I’ve really been enjoying just buying classic movies and shows on Apple TV to binge watch instead of having a ton of subscriptions. The quality is always the best available and I have a collection of awesome content to watch that I have never seen in 4k with awesome sound from an awesome device. I feel its money better spent than a subscription.

> sending signals back in time.

First encode stock movements. Then technological discoveries. If it works like many-worlds, then even NP hard problems.

With sufficient bandwidth and time delta, you'd also have to hope that the future isn't sending anything nefarious that could lead to your demise. A future adversary could final destination you pretty easily and use you as a pawn to enrich itself, and there's not much you could do except stop listening - but it'd know you planned that too. A future adversary would be the scariest adversary.
The Minkowski metric is time reversal symmetric. The bigger question in particle physics is "what are the symmetries of the action?"

It's not time reversal symmetric, but it's probably [CPT][1] (charge-parity-time reversal) symmetric.

If you forget about quantum field theory and consider classical physics in Minkowski space (or Cartesian space), then t -> -t indeed doesn't change the physical laws. You could tell the two apart, though, provided that the system is far from thermal equilibrium (e.g. "why is this egg uncracking spontaneously?").

Does it bother you to have a product name like Galaxy or Forester?

It seems very odd to me that somebody would complain about single-word product names. Or are you complaining about the origin language? Or are you just jealous that somebody is using a two-syllable word instead of something like Navigator? Or perhaps you are peeved it isn't a single-syllable name like Chrome. Is a word like Ubuntu ok if it isn't Japanese? Or do you mean that words like Twitter and Yahoo should be phased out and everything should just be a single letter like X?
Viewed from 10,000ft it could even be cheaper in the long term, as an overall outcome. Personal attention, guidance through the system, vs constant background EMT interventions, more costly health outcomes, Policing and ultimately incarceration risks.

I don't like reductive economics logic over what is a humane response, but I do like that it may not only be nicer, but actually financially sensible.
That makes a lot of assumptions, especially given there was most likely Y2K problems that needed addressing and system upgrades taking place since the initial system rollout. This page[0] states that there was changes to the system in the 1960s but I can't find anything more recent so... maybe you're right. Who knows.

It's absolutely nuts to me that the government finds ways to spend money on literally anything but providing shelter, clothing, food, and support to people. UBI would be cheaper and far more humane than practically any policy--or lack thereof--they can think of.

> it's still a major problem if we have social security recipients with no birth date in the system.

It's not a problem, since there are other ways of determining eligibility. If a person doesn't have proof of a birth date, what are you supposed to do? Make one up?

And the claim is that it's fraud, which requires evidence, not some anomaly which can be several things. Musk and DOGE deserve the "dunk" since they're spreading unsubstantiated BS.

In australia, they put the people with mental illness or addiction in their own apartment and give them pills, and check in with them regularly. Definitely costs less than 50k/year. Most of them do end up getting better after several years.

It seems US has a system that extracts maximumly from their tax payers and just keeps things in (bad) status quo as long as they can. A babying system if you well.
It also sidesteps another important distinction: why the past is the direction we can form memories of.

Due to time-reversal symmetry, you could easily do a t<-->-t substitution, flipping the time axes around. Now entropy decreases over time, with the big bang being the point of minimum entropy, located far ahead in time. But regardless of the convention, our memories exist along the direction between us and the big bang, rather than the other direction.

So if increasing entropy is to be the arrow of time, it needs to relate to why we form memories of the past but not of the future.
IPv6 is easy, it was just not designed to handle
intentionally adverse ISPs.

If ALL customers would get a static /48 and the router provided by ISP wouldn't be industrial waste, you could easily use a different /64 for guest WiFi. (Or even a /56, if for some reason your friend wants to delegate some /64s to VMs running on their notebook.)

But in that case these ISPs wouldn't be able to ask more money for "business" internet services.

I think this is just the result of negligence from IANA or RIRs, these "suggestions" or "best practices" should be mandatory for ISPs and enforced by RIRs.
How is this asinine? Regardless of the technical details, if we don't have an accurate DOB of recipient, then they shouldn't be past, present or future beneficiaries unless we get an accurate DOB.

Yes! “Time” comes down to that one question.

My provisional answer would be that reality is a web of constraints, which most certainly is essentially (deterministic chaotic) noise almost everywhere. But like the Mandelbrot set, has pockets where the chaos gets expressed as order.

Because no order at all would actually be impossibly ordered.

The same effect as proofs that if you simply add random edges to a graph, ordered patterns will emerge. What patterns is still random! But that patterns emerge is a certainty.

Except instead of random, reality just churns and spans so many variations that there has to be pockets of order and of arbitrarily large size.
I’m gonna get downvoted for this, but IPv6 has lost and they have to come up with something else with enough benefit for the user to achieve widespread adoption to beat IPv4.
1. Well, you want to have your coin usable to pay for something in your own community. The first thing you can offer are unsold seats and other things that literally cost you nothing. People who earned your coin can buy seats at your events, or sell them to other people (e.g. who live locally) to attend the event.

2. With your own coin, obviously. If the coin has value aboard a cruise ship, or events, etc. then everyone wins. There are many businesses that can benefit from selling unused inventory, and they may as well sell it for coins earned for things like bring other paying customers, contributing great testimonials, content, etc. Imagine being able to go on stage if you earned enough "loyalty points" or whatever.

3. Loyalty points have been around forever. And no, fans are not already promoters. I know in my own personal experience that even INVESTORS who invested in your company often sit back and hope that you'll make them a profit somehow, instead of bringing others in behind them. Let alone people who just come to a show. The easier you make it for them, e.g. having your own site with custom links that they can share and earn "affiliate revenue" in your own coin, the more traffic you'll get.

