My point is about current state of affairs. And it sucks the way it is today. I want a wallet app for my parents which will make sure it is backed up and the key is split via SSSS and sent out to 5 of their friends before they even see the address to move money into. That would be better UX.

Today you can launch the wallet, send money to it right away and then immediately forget your password or have a disk crash. This sucks and people will be hurt.
My opinion: IPv6 is used by nobody, nobody cares about IPv6 except for us tech nerds and in five years it will still be nowhere.

But still, nice if you want to try it out and test with it.
Great question and it's one that is driving my current plans for 2014 "to wake up and do what I want to do".

I would spend a lot more time with my wife and daughter even in the small things such as taking my girl to school and picking her up.

I would spend more time being aware, walking and meditating.

I would then spend a huge chunk of time giving somehow. I have a few projects me and my wife are starting in this area such as running a free course for new parents on how to resuscitate babies, top 5 risks for new borns etc

And travel!
I disagree, I think it becomes massively harder to scale these services with the kind of population growth we're experiencing and I think that humans living in denser and denser cities leads to poorer living conditions in general across the income spectrum. Just because you feel better off than your neighbor doesn't mean you're not actually worse off than your parents.

Granted we have a longer life and health expectancy and demand more of our educational system than ever before. I just feel, and again this is all opinion related conjecture, that we've pushed past the point of diminishing returns in scaling these types of resources.
"It amounts to saying that we should have fairly high taxes, and redistribute most of the money as a minimal income to every person."

It is called disguised communism. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

The redistributors redistribute to their friends and family first, then on their party, and then the rest so now you have people living really well, most people living bad, like today, but with no connection between generating wealth and being rewarded by it at all.

Don't let me wrong, this works, for a while. Until you get to consume all the savings of the productive society. And nobody wants to work anymore. Then societies collapse(Venezuela has 40% inflation per month now, Cuba, URSS)

Some of my family members come from communist countries. I don't want some political commissar to decide who deserve what and who doesn't.

I believe in distributed power, not centralized authority. Technology is making distributed power efficient again, with computers in every pocket and inexpensive 3d printers, laser cutters and CNC mills. Ironically we are supporting too centralized, too big to fail business.
You just waved your hands around a little. Gold has intrinsic value. You say other metals are shiny ... Well ... wow ... They have intrinsic value as well.
They do, on the other hand, receive every URL you type via the auto-completion feature on the address bar.
Same thoughts as well.

Eligible geographical areas is one of the big thing missing here. When I initially looked at the landing page, and did not see any mentioned of your delivery areas, I immediately thinking "great, only local delivery to SF, NYC, London or Berlin."

But you deliver all over Europe. Let the whole of Europe know about this on your landing page.
I wonder who else but tech nerds should be interested in IPv6?
I need a simple rest json store, and this could come handy. I'm using openkeyval right now, but they have a value size limit much too low (which seems to be a bug).
X/n > Y/m when n and m are both arbitrary. Big whoop.

What matters is the market cap. Bitcoin: 14B, gold: 6600B.
They would be even more innovative with lower taxes and more market incentives to make technological advancements.
Hah, funny. You can say the same thing about capitalism. It boosted the productivity and the technical capabilities of the human race tremendously (although at a pretty high cost).
Yes. I just bought a desk last week. Now all I see is ads for desks! Having just bought a desk, I am probably among the people least likely in the universe to buy a desk!

If there was a button that said, "No Thanks, I just got one of these", I'd push it just to help out.
Excellent question. Capitalism is a model to allocate scarce resources where they are most productive. Take scarcity out of the equation and suddenly Capitalism makes a lot less sense.

What comes afterwards? I have no idea. Everytime one imagines a post-scarcity world under our current model, questions like yours arise; a symptom that at some point in the future, we'll need to invent and transition to a new society model. It's pretty obvious it's not the current model, it's entirely non-obvious which model will it be.
head cut ... without letting ... go.

My mind works in mysterious ways. First thing I thought of [1].

One of the big reasons we didn't implement IPv6 on our domain servers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_brokenness_and_DNS_whitel...

To be honest i believe that all this retina bullshit that was started by apple is too much. Really, i am wondering how good the battery life of my phone would be without a fullhd display.. on a tiny size... that's just stupid, most people just wouldn't notice a lower resolution in everyday use but they would notice improved battery life.

To me the resolution battle is the same BS that the megapixel count on photo sensors is. It's mainly marketing talk to sell devices.

