There are plenty of reasons to dislike IPv6 that are much less shallow. Like, it's overcomplicated, not backwards compatible, doesn't actually solve the NAT problems for home users because of how ISPs work in the real world, etc.
>Brenda presented me with one option: Company S. I said I was surprised at how high Company S's premium was. Brenda told me that Company S had by far the lowest premium. I asked if she had called the company that provided the insurance for my previous house.

>The new guy was able to arrange new coverage for me with an insurance premium 15% lower than the one Brenda had gotten me.

>Brenda had arranged too much insurance for me; I was paying to have the Company S agree to spend up to $X to rebuild my house, but rebuilding the house couldn't possibly cost more than $⅔X.

I honestly don't understand the approach of blindly trusting someone with a clear incentive to extract the maximum amount of cash from you, and then be surprised that they did what they were incentivized to do. Also, the general rule of thumb is that middlemen tend to increase prices and reduce efficiency, so unless there's a legal requirement to conduct business through them (e.g. car dealerships), it's always better to go directly to the vendor.

There's also a particular type of middlemen with asymmetric incentives (i.e. rewarded if the deal goes though, but not penalized if it fails). This setup usually attracts the most lazy and useless kind of people that would just sit on their ass, reassuring you that everything is great, and would then act surprised and shrug once it all goes to hell. Because, well, they still get their commission from the other contracts that panned out (with no help from them).

I don't know if it's specific to Canada, but when I needed to get house insurance, I just went directly to several insurance companies, answered the questionnaires and got estimates. I then got an appointment with the one I chose and was able to get a very itemized quote (fire/theft/flood/etc) and even tweak it (e.g. lower the rate by raising deductibles). No sit-on-their-ass middleman would do this for me.

Also, on a side note, when you are buying a house, you usually start with a conditional offer that gives you about a week to do a house inspection and secure a mortgage, before committing to the purchase. Doing a thorough house inspection at that point would cost you about $500 and would find all the issues that bothered the insurance company BEFORE you make the final decision whether you want that house for that price.
The headline is rather pedantic and misleading, given that this was a target set 10 years ago and the reality is:

It is understood that it's not 100% effective, we enforce these restrictions upon ourselves in part so that we just slow it down and spread it out over time, so that medical centers are not overwhelmed and unable to provide care to those who really it, so that we have time to create better and better therapeutics.

Some gov't services our users need to integrate with have moved to M2M OAuth/OIDC, using organization certificates for authentication.

Suddenly our customers, most of who have never heard of certificates before, has to figure out how to order the right kind of certificate, figure out which of the two or three certificates they get in the mail to install in our application, and how to extract the certificate from the password-protected, zipped PDF file in the separate mail. The password for the PDF was of course sent as an SMS...

Then they have to log in to the centralized authorization service and configure the integration access, where including the correct scopes is of course essential. Yet another term our users have never heard of and don't understand. Of course this is all very new, so the setup page has changed several times during the last year, so our guides keep getting outdated.

Secondly the whole token exchange thing is quite opaque. If there's something wrong with the certificate or the returned token, it can be quite difficult to figure out what's wrong from our end.

So far it's been quite the support nightmare. Heck even some of our support folks struggle with how all the pieces fit together and what to do (some have more domain than technical knowledge).

But when it works, it's quite nice.
Your response reminds me of a case where a Russian citizen who operated an online gambling site went on vacation to some Caribbean Island. Except he never made it because the plane he was on made an unscheduled stop in Florida. The FBI also happened to be waiting for the plane to land and he got arrested. Anyone know what I'm talking about? It would've taken place around mid-2000s.
Might be possible, but at least in parts of India, vegetarian is extremely rare among all hindus (this is the case at least in West Bengal where my family is from).

In other parts of India, vegetarian is kind of the norm, amongst all hindus, and many non-hindus as well.

See for example: https://www.worthview.com/vegetarians-vs-non-vegetarians-per...

I use hi temp wheel bearing grease for the lug nut lube, as it won't melt and run when hot. Don't want grease dripping on the brakes! The amount is also a tiny dab, half a drop is plenty. I don't use a torque wrench, just give em a hard twist, lower the tire to contact the ground, then twist them all again just to be sure.
I work in IT security and this overzealous blocking is also a problem. Many sites with great security info are blocked because of the "hacking" category. Um yeah that's work-related for me so...

