> How on earth does letting ISPs milk more money out of their existing network incentivize those ISPs to expand that network?

The fundamental idea is that the amount of investment done in a venture is directly proportional to the profitability of that venture. If govt makes a regulation saying that Google can provide Hangouts service, but it cannot charge more for Enterprise Hangouts features, then Google has no additional incentive to expand the hangouts service than what it gets by having the business of consumer market.

If Uber/Lyft is previously not allowed to provide priority Corporate service to corporate clients (and let's just say they do it by letting the corporate Uber cars bypass the consumer Uber cars using their Map service) then Uber/Lyft are allowed to do that, then their increased profit margins will allow them to fund their autonomous car other operations to build the network faster.

You may disagree with the ethic of overnight delivery services of UPS, but at least not pretend that if UPS is allowed to charge more and deliver packets overnight then this allows them invest more into their infrastructure.

the funny thing is this kind of thinking is actually pervasive among engineers, and it doubles your isolation. You tell that story to folks and way more people than you would think actually blame you for the problem, (after all you wouldn't be put on a Performance Improvement plan without some sort of due process right? wrong), makes you even more unsure of yourself, even more anxious, even more depressed, even more isolated, even more likely to just take your own life.

Perhaps understanding, but I found it perplexing. Maybe it's because I was in more AP / IB classes, but I did not find education "indoctrination" and "uniform" (so I think his second concluding paragraph was bogus).

I am also not sure what "state religion" David is talking about in the third concluding paragraph that I was "indoctrinated" into. I will note that the continuous citation of Britain in the early 19th century is problematic to me, as the education set up back then was usually run by the Church of England and other religious institutions (http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/warks/vol7/pp486-500). Not the best example of a free market system here.

I personally am not terribly convinced that a completely private system would work out very well for the under-advantaged in both income and location, particularly the later. This is an issue even in public schools which have no profit motive; how would adding a profit motive help groups that are by definition unprofitable? In America we already have a widening school inequality issue that in part is due to our use of property taxes as funding. (https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/08/propert...).

I do think that mixed systems (something like charter schools) can work if quality control and accountability is in place. (EG: You hear pros and cons, but by and large the charter system implemented by New Orleans seems to have worked.) Elsewise, you're likely to see problems that, at worst, might resemble the "diploma mills" you see in the United States.
Who would benefit from posting their product to 125 websites except spammers and growth hackers?
It doesn't even sound like either you or that person needs to be in the US. Pretty funny if you combine it with how some countries are willing to bend over to help Uncle​ Sam's goons jail anyone they label a criminal.
I've mentioned it a few times; I think it's pretty important because it has a bunch of ideas which are our last best hope to prevent the centralisation of the Internet.

Some of their proposals, taken together, could enable people to emulate what Facebook offers, from their own servers.

I'm not 100% onboard with all their ideas, and a few just seem wrong, but all in all I think that they're exciting and important.

>Instead of just close/lock the door for my neighbor or call the cop,

This is where your analogy breaks. Who is your neighbor on the internet? The most logical answer I have is "Everyone with a public IP".

Next, who is the internet police? Sorry folks, there isn't one. If my neighbors house is open, I would call the cops for two reasons. First I don't want to see their stuff damaged. But also, it creates a public nuisance. Some variant of criminals (say drug users or stupid teens) could take up residence in their house, possibly even burning it down, which would make it a direct threat to me.

And that's the problem with our current internet police. They will gladly try to arrest you for breaking into someones house. But they will not bust the 100,000 houses that leave their front door open inviting crime into the neighborhood.

These types of chairs are common in the Middle East and parts of Asia they are usually called Syrian or fan folding chairs here is a 19th century example of a 19th century one https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.1stdibs.com/amp/furniture...

There is also another common design in which the chair unfolds to like a bundle of crossed beams and you put a pillow in the middle to sit.

Not exactly sure what "algorithm" was needed to design the chair, I would think by now Sweden would be familiar with middle eastern designs.

This is really excellent advice. I work in legislative affairs with lobbyists and lawyers. After 12 years working in DC with and for congress, I can say unequivocally there is absolutely nothing good that can come from voluntarily cooperating with the police. You should avoid them at all cost. Do not volunteer. Speak through your lawyer if you speak at all, and never allow yourself to get trapped. It's nice to think prosecutors won't go after small fish, but to them you are worth nothing, and they will hang you out to dry if it gets them even the most remote, minor, or inconsequential conviction.
It's OK to feel hopeless.
You might want to focus on things that you do have an effect on in your daily life and try not to dwell on the current news. Changes aren't meant to be quick and drastic, our government is designed deliberately so that it was slow.

Channels can be made with no buffering at all. In this case trying to send without a receiver is blocking, so the channel is not really acting as a queue anymore.

Buffering is only an option to improve performance. Programs should (if they are correct in a sense) be able to work with channels without buffering.
Schwab has the best checking accounts out there, I use them.

But I use Merrill Edge as a commission-free brokerage (30 trades per month with $50k assets, 100 trades per month with $100k assets). The upside (apart from not being limited to iShares at Fidelity and Schwab at Schwab) is in the credit card, which beats Fidelity.

