I don't know where you are, but I'm a Comcast customer in San Francisco.

I have a /64 assigned to me through Prefix Delegation ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_delegation ). My router talks to Comcast's router over a link-local address.

I know, a /64 isn't a /56 or even a /48 like they should be handing out, but it's a far cry from a /128. Where are you seeing /128s being handed out? Are you sure that your router isn't misconfigured in some way?

If you're basing your information on the info here: http://www.comcast6.net/index.php/ipv6-deployment-faq do know that it's out of date. The bug mentioned in Toastman and Shibby builds has been fixed for quite a while. (Indeed, I'm running unmodified Shibby on my router [with some firewall rules to patch over some crappy daemon interface binding decisions that the guy made.].)

EDIT: agawa reports that Comcast is handing out /60s. I'll play around a bit with my network this weekend and see what I've misconfigured/misunderstood.
Writing to /var/log doesn't get you guaranteed delivery either, unless you're calling fsync() after every write.

The Internet is full of dicks.
As I understand it, exchanges where it's hard to get your money out as USD (e.g. Mt. Gox) have high USD exchange rates, whereas places where it's easier (e.g. BTC-E) have lower rates.

In theory if the exchanges were all equivalent in this regard then the rates would pretty quickly stabilize, because people would use USD to buy BTC low on BTC-E, send it (as BTC / for almost free) to Mt. Gox, then sell the BTC high on Mt. Gox for way more USD, and repeat and profit until the rates converge. (see "arbitrage") But it's not easy to get USD out of Mt. Gox last I checked, so that doesn't seem to happen.
There's no "correct" price. The price is dependent on exchange - it's a supply and demand aspect. All the exchanges do is reflect what the latest transactions respectively.

You could buy bitcoins in a private transaction for any price.

There is obviously some potential for arbitrage here but it's probably risky given the volatile nature right now.
The one you can get.
Did the page imply something more than a comparison? No.
Different exchanges trade at different rates.
It was 250 like two weeks ago.... how the hell can anyone get into the market with this high value these days -_-
only sometimes funny? i have never read a penny arcade comic that was what i would describe as funny. i check every so often, and yep, never funny.
Ask HN: Is it ethical to take a job offer from an investor's startup?
You work for company A, where Mr. X is an investor. Mr. X also sits on the board at company B. You haven't met at all.

Company B makes you a job offer. Should you have any qualms about accepting it?
Note that those you get to interview will tend to be the less attractive candidates because they will tend to do more interviews before getting a job (and may be job hunting again sooner) BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER. You only have position yourself amongst the AVAILABLE candidates anyway
Because of the reasons mentioned above me, the UX/UI isn't designed for mobile, hence mistakenly clicking the wrong buttons.
Rather than keep posting blogs about the Penny Arcade job article...
Why not link to things that can help young developers realize their worth? Here, I'll start:

Certainly, this is more productive?
"Family" isn't code for "children".
You just buy less BTC, I suppose.
Do you really think they're going to get enough applicants that fit that ideal profile and have a difficult time choosing?

There's likely only going to be a small pool of candidates that fit your environment, not to mention the salary let alone work responsibilities.

The ideal candidate is a young student who has tinkered with web development since he was in high school and maybe if you're lucky, one of those guys has some experience scaling websites.
I doubt it. They are not stupid. They know what they are doing. They are attracting more patent cases. They are acting rationally in their own best interest.

Crunching the numbers, though, there are around 171,000 people in the counties that make up the juries. If national ratios of under 18 and felon populations hold that is a 115,000 member jury pool. If a jury is 8 to 12 people it would only take an influx of 11,000 to 17,000 software patent unfriendly people to average one juror on that side per case.

In short: Perhaps it is time to create a techie colony in the Marshall area. Remote working for the win!
If it were published in an academic journal, the journal would publish these remarks by Dustin Trammell in the next issue. But this "paper" was published online without peer review, so it's up to Ron and Shamir to do the right thing.
The exchanges are illiquid as all hell, so arbitrage carries a lot of risk. Bitcoin is a nice demonstration that market efficiency isn't magic, but has underlying rational-actor mechanisms that will break down in exceptional circumstances.
Each exchange's price is correct - it's just price variation based on multiple factors, similar to how a can of coke can be priced differently in various shops. E.g. if you intend to trade with MtGox, their price is the one you should be concerned with. Virtual currencies are still a relatively minor market so there's more discrepancy between exchanges compared to, say, mainstream currency or stock trading.
What kind of small business needs 24/7 support?
well, at least you should be comforted by the fact that your problem (or at least, re-reporting it here on HN) will cause them to fix the bug that got you into this mess.
Is this accurate? My understanding was that the V8 team wasn't explicitly optimizing for asm.js, and just optimized V8 in general (and that often asm.js hit fast-paths even without explicit optimization).

