IPv6 is BETTER from a traceability perspective (harder to track than IPv4), you are completely wrong on that. It isnt a conspiracy. IPv6 used to allocate traceable addresses, but it hasnt done that for a decade or more. With IPv4 NAT at home, they trace to your house (which has one public IPv4 Address) with NAT at any building, whoever runs the network can tell what your MAC address is and identify you. On your phone, the phone company has your IMEI and you are completely traceable as well. It is easy for governments to spy on people with the current tech. (all the above stuff is what Snowden and friends refer to as *metadata*)
IPv6 doesnt change much of that, but it adds the ability for true peer-to-peer connections, and allows the use of larger pools to pick addresses from, making it much harder to do network mapping. IPv6 isnt about privacy, but it doesnt make anything worse in that regard, and in some ways it makes it harder for spies.
Saying IPv6 is for traceability is the networking equivalent of being and anti-vaxxer.
IPv6 is an unequivocally good thing to get to, and I live in pain of IPv4 NAT (large environment) every day, and suffer greatly for it. Youre hurting me... Others in similar pain lashed out and called you clueless but didnt explain why, and abuse is unlikely change your mind. So here is an explanation:
DHCPv6 exists and is now being adopted, so any strategy used to allocate addresses in a LAN still works. You can have a lease that lasts 10 minutes if you want, and force use of a different address every time. A house typically gets one static IPv4 address. in IPv6 it typically gets a/64, which contains 2 billion entire internets, so the DHCP in any house can allocate addresses anywhere in 2 billion billion addresses and change them at the frequency they desire. good luck mapping that. I dont see any decrease relative to IPv4.
now you are probably referring to RA/SLAAC, which used to allocate an address that was calculable from the prefix and the MAC, and so easily traceable. in 2007 RFC4941 added privacy extensions which de-couples the addresses from the MAC, and uses explicitly temporary addresses that last a few days at a time at most, and its implemented everywhere. The addresses you are given are not calculable from anything, and they are not any more traceable than your public IPv4 on a NATed connection.
Using IPv4 and NAT everywhere forces people to do (fake) *peer-to-peer* using an intervening node to make contact, which is a great place to spy on people. Proper use of IPv6 would allow end-to-end (real peer-to-peer) and make spying much harder.
If you are concerned about something other than the above, then please mention it, and we will go through it. Please look into the technologies you are spouting off about and check for yourself, You will find that privacy and anti-snooping is at least as good on IPv6 vs. IPv4.
Process, process, process...
Why didnt management know how many checks had been done per month? if this process were *important* why was one persons memory enough to break it? Firing this person is scape goating of the worst sort.
Management is responsible for measuring employee results. Not measuring for a year, and then firing, is either abusive, or negligent or both... unless there was deceit involved, where they were asking the right questions, but she was giving deceitful answers.
A firewall with rules set to deny incoming connections, with a few allow rules for services you might have, and it's fine without NAT. There aren't any routers that come setup that way for IPv4, but all the IPv6 ones are, and it's fine.
NAT works great for small offices and homes, which is where it is fine, and the side effects of not routing inbound traffic is easier than setting up rules, but many people take that small case, and make the leap to: NAT is always what a firewall is supposed to do and then apply it in enterprise settings, so that large organizations are deployed using non-routable addresses. That is a mess, especially when there are mergers or remote management
or certain types of offpremises services which are all complicated a lot by enterprise application of NAT.
For IPv6, if you are doing NAT on your home router, you're doing it wrong.
Please dont advertise NAT as security. NAT just allows allocation non-routable addresses that has a convenient by-default side-effect of denying all incoming traffic. In IPv6, you want to just use access lists, rather than NAT, and NAT should die in a fire from its being terribly overused. Lots of people have this idea that NAT is "secure", and access lists arent and put NAT in places where it really has no business Its a very bad rumour that causes people to think that public addresses themselves are *insecure* and that we need to break end to end for security. Leads to many issues. NAT has it's place, but it isn't fu^%%*ing everywhere.
If both parties are on gmail... the client to server is SSL, there is no SMTP traffic traversing public networks. As long as you dont care if Google reads it (and frankly, I dont), then its pretty damn secure.
Even one person on gmail,and another on hotmail is likely fine, since they exchange traffic over SSL as well.
