Has anyone tried raising elephants using industrial livestock methods, for harvesting ivory and reducing the price to reduce poaching?

I expect that selective breeding could yield elephants that produce large amounts of ivory continuously. Elephant generation time is a minimum of 11 years (2 years gestation and 9 years for females to reach sexual maturity). The project would take many years.

Other animals produce ivory. Common warthog has a 2-year generation time. Hippo is 7 years. Walrus is 6 years. Narwhal is 7 years.

Apple has always focused on a few products, with the exception of the Performa days where there were a zillion models of Mac sold.
The problem with that tradeoff is that you only compare the performance with the 'top layer of abstraction' that is already implemented and not with the baseline.

I am asking, under IPv4 I can trivially get a static block of IPs.

I can then trivially

* put some devices on a VLAN (ie, a VOIP phone) and it will have a public IP, globally routable.

This works well in my experience, latency is super annoying on VoIP and for some reason behind a NAT sometimes it seems to route media through a third party server!

For a small business you can put a PBX on the VLAN and folks can remote register to it trivially (ie, phone.companyZ.com) - with COVID this is great.

You can VPN terminate more easily with a static ip block.

At home I can do a game server on the static IP block or I can host some of the simultaneous music composition stuff (trivially).

My question is simple - how do I get a static IPv6 block so I can do all this if I want to on IPv6.

I get IPv4 is outdated, but how do I do some of this stuff in the fancy IPv6?

You are telling me IPv6 means I don't need any public static IPs and can use some private IPv6 space (10.x was already plenty for that for me in ipv4) with a dynamic public IPv6.

Fine, how does this work. Seriously, what VPN endpoint am I configuring? How does my VOIP / SIP play with this? Do I need to go back to poking weird holes in a NAT? My OWN experience was this all doesn't play well together. Firewalls seem not to play well with dynamic prefixes - and that's just the start. Devices pick up the wrong IP's internally (SIP etc).

In short - 20 years into this, when I try to do something simple -> stick my VoIP phone on a static public IP and VLAN -> its a total pain.

At a small biz, if I try and put a PBX on a static public IPv6 - it's a total pain (and BTW - the SIP IPv6 support in most hardware and softphones is terrible).

This should be the winning use case. Phone calls / person to person audio would benefit TREMENDOUSLY from direct peering connections without any NAT!

But despite an insane number if IPv6 addresses at least in the US they won't assign you a block of even 20.

Does the inclusion of "service" mean it is logical for an API to accept different "actions" as query parameters of the same resource?

AWS has API actions such as "GetMetricData"[0] and the documentation[1] helpfully says:

Porn sites have an impetus to serve content quickly because the content itself is often an advertisement for some other paid service. So even with some small number of conversions they make some money.

Gfycat et all aren't lead-ins to paid services so they're going to festoon pages with low paying ads. The porn content is also usually more fungible than a meme gif. A particular gif of a cat or something is what people are after vs the porn where it's anything that turns them on.

They're stating their projected version of the facts. It's the narrative as they see it. Important details could be missing.

Suppose you and I made a few attempts to start a company together and it didn't work out. Then I went off on my own as a solo founder and got seed funding. Then imagine I made a blog post titled "I tried to start a company with ironmagma 3 times and failed, so I became a solo founder instead and succeeded".

There's no race? Just commentary. It's an interesting discussion IMO.
Absolutely.

Money can only solve poverty when property rights are respected and enforced, when there is an open market of sorts to spend the money for useful stuff, when the bearer does not spend the money on useless stuff (lotteries, payments to cult leaders, etc), and when the bearer is not addicted (to substances, games, etc).

All the above are not problems money alone can solve.
I like that case.

As someone who runs a newsletter and is active in the email space (and sees the other side of what happens when a message is sent to thousands of people), I think my concern with this approach is that it comes off as passive-aggressive against everyone, good-faith or not, especially in cases where someone signed up for an email in a double opt-out format where they had to verify that they wanted the messages in the first place. And during this period, if I remember right, a lot of people were tweeting their email accounts in an effort to encourage Earn.com as a revenue stream. To my eyes, it felt like it didn’t solve a problem, but instead brought gatekeeping to email and was not being used for its intended purpose.

I think the problem I have with what I wrote three years ago is that my emotion around this was way over the top, and as a result my legitimate concerns around the model (and how it could damage honest use cases for sending messages, such as newsletters sent in a one-to-many format, or journalists emailing potential sources), got overshadowed by hyperbole. I could imagine hundreds of people doing this on a single list, overwhelming a single user or organization. I would prefer to see an approach like this managed at the standards level rather than from a startup, because I could too easily see it misused.

