What this parking app (and there are a couple of others too) does is encourage people to drive into town and make money by parking in spots, auctioning it off, then driving to the next one and repeating the process.
Just guess how much chaos this will cause when a lot of people start doing this professionally.
I see every spot taken by a car with someone in the driver's seat. I see this escalating into organized groups doing this, and then those groups start fighting over territories.
"ParkModo, which appears poised to launch later this week, according to recent employment postings on Craigslist, will employ drivers at a rate of $13.00 per hour to occupy public parking spaces in the Mission District."
Uh huh. Assholes gaming a system. I see the next revenue source for tweakers.
"You can use [external] ultrasound, but the technician has to be there the whole time to hold it on the chest."
Use a strap.
Why wasn't that the follow-up question?
You: Read it again: declines with density. DECLINES. Mercury is very dense, hence its stiffness has DECLINED to the point where it is very low.
Subby: "that's why when bone density decreases, fractures become more likely"
Someone's incorrect here.
What's your idea of "crappy cheap notebook with the crappy cheap keyboards" that breaks all the time?
I buy cheap, and the keyboards don't break. Take a hammer to the keyboard, however.... Are you saying you type with a hammer?
That's not a euphemism...
So you can buy a cheap keyboard that breaks in six months
I've never broken a keyboard through typing alone, and I type a lot. What are you doing to break your keyboards in 6 months?
It’s a widely accepted reality within the technology industry that youth rules. But at least part of the extreme age imbalance can be traced back to advertisements for open positions that government regulators say may illegally discriminate against older applicants. Many tech companies post openings exclusively for new or recent college graduates, a pool of candidates that is overwhelmingly in its early twenties.
...
“In our view, it’s illegal,” Raymond Peeler, senior attorney advisor at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the federal agency that enforces workplace discrimination laws said about the use of “new grad” and “recent grad” in job notices. “We think it deters older applicants from applying.”
Am I the only one who thinks that much of the quality control and failed projects in the tech industry can be attributed to age discrimination?
It doesn't help that IPv6 doesn't play nicely with dynamic address assignment
The prefixes won't change that often. (years.. decades?)
But if you're that paranoid, use the FE80 link-local address. That will never change.
I think the deniers are the same people, with the same arguments.
It's easy to spot the people who don't know what they're talking about. Over the last few days:
1) Just re-assign multicast!
2) Hey, they don't appear to be using those addresses, let's take those!
3) Double/Triple-NAT is good enough for me and everyone else!
4) Let's give out one IP address to everyone and we'll be set for awhile!
5) Let's make a new protocol!
6) IPv6 addresses are too big to remember!
7) You just need to sell it better!
All of those show fundamental misunderstandings about networking. And that part is OK. The problem is that people think they know about flying a plane because they've flown a paper airplane.
Calm down people. Stop trying to barge into the cockpit.
You keep using the word "sizzle" which makes me think you work in sales.
Your analogy doesn't work, because everyone already has the equipment. Everyone is already onboard. The pilot is refusing to use the new avionics because he's lazy.
I'm sorry to say, but this conversation is over your head. Your sales analogies aren't tech-savvy, but that's OK! I don't even need to convince you of anything, because it'll happen without you. We don't even need to tell you.
I don't need to how the plane flies to get from one destination to another. You seem to think that's necessary, for some reason.
Yes, having 2^128 addresses will make routing so much simpler.
Indeed, it will. All IPv6 addresses are regional. There won't be any subnets split across continents.
So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of money? -- Ayn Rand