I'm surprised they didn't just block tor though. I'm sure we do though I've never tried :) Our proxy MITMs everything.
No (sort of). You're not looking for torque, you're looking for tension on the bolt as it stretches. Torque is just a proxy

At some %, some people will opt for cheaper v6 only VPSs. Perhaps hosting in countries starved of addresses will switch to v6 only as well. Or all v4 addresses will get given to servers and all consumers will be on some translation layer.
Mostly a tech demo of something that hasn't really been shown to be possible until now. We've seen lots of GPU heavy models that achieve similar things like this (often requiring VRAM outside what most consumer GPUs can usually handle), but here I show (after a lot of effort on my part) that cool effects like that are in fact possible to make run decently fast even on mobile web. Hopefully it's inspirational and might nudge some people to try making more cool creative tfjs models that can run on the device (preserving privacy and activating a new layer of fun that's only possible once you get these things real time) rather than hidden behind an API. (I thought that would happen 5 years ago but the phase shift still hasn't really happened for some reason.)
Nothing at all! It does its job very well.

You hit the nail pretty much on the head. While you're correct that a 4chan-like mechanism would provide a means of authentication, the hash would not be human-recognizable easily (basically, not meaningful). Using a naming block chain like Handshake, you essentially solve Zooko's Trilemma [1].

> If those identifiers contain sensitive data, such as customer IDs, you should encrypt the view state data in addition to or instead of sending the page over SSL.

It would be hilarious if those docs got updated to say customer IDs or SSNs. Lol.

The craziest part is that if you had made that same mistake and leaked a bunch of SSNs the same government would be fining you and accusing you of being negligent. It's insane.
Oh sorry, I thought it was an analogy to income or some other 'real world' tax.

So then I think you're saying if you don't fix it, and some percentage of everything you do adds more of it, eventually in the limit you're doing nothing more than some fixed point of progress? 'Take half the previous step forward' sort of thing.

This one probably is the best

"The world in which IPv6 was a good design" https://apenwarr.ca/log/20170810
> ...trustless decentralized computing.

That's a means, not an end, and has no intrinsic value. Any value it has is extrinsic - derived from its applications. Of which there are none that are better handled that way.

TCP/IP has no intrinsic value either. What's built on it has value.

> ...withdraw/transfer/borrow/lend with no possible downtime or fraud is extremely appealing.

Really? No possibility of fraud? Are you sure? Might want to click through the link at the top of the page. Didn't half of DeFi go down with AWS? Didn't Solana get DDOSd and also have to get rebooted recently? Can't you nuke any NFT on OpenSea from orbit by filing a DMCA complaint with Google? I suggest this position is aspirational... at best.

> If you really believe all of these contracts will inevitably go pear shaped, are the billions not enough incentive for you to go find the bugs yourself?

That's not my area of expertise, but there are plenty of folks for whom it is. I trust this task is in good hands already.

> Yes, these people are called "early adopters". They're excited by new technologies, even when they involve risk. You should try it sometime.

I do, when those new technologies have value. I've been daily-driving Rust since 2015. I've been following crypto since 2016, I've used a number of chains a number of times. I heated my condo mining ETH for a while on a 3090. Closed out the position via dex. It's pretty dang pointless. Not everything new is good.
> In dire circumstances, find … -print0 | xargs -0 second_script is usually my fallback, but that has pitfalls as well.

What are the pitfalls?
> "What's this? I never needed it before, what's the sysctl to turn it off?"

Of course, turning off IPv6 fixed a lot of connectivity issues, at least back in the day. Maybe it's better now, but I see no benefit in re-enabling it. What's the value-add?
I think if you take the strictest possible quarantine and test paradigms and even those are failing, its certainly fair to call them ineffective.
> And solar won't be replacing the nuclear plants that are being shut down. Coal and gas will.

I already stated that I don't support the shutting down of existing nuclear plants. But it hardly matters, the plants shutting down a very small part of the global grid, what matters is the future of the grid. Solar and wind with storage should be the future of the grid.

I've also come across this at a major international company. Came there to install an update. Too big to email so I had a clean USB stick. No way to use it in their workstations though, so the IT guy offered to just walk to the DC and plug it directly into the server.

Pretty sure that was not the intention of that policy. The problem is, that they didn't seem to have considered this usecase at all. More security theater than anything.
Many bolts have a lubed spec and a dry spec. The dry one is, of course, completely unreliable. If it is lubed and ain't turning smoothly, take it out and clean the threads. Or get a better grade of bolts.

