The answer to some of those questions are complex. I was trying to keep the length of this post to a minimum, so I decided to keep that information out, but I'll try to provide some of the details you asked about.

The cost of equipment depends on the installation. If we use Ubiquiti sectors and CPE's, the sectors run about $500/each and each CPE is around $130. I don't think we have a sector with more than 6 clients on it and I don't think I'd be willing to put more than 10 on one, depending on the channel and signal, each antenna has around 250 Mbps of capacity. So if we have 6 clients on a sector, that's about $213/subscriber.

Most of our business customers are on PtP radios. I use Mimosa B5-lite's for those, which are $300/set.

Some of our customers are in properties in which we already have equipment, so the cost there depends on how many customers are in the same building. I'll typically run the CPE to a switch and then branch out to customers from there. Let's say that the property has 3 subscribers and I used a Mimosa B5-lite to the property. Add $300 for a switch and we're at around $200/subscriber.

I'd probably say that a client, on average, costs around $250 to get setup.

Every antenna and switch in our PoP is connected to a UPS system; I have one large 3U UPS and a few stand-alone desktop UPS's. They probably total around $2,500. We use a small fraction of our available bandwidth; that's not a concern. What is a concern is the spectrum available per antenna, which is why I said I would not put more than 10 clients on an antenna.

I'll write another post about the cost of fiber.

The DMCA (specifically safe harbor) has been a god send to businesses like Google, Facebook, many of Microsofts ventures etc..

Yes, that's why I said "technological limitations".
That's fine.. It just hurts NYT's article to lump Fowler and Pao together (BTW Pao case had nothing to do with sexual harrassment). IMO it would be a much stronger article if it just focused on Fowler.
First of all, there's a big difference between merely losing a civil case and having been proved to have lied. It just means the jury did not find sufficient evidence of wrongdoing. There are a lot of possible reasons for that. If you want to make the case that she was actually lying, you need to point out specific evidence for that.

The fact that the firm not only didn't counter-sue, but also offered to settle with her in exchange for dropping her appeal, tells me that the evidence that she lied is not very strong. Everyone agrees that they took a reputation hit over this. If they had clear evidence that she committed perjury, wouldn't they be eager to clear their name exhaustively?

But second of all, I don't see nearly the kind of buy-in in Pao's case as in Fowlers. Pao sued. Fowler wrote an extensive indictment of Uber's company culture. IANAL, but it seems from what I've seen that it's hard to sue someone for defamation over a lawsuit. A scathing blog post is another story. In addition, there's inherent ambiguity in merely losing a lawsuit. Fowler's move is far more dangerous to her reputation.
By way of answering, let me recount a short story for you.

It takes place during the very first time I visited Kampala (the capital of Uganda). It was about 3 years before I had started working in the ISP/telecom space in Africa. This particular trip was soccer-specific (I was working on the team that delivered one of the big trans-national African tournaments' games on television), thus the non-ISP nature of it.

We arrive at our hotel, having driven just under an hour from Entebbe to Kampala. It's fairly pleasant, albeit a tad humid (it's mid-day and near the equator after all; 36C and >=70% humidity - not the worst). There's a group of around 30 of us that now need to check in... this always takes a little while.

So, everything goes on. You loaf around the hotel reception until it's your point in the queue, grab some water now and then when you can. Finally, you're standing at the front desk, starting your process of checkin.

You read off your name... the person behind the counter finds you in the list (of fortunately mostly checked-off people - yay alphabet precedence!), and starts doing some stuff on the front desk computer. At which point you glance over to said desktop and notice the UPS jacked into the UPS jacked into the UPS (yes, three) jacked into the computer. You idly inquire about this. The response is "oh, yeah, the other ones died with all the power outages".

Not a joke, as it turns out. While you're doing your checking, the building experiences a brownout twice.

Years later, you get there for a totally different reason. Time (literal years) has passed. And during setup of some equipment (here, I'm skipping about two days' worth of time), you find that the reason your laptop screen kept dimming and your DC UPS' kept beeping.... is because you're getting such major voltage swings on the building feed that everything is going over-or-under-voltage.

This is daily life (in many parts of Africa). It isn't a thing to fight against. It just is. You take it, and try to do your utter best. You try to deliver your utter best.

