Lisp and Emacs have decades of shared history, it's unlikely someone will really break this bond.

It would be nice to have alternatives, of course, but there is a reason certain people like emacs. (To be fair, I was an emacs user before I came across Lisp, but I can imagine how annoying/intimidating/frustrating it can be to somebody who has never used emacs before.)

> Oh how nice of Tom Wheeler to play the good-guy now. It took a lot of public outcry for him to change his tune about Net Neutrality.

That's wrong. He was for net neutrality from day one at the FCC.

You are probably thinking of the first net neutrality rule he proposed, which would have allowed for paid fast lanes, and interpreting that as somehow not being for net neutrality.

When he proposed that rule that was about the strongest net neutrality rule possible without reclassifying ISPs as common carriers. Reclassification was a very risky approach, with probably at least an order of magnitude more chance of not surviving. He did state that he was open to that approach, if the comments on the first proposal indicated that there was enough support for reclassification.
Skim through via my RSS reader, and read around 10-20 articles a day.
I really appreciate hearing your perspective on all this! Lots of good points that I will consider.

The convenience factor and lowering the barrier of entry is definitely what I thought would have some appeal. Use in various education settings included.

Edit: one thing that I realize now is not clear at all -- anyone with a Google account can use it to login (no password) if you visit the "sign in" page instead of "sign up". I need to make this more clear.

It's definitely apparent now that having a way to see how it works without having to login would be a great improvement. I'd considered it before but haven't gotten to it yet since the implementation will be some work. I'll reevaluate.

And thanks for the other tips.
> I don't recall a lot of discussion on HN about which proxy to use

When the articles about ISPs came up (as Verizon did, fairly frequently; though it was also as frequently buried), there was discussion about using VPNs. We're primarily technology users and creators; our first instincts are to find technological solutions to such problems.

Give this a week, and it will fade from the front pages as well. That doesn't mean it's not still important, or that we accept the new status quo as being right or correct.

> Wondering why the reaction to going back to the status quo

Because, IMO, that "status quo" was not a good place to be, and was getting worse. And is now likely to continue to get worse since we've regressed back to it.

We pride ourselves as Americans as being progressive - trying to make things more fair for everyone. Everyone should have a vote. Everyone should be able to express their thoughts without fear of censorship. Everyone should have the ability to rise above their station. Everyone should have a right to privacy. When our elected government take steps away from these ideals, people (rightly, IMO) complain that we're moving in the wrong direction.

The Commission gets a bad rap because basically it's been stuffed with cronies and friends of council members. The UK may be the worst for this, we had one Commissioner who had been disgraced out of the UK cabinet twice, and then found himself in a nice 'untouchable' position on the Commission.

He's now a Lord.

There are flaws in UK democracy certainly but I don't think the EU got it right.

I also fundamentally have a problem with the scale of the thing - any government of a bloc that large is going to have problems with being unrepresentative. I look at Switzerland and Iceland with envy - the people can achieve change there. The USA, EU, even UK? Not so much.

This isn't a vasectomy...it's a gel injected into the vas deferens which does not block the flow of sperm, but reacts with the negative charge of the sperm to render them infertile. The gel may also removed with another quick injection to flush.

I do. That's what this whole discussion is about.

We don't have to hypothesize here: there's a theory called intersectionality that specifically examines how these things interact. There doesn't have to be just one "defining characteristic".

this seems like yet another bash at the white male, but if you think of it there's already vasectomies and if you're rich you'll have a few children followed by a vasectomy. this is for the poorer individual that doesn't want the burden but might want to reverse it, which is more appealing to the non-rich-guy. and maybe in india* you can still be seen a virile as it's reversible. *i don't know about indian culture.

All of your points also existed before the second world war. Russia was already a big empire, other big empires existed throughout the history of Europe. That never stopped European countries from attacking each other. Basically, almost everything else has staid the same, the only change was the EU and its predecessors came into existence after WW2. That's certainly not a proof (it's impossible to proof such thins without a alternative-history-viewer-machine, which hasn't been developed so far) but it is a very strong hint.