So please, i don't care if the phone doesn't have fullhd, and i also don't need 5" displays.. or a 40 MP camera, i dont need octacore cpus or opengl XYZ capability. I want battery life, please work on the f*cking battery life!!

p.s.: my "rant" doesn't mean that the jolla has a good battery life, of course i wouldn't know about that. Just addressing my main problem with smartpones.
Congrats on the launch!

Just to be pedantic; aren't you the middle man? I mean, if the coffee companies tried to go direct to your customers after a couple months would you be upset?
Rosia Montana Gold Corporation? :) nasol.
Probably was no job. They had a few unsolved JIRAs and needed a breakout clone for a client :-)
The point was really just to push for decentralization of social networks, through some kind of mandated data-sharing interface. The "DNS" thing is probably actually unnecessary I guess, it was just a random thought.

We don't let utilities just get a monopoly in an area and then just gouge everyone, and we shouldn't allow a social network to do so either.

The NSA spying, by itself, is just a symptom of larger problem, which is the ability of a smaller, more cohesive group of people to leverage larger institutions like massive governments and corporations to control and extract rents out of the less cohesive masses. I doubt there is a technological solution to this, especially with so many engineers working for the bad side as Useful Idiots or straight up Defectors.
In same way, no one except 'us tech nerds' care about IPv4. Why would anyone who does not have to work with it, or have an interest in tech, care about protocols?
talkatv is a nice and Open Source:
https://github.com/talkatv/talkatv
if personal preference is given, Blue!
Built-in test coverage, nice.
I started playing with a distributed annotation system that could be a comment system - http://www.annotatehq.org
You can keep your media on a server that lives in another room or a cupboard somewhere, and then play on any device you feel like.

I've never used xbmc, but using a DLNA server, a phone with an app like skifta and various dumb music endpoints and smart-TV style video endpoints, you can use your phone to throw media from the server to anywhere in the house. It's rather cool :)
Backend in Python and front in javascript:
"talkatv is a comment service much like DISQUS or IntenseDebate.

talkatv is open source and free to use.

talkatv is embedded on any page and uses XMLHttpRequest level 2 and Cross-Origin Resource Sharing to post the comment back to the server.

talkatv requires JavaScript, but has a non-javascript fallback which is a link to the talkatv server with an optional but recommended ?uri={{ page_uri }} argument. If the uri argument is not provided, talkatv will try to get the page URI from the HTTP Referer header."
Nobody, except for between 2 and 2.5% of Google's users (http://www.google.com/ipv6/statistics.html).
Ah, that makes a lot of sense, thanks for that. I guess what I would like to see is some kind of government mandate to force social networks and the like to follow this model.
Oh wow, you're right, there've been some changes lately. Edited that above. Last time I checked it seemed pretty dead.

I don't mind forks at all, that's why ABP is open source. Just thought it's a pity it was unmaintained, but it really looks like they're putting some effort into it now.
Acceptable ads should be opt-in feature and not opt-out. You are just building an ecosystem where you hold ad networks hostage. And you are being paid by Google.

That's how I would have done it, too.
I wrote a list of Swedish resellers: http://blog.kejsarmakten.se/all/personal/2013/09/09/bitcoin-...
Sounds like an interesting solution for back end servers and compute clusters. Your front end or control server has IPv4 to talk to the world, but all your database and back end compute servers that only talk to the front end server can be IPv6 servers to save money.
I would be interested in this myself, but as a big coffee drinker, I am rather picky about where it comes from etc.

More information on the beans and even expanding the selection of different geographic regions, would probably hook me in.

I got one which aptly describes a sentiment I feel often in general around here:

The piece of shit startup I hate to love
That's for litecoin and bitcoin. I would assume primecoin would be better for cpu mining because it hasn't been optimized for gpus yet.
Of course it's not the idleness per se that's the problem, and what's left? Nature/nurture, so I think you're right. For example, if I were to enter "idleness" I don't think I'd be buying "bling" nor beat on people. For me idleness is awesome, it makes me creative.
There is some work to make discourse into a commenting system like disqus. Like disqus it has universal accounts.
Totally disagree with you on hardware:

> Technically no vendor can offer something exceptionally different from hardware point of view.

Just because vendors are falling over themselves to makes Iphone clones, doesn't mean there's no other way.