Bank of America Travel Rewards rates:

* $50k+ Merrill Edge Balance: 2.25% travel rewards cash back

* $100k+ Merrill Edge Balance: 2.625% travel rewards cash back

Bank of America Cash Rewards:

* $100k+ Merrill Edge Balance: 3.5% groceries, 5.25% gas cash back.

Great deal. Oh, and they'll often pay you about 0.5% (up to $1000) of assets to transfer your equities in. Holding Vanguard/Schwab/iShares ETFs there is a dream for a personal finance geek. The credit card deal alone makes it all worthwhile.
Try AsapSCIENCE on YouTube, White Rabbit Project on Netflix, Bill Nye Saves the World (also Netflix) or Mythbusters.

All are great science shows and they all have their own merits. Mythbusters has interesting visual effects, Bill Nye is pretty well known, White Rabbit Project has more pop culture, and AsapSCIENCE talks about the science of daily life.

Tritium is rare, and has to be bred from lithium, but deuterium isn't the least bit rare. There's enough deuterium in your morning shower to provide all your energy needs for a year, and enough in the oceans to last until the sun goes out.

(Plenty of boron too, though it's not so absurdly abundant as deuterium.)

> What they get is irrelevant

It's actually the main relevant part of the analogy.

It goes to veracity.

There's a person who gave a public talk about manipulating Bitcoins with weak private keys in order to alert the owners that they were vulnerable. But he did it in a way that verified to the owner he hadn't in fact stolen the coins (moving small portions around or maybe signing with the key, I can't remember). He also mentioned in the public talk that the owners of those Bitcoins were totally freaked out by this, and most were never convinced that he was acting in good faith (which is probably a smart assumption on their part).

So the fact that he didn't steal the coins is completely relevant-- it's the very reason he could give a public talk on what is still grey area behavior.

Your hypothetical thief, on the other hand, is clearly mendacious. You have him claiming, "If I don't capitalize on it, then people won't understand the costs/risks." That is clearly false from my real-world example above, and if he tried to give a public talk about how his theft benefited society he'd be arrested.
That's my understanding of it.
The footnote I linked contains several references and full study texts. The short version is that homeless panhandlers are definitely a phenomenon, but the overlap between the two populations is often significantly smaller than might be naively assumed.
Well, yea, thats half the point. The point is manufacturers can't be bothered because it doesn't hurt them. There isn't a way to hurt them short of lawsuit or legislation. We don't really have the standing or power to effect change, so they hurt the consumers who complain to the manufacturers. Nobody thinks this is a nice solution, but is there a better alternative?
And DLink will continue to try to save money by releasing products without following proper security procedures because you will keep buying them because they are cheap.

It's tough for security to affect purchasing decisions because it's difficult to measure. I can measure horsepower, megapixels, gigabytes, milliamp-hours, etc. so it's easy to make purchasing decisions based on which of those things are important to me.
It's straightforward to copy the per-user software settings from one registry to another.

You can't copy full software installs like that, but it's not the fault of the registry. Installing typical software means affecting dozens of system settings all in different places. You can't easily copy linux software along with every setting it affects either. You're best off either reinstalling or copying the entire drive, both of which work on Windows.

Except that suddenly there are lots of people NOT buying at Amazon anymore.

In fact, most of my purchases go into 3 buckets:

1) Standard but I don't want crap--probably I'm going to a retailer website and picking it up (Target, Frys, etc. -- NewEgg is my exception to actually having brick and mortar). If I can pick it up, it's probably at least a notch or two above crap.

2) Total crap--probably ordering from Alibaba--not Amazon.

3) Something I need to go to a store for

To me, Amazon is being used decreasingly by everybody around me.
So I never knew about ffffound, but looking at it and considering that it is crowd-sourced content made me baffled since it's actually... good. When you go to reddit/imgur and such, you inevitablly get the same dump of tacky, half-funny bullshit.

I guess the exclusivity is really helping. Popularity rankings alone can't solve minimum quality barriers. I just wished I had found it earlier, now it's shutting down.

This person doesn't understand the concept of super AI. Of course intelligence is not one dimensional. But the current limit in pretty much all of those dimensions is physical: It's the larger amount of neurons and connections we could fit in the smallest space that can pass through the pelvis while still feeding enough energy to the brain.

You can imagine this as a bunch of people that speaks with each other. The faster they can communicate ideas with each other, the more potentially intelligent the group can be. Machines can surpass the speed of this collective intelligence by orders of magnitude, even if everything else is exactly as a human. This is exactly the reason we evolved to have so many brain resources for language.
If the police are at your door, and,

1. you know a crime happened around you recently;

2. you saw/heard something;

3. you either feel some sense of moral responsibility in helping to catch the criminal, or you just feel unsafe in your home and want to feel safe again;

then I don't see what's wrong with taking part in a conversation with a police officer that goes specifically along the lines of "we know you were at [place] at [time]" or "[crime] happened in your building", followed by "did you see or hear anyone or anything suspicious?"