It sounds from the article like Epic announced that Chrome/V8 is fast enough to run the Unreal 3 engine, and Mozilla's trying to spin it as V8 explicitly optimized for a "spec" invented by Mozilla when actually they just made V8 really, really fast.

That said, they do include an asm.js benchmark in Octane 2, so it's clearly on their radar. But as far as I've heard they haven't actually implemented special asm.js typecheckers / AOT compilers like Mozilla has.
Google say they want to decide what decent conversation is.

That's why they started banning people from Google services. Those people were using their real names (but Google didn't believe them) or were using long established names (but that wasn't good enough for Google).

Google is making many changes in order to "improve comment quality" on YouTube.

And yet they still fail, really hard.

> Or maybe should the person who posted the video have some control over the discussion, and it should be up to them?

I guess that's easier to say when you're not getting dozens of hateful messages trolling your channel every day. But, really, if that's what Google wants (channel owners to control the channels) that's fine. Just stop banning people for using something that Google doesn't think is a real name, stop tying G+ into everything, give channel owners better tools.

> Do you want them to remove martinlutherking.org (a horrific troll website) from the results for "MLK" as well?

This discussion is only about YouTube comments. Why are you dragging in other irrelevant hypotheticals? Me asking you "So, you don't care if someone spraypaints 'pakis out' on someone's shop?" would be just as daft.
To quote myself: "If merit correlates with the ability to make money and merit is heritable, you'd expect those with merit to come from families with money."

Is my logic incorrect? Does merit not correlate with the ability to make money? Is merit not heritable? None of those questions have been answered, but we did get to see some good ad hominem reasoning.
There have been reports which indicate that GCHQ have greater capabilities than the NSA, but they are based on leaked documents, produced by GCHQ, to make themselves look good to other surveillance agencies. The NSA has a budget which is equivalent to that of the entire British military.
This is actually... an interesting question, though badly put. The naive answer is that a 'correct' price is what someone else will pay for your good, and different people in different markets are willing to pay different prices.

The thing is, the prices at which trades are executed on different exchanges vary by more than 10%, and as far as I can tell, there's nothing stopping a single actor from participating on all exchanges at once.

Now, if the difference between the odds one bookie is offering on next week's met's games and another bookie is greater than the vig, someone is going to come in and arbitrage it.

at this moment

MT.GOX	954.00

BTC-E	858.21

Now, I'm pretty sure that none of the bitcoin exchanges take a 10% cut, so what's going on here? how come nobody is buying on the lower priced exchange and selling on the higher priced exchange? (or rather, how come that behavior hasn't resulted in fairly even prices across exchanges?)
No, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If you're asserting that entire family lines are genetically (not just by environment) predisposed to success at business, you're the one who needs to back that up with facts.
Looking at the volume/quantity of BTC trades, its pretty clear that this is a demand driven price increase.

Given all of the new investors, how many of them will stay and how severely will demand be impacted with the next seriously negative market event?
Correct. But it peaked at 6989 yuan which is equivalent to $1147.
Anyone can still get into the market - you can pay $10 and receive a certain amount of Bitcoins in return. It's not like the housing market where high prices mean you can potentially not make a purchase.

EDIT: To clarify my comment - I meant the housing market as in the ability to buy a home outright.

Fring's cook pre-Walt was Gale. When Gale saw the quality of Walt's cook he told Fring there was no way they could compete with that level of expertise.
How did you compensate tedivm for his issues, and how do you plan on fixing the support-related issues tedivm brought up, like your CSRs lying about the problems?
At dinner one night I overheard a senior guy tell a junior guy that what he couldn't pay him in salary, he'd pay him in experience. The junior guy was full of excitement. The senior guy was also full of excitement but did his best to conceal it because he had just won a favorable victory in convincing another to do his deeds without an equitable compensation.
Can anyone else comment on their experience with Backblaze's systems, and how competitors compare?
You are confusing the hiring process and actual employment there.

