There's no "directly". It's not like your PC is plugged in to the Telco backbone router, right?

No matter what, the packets have to traverse multiple hops, including the residential router that you've currently got.

It's not like the IPv6 packets magically "hop over" the router and skip it, they're processed the same way, except for one difference: the destination addresses are not altered in the process.

Note that IPv4 is supposed to work the same way. Back in the good old days, you'd get a public routable address even for home connections. Every router in the path to your PC would not modify the destination address.[1]

The RFC1918 address space was formalized in 1996, but I had an Internet connection as far back as 1992, and the "IPv4 Internet as we know it" materialised back in the '82-'83 era, and HTML in 1990.

This means that NAT is a "new thing", a workaround for the problem of address space exhaustion only. It wasn't a solution for security. Firewalls existed before, firewalls existed after, and generally worked the same with or without NAT.

Without NAT, my home Internet is still secure. Inbound connections are blocked by default. If I permit an inbound connection, it takes the same path through the same devices. All of the processing is the same, except for not having a single 32-bit address[2] rewritten in the packet headers.

Having my internal network devices being 1:1 addressable from the outside doesn't mean accessible. The default-deny firewall is in place either way, NAT or no NAT.

PS: If you can afford the USD 40 per public IPv4 address, and your ISP is willing to sell you a /C or whatever, you can totally have the non-NAT "experience" with IPv4 on your home network! It'll work the same as IPv6, with directly addressable devices with public-routable addresses. The firewall in your router will work the same! You'll still be just as protected.

[1] THIS is where the perception that NAT is required for security came from! In the 90s, most endpoints did not have a built in default-deny firewall, especially Windows. Most people dialed into the Internet via a modem and got a public IP on their PC, exposing them to attackers without any firewalls in the way (software or hardware). When people were forced to move to NAT, as a side-effect they also got a firewall on their network for the first time. Now? Every residential Internet router has a firewall, as does every endpoint on top of that.

[2] Okay, the address, the port, TTL, and the checksum.
I agree that there is a need for this.

I don't want to remain locked to their closed systems.

Godspeed!
Or an immune system... or therapeutics...

Hi my name is Vedran and I represent a small high-grade web consultancy team with extensive experience in architecting, building, and managing large custom-made applications. Recent projects: https://bytecode.hr/
Throughout the last decade we built Airbnb-like platforms, music streaming apps, healthcare/finance/construction apps, real-time GPS vehicle tracking suites, worked on core systems of big data platforms (millions of daily transactions) and more.

We mostly collaborate with companies, but also have a lot of positive experiences working with non-technical founders.

We are searching for greenfield projects with a budget that we will build using Ruby On Rails and React. We are also looking to build some small Wordpress sites.

I am unsure about the exact legal details about decompilation, but in regards to the SM64 decompile the fact it produces a rom that is byte for byte exact I doubt it to be legal
At least it covers UML. That'll set them back a few decades.
Roko’s Basilisk seems like something lifted straight from Christianity: if you know about the scripture you don’t have an excuse of ignorance to sin freely; the day of judgment is coming, etc. I see a lot of parallels.
Believe it or not, at the time, the term had a different connotation
> then Frege's work became equally known through the work of Bertrand Russel

I'm no expert, but you missed the part where Peirce was written out of the history of logic entirely for most of the 20th C[0], I guess due to the centrality of Frege/Russell in the Anglo/analytic tradition.

The article doesn't seem to me to claim that "one person fully deserves the credit". "What is the point of that"? I guess to be able to give readers new to Peirce, in a couple of paragraphs, an idea of the breadth and importance of his work. I'm not sure how the article "ultimately demeans the value of its subject", if you mean Peirce. It's not a technical journal article, but a "learn how awesome Peirce was!" article, and begrudging Peirce such articles seems a little, well, more goblyny than queennely.

Thanks for the interesting article!

I think it may be time for a userbase fork. All the politics, policy and economic, and general business news to one side, all the hardware, software, science, startup, and tech business news to the other.
Do you have frequencies for the Cuban number stations?
I had a read through the repo docs, and briefly skimmed the video -- maybe I'm slow, but my understanding was that Unikernels and MicroVM's are meant to be run on bare metal?

IE, OSv is not something I would put on my $5 Digital Ocean droplet, or use to run a general application. As opposed to something like, a Golang/Rust binary, or a Docker Container. I was looking for something I could give to users to let them self-host this Function-as-a-Service platform. Whether that's locally on their laptop for testing, or running somewhere as a cloud service (but probably as a very cheap one).

When I asked the founder of a container-based startup about whether Firecracker would be useful for a scenario like this replacing Docker, he told me:

"... this confuses me a bit as they are very different things. Firecracker is a hypervisor to run MicroVM's (IE: hardware virtualization)"

But again, I have no clue about this stuff. Hence why I asked

---

tl;dr = "Can I put this in a container and give it to people to run?" I guess haha
It is not obvious that Starlink is not a liability. I have seen people make convincing economic arguments that Starlink will eat money not make money.
This PR release says the point was "Developing the Most Broadly Used Enterprise End-to-End Encryption Offering" (https://investors.zoom.us/news-releases/news-release-details...)

