And how do the Crown Jewels give any level of wealth to the common person of the UK?

Do the Crown Jewels produce billions of dollars daily that gets handed out to each citizen?

Or was it actually the British creating ships, goods, establishing trading posts, furthering science and creating the newest machinery etc... that created their wealth? (And still creates it to this day)
> So, I don’t use IPv6 to connect among computers in my home network; since I also get one IPv4 address from my ISP, I simply use IPv4 NAT so that the addresses in my home network are easily remembered and do not change.

Why do you need NAT at all? You can just use IPv4 to communicate among hosts in the network, and use IPv6 for them to communicate with the world. Nothing about IPv6 forbids the existence of IPv4.
My mom believed a ton of crazy conspiracies before Facebook. Just like a ton of people in her generation did. No one was surprised when she continued doing that on the internet.

Alternative medicine, aliens, JFK, secret gov technology etc etc was all super popular on TV, Hollywood movies, and in best selling books growing up in the 80s/90s.

> From a four dimensional perspective—which is the correct one, let’s not forget—the distance between a photon’s emission and absorption event is always zero.

That would require the emission and absorption events location in the space to be the same would it not? Or do you mean that a photon does not experience time, so relative to the photon it simply travel instantaneously from emitting coordinate to absorption coordinate?

> Every time my router resets, all of the IPv6 addresses in my home network change.

Isn't this solved by using dynamic dns updates?

I've been running a native ipv6 home network for a few years and have not run into any issues. I access my servers by their hostnames.
Linux's net/ipv4 is 2.7MiB of code, net/ipv6 is 1.7MiB.
In Boston and NYC there are also programs to offer free bikesharing if you're low income.
This seems very much like a disingenuous what-if - not a desire to actually seek an answer, but an attempt to convince people into believing what they do by posting a link to a very biased site.
- A reminder that Ethernet doesn't do broadcast, only multicast. (And L2 switching is broken by design anyway, but that's a story of hysterical raisins for another day)

- network names have been steadily been getting better with mDNS and related tech

- SSDP (the tech underlying UPNP) already covers IPv6, there's no need to add new one (your bigger possible issue is incomplete implementation on v6 side on CPEs)

- home router/CPE vendors are converging on "standard v6 default firewall" ruleset (it's actually something I encountered in random bought AP/router combos from random electronics store, not something techie-oriented). It establishes basic filtering that resembles what people think they get from NAT, and couples well with UPNP's support for IPv6. This also includes proper handling of ICMPv6

- subnetting is a problem, yes. Especially due to SLAAC vs DHCPv6 issues in some OSes.

It's not all nice, but it's getting there.
There are lots of things that are different from reality, the questions is why so many of them chose that particular way to be unrealistic.
> Should I support IPv6 on my server?

> You can if you want, but despite what some people will claim, it probably won’t make much difference.

This apathy is exactly why adoption is slow. For all its faults Google needs to be commended for their commitment to IPv6. They are the only large email provider I see sending and receiving email using IPv6 even though "it probably won’t make much difference"
Your great and nuanced answer is being downvoted. Shows how insane some of these bubbles are.

They can't face the facts and want to hide their ego behind simple cliche statements that don't capture even 1% of the reality of history.
To me it means I think of a workflow which would make things smoother for me, I make it so I can do that. But it takes tinkering.

I see something nice someone is using or has done. Then I can copy their config, but that's their personal config and I want something slightly different. That takes tinkering.

OSX is basically: Use it as designed. And it's designed for what most people want, but if you want to push the boundaries of that you are going to have a frustrating experience.
> do what Apple/Mozilla/Microsoft did when they turned their backs on the w3c and formed WHATWG

You mean when they gave Google the power to add whatever they want to the standards and get the hate of web developers for "being the new IE" whenever they refuse to implement Google's API of the day?