The issue is that Rust doesn't allow static borrowing across thread boundaries (except for globals), which necessitates cloning the arc. This is why they chose to instead copy the contents and use thread locals (may be wrong - skimmed the article).

I've had this complaint for over a year, and nobody is addressing it. Arcs are absolutely ubiquitous, it can come back and bite anytime, it's just very hard to know upfront where a bottleneck is and most people will never profile to this extent.

I really wish Rust would reconsider the decision to throw its hands up at non-lexical destruction guarantees. This is related to the thread::scoped removal from 2015 (IIRC), after which mem::forget was added. Anyway, I'm rambling. There's tons to read for the curious.

The simplest mitigation right now is to clone arcs only when necessary, and instead use static references of those arcs whenever possible (especially hot paths). It's a mess for refactors and easy to miss, but better than nothing.
Hey dang, seriously are you completely delusional or are you so open minded that your brain fell out? That guy is following and retweeting actual paid propagandists for which is enough documented evidence out there and you're still preaching some completely out of touch nonsense, what the hell is wrong with you man?

You realized yourself that this guy is talking nonstop about china for the past years, did you bother to read for a second what this guy is actually regurgitating? They are certified CCP talking points white washing and justifying ethnic cleansing, are you that stuck up and confused to be blind to that?

You criticize people who call out dangerous and manipulative narratives, but protect those who are demonstrably and with certainty propagandists, citing guidelines which they are also clearly breaking to begin with.

Instead of copy pasting those guidelines try reading them yourself once in a while. You probably would even classify a holocaust denier as someone who has 'just strong opinions'. Go touch some grass Dang, this forum has completely melted your brain and spare people your self righteous stuck up babble.

You either have some severe conflict of interest in this discussion or extremely naive and out of touch or straight up evil. My bet is on all three.
Words like angst or ersatz are English words borrowed from German. The German words are written identically (except capitalisation), but the meaning of the English word is much more specific than the German "original". Meanwhile the word "Blitz" has completely district meanings in English and German. In English it's a sudden concerted effort, in German it's lightning. Despite the English word originating from German, they don't share a meaning at all
It sounds like potentially a very decent feat. Some writeup would be nice, even in a comment. How does it work? What problems did you encounter? etc.
The issue of "originality" raised its head as soon as photography evolved beyond the daguerreotype (which could not be reproduced). As soon as you had a negative from which a print could be produced, you can theoretically produce infinite indistinguishable prints.

Photographs exist as art basically because the photographer or their agent promise to only produce a limited number of prints from an original.
Exactly. It's the employer's property, and aren't there such things as devices you own?

Why blur the lines on something like that? This reads more like an overreaction to a lapse of judgment more than anything else.
Not sure whether to cry or laugh
Yeah I do check that as well. There will be a post on that today.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and encouragement.
> those are functions that can only be carried out by the government

I don’t think there is anything that only the government can provide. Look at countries around the world and there are examples where governments doesn’t provide public roads, police, laws, health care etc. so people hire their own security, pay for their own education/health etc. Bribe judges to get the ruling they want etc. Even the military used to be private in Europe. With governments hiring private armies to commit war. I personally would not want to live in those countries (they are often called “failed states” for a reason) but they do exist.

So I think the argument that there are things only governments can provide is incorrect. There might be things you happen to want the government to pay for but there doesn’t seem to be an underlying logical argument for why you choose those and not others?
Martin Monti is somewhat well-known for exploring similar cases: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5741595/.

While it seems highly likely that at least some “minimally conscious” patients do, in fact, have much greater interior consciousness than we might have thought, I also think that these stories tend to underemphasize the potentially fragmentary nature of consciousness.

A patient who is able to respond to commands to “visualize playing tennis” may be fully and completely conscious, with only a motor defect—or they might be much less conscious than that, but nonetheless able to process spoken commands and trigger relevant neural activity in response. From the few cases I’ve read, it seems like the bandwidth (so to speak) of the “imagine this if yes, that if no” method of communicating via fMRI is far too limited to draw conclusions about exactly what the interior experience of the patient is.

Not to say this research isn’t interesting. It’s fascinating. But I do sometimes think it makes the same sort of mistakes Benjamin Libet famously did, in making assumptions about the indivisibility of consciousness.
I've long felt there needs to be some sort of dramatization of the lives of Asian, specifically South Asian(*), engineers and their contributions to modern technology. I feel like the average westerner just doesn't appreciate the sacrifices and hard work that have gone into the technology they base their modern lives on.

