Disclaimer: I work for Google, but not for OnHub and know nothing about it that hasn't been made public.

TBH, this comment reads a lot like "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame." [1] I'm not sure why you would buy an OnHub if you wanted to put your own distro on it (that's clearly not the target audience), USB is only disabled for now (why have it there if there were no plans to use it?) and The Verge notes that the connectivity is very good, which is what I think the target audience very much does care about.

Have you considered either doing actual ethernet or failing that powerline ethernet?

A lot of these dead spots are caused by the physical materials or distance of the property, which often cannot be overcome WELL unless you used directional antennas, or exceeded the legal power of your WiFi equipment (which can sometimes cause overheating or signal issues).

Instead of trying to break through the dead spots with better and better WiFi, maybe you should just cut your losses, get wired internet onto the other side, and then set up an inexpensive AP there to complete the coverage picture. If your budget is $200, then you could easily do powerline ethernet and a cheap AP.

Just a thought...

Biologist here : This belief of increasing complexity is just a relic of the times when we thought humans were the pinnacle of evolution.

It is a basic misunderstanding of evolution. The single-celled organisms of today have evolved longer. Their DNA has been mutating, adapting for 10-times longer than ours (as a species) has been.

There is no reason to think that they would be any more simpler than us. They are just adapted to different environments than us.
Interesting read, showing a possible dark side to "blind reason". This line was most interesting to me:

"Communism and fascism both begin by exercising complete control over the memetic environment, in order to create a new man stripped of cultural immunity, who will do whatever they tell him to."

You often hear that communism "makes sense on paper", or that it is a "perfect philosophy" implemented imperfectly by humans. You can hear perfectly reasonable arguments why communism is the best way for people to live. It will provide for everyone, no one will want. Everyone will be on a level playing field in terms of access to resources and have freedom from suffering. Lenin and Trotsky ended up using these well-reasoned arguments to convert tsarists into bolsheviks and, by stripping their followers of their previous cultural immunity, utterly destroyed the existing power structure and replaced it with themselves at the top.

I think this connects to the author's mentioning of radical Islamists and how a great many of them have gone to western universities before becoming radicalized. I doubt for many of them, just reading the Koran after losing their cultural immunity will cause them to be radicalized. It's coming under the influence of charismatic but radical leaders that causes them to become radicalized, to serve their leaders' ambitions of power.

Also interesting are the author's proposed antidotes against following bad cultural memes to their logical conclusions: either watch out for deviating from those around you, or follow your feelings. Even with the power of reason, the author suggests you have to listen to your feelings to avoid stripping yourself of cognitive immunity to a dangerous idea.

The brain is a tricky instrument indeed.

"92% of startups fail. For most, it's not going to turn out pretty."

And if you're a founder you have those same odds, no? With more skin in the game, being a founder in those cases is probably even worse, too.

I think all I'm suggesting is in the risk-reward decision, it's more complex and subtle than just go be a founder if you're going to do the startup thing as that's the _only_ way it's worth it.

"Apparently your friends are incredibly good at choosing startups; they should be VCs."

Some of them are; however, some are relatively happy going from startup to startup (fairly early) getting things done. I'm sure some of those will hit well and others won't.

they don't offer "unlimited mobile hotspot". They explicitly say hotspot usage is limited.

What's unlimited is "non hotspot usage" (i.e. regular app usage). One might view this as splitting hairs (and I'm somewhat sympathetic to that view).
The key bit for me was the fact that students asked (after they'd seen the video) that they be given warnings about that kind of content. Which seems to imply that no warning was given. The rest of the paragraph seems to be the professor making the argument that giving such a warning would offend their principles in some way and that they have no intention of providing this courtesy in the future either.
The very first sentence of the article says that they in fact don't offer unlimited tethering, but that their "unlimited data" plan has explicit language limiting tethering to a few GB, while traffic coming from the actual mobile device is unlimited. That seems fair enough.

