Although the org sizes may be large, the smaller subgroups within run like smaller semi-independent companies. They have their own business targets, roadmaps and backlogs just like any start up or mid-sized company. Some of the most productive times I have had have been at >100k companies.
I was (by default) part of a ISP based NAT. I play counterstrike online, and my ping was 80ms... calling them up and getting it disabled, dropped it to 30ms.

being behind their NAT caused all sorts of issues that i didnt realise they were causing... stuff like UPnP didnt work right, opening ports wasnt working right... everything was all over the place.

Universal agreement is not required, that's why wars happen to resolve most fundamental disagreements like this.

A human right is a right humans enjoy for no other reason than being a human. Despite my first paragraph, certain things like surviving or not getting harmed/punished simply because you exist are near-universally accepted as human rights, but again, like obligations, rights only have meaning if they can be enforced. The human part of human rights is critical because it transcends laws created by people. In essence, they are rights given to a person by their creator. This is why human rights, as ordained by the Creator is used as foundational reasoning behind the US war of independence and civil wars.

Both slavery and King George's tyranny were lawful but the law was rejected because a right given to humans beyond the authority of any government to regulate was violated.

This is one if the reasons why I passionately hate communism, because they don't enforce mere secular agnosticism but explicit atheism because anything short of that allowd the people to reason and challenge authority imposed on them that is absolute and unquestionable. You can't challenge the CCP and tell them you will hold a religious service without permit at your home because it is your right as a human to believe what you want and share that belief because under that regime there is no authority over humans above the government and as such human rights are defined by the government and is beyond challenge.

Ultimately, what the military (or victor military of a conflict) allows to be your human right is what is practiced.

> but it does not mean he is good at anything else.

Possibly, but it's pretty hard/impossible for Russians who might be good in geopolitics/public administration/etc. to rise to a position where anybody would be willing to listen to them.

Just like most famous dissidents in the USSR were scientists, artists etc. because any person even marginally related to politics was either working for the state/party or was heavily tainted by association with it. There were simply no venues for an independent opposition to form. Putin's Russia is not at all different from the post 50s USSR in this way.

Good because Russia is the opposite of a 'sane' country.

The language exists because of AdWords, they had recently migrated from GWT to AngularDart when everything fell down, regarding Chrome team jumping off the DartiumVM integration, eventually with all this process most key designers like Gilad Bracha, and Kasper Lund leaving the project.

When Flutter came around, for whatever reason they decided to pick Dart, the original prototype was in JavaScript (the official reason being it wasn't good enough given the language semantics), and Dart 2.0 effort started, with the language gaining strong typing (it was dynamic with optional typing in Dart 1.0), and AOT compilation support.

> Not paranoid but just want to know if this tool can be downloaded once and run from browser forever -- without having to disable internet.

You can turn off Internet for a single tab through Chrome's dev tools. F12, Network, change from "No throttling" to "Offline." Would be a bit annoying to do each time you use the app though.

Unfortunately not aware of a quick easy way to cut off Internet to a single tab in Firefox, but if you're fine temporarily killing Internet access to the entire browser (all tabs), you can do Alt > File > Work Offline. With the keyboard shortcuts (Alt > F > K) it's actually very fast to do.

It would be nice though if you opened a local .html file if it by default was cut off from accessing the Internet until it asked for and was granted permission by the user, much like GPS, webcam and mic use are. Would be much more convenient than the two options above (which require you to remember to do that each time you use the app.)

I don't believe that they're expensive when I can rent VPS for few dollars per month. They might be more expensive than 10 years ago, but this cost is shared among all people behind NAT, so in the end it must be a rounding error.

Running servers at home is a good thing to have, but I doubt that ISP cares much about users running servers at home. Users watch youtube and netflix. That's what they optimize for.

Even if you don’t buy the broader idea of Great Man Theory, it seems obvious to me that the idiosyncrasies of the Great Men that happen to be “selected” do have an obvious impact on history that otherwise wouldn’t have happened.

In other words, the personal characteristics, family members, etc. of the supposedly interchangeable Great Man do have a unique effect on history that would be different if a different Great Man had fulfilled the role.

Napoleon’s wives (the first of which couldn’t give him a child) and brothers (who were installed as local kings) are a good example. I’m sure you can think of many other more recent ones.

I make no claims as to the presence of malware (or lack thereof) in the links in this comment, and I'm not condoning or endorsing anything, nor am I stating an opinion on the ethics of downloading YouTube videos for any purpose, but for the sake of adding information to the table, there are still options available:

https://newpipe.en.softonic.com/android/download?utm_source=...

and,

https://yt3-music-downloader.en.softonic.com/android
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/

and: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easy-youtube-...

And I'm sure many others. I guess as long as the situation is such that it is not stupidly easy to figure out how to get around the restrictions that "prevent" downloading YT videos, workarounds and options will continue to be available. Information is very hard to lock away if it is on the internet and available to the public to some degree. I imagine he situation is considerably different in more totalitarian countries like China and North Korea, where content and online activity is scrutinized/monitored by the government more "thoroughly".