And if you just push hard enough (and, imo, if you're really, really lucky) you maybe get somewhere with it!

This could be positive for 'ethical' pirates. i.e. non-scam sites. Usually the more dubious torrent sites or similar seem to rank quite highly. Reverting to word of mouth could increase the likelihood of trustworthy sites maintaining their prominence.

Everything above is written with the full knowledge that there is some irony in talking about ethics and trustworthiness in relation to copyright infringement. Nonetheless - I think the terms still carry some validity in context.

Um.. immune therapies, targeted genetic therapies, TIL therapies... all kind of a big deal.

Sorry, you don't know what you're talking about.

And rates say nothing about efficacy / quality of treatment. (And even when new treatments are not more effective, often the side effects are much milder (to non-existent): getting an extra three years sick and in pain, vs getting them as your normal self is a huge difference)

Edit: what I mean by that is that rates of incidence say nothing about how effective the treatments are. It can both be true that rates are going up (say, due to air pollution) and that treatments are more effective.

Reply to comment below: again, you are wrong. Jesus, stop. One example: Ipilimumab and PD-1 inhibitors have a ~20% effectiveness rate against melanoma, a cancer that was considered a sure death sentence just 15 years ago. Some patients have not had any recurrence in a decade, they seem cured, which was unheard of before.

And targeted drugs like dabrafenib buy most patients an extra 6-18 months, almost side effect free. With more of these coming out, it seems like soon it'll be possible to cycle patients even longer (some combos already are known to extend their effect).

This doesn't qualify as "major"? The ability to reprogram our immune system to kill cancer cells, or to reprogram pathways in faulty cells?
Yes. They are taught pre-solo. I've been flying almost 20 years, so I can't swear exactly whether they were on the FAA knowledge ("written") test or not, but these are taught very early on as part of ground school.

Many kneeboards and emergency procedure checklists have them handy as well.

Realistically, if you can remember to tune to 121.5 MHz (the universal VHF emergency frequency), that's going to be good enough for all but lost comms. For a lost comms scenario (including electrical failure), the intercept procedures are unlikely to come into play; you'll instead proceed to an airport and land.
I remember an Econmist article about Obama before he took the reins that said that, whilst his outlook was different and his tactics might sometimes differ, the fact remained that he would continue to serve American interests and that would disappoint a lot of external observers.

However far apart they were (and they were pretty far apart), Bush and Obama mostly agreed about what the challenges facing the nation were. There's plenty of evidence that Trump doesn't share that common ground.

Regarding Heap Analytics, their pricing model is quite confusing. I'd like to know how many users/visitors to your website are you getting that allows it to be free.

To you, is the almost $5k you're spending on Intercom worth it? How much does it come to per user?

I get what you're saying. Though I'm not sure baseball is the best example here as baseball is kind of broken right now. Look at the strikes, bargaining issues and communist cartel of baseball team owners needing to cooperate to keep it together, just barely.

Other industries have similar development programs like pro baseball's farm and minor leagues. But all these are getting difficult to maintain. Pro baseball teams supporting minor leagues isn't what it used to be and they have become harder to afford. Still I agree there are many lessons to take from what baseball does well and not so well.

I do agree a lesson from baseball is that the best in journalism should be highly paid for their work. Journalism needs to continue to attract and retain talented professionals who are compensated competitively. This is harder than it might sound though. Professional baseball players don't really have their salaries paid for by wealthy folks; rather players make a lot of money because of MLB television and media rights in the billions of dollars. Players play 162 games on television every season so TV commercials and expensive TV cable packages is what pays for baseball.

One big advantage if the endowment model can be pulled off and funded as a source for journalists income is it could in theory help minimize the corruption and pandering to advertisers at the higher levels of journalism too.

We forget that television had a "pre-history" of sorts, that TV had been the object of many tinkering since the early days of the 20th Century. In particular, Leon Theremin [1], known for the musical instrument invention that bears his name [2] is credited with demonstrating a TV in 1925 whose resolution was not surpassed until the GE demo at the World's Fair in 1939.

