That's not how it will play out, though. Even without network neutrality rules in-place, that would run afoul of anti-trust and consumer protection law.

The way ISPs will extract money is by nominally creating a two -tiered network. The lower tier will be the default tier. All external traffic will be routed over it by default. Entities like NetFlix will be able to pay the ISP to have their traffic routed over higher tier. The higher tier will have better latency, will be charged against an end-users throughput meter at a discounted rate, or both.

It will be a form of hidden price discrimination and thus a form of hidden tax on the market. price discrimination is usually a good thing, and even a hidden tax isn't per se bad. The reason this is bad is it will allow the ISPs to extract far more wealth from the Internet than they would ever add by improved and cheaper service.

A free market requires transparency in pricing between Alice and Bob. If Mallory can insert herself between Alice and Bob, she can obscure pricing signals. That means Bob will have a more difficult time assessing the worth of services provided him by Mallory and Alice. That also implies he'll have trouble assessing the value proposition of competitors to Alice and Mallory.

Comcast may try to extort money from Netflix, but alot of people assume that in the long-run Netflix would benefit from the tactic. They have a huge first-mover advantage. Comcast would never be able to provide a service like Netflix as well as Netflix does. The result will be that while Comcast may extract profits from Netflix, Netflix and other incumbents will have less competition and in the long-term might even benefit relative to net neutrality. Comcast will effectively provide a moat for Netflix and other incumbents in the form of higher barrier to market entrance for startups, as the incumbents will pay an effectively cheaper per-byte rate (much cheaper than in a net neutrality world) given their huge volume. Furthermore, incumbents will be a cash-cow to the ISPs, creating significant incentive to be hostile to competitors.

The losers will be consumers, prospective competitors, and overall technological and market vibrancy. But all of this will, again, be largely hidden. The solution is simple, obvious, fair, well-understood, but stark, especially in the context of a conservative narrative about regulation. It also has tons of precedent going back hundreds of years in terms of the legal and economic study of common carriers. The end-to-end principle of networks is conceptually related, too. The malady will be an obscure low-grade fever that saps value and weakens competitiveness, but will largely go ignored over time, after which people will wonder why the pace of innovation slowed down so much.

DO you even know how this works? Seems like the lot of peeps here have no friggin clue.

1. People build websites and have fiverr people write reviews then link to Amazon to reap that sweet, sweet affiliate cash.

2. People build websites and write reviews for products based on the most return using Amazon Affiliate software that ranks products.

3. People honestly link to their affiliate via a blog for a personal hobby.

Most of the affiliates are trying to make money and they don't give a shit how they do it.

These names are incompatible with the "host" command-line utility, probably because looking up the A record returns NXDOMAIN instead of NOERROR.

NXDOMAIN means "this name doesn't exist, so don't bother asking for other record types."
PC parts (along with electronics and a dozen or so other categories) were already ineligible for volume pricing under the old program. Volume pricing applied only to items that did not fall into one of the flat-rate categories.
(I’m thinking across a span of about 20 years.)

We have moved up one or two levels of abstraction. It is now not only possible to perform complex tasks in scripting/shell environments but easy to do so (huge standard libraries, etc.), and code written at a high level is now “fast enough” in most cases. Also, the nature of those tasks has gone up a level or two; networking, for instance, is no longer a neat feature and is more like a core competency for a language.

We’ve spent a long time on parallel processing and finally have some pretty neat constructs for doing so (in mainstream languages and not just side projects). Well overdue, and it leads to more natural coding in a lot of cases.

We have a more “international” coding environment. It is far more common now to see at least a preference for stuff like UTF-8, if not full support for it.

We’ve successfully open-sourced certain tools that are critical to development. For instance, nowadays you don’t really expect to pay money for a compiler, and you probably are using an open-source revision control system (though some proprietary ones still exist). Generally, there is a greater expectation that a community of some sort will exist around crucial infrastructure tools.

