tzakrajs··on Europe's record heat wave moves toward Greenland
Thanks for the breath of fresh air. People stumbling over each other trying to foolishly validate the status quo makes me lose hope for this world.
tzakrajs··on Moving to IPv6 (2002)
SOCKS and other forward proxies can allow IPv4-only clients to hit IPv6.
tzakrajs··on A Pixel Is Not A Little Square (1995) [pdf]
Yeah, it's strange people are thinking the display of a spectrum analyzer is somehow 1:1 with the underlying thing which they are measuring. As if a digital clock with only the hour and minutes displayed implies that seconds don't exist.
tzakrajs··on The rise of the indelibly-illustrated everyman
I am pretty sure it is a form of British satire to some degree but the author might actually believe some of this too.
tzakrajs··on Moving to IPv6 (2002)
It's just a novelty, as my sibling comment mentions, nat64 and dual stacking allows you do everything you need.

Nat64 requires a static route added to your gateway or each node, requires a custom DNS resolver and a daemon which manages iptables on a secondary gateway host for rewriting packets to/from IPv4 destination. It's pretty clever since it uses a /96 (32-bits) on the secondary gateway to return AAAA record for all IPv4 addresses.

Dual Stack is more straight forward requiring only an additional IPv6 address to be allocated to each machine requiring access.

tzakrajs··on Facebook deceived users about the way it used phone numbers, FTC to allege
Reminds me of the time Facebook reactivated my account and posted on my behalf when I replied, "No" to their SMS asking me to come back.

Ahh yes, here it was: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16244522

@dang

This is flame bait.

tzakrajs··on Netflix CEO may have missed the real reason why US subscriber numbers plunged
If you don't have private tracker access, usenet is probably best for speed and content availability since usenet providers have insane amounts of bandwidth to spare and there are publicly available nzb sites for searching usenet.
tzakrajs··on MITM on HTTPS traffic in Kazakhstan
The government is forcing people to find a third choice and they might not like what they pick.
tzakrajs··on MITM on HTTPS traffic in Kazakhstan
Maybe this sort of interruption is manageable when half of your 18 million people are rural and the economy isn't heavily dependent on internet traffic. Try doing this in a more urban populated country and you will see a much different outcome.
tzakrajs··on Lessons from the past, present, and future of animation
If you want to normalize hate, I can't stop you but I certainly won't stop being critical of racist shit I see posted here. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I will try to play it more safe in the future.

Also the novelty of my comment was the connection to minstrel cartoons which is adjacent to the topic of animation. Not many people know this. It's not like I am just making random shit up.

tzakrajs··on Steven Pinker's Aid in Jeffrey Epstein's Legal Defense
His outward lack of curiosity in this instance is quite curious.
tzakrajs··on Steven Pinker's Aid in Jeffrey Epstein's Legal Defense
Maybe Pinker is the type of thinker who doesn’t care about the relevance or repercussions of his ideas. But then why is he world renown and constantly in the limelight?
tzakrajs··on Steven Pinker's Aid in Jeffrey Epstein's Legal Defense
Totally, but he wasn't even getting paid to be the attorney. He was doing favors.
tzakrajs··on Steven Pinker's Aid in Jeffrey Epstein's Legal Defense
Pinker claims to now have known what the case was for. Fine.

Adia Benton, an assistant professor of anthropology at Northwestern University, said that beyond Pinker and Dershowitz, “I think there’s a tendency for men to overlook the foibles of their acquaintances and colleagues. The shunning of assholes and creeps is just not done. Especially when it comes to sexual misconduct and misogyny.”

And have massive personal liability that could much more easily leave you unemployable and emotionally scarred.

tzakrajs··on Ask HN: Tell me why this auth system is a bad idea
You would enter your master password on a device that you don't control? Are there any limits to this which would cause you to think twice?

tzakrajs··on Tesla employees say they took shortcuts, worked through harsh conditions
Use Google there are too many first hand accounts on Reddit and Twitter to source here.

Talk to people who own Teslas and they will bitch about their experience. Tesla annoys their customers constantly with things like: inaccurate battery charge indicators, no support for CarPlay or Android Auto, updates breaking functionality in their cars, promises for self driving which never materialize, and much more. I am sure I will hear more at lunch.

And that’s not even talking about how many cars they have bricked with over the air updates (probably thousands) leaving their owners stranded in the morning.
tzakrajs··on China's rising tech scene threatens US brain drain as ‘sea turtles’ return home
It must be that the cost of living in China is less than $0 per year.
tzakrajs··on Google shuts down its blog management tool just 10 months after launch
Again, AT&T tried this and there was still noticeable lag.
tzakrajs··on Workers waste half their time as they struggle with data
Yo dawg, I heard you waste half your time struggling with data, so I've been struggling with data, wasting half of my time to tell you that you aren't the only one wasting half of their time struggling with data.
tzakrajs··on Google shuts down its blog management tool just 10 months after launch
Google would need to solve speed of light problems for Stadia to be successful. It's not that people are betting against Google, they are betting on their understanding of physics.

Stadia is going to be the luke warm product that OnLive was and then Google will shutter it. AT&T also tried to do this kind of service in limited markets with fiber optics to the home, servers near the last mile, and a partnership with nvidia for rapid decode/encode. Didn't stick. Why will Google be successful?

tzakrajs··on Ask HN: How do I explain “startup went bankrupt” to family and future employer?
The main reason people went to see that movie is because Robert Downey Jr in black face. I’m not sure if you were paying attention when it was released but that’s all people talked about. They profiteered from black face. If you can’t see how racism is emboldened when it gets paid, then you can’t see shit.

Welcome to overzealous Christian nation which believes that it is their duty to diminish the sexual satisfaction that their congregants may have.

Hilarious how wearing pants in the source image turns later shorts wearing iterations into giant cankles.