Have you seen OpenWRT, or Tomato? If so, what don't you like about those?
Well luckily I am good enough at math/programming that I get huge amounts of leeway at my job. Meaning I miss tons of meetings, am always late, miss emails, and all that stuff. Basically as long as I keep coding like I do, my boss could care less about everything else. If this career didnt exist I would be in huge trouble. But regardless, I took medication for a long time. It worked for a while, but 5 years in I saw it lose effectiveness. Upping the dosage with little restraints led to addiction/abuse. Never taking too much is absolutely crucial, once your neural path ways have been exposed to high doses, it is very difficult to restrain yourself to small ones. Are you aware of behavioral/personality changes with it? Or have you generally stayed the same? My biggest issue was taking a drug every day that altered my personality in noticeable ways. After years on end its easy to forget who you were before, which I think is absolutely terrible.

Its difficult to find information about it online (thanks drug companies), but if you do real research into medical journals, Moderate doses can lead to long term/structural changes in the brain. Abuse can be neurotoxic. Ritalin is considerably safer than adderall/dex. This makes it hard to separate out what was caused by the drug and what is a symptom of ADD, thus causing a bad feedback cycle.

I recently saw a therapist (for unrelated issues) who said it was a common pattern for bright individuals who were bored with regular schooling to be diagnosed as ADD.

Meditation, exercise, proper sleep, and healthy food all have a huge effect. Biggest thing is being interested in what I am working on at work. I drink huge amounts of caffeine and sugar (soda helps the most), which help a ton. I take frequent breaks, go for walks, and work obscure hours. I end up getting about 4 peoples work done myself, mainly because I can leverage my programming ability to find shortcuts in the work that other people cannot.
Controlled, repeatable studies designed to counter biases and generate meaningful findings. If you really loosen up the meaning of the word "anecdote" then sure, a series of certain conforming anecdotes do become data. But it doesn't follow that all collections of anecdotes are data.

Especially if your build involves Maven, FlywayDB is a very good choice if you want to use native SQL to manage your schema.

I was originally quite bullish on FlywayDB until I started looking into Liquibase by way of Dropwizard. I'm personally not quite convinced of the need for native SQL scripting for schema management, as I often like to work in H2 for dev and something else for production.

However, if you primarily want to use JDBC + native SQL to manage your schema, Flyway is quite powerful and easy to fold into your build process.
They don't advertise unlimited hot spot. They advertise unlimited data for your mobile device and 6gb of hot spot data. Some users are cheating and masking their hot spot data used by multiple PCs and sometimes servers to get around the 6gb limit without having to pay for the additional hot spot data.

Apple and touchscreens is a bit of an outlier here. History remembers the following guys, but few know who made billions putting it into stuff:

1. Jack Kirby and IC

2. Bardeen, Shockley,and Brattain and semiconductors

3. Akasaki, Amano, and Nakamura and blue leds

4. Boyle and Smith for CCD arrays

5. Townes, Pokhorov, and Basov for lasers

6. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins for structure of DNA

It's besides the point that some of them weren't necessarily in academia.

You can find their names, their speeches, their books and papers in any library or in many places online. Whilst, who remembers CEOs of Intel (notable exceptions apart), or of the 10s of other important semiconductor IC companies, or of companies that made commercial 'laser' disc and cd drives, or biotech companies, etc.?

Thanks for the clarification.

As a TMO subscriber I've never had a problem with TMO's "unlimited data". What's the problem with throttling down once you've hit your cap? You still get data, just at 3G/4G speed and not LTE. IMO if you're pulling that much data from the tower then yeah, you should probably pay up because you're screwing it up for everyone else.

This seems like a totally easy problem for TMO to fix, but I wonder why they haven't done it until now.

How expensive would an application like this be? I don't know much about this, but I'd like to learn.

What's an algorithm for figuring out a pretty good guess of any random application's hosting costs? Also, is there a way to figure out how large the expenses could become over time? Is there some way to relate number of users to cost?

There's no upper bound for how much money one could spend, but let's use the midpoint between "extremely frugal" and "money isn't really a concern."
> forcing the carrier to make good on their promise of "unlimited data"

I'm on the fence about what I think about the announcement itself (because of the implications around enforcement), but this is a pretty untenable argument if you want to get into "promises", or, who's really breaking their contract.