Hardware, obviously, is way better. Unfortunately, while this has clearly allowed for some incredible advances, it has also enabled extremely sloppy coding. There seem to be massive amounts of memory allocated and other “features” of some modern programs, and they work only because so many people have over a gigabyte of RAM to make up for it.
Good points. Re: capital is mobile. Just because that's true right now doesn't mean we shouldn't try to fix it. E.g. By strongly penalising tax avoidance, forbiding tax havens or enforcing transparency, by stopping free trade and implementing fair trade instead (where companies/countries would have tariffs imposed to offset any gains they get from less strict environmental/employment regulation abroad), or even implementing worldwide income (and dividend) tax like the US. I mean, there still are things that rich Western countries can offer even to wealthy people, like freedom, security, cultural diversity, ... so chances are the wealthy would stay here even if they had to pay bigger taxes. Currently, of course, this doesn't matter because they can just move their capital away even if they physically live here, but as I suggested above, we could (should?) fix that.
My understanding is that they rate limit the number of emails sent to a domain per IP address, per hour. Email service providers assume that if you send "too many" emails to their domain per hour, it's "spam".

The same thing happens with my dedicated IPs (sending ~500k/mo). Yahoo is frequently rate limited. Gmail is less common, though we have years of good reputation on those IPs.

Counterpoint: I did not help the defense industry as a spineless sellout looking for money.

I studied computer science because it was interesting. Period. Not because I wanted to change the world, or make a pile of money.

I wrote code, as a contractor, for the army, as a way of serving my country. I know that's not a popular stance to take now that pride in one's country is not politically correct, but pride in and service to my country is something that is important to me. Don't mistake pride for blind unwavering support in everything we do like the "USA-USA" chanting folks often have. I'm more than happy to point out where we, as a country, have fucked up. We've done it quite a lot.

I have medical conditions that preclude active service. I also have a family tradition of service, both in and out of uniform. Since I could not serve in uniform like my great grandfather did in WWI, my grandfather and his brother did in WWII, or like my uncles did in Korea and Vietnam, I did as my father did and served my country by providing my skills in a time, place, and manner the DoD needed.

I'll have no decorations, no glory, no rifle salute at my funeral.

I most certainly could have made a boatload more money working elsewhere.

Yet, I don't regret it one bit.

It was something I felt I needed to do - some will understand, others, I suspect including you, won't ever comprehend

War moves humanity forward, but at a terrible price. Since humanity will never eliminate war, when someone has to pay that price, I'd simply rather it not be my countrymen (and now countrywomen).

I'm happy you've got values you're willing to stand by and not compromise.

I'm happier that I live in a country where you're allowed to call those that serve "immoral" and "spineless piece[s] of shit" with no governmental repercussions or retaliation.

I'm happiest that despite my conditions, I found a way to contribute, even if in a minor (and now most likely obsolete) way, to the defense of that nation.

Wait, why can't you block spammers as fast as they are created? If your computer is compromised, it seems fine to disconnect it, or at least severely rate limit uploading until you fix the problem. Its the responsibility of the internet user to keep their computer in working order.

Really, if your computer is spamming someone, even if you aren't aware of it, you are harming them, and ignorance shouldn't be protection. Maybe fines and jail are a bit too severe, but rate limiting and possible disconnection are more then fair.

Nice ipinfo.io mashup! This whole part

dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com | xargs -I {} echo "ipinfo.io/"{} | xargs curl | grep loc | cut -d: -f2 | sed "s/,$//"

can be simplified to

curl ipinfo.io/loc

which gives you exactly the same information, per https://ipinfo.io/developers

But ip geolocation usually gives you city or zipcode level accuracy, which may or may not be good enough to get an accurate uber estimate depending on how big your city/zip area is.
A more apples-to-apples comparison with Cassandra would be FaunaDB transactions and Cassandra's atomic batch mutations, or its PAXOS-based lightweight transactions as opposed to single-cell writes tested in most Cassandra benchmarks.

YMMV, but we've found the performance of Cassandra writing out similar-sized multi-row atomic batches at QUORUM to be similar in this hardware configuration.

FaunaDB transactions are quite a bit more powerful, as they can span multiple keys, use conditionals and read-modify-write logic, and still resolve with serializable semantics.

You're pretty much asking for PowerShell. I've been using it for a while, which might jade my answer. That said, I've got it being installed on my Unix systems as my one-true-shell.

You stream objects instead of text. The objects can be rich. It's a huge step forward in semantics and consistency.
There isn't one monolithic "American culture". For example just because I'm part of the hacker culture doesn't mean I have to sip IPAs. There can and will be cherry picking of aspects they like, what matters is how their outlook changes and the love for this land. They might appear to be outwardly disinterested, but many sort of enjoy the culture in their own ways. Giving up on their citizenship and applying for a new one is no easy decision.
Those should both be superseded by PowerShell for anything realistic on Windows.