* No offense to non-South Asians, it's just those are the folks I worked side by side with in the 00's and saw working multiple jobs and working themselves to death in a foreign land. Certainly this is nothing new in the history of the world, but I feel like the particular angle of their contributions to cell phones and the internet is worthy of a movie or something.
The approach in this case was: I was in the middle of buying a house and had a hundred other details to attend to. Investigating Brenda's brokering wasn't in the top fifty.
I knew at the time that I could shop around for insurance once everything else was dealt with, so there was no reason to prioritize getting the best possible deal on the insurance.

And in fact the amount by which I was being overcharged was relatively small.
I think the article present a lot of data, but misses the point entirely.

Upper caste Hindus lead TECH firms abroad, as they have access to higher education. Commerce castes lead RETAIL businesses back in India. They miss the massive immigration of blue collar Indian workers too.

They do a lot of speculation but completely ignore the business domain aspect, and hence don’t pose a logical answer to the question they themselves present. Quite shoddy journalism.
What is good enough though?

I always thought the whole prevention thing is because we want to “flatten the curve”, remember? Not to prevent every single infection, which is impossible.
Afaik that solution isn't available on any existing consumer electronics for legacy bt audio e.g. a2dp.
It's obvious that you are a troll.
You read DOG as someone yelling ‘dog’, not as a different word to ‘dog’. And Dog as a significant dog, not a significant something else.

Imagine if you could only search for ‘dog’ if you had to specify whether the author yelled it or not before you could find it.
I was considering Crystal for Advent of Code. But when I checked it out, it seemed a lot of the shards (packages) had last commits in the "2-4 years ago" range. And one of the links in the official website's Community page (https://crystal-lang.org/community) lead to a domain squatter page (crystalshards.xyz), which raised questions of staleness.

It seems to have since been fixed to https://crystalshards.org, which does work, so I guess I just caught it in an unfortunate transitional period. I'll give Crystal a look again, thanks for the recommendation.

(Also, I didn't know about downside 1 (no Windows version) - I guess that partly explains the small community.)
They are actively resisting it, it is not even that they are not ready.
NAT not being designed for security does not negate the effect of security it does have. This goes to the 80/20 rule, IPv6 is a security nightmare if not deployed correctly, and I am surprised more home users have not gotten hit with this security time bomb
Before the pandemic I used to go to meetups frequently. You will see and interact with same the people over and over again, so there a chance that you can get friends that way.
- Find a new job, feeling burnt out and lack motivation currently

- Figure out my housing situation (hopefully move in with a friend, otherwise find roommates), moved back in with my parents after living alone during COVID which was terrible for my mental health

- Get a pet

- Volunteer at an animal shelter

- Be more social

All in all, just trying to rebuild my mental stability is top priority, the last three years have really taken its toll on me and I’m generally just scared of where I’m at right now :(
Oh yeah; burnout was reversible. In my case: sleep, ketosis, senolytics, and yoga. YMMV
Viruses are interesting things. I once enjoyed a case study about an outbreak of common cold on an Antarctic base that only happened after 17 weeks of isolation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2130424/

(I'm no virologist but given that the common cold didn't seem to be impacted by the severe lockdowns in the UK at all, whereas flu was, I've gotten the - uneducated - feeling the cold is a bit like some STDs in the way it can linger around in people and pop up whenever the conditions are right. Maybe some COVID variant will end up similarly persistent and endemic?)
I was mind blown when I found my Indian friend fully supports caste system, that was like finding out your old and closest friend is KKK member and fully supports it.
I’m not getting your point here, won’t there always be inherent trade offs?

If you scale the specified torque, you risk over-tensioning.

If you scale the dimensions of the fastener, that has lots of consequences.

Is there some safety factor here you can add “for free” that I’m not seeing?

Otherwise, why is it that you “generally” pre-empt this caveat with safety factor versus coming up with a more reliable way to achieve the right tension?
Like I said, no system is perfect. It’s a matter of the overall results. You’ll always find individual lapses unfortunately, and we always need to hold authorities to account. Anyway it’s good that there was an uproar about that case.
Most probably people not staying in quarantine or still get infected in transit somehow.
Intel Graphics support?

That means it might make a decent personal desktop OS for Intel NUC devices.