Contractually, the promise is unlimited data without tethering. Explicitly. If we want to talk about who's breaking what promises by rooting phones to bypass tethering data limits, it's actually the "omg hackers".
But in the other direction, it seems that end-to-end implementation correctness implies absence of run-time errors. The seL4 authors write[1]:

> IMPLICATIONS [...]
a functional correctness proof already has interesting implications for security. If the assumptions listed in Sect. 5.5 are true, then in seL4 there will be:
No code injection attacks [...] No buffer overflows [...] No NULL pointer access [...] No ill-typed pointer access [...] No memory leaks [...] No non-termination [...] No arithmetic or other exceptions [...] No un-checked user arguments [...] Aligned objects [...] Wellformed data structures [...]

And this was already done in 2009. So I don't think Muen is the first microkernel to prove absence of run-time errors. (Maybe they claim that Muen is the first open source run-time-error-free microkernel in the sense that they did the verification after seL4, but before seL4 was open-sourced?)

All you can do is keep sending complaints and encourage others to keep sending complaints. They do, apparently, occasionally take notice of complaints.
If you prevent that "this data is from tethering" bit from being set and do nothing else, T-Mobile will block your traffic. They've been slowly ramping up detection of tether hiding for a while now. They at least do UA detection (for HTTP connections) and TTL monitoring. I'm not sure how they plan to deal with the endgame of "everything tunneled through a VPN".

No, that's irrational.

Stock opens at X, you buy at 0.5X, you sell at 0.9X, it goes back to X. Then the exchange breaks the 0.5x trade. Now you still have to deliver the order you sold at 0.9x, but you're buying it at X, so you've earned a neat loss.

The rational thing to do is to get a cup of coffee. Unless you enjoy losing tons of money, in which case your idea is great as well.

Wow, this is pretty awesome. It feels weird to be an iOS user with options.
Technically speaking, it's all data coming from the mobile device. Hotspotting occurs on my device without their involvement since it's a feature of the hardware, not the cellular network.

In effect, T-Mobile sells you a device and then rents out the capability of your own device.

One right way to do it is to put a hard cap on data usage but then they couldn't use the term "unlimited" and T-Mobile would lose customers.

The other right way to do is soft-cap all data coming from the device, which would allow "unlimited".

Check out my post. I was definitely able to cover costs.
This is incorrect. When you are a 'normal' XGB of high speed data plan your mobile device usage and tethered usage come out of the same bucket, you get 1-5GB (depending on plan) of high-speed data usage, after you hit your limit you are unable to use the Mobile Hotspot feature of your smartphone until your billing cycle rolls over.

Unlimited smartphone users are in a different situation, they have "unlimited" un-throttled mobile data usage, and 7GB of Mobile Hotspot usage.

To accurately measure Mobile Hotspot data usage, your phone connects to a separate data access point when Mobile Hotspot is turned on - but there are people who are using third-party tethering applications that simply use the 'standard' access point, allowing users on "unlimited" plans to skirt around the 7GB Mobile Hotspot limit.

T-Mobile EXPLICITLY advertises the "unlimited" plan only applies to usage ON YOUR PHONE, not on any tethered devices. They have every right to curb people using their service in this fashion.
The problem is selling "unlimited" anything. Every data provider's marketing department insist they have to offer "unlimited" data because all their competitors do it. Unfortunately it's not actually possible for any of them.

How about the FTC do their fucking job and actually enforce these unlimited plans? Then all the carriers will stop with the shell game and sell bandwidth the only way it's feasible - metered.

Can you imagine if your power company was offering "unlimited" electricity?

You actually don't have to do any masking, it just works. It's not like your phone tells T-Mobile's servers when you start tethering, or they can detect tethering through DPI. It all looks the same to them. So when they accuse customers of "cheating" because they neglected to obey a hidden clause in a contract they didn't read, it comes across as insulting.