Not sure I'd want that infinitely growing scope for compilers I use for production systems.
> These are all solvable issues, but they are huge ergonomic downsides that are now pushed on local network admins to the point that for them it's still much easier to just disable IPv6 rather than learning about all these small issues and working around them.

So that's me in a nutshell. I've read various things on IPv6 over the years, and I think I might even have the O'Reilly book laying around somewhere. I understand some of the basics, but I don't really "get" IPv6. I'm still at a bit of a loss on how my local network should be configured, and what services are needed for what.

Though I'm really at a loss as far as network security and firewalls go. I've been setting up firewalls with NAT for 20 years, but I'm still not sure how its all going to work with IPv6. In the mean time, I just disable all IPv6 stuff on the firewall machines, and try not to worry about it.

In the age of constant probes, a simple mistake can compromise our entire network, which sounds... unpleasant.

I suppose I'll just keep putting off learning about IPv6 until we get to the point where I can't order a cloud instance from our provider that comes with an IPv4 address.
Why is this PCIe Card RADIOACTIVE? [video]
Nope. Some rights require active resources to infringe upon. If I'm worshipping Satan it takes 0 active effort to protect me from government (ignoring things like protecting me from neighbours, talking government only).

It takes active effort for the government to infringe in this case. It's actually quite tiresome, requiring people to round up the satanists, and root them out. Oppression can be pretty expensive.

Then you have things like safety, security, and prosperity. I share the view that these things aren't rights. I still view things like free speech and exercise of religion as "rights", and not things like food. That doesn't make them unimportant or mean the government shouldn't try to stop people from dying. Why does something have to be a right for the government to get involved. Why water down the concept of rights, by making them about access to resources? Using government isn't a two step process, where first something must be classified as a right, then the government can act.

The role of government in these cases is very different from the first example. There they simply needed to not use resources for oppression (it's not always THAT simple, but some things really do require active effort). Now they need to ensure everyone is getting adequate resources. It's fundamentally a different concept.

> You only get to exercise the right to free speech if everyone else knows there are consequences for disrupting it. (Fines, imprisonment, etc)... you only have that freedom so long as someone more powerful than you doesn't feel like taking it from you.

You're describing the government protecting you from a third party, which is not usually how first amendment laws are used in the USA (USA is just an example here). So no, active resources aren't necessarily needed to protect free speech infringement from government. Not in the same way as with resource allocation. Yeah, courts exist, but the health of a court system is not necessarily related to resources allocated. You could have a really well funded court that rubber stamps everything.

I actually think there's an interesting conversation here, regarding trade-offs between freedom/rights and prosperity/health. You could live in a totally free society with no food and health care, but what would be the point? Or you could live in an oppressive state, devoid of human dignity, but be perfectly healthy and safe. Maybe rights and freedom are a bit overrated.

I like how Phoenix had the stones to replace webpack after all the additional support requests it was bringing in. I've been using esbuild with 1.6.0-dev and it is a lot more ergonomic for the end user dev - https://sergiotapia.com/phoenix-160-liveview-esbuild-tailwin...

What has me really excited was that I was looking at Fly.io to create a global mesh of servers for a liveview app so people can connect to whatever is closest, and guess who just joined Fly.io's team? Chris! I think this is going to be a very productive stack that will get you far far ahead of the competition once you learn it's patterns.

You shouldn't remember numeric addresses anyway, and we had reasonable ways to deal with that for decades now. It's really just human unwillingness (ok, and maybe a bit of BSD Sockets shitshow, but as much as I hate them for keeping networking broken it's not their fault this time).

> The chosen one then gets to feel superior because he both has the intellectual, moral and financial upper hand while he simultaneously gets to chastise the lazy, stupid, poor hobo. It is so easy to rebrand this process as "personal responsibility".

Regardless of whether companies have their own cutoff point, competition amongst people will create a natural cutoff point.