"This site allows you to navigate through a copy of the bitcoin blockchain"
It's really amazing that people with domain knowledge in one field seem to think that everything they don't know about is easy.
If nothing else, watching the up's and down's of Bitcoin is a motivation to think about what life would be like in an economy where currency is volatile.
Instead of blogging, I use things like Google Plus. It's not shocking for me to post something silly and inconsequential and completely egocentric like "My First Go Program", but it's also public and discoverable on the off chance I do something flabbergastingly amazitastic without the overhead of an entire blogging platform.

(And no, before you go looking, I don't identify primarily as a programmer, so my G+ is not full of random code snippets.)
Australia's retirement income system is actually substantially to the right of the U.S. Social Security model, as our politics go. Conservative wonks have long advocated to shift SS to a means-tested basic income benefit plus a mandatory personal account. That's essentially Australia's system. But any attempt to move in this direction has been met with cries from our own "evil socialists" that "privatization" will inevitably enrich the robber barons and force the elderly to eat dog food.

To answer your question: That 2% in an optional 401(k) tax-advantaged private account is above and beyond the 12.4% that goes to Social Security. How much of that 12.4% the employee will ever see depends on his lifespan and the continued benevolence and fiscal prudence of the U.S. Congress.
We acquired the complete state of the Bitcoin transaction system [...]
This required downloading 180,001 separate but linked HTML fi les [...]
following the links backwards to the zeroth block [...]
Each fi le was parsed in order to extract all the multisender/multireceiver transactions in it, and then the collection of transactions was encoded as a standard database on our local machine.

This is definitely a very strange way of retrieving the blockchain for research purposes. Couldn't they have simply issued RPC calls to the regular bitcoind client after downloading the blockchain via the built-in peer-to-peer mechanism?
What about someone who values honesty enough to actually list the accurate job posting, which honestly doesn't sound that different than a lot of jobs in this industry. The biggest difference is those jobs didn't actually list the bad conditions in the job posting.

This is an excellent basic article but ignores some significant advantages available. For starters, "brokers" don't really exist in the way described. Many franchise and most independent distributors broker parts from each other. Arrow and Future in particular. Secondly, brokered parts can be an excellent source of cost savings; many will buy a 5k reel to sell 1k pieces and are left with extra inventory that can be had for pennies on the dollar. There is risk admittedly , but finding a reputable independent distributor like America 2 or Signature Electronics can be a benefit to purchasers. Aside from cost savings, these companies can offer forecast information to help you avoid some of the problems listed.

As for finding a good contract manufacturer, there are services like EMSforce that can take a project and present multiple bids to you in a way that offers competitive pricing without sacrificing service.
It's a good point, at least in this case. Nobody's going to die if PA goes down for a few hours, and they're not even going to lose millions.

Being asked to work a few extra hours when PAX tickets go on sale or something would be reasonable. On call 24/7 is just gratuitous.
Thanks for the response. Communication of the status of the releases was very clear, so we were aware that not everything is 100% production ready. At least it's good to know for sure that we have to plan for downtime when upgrading, and aren't simply missing some less obvious way.

Some families have little money, but are willing to lend what little they have among each other. Some families have plenty of money and are willing to lend to each other. Some families have plenty of money, and think that it is poor form to lend to family.

People in my extended family go out of their way to help family members when they are down; for instance covering a few college loan payments or providing a bed to sleep on for a few weeks, but going to them for a business loan? That is not done, even with comparably small amounts of money. I kind of always assumed that was the common attitude, but I guess not.
> Doesn't mention the 2100 band at all, either PCS or AWS.

AWS is the proper notation, and that's the phrase your looking for when looking for T-Mobile USA phones. When Motorola claims it supports "AWS", they're explicitly telling you that T-Mobile USA HSPA+ works on both bands.

You won't see "1700/2100" often listed on USA phones, specifically because of the problem you just mentioned -- the 2100 band is used unpaired internationally, so it's confusing to see it listed twice, especially when those two uses are completely incompatible.
I must disagree, you'll stir up too much drama.

What you do is talk to peers in the industry, every opportunity you can find, especially ex-coworkers.

Rails 3.2 Performance: Another Step Slower
These days I tend to believe more in the power of environments and systems than the in power of individuals. Sometimes you may have good interaction separately with individual I and individual J, but unfavorable interaction with the set {I, J}. This is to say that I find that systems of any complexity and organizations of any size are impenetrable. I have limited power to change them--as much power as I do to change the weather.

