Nice article. But:

For women, it's a fantasy about male cruelty and control.

Seems misogynist and like some uninformed male opinion not based on actual research or talking to women. Other than that one line, yeah, it sounds good. Actually locking women in an iron chastity belt would have horrifying health consequences. That doesn't mean people wouldn't do it anyway. Historically, women sometimes had ribs removed to accommodate the fashion of wearing a corset. But I haven't seen medical references to the serious medical problems this would cause. So I can readily believe this was a joke, not a reality.
I've had mine for a similar time frame and I've never needed to restart it, except to install updates. My cable modem goes out more often.
This must be referring to the 1981 declaration of martial law by Polish General Jaruzelski, following pressure from the Solidarity trade union and others. Due to Cold War politics, you can see the US might want to address this by allowing Poles stay in the US.
Nope. It's 32 and 64, but it's a signed type (which is why it isn't equivalent to size_t). The range of possible values is still of size 2^32 or 2^64, it's just centred at 0.

[EDITED to add: Having said which, the above isn't really any wronger than the OP which is full of mistakes.]
Uh, no. Just because you think this should be the law doesn't mean it is the law.

Instead the law in the United States is that you aren't allowed to jam anyone, aren't allowed to interfere with the operation of other computers on the internet, and whether the computers are on your real estate or not has nothing at all to do with it.
I believe there are a number of addons that will do that for you.
> Are you saying that your ISP doesn't allow you to plug standard ethernet devices into their lines?

Using your own router rather than the ISPs preconfigured router requires more than just plugging a personally-purchased router into their line (even in the simple case where you aren't using the ISPs bundled cable/phone/internet service that's all delivered through a common system.)

At least in the simple case, someone with modest technical skill can figure out how to get that information relatively easily, but most ISP customers aren't even modestly technical.
But couldn't you just get along with unsigned types for both (i.e. just size_t)? I mean, two's complement means adding or subtracting is the same for unsigned and signed ints? Is it just for the convenience of being able to compare along the lines of (somePtrDiff < 0)? But then again you could just as well compare (somePtr > someOtherPtr)?

Another funny thing I just discovered: You can't declare an array like "char somearray[SIZE_MAX]"; clang gives "error: array is too large (18446744073709551615 elements)". But you can use SIZE_MAX as an array index (although it gives a warning "array index -1 is past the end of the array"). Also, trying to declare an array like "char somearray[SIZE_MAX/8]" inside a simple main() just sends clang into 100% cpu...

It's not even a battle worth fighting; your average consumer router is significantly less powerful than what the cable company gives you. Even if you do get it in bridge mode, you'd need something more than a $200 consumer router to get the max speed out of it.
That makes it a risky venture, to an insanely small degree.

Interesting that it has a TPM[1]. Any guesses about the uses/implications of that?

I wonder if it can be configured to act solely as an access point--I already have a ubnt EdgeRouter Lite, but wouldn't mind replacing my aging access point.

EDIT: It does support bridge mode[2].

Cambodia to USA (southern california)

Parent flee the Vietnam fall out, grandfather from my father side died from friendly fire (USA), we supposely got a free ticket to USA if we can flee.

Parent ran from Vietnam, jump around, during Cambodia I was born, they went many places, thai/kham/lao and then Phillipines where my parent and I immigrated to the USA.

edit:

I posted on HN somewhere their stories fleeing. There were a few encounters where they could have died but got lucky. It's pretty neat and crazy. In general, America is a great country I'm glad, they worked hard and got my sister and I to college.

"look at all of the fancy marketing they've done"

They are trying to be Apple even the design seems close to what Apple might do at least to my eye. The thing is Apple does this and gets business because there was a core of important and vital products and software that got people using Apple for a different reason. So if I buy (as I have) Apple's Airport extreme it's because I am buying other Apple products. I can't say if that weren't the case that would be what I would go with. (I mean I might but since I am already buying the brand I am biased and just go for the IBM choice so to speak...).

My point is that a company can't simply take a product here and a product there and hope to have great success with just a great isolated device for a particular purpose.

Which means that since google is not stupid they must be doing this for another reason (as others have mentioned). They aren't doing it because they honestly expect and need to sell routers and make money from that or even another play that they are building on that we don't know about. Must be something else going on here.

