IPv6 is doing fine. I have IPv6 at home, and natively on all of my servers. According to my Openwrt AP stats, about 47% of all my household inbound traffic receiving is via IPv6 (over 8 days of basically just web browsing).
> And is it really plausible that more men are disabled today compared to 15 years ago?

Sure. The population is much older than it was 15 years ago.

I wouldn't care to speculate whether that makes up all the difference, but having a disability and trying to overcome ageism at the same time sounds pretty brutal.
Nick Szabo has been ID'd repeatedly as the most likely author of BitCoin by various attempts to discover Satoshi's identity, and this article does not do anything more than that. Yet he remains stubbornly alive!
How Auto Layout quietly became transform-friendly in iOS 8
Some men will get stable work so they can sustain a family. If they don't think it's worth it to have a family, maybe they don't care as much about having a stable job. And more men are deciding it's not worth it. I don't know if it's true, but I can see the connection. I would be doing things a lot differently if I didn't have people I needed to take care of.

GMOs are resistant to glyphosate so the farmer can apply less of it, but do so earlier in the crop cycle.

Glyphosate got a 2A rating from the IARC. That's a rating that has importance for people working with the chemicals - it's an industrial exposure rating relevant to people who spray their crops. It has no relevance to you as a consumer of canola oil. The dose of glyphosate you'd get from canola oil is tiny.

Do you have a credible source for your eurcic acid claim?

Canola oil contains by definition less than 2% its total fatty acids as erucic acid. We think harm occurs in the 750 mg per kg range. (So an average adult weighing 60 kg needs to eat 45 gr of erucic acid per day, and erucic acid is just 2% of canola oil so you'd have to eat 2 kg of canola oil per day to get that much erucic acid) We adjust that down by a factor of one hundred just because, so a safe daily dose is 7.5 mg. that means a person has to eat 375 mg of canola oil per day to reach this dose which is a hundred times smaller than the smallest dose we see harm in animal experiments - and for this small dose you need to use infant pigs, otherwise the risky dose is higher.

By European law the amount of erucic acid must be less than 5%. US FDA rules say that canola oil must be less than 2% Erucic acid.
Your Team May Have Too Many Prioritizers and Planners
I think there are good and bad developers in every nation of the world. If you are looking for Indian developers in a place where the price is a race to the bottom, well, that's what you are going to get regardless of the nationality.

I made an interview with Jack Ganssle[0], which is one of the most known embedded engineers in the world, and I made a question to him about devs skill around the globe:

I have spent my life traveling all over the world and am finding great developers in all sorts of places.

I found consuming Reddit is a lot easier when you treat it like Usenet. So I have RSS subscriptions for the subreddits that interest me in my RSS reader.

That also means I can easily organize them myself by topic. In the dev related area are things like /r/rust, /r/perl, /r/rust_gamedev. And even /r/programming, which many people dislike, but I appreciate for the purpose of having people from different communities interact. I found some interesting links in discussions in there in the past that I wouldn't have run into otherwise, because it's not directly related to anything I currently do.

There's a bit of change over time in what subreddits I read. If I find myself not going back to a specific one (entries always maxed out), I just remove it.
nice to meet you, might not tell you in person though. that sort of info can wreak havoc - i hope you understand.
Slick 3: Reactive Streams for Asynchronous Database Access in Scala
It's not true that management consultants don't have specialized expertise. You start out that way when you join, but develop specialized expertise as you go through your career. I actually joined consulting from industry, so I was brought in specifically because of my knowledge of technology and development.

You might be thinking of strategy consultants, which are a rapidly-disappearing subset of management consultants. They often deal with very high-level problems such as "our company's market position is disappearing; what adjacent markets can we move into?" You then get an answer that may not be the one you were looking for, such as "you should look to sell the company while your value is high". But this is often backed up with a dizzying amount of thorough analysis, so it's not just some random guy telling you something.
I find the people that think this way are themselves the ones who look to game systems
That is exactly what it is, by their own reckoning[1]:

Create a safe space to encourage participation.
Embrace diversity of viewpoints.
Allow freedom of expression.
Be stewards, not dictators. The community owns itself.

