Markets in general are quite good at routing resources and innovation. A perfectly free market, or at least free enough that you're arguing we should remove regulators and social safety nets, is worse at all of those things, and only really great at controlling people, which as the point of those you were replying to.

Also, markets can't allow innovations from the ground up by themselves, the require a government to implement a fragile and inefficient intellectual property system, but that's just nitpicking.
I know many people who either:

1) took ivermectin prophylactically when the vaccine wasn't available, and also got the vaccine when it was.

2) are now vaccinated and have ivermectin on standby in case they test positive.

I know nobody who is currently unvaccinated and still taking ivermectin as prophylactic
I wasn’t making a blanket statement about static IPv4 availability, rather it was an observation from our own market.

That being said, most carriers or major ISPs aren’t actually that hard up for IPv4 space.

By no means will static IPv4s be available on all plans, but merely changing AP or plan type will commonly result in the ability to purchase a static IPv4.

It’s mostly about lubricating with money to find a solution rather than an all out lack of IPv4.

My understanding:

Normally people say exponential, but I think that's a silly term as it is quite a specific term since it means that the exponent is a variable (e.g. 2^x, 3^x, for every n, so n^x). For example, x^2 is super linear, but it isn't exponential. Yet, I'm fairly sure that I've heard people say that something is "exploding exponentially" but what they meant is that it's super linear since they got the faintest clue how much faster their projections are going compared to a linear projection.
I did have device with Symbian S60v3. I browsed internet and it worked perfectly fine, on Opera Mini/Mobile, pages rendered just as on desktop and you just zoomed on area you wanted to read. It did have proper filesystem and explorer available. One time I registered domain, write some placeholder content HTML (on QWERTY keyboard, none of that crap touchscreen keyboards!) and uploaded it through FTP, all on the phone. It ran some games too, including SNES emulation and others. That felt like a pocket computer. I don't think you could do most of these things on first iPhone, it was feature phone by comparison.
I don't know where you live but in the EU eIDAS regulation sees a scanned document as a Simple Electronic Signature (SES). This is the most basic possible form of signing which is accepted.

So within the EU a scanned document is valid though the law does say the method used needs to be proportional to whats at stake.

> software is likely not usable after 3-5 years

Whoa whoa wait! How did we get to this point? Maybe I’m living in the past, but software should work essentially forever. There are no moving parts. No wear/maintenance items. It doesn't distort like a photocopy when loaded to and from media.

The only thing that should cause working software to fail is some underlying change to its foundation: an incompatible OS or browser change or deprecated API, and so on, and we should hold platform vendors accountable for regressions and breakage. I wish platforms took backward compatibility seriously.

Apart from a cosmic ray flipping a bit somewhere, there is no physics reason software should “wear out.” How did this become a fringe point of view?

On feature that I use a lot in Preview is to combine pdf's.
If you e.g. have a pdf invoice and want to combine that with the corresponding pdf receipt from the bank, I just open the two pdf files side by side in thumbnail view and just drag the pages (thumbnails) I want from one document to the other where I want to place them; rearranging the pages (thumbnails) later if I need to in the same thumbnail view. I am a huge fan of Preview! :-)
> You do have a choice, for all of your examples: you can buy an android device. The iOS ecosystem is successful because that is what many people want.

And if they opened up to additional stores or side loading, you would have a choice to stick with only using the Apple one. That choice doesn’t go away. In fact, the vast majority of Android users aren’t installing side stores because the Play Store has what they want. This is why companies like Spotify still distribute there despite fighting Google on fees.

They exist in the US too. There ain't nothin' wrong with an EngD, it's a great terminal degree. But the Doctor of Engineering is not a doctor in the sense being discussed here. Why? Because the definition of a doctor is (or was) someone with a license to teach at an institution of higher learning. That's not the aim of an EngD, at least in the US and many other places: its goal is explicitly to produce an engineer who will use his knowledge in the real world.

The same thing goes for EdD, DPA, etc. These are professional degrees, not teaching/research degrees.
We've had more than one hot water bottle fail and it's resulted in one case in a soaked bed, which was unpleasant and difficult to deal with. I much prefer the failure mode of "catches fire in the microwave". The fire is small (and mostly just a smouldering edge of fabric), easily contained, easily put out, and the failure is easily avoided.

We've used both and settled on the wheat bag, but I recognise that other people will make other choices, and that's fine.
Which can entirely be explained by the fact that we have gotten way way better at detecting cancers since 1993.

I set up a non-public-facing IPv6-only web server last night, so the issues are fresh in my mind! I'm fortunate enough to have an IPv6-capable home connection, and the hosting provider I use (Scaleway) charges extra for assigning IPv4 addresses to machines, so I thought I'd see how easy it would be to save a bit of money and make this machine IPv6-only. I've IP-filtered the host to only my home and my other servers, so having IPv4 support should be a waste.