Personally, the whole current smartphone scene leaves me cold, because no-one is making hardware for me. I want a small, robust phone I can put in my pocket and forget about. Something with a big fragile screen is completely useless to me. I don't really care what software it's running - if I have to leave it at home because I'm afraid of breaking the screen, then the software is irrelevant.
Did you know Java before? I can understand not being able to use Scalaz (heck, after three years of scala there are parts of Scalaz I wouldn't go to yet), or read other people's scala code, but my experience is that you can start writing scala to do useful things in two minutes, because you can write java (or C#) and it will work.

(Advice for understanding scalaz: look at the type signatures. Try and implement a function with that type signature yourself. In fact, the first few times I find it's best to write the thing without using scalaz myself, then notice that part of it has a type signature that matches a method in scalaz, and then replace that with the scalaz method.)

I have had no issues with them, was about 48 hours after signing up to get my first Bitcoins. Supports 24 hour bank transfers or 1 hour cash deposits if you need them fast.
Nice, congratulations on the release.

I'd really like to see some progress on generics / parametric types. I'm starting to get the impression that it will never happen.
The type of "5" + 5 is inferred to be String. If you pass it to print(), which takes a String, that's not an error, and printing "55" is presumably what you meant to happen. If you tried to pass it to a method expecting an integer, you'd get an error.
I don't recommend reading anything on that website. That way madness lies.
it depends on which filter you are applying. But probably blue. Because of the big oceans we have.

> What are they doing with those statistics? What could they do with them in the future? What could they be forced to do with them?

If you would quit trolling for one moment, you could easily find your answer[1][2]. It's no more likely they will get away with sneaking something in than any other Linux Distro would as there are many eyes, including myself, looking at their source as a hobby. There are also those that dislike Cyanogen and would love to see them slip that monitor their source constantly. That is a good thing, and serves a purpose, unless it's a false alarm that "cries wolf" and gets repeated so much, everyone just ignores it when there's finally a real issue. Think about that please when you keep dragging up this current non-issue.

They also give a preview of what they are collecting when you go to the "opt out" screen on your device and the source is on Github. If you're super paranoid, compile your Cyanogen yourself minus the stats instead of relying on what they give prebuilt.

It's already hvm. Amazon says Kernel ID : - . Can it be the reason? Should we choose kernel manually?
Fantastic question and answer format. Looking forward to studying this Socratic dialogue in some detail. Feeling like we should have done the same in the Melbourne talk
It's like going back to the 17-th century and saying, "surely, if a society could function without slaves, we would've seen an example somewhere".

The thing is, I realize a lot of people are not ready to be unplugged. That's fine. But there are a lot of people who share my views who would like to live without a government and who know how to do it. The problem for these people is that all the land is taken by states already. And, mind you, most of it is unused. It doesn't have to be some really good land, Las Vegas was built in the desert after all. I guarantee you, if such a land was made available, you would see an unprecedented migration of people and businesses into it and a huge economic boom. The reason it's not available is because states are mostly afraid that if they sell a piece of land to someone completely (that is, allow to secede) many more would follow.
I'd like to think I'm in the same boat here. I understand that there's no such thing as a free lunch. But the unskippable 30 second ad for a short video was the end of the line.
I read that line as "they have detailed data on how to maximize total ad views where losing some % of viewers is made up for by the increased number of ads watched by the remaining viewers."
It looks like 1) generics are not very well aligned with the main design goals of Go and 2) it would take a very well
thought out design to align them so, if that's possible at all.

From the FAQ: "Generics are convenient but they come at a cost in complexity in the type system and run-time. We haven't yet found a design that gives value proportionate to the complexity, although we continue to think about it.
Meanwhile, Go's built-in maps and slices, plus the ability to use the empty interface to construct containers (with explicit unboxing) mean in many cases it is possible to write code that does what generics would enable, if less smoothly.

This remains an open issue."
Screen resolution is literally the last thing I care about. Give me an extra hour of battery life & I'll take a lower rs display. Give me an extra day of battery life & I'm in heaven.
The super-efficient robot factories owned by the few super-elites who had the skills or wealth to acquire them.
"Half the students at the speech got up and left (not kidding) when he put on a halo, proclaimed himself the Jesus Christ of Software and started auctioning off a stuffed gnu."

Wait, what?! I can only imagine that's like a car crash where you don't want to look, but you just can't tear yourself away from it.
Just because someone has possession of a thing (whether it be your bit coin private key, or debit card and PIN number, or my car) doesn't mean they now legally own it. A theft can still have happened.
It is nonsense to base the argument on a Dollar-equivalent. If someone were to invent a machine that produced food requiring 10% of current work for any given amount of food, the Dollar-equiv necessary to survive would drop. Therefore technological advances lower the baseline of how much work is necessary to survive. Obviously this has happened between the middle ages and now, therefore back then hunger crises did occur and now they don't (speaking of western industrialized nations of course).

