Don't mean to brag but it took the 12 year old me less than an afternoon (armed with a CISCO book) to understand IPv4 syntax/routing/ARP/DHCP + whatever and roll it out to my 2 computers lan.

The difficulty curve jump from IPv4 to IPv6 is humongous (IPv6 + ancillaries took me 2 days to setup in my home, and that's with a decade of IT experience.)

The issue is there are just so many officially right ways to do the same thing. Even assigning 'static' addresses has 3 official methods. Yes I get why there are so many of them (flexibility!) but it's a lot of stuff to learn and put together.

I mostly deal with the NET namespace (eg. 100+ VPN WAN source-base router + IDS lol) but I've never read an article that explore other namespaces in detail.

I read that email and there's a serious tons of hand waving and 'dude, trust me.'

I am going to ignore "would be useful to a lot of people -- hundreds of millions of people who you may never know." There's no example use case of who the hundreds of millions of people might be, and how this proposal would benefit them. What are the benefits that the existing CG-NAT and ipv6 couldn't provide?

I am also going to ignore "one-line patches is almost risk-free." Sure if all the software in the world is only Linux/Windows/BSD TCP/IP stack and no one build anything on top of the stacks, then the patch would indeed be only 'one -line'.

What I really have a problem is 'simply include them in new releases of the various operating systems and router OS's that implement the Internet protocols.' I work for a _major_ hardware firewall company, and it is ridiculous the amount of effort we would put on our customers to upgrade their firmware. There are still hardware that run with 15 year old firmware (with all the accumulated CVEs). You are telling me it's easy to convince these people to upgrade their stuff? Are you serious??? 'People naturally upgrade their OS's every few years." Oh I guess we can ignore all the IoTs and middle-boxes on the interweb then.

"We have tested major routers, and none so far require software updates to enable most of these addresses." As mentioned I work for a firewall company. I just logged into a sample firewall under my control- yes the configuration is doable. But in enterprise, everything needs to be rigorously tested or else the sysadmin's not gonna touch it. The sysadmins are certainly not going to waste a few weeks of their lives testing things that might bring down their entire network, and would only benefit the select few who managed to grab ahold of the new IPs.

It's late at night and I don't want to continue. So here.

Why would anyone even bother. All the scripts and programs that were hardcoded to treat 127/8 as loopback and 0/8 as various default routes would need to be changed and more importantly, verified. You wouldn't want anything that's hardcode bind to, say, 127.48.47.218 as localhost to suddenly be routable from the internet.

I vaguely recall Cloudflare uses a huge chunk of 127/8 as internal loopback addresses for their edge servers. Without Cloudflare's support this proposal is DOA.

It makes sense if you realize

1. China pledges to peak carbon emission by 2030

2. Any increase in emission before 2030 will increase China's peak carbon allowance afterward.

3. Coal plants are cheap to build. Who cares if you only run them at 30% load factor for their entire lifespan.

4. Cap and trade between countries mean the carbon credit will worth a lot in the near future.

Or California's housing market is just too fucked. I think this is more plausible than the income tax too high theory.

Musk has not paid any tax because he hasn't cashed out any of his stock options yet. Some of his options will expire next year so he will pay tax then, but I am sure California will get the lion share of the tax revenue (as Musk lived in California up to 2021.)

Thank god for their 10 years warranty. I guess people like me is the reason why the S company lowered the warranty to 5 years for their next generation product.

I suspect the situation is the same with old appliances- only the Good Stuff survives the test of time.

>One does not wish to waste a child’s youth away on 18 hours of evening cram school a week, but to do otherwise is to risk falling behind. It is a classic arms race problem: no player can stop the game from the inside, even though all players would benefit from a cap on the game. An outside force is needed to halt the madness. Xi Jinping has decided to be that force.

I feel the author's logic is flawed here. In the previous paragraph, he wrote-

>Xi Jinping is not reigning in capitalism writ large; Beijing is not scrapping market mechanisms altogether. Semiconductor foundries, agricultural conglomerates, and Christmas light factories (to choose three examples of hundreds) have been untouched by Xi’s ‘common prosperity’ agenda. It is a very select slice of Chinese capitalism that is being “reigned in.”

You mean, working in 'agricultural conglomerates' or being factory workers making 50 RMB a day, is not 'hijack healthy behavior with a set of short term incentives whose end results are self destructive and degrading.'? (short term benefit for the factory owners to the detriment of the society and workers.)

The author took a winded way to try to distinguish the reason why certain industries are targeted, but really there is no need- the PRC literally tells you why themselves: 'Fictitious Economy' vs 'Real Economy' .

(https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-cabinet-says-it-w...)

