Ever heard of the expression "Don't feed the trolls"? Most of the threats people get are non-serious. Two decades of internet experience tells me that very, very, very, very, very few individually targeted threats ever actually get enacted. So yes, you pretend they don't happen and don't give them the attention they desire.

In fact - the police will tell you not to talk about the threat after you report it to them. Discussing the threat gives them an audience, which is what many legitimate psychopaths desire. Someone to "watch their work" after it's been done. It's better to stay silent and let police investigate (and if they don't investigate, chances are they don't think it's a serious threat or there isn't anything they can do besides put you under police protection).

Also what do you expect individuals to do against an anonymous threat? Console you? Flame a throwaway account? When you talk about it and everyone tells you "Yeah, it happens to me too. Just ignore it." What's their to talk about? That it happens? Yes. We know it happens. There's nothing you can actually do about it.

To steal an example someone else used: spam email.

There's little you can do to prevent spam emails (only try and intelligently filter them). Spam email is going to happen whether you like it or not, whether you talk about it or not, and everyone gets spam email and everyone hates spam email. We aren't supporting spam by not wanting to talk about spam. We just don't talk about it because there is nothing to talk about. You ignore it. It's a part of the world we live in and openly talking about "I get spam email all the time this sucks!" isn't helping to stop the spam problem. After a point, people would prefer you would just shut up about spam emails. Us not caring to discuss something we have no control over doesn't mean we agree with it. It means it's pointless to discuss. Perhaps pick an issue that people have some control over that could be solved.

At the edge, the last router before your server has to have a mapping that a single particular IPv6 address maps to a specific MAC address. You can't really condense this down to a single entry, because any given switchport might have multiple MAC addresses active (think of the case where you have a dumb switch attached to your router, and 20 servers attached to that dumb switch. You're looking at 20 different mac addresses, so no way to condense that down to a few entries).

Even a /64 is more then enough to blow up a router at this point. The /48 just makes it a lot more likely that that will happen.

The simplest solution here is to route the entire /48 at a specific IPv6 address. This brings you back down to a couple table entries, but requires that your customer configure things properly.
This is great. It's crazy how huge the Who is Hiring thread has become since it began on HN. Browsing it has gone from a quick scan through to a time consuming process, even using Ctrl + F and other shortcuts.

I've been looking forward to a tool that would make going through the posts easier, so very happy to see this!
The upstream router doesn't care, but the closest router to your server needs a mapping between IPv6 address and MAC address.

> Capital income does not receive preferential tax treatment.

Yes, it does.

> The combined taxes on income + corporate tax + capital gains greatly exceed the tax rate on labor income.

It makes no sense to combine those things, especially since not all capital holdings which recieve the benefit of favorable capital taxation are investment in entities that are even theoretically subject to corporate income taxes.

> Scott Sumner explaining how all capital income taxes are additive w.r.t labor income tax

He certainly asserts that income tax "doubles [sic] taxes the money saved, once as wages, and again as capital income." But this is a ludicrous assertion, since the part taxed as labor income is not taxed as capital income.

> Also just do the arithmetic; 1-(1-corporate income tax)(1-cap gains tax) >income tax for pretty much any bracket.

Even for the things where that might be relevant, that's probably only true if you look at the nominal corporate income tax rate rather than the effective corporate income tax rate.
As someone who has run coops, been a member of coops, and generally been exposed to real living based on the highest ideals of marxism, it sucks for bringing about change. The union cab companies mentioned in the article didn't bring about reliable, phone-hailed, driver-rated system I get to enjoy now, Uber did. That being said, they do treat workers poorly, at about the accepted standards of unskilled labor (is Wal-Mart any better?)

I think we'll have longer-term changes that won't necessarily take the shape of the most recent anti-capitalistic movements people were raised on. Patreon, for example, is incredibly empowering for niche communities of artists and otherwise unsustainable but culturally valuable projects.

I don't think we've yet realized all the transformative possibilities a connected world has for allowing a lives to be flexible to the individual. My generation missed the boat on a mortgage and a career until retirement. Maybe we can figure out new norms for the average jane's work and life goals. Ones that look less like running on a hamster wheel.