Five months later, they announce their initial technical preview of E2E encryption (https://blog.zoom.us/zoom-rolling-out-end-to-end-encryption-...)

What usually happens after M&A is if the acquired product isn't a profit-maker, they "integrate" it into other products and it goes into maintenance mode, eventually to be sunset. If the product did make money, they'd re-brand it and keep development going... unless they have plans to integrate the product's core feature into a larger corporate product (Zoom) that a separate branded product would compete against internally.

It seems like keybase has been eaten and absorbed into the Zoom app, and the rest will be flushed.
men that sit with one leg over the other look authoritative.
Right except on the other hand, look at the whole Dual_EC_DRBG fiasco where the NSA gave instructions for how one could pick parameters, but also offered their own suggestion (in some standards, one had to use the suggested parameters.)

The bit about choosing parameters suggests that the NSA didn’t have a benevolent reason to choose those parameters, and the evidence of that algorithm being exploited in the wild suggests that the NSA may have chosen their parameters with that exploit in mind.
Because this isn't getting enough attention, let me point out that nullc is Gregory Maxwell, Bitcoin core developer. The parent comment is the most informed comment here and you should upvote it.
Those YouTube videos are not in English. The instructions I gave are for English broadcasts. Also, the YouTube videos don’t follow the same format as the radio broadcasts. They seem more polished , but I did not spend a lot of time with them.
There are two theories:

- We're borrowing money, and we'll need to pay it back. That's scary.

- Money is bits in a computer, and from the perspective of the US government, it's like video game currency. Debts and deficits are fiscal instruments.

Which of these is correct, or something else, is TBD. I think a big part of the question is who holds the debt. I'm a lot more worried about foreign debt, and I'm a lot less worried about debt as a financial instrument to pay interest on de facto savings accounts.

It depends on the OEM, but in the worst cases it’s essentially anything. You can’t even change your own oil.
On my journey into this secret world I sadly had to conclude that understanding of the needed math was severely lacking, and that I'd have to start far back to ever get a grasp on it. But on the flipside it has motivated me to learn a bunch of things I never thought I would when I was younger, and also to program things that I never in my life thought I'd be able to.
Maybe a poor choice of words, but the hypothesis under test should make clear who is reasonable to exclude.
I’m not interested in rust, or elixer, or Python or…the list keeps going and is much longer than the list of tech I am interested in. This means I’m unlikely to even grep the title of articles about some keyword specific to them let alone engage with them. I would assume a large number of if not a majority of tech readers are in the same boat. Better believe I’m clicking on any Ruby related articles and probably engaging further as well. Most people here are probably skipping over those same articles I’m engaging with.

An article about Iran or Google is probably going to pull a big audience simply because it’s relevant to a wide audience of the readers here.
Not true from my experience, but 'North' is a broad geographic area.
You can see that the scrollbar is at angle to the text of a background window.
Quite. Also its way more complicated than that. I'm not an apiarist per se but I am interested in them - an interested amateur if you like.

To me there are roughly three classes of bee: There are honey bees, which are the ones that are farmed by humans ie domesticated. They live in colonies of around 50,000 in mostly man made hives. There are wild bees that naturally form colonies. Bumblebees for example, live in colonies of around 20 to 2000 individuals. Finally we have the solitary bees. These do not form colonies at all.

What is happening is that various species of really useful insects are being wiped out. This isn't just in the US but everywhere.

This is perhaps the situation in the UK: https://post.parliament.uk/research-briefings/post-pn-0619/ feel free to grab the report and read it. It's not pretty reading.

The marginal correlation actually starts to break down gradually just after the median.

A very poor person could rise up to the status of Neumann, they'd just need significantly more innate intelligence, which is a very tall order.
As far as I can tell, COVID has two predominant modes of spread:

- Extended time indoors, with high viral loads. It spreads ridiculously well with no protection (even among the vaccinated).

- Isolated superspreader events, where one person infects many, even with distant contact.

Filters would seem to target the latter more than the former.
It's cool they use the same source so it's always the current version. I always assume projects like these aren't current or are several versions behind.
I think they meant bios/uefi is locked out by IT. That is case for me. Also TPM is only available on some distros. You can use linux as long as it is Ubuntu or RedHat and maybe Arch if you are lucky.
>You won't often catch covid from...

how do you know? it seems like most cases are attributed to the nebulous "community spread" and nobody is really sure who they're coming from or how we're catching it. maybe we are getting it from the person breathing near us - if masks help, i don't see a reason that improved air filtration wouldn't.
I know writing tone can be faked, but his tone doesn't seem like Hal at all. Hal was cheery, and Satoshi was more to the point and intense.
> WSL was implemented to avoid the gradual loss of users, most of them being developers, to Linux.