As long as they claim to be holding themselves to that standard, people are fully within their rights to call them out on hypocrisy.

I don't know about the others, but I've been reading Stewart Baker for years, at the Volokh Conspiracy and then later at lawfare blog.

He's an authoritarian loon, and I don't agree with a word his ever written, but I'd be willing to bet he believes all of it. He's far too unreasonable to be playing a cynical PR game.

Not to say that potential conflicts shouldn't be noted, they absolutely should.
Estimates of exogenous costs, and the implied savings, are usually highly uncorrelated to any actual savings of costs.

If this was as you claim, then an entire nation or larger region would not have to chip in to pay for a program of a small city.

That small city would just simply balance its own books and ledgers - since they are saving 100K with a 20K investment!
Bootstrap/Foundation can be great when you don't know a lot and need something that is acceptable now. However, from a gaining experience point of view, those frameworks can get kind of complicated and trying to figure out how some effect is being achieved can be very difficult. I've found there's a certain level of skill you have to get to before you can actually use those frameworks to learn new techniques. When you get to that point, they can be great vehicles for learning how to do certain things.

I'm currently using foundation with SASS[0], Compass[1], and Susy[2]. I only take certain parts from Foundation as I need them. Foundation is built on top of SASS so it's easy to pull out parts of the framework. I can say that using a css preprocessor (SASS/LESS[3]) has really made a big difference in the speed I develop and the maintainability of my css. To directly answer your question:

>>In other words, how would an expert go about building a responsive beautiful website like, https://www.lily.camera/

They probably use a preprocessor like SASS or LESS and either build it from scratch or take parts from different frameworks that they need and mix and match. Looking at their html source, they're not using a framework directly, but they could still be using one with their css preprocessor which is compiling down to their production css. Also, there's a good bit of javascript going on in that site as well. Hope this helps.

Right -- universities are "diluting their brand" in the long term by creating incentives that destroy the value of college education.
If immutablity and functional style programming are priorities, then why Scala over Clojure? By which I mean that the decision is less about technical concerns, they all run on the JVM, than team dynamics and who is willing to learn what...or not learn what. If using Java/Scala contributes to the likelihood of the project team failing then Java/Scala is the wrong choice.
Ask HN: How do you actually manage a software project?
I've spent almost 10 years doing software development as a dev, and I've had a mix of good management and bad management, and I have the opportunity to begin growing my team and adding additional developers.

I'd like to get my head around what software project management is at it's most basic level. Are there any recommended books on the subject or articles that have a good 101 kind of explanation?

Based on what I understand from my own experience, this is roughly the process:
- Have a clear direction for the team to be moving in, and communicate that objective to each of the team members clearly
- Provide the team with the tools and resources they need to do their jobs
- Provide feedback to the team members periodically if we are going in the right direction

I know all about agile and scrum, waterfall, etc. But those things seem to be a little further down the line than what I'm trying to get a grasp of.

Thanks!

On the surface it seems like a good thing. Taking a stance against the worst "systematic and continuing harassment" should help the most vitrolic cases. Some might argue that Reddit should be an "extreme free speech platform" and this obviously goes against it, but I'm not sure reddit sees itself that way.

I think most people are afraid of the slippery slope and censorship if taken too far. Making Reddit "too political correct" would transform the current culture into something else. Many (or a loud minority) currently doesn't seem to trust Reddit to not do that. What makes things worse is people assume this is a "Monetization of a service"-story they've seen played out many times before with catastrophic results.

In the end I guess it comes down to the execution and agenda.

Depending on your perspective this profile could seem more or less compelling than the last one, but either way it's nowhere near conclusive. Fortunately unlike the Newsweek article, this one doesn't try to claim it is conclusive.

