I'm a bit perplexed by the title. The article distinguishes between an early, anonymous, unregulated internet culture -- which the NFT club seems to resemble -- and contemporary internet people who "decided to make the internet boring."

As cartoonish as it is, I buy that distinction. But usually, when people make it, they're making a plea for the old internet. The writer of this article, however, doesn't seem to be doing that. The milady community feels, "a little bit, like that internet from 1995"; it is unlike social media communities where you are "constantly performing your personality" and "Liking is a personal endorsement." Again, when people make that distinction, they're usually writing against likes, personality, and "iPhone photography of yourself."

So regarding the title: does she not want to be either type of internet person? Or is "normie" social media engagement ok?

Are EU firms being scrutinized as much as American ones? Are these GDPR penalties on American businesses a protectionist measure by the EU?
Yes. When we got a shipment of 1000+ servers that are all supposed to be cabled the same way, both internally and externally, the device naming made it easy to see when something got messed up. This allowed us to hold the system builder accountable, simplify our configuration management, and reduce the amount of configuration discovery a engineer needed to do during an incident.
> I speculate [fork] isn't common, or at least it isn't required for ordinary desktop apps.

From a science perspective, the ability to fork is really convenient for parallel processing. Load some data and then fork a pool of worker processes, and they can all read almost free copies of that data. This is much easier than setting up shared memory. It's a bigger deal on an HPC machine with 128 cores than a laptop with 8 cores, but even on a laptop it's a significant point in favour of Linux.

Getting rid of it in Linux would also be going against Linus' rule that the kernel never breaks userspace.

I recommend reading some of the original economic theory that undermines the “Chicago School” free market thinking of Milton Friedman and others who it seems you are so fed up with.

One good place to start might be the work of Friedrich Hayek.

If you are like me, you might start to have a more nuanced view than “It’s not true!!”.

Hayek for example despite being in many ways the father of this work was very explicit about the role of government and the many areas he considered government intervention essential.

> Why are we stuck with nat in 2022 again? Why did we not map the 32 bits of ipv4 to ipv6?

Oh, you mean like this:

> Addresses in this group consist of an 80-bit prefix of zeros, the next 16 bits are ones, and the remaining, least-significant 32 bits contain the IPv4 address. For example, ::ffff:192.0.2.128 represents the IPv4 address 192.0.2.128. A previous format, called "IPv4-compatible IPv6 address", was ::192.0.2.128; however, this method is deprecated.[61]

* https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4291#section-2-5-5

You still need to upgrade bit of networking kit between the source and destination to understand "IPv4+", and this (lack of) upgrading and enabling is what is hampering deployment.

What makes you think that companies would have been willing to make the effort to deploy "IPv4+" any more than IPv6?

> Because it is a mess. Stop denying that. If ipv6 was designed to be easily deployed via backwards compatibility then we would be using ipv6 already.

Backwards compatibile IPv6 was impossible.

IPv4 has 32 bits of address. Anything after IPv4 needed >32 bits of address. How do you fit in >32b in a data structure that is 32b? You cannot.

So you have to go an replace every bit of networking code out there to change the data structures. You know, like was done to deploy IPv6.

It’s a fun narrative but it’s bullshit right? The old radar and the new radar they are putting in are not the same part. So “supply chain” is the wrong answer.

The new radar has been under development at Tesla. The old radar didn’t have the resolution to be useful. Elon was actually clear from the start that they needed to build a better radar that didn’t currently exist for it to be useful.

But if you hate Elon it’s easier to call it a con than to understand the technical details.

Best way way I can think of to provide a tl;dr is that we live in a society where convergence towards the optimum is the goal. We have all this data to help us make these informed decisions. Companies (and people) feel a need, implicit or otherwise, to target the largest audience possible, which is just another way of saying that they're trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

My personal favorite example of this is how recently remodeled homes, particularly the ones that are trying to be sold, all have the same sort of grayish "trendy" minimalist interior. Odds are, they were advised to make their home look this way because it's the most broadly-appealing home interior that exists out there, supported by "the data". If you make your home look like this then you'll have more buyers, or so the logic goes.

Once you know about it though, you see it everywhere.

