In theory sure, but in practice the internal complexity of organizations leave plenty of room for obfuscating that ideal. Throw in nepotism, favoritism, corruption, and an inflated valuation of upper management roles and you've got plenty of jobs that pay well past what they "bring in", which is itself nebulously defined at best, especially in white collar industries. Hell I know some companies that would've been better off just axing some of their c-level suite.
Because inflation was still anywhere from 6-9% on average, but was higher than that for things like housing, healthcare, education, food, and transportation. Holding cash is not "paying" anything, even though you can't see it happen, the purchase power of that cash has deteriorated massively in the past 3 years.

I personally have a hard time going out to a restaurant and getting a 2 person meal for less than say 30-40$. Car market is absolutely through the roof. Housing market, although cooling slightly, is still through the roof. Our base rent went up 15% last year. Gas is now double in my area.

He’s saying that the people who spend money in Seattle don’t care if the chefs leave. That comes with the freedom to choose what to spend on.
hmmm no thanks. i'd very much like to not have to deal with NAT anymore, just some firewall rules instead.

do temporary addresses do nothing?
I'm honestly super suspicious of that number as well.

> Much of EU doesn't rank very low in corruption. What this means is, every 4 years the new government will be re-staffing the "national censorship service" with its cronies.

But Google could challenge that to the EU court, and the EU court isn't full of Bulgarian cronies. Or do you think that the EU court would take the side of Bulgarian cronies, really?

If Bulgaria wanted to censor the internet they would already have their own laws to do it. As you said, only extremely authoritarian countries censors the way you describe here, I doubt Bulgaria would get away with it, they would get kicked out of EU if they start to create a CCP style big brother state.

(I used Bulgaria as an example since it is ranked the most corrupt country in EU)
Yeah I can think of a few games that this doesn't describe, Disco Elysium for example as it has nothing to do with "timing", as they have described it.
The only thing that was bypassed was forced disconnect after losing internet. You still could not save or trade between regions while offline. Server emulator appeared 4 months after release. Official offline mode was released a year after release.
I use a public VPS and Wireguard. Costs $3.50 for the VPS which has a static IP. I host on my laptop. I can take my laptop anywhere in the world there's an Internet connection and my email and web sites continue to work right from the same VPS IP because my laptop connects to the Wireguard server on my VPS when it comes up.
Or it's just damned uncomfortable.

I don't think Microsoft could just make Windows and Office and survive this long. So if you're not on those teams your chances of actually making money directly instead of being expensive advertising dollars are negligible.

Similarly if you're not working on adtech at Google. Your job doesn't actually make money. If you think about it too much you might not be that happy with how your life is going.
It would be pretty cool to be able to program my Roku to do anything I want, rather than be limited to whatever they want. In theory I can connect another device to the TV and use it as a display, but even in that case the Roku software is active. A security researcher (amateur or professional) is going to want to get in there and see what's going on in addition to running through a proxy.

There are also some scenarios (admittedly pretty contrived in our compute-rich world) where your TV computer is the only one available to you, and so it would be in your interest to expand its functions. Imagine a kid in a poor neighborhood - theoretically with just a keyboard and a USB stick he could be using that TV as an internet-connected computer to learn how to program. That's a lot more value than running Netflix, IMHO.
That are fixed to 30 years out?

This is legitimately fascinating to me that someone would offer that deal.

On page 21 we see that only 25% of engineers consider a great/exciting product to be an important work priority, and only 24% consider strong mission/vision. Are 3/4 of engineers just not that interested in what the company is actually building for the world?
> as if that's something that anybody wants.

Of course I do. Why would you not want the option of easily allowing a device to be globally routable if you need it to be?

