I actually started reading it, but was rather bored with it quite quickly. It just didn't appeal to me.

I do however, greatly respect the HN community and if this was interesting enough to get to the front page, I found myself curious as to the reason it got a significant number of upvotes.

"Edge of Apocolypse" is VERY hyperbolic and meaningless, but the TLDR; that was eventually posted at the very least satisfied my "curiosity gap" I for one am thankful that the TLDR has been posted.
I know that ipV6 is theoretically better for me, but I am not looking forward to the day that instead of 192.168.1.1, I have to type in fd42:caae:ee42:0001:0001 with my phone keyboard.

Is there any reason to think I won't need to occasionally type in full ip addresses after this switch?
Well, for example kubernetes/coreos create their own complexities, of which docker is only part (you can even roll your own, but this takes time/effort), that doesn't even handle CI/CD parts, or manual intervention steps. There's operations overhead for these solutions.

If you are a mid/large sized organization it becomes easier to take different approaches... if your single ops guy on a 5-man dev+ops team is overwelmed, and your other main ops person is tied up with coding/architecture then even flushing out such a system is difficult. We're using wildcard DNS to make routing from nginx more straight forward, and deploying each service to 3 dokku-alt servers... which is easier than some of the dynamic provisioning and other pieces behind say coreos/kubernetes.

For that matter, we're keeping our semi-microservices in check, only having a few of them for user-accessed data, and a handful of others for handling work queues.
Their abysmal track record? Are we still talking about the biggest, most successful software company in the world, which made all of its mountains of money using exactly this pricing strategy?
I attached a small DLL at runtime which just called pyeval with a little bootstrap REPL running over a socket. Then I'd connect to it and use pythons introspection abilities to poke around the internal services and their methods. It took some tinkering, but I have no reversing or hacking experience, so it wasn't that hard.

Sounds like homework I would ignore in favor of getting all of the more solvable homework finished :)
I don't disagree, however with no actual exploit (in the wild or POC according to RH), no confirmation of the ability to execute code on the actual host, so yes important but doesn't really justify the whole name and landing page ordeal.

Not because it's not important, but because it just desensitizes the whole impact of vulnerabilities the caliber of Heartbleed or Shellshock which did affect a large chunk of the servers and machines connected to the internet at the time.

Now they claim it's bigger than heartbleed, but with no exploit, and no clear statement on what actual in use implementations are affected, Amazon already have came out saying that VENOM has never affected their implementation of Xen, if Digital Ocean and Rackspace come out with the same statement it just makes this whole "bigger than HB stance" is silly.

And as far as the corporate/enterprise world goes, well VMware, CISCO, and MSFT hypervisors have a much bigger share out there and their hypervisors are not affected so again no much of a bite there.
Couldn't agree more, in fact I have an unpublished draft on Medium that makes similar points. Happy to share if you're interested.
It's not even close to free. It's X% cheaper where X is the tax rate the company is paying.

eg.

$10,000 in gross profit - 20% in taxes = $8,000 net profit

$10,000 in gross profit - $1,000 rent = $9,000 - %20 taxes = $7,200 net profit

The net rent was $800 instead of $1,000 but not free.
(Yep, totally agree--was trying to get at how there could be other benefits in the last parenthetical comment. The extra process we do at service boundaries just stood out at me from the caching talk.)
What are you trying to say?

It sounds like you might be trying to be snarky, as if someone is trying to sweep details under the rug, but just as "the file had its first bit flipped" is more descriptive than "the file is corrupt" but the latter is still a correct description, "unevaluated thunks" is merely a more precise categorization of "space leak", which is itself a subset of "resource leaks", after all.
Don't you think that would break the minimalist design? I don't think it would benefit, not to mention it would be a little too opinionated.

I suspect HN's up/down system follows the pattern of simplicity by design and for good reason; the reason being the flexibility to welcome a cognitive diverse audience.

Apparently HN's decline in audience quality over time was expected from the start¹; quality and popularity seem to be inversely correlated, but the voting privilege threshold is a good way to maintain culture values to some degree.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but given the fact this community was conceived as "an experiment"¹ to explore and empower the hacker community, I suspect one of the points has always been that the "best" ideas float to the top. In this case, the "best" ideas are always relative to the values of the community as a whole; the sum of criteria of the engaged participants, a very diverse audience.

That diverse audience can have multiple motives to vote up or down, according to each individual mindset; it can be agree/disagree, constructive/non-constructive, as you proposed, yes, but it also can be interesting/uninteresting, like/dislike, kind/unkind. Or many other criteria that are not necessarily antonyms; amazing/disgusting, enlightening/TLDR, etc.

So this singular up/down "un-opinionated" system's simplicity allows a cognition diversity one-size-fits-all dynamic, any change in UX would have to be planned for a justifiable purpose and very carefully executed.

