I'm sure the big operators are more than happy to limit possible competition, but that's not the primary reason why LTE-LAA is assisted.

First, LTE-U with its fixed pattern is a quick n' dirty non standard proposal. It's not even acceptable everywhere, as some countries (Europe for example) do require LBT in the 5 GHz band, which LTE-U does not do. So I'll skip that part.

For the 3GPP standard LTE-LAA, a fundamental reason that it requires a primary channel in licensed bands is that the way LTE works does require an always-on, reserved channel. This is the way LTE do works in licensed bands: the channel is fully reserved for LTE, under full eNB control. Changing this fundamental assumption would be a major breakage, and much much more effort. The result would be very different. Whereas using LTE carrier aggregation, with a primary channel in a licensed band and using the unlicensed 5 GHz band for downlink only (UL has some added challenges that makes it unpractical) secondary channel(s) with LBT is not too difficult. It's an incremental changes, but does not require breaking a fundamental assumption.
And in this case, LTE-LAA could perform like other technologies (to be checked, but possible on principle).

So even if it fits with the operator wishes, the assisted part is also the sane way to add 5 GHz support to LTE from a pure technological point of view.
I have been looking at web frameworks on JVM's a little bit lately for work (yeah doing coding again). My most recent experience has been doing some hobby projects with Ruby and Rails framework. I like how that works for simple CRUD apps, a lot less mundane coding is needed compared to my programming in Java web apps 5-8 years ago.

There has been some decent research by Raible Designs on this topic: http://raibledesigns.com/rd/entry/grails_angular_vs_jhipster or http://www.slideshare.net/mraible/comparing-jvm-web-framewor...

I don't know the author but those articles have led me towards looking into JHipster. Grails didn't sit well with me since I have done Ruby/Rails prior to that and some things just appeared backwards with Grails.

My personal results recently were that JHipster was a bit cumbersome to get going since there are so many dependencies to install. Some of which I could not get to compile/setup with Node.js. Since my target app is an enterprise corporate environment, that is a non-starter. I'm leaning towards Ruby/Rails but with JRuby and the warbler gem to basically WAR up the Rails app so I can deploy to something simple like Tomcat.
Is there an append function? Otherwise it seems like it will have to send the entire file for each incremental write.

Uh, no. Leave unlicensed spectrum alone. That belongs to the people.

If licensed spectrum is in finite, constrained supply, let the market take care of that. Raise the price as it becomes more constrained, and wait a couple of years for the next technology change that increases the density.

Maybe because even the Government didn't think anyone was so stupid?

Appraisals are made for a purpose. The person paying has more influence on that purpose. If the offer does not interest you "no" is best. If you want to move on, sell.
I think one solution would be for internet providers to upgrade their offer. They started by offering you an email box, then stopped. Some offer storage space, and a few of them offer blog platform, but they've all surrendered against facebook.

Why wouldn't internet providers offer your own personnal profile page and news feed, only instead of being stored and owned by a company whose respect for private data and business model seem contradictory, let someone you already pay something for handles it.

Then we would need protocols again, because internet providers are numerous, and don't need to dominate the world to be profitable.

Note : i can think of many other services that would be good candidates for an isp to offer : youtube, linked in, photo sharing, etc.
I ran into a journalist in the middle east a couple of years ago in a hotel bar typing away on an M100. He said that he still used it because it was the only "laptop" he couldn't break, the battery life was better than most anything else and his local bureau still had an analog modem and he could upload his story as long as he could find a phone line (internet not required). Apparently he's not the only journo working this way.

Just like I use google and several other services that are simply too big now to get around. I used twitter from long before they closed their offering and I'm still pissed off about it. Use an open policy to attract developers then close as soon as you have achieved critical mass is a very very nasty strategy.

This spec is almost a copy of the existing APIs but with some additions, which in my experience they were very needed. The old APIs won't stop working. If you don't want several code paths use either the old APIs or pointer events with polyfill.