I think routers should be more explicit about how you set up each new device on a private network anyway. Guest wifi can have a sane default. Private wifi could make a notification pop up on your trusted device, asking you if you want the now device to have access to the internet, and if the internet should have access to the device, and if so, which subnets/countries should be able to access it through which ports.
Declaring that strident criticism of an opinion or perspective is the same as a personal attack on the person who holds it is your assumption, not mine. Good, kind, intelligent people have objectively wrong opinions all the time. This kind of fragility is why The Coddling of the American Mind ended up getting written.
But the IPv6 changes are actually good, right? IPv4 was designed for an entirely different world and IPv6 was designed for this world. You're only going to get one chance to make these kind of improvements.
Realistically they are already running a large scale NAT device anyways, otherwise the v6 only clients wouldn't be able to reach v4 only internet services (hello HN server), and if they had planned to CG-NAT from the start it probably could have all been done on the same pair of internet edge routers for much less than 300k additional expense.
I was living happily in Wyoming when my employer said "move to California, or find another job" which, if you don't know the Wyoming economy, translated to "leave Wyoming for us, leave Wyoming for somebody else, or go work in a coal mine".
Part of what I hated about Product Management at my last role was the consistent helplessness I felt when I was on calls with our customers. I could tell our product wasn't meeting their needs but all I could do was try my best to give the engineers context on how best to eventually meet them.

I remember my first few days on the job just being ripped to shreds by our customers who (understandably) were slighted. Don't miss those days at all.
Why would you need a DNS server? That's what mDNS is for.
Sorry I do not trust the likes of home router vendors to implement a linux firewall correctly

While people may say "NAT is Not security", it is in fact a layer (ahd huge one) in the security onion, that ipV6 is likely going to increase drastically the amount of ransomware and other malware on the public internet simply because that NAT layer is gone
To some degree I agree with your last point. Before the idea of aliens, writers like Plato and Thomas Moore would posit some undiscovered island where they could imagine a culture unlike their own existing, which like with aliens, gave plausibility as to why that culture would have a different history and traditions than their own. Of course they, like many speculative writers today, were really writing about how they wished their own society worked.
We are asking to HashiCorp products to do things they were not designed to do, in configurations that they don't expect to be deployed in. Take a step back, and the idea of a single global namespace bound up with Raft consistency for a fleet deployed in dozens of regions, providing near-real-time state propagation, is just not at all reasonable. Our state propagation needs are much closer to those of a routing protocol than a distributed key-value database.

I have only positive things to say about every HashiCorp product I've worked with since I got here.
It basically has ads with the default home screen setup to show you what's new on ATV+ and iTunes. Slightly more tasteful than McDonald's McDelivery Banner ads but it's essentially the same.
Wonder if ISPs will just let their CG-NAT get overloaded and if you want to send a v4 packet you just have to wait for your time slice on the hardware.

There's so much wishful thinking in what you write...

No, and no, and no.

Nobody cares what Python documentation defines: it's not a standard. Python doesn't have a standard. It's convenient to not have a standard, especially if you don't know what you are doing (and I don't use this pejoratively). This makes things more flexible. This, particularly, benefits you if you only ever have one implementation, because it creates a lot of room for experiments.

This, of course, hampers community contribution. If you don't have standards, you cannot have competing compilers or interpreters: there will always be a flagship and those trailing far, far behind. Standards also ensure that come what may, in the future, you will be able to reproduce you work, if you followed the standard. Otherwise, well, you have Python. Today, you can no longer build Python 3.6 on a modern Linux (I might be wrong, and it's 3.5, don't take my word for it, but it's surprisingly recent), and the current version of Python will not run code written for 3.6. So, you end up with useless code. And, since we are talking about Python, the volume of useless code is astounding.

Compare this to, eg. Linux kernel which is written in C89. Python didn't even exist when this standard was created. Consider what will happen if you try to run code written for Python 2.0 (I think this was the first public release?) today? -- This is how you know the difference between having a standard and not having it.

PS. And of course, you chose to link to something irrelevant. However, this is what you "forgot" to link to:

> The Python installers for the Windows platform usually include the entire standard library and often also include many additional components. For Unix-like operating systems Python is normally provided as a collection of packages, so it may be necessary to use the packaging tools provided with the operating system to obtain some or all of the optional components.

