HN - an account only gets a downvote capability if they've received what is it, 400 upvotes? - so you're assured that every downvote you receive is someone who says lots of things other people like to upvote (or are a serial link poster getting link karma upvotes).

There is an echo chamber here based on how the downvote rules work, and I've watched people's comments get brigade downvoted in minutes for posting a well written post like yours which goes against what all the "cool kids" think. And unless you run at the mouth to become "liked", you don't get the chance to disagree with your own downvote.
> Can you really talk to their stuff on ipv6 from GCP?

Nope. Until now it was impossible because you couldn't get v6 on GCP, so it was only useful for communicating with GCP APIs externally. Strangely, even now you can't talk to their stuff over IPv6 from GCE, because of this: "Connecting to Google APIs and services using external IPv6 addresses is currently not supported and will result in a destination unreachable ICMP response."

IIRC, S3 also got v6 support some time before EC2 instances could get v6 addresses, but I don't recall this kind of weird internally connectivity breakage on AWS when EC2 rolled out v6. Google must be doing something weird with their internal routing.

I think a big part of the issue is that it's just too easy to downvote something.

I wonder how it would change the situation if you had to defend/explain your downvotes.
Great, so now there is a marketplace for IPs meaning that there are people solely making money buying and selling IPs pushing the price up irregardless of usage.
> Just interesting to see where these providers are on these things

Don't look at Azure then, it's not interesting at all. It's just sad.

They NAT IPv6, and hand addresses out in blocks of 16.

No, not /16 address blocks. Sixteen at a time. Six and ten.

I wish I was kidding.
I don't think you're right. Really good players will sometimes stop taking the game seriously after building a colossal economy, then they do stuff like build 1000 t1 bombers and try and win with that. It's usually horribly inefficient, but it's definitely possible to win with the wrong unit, if your economy is much larger than the other player's.

Gansett

Ahhh, now I miss New England. They don't distribute Gannies in TX.
Currently their instance-level external IPv6 support does not have any advantages over IPv4. For example, their CDN Interconnect discount does not apply to IPv6 (see https://cloud.google.com/network-connectivity/docs/cdn-inter...).

And it's not clear whether they will charge for external IPv6 addresses.

But in any case, I'm still very happy to see that they finally took this step.
FiOS?

I've been on FiOS for almost 10 years. Every few months, I check to see if I or any other FiOS customer has IPv6. It's been on in one testing market (or two) for years, but nothing else outside that.
I got one during the crowd funding campaign and received it a few months ago.

Played with it for an hour or two. It now sits unplugged on my desk. It’s too distracting to be always on, and too limited to turn on occasionally. I’m just not sure what to do with this thing.
My ISP have at one point stated that they did not have ANY plans to provide customers with IPv6, as there was no demand. This is beyond stupid, of cause there's no demand, the average user isn't even demanding an IPv4 address. They don't know that they need one.

Claiming that they don't see a return on investment is equally silly. Most ISPs have rolled out fibre, or new equipment in the last 10 years. They could just have rolled out IPv6 when new equipment came online over the last decade.

Maybe the ISP deliberately bought equipment without IPv6 support, like we did, but by accident. Two years ago we bought new Cisco equipment, for a remote office, only to discover that there where no IPv6 support. So back to Cisco it went. Why did Cisco even bother to make network equipment that doesn't support IPv6?

Still, it's better than IBM who claims IPv6 support in their software, but haven't bothered to test it the last 7 years, so it doesn't actually work in the current versions.

And I'm sure you have things to do as well, so do a lot of people. But those that don't, have the thing we lack: time. And there's often reasons they have all that time. Often good reasons. And it's not because they're pleasant people.
Votes determine visibility. A post doesn't matter if it's not visible.

A bad vote is more harmful than a bad comment. Bad comments get sorted. A bad vote makes the front page worse.