Lastly, end users in flyover country don't care about all of this unless they know about or have a particular problem. And how many people even have these problems? (I don't as only one example..) If they did they would be protesting outside of cable companies and demanding better remote controls for their fios or comcast dvr's.

Since when? When I got my new router, I plugged it in and was online. I did some configuration (and flashing) afterwards, but it certainly worked when I plugged it in. Isn't that the point of consumer products?
Yes, this limits the utility of ptrdiff_t. But I don't believe you're allowed to subtract arbitrary pointers in C anyway. So you might need a >63-bit char array in order to legally hit this limit, and you probably don't have 263 of RAM.

Practically, amd64 is already limited to more like 48 bits (4 levels of 9 bit pagetables describing 12 bit pages) of memory.
I can't get back my "ad view".

Irrelevant.

That's not the payment transaction. You are not paying for content with ad views. You're paying when you buy products and services which advertise online.

Why would you care?

Because unlimited recourse to view, then withdraw payment, torpedoes the system.

You've also got the matter that under a syndication system, all views are retail views, regardless of source. Where advertising promotes piracy schemes benefitting publishers at the expense of authors, a Syndication scheme would fairly benefit both.

A "net traffic" based system would eliminate this concern: it simply doesn't matter where your work is served from, so long1as it's served. And no, it's not necessary to measure via privacy-invading mechanisms:

1. Zipf power functions mean that a small number of major sites are the bulk of traffic. You monitor these.

2. You're concerned with served traffic volumes. Other than eliminating suspect traffic, it doesn't matter who is accessing content, only how many. Yes, you've got a views-inflation issue to deal with, there are methods for mitigating that.

3. Sampled traffic estimates are used to model total traffic. That's apportioned across total funds for apportionment.

There's probably going to be some level of bundling, and it may be that specific creators market through specific syndicates, rather than directly. But in general, you're going to end up with payment based on actual access and funded through an indirect, general, tax or fee.

Google and Amazon serve only specific markets. There are large parts of the world with some Internet access but limited payment or finance systems. Credit card fraud is a thing, $11.3 billion worldwide in 2012, up 15% from prior year, and breaches of credit and payment data details are running to the hundreds of millions if not billions[1]. Individually transactionalised online payments are a considerable risk. Ecommerce for all its touted benefits remains a modest fraction of total retail, favoured strongly in B2B space, that is, established relationships and regular transactions.

Also noted that you've failed to address access issues for the poor, children, researchers, and creatives themselves, all of which a general fee would cover.

> First of all, documents only offer 2 checkboxes (Boy/Girl) because this is the sex of the kid they want you to fill out and as far as I know there are only 2 sexes.

There are more than two sexes. Even if you stick to chromosonal definitions of sex there are more than XX or XY.

You claim that they want to know the sex, but then say that other forms ask for gender but that those forms are wrong.

The forms are asking about gender because that's the important part for most of these forms.

> Kids don't have to define their gender identity, they're just kids. Can we just let them be without asking them to place themselves on a gender spectrum or whatever the F?

You make the mistake of thinking that children have no clue about gender identity. From the little bits of reseach we do we know that many children have firm ideas of what they consider themselves to be. Why can't we respect that, and allow them to live their lives free of oppression?

Twitter Is Like Elizabeth Bennet’s Meryton
This is my favorite question!

My answer is always something that ties together my entire career. That changes over time (obviously), but my current answer is something like this:

"I like telling stories. I'm an engineer, for sure: my degree is actually in physics, and I worked my way out of that, eventually ending up as the first engineer in a Providence startup. When we were acquired, though, I found that I was really good at explaining not only what we did, but _why_ we did what we did. I moved into sales, closed our first 100 customers, and ended up running the marketing team. When you're small, storytelling is explaining to one person why your product is important. Marketing is just scaling that. No matter what, I want to understand at a technical level what's happening, then help close that gap to make it interesting to people, whether that's in code, sales, or marketing."

It might be apparent that I'm not a straight-up engineer anymore, but I do think it's hugely valuable to point out why you've taken a different path from others, or what drives you. Making it a single truth that guides everything you do (knowing that that's wildly untrue) makes it easy for the interviewer to ask you more in that frame.

The biggest positive about a company like google releasing a router is the security updates. Most consumer routers out there are left to rot and you're forced to buy a one when its exploited.

