NAT v4 addresses are no fun. IPv6 addressing is a big win there. Especially in the mobile space.

Complete guess here, but their analytics, fraud, spam, etc systems are IP based and don't work well with the v6 address space yet? Cloudflare handles their front end, so it should be as easy as toggling an option in the CF admin page.

Indeed. I see a Tesla Model S and instantly think "run of the mill Hyundai Genesis." My loins don't tingle nor do I think "that's one hot car." The Model S looks have never been wonderful, nor distinctive. It&#

They wanted to go to war, just not against the US. They very much thought that they were racially superior to other Asians and would easily dominate them in battle.

> The only serious advantage the car would have over the Tesla would be the 15 minute charger, which apparently isn't finished yet. The Mission E looks much, much better than any Tesla model.

I doubt that they've all passed away. My great uncle was a WWII B17 navigator, and he's still alive (and quite active).

Most public peering IX's have route servers which have "most" of the routes available on the exchange. Peer with that and you have almost all of the routes available on the exchange. Of course, some entities might not adverti

We start the process to add more peering ports once we see sustained traffic at 40% of port capacity (in PPS or BPS). The process takes a while depending on who you're dealing with, and before you know it, you're up to 80% right b

There are reach products that will help you connect and peer to providers in remote IX's. You can peer with them directly, then have their traffic ride on your network all the way back. MPLS is a wonderful thing. Yeah, you'll stil

I'm really dubious of the claim that labor in .de is super expensive. I know that most software devs there make way less thank 100K euro's/year. That's much, much lower compared to the US. Housing costs (buy/rent) i

I would take this a lot more seriously if Hetzner were not home to about 20% of the banned/fraud IP's on my network. I find it highly ironic that they get up on their high horse and start preaching about how to properly run a netw

I have a coworker living and working in Berlin. He won't stop raving about how cheap it is to live nicely there. He's constantly trying to recruit me to move. I think US companies must just pay more.

That decision was not made by bridge engineers. It was made by architects, artists, and civilians. Basically, everyone with zero engineering experience. The whole thing was a political rig job, setup to create something iconic, rather than

Are you referring to the Ecache Data Parity (EDP) errors? I think those things hastened Sun's downfall. They replaced every single CPU and memory board in every Sun server when I was at Hotmail. That was a lot of modules.

What is the overdraft protection? The only stuff I've seen links a credit card to your checking account, and there is no charge. Or has that changed?

Is USAA considered a bank or credit union? Either way, they're easily the best financial institution in the US. They are amongst the most tech savvy because they only have a branch in San Antonio, yet their customers are deployed aroun

Gotta wait for the bag to arrive at baggage claim though. At some airports, this can just take a long time. In Denver, you might not ever see that bag again. It's also a slow proposition when flying late at night into smaller airports.

Let me ask, why try to control the ugly side? Let it run just as free as the good stuff, and allow people to select what they want.

I was actually referring to hydrogen power on a neighborhood scale, not car. These were just abstract examples, but I guess the HN crowd sometimes gets caught up in the details. It's a byproduct of a flawed communication mechanism.

Not waiting, the hallmark of unicorns for an impatient user base. Uber saved your life because otherwise you would have grown impatient, driven drunk, and killed a bunch of people? That's one hell of a pitch slide.

That's OK. It just doesn't belong in Silicon Valley. Ship it out to XYZ Valley/Alley/Prairie. I'm also a fan of punctuated equilibrium and cladogenesis as opposed to evolution over millenia. But maybe that's ju

I'm much more interested in the company that brings us self-driving cars (or flying cars) than the glorified taxi company that leverages them. Call me a dreamer. I'll probably die broke and penniless though. Also, comedic if you t

Cardboard breaks down over time. It turns into particulate matter that goes airborne into really hot server intakes and comes out tiny little burning embers. If it didn't burn down Google's stuff, it could have burned down other p