This has the consequence that I prefer migration from inhospitable climates to hunkering down in the antarctic with no snow boots. Quit early and often for me means that you are better off finding and working within a good system than sinking your time and energy attempting to change a bad system. If you have no power to affect "fundamental leadership" problems in an organization, my suggestion is to find another organization--if you can afford it.
Yeah, that's definitely better. You might still have people falling into the weird "the blockchain is a bunch of html documents" hole though.

It is difficult to withdraw USD from MtGox. There are large fees for bank transfers and it can take weeks for mtgox to process. For this reason, there are fewer sellers on MtGox which means the price is inflated.
Because it's hard to get cash out of Mtgox and the price reflects that fact (few people cash out dollars on Mtgox, but I think more trading goes on).

That's also the reason you can't just buy low and sell high, the cash out time is 2 weeks, and a lot can happen in 2 weeks.
Do you have the source code for your benchmarks? Thank you.

Except it isn't economically feasible to have a lawyer army and to try to keep millions of NDAs under wrap.

But you come at it from the perspective that you just clonk down our culture and psyche around information into a world without IP and everything goes to shit.

In reality, businesses evolve and adapt. Rather than consider r&d a capital investment in future revenue, your r&d budget is a public service - something you would want either cultural pressure to coerce out of businesses (I'm also a libertarian, and IP is just raw governmental power) but you could also argue from the socialist perspective the idea of using violent coercion of the state to transfer wealth into r&d.

Either way, you are not researching to create profit. And I would argue you don't need to anymore. The things people want are things people will pay money to see developed. Not pay for in the end product, but pay the researchers up front. Instead of sitting back and hoping a cure for Parkinsons gets funded by a medical megacorp looking to profit off the IP, you throw money at Parkinsons thinktanks, and can appraise them on an individual basis for their merits, and put money where your mouth is for the things you care about.

And then the rest can be voluntary. For the most part today many of our modern revolutions are voluntary - everything from standardized Internet protocols to tcp/ip were all developed not as for profit ideas but as standards to elevate humanity, and we reaped huge benefits from them.

Because all that money spent today on R&D, and today on the patent lawsuits and lawyers, and today on policing every corner of society to ban thoughts and numbers, could be spent funding the research you want.

Because it is a value proposition in whatever regime you have, but I am of the opinion that those who value research into certain fields would throw money at it regardless of profit motive because they want the end product, not the potential capital gain. I'd even argue that is a more effective way to develop innovation, because if your goal is the invention and not the profit afterwards, you have much greater clarity of vision to meet your goals.

I guess he didn't tell him that it would be the experience of getting screwed over.
I have a colleague who works in the industry and purchases a few petabytes of spinning disk a quarter. I love reading the backblaze blogs, and constantly forward them to him. He thinks the backblaze guys are pretty crazy with their "shucking strategy", finds it hard to believe seagate/WD guys will honor warranties on those "shucked" drives, but if they will, all the more power to backblaze.

He does note that his costs per drive didn't go up dramatically after the Thailand floods, and they were pretty close to what backblaze was playing for their "shucked drives" - though, they didn't go down signficantly either.

I'm guessing Backblaze is still at the volume levels where they can't negotiate directly with Drive Vendors - I'm not sure where that level is - 10 Petabbytes/Quarter? 100 Petabytes/quarter?

Regardless, I continue to be very impressed by how backblaze manages to circumvent what others might consider insurmountable hurdles. Truly hacking the system in a good way.
For eight years of my life, I was this "Do-Everything Rockstar." I was also a student for the majority of that time. I certainly wasn't a "programming deity" -- I was just a kid that was presented with the opportunity to learn some incredible lessons about scaling, appsec, capacity planning, etc. I also learned soft skills like how to negotiate, travel, and delegate.

The skill set absolutely exists and, for the right person, it's a great job.

Big sell off end of the year, but I'm hedging by trying to buy some now. It's a finite commodity of real utility and value. It's recognised as legal by the US government (and it's not anonymous).

I will be laughed at but I'm going to suggest this time next year it'll be worth $10000 per bitcoin :-D
I am older than your average HN reader and had invested during the the 90s bubble, but luckily did not lose any money. The choir of the press sounds very similar now as it did before. I kept it aside and asked myself if I thought these companies were as valuable as they tout to be. I did not and went all in and sold. Asking myself the same question, I come to the same answer now.

I asked my Dad (70 years old) if he clicked on any advert on Facebook or Google and he had not. Even car sharing companies that make about 6$ a booking need to do a lot of bookings before they turn as much profit as, say IBM.

I am selling.