The machine is now running fine, but I had a few roadblocks setting it up:

• My provisioning scripts download a release of 'dry'[0] from GitHub, which does not support IPv6. I ended up assigning my new machine a temporary IPv4 address and removing it later.

• The scripts also import a key from 'keyserver.ubuntu.com'[1], which, again, does not support IPv6. Attempting to connect just timed out, and if I hadn't just solved the other issue, I would have assumed the host was down.

• There seems to be a bug in Scaleway's cloud firewall (the things it calls Security Groups), where you cannot allow inbound ICMPv6, only standard ICMP (for IPv4). This meant my pings never responded and I thought the machine wasn't up when it was up.

Basically, what I want you to take away from this post is that if you disable IPv6, it's still the case that during maintenance, things are going to break, often mysteriously and with bad error messages, but outside of maintenance, things will likely run smoothly. My machine runs Sentry, and after the problems I had setting it up, I didn't dare run the Sentry './install.sh' script with IPv4 disabled as I didn't trust it to handle that case correctly — and even if the script reported no errors, I wouldn't have trusted there to actually be no errors. Since then, though, it's been running fine, so having an IPv6-only server is certainly possible, even if you have to give in and assign it an IPv4 address at the start, then take it away again later.

This is the difference between analysis of markets as a concept and “believing in the free market” as an ideology.

The latter uses markets as a stand in for morality. When bad outcomes occur, it definitionally cannot be due to the market, but some other bad actors.

Toast is usually buttered, but it's not considered to be a sandwich in and of itself in the United States.

Now, a sandwich can be made with toasted bread, certainly, but in that role it's normally slathered with mayonnaise, mustard, or something of that nature rather than being buttered.

Exception: grilled cheese sandwiches are often buttered, though with those they typically have the butter on the outside. On the inside is either nothing or (my preference) mayonnaise.

we're probably 15-20 years away from "enough people have IPv6 that you can start dropping IPv4". There's zero chance you could make an IPv5 and have any adoption at all in that time.
A new environment with just a handful of apps comes every so often.

In that regard, what are other apps like Briar?

The premise is:

> Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging apps, Briar doesn’t rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the internet’s down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the internet’s up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance

Is it still? I know this was true for a while, but things seem to have been ironed out. I only occasionally have IPv6 (my ISP is doing something weird), but when I do it all seems to work fine.

> Most people don't use styles, or use them improperly, or modify every instance randomly.

To be fair to people who don't know (I agree that it's an important skill): It's kind of Word's fault. Direct formatting is easy while proper styling is hard and undiscoverable AF. People would probably immediately get it if the difficulties were reversed.
In the US, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, passed by most states, clarifies that basically any sound or symbol or process is a valid electronic signature. This is in line with general contract law, under which any manifestation, written or verbal or even non-verbal, that would reasonably be understood as assent, is sufficient to form a contract. Of course, if you want a court to enforce that contract, you're going to have to prove that the other party did provide assent.
I submitted everything to them in Word documents (one document per chapter). They converted those to PDFs after having applied a lot of formatting and illustrating and sent me back the PDFs to review. If I found any mistakes, I marked up the PDF and sent it back to be updated and re-reviewed. So probably a lot of Adobe software?
This comment is so all over the place I don't really know where to begin. First, I would argue it's easier to know and care for one another when one's basic needs are met. You're simply moving up the maslow hierarchy.

Second: I googled this. Some inventor in Switzerland hires an independent consultant to see whether his euth booth is legal. Switzerland is not a scandi country. This is not legal approval by the government.

Third: Sweden has just as high percentage of foreign born population as the US. If anything I would argue american cultural identity is much stronger than Sweden's. Racial and cultural homogeneity is such a tired and lazy argument against safety nets I won't even bother to address it. It's a non sequitur at this point.

> “If you really are nefarious and evil and you really want to find someone, there are things that are much better than an AirTag” (...)

While it's true that there are better ways to stalk people, I think an AirTag brings something to the table that wasn't there before: the normalization of having stalking hardware at hand.

Buying a "stalker kit" requires me to think long and hard about stalking someone. I need to make the decision, buy the hardware, wait for it to be delivered (or, alternatively, walk into the kind of store that sells spy equipment), create an opportunity, and go for it. Most well-adjusted people wouldn't go so far.

But once AirTags normalize having these things in your keychain all the time, the "entry barrier" for stalking is lowered. All it takes is one beer too much and a split-second decision.

Sure, but it has to be understood what resource is being allocated: the labor of the dispossessed. If you don't have dispossessed masses obligated to labor, there's nothing to allocate.

Of course people don't have to face literal starvation to be under control, but the system fundamentally requires that the level of deprivation always be enough to meet the requirement of keeping labor under control.
