Don't think in terms of addresses. In a hierarchically-allocated and aggregated space like IP addresses, there's a massive difference between 64 bits of address space and 2^64 usable addresses.

By the time you've gone through six levels of allocations (IANA -> RIR -> ISP -> Customer -> Network -> Device) the vast majority of the total address space will be unused -- or rather: used for the purpose of aggregation, but not used for end machines. A 64-bit address space might only reasonably be able to handle something like 2^40-2^48 devices in total, which isn't that much more than we already have today.

> Unless you're expecting consumers to start having ~2^64 devices

You'd definitely need something longer than 64 bits long, long before this point.
> Why didn't the US State Department see the failure of the fledgling and corrupt democratic Afghanistan government?

They almost certainly did, but they serve the foreign policy directives of the executive-at-the-time.

> The US should have pulled out 10 years ago,

Of course, but there's nearly no upside to breaking this status quo. It's all downside. Biden will take this hit because it looks embarrassing to withdraw and leave people worse off than when we found them. I agree with you: his predecessors should have done it.
The Afghans want to live under sharia. They just want to do with money like the Saudis.

What would a good solution to that even look like? Giving every mid-sized company it's own PI block would massively bloat the routing table so that's not going to happen. The solution space that's left basically comes down to some form of NAT/NPT or multi-home support at the endpoints. The IETF's preferred solution is the latter which seems reasonable to me.
Depends.

I guess I should’t have been so optimistic :)

Title should be updated to "Bottled water is 1400–3500..." based off "Highlights" section of the actual study that cosmotic linked to. I've learned firsthand that it's counterproductive to only quote the high-end of the range. Comes off as disingenuous.
I use to work for an Indian company in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The language there is Marathi. So the employees used Marathi words for some programming terms e.g. "palala" for "ran" or "palav" for "run it" i.e. "program palala/palav" or "program adakla" for "program is stuck", or if the application release is given go ahead by the QA teams, then "yogya" for OK :) And if there was a bug, then the engineers/QA teams used the sentence "barobar naahiye" i.e. it is not correct. The verbatim word for "bug" was not used. The verbatim word for "bug" in Marathi language would be "kidaa" or "paakhroo" :)
Well I got the impression that US is not taking them to US territories not because they don't want to go there, rather because US isn't able to make arrangements to do so in time.

Legislation won’t fix that. It’s going to take leadership change to make Apple really see 3rd party devs and support them.

The legislators forcing open the App Store though that could be interesting.
Interesting to see this. It sounds like they're not on AWS, given that they mentioned that having 1000 instances for their production environment made them one of the bigger deployments on their hosting provider.

If not for the troubles they experienced with their hosting provider and managing deployments / cutting over traffic, it possibly could have been the cheaper option to just keep horizontally scaling vs putting in the time to investigate these issues. I'd also love to see some actual latency graphs, what's the P90 like at 25% CPU usage with a simple Gunicorn / gevent setup?
Have they considered raising VC?

at 60hz, an electro phoretic display (EPD) or eink will start to degrade very rapidly and consume more power than even a bright OLED panel will.

Eink is efficient only when you are NOT refreshing the screen constantly as it persists the last image drawn to screen, but if you wanna do any kind of scrolling, zooming etc, just use another kind of display tech.
Note the NYT's total absence of criticism of Biden for this disaster. Under a Trump leadership the headlines would primarily have been of the style, "As Trump team struggles to do anything competent, Afghanistan crumbles." Whereas in this case, the headlines are kept mostly factual. "President Ghani Flees as Insurgents Enter Capital." (NYT is not the article at hand but is relevant in its coverage of such stories for its cultural influence.)

Don't mean to politicize it necessarily, but there's been some discussion here recently about editorialization, thinking for one's own when reading the news, and processing information from different perspectives to identify and compensate for biases.

This is a really good opportunity to observe how it works.
Yeah, not much more power than gov'ts have. Controlling the flow of information is pretty banal.

> Not that odd, for every Makenzie scott there 100, 1000?, billionaires that aren’t nearly as generous, who hold onto their wealth that the passes to heirs

There are about 2750 billionaires in the world, 210 of whom have pledged to give away at least half their wealth to charitable causes, so about 12 billionaires who aren't as generous for every Makenzie Scott (assuming that billionaires can't be generous if they haven't signed the giving pledge).
She earned her half only in a narrow legal sense. No one would seriously assign more than \epsilon "real" credit for her contributions.
Thank you for writing all of this. I think undying optimism was okay when you really couldn't do that much harm with your terrible decisions based on false optimism. That's no longer the case. I also think, practically speaking, unfounded optimism will be the reason we fail to address Climate Change. It's time for realism now.
You assume new entrants or smaller entities would have a fighting chance in this scenario. They would not.