> “She was then ruined by crypto” — as if she’s some innocent victim

I suppose we're reading nuance differently. Madoff was an accomplished financier and chair of the NYSE. His reputation was ruined by the Ponzi scheme. Sure, it's a passive voice. But that's far from exonerating.

Similar to how someone can ask why a murderer wound up murdering, identifying elements from their childhood, et cetera, that explain and maybe even make them sympathetic, all without exonerating them. (In that case, I would argue there is valid victimhood in the perpetrator's story. That doesn't make them less guilty. And I haven't seen any claims of victimhood in Ellison's case, as we did in e.g. Holmes's.)

To have stopped recruiting as soon as the first layoff plan (which was developed at least 3 months ago, repeatedly workshopped, and run by the board) was built.

Also, give people more lead. 4 months salary is fine, but if you're on a visa, you're still pretty fucked. December 7 to Jan 5 is dead for recruiting, so realistically, you have < 30 days in which to find a new gig.
I’m quite impressed that Facebook has lasted this long with its business model. A combination of being based out of the US, where legislators look the other way if jobs are being created and taxes paid, and the snail-like movement of European law makers and enforcers, allowed companies like Facebook to become highly profitable spy machines.

It was never going to last, but it lasted far longer than I thought it would. Just look at TikTok as an example. A literal spy app by communist China that experts have been warning about for years, and it’s still functioning with little resistance. Amazing.

Ask HN: How does an old timer find contract work
I'm 72 years old and have been programming professionally since I was 27. I’ve kept up with the times reasonably well, considering that no one can now keep up with more than a few branches of software’s evolution. Sparing you the history: over the past 8 years I’ve worked extensively with javascript, full stack, taught full stack at a bootcamp for a year, written a couple very large applications, and worked a bit on other projects.

I would like to find more opportunities to continue doing what I love the most. At this stage contract work ranging from ~20 hours per week up to > 40 hours per week occasionally is probably the best value.

Yes, there is a question.

How should I go about finding such jobs?

(Also, I’m unclear about how to briefly fit my 45 years experience into a resume format)
The WSJ article mentioned: [1]

"Alameda, FTX Executives Are Said to Have Known FTX Was Using Customer Funds."

So, she knew.

In a prosecutor's office, this is called "receiving stolen property". At least in California, where Alameda was nominally headquartered, receiving embezzled stolen property is a felony.[2] Some states don't define receiving stolen property to include embezzled property, but California apparently does. However, "intent to return" is a defense in California, but not in all states. This was nominally a "loan". Whether a jury will buy that argument remains to be seen.

Something for a court to sort out. Only 3 years in jail, max, though.

Indeed. The human mind is wildly talented at lying to us in sometimes sinister ways.

It's hard to imagine if you haven't been there, but in the moment you are seriously thinking about it, your mind can truly convince you that your family/spouse/kids/friends/work/church/etc will all be better off without you, even though that is virtually never true. Don't trust your mind when it tells you things like that.
Everyone in crypto endlessly criticized governments (inevitable collapse of fiat, dumb regulators), traditional finance (slow greedy), the media (don't get it).

Now, as FTX unravels people say the media was complicit. Politicians were bought off. It's more proof the establishment was corrupt! All roads seem to lead to this dark world view.
The point as it stands is inappropriate and ultimately wrong. Or are you saying rationalization of poorly-thought-out lines of argument trumps respecting people in all their complexity?
We are IPv6-only on our institute-internal CPU compute cluster based on slurm. Only the head node has an IPv4 address, so that it can be reached from IPv4 only clients (sadly, there are still quite a lot). All nodes inside the cluster talk over IPv6. And all other computers with IPv6 access use that to communicate to the head node. We are transitioning to IPv6-only for internal services and try to avoid using IPv4 addresses, only going back to it when something needs to be accessed from the outside.

Sadly, our local ISP is still IPv4-only, meaning we cannot even access our IPv6 hosts while at home, so we need to fall-back to IPv4 quite a lot. Also, the Cisco VPN is still IPv4 only (because of lacking resources to add IPv6 support), so not even the VPN helps. We need to jump over some dual-stack host then.

When speaking to the local ISP, they just reply that it's not planned soon, they don't have resources for it, and "they evaluated IPv6 and don't have a reason to support it". Me/us giving them reasons was not enough it seems.

