tzakrajs··on The world in which IPv6 was a good design (2017)
IPv6 (L3) still uses MAC addresses because it relies on frames (L2) to encapsulate the packet. For example, the multicast address ff02::1 is really just 33:33:00:00:00:01. It allows for the coexistence of multiple network layer (L3) protocols.

Exactly. It’s not enough to say “oh we are trying to stop flame wars” when we are trying to talk about these topics to stop literal wars from occurring.
tzakrajs··on Hong Kong Police Fire Tear Gas, Rubber Bullets at Protesters
Because they don’t add any concession statements around how CCP has no social power or respect in Hong Kong. The article was so sterile it understated the need for autonomy in Hong Kong. The questions it answered were loaded and the answers were Xi Pooh approved.

Thank you for writing about this. I am happy to see you engaging with the community on this.
tzakrajs··on A new round of antitrust questions can’t go well for Google
I am curious why you think Google, given its spurious record with privacy, security and labor, that it would have the best engineers? Not to mention engineers in the valley often lambast Google for sun setting every decent platform that engineers care about.

Also, I think that this article was inherently political. To ask me not to mention politics in my comment of it is not in good faith. I can't see how this isn't more stifling to intellectual curiosity.

tzakrajs··on Interview with Reid Hoffman
I think he means the correction of a system with wealth inequality that leads to the people we love most suffering through no fault of their own. We can see the backsliding of quality of life for people who's output has been unchanging for decades. Many of us have friends and family who live "back home" and are not software engineers with healthy budgets. Many of us are married to or are related to people who come from different socio-economic, ethnic or racial backgrounds which have given us the uncommon knowledge (to privileged society) of what it is like to be stuck in a class of perpetually losing.
tzakrajs··on Interview with Reid Hoffman
Except Reid Hoffman is doing the ultimate in sideline sitting by supporting milquetoast campaigns and candidates with small ideas. This article is a puff piece where he manages to make no interesting or bold political claims. I am going to hold our leaders to a higher standard.

PAY YOUR TAXES REID, THATS ALL WE NEED.

Sorry I misspoke. I should have said only that iOS allows side loading. I thought Netflix was utilizing this.
tzakrajs··on How Qualcomm shook down the cell phone industry for almost 20 years
Except that isn't what is happening. Side loading is allowed on iOS and is how Netflix is currently monetizing their iOS users.

Two of those people are billionaires and the Carly Fiorina is also incredibly rich ($50-60 mil) after departing HP.
tzakrajs··on Tech billionaires who donate millions are just “bribing society at large.”
Except "reduce taxes" on corporations is not helping anything. In fact its causing the nations deficit to grow and programs are being cut that help the poorest people. The federal government is still destroying our friends and family.

We've become an oligarchy, a corporate welfare state

tzakrajs··on Tech billionaires who donate millions are just “bribing society at large.”
And it was facile and therefore incorrect.

I can’t tell if your attempt at oversimplifying was done in good faith, but if you paid attention to recent tax legislation you would see that the elimination of taxes is only permanent for corporations and not low income families. If the elimination of taxes isn’t happening fairly then the transfer of wealth is unsustainable. That is a problem.

Im surprised that people are so eager to protect their overlords when our friends and family finances are getting destroyed by the federal governments policy.

Glad everything is hunky dory wherever it is you live but my culture and nation is heading towards revolution.

Right and long term capital gains are the lowest tax rate. Rich get their money from income sources with inherently low tax rates and then have holding corporations to own all of their shit so they don’t have to claim personal income. Poor people basically never do these things because it takes time, opportunity and/or and education they probably don’t have.

I wonder if it's because embalming is a product you can sell someone with a large profit margin because the market price of body embalming is murky at best.

tzakrajs··on Millennials and Gen Z Increasingly Pessimistic About Their Lives, Survey Finds
Our minds aren't really that special as engineers, we were typically shown a path to engineering from our parents or environment that lead us here. It was a real privilege to receive that pathway. That isn't so say there wasn't hard work, but the path provided ample motivation. Not so for many of our contemporaries who have the same very capable bundles of neurons in their brains but no pathway to elicit motivation to do the things we do.

There are dozens of homeless people who live in encampments right outside my window. I hate this place sometimes.