HotDrink is a declarative, constraint-based UI system that models the flow of data across the elements in the UI[1]. Trivially, it can repurposed for layout; although, most UI designers balk at the loss of control. The basic idea comes from a sizing dialog:

height: [ ]
width : [ ]
area : [ ]

If the user enters a height & width, the form should update area [2]. If the user then updates area, then height is the free constraint (last recently updated). The whole system scales to work with incredibly large interfaces [3]. The experience section in [4] describes Adobe's experience porting chunks of Photoshop to using this system. (I did the figures for [4]; I'm quite proud of them.)

Let's be frank, if it was "Eric" rather than "Ellen" Pao (and, even more so, if it were "Smith" rather than "Pao"), we wouldn't be hearing 1/1,000,000th the uproar we've heard about all this.

Nothing drives Angry White Men on The Internet more ballistic than a woman or a person of color in a position of authority. You see the exact same thing with the sheer insanity the right-wing is driven to by President Obama's essentially centrist administration.

Caution, in scientific journalism; sadly, I'm kind of impressed.
The day I seriously worry about a 14-year old internet wanktard harassing me in my home is probably also the day that I go to jail for blowing away said internet wanktard because they were unlucky enough to threaten me in my home whilst I was there.

There is an argument to be made that a ubiquitous, developer-first system translates into more instant changes. Seeing changes quickly makes it easier to iterate, which is better over time than the initial investment to learn Markdown.
I'm not going to downplay how bad it is for you, I was in a similar situation to you a few years ago.

I'm relatively sure it was simply a bit of depression for me, regular exercise and improving my diet basically cleared it all up.

Carpooling has fundamental challenges that are perhaps impossible to overcome.

For one, dynamic routing for two or more people is always going to hurt the user experience. Imagine you're running late and your car re-routes to pick up another passenger - ugh!

Shared transportation for anything more than a neighbourhood trip should be professionally driven and to a schedule. That schedule can be dynamic as anything but must be solid and offer guarantees BEFORE the trip starts as to start point, route, etc.

Basically a very smart and discoverable bus.

It looks like 61AS still uses the old glookup system that's restricted to enrolled students, but you could go through the regular 61A course (which is taught mostly in Python but covers most of the same material as 61AS) which started using the new OK autograder for all assignments last semester (http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/sp15/). The tests are all run locally, so just add the --local flag to the command you run to prevent it from sending data to the server (which requires a Berkeley login).

Just as I decided to learn a LISP! Great!
Good Common Lisp doesn't use lists. A Lisp app does nothing like processing lists; in fact, Common Lisp only uses list-processing for processing source-code (aka macros). It is much more like a faster, more functional Ruby or Python in that it uses classes, looping, but encouraging good functional abstractions. Real-world Common Lisp looks nothing like scheme.
Same speed, yes, but could be any direction (so collisions could be up to 2x speed for circular orbits, more for intersecting arbitrary orbits).

Very honest.

> Our society is moving towards post-ownership.

Now how a bit more honesty?

What you really mean to say is our society is moving towards an ownership by the few (shareholders, CEOs, boards) who will indenture everyone else through blah-as-a-Service. The code is owned, the capital is owned, the apartments are owned. It's a joyous model... so long as you're on the right side of the ownership line.
Looks good. I would make make different colored dots (or styled differently) for MLB, AAA, AA, etc clubs. It would also be cool if I could select a major league team and its minor league affiliates light up.
I certainly disagree with this bit, "There’s no systematic way to know how solve ambitious problems. We just don’t know what will lead to what. The future is a fog. An ambitious problem is not deciding what to have for lunch, it’s more like curing cancer or creating an AI."

I have always started on the solution to an ambitious problem by asking "what would have to be true for this to be solvable?" and from each of those things working backward until you get to things that are all true now. Then you can start solving the "almost" true things and work forward to the ambitious solution at the end.
So what would be a good example use case in your mind?
We unfortunately do not have enough women or people of color in positions of authority for me to provide some rigorous statistics documenting the experiences of a swath of such people (though this gives a good indicator we've got a problem).

However, it seems quite clear to me that minorities in positions of authority or public visibility face a level of vitriol unlike that experienced by some boring old white guy. Look at the level of hatred directed towards Hilary Clinton or Barack Obama; look at the hatred directed towards a woman trying to present at a tech conference; look at the death threats Anita Sarkeesian has received for making YouTube videos on video games.