Taken from https://docs.python.org/3/library/index.html

I couldn't find where Python documentation defines what's "optional" in its "standard" library. So, there's no reason to believe that "venv" is in "standard" library or not. Even the authors aren't sure, but, ironically, the authors don't have the authority to tell one way or the other.
> who doesn't want instantaneous global writes

I want to gently note since I see a lot of misunderstanding around Spanner and global writes: Global writes need at least one round trip to each data center, and so they're still subject to the speed of light.
Yes (except in the cases of short sales, where I’ve seen the same). My point was not about who assumes that risk, just pushing back on the idea that people wouldn’t damage a house they were going to be forced out of.
IPv4 cuts it everywhere. IPv6 does not do anything to save the planet. IPv6 does have privacy concerns stated by many on this page. IPv6 could be shut down tomorrow and the Internet would continue working well.
Unless it's a server motherboard, it most likely supports DisplayPort or HDMI, possibly even over Thunderbolt/USB-C?

Legacy compatibility is not an issue (unless it makes things complicated, unreliable or limited in the name of backward compatibility). Lack of modern functionality is.

Similarly, presence IPv4 support in devices is not a problem - lack of IPv6 support is. The comparable issue would be if you have bought a new motherboard but all it supports is VGA - now, that'd be quite inconvenient (even if it's a server board that runs headless 99.99% of the time).
Well, you can switch between profiles, but it wouldn't work like Firefox Containers.
There remains the problem that we've run out of IPv4 addresses. I agree that IPv6 was not the ideal solution to this, but it's the only solution we have.
Why does the IPv4 address need to be publicly exposed outside of a customer’s LAN? I thought you could set up NAT on a router to translate local IPv4 addresses to something IPv6 that is exposed publicly.

Is this simply bad planning from the ISP where they didn’t handle it correctly? Or is there something I’m not understanding about NAT?

I think in an ideal world all devices would be using IPv6. But I thought it would be common knowledge among network engineers that many devices still use IPv4, so you have to either handle it somehow or tell your customers that some of their devices simply won’t work.
Please leave the profession - you lack the required qualification.
It's more than just supply and demand. There are a lot of companies and private investors buying up multiple residential properties to rent out. There are a significant amount of properties simply being rented out on Airbnb/VRBO and their ilk. This is having a measurable impact on housing prices, and making additional housing unavailable to local residents. We need to increase tax penalties on companies and individuals buying up residential properties that aren't their primary residence and municipalities need to do a better enforcing zoning laws that are probably already on the books that should prevent short term rentals in residential areas.

”Lab rats gain more weight from human foods than they do from rat chow with similar nutritional properties because obesity doesn’t come from fat or carbohydrate content, but from contaminants in the food, and human food has more contaminants than the rat chow does, likely from packaging and processing.

Processed foods end up with more contaminants in them — for example, there are 4x more phthalates in Kraft mac and cheese powders than in block cheese, string cheese, and cottage cheese. Another example are these results from the FDA, as reported by the AP. In terms of explaining why the cafeteria diet is so fattening, it’s especially illustrative that grocery store chocolate cake was an extreme outlier, with concentrations of PFPeA more than 100 times higher than chocolate milk.”

Granted, that’s about phthalates, which are widely used as plasticizers, but the same routes apply for PFAS.

IPv6 was enabled about 6 months ago in my area by my ISP. I noticed it was on about a week after they enabled it because I saw funny IPv6 networks I didn’t recognize in a log somewhere. I doubt this national ISP would turn on IPv6 like this without any notification if they were concerned it would cause “consumer pain and no consumer gain”. No pain here, and I’m hosting IPv6 only sites I can easily access from my mobile (with native IPv6) for fun.

Is it possible your ISP’s IPv6 network was problematic? I’m not sure how you can draw the conclusion that “IPv6 has been a failure” given evidence it’s live, in public, serving its purpose. The world has not exploded.
that thread is amazing. Google's stance makes me want to deploy DHCPv6 simply to spite them. I guarantee in 10 years when some Fortune 500 company or top 20 research university IT department, who has no idea about that thread, goes live with a DHCPv6-only IPv6 stack because it's very similar to their IPv4 network, and 30,000 users can't join their Android devices to the campus wifi, this attitude will change

I’ve tried pretty much all of them except Apple TV, and I’d say Roku is the least laggy overall. Our FireTV devices became so laggy they were unusable. Android TV isn’t too bad, but Roku feels a bit more responsive to me.
IP based bans have long been obsolete imo. These days a combination of google captcha tracking and phone number verification is mostly used. A few things like IRC and 4chan still do IP bans which is painfully obvious when you notice you are randomly banned depending on what CG-NAT handed you at the time.
I agree completely except for calling everything an app. Social media is causing societal decay, depression, and many immoral unhealthy things to be normalized. Including nepotism.