The incumbents would become king makers. They would decide which services would be allowed on the IPv4 Internet, which would be the only Internet, and which services would be allowed to prosper.

The incumbents would either acquire all successful startups and smaller companies or clone their services.

New entrants would wither on the wine on this obscure IPv6-only network that hardly anybody knows about or is able to access.

This would also kill off IPv6 completely. The incumbents would have a collective interest in maintaining and propping up their position. IPv6 would be a threat to this, so it would be given the axe.

This isn’t some far out fantasy either. This is how mobile phone services worked during the SMS era before the Internet was a thing.

While that might be true, that's kind of saying that if I go around breaking windows, I'm helping the economy as people are going to go out and spend money to buy new windows. Our society produces a limited amount of goods and services, and any allocation to one project means we have a little bit less for everything else. Whether the beneficiary is American or not isn't really relevant as it doesn't change the end result that everyone else has to tighten their belts to make room for the war.

This is not a very intellectually honest comment. What about Saudi Arabia? What about women and girls there? Why raise issue about women rights in Afghanistan but be silent about Saudi Arabia, Emirates, etc. For god sake they are going to host World Cup.
Someone that identifies as a intersectional, cisgender millennial with generalized anxiety disorder must be remarkably narcissistic. Anyway, I doubt the Chinese intelligence agencies are spending significant time virtue signaling internally and externally about identity politics. Unity will beat division… Maybe the CIA will move on from its old mission of foreign intelligence to a more important mission like removing sexism from the Spanish language.

There are many reasons why the mistakes happened again and again and can not be fixed. Mainly human cognition defects that confuse beliefs driven by spiritual satisfaction with solid facts. The deep root cause can not be addressed so they will make the same mistake again.

If somebody want give some advice that can prevent the next 2-trillion dollar mistake here in HN what will happen? The advice will be down voted heavily and maybe it will been seen as a bot from repressive regime. So most of people know the ground truth but also understand this collective bias choose keep silent.

In machine learning the trainer want to select the data from different sources to avoid over fitting. In real world there's no role acting as a god to feed different types of data. The human brain train their own neural networks. The consequence is people select the data that reinforce their existing belief because of impact from million of years evolution, even ignore the facts that can not add up. (Does any body suspect something wrong with all our perception due Taliban take control of power so quickly, I ask HNers think about it for intellectual challenge, not about or beyond politics )

I don't know. Getting out of Afghanistan is kind of a bipartisan issue. I am conservative leaning and I side with Biden on this. In effect he executed the Trump plan and I don't think Trump would have done any better.

I think Biden is a one term president but not for exiting Afghanistan, unless it becomes again the host for the sponsors of a new major terrorist attack on the US. And it is not clear to me that this is something the Talibans are really contemplating.

I think people are surprised by the speed of the outcome, not by the outcome.
It’s easy to give away money you didn’t do anything to earn. I’m all for it however, society needs all the help it can get and I love the places she’s giving money to.
OMG! corrupt corrupt corrupt ! I can't believe how many times the US supported local governments have been accused of being corrupt!

Kuomintang' China, South Korea, South Vietnam, Iraq, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. You name it! Every single local government supported by the U.S. was and is being accused of being corrupt. You know what? They are all corrupt judged by the western standard. Corruption is the norm in the countries need U.S. support. If, for God's sake, they can build a government which is not corrupt (like a consituational republic???), what kind of society would that be? Why would they even need U.S. support in the first place?

And you know what? Corruption is not a choice of the central government. It is not like the central government can choose being corrupt or not. It is a reflection of the society it is in.

It is just shameful that because of this extremely naive accusation, the U.S. government made countless foreign police mistakes.
Sky Computing, the Next Era After Cloud Computing
I got blind sided by an argument when visiting a friend recently because I carry a reusable water bottle with me whenever I leave home for more than a few hours whereas he brings throwaway water bottles. At one point he gestures to my bottled water and asked "does that make you feel good about yourself ?" implying I am virtue signaling.

I explained that I saw a documentary ~10 years ago where the claim was if you can do one thing for the environment, please stop purchasing bottled water. It seemed like an easy request, so why not.

I then rhetorically asked him if he "felt good" about himself because he doesn't just throw his trash out the car window, which is what we city kids (and adults) used to do in the early 80s. "No you don't do it and you don't think about it, right ? It's the same with my water bottle. I don't lecture anyone, and I honestly didn't think once about what he or others are doing."

Culture changes many times for the better. It's odd though how some people are the last to get the memo despite similar demographics.

