Right. This is a big clash between the "v4 model" (as it has panned out in practice) and the "v6 model". The OG assumption of both was that there is _only one_ Network, but v4 in practice turned out to be segregated, private networks that happen to have a gateway to The Network. The original RFCs for private IPv4 networks and NAT explicitly call this change in stance out. So v6 was designed to go back to a world with only The One Network. The possibility of having a private v6 network was added much later (some time in the 2000s I think?).

This is probably why going to v6 is so confusing even for us Elite HN Readers; you don't have a private network connected to The Internet any more, The Internet directly extends to all devices. You can have a private network _in addition_ to that though.

This is actually pretty nice because it restores end-to-end connectivity, so P2P and mesh networking become easier; however, most everyone has a central firewall between their splinter of The Internet and The Greater Internet, so in practice you still need hole punching and some central services to offer hole punching duties, because hole punching works around NAT and opens a port in stateful firewalls; v6 only removes the NAT part in most instances. So in reality P2P with v6 is only slightly less messy than with v4.

This is "cheap commodity hardware"? Does this guy know what that term means or is it just fashionable thanks to Google c. 1998?

For the price of any single component in this "cheap commodity" build, one can rent on the order of 10 actually-cheap-commodity servers for a year, bandwidth and electricity included.

Also - they're paying thousands of dollars per box and they're worried about 6 W power consumption? Something must be wrong with the economics at those DCs... or they're being ripped off for carbon-offset credits or something.

Northern Ireland is still abiding by EU free movement of goods rules and EU Customs Union rules, and goods from the rest of the UK are inspected when they get to Northern Ireland.
From a trade perspective, Northern Ireland is treated as part of the EU at the moment. This allows the Irish border to remain open, as there's no feasible way of enforcing it otherwise. For some context: The European union as a whole has 137 border crossings with third countries to its east. The Irish-Northern Irish border has 275.

Philosophy is far from done; especially as it applies to every individual's understanding of the world. We're only just now starting to see the impact that a few strands of postmodernism could have on the world, and I can't imagine how interesting an application of Deleuze or Baudrillard's ideas would be to our politics.

Everybody has a philosophy they live by in the ethical, social, scientific (epistemological) etc spheres. If you haven't studied philosophy, it's very possible that there are other ideas that could better inform your thoughts and decisions, or your current ideas might be inconsistent.
I live in Vilnius and you can easily get by just by speaking English, you only really need Lithuanian (or Russian, although younger people often don't speak it) if you need to deal with the government.

It's main problem is that there is no standard for formatting source code in email, otherwise it is fine.

The web is tiresome because it requires to you to be hopping between different forums all the time, with the attend in-between distractions.

Email is simply more focused, it just requires clients which offer better code-formatting options

> But more than 36% of foreign students in Finland leave within a year of graduation, according to government figures, with most citing immigration bureaucracy, high taxation and language difficulties as their main reasons for quitting.

Seems like a token gesture then, especially considering:

> Many companies require Finnish and public sector employees must master both.

So "declaring the city English-speaking" is pointless unless the city actually implements English as an official language, providing legal and civic support for English on all official matters.

Seems like streamlining bureaucracy and reviewing the tax code would do more good, but of course it's much more involved than adjusting branding.

(I am utterly uninformed in all matters Finland, for all I know Helsinki could already have such support and I do not know it, in that case, good for them and this is effectively a good move!)

I agree. I think much of the value attributed to Virgin Galactic is on the basis of _either_ SS2 being a relatively general purpose vehicle, or the _process_ of building new vehicles having been figured out by them.

The problem is that it's obvious that neither of those are true. Specific use-case vehicles are fine if you have a process that can make you new specific vehicles, but Virgin Galactic took a decade to make SS2 and had a lot of problems along the way.

I have been experimenting with this system for months and have concluded that it is a very powerful paint brush. Powerful like steering an elephant. Not like being Superman.

The system is garbage in garbage out. So, feeding it random noise inputs will give noise results. The human factor is “prompt engineering” the inputs to try to coax the elephant in the desired direction. And, in evaluating the outputs.

Sometimes it feels like asking a child to draw something for you. I spent some time trying to get “storm clouds made of lava” but the child insisted “No, dad! Lava stays on the ground. Like THIS!” https://www.reddit.com/r/bigsleep/comments/o033x1/playing_wi...

Would be very interesting to hear from a Finn about this.

- Is the labor shortage real, or is the available labor simply too expensive for local tastes?

- The Finnish education system was held up as the most successful in the world when that was a topic a couple years ago; why can't it produce more tech talent?