S/MIME was made in a world where mail was passed, un-encrypted on SMTP port along a chain of mail servers for every company on the internet. anybody operating any router between A and B, and there could be a lot of them, could intercept the mail and read it. Nowadays, a lot of that has collapsed into a few big mailers with many hundreds of thousands or millions of mailboxes. Traffic between those services is SSL encrypted these days. So as long as you dont care about the service operator seeing the mail, there is no problem. This is much safer than things used to be.
It depends on the kind of software you want to run. The thing being described is like a raspberrypi zero, although the zero is twice the clock, so my guess would be four times the power? power consumption is something like:
If you really need lowest power consumption, then something like freeRTOS makes a lot of sense. So yeah, it will not last for days on a coin-cell battery. But for applications where a power is not a constraint (inside an appliance, a wall wart, a solar cell, or some other kind of powered box) with a 5$ part you can run normal linux software on it, and it consumes about 200ma while tranceiving wifi. If this thing is running @ 500MHz, it could be only 50 ma.
tradeoff is relatively normal software environment in linux vs. hyper specialized rare coders and 1% of the application ecosystems available for RTOS.
uh... from the fine article:
"To get the process started, MediaTek is producing the first set of these new MCUs. These are low-powered, single-core ARM-A7 systems that run at 500MHz and include WiFi connectivity as well as a number of other I/O options."
so... pretty much exactly the specs of the original raspberry pi. Why didn't they just use pi's and raspbian? What did they do a custom kernel for? I've used the original pi as a dual-stack ipv4 & v6 router with iptables firewall. It runs any security stack you want... What did they actually need to build? I expect whatever it was could just easily have been built as a debian application package (like avahi say, or dhcpd, or apache) rather than into the kernel. The project does not make much sense with the information given.
Get something working (even if it only is 1% of what the real thing is supposed to do.) put it up on github.com. Make sure the build/test environment works on Linux, because that's where likely contributors are. Tell people about it. If it really is a world-changing idea, someone will care, and may contribute.
I have done a handful of open source projects. I'm convinced some of them are really cool, but they're niche, and it is very rare to get any help. In Startup jargon, they talk about *minimum viable product*. To make something attractive, so others will join, they need to see it as immediately doing something for them. I think you need to get your product to an MVP state before you start trying to get others to help.
If you cannot get working code on your own, then forget it. No-one will even understand what you project is about. Talking, explaining , etc... is very difficult. Show, don't tell applies in software. Getting *something* working also makes you learn a lot about the idea, and explore it and understand it better yourself.
Somebody mentioned bison and yacc. Those are tools that date back to the seventies when DSL's (Domain Specific Languages) were fashionable, they are about 90% of what you need to build a compiler. They have been used to build thousands of DSL's and would very likely be good enough to build an initial product, and you will learn a lot. If you still think it is a good idea after building the initial compiler, then great! Another approach would be to build the compiler in a *easy* language like python. This paper:
https://legacy.python.org/work... outlines an approach to doing that.
So those are technical strategies for doing what you want to do.
Personally I think inventing a new language is unlikely to be helpful. Programming languages are a means for people to talk to eachother very precisely. They go through exactly the same economic & network effects as human languages, and people are inventing human languages from time to time, and they don't catch on.
Examples: Esperanto, or more recently, Toki Pona (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toki_Pona) proposed in 2001, with 100 fluent speakers in the world! Worse, there are a lot of human languages that are dying off ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ) , not necessarily because of any genocide, but instead because the populations are being assimilated into bigger groups. This is just the Network effect (Oscar Meyer effect for North Americans of a certain age.)
Network effect is huge: people learn programming languages because other people already use them and provide libraries of stuff that is already done. Programming languages was a primary area of research in Computer Science in the 70's & 80's, taught formally at school, and there is a lot of literature and dead languages from that time. That seems to have calmed down a bit in recent decades, and the world seems to be converging a bit. There are still hundreds of reasonably popular (even if only in specific niches) languages and it is hard to imagine what *your* language would bring to the table that would be of sufficient value to overcome the massive network effect of introducing a new one.
there are explicitly pedagogical languages like Scratch ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... )
but the problem with pedagogical languages is that any skills the student acquires, they kind of need to start over with a *real language* at some point, so there needs to be a really big payoff to justify the diversion. The top programming languages ( https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-in... is one indicator ) are Java/C#, C/C++, and Python. Of those three, python is the obvious first choice in terms of ease of gett
They grow peaches in the Okanagan, and there is lots of great fruits and veg all around there. Seattle has pretty good access to normally grown fruit & veg. I would think it would be a far easier sell to someplace like Edmonton, Alberta, or if you need to stay in the US, Anchorage.