I'm sorry you feel that way. This project came out of my own need I guess. I had too much trouble with ttyrec+ttygif: glitchy/corrupt gif frames (bad dispose ops maybe?), clunky interface, requires terminal playback on a GUI, concatenation of gifs, etc. It really drove me nuts.

Typing one command to record and output a gif/apng works better for me. If you can get over the node.js part, I'd wager it's likely to be less of a headache.

Part of the problem is how easily antibiotics are available over the counter in India. No prescription required.

A large number of people self-prescribe or take the advice of non-medical people when looking for a cure.

Absolutely.

One of my greatest fears around the time I was beginning to take this seriously was that I simply wasn't creative enough. I didn't know what to paint. But I found that as both my technical abilities expanded, I was also expanding the person I was and the things I was exposed to. Forming the person you are also forms the way your mind can come up with ideas.

Well it's already been done before. Yes it's a lot of effort but the added user experience can be very valuable. Case in point: Transmission is a BitTorrent client that has at least a Web UI, an OS X native UI, a GTK+ and a Qt one. Using the app just feels right, and the little bits of joy while using just adds up.
Every time I see posts about recording GIFs, I'm always surprised Byzanz (https://github.com/GNOME/byzanz) isn't more well known. Here's a GIF I just recorded with it: http://i.imgur.com/kQl7qHp.gif.

Exactly this.

As an artist, I constantly have people stumble across my recent work and exclaim how much they like it. That's awesome! It makes me feel so good. But they see that without the context of the years that came before it. They don't understand the struggles that lead to that piece.

So this article was all about providing some of that context.
I wonder what VAX would be capable of today if they had the same level of resources as e.g. Intel. From what I've seen there are some super-powerful instructions, but the opcode map[1] is extremely irregular - even x86 has an octal structure to it - so superscalar decoding would be far more difficult. It's also not as compact of an encoding as x86, so the code density would be lower; x86, despite being CISC, tends to have more frequently used instructions be shorter, e.g. ~1/4 of the 1-byte opcode map is register-register/register-memory ALU operations.

Right but ftp/cd are finite data sets. So far nobody has access to youtube full index and the virtual fs has to generate/navigate on the fly. Imagine a GoogleSearchFS, makes things a little different.
There is language knowledge (horizontal) and then there's domain knowledge (vertical).

Language knowledge is not just knowledge concerning its grammar, but about its entire tooling environment. In other words, it is not enough to know how to read/write C++. For example, you also need to be very aware of the vast collection of libraries that exists. Otherwise, you will be reinventing the wheel, badly.

While it is possible nowadays to find gigs just with good language knowledge, you will truly become incontrovertible if you know a particular vertical domain. For example, image processing, or biomedical things, or algorithmical trading, or something else like that.

If you are capable of applying sound language environment knowledge onto such vertical domain with the cash to recruit experts for its needs, the recruitment situation will be such that you can name your price and also dictate the terms of employment: freelance, permanent, work-from-home, or whatever suits you better.
As the article notes, DEC's OSes largely dodged the bullet by having good workarounds and in-kernel implementations for the missing instructions.

Open-source VAX OSes weren't so lucky. BSD's libm used EMOD pretty heavily (for modf() and the like), and this caused problems in unexpected places if you happened to be running on a newer machine that didn't have these instructions (stuff like: awk would crash!). So the OSes had to follow suit as well, at least for the instructions that libraries / compilers would emit (which fortunately excluded most uses of the G and H floating types). The documentation available at the time was okay but.. imprecise.

source: I wrote the EMOD implementation for OpenBSD/vax a long time ago; POLY had already been done by NetBSD. It's still there! http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/src/sys/...

Social sites really aren't easy to monetize without pissing off your users. MySpace imploded, Twitter still isn't profitable, Google backed off'ish from Plus, etc... I think Facebook is one of the few that seemed to successfully monetize a free social site.

I think the issue is that Pao (et al.) genuinely don't understand their community. That's the major source of the friction. Consequently, they can't figure out a realistic plan to build a healthy business around it. They seem to manage to piss a large percentage of their community off with every minor change they try to make. It's a bit sad because it's a huge community.