It seems hard to find a line in the sense that recording technology is becoming more and more common, as is the trend of social media companies wanting the masses to "share" their experiences on social media. Hypothetically, if I record a concert with Snapchat spectacles and then upload the snap to YouTube, am I committing some kind of copyright infringement or am I simply sharing an experience with my "followers"? I have actually had videos of concerts that I recorded on my phone taken down from YouTube, even though it wasn't like I recorded with a professional camera or even that the recording sounded particularly good, but I guess some content management stoolies on YouTube (and I imagine Vimeo and maybe LBRY/Odysee/elsewhere) are paid to try to take down content that appears to be bypassing the creators' ability to collect money for their material.
Many recruiters are good at their job, however there are those that want to maximize their sales and don't really understand any tech, so if the customer is looking for XYZ Developer that is what they filter on.
Something like “our shared obligation/duty”, “knowledge should be considered a human right” or even “knowledge should be free”.

In fact, the latter is exactly what is being argued for, without the philosophical quagmire of the question of what is a “right”?

I think one’s perspective on this depends on whether your reaction to this sort of invocation of “human rights” is that it adds strength to the claim or whether it makes the claim more abstract and complex.
With some of the best acting in both Andreas Katsulas and Peter Jurasik, the character development, and the various production woes, I’d say it’s a pretty great series, too.

> How many times did we not get the right person in the right place? How much further would we be if we had gotten, say, a Galileo during Rome’s heyday?

As psychohistory rigorously proves; individuals are of no consequence to the thrusting arc of history. It is not Galileo that created history, but rather history that created Galileo.
Semantic Code Reviews – Simple and direct comments without drama
The blog post explores the idea that code review comments should be more than just polite and respectful – they should convey their intent clearly and effectively. As developers, we're well aware of the complexity of code, and communication around it should be streamlined and efficient.

Semantic comments come with labels that convey their purpose, whether it's a simple remark, a question seeking an answer, a hint for future consideration, a suggestion open for discussion, an important point requiring change, or a crucial issue that must be addressed.

Yes, of course. What I meant was we could have had all the stuff that lead to Galileo before the great reset that was the fall of Rome, so maybe civilization would have been ahead a few hundred years.

Other than that I was pretty happy, but it was completely infeasible to store PostgreSQL backups there, much less server & laptop backups.

The vast majority of people can't fix their car engine, teach a classroom of kids or cook in a restaurant. Doesn't stop those professions from being 5 figure jobs.

I never found teaching to be an exceptionally difficult task. The vast majority of people don't want to teach young children, because it entails a great deal of stamina, patience, and passion. These are far easier to cultivate than the logical and analytic mind which engineering typically requires.

And your cooking example is so far off base I don't even know how to respond to it. Cooking at an average TGI Fridays requires you to follow a set of prescriptive steps, follow the recipe... and that's it. Unless you're talking about working at a Michelin star restaurant, it's a rote job.
mexico and usa have a very very close culture.

just like during all the 19th and a bit of the 20th century USA immigration was dominated by Irish, Italian, and other europeans. Mexican's have been the largest source of immigrants into the USA... and this is also as an aside of parts of USA which were part of mexico at one point (Texas, etc..)

as a mexican I'm aware that the biggest drug cartel in the country is the same thing as the government. this is specially true at lower levels of government; but then I went on to learn that the biggest drug cartel in a worldwide level are actually the american government, I understand this may be impossible to accept for a few people.

as a mexican from veracruz, I KNOW as far as I can know (meaning I don't know, but I guess) that the state's executive was controlled by the zetas cartel (first decade of the 2000s)

final tidbit: the technical name of Mexico is "United States of Mexico" (in spanish, clearly)

Yep, but would that have been so bad? Certainly with IPv6's 128-bit addresses, there would still be enough space to go around…

Though admittedly, when I see "IPv4 with more bits" hypotheticals, they often involve smaller addresses than IPv6.

> The over 99.9% of sites that still have an A record have it for a very good reason

A records work on v4 and v6, so they'll probably stick around for a while. Perhaps they'll end up being concentrated around 4-to-6 forwarding NAT-as-a-service companies, but they're the fallback mechanism. I don't think anyone is advocating for dropping A all together unless you're really trying to pinch pennies.

> I'd love to see some kind of tool, messaging, initiative, or whatever

If Google and Microsoft decided to put even the slightest bit of preference towards IPv6 capable websites, I think SEO hacking would do the rest for us.

> like, three minutes learning that IPv6 is a thing and that it's good if they have it set up correctly rather than not having it set up correctly

Learning to set up IPv6 properly will take more than three minutes. As much as I think IPv6 is a better designed protocol now that the necessary RFCs have come out, there's still a huge difference with legacy IP stuff. The concept of link-local addresses needs to be conveyed or people will put fe80:: addresses in their DNS records, and concepts like /48 or /64 subnets representing customers needs to be explained to prevent bots and spammers from taking over. Unlearning NAT and realizing NAT≠firwall is also something that can take surprisingly long. Enabling IPv6 may take five minutes, but the required background knowledge can take a day or more of learning and experimenting.

Internet forum posts about deleting AAAA records are a great helpfulness thermometer for a forum. I treat them the same as the "just disable SELinux" posts; if that's a popular opinion, the forum probably doesn't know what it's talking about so all advice that gets upvoted there needs to be taken with a grain of salt. They're a problem, but also a warning beacon.