Sure, if the conversation goes anywhere else, lawyer up. But is there any risk in providing the same statement when the police come to you, that you'd have willingly provided by actively going down to the police station to give a witness statement?

(Which is, after all, the majority of the interviews the police do. For every one person the police speak to under suspicion, they speak to 5+ other people—witnesses—to figure out who to suspect. This is exactly the "research" you mention above.)
Electric prices have never been fixed at scale. It's really only small scale consumers that get a fixed but often higher rate. See Enron for example. Changing when energy is cheap does not break the model.
I think you underestimate current C compilers. GCC with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 successfully detect a buffer overflow at runtime when doing:

strcpy(((struct Data *)data.next)->name, string_pointer)

If the compiler knows the size of the input string at compile time then you will get also a warning during the compilation:

/usr/include/bits/string3.h:110:10: warning: call to __builtin___memcpy_chk will always overflow destination buffer
Super intelligence is a cargo cult for some, you know who I am talking about, but it doesn't mean it won't happen to some degree.

How to Build a Beautiful API Business
The problem is, this advice isn't actionable.

You're not able to control if your direct supervisor secretly wants to limit your career advancement by doing anything except quitting.

If you're in a sales environment with public figures, if you're a star, you can't hide that you are; it will be common knowledge and in your example, this will mean sabotage.

While you can control for working hard, arriving early, and knowing more, you can't really control things like your manager's goal subordination: no amount of clique loyalty would get you past that.

In short, how does one play politics, if every example of playing politics secretly is just "Quit your job?"
Hackintoshes are a fun hobby and in my youth I burnt a lot of time messing around with editing kexts, boot loaders, and fixing it after every other update. Soon as I got my first paying job I plowed my first two pay cheques into a Mac Pro and never looked back. The headache of relying on a Hackintosh which could break between updates was just not worth it at all when I had work to do on it.

Are Hackintoshes much more reliable today than they used to be?
Any alternatives? This is the first time I heard of it (that I remember?) and I now kinda want a site like that in my life.
What troubles me the most is that even in the face of overwhelming evidence such as the research you describe, a very significant portion of Americans obstinately refuse to consider any and all forms of social aid.

I don't get it. I've tried to listen to their arguments and I just don't get it.

Currently, the would-be recipients of such aid do not participate in the economy and cost the taxpayer billions in unpaid ER visits, policing, jails, property devaluation, etc.

There are exactly two reasons I can think of why someone would oppose helping such people:

1. being extremely sheltered and having no understanding of what it's like to be poor.

2. an "us-vs-them" mentality (black people, immigrants, white trash, etc)

All I can say is that such attitudes truly reveal something about the moral fiber of the individuals who hold them. The older I get, the less respect I have for such persons.
There was an initiative in the state of Kerala for bio portable toilets with solar powered light. I saw one or two in the Cochin city which uses a 1 rupee coin to open the door.

The problem with these initiatives is that they are all politically motivated. Once the ruling parties get the necessary PR around it, the funding is stopped. Modi is no different. There is no reason to laud Modi for this. The previous governments have also done this though with a less "catchy" names with no PR.

I think what you're suggesting is that enough bricked devices will cause consumers to demand security - maybe even some measurable metric, like a certification of external audit - as part of the standard product search.

But I don't think bricking a device necessarily ties into security in people's minds. If they permanently modified it to always show HACKED_BCUZ_DLINK_SUX whenever I try to load the camera feed, sure - but a bricked camera is just a failure. I don't even know if it got hacked, or if a capacitor blew, or if a rodent chewed through something crucial.

That sounds like a compelling argument not to always have it there. If anything, it would be more noticeable if it only showed up sometimes as opposed to it always being present.
You seem to have missed the other half of the point I was making, which was that there's lots of non-nuclear hazardous waste which lasts forever and we don't get nearly as upset about those.
That sounds really interesting, do you have any publicly available documentation or articles about it?
1. No he didn't.

2. Just stay home.
Yes, it makes every effort to corrupt the filesystem that the operating system is stored on and mess up the networking before shutting down the device or rebooting. If the device has its' OS on readonly media then this won't do much. Maybe it will turn off until someone cycles it. If you can reformat or reflash the disk then you can recover. For a raspberry pi that's cool. For an IP camera it's generally a problem.

Increasing speed only get's you so far. Internal combustion performance over time and past gains are greater than all possible future gains. So, sure you might see faster gains to some limit. But, don't expect a weather forecast to be accurate out a full month etc etc.

Further, to get better you need to optimize for something. You might get an AI that's really good at writing fiction, but how do you measure that and write one that's even better at writing fiction?
Just my opinion, but Amazon, FB, Apple, and all these companies that these thought leaders like MG Siegler, Stratchery, and Gruber write about aren't interesting.

They won at the same game by outcompeting others at selling commodity junk. Great. How? Same way. They had leaders whose business won the lottery and simultaneously didn't care about other humans to the same infinitesimally small way necessary to win that big (one can lose big with that give-no-f*cks mindset too, hence the lottery).

Selling crap isn't interesting. Show me somebody that makes a similar-sized dent in human health, the environment, or world peace then I think the fawning Medium articles will be worth it.