I disagree on that.

USA accused Taliban of sheltering Bin Laden, and invaded afghanistan because Taliban was the government.

Now USA is leaving, and Taliban is again the government... to me this feels more like USA invaded, occupied for 20 years with the help of a puppet government, and now Afghanistan as it was before the invasion, won.

This isn't just a insurgency winning or terrorism, USA litearlly invaded a country, tried to conquer it, and failed, it is a country vs country war and USA lost.

There are many paradigms. Rule-based languages like OPS5. Multiparadigm-languages like Common Lisp (imperative, functional, object-oriented, meta-programming, ...). Relational languages. Visual languages (Labview). Data-flow languages. ... more...

TRS looks like it is a different paradigm. The system takes a term and rewrites it based on a rule set. In some ways this is similar to rule-based systems, but those tend to manipulate not terms but facts in a database of facts.

also, the problem isn't pocket listings per se, but artificial demand induced by the rise-at-all-costs policies of (state and federal) governments and the cartel-like action of the MLS's, combined with long-lasting political pressure to limit housing growth. pocket listings are a tiny additional complication, like a bruise next to a bullet wound. it's nothing next to the real problems we face around real estate and housing.

I preordered the new Remarkable and ended up having to re-gift it

Tablets used to suck, doubly so when using them with pens. The screens were low res, low brightness, they were slow to respond to pen strokes, battery life sucked, I could go on.

So e-ink digital notebooks made a ton of sense. They solved a lot of these issues in exchange for some limiting general utility.

-

Now fast forward to 2021 and a $300 iPad has one of the fastest responding pens in the industry, the screen is bright enough for daylight, it comfortably does a full day of work without charging...

It's an amazing piece of tech with huge amounts of utility, incredible drawing and plotting apps.

I feel like that muddies the waters for digital notebooks.

I know it used to be taboo to say that ("Tablets are tablets and eReaders are eReaders!!!") but I don't know anymore.

If you're someone who will tinker with your Remarkable (or PineNote), I seriously recommend trying an iPad.

The Remarkable still wins for distraction-free work in stock form, but if you're one to tinker for utility, the utility is just there with the iPad, and doesn't sacrifice that much in the writing department
Apache Maven 3.8.2 Released
You were autoscaling a single threaded process. You had 1000 connections coming in and scaling 1000 workers for those connections. Everything was filtered through gunicorn and nginx, which just adds additional latencies and complexity, for no real benefit.

What I'm talking about is just pointing at something like AppEngine, Cloud Functions, etc... (or whatever solution AWS has that is similar) and being done with it. I'm talking about not running your own infrastructure, at all. Let AWS and Google be your devops so that you can focus on building features.

Parent commenter wasn't saying that CG NAT costs could be avoided entirely. Deploying IPv6 gets Netflix, YouTube, Facebook and other popular traffic to connect directly. That means less racks of CG NAT.
To be honest the article does realize this, first blaming it on the poor hindsight from original developer (co-founder) and in the conclusion about maybe rewriting the whole thing.

It seemed to be all about how to extract the most performance from the lemon they had to deal with.

I found the linked reference really informative too: https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2020/03/07/costly/
> You’d think if she was promoting herself she’d hand them a list.

Based on the headline and content of the article, that’s clearly not true.

I suppose it’s just a coincidence that a gushing love letter to a billionaire just showed up in Bloomberg. Maybe it’s actually newsworthy that I should personally like this obscenely rich person.
Speaking also as independent (and not a Biden supporter), this is one of the few statements Biden has made that I agree with. I find it incredibly refreshing to see that for once we didn't seek to delay inevitable disaster at the huge cost of blood and treasure for political expediency.

Looks cheaper than remarkable. For me (UK) it is £399 + £99 for a pen (!) which is in fact a consumable. If I want a book-cover type thing, that’s another £99. And it’s GBP not USD. So that’s probably altogether about 50% cheaper?

I love the idea of remarkable, but cant justify £600 spend on a better notebook.

Something not often mentioned in the context of a carbon tax - it needs to be taxed at extraction, not consumption. The problem isn't burning petroleum as such - the problem is where it comes from. We will go carbon-neutral much more quickly if the economy is incentivized to produce "green oil". And if it's still being dug up, it doesn't matter how you tax consumption, someone's getting that oil and burning it, possibly for cheaper than they were before.

Unfortunately, the top 5 oil producing companies are based in Saudi Arabia, Russia, Kuwait, Iran, and China respectively. It's going to be a challenge to persuade them all to stop digging.
I'm optimistic... That a complete reorganization of our economy and society that leads to happiness and ecological stability is possible.