I have a lot of complex thoughts around this model, because it’s gatekeepy and unworkable at scale, but this clearly whipped-off post didn’t properly convey them.

Like sure, they don't need MORE than $30mn, but shouldn't we be asking why they got $30mn of public assistance in the first place? By your logic, shouldn't it be like 3 orders of magnitude smaller (Edit: since only the first $30k or so covers basic needs and the rest is allocated to non-essentials)?

No, that's not what I mean.

The internet network and it's forbears was funded largely by the US DoD (not the army specifically I don't think?) (and as a huge portion of academic computer science continues to be, btw), but most of the people involved in creating the internet and the things built on top of it, technologically and socially, including those allocating significant material resources to it's development, were not in fact military personnel (let alone in the army specifically?).

What I meant is that the people involved in building it were focused on things other than making money. (This may be hard to believe, that any human endeavor can take place except motivated by extreme profits, but it's the case). They were also not, by and large on the whole, especially motivated by military advantage, although some may have been, including some of the funders. But it was not in fact, largely, built as a national-security-focused or military/militarized network (sure, subsets of it were, there was a MILNET; it was a part of ARPANET and later separated from it, which shows that it was not the whole); nor was it built originally as a giant surveillance system for the purposes of commerce and profit (or law enforcement).
You don't have evidence for that. You presume that less intelligent animals are easier to control, but that's not at all necessarily true. The smaller brain -> less intelligence isn't even something we know.

That's not really the price of an IPv4 address: you don't have control over it, it's just not changing because they made a DHCP reservation or something. Owning an address means you can announce it to peers via BGP, set up PTR records, etc.

IPv4 addresses are expensive right now. Registries run out of new allocations years ago, so if you ask them you'll be put in a waiting list[1] hoping one for a block to be recovered. To get one right know you have to go on the market and negotiate a transfer: blocks are selling at ~50$/address right now. The price more than doubled in the last year or so: people are even speculating on it [2].

> In factorio, setting up some cable, chest readers and an alarm - but Factorio unmodded can't alert on rate of chest depletion IIRC.

Unmodded can do it for sure. All you need is a clock and a divisor circuit.

Clock circuits are a constant circuit (+1) applied to a flip-flop, so that the flip-flop counts +1 per tick. (+60 per second).

With a second flip-flop circuit, you can read-and-save the looping time. You subtract the saved time from the current clock to see how much time has passed.

You have a 3rd flip-flop save the value of the chest, and calculate (chest - (flip-flop of chest) / (current-clock - saved-clock)).

Blast that value onto a decider circuit (X > Y) hooked up to a simple alarm. Bam. Fully vanilla factorio solution.

If your server doesn't support range headers you don't support half the features of video playback. Without range requests you can't seek to parts of the video that have yet to download. You also can't support the preload attribute.

Edit:

Without range requests the browser can't play a video that hasn't been saved correctly. The MP4 format supports the header atom written to the end of a file, so in cases where a file is streamed to disk a header isn't written until you know the stream is complete and can fill in the details. "Web Optimized" (there's a variety of names) are MP4s with the header atom written at the beginning of the file with the media atoms following.

Without the header data you can't know much about the media tracks in the file so you can't effectively set up a decoder pipeline. A browser will request a file and if it doesn't find the header atom will use a range request to grab the last few kilobytes of the file to grab the header data. It can then set up the decode pipeline and play back the file.

If the server doesn't support range headers and the file isn't "Web Optimized" a browser needs to download the whole file before it can begin playing it. HLS/DASH streams store a lot of data in the manifest file and the MPEG-TS/MP4 chunk streams contain redundant track metadata to inform the decoder pipeline.
a) For almost all developers it's 15%.

b) It's under scrutiny but the legal consensus being formed is that Apple simply needs to allow links to alternate payment systems. It doesn't need to allow sideloading or offer alternate app stores.

c) Some countries are looking at forcing Apple to offer a "choose your phone/mail/calendar app" screen on initial phone purchase which does have precedent and looks far more likely.
Seconded.

It's a door that's better off not opened.

Of course, it's hard to know really good advice until you're well beyond not having taken it.
I don't understand the point of adding this:

> because : by reason of : because of — often used in a humorous way to convey vagueness about the exact reasons for something. This preposition use of because is versatile; it can be used, for example, to avoid delving into the overly technical (“the process works because science”) or to dismiss explanation altogether (“they left because reasons”).

The whole point of a phrase like "because reasons" isn't the use of "because", it's the overly succinct description that follows. "because"'s usage hasn't changed, just acceptable sentence structure.