So, the head of my department doesn't have access to... most of what I do. That isn't to say she isn't in charge, or doesn't have every right to see that information. But it isn't her job, and she doesn't need that access, so she doesn't have it. If she needed it, she'd get it. There's no trust issue here, she is completely trustworthy. But her not having the access protects her just as much as it protects the rest of the organization. Because she doesn't have to worry about any risks to that access through her credentials.

In this case, Waymo has a design server, Anthony clearly didn't work on it's contents, because he didn't already have the software to access that server on his computer. Therefore, regardless of the source of the IP (which isn't his, he sold it), he really shouldn't have ever been given access to it. When the server was first spun up, access should've been given to... the people who would be using it, and nobody else.

Of course, if at some point he did need to access those files, he could ask, and be granted that access. And that doesn't need to be a difficult process (granting access to things takes an IT person a minute or two), but there is now an additional person that knows that user has been recently added to access. Even informally, this is a pretty good security measure, because in most cases, it should be fairly obvious why someone needs something. And if it's not obvious, and maybe that employee has been, as the article says, talking about leaving the company and replicating the technology elsewhere... suddenly that IT person maybe has a reason to mention the issue up the chain.

I think this is trying to combat a phenomenon that isn't based on logic with something that is - I doubt it will work.

> Neither do rack servers. End customers don't buy the dumb pipe directly.

Of course; they buy it from ISPs, and now you have the same problem again.

> The same fiber can transfer the same amount of traffic.

It doesn't matter how much your fiber can transfer if the arrangements at the meet-me room can't get you that much content for a price you want to pay.

> Cost more than paying monopoly prices for services?

For the same bandwidth? Yes. Raw bandwidth costs more than a plan from an ISP offering that much bandwidth.

> Would Comcast rather have network neutrality or divest its ISP/TV business?

I don't want a single choice of ISP, whether that ISP has agreed to network neutrality restrictions or to divest any particular services. I'd like a dozen ISPs to choose from, and then the rest stops causing a problem.

Flexible SSL still protects the user from being on an untrusted network, from having their ISP read and/or modify their traffic, etc. It's much better than bare http://.

I did frontend for around 5 years. Started with Angular before it was cool and went through all the node/npm hype. I'm getting out of frontend now because of the ridiculous state of frameworks and libraries. In the mean time for my side projects I now do almost everything in pure JS and use only specific functions from libraries if there is no way around.

The irony with all these frameworks, in many cases especially for small projetcs, it will be more efficient to code it from scratch than dealing with the whole stack thing. So much for not reinventing the wheel ...
This was good meme that served its function well when it was needed - early enthusiasm for reusable cryptographic primitives and a failure to recognise the foot-shooting potential lead to many easily broken schemes.

Now, however, "don't roll your own crypto" is dogma, and if anything we have the opposite problem of monoculture and slow progress. I think a more nuanced view is required, one that encourages experimentation when the stakes are low and more competing implementations when the stakes are high (or perhaps we should call them "complementing" - a standard ought to have multiple implementations).

As Wikipedia puts it, "Mathematical analysis of [security] protocols is, at the time of this writing, not mature... Protocol design is an art requiring deep knowledge and much practice; even then mistakes are common." How are programmers to practice, if they are not allowed to fail?

The way Fastmail is setup is that there's a master administrator login for each account, and then you create email addresses under that account with their own logins.

So if you somehow lose control of an email login, you can just get your administrator to login and reset it for you.

Presumably if you needed the administrator account reset, you would have to contact Fastmail support, but you don't tend to log in to those much at all so there's less chance of them being stolen.
You know what? This dude has had like 40 laptops or something... he is probably the least qualified person to tell me what to buy. I don't want someone who hasn't had to deal with the computer for the long haul. I mean, shit... I can go to Bestbuy and set-up a camera and do the same shit review. I can form an opinion based on 10 minutes with the laptop, then copypasta the other reviews of that particular piece and move on to the next one.

Then 6 months from now after I've reviewed dozens of different laptops for the same amount of bullshit time, do it again with the old reviews... rinse, repeat. No day to day needed... just go over it once for a few hours, make some bullshit recommendation, then call it a day. Bullshit.
If your traffic shaping rules are different depending on protocol or port number or source or destination IP or AS, then that's discriminatory. Within the space of packet scheduling policies that treat all protocols equally, it is still possible to be somewhat discriminatory and it is still possible to do good QoS. Further and more careful regulations may be necessary, but it is certainly possible to cleanly prohibit a large category of bad behavior without having harmful side effects.
