(1) IPv6, and anyone implementing NAT for it should be set on fire. Or alternatively, go back in time and make the original IP 48 or 64 bit instead of 32. (2) IPSec implementations that work well, and are used from early in its history. Enc

NAT does little to nothing for security. NAT != firewall, and if your security depends on keeping internal IPs secret you have a problem. You can easily firewall without NAT.

One reason: fiscal conservatism doesn't offer anyone any advantage, and politics is (sadly) mostly about competing over unfair advantage. The goal of a political campaign is to exercise your power over someone else (e.g. theocrats, PC

Rand set out to create an anti-Marxism and she succeeded... in creating a dogmatic totalistic philosophy that inverts Soviet-style fundamentalist Marxism. Never fight against -- you inevitably become that which you fight. (to paraphrase Ni

That's why I put (most) in parens. While I'm generally disappointed with the majority of infosec, there are really good infosec people out there. In my experience the good people in infosec are really, really brilliant, and are

I'm very interested, but haven't bought in yet because I don't see anything yet that seems to unambiguously work (other than careful use of a few nootropics). I may try one of these tDCS devices soon. If I do I will blog it.

I both agree and disagree. :) The problem is that nobody's looking for deeper solutions to security problems. For most vendors, even enterprise and well financed ones, security is a bolt-on afterthought (along with privacy, a form of s

To some extent I blame the Silicon Valley cult of recent grads, where "25 is the new 55" as someone once put it to me. One of the things you get from doing something for decades is a very broad and deep understanding of the entire

Before you spend any money, do some research. Unless I am way off, I was under the impression that HGH is not absorbed enough from the gut to be useful via that route of administration. Unfortunately there's a lot of anti-aging and per

I simultaneously agree and disagree with him. I think he's wrong because security is increasingly critical, but I agree with him because I can't stand (most of) the infosec profession. The vast majority of infosec gives zero tho

If you do try to flesh out an idea like this, I've got some suggestions. They're my opinion only of course. 1) Be relentlessly practical. No "magic happens here" utopian vaporware bullshit. 2) Be historically practical

Don't emulate your competition. It's something I see over and over again. Blackberry had a huge loyal user base around its keyboard model, but they had to emulate the touch screens of Apple and Google since... well... that's

I've read that before, and I think it makes some great points. I do get the impression that paralysis is an intended endpoint for some people. BTW... George Gilder is really an oddball character. He's a bit of a visionary, but als

What you're talking about is "desire control" -- the ability to "choose what you want to want." While you could do what you say, you could also do a billion other things. I consider desire control to be one of the m

I don't think I'm the right person for this. To do it right -- to propose something like that that isn't just an off the cuff manifesto -- you'd have to do a lot of research and work out all the economics and game theo

Maybe so, but I think it's worse than that. Liberal democracy has also failed in that it's regressing into extreme wealth inequality. I'm definitely very jaded about the prospect for political improvement. Politics seems li

My original post wasn't all that clear. I'm kind of scatterbrained at the moment. I actually think the "California ideology" is probably the most progressive thing standing, but that's not saying much. I do agree wi

Yawn. The most important line for me is: "With no obvious rivals, the triumph of the Californian Ideology appears to be complete." This line is more true than the author realizes. There are no better ideas. I have this deep and al

It's never been easy to make a living as an artist, and I agree that money isn't and probably shouldn't be the major motivator of good art. But I fail to see how either of those things are really relevant to my argument. Be c

The trouble is when nominal value shrinks, it shackles people to endless cycles of debt slavery. Either that or people default, which causes follow-on cascades of defaults. If we had a low-debt cash-only economy this might not be the case,

The length of IPv6 addresses is a minor usability problem from a devops perspective. I don't feel like this is a solution, but something to help ease the pain of this would be nice. Another issue is that nearly all terminal emulators a
