We're also working on a reverse DNS geolocating backend BTW. We will look into this paper.
Complete prefixes just block off all ICMP incoming traffic, as do many core internet infra-structural devices (although they may pass them on, they won't answer pings directed to them).
Also easily normalizing (lat,lon)s isn't so straight forward.
And then there's subtleties when people are actually not using the WGS84 but a crs/datum one shifted a few tens of miles.
Sort of surprised that nobody compares this to geohash[0], though.
I hope that Google will be throwing its weight behind it (seems so for now) and proposes a rfc for this so we can stop bikeshedding about geo encoding standards.
This. Doesn't this hold for so many professions or just so many things we do in life?
What an excellent interview and what good to see such a positive insight on (a part) of Italy's economy. In the aftermath of the financial crisis in 2008 a lot of Italy bashing (together with basically all Southern European EU countries) has been going on, most of it completely based on stereotypes.
Also makes me wonder if cooperations like these are one of the reasons why (Northern) Italian design is so damn good.
My point being if you have a lot you can risk a lot in absolute terms, but maybe not so in terms relative to your own wealth or well-being.
I don’t think he even risked his reputation with his space rocket thing. ‘Fail fast, etc’, right?
Now I know that there is a big lobby in favour of agriculture in the Netherlands, that is highly successful and had basically a political party in its pocket up until the mid-90s - the CDA, you might want to google Gerrit Braks for example. This lobby was one of the enablers of the rise of the high-tech agri-cultural industry in the Netherlands as we know it today.

O well, I was somewhat consoled by my neighbour how pointed me to 'Les glaneurs et la glaneuse', a documentary by Agnes Varda about people who try to live on waste fruit and vegetables in Paris. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gleaners_and_I
First, If we would never try what in the past has failed then we would be really in a very stagnant state. Second, the EU has not failed, the EU is still the main reason for the prosperity most of its members have gained and still continue to gain after WWII. That it has had some backlashes recently does not mean at all that it has failed.
> The EU is not necessary for free trade.
It is not. It is however necessary for a internal economic market that guarantees the free flow of capital and labor, which is much wider/different in scope than free trade. Free trade can be arranged with a few trade treaties in neo liberal style.
Just see and be humbled by the staggering, staggering losses of Soviet Russia in relation to other allies or Nazi Germany during ww2.
"It will signal that the U.S. has changed its position and no longer believes in a private-sector led internet and that governments will play a primary role in making the final decision. Russia, China, and others will welcome such a decision."

ICANN and others are afraid that certain, mostly authoritarian governments will want to break away from the global DNS and/or IP allocation system to form alternative, walled systems under the pretext that the US government 'controls the internet'.
So ICANN and others want to take away any argument, however feeble, that supports this position.

Thing is it only works in non-bridged mode latest generation Technicolor modems. If you need bridge mode, they will switch you back to IPv4.