- Does the country experience a significant brain drain of (English-speaking) local engineers?

- Given the circumstances, why not try to use more remote labor (e.g. in EU countries, within the same time zone) rather than trying to move people to Helsinki?

Hi, I'm Philipp. I'm just about to finish my Master’s degree in Computer Science at RWTH Aachen in Germany. There I'm specializing in Data Science and Machine Learning. Since last year I've also been doing a lot of Web Development, which, like Data Science, is a lot of fun for me. For example, I created my own personal website with React. I am looking for a company where I can write my Master's thesis. However, I can also imagine doing a part-time job or a full-time internship.
It's fascinating to me to see cities do things unilaterally like this (or maybe through some other mechanism that allows it) in order to be competitive and/or attract capital.

But how easy/hard is it to immigrate to Finland, or Helsinki in general? You also have to attract people to your city who use the language, etc.
Great, another piece of shit gonna be obsolete in a few years.
I am skeptical of solar domes.

While the facility cost of couse has all the sense, indoor agriculture does not need that much water to begin with.

And as every large thing around, it will still be a substantial construction cost.

While it surely beats every other desal method on energy efficiency per unit of space (covering an equal size of land with solar panels, and then using electricity for RO will be less efficient,) other costs are still there.
Mentoring – Students go to the head of the class
Why mentoring?
Mentoring can open doors, direct us to the right door, and often mentoring will help us see doors waiting for us to walk through them.
Our careers have stages: In the beginning, we are trying to determine where we belong; In the middle, we are trying to elevate ourselves in our professions; and as we look towards retirement, there is often a desire to share knowledge and create our own legacy.
Because each stage brings with it its own unique challenges and experiences, having mentors to help us through is more than appropriate, for many, it’s necessary. In this article, our focus is on students and the first formative professional relationship most will have.
For those looking for an internship/mentoring relationship, a word of caution as we proceed, not everyone was meant to be a mentor. Mentoring is a commitment both in time and energy, and for some they are not willing or able to make it. For others, imparting knowledge is not always easily accomplished through direct teaching and guiding.
Don’t take it personally if someone does not want to be your mentor.
Move on and continue your search. It may take knocking on more than a few doors to find the right person. And when you do, they will be elated that you want to work with them. Mentoring is by far one of the biggest professional compliments; it signifies your work has had meaning and others want you to share your wisdom and knowledge.

Philosophy encompasses much more than the personal subset. Mark and Hegel dealt with the forces of history, for example. Wittgenstein with how language frames the boundaries of knowledge. Orthodoxy is a comforting narrowing of options. The very opposite of true philosophical enquiry.

The EU insisted on Apple paying billions to the irish government that the irish government fought not to get. Irish-Dutch sandwich is a term designating the practice of using a tax loophole that lets big corporations avoid paying taxes.

Honestly, I'm not sure that the time to prove Ireland tax heaven will be that tough. Of course, the EU does not designate Ireland as a tax heaven, but you should have to keep in mind that Ireland is a member state of the EU and the tax heaven list is approved with unanimous vote which might be a cause for a conflict of interests.
This decision seems rooted in a) homophobia and b) a desire to increase the birth rate.
These photos are of stunning quality. I'm not sure I've seen any 19th century photos that come close, even with retouching and postprocessing. But also the lighting is incredible. Like it looks more like something associated with a more modern (ie post-WWII) technique.

I didn't see any mention of the provenance of these photos. Anyone know?
I agree (also from a career in embedded). People forget that before Bluetooth Low Energy and everyone walking around with cheap, sophisticated computers in their pockets, putting an easily navigable menu on a machine that didn't otherwise need one was expensive. If your machine didn't need a keypad or a display in normal operation, you simply wouldn't have one. Maybe you'd show error codes by blinking an LED in a certain pattern. These days, it's cheap to have an available BLE connection to a cell phone that can provide a nice text or graphical control screen to tell you everything you need to know about the machine.

A lot of the cost is in the UI and that gets offloaded to the the user's phone.

The offense wasn't security related. It was not providing clear enough information regarding how Whatsapp user data is used in conjunction with other Facebook products.

Potentially useful, since I've used proxies before in a different manner.

However what I'm more inclined to do is simply compile up a version of git from source, ensure it includes the HTTPS transport, and links against an appropriate TLS/SSL library. I used to build it from source years ago (on a different platform).

The git protocol approach was simply to avoid that hassle, as used correctly it is safe enough.
> Also, to your 3.5% loss / 1000km line loss add in the transformation losses.