Just because some people consent to you interfering with WiFi signals, doesn't mean you are allowed to do it. You'd need to completely wrap your transmitters in a Faraday cage and hold the entire convention inside it, only allowing people who have signed your bizarre and draconian contract, that allows you to interrupt their WiFi signals, in to the venue.
Just POSIX :).
> What, time didn't exist before today's decision?

Time did, and part of time is that responses don't occur before the thing they respond to.

> It was a response - just to an earlier round of the same debate

Its not even that; its a response in a parallel but tangentially related proceeding that started after the complaint on which the current Consent Decree was filed, addressed a different issue, and was never resolved because the party that filed it (Marriott) later withdrew it.

And Smart City's response in that proceeding essentially argues that the FCC can and should prohibit the conduct which Smart City admitted to in the consent decree, though it argues that the prohibition should be based on a different legal foundation than the one cited in the Marriott and now Smart City consent decrees.

(It also argues that the FCC should not prohibit a different, more targeted practice of de-authing that is actually based on more specific objective indicia of a threat to an existing network, which no FCC enforcement action as yet has targeted.)
This is definitely like the Nest in that it's an "entry" into the home, clearly it has ambitions to be more than just a router.

On the surface, a $200 router doesn't even make sense. 99% of the time congestion is probably not at the router/Wi-Fi level (any 5GHz wifi router should do) but somewhere upstream (ISP or WAN latency.) If you have a very large property there are plenty of routers already on the market with good external antennas. Number of people who think "man the wifi in my house sucks" is very small.

Clearly they're selling this as a boutique product (similar to Nest) with the hopes of expanding it to perform other tasks, probably similar to Amazon Echo. Heck it even looks like the Echo.

"Also, they make an argument about density and interference that IMO shouldn't be dismissed out of hand"

Absolutely it should. It might make for a shitty experience, but the whole (un) license of the Wifi spectrum is "it's a free-for-all, suck it up". However many users are there, microwaves, you name it. "May not produce interference to other users, must accept any and all interference".

What I meant to say is that the text for size_t and ptrdiff_t are identical, implying that the underlying types are identical. That is there is logical fallacy.

They author states "The type’s size is chosen so that it could store the maximum size of a theoretically possible array of any type" and the same is said for ptrdiff_t, which is quit confusing.

Now I realise that in reality they both use 64 bits, it is somewhat strange to use the same text for both.
>The whole point of the tech is: If you own a network called "CorpWiFi," someone can come along, set up their own AP, and call their WiFi "CorpWiFi" to try and trick clients into connecting to it with the goal of stealing information.

Then contact law enforcement. Building out some vigilante feature into AP's is completely asinine. This is like me seeing someone speed on the expressway and trying to pull them over myself. Of course, we'll abuse that power if given to us!

The FCC needs to up its game. Either allow us to do whatever the hell we want or stop the bad guys. You either have police or you don't. This middle ground of outsourcing enforcement to Cisco and Aruba and other deep pocketed enterprise players was, predictably, abused by terrible corporate citizens and puts home users as a disadvantage as their equipment doesn't have these features.

Or heaven forbid the FCC get off the big donors/money train and strongarm some spectrum so we have more for wifi in the ISM band. How much spectrum is wasted right now on analog radio or other dinosaur services that can be downsampled into bandwidth efficient digital transmissions? Its incredible we have so few bands for our most used infrastructure. Hell, give us channel 14 at least. Figure out a safe way to do this here. We're dying for spectrum yet deep pocketed players buy all they need (mobile networks, clear channel, etc). That's the core problem hereand until we get more wifi spectrum, these shenanigans will continue in one form or another. Smart City isn't knocking you offline because you're some kind of wifi pirate, they're doing it because they want to hog the limited spectrum for their convention customers.

If pirating ssid's were a real problem, we'd all be proposing an ssl-cert like system to verify identities or at least some kind of web of trust to avoid rogue AP's. But its not, its a complete red herring. The real issue is the stingy amount of spectrum allocated to us.
At two years old most children will have a stronger bond with the mother than the father because generally the bulk of care, including breastfeeding, has been administered by the mother up until this point in their life. There are likely genetic/chemical/evolutionary forces at play here too.

Even at three years old, my daughter would unquestionably choose to spend three months with my wife rather than me (I'm not hurt or offended by this!).

edit:

"but the kid probably won't notice that much"

The kid will definitely notice :)

Being separated from a kid for three months would also be much harder emotionally on my wife than it would for me.