Also I don't see why you are feeling at leisure to hijack this to push a libertarian agenda (taxe == coercion).
So you didn't implement because of a problem that affects 0.03% of people worldwide?
We all know that OSC is a horrible bigot, right? I feel like any sort of fatherly advice he emits needs to be suffixed with "...unless you're gay, then you should be in prison."

Hi buf. Glad to hear you're interested! For the moment we are not providing the filters but we do have plans to provide them as well as adapters for using our pods on any normal espresso maker. Let's get in touch guico@hotcoffeeclub.com
If the entire universe is in one pixel, there is no single photon outside, so it is of course black!
But moreover from a quantum mechanics point of view, if there is nobody is outside the entire universe, there is no one observing something from the universe, so maybe the universe doesn't exist...(see this as an inspirement: http://www.iafe.uba.ar/e2e/phys230/history/moon.pdf)
At the time, 90% of our clients constituted that 0.03%. We're no longer in the specialty networking/server scope.
Good point.

Perhaps they put good ones in your area. I live in a cheap borough.

These ones are so bright and not diffused at all. It makes silhouettes of everything through my windows.
Well, in fact the topoisomerase CUTS the second DNA and ligates it afterwards, so it is obvious it can pass through. I don't think it's similar at all.
Pact Coffee (http://www.pactcoffee.com) in the UK offers fresh roasted coffee delivered too, but with more flexibility in your schedule.
Disagree. When I can get a bank account with a UK bank denominated in bitcoin (at whatever cost), then it's too late to invest speculatively. Until then, the barriers to entry are exerting downward pressure on the price.

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm getting that getting that question a lot :p Well, what I mean with no middle man was, as opposed to traditional retail partners selling at more than 250% the price the buy (and still with thin margins), we are charging a thin commission out of the final price set by the producer. Well.. maybe I'm still a middle man but not many will notice me!
please tell me you're joking
If you're used to running from source using this:

hg pull
hg update release

It does not yet return 1.2.

You'll need to use:

hg pull
hg update release-branch.go1.2

And then build.

The OP link goes to the commit showing this branch being finalised.
haha, very fuuny
And doubling every year:

January 2011: 0.24%

January 2012: 0.41%

January 2013: 1.07%

Not-quite January 2014: 2.54%

Which means that it will be ubiquitous within 5 years, if it carries on this trend.
It's also worth noting that a lot of the pay4botnet sites masquerading as stress testing services can't/won't do ipv6, which offers slightly more availability with ipv6 linked or dual-stack services - at least for now.
The New Asus ROG Poseidon Might Be A GTX780Ti
The idea is to decouple survival/livelyhood from reward. Heck 25k is what's spent on ppl in jail.
If you use Cloudflare (and maybe other CDNs though I don't know any) they can proxy you an ipv4 address to your ipv6 only backend, so you don't really need your own ipv4.
What kind of pods are these? I think you should specify which coffee machine do they work with :)
True, but private networking solves that issue too.
Wow, that's a great idea. Sounds like loads of fun.
Why a Good Resume Design Will Get You a Job
I'm seeing increasing numbers of IPV6 connections to our services. I wouldn't be surprised if it grows very rapidly now.
We do, but that seems like a fairly off-topic comment in this case, since this is an article about software companies...

What I also know is he's a pretty terrible writer - Ender's Game is fantastic, but the sequels are progressively worse and worse in a horrifying fashion that boggles the mind until you realise that OSC is someone who has a very, very basic understanding (or lack thereof) of human relationships and politics... Makes one think that Ender's Game was a bit of a fluke.

But that's totally off-topic.

All our coffee comes from a sole partner roastery (located in Portugal). That info is on the website (/about) but we totally should make it more visible as well as providing some info about the blend itself.

Thanks for the feedback!
The problem I have is the really shitty targeting.

I strongly believe, to the point of it being an article of faith, that effective relevant ad targeting will never happen, that it is an AI problem that can't be solved without enormous improvements in AI technology.

I suspect that what will happen is that industry will give up on trying to do relevance and focus on manipulation -- the big brother version of nubile women in commercials for beer. They'll stop trying to show you stuff that you want to buy, but they will have ~10 different ads for some product X and they will pick the specific ad most likely to convince you to buy product X based on the profile they have of you.