If there are a limited number of jobs, people will have to compete for those jobs. Sought after jobs will attract more people and have fiercer competition. More intelligent people will generally outcompete less intelligent people for these jobs, and so a natural IQ cutoff will form.
It’s less complex in many ways for machines but the long addresses make it unwieldy for human beings.
> "They still rely too much on independent researchers in the field to expose these," said Tapsell. "It's not our job to do this – it's the job of the big companies in Silicon Valley."

Disagreed. It is our job, individually, to decide what is true or right. To turn that over to anyone else is an abnegation of integrity that undermines the rest of our existence.
I'm literally on Arch using NetworKManager, when creating a new connection it defaults to Stable Privacy in the dropdown, but EUI64 is listed first in the dropdown itself. So, since you didn't actually state which one to use, now what? Point being: don't be condescending claiming "outdated OS", IPv6 is a minefield of footguns and there are many of them just like this choice.
...so you're saying your mom and cousin are doing it, but it's a bad thing that people shouldn't do?

Almost like someone was making a joke, you mean?
Chris: how do you feel about what's needed to make Phoenix as "core" of a technology like other similar projects like Django or Rails? The latter are used by huge companies, which have vested interest in keeping these technologies around and evolving. Is it corporate sponsorship from companies using Phoenix? Note, I've used Phoenix/Elixir as the core technology in the last of the 3 companies I've been in.

That's a matter of developer discipline and foresight. I've be managing a Rails project since late 2011 (that's my longest run so far), usually adding a few features per year and fixing bugs, mostly alone or with another developer. If I put too much magic into the code I'd spend much of my time figuring out what I did months ago. Instead I can usually read my code from 2011 / 2012 and understand what it does. The puzzling exceptions are not so exceptional: I'm having the same experiences with the other code bases I'm working on (Python, Elixir.)

So in doubt no metaprogramming. Example: I never wrote a macro in a real world Elixir project.

There are three ingredients in great work: natural ability, practice, and effort . To do the best work you need all three: you need great natural ability and to have practiced a lot and to be trying very hard . The most basic level of which is simply to feel you should be working without anyone telling you to .

Or we could just have open standards like the web originally was and mostly still is. You can use the gmail web app from a wide range of browsers. Even Lynx in the console...It is not like you have to access a separate gmail web page for each browser you use. I don't get why people think web apps would need to lead to proprietary browser dependence. Not if they are coded for
open standards, like HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc.

Yup. Maybe it’s that the IRL self is nothing more than one ended up that everyone can’t care less about.

There has to be something to be argued with respect to human model of consciousness, cognition, and self identity about almost complete lack of male avatars in actual VR scene.

It can’t be like “they’re all young _men_ so they want cute anime”. Maybe it’s not just about VR, or anime, but the concept of masculine dude just seem to disperse and disappear once you stop subjecting yourself to the baseline reality.

Coming out of one of those 996 companies, I would say that most of my working time are wasted.

I would do almost nothing in the moring. I did most of my work in the afternoon. In the evening I just pretended to be working.

Forcing a real 7.5h day would not hurt most companies. But it would hurt the ego of middle managers, who want to prove that their teams are trying their best by working long hours.
I think that is a little unfair. The tech companies still do some stuff that provides value to people and usually for free. Additionally, grandma isn't going to be rooting phones and installing toolchains and managing their own hardware and OS. Making tech trivial to use and "just work" at scale is hard. Doing it all for free is even harder.
People are saying it's purely human driver error.. perhaps. But the situation often occurs where you are driving past crosswalks with people on the side waiting. If one were to suddenly step out just before you passed you would hit them. That wouldn't be on the driver it would be on the pedestrian.

Also, say an observant driver should have been able to tell that the Paralympian intended to walk. So it's human driver fault right? But maybe even then not entirely.. say the self driving system acts skittish way too often. Then it conditions the human drivers to be fed up with its automatic skittishness and just punch the proceed button routinely when it gets to intersections with pedestrians on the side.