Which is going to be a fixed amount regardless of distance? While I don’t have the numbers, I would expect HVDC to be a dead end already if it made a difference to my conclusion.

> 20k km? Such a curious number, half the world's circumference, that I suspect you mean to propose to wrap the world in power lines to get power at midnight from noon elsewhere

Indeed, though this is likely excessive: summer/winter is significantly harder for storage to deal with — and hence the mostly likely to be solved with transmission — than day/night, given most people sleep at night but nobody hibernates though winter.

> But then there's the issue that you won't connect every city to every generating site, but have a hub-spoke model (like ethernet)

> When the Bedouins of Algeria are blowing up the electricity needed in Japan, will the EU send storm troopers to punish the locals?

While true, I’m not even going to try to play at global geopolitics; all I can say is that while deserts are a good place for PV, and while PV is the best thing I (being neither a biologist nor a geologist) know what to do with a dessert, the land area required for PV is low enough that even the UK — entirely north of the US-Canadian border — would be able to power itself in winter with no transmission and just a day/night storage system using 1% of its land area [0], so tiling the entire Sahara is unlikely: The same equations say that even if we electrify all world energy consumption, Algeria alone could supply everyone 6 times over, but you’d only do a global grid like this precisely if you didn’t want the huge storage system I’m implicitly adding to worsen the performance of my opinion and give your criticism the best possible chance.

[0] illumination = (cos(51 north + plus axial tilt) / π) * 1kW/m^2 ~= 87 W/m^2; efficiency = 20% ~> 17.5 W/m^2; 35 GW / (17.5 W/m^2) ~= 2000 km^2; U.K. land area ~= 242,495 km^2.

I think this is a bad idea, but economics beats aesthetics and someone would need to run the numbers that I don’t have to say which of storage and transmission is actually better. Perhaps the minima for the UK is PV in Algeria and HVDC, perhaps it is local x*PV + y*wind + z* batteries. It probably varies from any one country to the next.
Anecdotally, every Finn I've met speaks pretty much perfect English.

I studied philosophy about ~7~ 9 years ago (edit: pandemic time).

Similar to a lot of other commentators here I use it every day, and for everything.

An general apology of philosophy would be something like:

> Philosophy is the pursuit of the truth. That pursuit, and the development of mental tools and models to reach it, ends up spilling out into, and enriching, every other aspect of human thought and experience. Whether you end up questioning if there is any such truth (epistemology), attempting to determine a moral truth (ethics), or working out models of correct/truthful reasoning (logic), you end up building up a robust toolset and understanding of being human. Even the schools of thought that hold there isn’t an absolute truth have a little problem in that _that_ is a truth they are stating. The point being, if you are to be human, then you must act on things being more or less true (did that person do that thing? On a more fundamental level, does that chair exist? On an abstract level, does the money in your bank account exist?). If you accept that being able to evaluate the truth of things is fundamental to operating as a human, then philosophy is a necessary undertaking that everyone practices to some extent. It is, after all, just the love of wisdom.

A few specific examples of how it has been _useful_ to me and my career are:

1) Using my studies of logic to ground my understanding of programming languages - everything boils down to to binary, see “The Mathematical Analysis of Logic” or “The Laws of Thought”

2) Applying abstract mental models directly to code (see Plato’s theory of the forms and object oriented programming)

3) Understanding ethical issues with anything I do and being able to articulate them to others so that we can move forward on a decision not based on just everyone’s feelings.

4) Seeing things from the other side and arguing people to my own by showing them inconsistencies in their arguments - or by changing my own mind by discovering my own inconsistencies

And so on and so on.

As for the final complaint about who said what being an issue - naming is useful. It’s important to identify the source of an idea if you’re going to discuss it with others and share common frameworks (see my references to Plato and Boole above). Beyond that - I don’t know much, or care, about their personal lives.

* Note: idk about the whole student debt to study philosophy thing though. There are huge advantages to taking it while in university (discussion with peers, context from professors, immersion in thought), but I can’t recommend the experience of student debt for a degree with such a low signal (for employment) and such a low barrier to entry (I.e. you can do this outside of the university as well). Ultimately I did well, but only because the Seattle barista scene was too competitive and I had to find a fallback career.

I recently went through my bookmarks (900+, oldest bookmark from 9 years ago) and about 20% of the links still worked (2xx status code) while only half of those actually had the same content as the one I bookmarked.

So yeah, if you bookmark X and return in 5 years time, it's very unlikely to still be there. The web is suffering from huge bitrot scenarios right now with no fixes in sight so far. I personally started backing up content locally with `wget --mirror $URL` to prevent this for myself.