4. You get more traffic. More audience. More capital. More money. More loyalty. Independence from having your speech restricted or demonetized. Look at all the youtube personalities openly saying that they can't say this or that. Many comedians and performers are sensitive to being censored.

5) Also you can easily collect money from a global audience, and pay out to a global audience, without being a central bottleneck (FinTech) and without being required to post surety bonds as a "money-transmitter", instead letting people transact directly and you don't have the liability, and they don't have to trust you like they trust Binance or FTX or Celsius with custody of their funds etc. etc. You just provide the Web interface, they do the transaction, facilitated by IMMUTABLE smart contracts.
Thanks for this comment. Ive recently been looking to use a domain for a server (instead of ISP assigned address) to make it publicly accessible. The server machine still physically sits in a residential location so I dont want that exposed. This is another setup solution I can look into.

I have been looking into doing an ec2 or DO droplet with a static ip with tailscale funnel for the traffic proxy. I just like that its easy to go into the web interface for the ec2/droplet and control which IPs it allows ssh connections.
The wildest thing about this take is that it seems fairly plausible at this point.
I mean, if it's oversubscribed by 100x the amount in existence it complicates things (unless the issuers have 100x the value of their gold in other assets). But if you issued 100 claims on 99 bars, clearly one person is getting something else. If I offer to sell you my paper claim for 2x what it was worth yesterday (for example) then you lose the value of 101 bars of gold after selling 100 bars of gold (net negative 1 bar) and I make a tidy profit. Just like a short squeeze sent GME to $400/share.

>> how can you fit >32 bits of data (IPv6) into 32 bit data structures (IPv4: struct s_addr)?

> By using nat46 on ISP's routers.

I do not understand.

In Ye Olde Times a system would call gethostbyname() and this send out a DNS packet asking for the IP address. Of course DNS record returned would be an A record, which is where your first problem is: A records are fixed at 32-bits (RFC 1035 § 3.4.1). So your first task is to create a new record type and update every DNS server and client to support the longer addresses.

Of course the longer address has to fit into the data structures of the OS you called gethostbyname() from, but gethostbyname() is set to use particular data structures. So now you have to update all the client DNS code to support the new, longer addresses.

Further, gethostbyname() had no way to specify an address type (like if you wanted the IPv4 address(es) or the IPng one(s)):

* https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gethostbyname&manp...

The the returned data structures only allowed for one type of address type, so you either got IPv4 or IPng. So if you wanted to be able to specify the record/address type to query, a new API had to be created.

Luckily the next step, setting up a socket() and connect()ing is less of a burden, because that API already supported different protocols:

* https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=socket&manpath=Fre...

But if you have a host that support IPng, but its upstream router does not, how does it support a packet with a longer source address a shorter destination address get through?

Do you send IPv4 packets with embedded IPng packets with-in them to translation relays perhaps? How is this any different IPv6 transition mechanisms like Teredo?
And yet scanning IPv6 is exactly what some people are doing.

IPv6 nodes aren't individual random addresses in a 128-bit address space. They are going to be grouped in subnets, so it makes sense to explore /64 ranges where you know there's already at least 1 address active. There's a pretty decent chance at least some addresses are going to be sequential - either due to manual configuration or DHCPv6 - so you can make a decent start by scanning those. For non-client devices, SLAAC usually generates a fixed address determined by the NIC's MAC address, which in turn has a large fixed component identifying the NIC's vendor. This leaves you with a 24-bit space to scan in order to find other devices using NICs made by that vendor - not exactly an unfair assumption in larger deployments. Much faster scanning can of course be done if you can use something like DNS records as source for potential targets, and it's game over once an attacker has compromised the first device and can do link-local discovery.

It's not going to be extremely fast or efficient, but IPv6 scanning isn't exactly impossible either. It's already happening in practice[0], and it's only going to get worse.

Sevenforums/Tenforums are decent message boards to learn about this kind of thing, as they usually have decent vetted tutorials with screenshots.
Code as Evolving Scaffolding
The title let me down; I was hoping this would be an article about a trebuchet. [edit: I see the post title has changed, the original one was something like "park ranger uses extraordinary methods to remove homeless from SF parks"]

I lived next to the park for several years and grew to loathe the dynamic where the lives of people sleeping rough in Golden Gate Park or Civic Center merit months of one-on-on outreach, while the lives of all of those who can't walk through the park in safety, can't send their kids there to play, and can't sit on the grass for fear of stepping on a used needle or a pile of human excrement, don't seem to matter.

I would like to see the city adopt a compassionate approach that doesn't at the same time enable years of lawbreaking by people who make nominally public spaces off-limits to the law-abiding. I'd like to see a San Francisco where there can be at least one clean, safe, working public toilet.
Things are still bad in the city, but the state of homelessness has improved. The article states that the number of tents in Golden Gate Park has gone down by 10x in the last 8 years. I would say there's been a similar decrease on the sidewalks of the city in just the last 4. I walked much of the length of Mission Street yesterday, and there are still a lot of sad scenes to bear witness to. But it's clearly improving.
Aren't most of those claims issued by giant diversified companies who have many other assets I can get in exchange?

When has this happened historically (I don't know of any examples, but I don't claim that means there aren't any).
I just want to add a potential gotcha that bit me in the past:

At least with curl (or any library that uses curl under the hood) you have to be very careful to specify the scheme as socks5h:// with a letter h at the end, not just socks5. Otherwise the hostname lookup would happen directly through the client rather than the proxy.

Y2K problems were related to attempting to represent years with 2 digit numbers. By no means would setting a date to 1875 fix a Y2K problem, it would just exacerbate it. Even if the problem originated from a Y2K "fix", it would still be a major bug, resulting in millions to billions in excessive payouts going to who knows where.
