Wave G (NOT Wave's coax-based DOCSIS that they bought years ago) offers/offered IPv6 via PD, lots of documentation for it around the internet: https://gist.github.com/dmtucker/cf3f241cf002367825633c988ff... (this isn't me).

I haven't been a Wave G customer in a number of years, but I don't anticipate it's changed since ~2018
No this is a good thing. Kids develop at different ages and being around kids their age build up confidence. If they mixed classes too much then the older kids would dominate everything and the younger kids would learn to just shut up.

Especially with girls it’s important for kids to learn self esteem and agency, and they can’t do that when bigger, stronger, smarter and faster older kids are dominating everything in the classroom.

I'm 29 and struggle with attention, procrastination, brain fog, and depression. I have since I was 12. It's only lately that I'm realizing that it's almost certainly connected to my usage of internet forums/stimulation (SA, 4chan, Gamefaqs, stumbleupon, etc.) which started right around that same time.

There's something wrong with me and there really are no other explanations than my compulsive internet usage.
My FB feed is lousy with these sorts of things. My family & friends seem to enjoy answering questions like "What was the first concert you attended?" I don't think it's for advertising purposes because I have not noticed any improvement in the accuracy of targeted ads. I don't think it's for political purposes because that is much easier to figure out without these oblique questions.

One group who would benefit from detailed life style profiles are life insurance companies. More detail is better for setting accurate premiums while remaining competitive with other life insurance companies.

Edit: I almost forgot to mention a really popular one I've seen a lot of lately: "Have you ever had a DUI ? I'll wait." It's unbelievable to me that people would answer this question, but it definitely something insurance companies would like to know because their records don't go that far back into the paper age. A lot of people answer something like "No, but I should have."
Poor Pappa's gets to defeat diversity, but I don't think that even the 5th circuit saves Tesla on this one. If plaintiffs want a jury trial, they're going to get a jury trial. No doubt they can come up with experts to opine that Autopilot's design is defective and unreasonably dangerous, and that Tesla failed to exercise reasonable care in the design / marketing / whatever of Autopilot.

And, I'm sure the shareholder derivative lawsuit attorneys are excited at the near certainty that the Tesla board won't do their fiduciary duty wrt to CEO's chosen legal strategy.
Some people do everything "right" and still "win" the hard luck lottery.

The real question is health care a right?

If it is who pays? If it is the taxpayers, then they should have some say in the behavior of others right? No more overeating, no more smoking, no more risky sex, no more drugs, then the question is who will enforce this? It is a spiral of government intervention. It is a tough problem, now compound this problem with citizenship. Should noncitizens be covered? If the answer is yes then one must think of the global implications. If a country is exporting people without any restrictions we could easily bankrupt our taxpayers. If we treat them and charge back to the host country, and they refuse to pay, what then?

+1 to everything simplyaccont said. Long term projects were a tough beast to manage given the short-term incentives. Usually those got done by breaking them up into milestones and hitting those. That said, my general impression (as a first-level manager who sat in on calibrations) was that unless you move some serious metrics in those milestones, it would be difficult to exceed expectations and much of the upper management encouragement for long-term projects was mostly empty air due to the 6-month performance cycle.

That said, large cross-org projects certainly do exist. To answer your specific question, there would normally be some sort of a lead on the whole project, tech lead or PM lead or, often, a pair of those. They would meet regularly with leads of various sub-areas, organized similarly, and ensure things line up properly. Now repeat recursively until you get down to team level, where there might be a tech lead, or perhaps just a senior engineer working with a few non-seniors on their portion of the larger initiative. At this point this would get broken down into individual projects that each person owns and is accountable for. Tech lead may or may not contribute code to this project, they (and their team at large) might be involved in a bunch of parallel initiatives that often don't have much to do with each other, other than the product scope the team owns. Things like daily stand-ups don't work when everybody has their own work stream (and often multiple streams at that).

Hope this clarifies. The setup works for certain types of personalities, but I found it to be a very individualistic culture that I didn't particularly enjoy.

It's not the mass per se, but the need for the thing to be contained at the target end. If the ring is already at the target end, you have a relatively large mass of enriched uranium surrounded by a neutron reflector. That's not going to make things go bang, but it is enough to be rather exciting. By sitting the core cylinder in the middle of the containment vessel with a gap around it and filling that gap with the ring on firing, nothing goes critical until it's supposed to go supercritical. (The ring is carried on a sort of sabot.)

Interesting, I hadn't heard of MediaLab until just a few days ago when I listened to a Darknet Diaries episode[1] about Kik and some "content problems" that MediaLab are leaving unresolved.

A couple things:

1. Sometimes your team needs to give an estimate of when it will deliver a feature. The idea of pointing in Scrum is that you establish a velocity, which lets you get a feel for how long it's going to take to deliver a given piece of work.

2. Sometimes your team needs to make trade-offs, and often the right lens here is ROI. You can't estimate ROI if you don't estimate the I. (Although I believe agile tends to somewhat overrate the usefulness of the ROI lens.)

3. In the absence of 1 or 2, the act of pointing can help to catch the case where you miss a piece of complexity; if someone thinks it's 8 and everyone else is a 5, then maybe they are aware of some gnarly code that everyone else has forgotten?

