> They already do this through fingerprinting that operates with higher-layer protocols. It's very hard to distinguish my iPhone and Mac from the other dozens/hundreds people have in my building just through fingerprinting. Ver

The loan is a liability (and an asset on the bank's side) but the house itself is your asset and is treated as such. You pay capital gains tax on sold assets even if you used a loan to obtain them. For individuals there are exceptions

Not sure how is an accounting book relevant. I'd rather ask a tax consultant - the definitions are slightly but significantly different. Anyways, even by your book's definition - later sale for a higher price is economic benefit,

Assets don't have to produce any cash flow. Most popularly, gold. Stocks that provide stable dividends are also less and less usual. Assets can just hold their real value compared to inflation and that's useful enough - even losin

They didn't take a large share of US housing, they took a large share of available housing. Several orders of magnitude difference.

Housing can be an asset and a basic right. The rights based housing just isn't in the center of a capital city. Also, do you mean housing ownership, or just housing? People can be housed in houses they don't own too - and it'

That means there is not enough. Housing can't be affordable if a small set of organizations can have it all.

Running out of ports how? Someone is hosting 65536 public services in their home network? Why not just pay for an additional public ipv4 then? I can't configure anything technical about my internet. Any change is paid, and often simply

I want Delphi/WinForms for the modern web age. Not as a service - an IDE that builds my application and I deploy it as I see fit. Something that lets me drop down to code when I need it, but doesn't require me to do it for every o

I'm on DOCSIS to the Home / Fiber to the Building, but there seems to be some kind of overlay network and as a result, my PC that's hooked into the modem is on the public internet. Before IPv6 it was a classic internal LAN wi

On the other hand... What exactly is the benefit of IPv6 then? I thought the point was to make all my devices addressable on the public internet. How is it useful if the ISP firewall blocks my servers? And yes, incompetent ISPs are the norm

by throwaway1105q 2y ago
I don't quite understand what you mean by "any ipv6 deployment will have this". When my ISP switched to IPv6, my internal devices were exposed to the internet and the only thing that stopped the incredible amount of bot traff

How is that a useful critique? Yes, researchers publish research.
15.
by throwaway1105q 2y ago
Indeed. That's what I'm saying - you decide you want to research and so you publish. Nobody decides to publish and so does research.
16.
by throwaway1105q 2y ago
The real motivation is "I want to research this field", publishing is part of the way. Nobody is doing research "to publish something", there are much simpler fields to enter if that was the motivation.
17.
by throwaway1105q 2y ago
I don't understand your question. There are some cases of abuse and so the researchers shouldn't discuss applications of the research?

There are very significant budget/capability differences between any of the Arab Spring states and China. Also internal religious and ideological differences - there is no large armed faction in China.

I think the Mars goal helps them a lot with obsoleting their best product. It was obsolete from the start - they knew this one never goes to Mars, it's just a test bed for technologies and a money maker that helps them on the way. Whil

Could you clarify, then?

Not all, but many and especially these where existing parts can't match the UX. Lenovo or Dell doesn't care, they just buy from the lowest bidder.

Patents are stopping people from using non specific software code (ideas) all around the world.

by throwaway1105q 2y ago
What about patents? That might stop your idea even if you didn't know about the patent at all.

Even in firmware level code, you can still get most of the benefits. There are very few cases where you don't gain any safety at all.

It could be 200 out of 20k, or something like that. Though yes, you're right, lying makes sense.

Hahaha, that's a cool one. But yeah I never got something like that.

I do, but it's all wireless. My laptop and desktop both have Bluetooth.

My point was that 2 is really not enough to end the world. Damn their money, it's their problem. Launching nukes should require 200, not 2.

I was scared of getting a Mac for years because of the dongles. Then I got one from work (they even gave me the dongle and I made fun of it) and turns out I never use any of it. And then I realized the USB-A port on my desktop front panel h

Not so much it'd be visible in the price - maybe 5-10% up or down, more pronounced in remote locations. The location is the important factor. Realtors work with square area pricing set for entire towns or municipalities.