IMHO, the most important changes are pen support and the "touch-action" CSS property[1].

There have been many attempts to make native-looking HTML5 apps in phones and tablets. Do you know why none feel native? Scrolling. When you scroll, pan, zoom... JS events must fire and many things must happen before redrawing the screen. That's avoided with the "touch-action" property. There are other reasons but this has been the most important one.

If you want gory details, try G'MIC[1]. It has plugins for GIMP and Krita, an online version[2], a ridiculous number of filters[3] and features, and a command language. On the other hand, it makes things like imagemagick look simple and user friendly. My favorite quote from the "Beginner's Cookbook":

Oh I don't disagree with you, I'm not delusional enough to think that people are going to move to irc, or that it'll become mainstream, it's just a bit saddening. But the thing is it doesn't really matter because irc is a protocol. I don't ever have to worry about support getting dropped because someone wants to monetize it differently. The protocols will never get closed down all of the sudden because it's not popular enough. I can keep running my server as long as I want, independently of any company's decisions. I got a few friends set up on it years ago, and new people join from time to time. It's versatile enough that I just run bitlbee and have access to a bunch of other chat services over irc, all in one client.

I think people will get tired of not being able to communicate between their silos and if they get locked in enough, won't want to leave their own service for another one.

Between the title and the quoted, I think you have used up your hyperbole quota for one day.

I guess I don't see the issue. The internet is a large piece of infrastructure on which citizens and companies can publish (almost) anything they want. Lamenting that for-profit ventures have tried to wall off their parts is curious, as I am not sure how that impacts me or my decisions. I don't facebook, I don't tweet, and I could not care less that these things exist. (Not entirely true, but my objections to them would be off-topic.) The world is a very large place, and there will always be people who hang out in the more distant corners of the net, you can go be with like-minded people and talk about the good ole days of (insert bygone era here).

Now if you are lamenting this because you want a piece of the action and the big kids are being bullies, then I suppose my answer isn't going to comfort you any. But for just simple usage, I think this is a tempest in a teapot.
Where are there larger disparities inside of a country than from a large emigrating country? The reason people from Mississippi don't all pack up and move to California is they are per capita richer than the UK, even though in the US that state is considered the poorest.

Absolutely false. There is no record of national account abnormalities on any country other than Greece.
I would not be excited about my ISP offering these extra services. I just want them to be dumb pipes- deliver my data without messing with it in any way. That should be their only business concern, and all innovation efforts should be spent on improving their network.
I think you are oversimplifying the events. I'm not suggesting there was nothing wrong with EAM. However, the article is about the British involvement that lead to the December '44 events. They freed and armed the Greeks who collaborated with the Nazi regime and they disarmed (or tried to disarm) only ELAS members. Of course Greek citizens would protest against that. And it was policemen armed by the British who opened fire against a peaceful crowd. I really can't see how you can justify this.

It strongly tends to, because having your own computer (especially a phone) set up to answer inbound HTTP is both administratively difficult (fiddling with NAT and dyndns, etc) and a security risk.

This is Schneier's argument about "security feudalism". And to some extent touched on by the article - people build on top of well-understood transport layers in order to reduce risks, and novel protocols are firewalled in case of novel risks.
What does "belongs to the people" mean in this context? Should Starbuck not be able to put up Wifi access points? Only private users? Belongs to the people sounds a lot more like ham radio really.
You would probably need a good overview of the technologies in use. I can very much recommend the book "From GSM to LTE"[0]. It goes through all the networks back from GSM and up to LTE, which are needed, since all are in fact still in use.

After that you could probably keep an eye on telecom news sites to follow the ongoing things and regulations.

That should at least get you going.

Jamming LTE to force a switch to 3G is possible.

It does imply this was in some part a TLS fail.