Personally I do think the creator should be unmasked. This person stands to profit hugely from BitCoin's adoption and continued use. I want to know if they really are doing it for eventual personal financial gain or not. And what kind of person they are, how the massive amount of money they gain will be used. Maybe Satoshi was a secret CIA project all along and the government will use the huge BitCoin stash to fund black ops that we'd rather not have happen. Maybe it was similar but the KGB instead. Maybe it was some lone hacker or group of hackers like Mr. Szabo, and they threw away the keys. Or maybe they didn't throw away the keys but they will just eventually split it up and give the money to their children. There's lots of good and bad possibilities, none of which we know until the identity of Satoshi is revealed.

Personally, I have always been skeptical of BitCoin. There's no reason why it should be the crypto currency. If cryptocurrencies do take off as more than just a toy for libertarians and rich technophiles, then governments will start their own fork and decree that these are the official cryptocurrencies of their nations, and all others are junk. Over night the value of BitCoin will plummet, because the wider population will choose the government backed one.

Hi, I'm Ross one of the developers of Force12. If you've got any questions or feedback on the demo please let us know.
A majority of my concerns were resting on XML Schemas and the like—or even OWL (!)—but even recognizing what you mean about XML being semantically neutral it's still... semantically dangerous.

The issue at hand where attributes and elements can serve very similar purpose is a great example. In a technical sense XML does not suggest anything about the relative meaning of these two bits, but with near universal acclaim they're used as "metadata" and "child data" whatever the speaker might believe those to mean.

In spiritually embracing TIMTOWTDI, XML has created a playing field where semantics are by default ambiguous and have to fight their way out of that disadvantage.

In some sense, XML-without-semantics has too much structure and this creates a minefield for laying meaning atop it.
Could we use the term "watermarking" for a process which near-invisibly marks the image? We could use the term "branding" for the visual counterpart.
We say similar things in English. One might seriously say, "If you don't like it, move to Russia." Implying that if you disagree with anything then you're sympathizing with the enemy, and that as long as we're better than somebody it doesn't matter what's wrong.

Maybe the Portuguese version doesn't have those implications, but I find it to be one of the worst arguments a person can make.
Lobbying itself is just a form of advocacy. They actually add value sometimes, as they know everyone... If you have s problem, they can get you to the right people in government.

It has become a bigger corruption issue as attaining office has become more expensive, lobbyists are a money funnel.
By the way I recommend the essays by Szabo: http://szabo.best.vwh.net/ !

That is sadly true, but at least for the Basic Multilingual Plane, charAt() and codePointAt() return correct results in constant time. The only non-broken methods are afaik codePointCount() and offsetByCodePoint(), which, as you pointed out, are not that interesting anyway.

Do you know of an example of a well-designed String API? I'd be interested in what trade-offs other language designers made (newer ones, like Rust/Swift/Go/?).
It's hard because McDonald's has negative brand equity in a lot of people's eyes (certainly in mine). It would almost be better if they were starting from scratch.
Lobbying is an inheritly tricky problem because you want to allow everyone to exercise free speech, if suddenly only government funded researchers are allowed to make comments on policy you no longer can participate in democratic governance.

The problem is governents have way too much control over nearly every facet of the economy and it is much cheaper and easier to buy a senator and get some new regulations passed than it is to build a successful product or service that everyday people want to opt in for.

When you mandate decisions, you tend to get bad and corrupt decisions that benefit the few over the many.

Major residential ISPs aren't rolling out IPv6 largely because they already have enough IPv4 space for their customers.

Take a major UK ISP like Virgin Media. According to Hurricane Electrics BGP looking glass project they are originating 9.4M IPv4 addresses[0], however, at the end of 2012, according to Wikipedia[1], they only had 4.8M customers.

It's the same story we have read over the last twenty years: One technologically-oriented intermediary replaces two or three traditional intermediaries with half the aggregate staff. The old guard laments the loss of small advantages coming from the old system that the market decides isn't worth the cost.
True. What makes this model compelling is that our flawed intuitions are very good at describing the world we live in, which is macroscopic and non relativistic.

