The core concepts of IPv6 isn't the hard part. The hard part is fighting issues like why suddenly you can't resolve anything[1], why your Android device isn't resolving this host when IPv6 is enabled on your router[2] or how the hell you're supposed to write firewall rules when your prefix changes and the firewall only supports static IPs[3].

[1]: Router hands out its global IPv6 address as DNS server to clients and router just got a new prefix. Bonus points to pfSense for not having a way to disable this...

[2]: Android refuses to use supplied IPv4 DNS server if it gets an IPv6 address...

Power loss for 2 days has nothing to do with insufficient generating capacity. When that happens they do rolling blackouts across large area to avoid people freezers melting etc.

If nothing else demand varies over the course of the day so unless there is very widespread issues with generation like in Texas generation capacity should be sufficient at some point in the day.

It's a red herring. Here's what Facebook actually wrote as the reason for the ban[1]:

Seems you have more detailed info. I just checked full-load efficiencies of transformers and it turned out to vary from 95% to 98.5% and the comprehensive efficiency can actually drop below 90%. If we factor in the loss on wires, I guess my estimate of loss per transformer layer 10% should be pretty close to actual. So I'm not surprised to see a transmission loss of 50% to 60%.

Surface ships are not always noisy. This is especially a problem with supertankers if you they are head-on to you, they can be hard to hear from underwater, especially with the high level of noise from the surface around the supertanker.

California's housing issues have been compounded by the spate of fires in recent years and they have 12 percent of the overall population of the US but 25 percent of the homeless population.

California's housing issues are complex and not likely to be remedied quickly. This sounds like a completely reasonable plan at first glance.
There will be interest on the loan. Probably fairly low given the collateral, but it won't be 0 (assuming this is not a sweetner from some investment bank that works a lot with Tesla/SpaceX).

If it's hedged you actually don't have any upside so you will always be 'underwater' on the loan assuming >0 interest rate.

If interest rates were higher, it probably wouldn't make sense to do this endless loan trick[1]. Say you get charged 5% on this loan or you could pay 30% cap gains. It would only take 5 years for the interest payments to outstrip the upfront hit on the tax.

1. This is very simplistic though, as likely the $1bn would be invested in some way that would kick off some return, probably enough to cover the interest.
I'm not an experienced folk, but I can confidently predict that USDC will be fine. That's why it's already taken over most stablecoin functions in Ethereum DeFi.

So let's talk about NYC as it's a place I know a fair bit about, having lived there for >10 years.

NYC is clearly an expensive place... kind of. Manhattan obviously is really expensive but there are 4 other boroughs plus the Hudson Valley, eastern New Jersey and Long Island that are all within commuting distance.

Even with NYC prices, I content that lower-income workers are significantly better off in NYC than the Bay Area. Let me give you a concrete example. I just went onto Streeteasy and found a 2 bedroom apartment in Astoria for $295k [1]. It's a 30 minute commute to Midtown [2]

Even better, it's by public transit so no need for added expensive of buying, parking, maintaining and putting gas into a car.

You simply won't find anything equivalent in the Bay Area.

> Then again, those markets were booming even before tech workers moved to there.

I don't think that matches the data. Depending on what segment you look at prices in the Bay Area have almost doubled since 2012 [3].

So a couple of questions immediately spring to mind.

1. Which countries are these?

2. If we were to take that as a given, do these countries see that as a problem?

3. What would be their remedy, in your eyes, if an American corporation is found to have a monopoly in their jurisdiction but not in the United States?
This is a good point. But it does not apply to most well-paid engineers who might consider moving to Austin.

Land and more land is one solution. Density and more density is another, so the downtown can actually grow bigger and bigger; if people are willing to live closer to everything, they have a better chance than in SF (but still a far cry from NYC or Chicago).

A childish Twitter exchange from May 2020? I doubt it.
Curious. Is that true? I ask because I read papers on digital cash years before Bitcoin and never saw any reference to financial system instability. It was just "being able to send money digitally like cash would be useful and cool", perhaps with a bit of "banks and western union are bandits with their fees". I always thought the alternative financial system stuff was added later to make the scene more interesting to prepper types.
Hum, ok, increasing the price of energy (because you are not burning the cheapest sources) does indeed push people a little bit into using less energy. I understand his point now.

Now I have to hardly disagree, because we won't solve that problem without some amount of discomfort. And increasing the price of energy so the non-fossil sources can compete better is how can give up the least of it.
This is where gaming-based simulations (usually based on videogames) are apparently catching on as a very interesting realm for psychological experiments.

It's a game and a simulation, so the set-up is low (once the game iself exists), but participants actually seem to get highly invested in the game mechanics. (This might be a stretch for people on HN to believe, but stay with me ;-) And it's possible to run some very-large-scale studies by tapping into existing gaming titles and platforms, particularly MMOGs.

Hmm, I wonder why you'd think that, versus believing that author's "spin" that Facebook is "trying to" bury an anti-addiction tool. Let's see what the cease-and-desist letter[1] says:

> Facebook has gathered evidence that your Chrome extension "Unfollow Everything for Facebook" facilitates unauthorized functionality on Facebook. Specifically, your extension automates action on Facebook, including mass following and unfollowing of Friends, Pages, and Groups.

Oh.

It turns out, Facebook specifically buried an anti-addiction tool for being an anti-addiction tool; and the comment that you made was an unsubstantiated and needless attack on the author.