Uh I got a BS in Computer Science in 2004. There were never any jobs for us, much less ones that offered six figures. I thought that I was borderline competent. I was the smartest kid in my high school. I programmed an operating system and a raytracer. I built games for fun. But when I look for jobs everyone just tells me what a good investment my degree was. Having a degree doesn't get your foot in the door. How can I make it an investment that pays off? It was something that was completely worthless.
Yeah, but that can easily be implemented in a client, have the client issue commands to nickserv. Same with avatars, just have a url in your VERSION to the avatar or something. All the features of eg. slack could be implemented client side on top of irc. I even run slack via their irc gateway. I handle file/image uploads with my tiny daemon running on http://paste.click and it's easier (for me) with keybindings than just dragging a file onto the screen, although it wouldn't be difficult to implement it.

And it's not silly at all, I understand it, I just wish it wasn't the case. I don't like it but I get it and I don't expect that irc will ever hit the mainstream. Maybe something similar will in the future.
In some ways, it may be worse than the OP suggests as we apparently race towards mobile apps. Seems about the right time for PointCast+. Its the proverbial technology pendulum. It seems obvious that we'll continue our momentum and maybe even abandon the generic browser and revert to the (now mobile-based) fat client past.

Much of the article seems devoted to concerns about proprietary protocols and closes with a plea to keep protocols open with a published specification. I think this is a reasonable concern and a noble plea, but yet also an (unfortunately) unreasonable request. Companies are developing their protocols to support their needs, not yours.

Its reasonable to want access to the data companies are collecting. Its valuable data. But these companies are not in the data services business. And if they were, its reasonable for them to charge a handsome price for the access you are looking for. Imagine the black eye a company would get for trying that approach.

Perhaps there's a view that says, users freely give the data so they should be able to freely get it back. But there's a counter argument that users are "compensated" for contributing their data in the form of free access to the services it provides. Given the amount of time people spend on social apps, its reasonable to think they value the "free" service highly.

IIRC there was a start-up that attempted to build an alternative social network based on open standards... It didn't go very far. Perhaps people need to learn to vote with their actions. Maybe we need to try that again and convince more of the influential technical folks to jump ship. Maybe through competition the non-open establish players can be shown the value of openness.
Cool, absolutely looking forward to this.

I agree that they are two different business models, but the content on both of them are the same, right?

Wouldn't it be easier to have two separate login pages on the same App? (One authenticates with HBO itself & the other with Comcast/Time Warner et al.) Once authentication is done, you get to see the same content.

They could have removed HBO Go on Apple's devices when Now launched & then gradually remove Go, as Now spread to remaining platforms.

I don't think the hack involves the cellular data connection, and it would be a very different hack if it did.

To clarify, the OnStar system in your vehicle talks to a data center at GM or wherever. When you use the app, it talks to that data center, and if you have an authenticated, actived session, the data center intermediates commands from the app to the vehicle.

This looks and smells like an entirely standard MITM type attack. He runs a rogue WAP, or listens in on low encryption APs, and when someone uses the app it exploits some weakness in the SSL/TLS process of the app (maybe DNS poisoning coupled with an app that doesn't demand a root signed cert from the peer). That can be fixed immediately and really is remarkably limited in utility and threat.

...but, I've never been in charge of my career path. There have never been any jobs for us. Yes I work on video games in my free time but now I have been doing it for a decade and I have never found anyone to show my games to. The problem isn't that my startup did work out, the problem is that my life isn't working out. How am I supposed to feed myself every day if I don't have money? How am I supposed to program every day when I can't feed myself. Every day I am slipping further and further behind and nobody has any clue what to do.

I don't have any clue how to talk to hiring people. Ever since I got a degree, they were experts at fishing the worst things out of my life that somehow disqualified me from employment. Whether it was a bad grade I got somewhere that is somehow completely my fault, or the way I am supposed to ask and beg for a job as an unemployed person.

If I knew how to make my own job I wouldn't be starving and homeless.