Making votes visible makes the bad actors visible. Though I think other feedback mechanisms are better.
Just 8.8.8.8
Then it doesn't matter whether you use ipv6 or ipv4 with the private 10.0.0.0/8 space either.
I'm happy that these no-code/less-code/visual programming tools are putting the web-apps in focus again, It's changing from 'I have an idea, I need to find an mobile app developer' to 'I have an idea, I can create a prototype on web myself'.

Personally as a coder I have workflows, tool-chains developed over several years that writing a code to create a MVP is faster than learning no-code tools, also the end product is lean and stays with me.

So I haven't used these tools but tried notion for the first time yesterday to export my kindle highlights(HN comments)[1], So I can see the value in these no-code tools in automation workflows for even coders.

I’m curious why you prefer the iPad and keyboard over a laptop since adding the keyboard typically makes the iPad both bigger and more unwieldy than a laptop.

I ask because I also like the vague idea of not taking a laptop, but I’m not going to do any serious typing on a screen keyboard and adding an external keyboard makes the iPad less portable than a laptop (plus you probably need a stand and mouse as well to reach the physical usability of a laptop).
To write code is much like to instructing a person who is doing work-to-rule. That person won't do anything outside of instructions given and will stop at the very first time it can (encounter an error).

If you can cope with instructing work-to-rule workers, you can code. No extraordinary smarts required.

As of "much smarter than above average programmer", programmers in average are at IQ 115. If we take "above average" as +15 points (IQ's standard deviation) and "much smarter" as another +30 points, we end at 160 IQ points person. Four standard deviations make that person one in roughly 16 000, or sixteen thousands. I think you should know a lot of people, much more than 150 or so of average person, to know many of them.

And to offer you my experience, my brother seems not to have any problems with coding in Python. He is well into 40-s, most of his career he was at the C*O positions and right now he decided to change venues one more time.

> The lack of publicly available National Football League (NFL) data sources has been a major obstacle in the creation of modern, reproducible research in football analytics. While clean play-by-play data is available via open-source software packages in other sports (e.g. nhlscrapr for hockey; PitchF/x data in baseball; the Basketball Reference for basketball), the equivalent datasets are not freely available for researchers interested in the statistical analysis of the NFL. To solve this issue, a group of Carnegie Mellon University statistical researchers including Maksim Horowitz, Ron Yurko, and Sam Ventura, built and released nflscrapR an R package which uses an API maintained by the NFL to scrape, clean, parse, and output clean datasets at the individual play, player, game, and season levels.

Plenty. If you expect to access it from IPv4-only networks, you'll have to provide a gateway. Additionally, things like Docker interoperate very poorly with IPv6.
It's because of tipping culture. I've had bartenders ignore me because I didn't tip after getting drinks. I know it's a total douche move but when doing a pub crawl I don't always know if I'm sticking around and I really don't wanna break out the credit card and make a commitment.
Just this week I tried to turn on IPv6 for my sister’s home network and guess what…even with FTTH it’s IPv4 only. Two decades later and we still don’t have a basic feature that we knew we needed three decades ago.
Great news. Hopefully we see a increase in incentives to disclose bugs, especially 0days, to companies directly.

That is definitely going to reduce the supply of exploits to corporations like the NSO group.

I’ve been working with teams with testers and with teams completely without them. My experience is that there are always bugs and about the same amount of them. It seems like it never matters how much effort you put in. I think it’s had to be about ownership and who is going to have to wake up in the morning to fix things.

One thing that I believe that’s also left out here is that Test-driven developed code looks different than code that isn’t. All the TDD code is per definition testable but other code isn’t always testable. (Mind you, I say code here and not programs.)

I also feel like there’s a missing point in the article, which is how easy something is to test. If it’s not easy to test something or setup a test for it it will probably never happen. I think you should write systems to be easily testable since then people will do actual testing. And if you don’t test that continuously (that it is testable) you will end up in a system that is eventually harder to test. Automated tests will not happen for something that isn’t easy to test and automated tests are kind of a way to acknowledge that “well, at least this works”.