We just had "Every discrete page must have an h1 tag with the page title". Even though that isn't appropriate for this site, and the head meta already has page titles and description. So now we implement customizable h1 tags on each page that are all then hidden using `display:none` (which I think is penalised by Google, not that it matters much). Multiple H1 tags as well, Seo guys did not like that, so we had to fork the off the shelf modules in the CMS to make them non-spec compliant. I love Seo consultants and their fantastic suggestions
Ha! Not at all. It was a big expense, but I think it’s worth it for how we use it. The domain is "in.vc" and it’s used when sending an invoice link to clients. Instead of sending a super long link and possibly confusing clients with our app name, they see a short, generic link.

I wish we had cushion.com, but last I checked, it sold for $120k in 2012, so that's off the table. :)
I'm sorry I should have said the last _major_ innovation that made any difference.

All the things you mention are innovations, they just haven't really changed average mortality numbers, which is what I care about.

Edit: the parent post changed their argument to being about 'efficacy' or quality of care. Personally, I prefer a cure to a high-quality and effective 3 months in hospital then death. Thus I focus on the mortality statistics.

Edit again: quote:

> This doesn't qualify as "major"? The ability to reprogram our immune system to kill cancer cells, or to reprogram pathways in faulty cells?

I'd define major as some large change to average mortality from cancer. The same way heart attacks are now vastly more survivable, or we don't get them in the first place. For example, in another comment, someone linked to the NIH's numbers

https://report.nih.gov/nihfactsheets/viewfactsheet.aspx?csid...

They show from 1975 to 2007 incidence of cancer going from 400 per 100k to 461 (e.g. up). I'd define a major improvement as that going to 200 or 100 per 100k people (e.g. down). The 5-year survivability has gone up for the same reason incidence went up, early detection.

Yes, there are specific therapies that improve things 20% here or there for certain very targeted groups. I hope I am in one of those groups if I ever get cancer, but again the averages haven't changed much at all, especially when compared to other chronic disease.

It would be a start if the person doing it was well-informed on our intelligence sector and diplomacy. Plus, was acting in the best interest of the general public. Trump isn't any of that. He's just driven personal ego and power. Really, bad things could happen if the likes of CIA think he's a real threat to them.

So far, he's just ignoring them or unaware the power players even exist. That lets them continue their schemes. His voters and campaign also preferred having a surveillance/police state so long as it's aimed at other voters with different color and religion. What little I've followed has just been mud slinging and toothless politics. Deep state is watching him closely but not affected yet.
That is powerful analysis tool right there. I tend to suspect that the policies would not be much different than they are. The top 20% of earners still pay 84% of the income taxes[1]. Lyndon Johnson felt the "military industrial complex" was a sort of deep state. However I would distinguish between the notion of a deep state which is making foreign policy vs corruption which is simply enriching a few special interests.

I think 八つ当たり might derive from the same idea as 八方 which means "every direction" even though it's literally "eight directions". I'm guessing the idea is that you're hitting things all over the place, even if it's not a suitable target.

How would that probabilistic model be applied to consciousness? Genuinely curious here. As far as I can tell, the definition of consciousness that Chalmers and others use doesn't seem to have measurable aspects.

I don't even follow what you're talking about. There are three telecom networks in NZ, the government owned one was privatized long ago and is publicly listed. There are private ski resort companies. In a lot of ways, Australia and NZ have gone far deeper into the neoliberal privatization rabbit hole than the US. NY airports run by the Port Authority isn't corruption? NY has government run ski resorts too.

And either way, socialism != corruption. You may not like it, but that doesn't mean it's corruption.

We switched to Intercom for sending our monthly email simply because its email editor is so good. I wish a proper email marketing service would come close to their simplicity, but I haven't seen anything yet. We might be moving back to Mailchimp soon because the per-user cost for Intercom has really skyrocketed since we've used them for email marketing. Granted, Intercom actually don't want people to use them for sending batch emails. I wish they'd come out with a standalone service for it—remain as dead-simple as their editor is now and they'd make a killing.

Did you reply to the wrong post? My post was only about ordering.

Still the C++ spec has wording about making stores visible in a reasonable time. The wording is non-normative as they run out of time (ah!) while trying to come up with a more formal (and implementable) specification.

edit: oh, I see I wrote 'default visibility' instead of 'default ordering'.
