I understand the advantages of dressing casually, but when I watch a video from the mid 20th century the first thing that strikes me (in a positive way) is that ordinary people took pride in their personal appearance. Nowadays it feels like people just don't care about their looks.
> Is "operating at their highest capacity" a bad thing?

Yes, it's a bad thing. Internet traffic is bursty so usually you have to overprovision a lot to deal with the spikes. Operating at full capacity means that they get money for a service that they cannot fullfil. This is their intended goal such that later they can ask money from whoever wants to have priority.

> Who are the providers that misbehave

The article is about T-Systems (AS-DTAG), which is the largest ISP in Germany and basically the company we mean when we talk about net neutrality violation here.

Look at the speeds of their exchange points: https://beta.peeringdb.com/net/196 - 34 Gbps total: 1x 20G, 1x 10G, 4x 1G. Seriously, 1Gbps!

Now compare with another ISP with only 25% the revenue: https://beta.peeringdb.com/net/997 - 890 GBps total.

For almost anything not mobile, that would definitely be an improvement. They mentioned houses with solar storing excess energy, and there's numerous other possible uses including industrial. Potentially also slow moving autonomous machines including lawnmovers could benefit, as replacement is cheaper.

Also for anything with charge cycles fast enough that cost outweighs other factors.
See this sounds way too much. What kind of coffee? can you calculate amount of caffeine/day?
Lets define and understand the problem before we try to find a solution. The problem is that the climate is changing. The "why" is the big question. Gregg Braden has showed that our planet has a varying temperature for millions of years and we should try to understand what is behind this. One thing is clear and that it is not a higher level of CO2 or less Ozon. It is a smart thing to ask ourselves also the question "Which factors contribute to climate change?". The documentary COWSPIRACY shows that 54% of the CO2 production comes from the meat industry. So the biggest gains are not with "clean" energy but with "clean" meat. CO2 production increases significantly when the population and meat consumption increases so figure out what the priorities for "clean" meat and "clean" energy should be.

>There seems to be a trend of adding "free peering" into the net neutrality debate. Unless you're carrying equal bit-miles, free shouldn't even enter into the equation. If data flows unequally, money should flow the other direction.

I think the difference here with CDN provided traffic is the bit miles are basically zero so I don't think that argument really holds up.

She claims that Americans dress more casually than anywhere else, and I don't doubt that the US has played a massive role in promoting more casual dress (also the cowboy esthetic, rock and roll, etc), but I'm not so sure the US is really more casual than every other country out there.

When I hear Americans talk about business casual, it's generally khakis and button down shirts, except when you're in Silicon Valley. But in Netherland, jeans, t-shirt and sneakers (or army boots, in my case) are totally normal in the office. This was the case when I worked in small software companies, but currently I work at a major bank, and it's no different (except sandals, flip-flops and shorts do seem to be a step too far). The business side is a bit more formal, but the IT side is completely casual. Probably because everybody is looking at Silicon Valley.
the entire point is ISPs are acting in bad faith looking for a payday, the limitations are not technical, but purely artifical rent seeking bullshit.

They are not interested in solutions that do not involve paying them money.

part of that appearance was being fit, you see very few obese in older pictures and the very obese were confined to carnival shows.

Working around some BMI 40+ and its not like there is much choice for professional looking clothing that looks good. Get to the 50+ and it just gets worse.

I just am amazed at how far back they traced the change in attitudes. Still I remember that day when IBM (contracting) announced its change in dress code and suddenly jeans were in. I think this was 95 or 96?
Sounds like your impression is that Americans underdress compared to France, and golergka's impression is that Americans overdress compared to some other culture.
YouTube CrashCourse
This type of arrangement does actually exist already. The BBC in the UK, and the ABC in Australia are both openly critical of governments - I know that the political right in Australia finds the ABC overly biased to the left, and the political left finds it overly biased to the right (although the right seems to be a bit more serious about this - they routinely try to hamstring the ABC when in power, whereas the left tends to increase funding).