But this is an easily reversible vasectomy, with an even less invasive initial procedure (a couple of injections rather than a keyhole surgery).

Men don't generally get vasectomies until they (think they) are done having children. This would be a reasonable procedure to have when you are young, have it reversed when you are settled and want to have kids, then have re-done (or get a vasectomy) when you're done.

Ultimate Irony: if the Brexit leads to brain drain leads to importing more immigrants.
Why not run a utility that visits random websites to drown the signal from the noise? Imagine this thing running 24/7 and visiting all sorts of sites, including all sorts of porn and fetish sites or whatever is taboo in your culture. Now its impossible to see what I'm actually visiting and you'd be foolish to not realize that these are generated url visits. A bit like how people used to copy and paste 'NSA keywords' into their emails and web postings.

You think that regulation is the relevant barrier to entry to being an ISP? Not the cost of running lines or anti-competitive practices by rivals?

Please, this just means no protection for an environment where, right now, we have no competition to move to when our ISP decides to do something shitty.

The Brexit Letter [pdf]
Don't have a moment to read your sources at the moment.

But weren't the protections only put into place last year because they weren't needed until then?

In other words, they were under the jurisdiction of the FTC previously, so this particular legislation a moot point, because the FTC could just say "hey, you can't do that. case closed."

Now because of the "common carrier exemption" I don't think that would hold up.

This was useful in some quick tidbits about FTC + FCC relationship, previous responsibilities, and current. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/public_statements...

Funny enough, they talk about how the FCC handles data/privacy breaches, and how they came down really hard on a minor breach that affected a few cox subscribers, nothing with payment data or even any actual damages.

This seemingly means that the FTC takes privacy seriously. But congress won't let them.
No, we are not all serfs in principle, that argument is absolutely ridiculous. If you're so oppressed by your employer and committed to your own sense of victimhood, move into the woods, start homesteading, and "never work again." At that point you'd probably start calling nature despotic because the resources for you to survive in the woods don't just bring themselves to you. We are nothing like serfs. The thing that's holding you back is your expectations on quality of life, not the hours you work.

CRA actions can't be filibustered, regular legislation can. OTOH, while Democrats might filibuster repeal of the FCC action if they could, I can't imagine a clear positive grant of regulatory mandate to the FTC on this issue would be opposed by Democrats, so if that were really the majority's concern, I don't see how the procedural distinction between CRA action and regular legislation would be a real issue.

> “The Drupal community and its members treat one another with respect.”

Frankly, the DCOC is vague. If we want to kick out people with a reference to the DCOC, we have to define with mathematical precision what is “respect”, “poor manners”, “people outside the Drupal project”.

> VPN

This is a political problem. Technology like a VPN or alternative DNS is little more than a placebo. With the ISP as a permanent MitM, modern deep-packet inspection, etc, you are probably still leaking a lot of information.

Worse, you're only moving the problem to a different location. Even if you were able to hide your traffic from your local ISP, your VPN host or DNS service becomes your ISP de facto. Also, if any of your online accounts can be tied back to you on their own, you might not get a choice in the matter; the server's ISP can also sell information. What about TLS? Unfortunately far too many websites are only encrypted to CloudFlare.

However, the real reason that VPNs/etc are not a solution is that privacy shouldn't be limited to people with a technical background. Those of us that do understand the technology have a duty to help the people without that knowledge and experience.
The UK is a EU member, will full rights and full obligations. Now, and at least for the next two years.

Brexit has not yet happened, by a long stretch of imagination. A letter has been delivered, nothing more and nothing less.

Supply chains have not changed, work rights have not changed, residence and movement rights have not changed, trade costs have not changed, taxation rules have not changed.

The only real change up to now has been the depreciation of the pound. That would mean that less foreign applicants are interested in moving to the UK, but there is less of an argument about whether UK nationals are more interested in moving to the rEU, for two reasons:

- less mobility of UK citizens, because of low proficiency levels in foreign languages

- higher rates / salary in the UK, which still holds even after the devaluation of the pound.

You will not see big changes in a long time, even if Brexit turns out to be a game changer (for the better or worse)