Huh, so I can effectively use a NAT64 gateway as an unauthenticated open proxy? Let's try it. First look up the IPv4 for a site that reads back your IP address:

$ dig +short a icanhazip.com
104.18.115.97
104.18.114.97

(Those are Cloudflare IP; icanhazip.com is hosted on CF.) Next, try connecting to the IP-readback site via a NAT64 gateway, but presenting the correct Host header so that Cloudflare knows what to do with the request:

$ curl -6 -k -H 'Host: icanhazip.com' https://[2001:67c:2960:6464::104.18.115.97]/
141.98.136.43

OK, it reads back an IPv4...

$ dig +short -x 141.98.136.43
de-fra2-nat641.level66.network.

...with a PTR record associated with level66.network, which was the NAT64 gateway we chose.

How does this not see more abuse by bad actors? I guess it probably does, which is why there are so few of these public gateways?

Depends on your deviation.

And how do you mean "specific and vague".

IQ isn't precise because like all of our physical attributes, there's wiggle room. Like how you may think you're a certain height, but you actually fluctuate throughout the day. Same with weight. Or strength. Or speed. IQ is a rough measure. It can really only tell us what you get when you take the test. But if you take it several times, it should fall within a range.

And a good IQ test shouldn't test knowledge. It should test reasoning, spatial ability, pattern matching, etc. You know, the factors that make up our raw processing power.

Are you saying it's "specific and vague" because it's an imprecise measure of a specific ability? That wouldn't be "specific and vague" in the way you mean. You could say it's a vague claim about a specific thing, but that's not mysterious.
Hugo. A movie I had mixed feelings about. I liked the stereoscopy in Hugo because it can add a lot to human interactions (for one thing the two eyes see a little bit more of the muscles around the edge of the face which are obscured in a single view), but unfortunately the business model of ‘pay more for 3d’ and the fact that 20% or so of people are stereo blind makes 3d a tough sell for most movies. But yet there is something a little sleazy and self-serving about movies that celebrate movies.
No, that point is clear, it's just callous and disrespectful.
> even the most unassuming building […] will influence the lives of thousands of people (if only because they see it and seeing it makes their day a bit better or worse)

This bears repeating.

How should we build, knowing that?
Call me blunt, but ive come to the conclusion most people arent intelligent enough to create complex abstractions
The following steps work for me.
- List all the projects on a spreadsheet
- Under each project list tasks you have to do
- Assign a status eg Backlog, Doing, Done to each task
(maybe assign colors for status (green for Done, orange for Doing, red for backlog))
- Get to work

In terms of which project to finish, I would start with one I would benefit from immediately
eg If I have a task I do manually and come up with an automated way to completing that task,
I would totally do that first.

Good luck

Addressing your two points:

1) One device that does everything will work well if it does everything well. I can take a laptop anywhere and have a usable computer just about everywhere. A phone dock works in locations where you visit often and have a dock, and I wouldn't trust docks in locations I don't control. If I want to work at a coffee store or in a car I can't use a dock.

2) Human design needs to be centered around humans. Humans are designed to rapidly take in lots of information through vision. Designing a device that removes the primary interface between human senses and the device is making that device significantly less useful. I would guess that 90% of the time I spend on my phone is spent reading. I don't want to be read to, but I already have that option if I want. Purposely ruining the device UI and its primary purpose in an attempt to reduce "phone staring" is directly hostile to users. Any sort of general computing device should have the ability to engage directly with your most detailed and useful sense.

This can work with the fiber + LTE example, and with the rat example, but does not cover the "modem crash" example. The ADSL modem does not know its old prefix, and thus cannot send zero-expiry-time announcements for it.

Also consider a case where there is an ADSL modem (with the ISP giving out /56 via prefix delegation) and a home lab with virtual machines, that are behind a virtualization host, which grabs a subprefix (let's say a /64, separate from the main home LAN /64 prefix) for its VMs from the modem via DHCPv6. While there is indeed a mechanism for flash renumbering over SLAAC, which may work for devices in the home LAN, there is also a need to invalidate the subprefix delegated for virtual machines via DHCPv6 through the virtualization host. Last time I checked, this is not implemented anywhere.
