Did you write this? Do you have a link to the entire essay? I enjoyed the excerpt.

It’s really hard to even comprehend how large IPv6 is. I have found that extreme examples tend to help people get there. Here are some I’ve used in the past.

There are enough IPv6 Addresses for 4.77 x 10^28 for every living person.

If each IPv6 address was a grain of sand…

That’s 2.39 × 10^18 of addresses per person, or roughly enough sand sized addresses to equal about 1.8 times the volume of earths ocean per person.

At sand scale all IPv6 addresses would take the volume of 12 sols.

Conversely, all the IPv4 addresses in this sand scale would slightly over fill an oil drum.

I discovered the DVD Journal website tonight and read their last entry. It serves as an excellent snapshot of technology trends as of late summer 2007. Notably, it doesn't mention smartphones, even though the iPhone was released earlier that summer, but iPods are discussed. Additionally, the website's design features, such as nested tables for layout, an image as a background, and the use of image alignment attributes, are notable.

I’ve been using Google Voice this way too since 2011. Recently I have been considering porting my number out as the iOS app has become incredibly slow to the point of almost nonfunctional. Have you had a similar experience?

I would include Command and Control on a list of essential nuclear history reading. Specifically US and post WWII but fascinating and enlightening.

The book does. Have not seen the movie to know for sure but I believe the movie ends around 2008 or 09 at the time of the Storm’s release and before the QNX acquisition.

Yes I would say that working in the United States at a Federally Funded Research and Design Center https://www.nsf.gov/statistics/ffrdclist/ are great companies if only you can get into them.