Comments like that don't belong here.

> though I personally think it inflates home prices in CA above their "true" market value and disincentivizes anyone from selling/moving

Exactly. And this is important for potential homeowners to understand. It is one of the things that makes California real estate so attractive. One has to view their house as an investment, not just a place to live.
I think we're in agreement. I'm saying that this was a last ditch effort to save Apple, but it wouldn't have scaled beyond a few years of runway. Jobs likely understood that a long term OEM deal would have hurt Apple's brand, but would also stop the bleeding short term.
I don't know, man.

But he is highly functioning when drunk, I can attest to that!

I've seen the gold in the basement at the federal reserve in NYC. Or at least something that looked a lot like gold. It isn't all owned by the USG though.
Any sonar useful enough to navigate at speed is going to give away your position.

It's the "flashlight in the dark room" problem. Your sonar ping has to travel to an object and reflect back to the submarine. But an adversary just needs to hear the original ping to know what direction it came from, so you can be detected at a longer distance, and potentially a much longer distance, than you could reliably detect the other submarine at.

That's not to say active sonar is never used, but at least with the U.S. it's not going to be continuously used, and it's going to be rare to use it if you're in a mission area.

A sonar transducer that can emit a ping with directionality is sometimes useful (e.g. a fathometer to measure depth to the ocean bottom, since the crushing pressure of the depths ensures the area below you is generally clear of enemy subs), and those are used. But even there, that wouldn't be useful for navigating when otherwise blind; you use fathometers to confirm that you're approximately in the area you think you're in based on the chart readings.

I bought a copy of "Chess Skill in Man and Machine"

https://www.amazon.com/Chess-machine-monographs-computer-sci...

back in the 70's, and it's descriptions of how a game could be mapped into a program was very illuminating to me. I still have a function in the DMD D compiler named evalu8() as tribute to that book.

Sadly, I lost my copy somewhere. I just ordered another from Amazon, I'm curious as to how it appears 4+ decades later.

This is always such an astonishing question to me. What happened to "the ecosystems" when we went from millions of humans to billions in the ecological timescale of the blink of an eye?

One mention of "gene" and you attract all the conspiracy theory evolution deniers that suspect the upcoming zombie apocalypse behind the most mundane technology, all the while combusted dinosaurs takes them to their job.

Don't worry, "the ecosystems" are perfectly fine with things appearing and disappearing constantly for the most random reasons.

I started a project that I hope to maybe turn into a product (foss/community edition hybrid approach). One of the tech stacks I evaluated was mono-based, using c# and the .net libraries.

I ended up turning down that choice due to a couple of factors, but one of them was the glacial pace of .net process and development. It just didn't look or feel like a healthy ecosystem, if you weren't paying microsoft $$$$. Just a ton of small warning flags around the community, the stack, and the maintenance of core projects.

C#, .NET, and the associated ecosystem doesn't feel good to work with, out of date, and in desperate need of modernization. The alternatives (spring, flask/falcon, lightbend) all seemed much more modern and easy to work with.

I actually have a concrete example of this: one of the features of my project is that you can define yaml based configuration documents, and share them. Using something that was easy to write for small but coherent configurations was crucial - XML was right out. The .NET ecosystem's yaml support is not great, feels kinda janky, and yaml validation is a paid product! That's completely untenable for something that's still in the weekend work phase. And it wasn't just that, but tons of things I had become accustomed to in python were either incredibly immature or paid. Not to mention that the built in build system was horrific, confusing, and had weak documentation. It's probably a lot easier when you just write a check to a contractor to set up a template for your team, but I have no luxury. Sure, some of this is on me, but I wanted to get started building and the .net ecosystem repeatedly got in my way until I was forced to give up.

So, upon hearing that the .net foundation is spending all of its time generating stacks of bureaucracy and causing internal drama, I feel like I made the right choice. At this point, it's unlikely I re-evaluate .net for future projects unless I hear massively good things (like what happened with java, which took a decade).
I was reading the article to learn what I can do to increase my alcohol tolerance. I was never much of a drinker, but at some point it started dropping really radically - to where I now have a massive hangover if I have a large glass of wine in a restaurant (a restaurant pour vs. my own) - even over an hour, with water and food, etc.
I do sometimes wish I could have two glasses, or try more wine when on a trip, or have a digestif in a great restaurant...but but nope, it's out entirely.

No, what I mean is: some effective altruists invest their time and money in stopping a possible future AI from slaving humanity.

So, my challenge to them is: if you think that you can stop a super-intelligent AI from taking over, show me that you can stop the dumbest possible malicious intelligence that we know of, which right now would be a DDOS. And the incentives to develop either are pretty much the same, too.

If they can't, and my guess is that they can't, then I don't see why I should believe that they can stop anything bigger.
It's a nice thought. I hope businesses that compete with mine do that, so I can produce twice as much as they do and win the market.

I was thinking about miners, they get bitcoins as a reward for helping to keep the network secure. So what I'm saying is that they get rewarded for their work in much the same way that all the cogs in the supply chain machine get rewarded for their work. There are just fewer steps.

There's interplay with other actors of course, the people that trade bitcoin are one of those actors. This kind of interaction also exists for physical objects like cars, they also only get their value by interacting with the rest of the world.

But yes if cars would disappear this would have an impact on more people simply because there are more people involved in the manufacturing process.