They're bleeding users to MacOS, Linux desktop installs is a rounding error.
Investors purchase Treasury bonds based on the fact that the US government always pays it back. At some point won’t the amount we pay back on the deficit crowd out other government spending?
Every dollar of tax revenue we have to raise to pay the interest on the debt is a dollar that can't be left in our pockets, or diverted to more useful government programs.

Last year it was $522B, this year it's already been $562B and we still have one more fiscal quarter to go.
Hasn’t been a big issue for us since we are a larger farm and have blueberries pollinating right after our almonds making us a desirable partner. The rates have gone up, but we can afford them easily for almonds. The current almond pollination actually uses essentially 100% of commercial bees in the United States, but almond acreage is almost certain to only go down for the foreseeable future, so I don’t expect it to become a big issue. My understanding is that the colony collapse disorder is not considered a huge threat by bee keepers that do things the right way.
The entire lower white donut ring around the bottom of the CN tower is a radome, inside are ptp microwave dishes. It was a lot more relevant in the era before singlemode fiber went everywhere.

Something I noticed about Slashdot was that it started out talking about the latest processors, software, and Linux kernel patches. Then the conversation ever-so-slowly started drifting towards CEOs, the sharemarket, politics, and the like.

It's a side-effect of an aging user base. Young people get excited about New Things! With big numbers!

Older people get bored of the latest technological advancements and instead become interested in whether Zuckerberg will get dethroned or not.
Any country that doesn't control its deficits doesn't last very long. It gets too weak to maintain its borders, and gets overthrown either by internal forces or by external forces.

It's same principle as eating fewer calories than you expend. You just waste away. Sooner or later you can't throw off that pneumonia, or you are too weak to defend yourself against thugs.
The Spotify podcast[1] details his hiring and the impact he had on the initial desktop application. Seems like it was a really impressively engineered piece of software. They did a lot of customization and hacking on protocols/encodings to make playing a song instant

Yeah I get all those things, I just don't think Boston is that different than the rest of the USA to account for the magnitude of change we see. A little change, sure. But we are talking a halving of bioavailable testosterone.

Nevermind the fact that this isn't the only study showing declines in testosterone all over the world.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/neilhowe/2017/10/02/youre-not-t...

>Studies show that men’s testosterone levels have been declining for decades. The most prominent, a 2007 study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, revealed a “substantial” drop in U.S. men’s testosterone levels since the 1980s, with average levels declining by about 1% per year. This means, for example, that a 60-year-old man in 2004 had testosterone levels 17% lower than those of a 60-year-old in 1987. Another study of Danish men produced similar findings, with double-digit declines among men born in the 1960s compared to those born in the 1920s.

Starlink will not be a cash cow but a cash sink that burns money to keep SpaceX busy. By having other people foot the bill SpaceX is getting most of the money from the endeavour via launch costs without losing any control of SpaceX.

The person who prefers a process that has the chance to land them in prison is rare indeed. But I'm not sure that's a moral argument, at least not as people think of it normally. Admittedly, there is a school, which I sometimes flirt with, that claims that moral statements are simply a specially coded statement of preference. But outside that context, I'm not sure exactly what aspect of Assange's perspective I'm meant to consider in this context.

Neither would I, personally. But Linux is hard to manage for corporations especially when people use different distros.

These things may be required by the security department. So WSL is a nice carrot there for them. Management through Windows and Linux on top of it. I worked in endpoint management so I can see the appeal.

However personally I really like the way Linux is free of corporate influence. In fact I switched to FreeBSD for that reason as I feel that big IT is getting too involved with Linux.
Yes it is good. I truly believe there is no engineering in a vaccum — I don't mean morally, like it's "not right" to not consider the context, but rather not considering the context is simply incomplete engineering.
That would only happen if sometime between 2027 and 2030 they buy out both Linus and the Linux Foundation, re-write all GPL code not owned by the Foundation, and re license Linux to some other license other than GPL.
Can anyone get the "abandon proof" button to work in the profile in-browser if you want to remove something from your profile? I can't get it to work in Firefox and Edge for some reason.

We basically have an efficient system where two sides constantly adjust their positions so that elections are won basically on a knife edge. The system demands competition, and if that competition doesn’t come from outside (eg there is a war), it won’t simply disappear.

Actually, doesn’t China do that? It paints it’s people’s struggles as them vs the rest of the world. Maybe they don’t need political competition because the CIA gets the blame for many of its domestic problems.
Ah this would confirm some earlier studies done with blind humans.

The problem is that if there's brain damage preventing the higher brain functions from seeing, it doesn't mean part of the brain isn't aware of the image. They found that these blind people were able to navigate a complex course perfectly, and they just felt it was instinctual to turn here, or there. But their thoughts weren't connected to the vision so they couldn't read or use the vision for any complex function other than obstacle avoidance.
Eh, it has it's charms, but I don't really see a place for it where another language wouldn't be an equally good or better fit. There is a glut of good choices, and only so many novel problems that 95% of industry ever actually faces.