When you are starting out, your costs are going be higher, but with all the competition being flown in, you've got a real advantage...
You know, places like Churchill, Manitoba: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... In that example there is one person who is the *farmer*, and it is small scale, for a small community. But if these guys want to scale up, I guess they are wanting to do something like a vertical, hydroponic https://farm.bot/
These guys should team up with a company that runs data centres. MS, Amazon or Google... Those guys site their data centres beside a power dam. The waste heat is perfect for green houses, and the DC staff, could likely easily maintain farmbot equipment as well. And the power for the lighting will be cheaper than as well. It's amassively synergistic with data centres...
I'm in Montreal, my choice would be to talk to OVH out in Beauharnois: world's biggest data centre, a mostly empty ex-aluminum smelter, beside a 1.6 gigawatt power dam, next to a city of four million people that have six months of winter. Quebecers are pretty *grano* as well, organic would be a big seller here.
Seattle just doesn't strike me as the easiest place to start with.
Agree that more data means more processing, but if you cant process the data, add hardware. Processing is CHEAP. and the Nvidia packages applying GPUs to the problem are bringing ever more compute to bear on the problem each year.
I cant remember the last time I checked the RADAR or the LIDAR while I was driving. I completely agree that more sensors results in more data, and computers have the processing power to deal with it that humans would need some kind of sci-fi HUD to be able to use.
Having more sensors is good for drivers regardless of whether they are fleshbags or processed sand. An autonomous vehicle will likely be 10x safer than a human without LIDAR, and perhaps 100x safer with it. LIDAR is getting cheaper, but a few years ago, one LIDAR was the price of an entire car. I dont see the logic in refusing to deploy something that is *only* 10x safer, when the *safer* version is cost prohibitive for many cases.
and of course, she would have been plainly visible if passive IR were used, again to an automated or a fleshy driver.
uh... the water isn't "disappearing." Do you think it's going to achieve escape velocity and join the asteroid belt? The distribution is changing, and it's happening gradually. So perhaps in a 100 years, Nevada will be the place where farming is easiest, and the land there will be fertile, whereas coastal Califorinia will be submerged, or walled. Agriculture and irrigation have always been synonyms. People have always migrated, and bigger migrations are under way now.
The Katrina example is great: Around 1600 in Louisiana died in Katrina, out of a population of four and a half million. If we use death rate as a metric, then compare to other sources of death and see what the bigger problem is: 35,000 people die unexpectedly in car crashes in the US, and six million die of malnutrician in the world every year. Even if there were a Katrina every year, it wouldn't be even close to our biggest problem. Pick another metric, about 250,000 people moved as a result of Katrina. Far more people have had to move as a resulting of manufacturing clearing out of the rust belt in the US.
Calling him a shill is just abuse, not an argument. There have been several thoughtful environmentalists who are pro nuclear ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ) for reasons that aren't the least pecuniary. I'm not saying I agree with the article, just that your arguments are poorly constructed and illustrative of exactly the sort of blindness to math that the authors decry. I wish the article pointed to some numbers so that one could grasp whether their points make sense or not. Without seeing real data, it's just who has the biggest anecdote.
The companies given above are in North America, not.fr, and use of.com for commercial enterprises is pretty universal in Canada, and a lot of their clients are English speaking. Also, there is McGill.edu.net,.org, and dw.com (which is German.) There are many many non-us uses of these domains, and that suited people well for a long time. Like it or not..com is not American..com means a business, and is generally used as a multi-national domain, not U.S. specific. Endless examples: seat.com (Spanish division of VW, good luck buying one in the US.), Softbank.com (Japanese), peugeot.com, citroen.com, mercedes-benz.com (is the international web site, not the American one.)