Letting go of these intuitions is a requirement to become a competent physicist.
Except that the 50% growth has occurred in a specific age window (~20-55), and not just the population as a whole.

I would have asked Szabo: if you were Satoshi, would you change your answers?
Incidence of illegal behavior is generally determined through polling. Basically, you ask people anonymously and they're more honest. For example "Have you smoked marijuana in the last year?"

There are various biases that impact the validity and reliability and there are methods for accounting for those biases. Rates of criminal behavior in the population is a very active and mature area of research.

Another method is extrapolation from statistical trends in crime. For example, most violent crime occurs within race. So you can take victims of violent crime that were not solved and extrapolate fairly good estimates of the perpetrator's traits from the victim. Of course, you still have to account repeat offenders and other confounding factors.

Short answer is, there's not just one way.
RIP BB.

Once, quite a long time ago, I spent an evening w/ BB and a bartender in a bar in Alaska. It had snowed heavily, and no one showed up for his show, so he performed solo for the 2 of us, all night long. That night lives in my mind as the epitome of gracious, inspired performances. I was truly awed. The talent that passed with this man is a great loss. The Master of the Blues is thrilling the angels now, as he has thrilled so many for so long. Thanks for the show, BB.

The answer above is mostly a joke. But most Indian developers aren't from illustrious backgrounds, so they are simple, hardworking and will make do with peanuts. But yeah they aren't always innovative.

But that's changing rapidly. Indian startups have finally begun pushing back many of the SV startups which have operations in India.
My personal bet is that Satoshi Nakamoto is probably the creation of a security agency. Bitcoin has done wonders for illuminating vast swathes of the black market, especially for anyone with a good network overview.

It's "dumb" not in the sense that it's a stupid point. I would say that the quoted person merely feels "dumb," as in "small-minded," after the fact. They were first opposed to it on economic grounds, but as the economic realities became apparent (i.e., it's cheaper to "permanently" fix the issue than to "band-aid" it), I would say that they came around to the moral implications of what it means to help people find some comfort in their lives. Granite countertops and the money that they cost can't change the fact that people live with mental illness or have lived on the streets for years. The metaphoric "granite countertops" are a small price to pay to make the town a better place for all to live, homeless and taxpayer alike.

I don't think that anyone said that you shouldn't put yourself first. I think the bigger point, and the success story from the article, is that sometimes it's actually economically beneficial (to those who pay taxes) for the government to take the apparently more expensive step of giving homeless more permanent housing solutions. If the tax rate stays the same and the ways that the money can be spent can be improved , e.g. $20k on permanent housing per homeless person rather than $100k per person on the street, why not do it?
I was speaking more to the point of your comment regarding someone attacking your family without a weapon forfeiting their life. A hammer is absolutely a deadly weapon and while it would be preferable to avoid killing people in general, I do think lethal force is justified in defense of someone's life.
This is primitive C practice: allocate a "bigger buffer than you'll ever need"--a siren call for exploiters. There's a simpler way: when you see a backslash, start a (strict) counter.
Given that the vast, vast majority of Reddit use falls within these guidelines, I doubt it.
If my car is travelling at 60 mph and there is a car in the opposite direction also travelling at 60 mph (according to a inertial frame of reference) then classical mechanics allows me to say that from my point of view the other car is indeed traveling at 120 mph. But special relativity only allows me to say that the other car is travelling at 119.9999999999990394 mph from my point of view.
The higher the speed, the greater the difference in the results from "classical mechanics" and "special relativity" will be.

we should also have freedom of speech then.
He was inches away from the officer, actively swinging a hammer at her head, and it seems like you expect her partner to use nonlethal means because it's "just" a hammer.

Would it have been different if he was using a knife or a machete, or would he actually have to be wielding a gun for you to call this justified? At that close range, a hammer is just as deadly as a firearm.

A deadly weapon is a deadly weapon, and you, or cops, or anybody, are allowed to use deadly force against someone actively using a deadly weapon to attempt to kill another person. Any other policy effectively allows murder to happen.
