Why wasn't it built with this in mind to begin with? Nothing "SDN" is older than IPv6.

IP64 would have worked, and would have kicked the can much further than another few decades. If I were asked to invent IP 2.0 I'd have suggested just extending the V4 address space by another 32 bits and calling it a day. But I do see

A lot of it's just laziness. Perhaps we'd see more support if C included a built-in 128-bit type so IPv6 addresses could be shoved into a variable.

The big bottleneck is this: the vast majority of top-tier cloud providers (AWS, Azure, etc.) do not support IPv6 and seem completely uninterested in doing so. Until this changes I don't foresee a tipping point. I really don't un

Chicken, egg. That won't happen until it's almost universally supported in the core of the Internet.

A good hash like scrypt makes the password very, very hard to crack unless it's a very poor password. The real problem with this is that it'd never be feasible to convert enough sites and apps to using it to make it safe to reuse

I think you're straw manning the peak oil argument here. Only the most naive "doomers" who don't understand economics argue that.

You're assuming that the alternatives are actually physically able to meet demand. If that's the case, then great -- what you describe would occur. If not then the only alternative is demand destruction. We can handle some amount

If the only reason something is bad is because a big guy will send you to hades, then once you stop believing in that then nothing is evil and everything is permitted. It's not really a moral code at all, since there is no understandi

Bubbles always go higher than anyone expects, and those who attempt to call the top always look like fools for a time. Fossil fuel extraction is a bubble. That's just grade school math: finite supply, constant and increasing demand. Bu

I've seen that too and I still don't understand it.

Hmm... if t is also then not a Cartesian dimension, it makes me wonder if the whole Cartesian model isn't a bad model of fundamental reality. Maybe it's just a mathematical shortcut.

Those kinds of founders need a dose of reality. That path is usually more like "burn lots of investor cash and your reputation, then fail." For the very few who sort of pull the pump and dump burn to exit thing off there are dozen

A big source of confusion is dimension as mathematical vector element vs spatial dimension. These are different concepts. Still it is interesting that x, y, and z seem identical while t is intrinsically unidirectional. Why?

Absolutely. Anyone who can ship real things would be superior. The MBA is basically capitalism's answer to the Soviet "party apparatchik."

Peter Thiel likes to make this contrarian point: competition forces you into a deflationary downward spiral where you must spend all your energy fighting with and therefore duplicating your competitors. An example of the latter would be Goo

Depends on what kind of security boundary. You could only allow zerotier traffic, in which case the container only lives on the virtual net and no "real" traffic flows. You could also have the preloaded intercept library forbid an

I think you and the downmodders are shooting the messenger. I do not like walled gardens any more than I like taxes or drunk driving checkpoints. I'm just explaining why they are there and why many users actually prefer them, and I&#

Unfortunately if you remove the walls from the garden you get a malware, crapware, and (ironically given the topic) spyware explosion -- a tragedy of the commons more or less. Mobile devices are used by over a billion people, most of whom d

The same thing is happening in the USA. It definitely feels like you must be in one of around 5-10 cities or you don't exist. If you don't go to one of them for at least part of your career, you go nowhere and command half or less

Cars are awesome for light suburbs and rural areas, but they do not scale as density increases. Los Angeles passed this size and density long, long ago. Orange County (basically part of LA unless you live here) is doing so right about now.

That talk looks fascinating... bookmarked it for a later read. Quite a few people in all kinds of areas would benefit from a study of machine learning theory -- I think some of these findings are philosophically profound.

It's really a brilliant model: a magazine with unpaid writers. Get everyone to write high quality articles for nothing, then curate and monetize.

The problem is human nature, specifically that we become emotionally attached to our ideas and our methods/tools and form cliques around them. If that weren't the case, a "crackpot" who followed their own peculiar method

The two are not mutually exclusive. To say that all scientific progress can't be attained by just following a single scientific method does not imply that following that method is fruitless or wrong. It obviously does work sometimes.