In any event, even if you had an American domain, that doesnt necessarily mean its English. Other language television networks or groups in the US should only use English names? telelatino.com, sinovision.net, etc... Country != language. Should dw.com actually be dw.us or dw.com.uk because it is in English, even though it is a German broadcaster? Your position doesnt exten very well either, what about.tv ?.org,.net should it be English only? or other languages allowed? How are people going to know whether a domain allows international characters or not? Now youre going to say.fr domains should be in FR, but there are lots of multilingual countries: Canada (2), Belgium (2) , Switzerland(3), India (22).
Even if you grant everything you say, everybody else in the world (the vast majority of the world's population) would still have the problem of similar looking domains, so you are asking for an English specific solution, that helps only English speaking people, and makes them less able to deal with domains that are
outside the intentially crippled ones reserved for English language usage. So people who are saying "no internaltional characters on this 1 (2? 3?) TLD are just advocating a ghetto that makes people more vulnerable when the TLD is not one of the select few.
I bet you only speak English. For people who speak other languages, Unicode is rather useful. Yes, different languages use different character sets that can resemble each other. Yes, people can be fooled, but security doesnt trump the ability to have natural looking URLs in the native languages of most of the planet.
télétoon.com (doesnt work) is much more natural than teletoon.com to a French speaker. At least vidéotron.com works (it gets rewritten to canonical videotron.com) There are plenty of legitimate uses for that feature. Add to that that most western european language speakers are completely used to accented characters, so usually the only ones likely to be fooled are the English only speakers.
So you want to limit the web to English DNS entries because English speaking people dont notice accented characters.
Sorry, world wont comply.
If you use an arm, they can use a standard cheap grill.
For now, all it does it flip burgers, but either with a second arm, or with attachments on the primary arm, it could switch to do more tasks itself (adding cheese, and the top of the bun.)
the arm is a good step along the way, where the moving bed doesn't give a step on the way to further automation.
I'm sure you guys have been through a lot, would be great to get a real war story, likely after you have slept. for now: I can't update my project's static web site because group permissions seem to be hosed since the DC move (and the owner is a guy who left the team a year ago.) chown doesn't work (though it claims to.) submitted a ticket... but I think the ticketing system down also. sigh...
I have never walked into a house that had a router less than five years old. I keep mine for 10 years at least, it's a natural lifetime. Do any manufacturers provide software updates for hardware > 2 years old? no. I have two google nexus 5 phones, no software support at all
I'm sure appliance companies said, sorry your washer is two years old, we don't stock those parts, they wouldn't stay in business very long. I don't understand making objects smart suddenly makes their useful lives shorter than a gerbil's.
clarification: in German, Wein is wine, Wien is Vienna...
I suppose there could be Viennese wine, would would be wiener wein, but that sounds gross in English.
Mazda's claim sounds like a bold-faced lie. They need to print the numbers behind their 'well to wheel' efficiency calculation, as it isn't credible. Last I read, it takes at least 4 Kwh to refine a gallon of gasoline. This is just the electricity used in the refinery, no transport to the refinery or transport to the gas station. That's enough to go 33 km at the above stated efficiency.
Another method of proof: have the CEO spend a day in a sealed garage with the engine running. Do not use monkeys. If it's clean enough that that does not cause health problems, then the claim may have some merit.
The shakti stuff looks really interesting. The target is essentially an open source hardware version of a raspberry pi! That's great! If you want great market acceptance, built it to be physically compatible (board size, connector placement, pinouts) with a raspberry pi, and there will be good acceptance.
It would be great if appliance makers would adopt the r-pi hw form-factor as a standard and have appliances that hooked into (relays and such) so that the main processor board was cheaper, more standard, and easier to interface with. Connected, yest, but also patchable, and also hackable home appliances. With the OS on an SD-CARD, one can get more assurances of security as well.
*Appliances*, can be anything from a toaster, fridge, slow cooker, to a centrifuge... it means a secure processor that can be used in industrial processes with more assurance as well, but with the development costs mostly underwritten by consumer market.
I run software that distributes non-sensitive data across wide area networks... many people at each site want the same data, so I stick a web caching proxy on the site, and the big data (many gigs worth) are all transferred once, and then served from the local caching proxy.
encrypting means the caching proxy needs to man-in-the middle, or it's just borked.
stupid.