Anyway, the point is that publicly funded broadcasters can and do criticise their governments.

sadly it seems nobody is able to do research anymore, or even read old research. Most of it has to relearned at every new generation of CEOs coming in offices, at about 20-30 years cycles.

you can find a lot of it in the 40s, 60s, 80s, etc. now we're just about at the end of yet another 'resource extraction' cycle, where managers (who just got bonuses pushing people into unsustainable working hours) are looking for reasons why productivity dropped across the board and how to bring it back up

look at the references at the bottom of this study (which mostly colorize graphs and reword sentences, but still)

I've had my eye on Lagos for about 12 years but never been adventurous enough to take the investment plunge. My logic for it is more based in how I, as a mostly anti-capitalist* thinks capital works.

The trick for me is whether, like China, Nigeria will grow its own industry, or like say, Bangladesh, where the long-term prospects continue to be mostly external exploitation.

This depends on so many things, such as how property and capital are treated culturally, whether there's a strong entrepreneurial or self-directed narrative.

Then there's the possibility that the investments themselves may not be honored. There's been a history of countries electing leaders that kick out foreign investors and seize the land, factories, and industries.

This is especially an issue, because I'd expect return in a Lagos investment, if it were to come, to be big but on a 5-15 year scale, not 12-18 month. I think I've got only 1 holding at most, in my portfolio that I've had for 15 years. Committing to Lagos for that time period just sounds like a trip to Vegas. In the world of investment, I'm on the 80% 2nd wave on this for sure.

I really want Lagos to succeed, but I have too much internal FUD about it to put my money where my mouth is.

* "Anti-capitalism" here is meant to mean that I am skeptical and overly-pessimistic of the systemic process of capitalism and view it as an unstable, irresponsible, and unfair system. I think most of the promises are a particular kind of fiction and invest according to my perception of the reality. My portfolio return is within a std dev of the s&p ... so no magic here.

What is the practical difference between 500mA and 30mA? Both are way too high for battery power, and both are low power in terms of cooling and electricity cost?

A sensor node with a 5Ah battery would have a budget of .5mAh to have the battery last s year. That is still two orders of magnitude under the Pi. Power is interesting for cooling and economics until you get below a few watts, at which point the power costs nearly nothing and the cooling is done without heat sink in air without fans.

Well, the US is the "exception" if you count solely the number of countries. It actually has a slightly larger English-speaking population than all other majority-native-English-speaking countries combined, so it makes sense that the US's interpretation of the language would be rather weighty internationally. :)

Sort of like how Brazil is the "exception" in South America because most countries on the continent speak Spanish... but when you look at the population numbers, there are actually more Portuguese than Spanish speakers in South America!
That is an interesting perspective. For myself, I have always been reasonably happy with the BBC, the CBC, and the ABC (British broadcasting corporation, Canadian . . ., Australian . . .) all of which are funded by their respective governments. Before people start to quibble, none of those outlets are perfect. I feel CBC vacillates between being too government friendly and too critical, for example, but overall, they are all pretty good.

I'd wager most bilinguals are so not because they thought it would be a cool self-improvement project. I speak English because all the good movies are made in the US, and German because I live in Germany, and Swedish because that is what my mother and father spoke to me.
Agreed, this is much like the situation in the 80s, and generally a good thing.

The only question I would have is what happened to export controls of capital? Is all this money legit? Cash is king I guess.
> The web is good for "web pages"

That is, after all, what it was designed for. Making web pages interactive in any way beyond a <form> has always been a hack.

> give web apps some way to access the filesystem

> And when will web apps (not "web pages") get TCP or UDP?

First, if it's in a browser, there isn't much of a distinction between "web apps" and "web pages". The browser, by definition, exists as a sandbox that renders unsafe data and code. Allowing any kind of access to the filesystem or TCP or UDP will hopefully never happen.

All networked software needs to implementing security concerns as the first and highest priority, If you aren't, you're putting the people that use your software at risk.

The browser must always[1] be limited in what it an do. If you want to do more (which is fine), write a standalone application. If your favorite platform doesn't let you write such applications, complain to the vendor or change to something that isn't hostile to software development.

> the module ecosystem and core power of Node.

That ecosystem is tiny compared to what is available in /usr/lib64/. I like Javascript, but there is a lot more to computing outside that single ecosystem.

[1] Unfortunately current browsers are already over the line with what they allow pages to access.
FED is privately owned and the government lends money from it, not funding it.
I agree with most of what you said, and try to follow a similar approach as well. Especially pre-empting support issues by fixing the product. That said, I'm not convinced about documentation - a large percentage of enquiries and support calls we get could have been resolved by checking the documentation, or even just reading the landing page of the website. I'm still not sure how to efficiently resolve these.
Of course, people do both. Perhaps the question should have been how many took pride, and how many just felt pressured.

