Essentially, the fingerprint.
Emojis take up 32 bits each. So 4 emojis would be 128 bits.
Of course, this doesn't account for all the 4 byte unicode combos that don't result in an emoji, but still.

Same goes for a computer device. Go ahead, crack it.
The default behaviour of the Latvian layout in macOS is to make apostrophe a dead key, which really grinds my gears. So I made it alt+whatever letter instead. As a dev I use apostrophe way too much to be okay with typing '+space for it.
Only theoretically.
In practice, just because someone is willing to buy a completely insignificant stake (0.2%) for $500mn doesn’t make the entire company worth $175bn.
If anything, this is probably Elon and his friends pulling off an accounting trick.
I can register a company with a share capital of $1 and issue 1000000000000 shares with a nominal value of $0.000000000001 each. Then I could sell you one of those shares for $1 and then I could tell everyone that I’m a trillionaire. Which would technically be the truth.
63% of his Tesla shares are pledged as a collateral. Do the math.
So no, not his own money. His creditors’ money. He doesn’t have any money. He only has Tesla stock.
The party is over. The credit card is maxed out. The interest rates are rising. Someone will have to pick up the tab.
Holy shit, he’s more leveraged than I ever imagined.
Assuming it’s 2:1 leverage and his shares are worth $250bn... What the fuck has he spent >$80bn on?
In my native Latvia, a member of the EU, it’s the most commonly handed out criminal punishment. x hours of unpaid public work. Typically on a strict schedule. Or you can go to the can if you’re opposed to such “slavery”.
Oh and yes, there are also labour programs in our prisons that are probably comparable to the ones in the US. An easy sell actually, because you can either
1. fill your day by doing some work in horrible conditions for basically no pay, but you get to do something
2. rot in your cell all day long
I’m pretty sure that most people pick option 1. After all, you need a way to buy cigarettes.
Nobody calls this slavery.
We also have mandatory military service that started this year. I’m happy to call this slavery, because it’s imposed on people that haven’t done anything wrong.
But you seriously can’t compare forced labour as a punishment for a crime vs any other workplace. It’s disingenious for very obvious reasons. Why not go a step further? Why not claim that it’s a human rights violation to incarcerate people in the first place? After all, the universal declaration of human rights says that EVERYONE has the right to leave their country, re-enter it, and freely move about in their own country, and this is a “universal human right” that’s so clearly being denied to prisoners.
So forgive the international reader like myself for seeing nothing morally wrong with this state of affairs.
I would. They sold a service that they clearly cannot reliably provide.
Apple’s MO clearly is breaking something and refusing to elaborate further.
What technical investment? They bought an open-source project from a high-school student.
Beeper Mini is an app they would have built anyway. They simply implemented the bare minimum of iMessage functionality there. Which is a couple of days worth of work, maximum. Maybe a week. And some for testing.
I’m somewhat certain it cost them less than 5 figures. And if it did, what a great marketing campaign. I had no idea what Beeper even was before this whole fiasco.
Yes. If your prefix is dynamic, stateless NAT66 can reduce some headaches. But that’s just about the only use case.
But there is no traversable NAT if you’re stuck in CGNAT hell with no IPv6 and the CGNAT subnet they gave conflicts with the one you have. Unless you NAT it again or do some other route fuckery.
NAT4444 sounds really great!
- 128-bit addresses, expressed in hexadecimal. A single character is 4 bits (making every 4 bits a nibble boundary, making allocations really easy)
- All subnets are /64 (if you really want to have a different size subnet, you can, but it’s against the standard, and anything other than /64 will break SLAAC. There is one exception to the standard—point to point links are allowed to have a /127)
- The concept of a network address or a broadcast address within the subnet doesn’t exist. ff02::1 is the all-nodes link-local multicast address (serves the same purpose as a broadcast address in v4).
- ARP is gone. A very similar protocol, ND takes its place
- The preferred way to assign addresses to endpoint devices is SLAAC. Which is basically the router telling the endpoints to self-assign. Ridiculously small chance of a collision, and in case a collision happens, just run the rng again. It’s 64 bits after all. You can use DHCPv6 instead or in tandem with SLAAC if you need more granularity.
- You don’t need to use NAT. Which means you have to set up a firewall on the router correctly. Default-deny, while still allowing ALL ICMP traffic through, as ICMP is kinda vital for IPv6 because it’s used to communicate error conditions.
I’m sure I’ve missed something, but these are all the differences I can recall from the top of my head.
This is a needed feature if you have no IPv6 AND are stuck in CGNAT hell.
And I’m an IPv6 evangelist.
If Foxconn kills someone, a US company that hired Foxconn shouldn’t be responsible.
It’s not even Amazon exploiting these employees. It’s Foxconn.
If it was Amazon doing the exploitation, I’d absolutely agree with you.
You’d just shift the manufacturing to a less hostile environment, where the government doesn’t intentionally make it hard to do auditing on modern slavery. Like India.
I just don’t see how it would help the Chinese labour situation at all.
There's nothing western politicians can do to fix working conditions in China.
Embargo them? The working conditions in China won't get any better, and you'll simply put a lot of Chinese out of work by doing that.
Higher tariffs? That's just a tax on importing goods for China. While it helps the domestic manufacturing sector, it still does nothing to fix the working conditions in China.
Consumers suddenly start caring? The same as the "higher tariffs" scenario.
Any other ideas?
Companies are not sentient beings, they are made up of people. People that don't care.
Personally, I'm a consumer and I don't care either. I know where my t-shirts are made and I have a vague understanding under what conditions they are made.
This is not a problem that has to be fixed in the west. It's a problem that has to be fixed in China. But China doesn't want to fix it, because fixing it would make them less competitive globally.
Consumers WANT cheap goods. China OFFERS cheap goods. Companies offer the consumers exactly what they want. Simple as.
You really cannot blame only the companies without blaming the consumers too. And if you care, you can stop buying things manufactured in China.
> Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
So it makes little sense to compare prison labour programs to "any other workplace".
I would be surprised if this had ended differently.
I announce only IPv6, because I don't currently have access to any v4 blocks, they are expensive and I have little need for one.
Of course there are far more practical ways of going about it.
My brother in christ, have you heard of the patent system in general?
Try starting a new phone or laptop company. Your step 1 will be to acquire a patent war chest, so if someone sues you for patent infringement (and they will), you can sue them right back for the same.
In this world, if that company is for sale, someone much bigger is going to buy it, and make their technology their own exclusive. Be it Apple or Samsung or whatever. Getting hands on this tech _so your competitors don’t_ would also be a valid reason for acqusition.