As well as being low-cost, think about future defibrilator drones that will understand when someone falls down and needs them, flies to them, and administers the life saving treatment, or drones that follow diabetics around with an auto-injector. Give those drones the wrong drug, or the wrong settings, and they kill. Just like a hammer can hit the head of a nail or a person. Or send a bomb in parcel delivered by amazon delivery drone. I dont understand how to implement a ban on killer drones that doesnt take out all kinds of life saving ones at the same time.
I can get about 20 channels from a small uhf antenna out the window. It doesn't matter: Nobody uses it. I used to have a mythtv setup that could record everything, and we used to watch stuff together, but after a while nobody used it, nobody could be bothered to set up recording of anything. The kids and wife will not watch on anyone else's schedule, especially if they can't pause it, and they can find everything they are interested in online. Yeah, broadcast really is feeling flintstone. With Netflix and even local news on youtube live, there is nothing on local tv to watch. My perfectly serviceable HDTV with amplifier is disconnected, and nobody said boo. Just don't mess with the internet though!

Yes, people can be fooled, but security doesnt trump the ability to have natural looking URLs in the native languages of most of the planet. télétoon.com (doesnt work) is much more natural than teletoon.com to a French speaker. At least vidéotron.com works (it gets rewritten to canonical videotron.com) There are plenty of legitimate uses for that feature. Add to that that most western european language speakers are completely used to accented characters, so usually the only ones likely to be fooled are the English only speakers. So you want to limit the web to English DNS entries because English speaking people dont notice accented characters. Sorry, world wont comply.
If you use an arm, they can use a standard cheap grill. For now, all it does it flip burgers, but either with a second arm, or with attachments on the primary arm, it could switch to do more tasks itself (adding cheese, and the top of the bun.) the arm is a good step along the way, where the moving bed doesn't give a step on the way to further automation.
I'm sure you guys have been through a lot, would be great to get a real war story, likely after you have slept. for now: I can't update my project's static web site because group permissions seem to be hosed since the DC move (and the owner is a guy who left the team a year ago.) chown doesn't work (though it claims to.) submitted a ticket... but I think the ticketing system down also. sigh...
I have never walked into a house that had a router less than five years old. I keep mine for 10 years at least, it's a natural lifetime. Do any manufacturers provide software updates for hardware > 2 years old? no. I have two google nexus 5 phones, no software support at all I'm sure appliance companies said, sorry your washer is two years old, we don't stock those parts, they wouldn't stay in business very long. I don't understand making objects smart suddenly makes their useful lives shorter than a gerbil's.
clarification: in German, Wein is wine, Wien is Vienna... I suppose there could be Viennese wine, would would be wiener wein, but that sounds gross in English.
Another method of proof: have the CEO spend a day in a sealed garage with the engine running. Do not use monkeys. If it's clean enough that that does not cause health problems, then the claim may have some merit.
*Appliances*, can be anything from a toaster, fridge, slow cooker, to a centrifuge ... it means a secure processor that can be used in industrial processes with more assurance as well, but with the development costs mostly underwritten by consumer market.
I run software that distributes non-sensitive data across wide area networks... many people at each site want the same data, so I stick a web caching proxy on the site, and the big data (many gigs worth) are all transferred once, and then served from the local caching proxy. encrypting means the caching proxy needs to man-in-the middle, or it's just borked. stupid.
As well as being low-cost, think about future defibrilator drones that will understand when someone falls down and needs them, flies to them, and administers the life saving treatment, or drones that follow diabetics around with an auto-injector. Give those drones the wrong drug, or the wrong settings, and they kill. Just like a hammer can hit the head of a nail or a person. Or send a bomb in parcel delivered by amazon delivery drone. I dont understand how to implement a ban on killer drones that doesnt take out all kinds of life saving ones at the same time.
I can get about 20 channels from a small uhf antenna out the window. It doesn't matter: Nobody uses it. I used to have a mythtv setup that could record everything, and we used to watch stuff together, but after a while nobody used it, nobody could be bothered to set up recording of anything. The kids and wife will not watch on anyone else's schedule, especially if they can't pause it, and they can find everything they are interested in online. Yeah, broadcast really is feeling flintstone. With Netflix and even local news on youtube live, there is nothing on local tv to watch. My perfectly serviceable HDTV with amplifier is disconnected, and nobody said boo. Just don't mess with the internet though!