Earlier this year I did the Stanford Introduction to Mathematical Thinking course on Coursera [1]. I found it fairly challenging but managed to finish with a distinction. The instructor was particularly good.

I'm now working through UCSD Interaction Design specialisation [2], which is a series of courses followed by a project. So far its been very good, although the short course format (3-4 weeks) means that there isn't time for much of a community to form among the participants. I've learned a lot though.

I'd recommend both courses.

I too have had enough of the silly new UI. Just the fact that you give us no choice to revert back or even give us another option, that tells me you are not caring about your customers. I have to spend too much time trying to figure out what to do with the piece of crap you call a User Interface, not to mention too much time on chat when I can't figure it out.

I am running a business here, I'm not some teenager with a couple of vanity domains. I have over 70 domains I manage not to mention clients I need to please, too bad you don't think the same way.

Since you have given me no choice, I have had to look for alternatives. I will not support Godaddy however I did find another registrar, Namesilo, that has a no nonsense interface that is simple to use and doesn't require scrolling forever to find anything. Namesilo has a much better interface and happens to have better prices, free whois guard and, so far, awesome support.

So, I have begun moving my 70+ domains away from Namecheap.
Even if they finally decide to fix their bad UI, I will not return, nor will I suggest your company to any of my clients or colleagues.
But what happens when your IDE is discontinued with no easy way to migrate projects? That has bit me several times over the last twenty years -- so I only rely on established proprietary tools like Emacs these days.
Maybe this is a telling indication on myself, but the pictures in your first link look significantly stranger and off than the picture in the onion article, text aside.

Formal wear has basically evolved into a costume that is used for specific events (weddings, funerals, and the like). It's hard to imagine someone dressing like that every day, with the complicated layers of nonfunctional and expensive items. Maybe that was the point.

Casual wear has largely evolved into clothing easier to mass produce and fit close-enough off a shelf. Paired with a general decrease in cost and clothing is less of an investment than it once was.

I see your point - but it's their content (or content they are being paid to serve at least). Cogent carries data between ISPs regardless of origin/destination for many of their runs -- while they are being paid by their clients for access to their network, Comcast can also push a significant amount of data destined for non Cogent customers through their lines. If you're only offering routes for your customers, you're not offering the ISP anything that you don't benefit from.

I would think rules enforcing net neutrality would explicitly not allow this. If I am a small time host with 20 clients, a host with 5000 clients shouldn't get a direct connection for free while I would need to pay. Both my clients and their clients are equally affected.
You're supposed to pay your ISP. The services you use are supposed to pay their ISP:s. The ISP:s that interconnect are supposed to agree on payment for created load via peering agreements in between them.

Your ISP is not supposed to both ask you, the other ISP and also the client of the other ISP, your subscription service, for money, independent of actual load.
> Or in other words if your range for random numbers is similar to the opponents range.

There's no such animal as "the opponent's range" here. The problem doesn't specify that the opponent chooses their numbers from a range, or anything else - all that's given is that there are two numbers and we know nothing about them. And if that's the case then it follows that any random number we choose might be between them, in which case our strategy beats chance. Note that nobody's claiming our choice is likely to be between the opponent's choices, just that the possibility hasn't ruled out. None of this makes any assumptions about their numbers.

If you're hung up on the possibility that the opponent chooses numbers so as to counter this strategy, the author points out elsewhere that if you pick a number from an unbounded range (like a normal distribution) then you'll have a nonzero (though vanishingly small) chance of falling between any two numbers the opponent chooses.

I think most programmers can learn a new programming language to reasonable "fluency" in a few weeks, for natural languages it's more like a few years. Totally different except when you think of formal terms like vocabulary, syntax etc. which can be found in both and may have led to the term "programming language".
Yet you can expect Cable service (Kabeldeutschland/Vodafone) to be to be lossy/congested at every days peek hours.

Also you can get Servers from Strato (DTAG Sub) for about the same price as from Hetzner and pump your Traffic directly into a Tier1.

Programming Languages is one of those courses that just keeps on giving.

A great basis for functional and Lisp fundamentals. I'm just starting a journey into Erlang and that course has meant that the switch isn't as difficult as it could have been.