I had equity in the outfit, I made my first million from it, and again, I had fun. If the CEI were at home partying, it would have been a different story. But we were all there. Kidding, coding and trying to keep something we were building together alive.
LwIP is common on embedded devices. It has only supported dual stack in the last few years but even if it's possible, there are resource savings when only running v4.
That assumption does seem pretty unlikely a priori. After all, the OpenAI folks added RLHF to GPT-3, presumably did some testing, and then opened it to the public. If the testing noticed more antisocial behavior after adding RLHF, presumably that would not have been the version they opened up.

One might argue that the model was able to successfully hide the antisocial behavior from the testers, but that seems unlikely for a long list of reasons.

> "Straddling An Era: The Life of Mina Edison, Thomas Edison's Partner"

No mention of Home Executive though. What if I just ask it to title the article?

> "Mina Edison: The Brain Behind the Wizard of Menlo Park"

Eh, but that kind of implies she was the one with the science smarts, not Edison - which isn't really what we're going for. I do kinda like the cheeky reference to Edison 'the wizard of menlo park' without explicitly mentioning Thomas Edison.

That's actually interesting. Still not perfect, but does seem like a 'better' title than just her name.

I think the positive net affect of immigration on the economy far outweighs any negatives associated with it.
Control access to the information so that it is less likely to escape to their competitors. They are in competition with each other and no one wants the other to know where they are making their best money.

The real problem is that when a fishery is in decline due to over-fishing, we have no effective way of detecting that condition until there is a serious problem and local stocks, which may be migratory species anyway that are only available seasonally, are near the point where they can't recover.

Each captain sees a small part of the elephant and to him, that elephant is there, it is healthy, and it is available for exploitation. When they go back to harbor they compare notes and it could take a lot of time for any of them to acknowledge that catch levels of some species are down and that they are having to go farther out or to locate new areas that have not been hit as hard.

I don't see a problem with a government agency with the responsibility of safeguarding the health of offshore assets like fish stocks and habitat having precise tools to allow them to determine where the fish are being taken. If this agency did not exist then over-fishing would be the norm as each charter boat did the best to maximize the fun for the clients until they had fished themselves out of a job as the fisheries collapse. In the absence of effective regulation, everyone does their own thing with no regard for anything except maximizing their own profitability. This is the way (of the world).
If that were true it would mean there would be a shortage of experienced engineers which should make them worth more.
I agree about as much with the idea that the Bay Area is the intellectual capital of the world as I do with the idea that "STEM PhDs per capita" is somehow a measure of intellect.
Not going to lie, I just turn IPv6 off on my router because I don't fully understand it and because I pay a little extra for a block of 3 IPv4 addresses.
> I’ve seen many supposedly senior engineers that claimed they didn’t want to implement ipv6 because anyone could connect to hosts from “outside”

I had this argument with the head of dev ops at my previous work. They claimed IPv6/dual stack networks were a security risk that couldn’t possibly be tolerated. The fact that they were going to be private sunsets, and would have a firewall, NACL’s, etc was lost on them.
Any reason to frame this argument as contrarian? Apart from your decision to label the author so - presumably for the sake of legitimizing your argument?
Sure, let me bust my phone calculator out in a deli with customers while wearing food service gloves.

The model is very easy to break down, all to learn something ONCE.

Here's the difference:
You know fractions everywhere and you don't have to think about it more than 2s without your phone because you are math literate.
OR
Every time someone asks you something, you take 5s to pull out your phone type the numbers (hopefully correctly), and you get your decimal answer that you can hopefully interpret.
