Prediction: it won't. HN is very touchy about things that make the president look bad, as well as about bold statements, as well as about politics (except when it's good for VC money, then it's apolitical).

They're American aircraft. It sure seems like after repeatedly threatening to invade Venezuela, Trump is now invading Venezuela. For what though?

Most 4G networks are actually IPv6- only , with IPv4 traffic being routed through inefficient tunnel systems. This is why Apple and Google require all mobile apps to use IPv6.

FYI it's practically impossible not to oversubscribe your upstream connectivity unless they either spend way too much money or offer very slow service to users. Consider ten thousand users with 1G connections - should they have 10 tera

Note that although the policy is that you choose a random prefix, nothing actually enforces this and nothing stops you using fd00::1, fd00::2, etc just like 10.0.0.1 etc.

Yeah. If you're not an ISP or other LIR yourself, the correct path is to ask your ISP or a third-party ISP for a provider-independent allocation. This costs a nominal fee, about $50 per year. I only know anything about RIPE policies bu

It kind of has. The majority of internet traffic is IPv6. The three biggest internet hub regions (USA, Europe, China) have IPv6 mandates. Most apps support IPv6. Google and Apple force them to, od they get kicked off the app store. Almost a

Quality still matters sometimes. You can make a lot of things by AI, but you can't make them good. The same is true of 3D printing. Also 3D printing is good at making unique objects, but if you want to make ten thousand of the same obj

> The telemetry sent would make spyware jealous. FTFY: Windows is spyware. The fact that you paid for spyware or it came on your computer or it has useful properties (like Bonzi Buddy) doesn't make it not spyware.

The internet has changed incredibly in the last two decades, and has almost nothing in common with the internet of two decades ago. Predators of all varieties are everywhere; many of them are billion-dollar companies. Scams are everywhere.

And yet whenever the idea of changing this stuff at a societal level comes up, HN is filled with thought-deleting cries of "parents just need to be more responsible"

What else do you foresee? A country like Chile just decides it doesn't want to be in the global internet and more, and separates? No, I think that's completely unrealistic. If it can't upgrade in time, it might remain connect

For this to work, your API has to be an async I/O API not an event listening API. It can't be "wait for readable" - it has to be "do a read and wait for it"

Why would you make a keyboard with one more letter when everyone is buying ones without? Would you buy a keyboard with a ™ key? If not, why not?

They keep increasing and increasing the level of what they can produce. Within a couple of decades they will overtake TSMC, ASML, etc. If you're thinking about how the west still does all the design, they will produce their own compute

We don't usually think of the board of directors as controlling a company, nor the shareholders. They appoint a CEO, and then are hands-off unless the CEO really fucks up. This principle still remains true when the shareholders are a s

At some point booking.com decided it doesn't want to accept my money because I'm a fraud, apparently, so I use it to search and then book directly at the hotel, and booking.com doesn't get their commission.

Almost like there were at least three other features more important. The most important letters in English are E, T and A. I'm sure you won't notice if we remove H from all keyboards, right? After all, the survey says it's no

Major internet centers are US (V6 mandate), Europe (V6 mandate, I think - and if not already, they will), China (V6 mandate) and to a lesser extent the west Pacific rim (Japan, Korea, Singapore, Australia). Other countries will do whatever

You're banned from being a federal contractor if you don't. Isn't that pretty important since that's where all the money is?

by immibis 10mo ago
For one, most major governments have told them to do it or else. I'm not sure which year it will be but there's already a mandate that US federal client systems can't have IPv4, and contractors must support IPv6, and a later

They can. They don't want to yet. Europe always assumes too much good faith on the part of other countries.

Privately owned and operated transportation, where the main government involvement is just telling them to make it happen and then giving a certain amount of money per active subscription.

io_uring works fundamentally differently from polling loops and closer to Windows' IOCP (which is awesome and better than everything that existed on Linux for many years). With a polling loop you wait for data to be available in buffer

It's not overblown. That plant has sufficient pollution filters installed. You can find more info elsewhere in this comment section.

It's pretty strange to see "whoever you've convinced yourself is the current villain" next to, you know, actual villains. Who do you think qualifies to be an actual villain, if they don't?

The market didn't create hazard warning signs - the government did. Therefore, hazard warning signs must be abolished.