I'm not arguing in favor of discussing each story to death, just making a more general justification for the practice. If you never need to do 1 or 2, then maybe pointing isn't going to be useful for your team at this time -- and that's OK too.

I'm sure in some cases this is just driven by managers needing metrics to measure their teams by, but the above is an attempt to suggest some reasons that the teams themselves might find the practice useful.
Sorry, I confused Truman with Eisenhower. Still, I have a feeling I can find similar views even from him:

> In 1953, he considered using nuclear weapons to end the Korean War, and may have threatened China with nuclear attack if an armistice was not reached quickly.

> He supported regime-changing military coups in Iran and Guatemala orchestrated by his own administration

> He approved the Bay of Pigs invasion, which was left to John F. Kennedy to carry out.
US credit card issuers went through the phase of offering disposable credit card numbers 15-20 years ago. And about 10 years ago they started to discontinue this option.

I think major selling point was preventing fraud, and it was a hassle for a consumer. I.e. consumer have to proactively generate virtual CC every time they pay over the Internet. Which is a pain point especially on mobile. Zero liability solved the problem for the majority of users with less friction.

With regards to subscriptions virtual credit cards are not always a solution. If you have signed a contract and then your card "expired" it doesn't magically make your contract void. I know that gyms will keep billing you and eventually will sell you to collectors.
Texas is in the same bucket as Arkansas, DC, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, and South Dakota as having an unlimited homestead exemption. Though, if you're convicted of securities fraud in Texas, you're limited to $125k. Dunno if that little caveat is still enforced.

California upped their homestead exemption to $600k this year.

There are still a bunch of states that have sub $100k exemptions on the books, with Tennessee and Virginia at $5k.

No idea about Revolut, but Citi has had a similar built-in feature since something like 2005. It's called "Virtual Account Numbers." You can set total spend limits as well as expiration dates. Once either one is hit, transactions will simply be declined.

Mark Zuckerberg has been quoted through leaked documents to be a strong purveyor of "engagement" at nearly all costs. I don't think giving Facebook the term "accidental" is appropriate anymore. Their desire for engagement trumps the health of their network. I'll dig through my favorited submissions for the WSJ article.

I think we've been using this term long before mobile phones...

This feels a bit like the word "bug"; I'd be quite interested to know if it can be traced to its actual first use.

People associate it with phones because as I remember they were always being described as the size (and weight) of a brick, and that's when they were working.
I'm sorry but that's not been my experience at all, in my state the union refused to work in person even after they were vaccinated.
Magician calls that mis-direction.
HN has seen many discussions over the proper meaning of bricked. [0][1][2][3]

I think it's because it's an ambiguous metaphor. Does it mean currently only as useful to you as a brick, or does it mean as objectively valuable as a brick. Personally I prefer the original stronger definition, where recoverable issues do not count as bricked, but so it goes.

I would argue that's quite different from when some influencer asks what state you're from without telling what state you're from.
Quizzes and games give data in a much easier format compared to this.
It's just a trick to engage people and people like to laugh with stereotypes so they happily oblige.
Analyzing all this unlabeled text data to find out what state someone is from seems hardly worth the effort, it's not like that's valuable information.
I like the idea. However, I am afraid this would lead to people with no children being disadvantaged again.

Increased prices would clearly make it more expensive to raise children. This would lead to more social care towards people with children. How would you recommend solving that?
Thanks for telling people about this. I think it's a bit common that women work and work and work and suddenly they're 35 or 40 and it's almost too late to have kids. (And I think that is sad)

Maybe it'd be better if people spent 5 more years working, until they were say 70, instead of retiring at 65.

And could instead take some years off in their late 20's and have kids. (Men too, although for them it's not biologically important in the same way)

I don't really think it's a legitimate or scalable way to inform people. On a smaller scale it could help people in the local social network to be aware of what those posts are doing.

Another thing to do is to tell people "they're trying to use this information to get into your bank account". That will make them stop really fast. But as far as scalability goes, I don't think there's a way.
I was disgusted but not surprised when I learned about the HCA subreddit. It’s petty, brutish and childish. It reminds me of when Bin Laden was killed in 2011 and they televised a stadium full of Americans cheering and celebrating.

> Personally I think closing the nuclear reactors is a terrible idea, considering nuclear is the only clean base load generation we have

I am very against nuclear power, on both the economic aspect, and the health and hazards side of things, specially nuclear waste for which there are no cold long term repositories which inspire much trust in me

This said, I am fully on board on keeping existing nuclear reactors working, BUT I learned recently that radiation itself damages/corrodes/degrades the containment vessels of nuclear reactors over time, to the point where what was once strong steel or titanium becomes as fragile as glass or sugar glass (!!!)...
Which is just not something that you can repair as the damage happens at the molecular level so then the entire reactor building needs to be basically scrapped for the most part and the vessel rebuilt

So, when nuclear scientists and engineers say that x reactor has a y lifespan, they are being very serious about it

I am despite all of that fully on board with extending the lifespan of nuclear reactors as long as possible
