"Rhinorrhea". Literally diarrhea for your nose. TIL.

With what economy? Russia has a yearly GDP of $2.2T. Going to spend 50% of that on defense in one year? Or are we talking over the course of 10 years? At which point the geopolitical situation will have changed and Putin will likely be dead.

There is something there, but mostly I think existing net admins try to map their existing IPv4 knowledge onto IPv6. That doesn't work very well. It needs to be treated as its own thing.

Right, not the only reason, but it's a sticking point.

You shouldn't need to connect to your smart thermostat by using the company's servers as an intermediary. That makes the whole thing slower, less reliable, and a point for the company to sell your personal data (that last one being the ultimate reason why it's done this way).

That's nothing that can't be done with a good set of firewalls on IPv6.

I know it's a joke, but the idea that NAT has any business existing makes me angry. It's a hack that causes real headaches for network admins and protocol design. The effects are mostly hidden from end users because those two groups have twisted things in knots to make sure end users don't notice too much. The Internet is more centralized and controlled because of it.

No, it is not a security feature. That's a laughable claim that shows you shouldn't be allowed near a firewall.

Fortunately, Google reports that IPv6 adoption is close to cracking 50%.

Whenever someone brings up "traditional Chinese medicine" as somehow being better, remember that Chinese folk remedies are almost entirely responsible for rhino poaching.

The media companies have been run by right wing shit brains since forever. In the past, they generally let the writers do whatever they want as long as the money keeps flowing.

That may be changing. Not clear yet.

That's how the original was written, too. Actually, I'd say the show is an improvement in the characters.

It reminds me a lot of golden age science fiction. Fantastic, imaginative story. Characters that are complete cardboard. The third book is basically "women can't make the hard, necessary decisions that men can" so that's going to be fun to see how the show does it.

Maybe he should try Viagra rather than firing people in order to get hard? Seems healthier.

I've got that. It doesn't help with GDPR popups, notification requests, app pushes, etc.