In Xi's eyes, anything that can't be physically grasp and control by the party belongs to 'Fictitious Economy' , hence the move to squash meal delivery (self-organized proto-union), k-pop/entertainment (voluntary idol worship), cram school (corruption and private source of education), and real estate (mass bubble speculation). Real Economy is output that the party can allocate and mobilize. The populace must lie down and accept whatever the party provides.

No need to invoke fancy Marxism philosophies.

"Haha I can't 'tell' you because the password can only be constructed from a specific series of hand gestures. Plot foiled!"

The attackers don't care if you can't verbally 'tell' them the password. With enough motivation, they will try anything to get it out of your head. A wench is just a tool to hasten that process, in certain scenarios. If you can't tell them, they will just hit you with a wrench until you tell them the exact way you use to reproduce what they need.

Edit: Thanks atatatat. Wrench, not wench.

Bezos said in a letter following the complaint that NASA risked compromising the mission by eliminating the element of "competition."

In response, the GAO pointed to NASA's limited funds for the mission. The group even took a stab at Blue Origin, saying NASA was not "required" to choose an applicant whose proposal NASA did not find attractive. In other words, NASA was not forced to take on two companies if it only found one company up to par.

Despite Bezos' offer to lower Blue Origin's $5.9 billion contract and take on $2 billion out-of-pocket, the GAO said NASA had found it "implausible" that the company could reduce its price without significantly changing its design.

Bezos said NASA had unfairly evaluated Blue Origin. For example, the company argued that it was not specified that the vehicle should be able to land in the dark. The GAO contended that NASA was not required to lay out all minute details, and Blue Origin should take into account the conditions on the moon or space itself- which is dark.

Blue Origin also raised issue with the fact that SpaceX received extra points for developing a system that focused on the health and safety of the crew- an objective that NASA had not made a requirement. The GAO said NASA had the freedom to choose which design function to prioritize.

2. China realizes this is a serious advantage and want to arrest foreign dissidents when they transfer flights in China. But no one transfers flight in any Chinese territories except in...Hong Kong, with its international airport.

3. China pressured the HK government to pass a security law that allows HK government to arrest anyone on behalf of PRC for extradition purposes, even for transferring flights.

4. The HK civilians revolted against the law for obvious reasons.

5. PRC flipped the table, suppressed HK, declared the Sino-British Joint Declaration to be invalid, and changed all the HK government's security officials to ones from the mainland. Oh, and the brainwashing starts.

Meanwhile, Meng Wanzhou is relaxing in her multimillion dollar mansion in Vancouver arguing Huawei has no ties to the PRC. roll eyes

Musk overviewed his five step engineering process, which must be completed in order:

1. Make the requirements less dumb. The requirements are definitely dumb; it does not matter who gave them to you. He notes that it’s particularly dangerous if someone who is smart gives them the requirements, as one may not question the requirements enough. “Everyone’s wrong. No matter who you are, everyone is wrong some of the time.” He further notes that “all designs are wrong, it’s just a matter of how wrong.”

2. Try very hard to delete the part or process. If parts are not being added back into the design at least 10% of the time, not enough parts are being deleted. Musk noted that the bias tends to be very strongly toward “let’s add this part or process step in case we need it.” Additionally, each required part and process must come from a name, not a department, as a department cannot be asked why a requirement exists, but a person can.

3. Simplify and optimize the design. This is step three as the most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize something that should not exist.

4. Accelerate cycle time. Musk states “you’re moving too slowly, go faster! But don’t go faster until you’ve worked on the other three things first.”

5. Automate. An important part of this is to remove in-process testing after the problems have been diagnosed; if a product is reaching the end of a production line with a high acceptance rate, there is no need for in-process testing.

Additionally, Musk restated that he believes everyone should be a chief engineer. Engineers need to understand the system at a high level to understand when they are making a bad optimization. As an example, Musk noted that an order of magnitude more time has been spent reducing engine mass than reducing residual propellant, despite both being equally as important.

As a side note, aren't hard hats required in the site?

Good thing the article is about Walmart now selling 'analog insulin' ie. modern version of insulin

Luckily in the next journalist session Ronaldo has a poster promoting UNICEF charity work that he places in front of the coke bottles, for promoting "development of youth and women."

An increase in size and growth rate has caused the meat of the muscles to become harder and rigid in texture, giving a distinctive bulge to the breast and becoming known as woody breast chicken. The chicken, even when cooked well, is harder and chewy.

The white stripes that occur visually look like white lines running across the breast, tendons and thigh. A woody breast will feel firmer, like an incredibly tough muscle. When touching regular chicken breast the flesh is soft, you can press into it. Woody breast is simply firm to the touch, you cannot press into it (Kuttappan, V.A., et al., 2016). Occurrences of the woody chicken breast, as well as white stripes on chicken, have increased from around 1.4-8.7% in 2012 to a shocking 25.7-32.3% in 2015.
