Can you explain this? I am IPv6 naive and I would expect IPv6 to massively harm privacy, but that expectation is out of ignorance. > without need for routing your data through some central server. I am also not sure what this means.

Questions like this almost always need context. What is your current level of technical understanding? What do you want to achieve through your learning? What do you mean when you say "semiconductor design?"

I think the subtly in the argument is that there are monopolies and alternative to monopolies and associated trade offs with those states. So the question is: are there cases for which a monopoly has a better cost/benefit ratio than wh

After Linode's security incident, it was clear in their response that security was not their priority. I don't remember what the incident was or what the response was, but I remember the response being corporate and appalling. I t

To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights. -

There's 100s of different hypothesis for the cause, but it's all just a different flavor of wealth inequality. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. This promotes all types of corruption. The rich can usuall

Are slot machines fun? I think it's pretty clear the answer is yes. Diablo 2 is a glorified slot machine, most RPG mechanics are slot machine-y. Play the slot machine while you upgrade the slot machine (via gear) which reduces your cha