Just putting this out there because I see no one suggesting the pedestrian could be to blame or recognizing the subtleties of the shared responsibility of human and self driving system.

As a cyclist, I believe that bike lanes do induce demand, but there are some important differences.

A single road can attract travels which begin or end far away from the road. So its effect is felt on a larger territory and further away. A road needs only few exits to be connected to other roads.

Bike lanes are more like capillary network than arteries. A single bike lane is almost useless, because it can serve only travels which begin and end in a narrow strip around the lane (maybe a block away). Two bike lanes which are not connected will be used much less than two connected lanes. Even a single discontinuity of the network can make bike travel unfeasible.

So rather than talking about lanes, we should talk about lane networks and their density. And up until certain density the network won't be used much. Only after reaching that threshold we can talk about effects it may have on city development. Similarly, a car road will not generate induced demand nor attract much traffic if it is missing a bridge across the river.

Let say a bike lane attracts traffic if the starting point and the destination are within w/2 from the lane. Let's assume uniform distribution of potential starting and destination points. Then in a city area A, a bike lane of length L will attract only Lw/A potential commutes (within a strip around the lane). There are two important observations to be made: 1) the induced demand is proportional to the length of the network L, 2) parameter w is probably small, likely ~ 200m, so 1 km of a bike lane will have a smaller and more local effect than 1 km of the road. To cover 1 km² of urban area, the well connected network would have to be a grid with the total density of bike lanes ~ 10 km / km².
Earth has a super weak magnetic field (that can change in the future). With a stronger field, apples could fall upwards, sideways or just suspend in the air. Can an apple tree even grow in such conditions is another question.
While the comment says "What if", the site linked is more "All physics is wrong, this is how it is" and presents some model that has been disproven by evidence over and over. I think crank physics isn't worth discussing when presented in that fashion.
There may have been some shenanigans, of course, but some of the claims I heard came from misunderstanding the hospital classifications.

Hospitals got economic relief from Covid because they couldn't take in other patients for fear of the contagiousness of Covid. So they got "credit" for "Covid patients" for financial reimbursement claim purposes.

But that wasn't the "cause of death" on the death certificate. The COD was listed as whatever it was.

There looked to be some deliberate attempt to conflate these assignments in the minds of people by some bad actors last year.

But again, that's not saying that it didn't happen. But when it was being talked about last year it seemed like it was being used for political purposes.
No pie for you. Have the smarts to just concede when you've been comprehensively out-argued; you'd look so much less of a fool that way.
Sensible working hours and good productivity require good management. Working extended hours like "996" is just brute-forcing results.

You need teams with clear objectives and project plans so employees are able focus on a task without getting side-tracked due to too many responsibilities or bad planning.

This shouldn't mean that agency or creativity is removed, it's simply about providing the right environment for people to work on complex problems.

> (And L2 switching is broken by design anyway, but that's a story of hysterical raisins for another day)

absolutely, but in ipv4, the breakage has the effect of some niche-applications like TV streaming to client-machines breaking whereas in ipv6 it has the effect of the whole network breaking.

The applications broken in v4 are so niche that most people won't notice.

>SSDP (the tech underlying UPNP) already covers IPv6, there's no need to add new one

yes, but it's very badly supported still. I have not seen this work in any home-network yet, be it because of broken OSes, broken applications or broken router software.

>This also includes proper handling of ICMPv6

You're making me hopeful. Back when I was setting things up in 2014, the situation was a minefield of brokenness, sometimes even with UI showing huge warnings about my explicit allow-ICMP-rule I had to add after the default was to block all ICMP.
One more “Apple is an epic fail” post?

“Surpassed Facebook and Google” — are you kidding me? I’m quite upset about the recently announced on device scanning, but the wording of the title here is just nonsensical. Apple would have to do something like the CSAM implementation a thousand times or more to be close to the abuses by Facebook and Google. You have no clue if you’re putting Facebook and Google ahead of Apple on privacy and user trust.
