I have many, many issues with #IPv6, but at least there was always the confidence that the address space was never going to run out, because nobody would be dumb enough to repeat the mistakes learned from IPv4 allocation, right?

Figured it was time to read a historical paper, so Shannon's 1948 Mathematical Theory of Communication, aka, the Information Theory paper https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/6773024

I had no idea "bit" was a contraction of "binary digit"!

A mathematical theory of communication

The recent development of various methods of modulation such as PCM and PPM which exchange bandwidth for signal-to-noise ratio has intensified the interest in a general theory of communication. A basis for such a theory is contained in the important papers of Nyquist <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> and Hartley <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> on this subject. In the present paper we will extend the theory to include a number of new factors, in particular the effect of noise in the channel, and the savings possible due to the statistical structure of the original message and due to the nature of the final destination of the information.

@junosz there are a bunch of autistic, and adhd kids not getting the help they need because the school districts rather save a few bucks

@junosz I would dump that money on special education advocates for marginalized kids. Most of these kids have parents that hold more than one job, don't speak English or understand ADA and get shafted by school districts during IEP meetings