I sadly don’t know many solutions to this either; I think making mental healthcare more accessible to people would be a good place to start( e.g. publicly funded psychiatrists) but I don’t think that financial illiteracy is really a “mental illness” in the classical sense.
In Britain at least diamorphine hydrochloride (heroin) can be prescribed to individuals.

Perhaps it is female (or family) intelligence and impulse control driving the age at which a female paired off and had children.

Paleolithic life expectancy was something like 22 to 33, and much of that after very high infant/maternal death rates. With such life expectancies, females would likely be bearing children at ages we today would find positively shocking. Simply surviving childbirth would be a huge selection factor for both mother and child. And girls become fertile well before they are fully developed physically (yes?), and I suppose their ability to survive childbirth presumably increases a lot with each year after menarche until they are fully grown.

This might be noticed and communicated culturally. There could certainly be selection advantages to parents and families communicating this to their daughters. On the other hand, adolescents certainly want to have sex at early ages, and our ancestors wouldn't have the same hangups and cultural barriers humans have had for the past several millenia. (Indeed, part of the story here is that developing those hangups is, to some extent, adaptive.). And with shorter lifespans, there would have been some expectation of getting on with it. Sex and mating would have been socially "valid" choices at far earlier ages.

If so a girl (/family?) with the intelligence and self-control to 1) notice this and 2) act to postpone mating, even by a year or two, could do a lot to improve a girl's/woman's odds of surviving childbirth and so passing on her genes. If (a big if?) we presume that these characteristics are related to brain size, that might explain it. (If the ability to notice, and communicate, the advantage of waiting were in the _parents_, that would still be be selective for intelligence/control.)

As human lifespans extended, pressure to reproduce at an early age would diminish, and it would be easier to create and communicate the cultural norms protecting girls from maternity before they were fully grown. Indeed those norms would become adaptive, as having sex too early would be needlessly dangerous. At which point, _all_ girls would be protected from premature pregnancy, and the selection for intelligence/control would diminish.

(Apologies for any ignorance of how the ability to bear children changes after menarche, I have only the standard male knowledge of these things. And for "girl"/"woman" nomenclature issues, the ages in question here are very different than the ones we are today accustomed to.)
> Why would somebody maintain their own library of symbols?

Adding to TD-Linux's answer...

Process variants can create situation where board reliability might be negatively affected by boilerplate PCB patterns. Yes, while things have gotten better over time, you cannot trust anything in any library without, at a minimum, a full check. And, frankly, if you are going to do that, you might as well create your own symbols and PCB patterns.

If you work in aerospace or anything where high reliability is a must, you simply cannot use stock PCB patterns. Everything has to be process qualified and tested. At the extremes you have thermal cycling and vibration testing. High acceleration can rip components right off PCB.

There are other considerations. For example, most library schematic symbols have pins arranged in some fashion that made sense to whoever did the work. This can easily lead to truly convoluted schematics that are the equivalent of spaghetti code. Arranging and spacing pins according to the design one is working on can result in very clean and easy to understand schematics. This can be especially true of analog electronics.

Another case is FPGA's. If you approach FPGA symbols in a generic per-bank style, you can end-up with, again, schematics that are a rats nest nobody can follow. If, on the other hand, you create symbols in the context of the design, things can be massively easier to work with and understand.

Yes, that means you don't use the same symbol for every design. We have created tools to manage this effortlessly. As we transition to KiCAD we are likely to port these over from Altium's VBA to Python and open source them.

Bottom line: The potential liability of delivering a design that fails because you used a third party library can be costly. People with experience have learned this is a false economy. It simply isn't worth the potential consequences, from having to redo boards to product failing in the field.

That said, for quick "non flight-qualified" prototypes and hobby projects, sure.
On the other hand, sometimes, it's straight ahead bad luck.

A chip we use in one of our products is made in a semiconductor fab in Malaysia. It's the only place in the world that makes the chip. That fab has been shut down for about 6 months as the nation struggles with COVID. In the meantime, the inventory in the supply chain, and even customer warehouses, has been picked clean by brokers to be re-sold for high-cost applications like cars and industrial equipment.

We've paid as much as $15.00 for that $0.47 chip. One broker offered them for $50.00.

We haven't found any in more than 2 months.

I know that there are only a few thousand professional cosmologists in the world - maybe only a few hundred.

Honestly, you're right. That's why low-wage employees working in non-goods occupations (like clerks and hospitality) don't get mistreated. It has to do with access to goods, which are easily quantifiable.