As the mobile providers convert over, this will be less of a problem. T-Mobile just did. China did years ago.
It's really basic at the moment so there's no support for hierarchical subnets, but it's something this that might suit this kind display.

Performance wise, it's definitely not ready for any serious use. However there are some easy wins I didn't bother with that would dramatically speed things up (eg the leases file is read with each FUSE API request - which happens a lot. So I really should be running that as a separate thread that runs every x minutes and caches the object.

if Im honest, scalability was a secondary concern. I was more interested in building a working proof of concept and sadly only had one afternoon to do it in. But I tried to keep the code clean enough (though you can be the judge of that) so it could be scaled up at a later date if needed.

Unfortunately this kind of complexity isn't just questionable marketing, it propagates to everything else. It makes seamless user experiences needlessly difficult.

For example, imagine trying to create a supporting product, or simply writing instructions on how to do something. You're trying to make sure that the user will see what they're supposed to see but with all these versions you can't assume anything so you have to consider everything. A simple list of bullets suddenly becomes a series of "if you have X, do Y" statements. Everywhere.

When products and companies become this big, a simple and arbitrary choice is all it takes to create unnecessary costs for thousands of organizations around the world.

We chose the name Down because it's vernacular that we and a lot of our friends use really commonly. The first thing we think of when we hear the word "down" is that someone's excited to do something. It's possible that we're biased by who we hang out with though. Any ideas for a good name if we were to rebrand?

We kind of think of Down as a light-weight, mobile-optimized Facebook Events.

You can use Down for large, Facebook Events-size events. But you can also use Down to invite a friend to lunch. Or a few friends over to watch a movie. Those aren't really things you'd use Facebook Events for.

Down's also mobile optimized in that you can have a group chat with everyone who's invited. I think it's the fastest, easiest way to invite people to do something.

Charger C is just a different circuit board with different chips on it. It's the marketing framing it as being free, however, that's makes it a dishonest proposition.
I have seen Agile approaches work (in particular, I've seen and been on some great Extreme Programming teams), but I believe your Agile experience is the most common these days. What I see most often is bullshit labels slapped on the old idiocy.

However, I think this is mostly bunk: "If you have a great team, it will organize itself anyway."

I think you can get to some level of adequacy that way. But doing better requires conscious practice, a shared understanding of how the team works, and a disciplined approach to inspecting and adapting. That just doesn't happen with the laissez faire sort of self-organization.

Most of the assorted Agile processes came out of teams acting like that and then saying, "Hey, let's define and publish what we're doing." You're right that jumping on an Agile bandwagon doesn't help, but there are other ways to make use of Agile philosophy and practices than blind bandwagon-jumping.

Thanks for your hint! It would be interesting to know which IE versions are affected.

Code on plainJS has no unit tests (so far) and it's objective is a) recommending useful and field tested vanilla JS plugins and b) provide useful code snippets for writing simple JavaScript driven sites without the help of jQuery.

The snippets are tested in all major browsers, but sure, at the current stage - there are rather likely some minor bugs here and there. Yet, I think it's pretty helpful to see the principle of how things are done without jQuery. So, even if there is a bug somewhere, the snippet still points into the right direction.
This again? Click-bait
Yes, sort of.

There are a number of problems that basically boil down to "what's the smallest value that has property <x>", which can be solved via brute force - or rather, could be, except that naive brute force would take too long, and no-one has figured out any tricks to make it fast enough to be practical.

For example, calculating the value of any but the first few Ramsey numbers (the minimum number of vertices v = R(m, n) such that all undirected simple graphs of order v contain a clique of order m or an independent set of order n).

There are also a lot of problems that could be proven or disproven via (counter)example - something like the Collatz conjecture, for instance.
I had courses like this as part of my degree, though of course the ones I had could easily turn out to be something completely different. If you're any good at maths, it's very possible you just never noticed that these courses exist ;) They seemed to be designed for people who hadn't done (or had done poorly at, or mature students who had forgotten the material for) later secondary school maths exams.

This was university maths, in that it was maths, and you were at university, but in terms of the syllabus it was pretty much later secondary school standard, and there was very little emphasis that I can recall on preparing people for further study of maths. So no proving anything. Just telling you how stuff worked, and then a zillion exercises for you to do to try to make it stick.
Out of curiosity, when you say "undisclosed" did you ask and they told you "no"? I've certainly stayed in any number of regular B&B's that had pets on the premises and I'd be very surprised if all them them explicitly stated the fact on their web site.
Your information is out of date. Every T-Mobile subscriber with a modern Android device on LTE has a fully-working, native ipv6 address. And somewhere between 30% and 50% of Comcast subscribers already have native dual-stack ipv6.

It's not quiet the same, people were going from theater towards home video. In India, people are going mobile-first. So in effect, it's reversed.

The problem with mobile-first is that it doesn't show that people have moved on from computing. It shows that these people aren't yet exposed to computing. In next 10 years, as 20% more Indians move to middle class, they will need to use some form of computing to conduct their livelihoods, just like the rest of us.

I get your logic, but this is like Flipkart investing 100% in mobile video because 95% revenue is coming from there today, and most Indians can't yet afford a TV. But this totally negates the fact that in next 10 years, the growth in number of people buying TV would be 10 times the current market of Flipkart.
I think you're going to be right, but not yet. Today we can make complex atomically-precise structures and machines with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_nanotechnology but DNA is weak and floppy. There's much left to do to bootstrap to stronger stiffer systems that are easier to design.

Why can't it be as simple as Linux?

If I want Redhat commercial support I simply have to decide between Standard or Premium Subscription with, or without Smart Management, normal or Entry level. Or the version for virtual Datacenters (if you want to run VMs with RHEL inside them the pricing is of course different). That's for x86 32/64 bit -- of course, if you want IBM POWER processor support, that is a different product with different pricing -- can't expect to use the same licensing model for a different CPU!

And if you want to run Red Hat on a Desktop, that too is a different product.

So in a total, 18 different versions of Linux: https://www.redhat.com/wapps/store/catalog.html

Assuming you can afford to move, renounce citizenship, etc.

Moving just within the United States can end up being an expensive endeavor as is. Moving out of it isn't any more affordable, meaning that your argument basically amounts to "tough luck, poor people".

Not that I believe taxes are inherently bad, but the implication that "you can always leave if you don't like it" is misleading at best (and realistically outright false for a rather large segment of the American population).
"Financial debt, however, accrues interest and hurts more regardless of what it is incurred for."

I'd disagree, I think all technical debt accrues interest (similar to financial debt), but the interest rate is different. As the example about a usps api demonstrated, that has a near 0% interest rate. Of course if you were ever to need to update it (maybe usps updated its api) you'd get hit. A bad domain model has a high interest rate. All the ideas are the same though, i'm just being persnickety :D

In all seriousness, what can I actually do. Nothing I've done in the past has felt like it moved the needle at all.

- Calling my local representative (Someone on the other end of the line thanks me and then politely dismisses me saying they'll pass it along).
- Trying to inform friends and family (They don't really care for many of the reasons stated above)

I think apathetic is a good descriptor for my current state of mind around things like this. Any effort I've put into large scale change in the past has felt like spinning my wheels and generally decreased my overall happiness due to general frustration. Letting go of caring about politics was a major happiness/satisfaction increase in my generall well-being.

I think you're wrong on multiple counts ...

1) it has real security advantages, because your PC or device is a single point of failure - lose your (unencrypted) device and the thief can gain access to everything, including your email account, your facebook, your bank account, etc... and for example AES-256 with a good enough password is unbreakable.

2) On the desktop if you have an Intel processor with the AES-NI instructions set, then you won't notice a speed hit. Core i5 is such a processor. And I own a Nexus 6 device that came encrypted by default, never felt sluggish and I have it filled with music, games, presentations and maps.

3) I don't know whom DPR is, however in the US people are protected against key disclosure with the fifth amendment. Of course, the technology is relatively new and the fifth has yet to be proven in court against key disclosure, however there are cases in which this constitutional right has been upheld [1]. And while in many countries you may not be able to resist a court order, you may be able to resist unwarranted searches or seizures; which is still useful, because ...

4) Most people have something to hide and that's undeniable. Even if you're willing to fully cooperate with the authorities, it is undeniable that most public workers are incompetents. So placing your trust in such individuals is very dangerous for one's self being. Let me give you an example ... because of an incompetent public worker, my personal identification details and home address ended up in a local newspaper. That's how identities can be stoles and lifes can be ruined, OK?

Now - do you really want to place your trust, your data (like 10 years old pictures, emails describing your love affairs, search history describing your most secret desires, etc..) into the hands of such people? You'd have to be a fool to wish for this. At least wait for the FBI to come ;-)

5) I'm sick and tired of the "Joe Public" fallacy. People are really not that dumb.

As some of the people have already said, this is the Collatz conjecture aka 3n+1 problem aka half-or-triple-plus-one (HOTPO)problem. The fact that we don't know if the algorithm will certainly land on a power of two shows that it's quite a difficult problem. The famous mathematician Erdos said that math is not yet ready for such problems.

There are heuristic to show that the algorithm should terminate but there are numbers for which it takes an arbitrarily long time for convergence. Furthermore, there are similar problems that have divergence or loops. What makes matters worse is that it's been proven that such problems are undecidable in general.
