"tl;dr - TV is just another medium. The most expensive one"

I'm not sure that's necessarily true. Facebook costs .27 per click, google addwords are 1$ and up. an add for the big bang theory is around 250-500k$ for 8-20 million views.

I feel like some companies actually spend too much on online advertisement. I also feel like the sudden pull of advertisements on youtube was more about people starting to question the ROI.
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~guyb/realworld/reedsolomon/reed_solom... Looks pretty reasonable.
Net Neutrality is a meme started by Google (the Halliburton of advertising) as propaganda intended to help harm its competitors.

Why shouldn't a local ISP make a deal with Bing Video to stream 5K unlimited in exchange for interruption ads, while limiting youtube traffic to 1080p?

Why should Google strong-arm those ISPs (via net neutrality) into providing support for the most expensive leg of data transit between customers and youtube without offering some kind of subsidy? Why are we all crossing our fingers hoping Google offers last mile in our area rather than aspiring to start a far better last-mile ISP using cutting edge tech?

Our highways do not have "neutrality". Only certified cars and trucks capable of certain speeds who have paid registration fees and taxes are allowed on the scarce resource.

With "highway neutrality" we'd have people walking, someone on a unicycle, various antique vehicles, a bus emitting smoke, and hordes of go-carts. All this traffic would require highways to be significantly larger than they are today, possibly 20-30 lanes wide.

With highways, we know there is demand to transit between cities, so we prioritize that traffic. The traffic pays a toll to the builder of the infrastructure.

For internet, we handle it differently. We grant a monopoly to the last mile providers and then force them to charge no tolls. So they create services that allow for the most cost-savings at the expense of overall quality... This means high latency, since batching upstream is one way they save money.

A low latency internet is not compatible with net neutrality, unless a latency requirement is built into the regulation as it is with POTS.

Since most content demanded (in bytes) is video, the network characteristics to optimize video will dominate ISP buildout, and all other protocols will suffer.

If ISPs build to meet demand, and massive services like YouTube are heavily demanded, then net neutrality offers competitive protection for YouTube/Google (the Halliburton of advertising), blocking local ISPs from doing deals that would challenge YouTube's dominance.

But why would an ISP build to meet demand for other services/protocols when the bar is simply set at providing adequate YouTube streaming? There is no incentive to push for better/faster protocols and more granular, tiered pricing.

Proponents of Net Neutrality need to detail exactly what QoS settings they are calling for, so that we can all evaluate specifically how our desired use-cases will be impacted.

Low latency, rather than burst bandwidth, is by far the most important characteristic of the last mile internet, and so we should be wary of any policies that de-emphasize latency.
Don't forget the lobbying efforts that result in local legislation that make it illegal for other companies to move in, see google fiber or any of the municipal attempts.

Mid 90s, I spent some time trying to make a "structured editor" for VRML-97, where the scene graph and the textual representation were linked (two way editing). I didn't get very far. I'm glad others continue to work on these ideas.
I live in a major tech hub in a neighborhood full of Amazon and Microsoft engineers, and the only available ISP is Comcast.

If I had literally any other choice, I would never give Comcast another dime. Given the prohibitive cost of last mile infrastructure, I can't see how I'll ever have another option in a deregulated market.

If the internet is fundamental to free speech, maybe it's not a good idea to give it's freedom over to state control, and in particular to an agency who historically has gone beyond it's original mandate and censored content.

When you hand over control to the government, don't ask yourself what it would look like if you were creating the laws, ask yourself what it'll look like when self-interested politicians create them.
I've heard that men who live to 100 have a 100% chance of prostate cancer. They just leave it untreated because we're cured when we die.

I would be ecstatic for an option for emergency healthcare insurance, because that's all my family needs. I could cost effectively purchase all other services necessary as needed, and save an enormous amount of money. But like I said, these companies need my money to shoulder the financial burden, so I'm not holding my breath. I just know I could learn to be okay with being forced to pay for other people if they managed it better.
November 8th was critical to the Internet's future, not today. People made their bed when they refused to get behind Clinton. Now you must accept the consequences.
Glad to see they're framing as a capital/labor question, because there are additional important considerations about robots replacing labor, in addition to increased productivity:

1. Robots are capital, and therefore investment, while labor is a pure expense. Capital will generate income that can be reinvested back into more capital etc, generating more wealth for the owner, and they can sell those robots later to turn that investment liquid.

But labor is purely an expense, and the money that a manufacturer pays to employees is wealth that they've transferred elsewhere, it doesn't compound, and it can't be owned and controlled like capital can.

2. In terms of taxation, governments in Europe and US tend to: 1. Tax labor relatively heavily (income taxes), 2. Tax capital gains relatively lightly, and 3. Do not tax capital ownership as such. So it's rational for capital owners to try to replace labor with capital if it can perform the same tasks - with tragic effects for labor.

Following Piketty, it seems to make sense to introduce a small but nonzero tax on the ownership of capital (not just on capital gains at the time of a sale) to offset these changes.

1) happens naturally in most markets. Without net-neutrality I believe that it would be harder for these companies to be dethroned if something better came along.

2) I think will only continue to be true for a short period of time. With products like Netflix and amazon, and with traditional television channels like HBO and ESPN starting to charge for streaming online, I think consumer attitude will shift as they realize that it's worth paying for content on the internet.

3) I'm skeptical is actually true and I'm skeptical that it's bad if true.

4) for most internet products the barrier of entry is smaller. You're only looking at one company. Compare to a company like Boeing, where it would take hundereds of millions to compete.

While the scope of the article is confined to manufacturing, which impacts less-specialized labor, I felt a sense of dread reading it for what it means for people losing their jobs to software. Fresh out of college in the late 1990s, one of my first "high tech" jobs was manually building HTML pages for job listings, copying-and-pasting advertisements from word documents all day long. One day, I recommended the company contract a programmer-friend of mine to automate the process and two weeks later I was looking for work--my job replaced by a script that ran a few minutes every morning.

Over the years I've watched various professions devalued to search engines and spreadsheets, from paralegals to accountants. I don't think it's a bad thing. It's progress and it's freeing up time. The bad part is that we live in a society with an antiquated work-ethic, where your value is measured in capital and the number of hours you put in each week at your job. Automation isn't the problem, living is a culture incapable of valuing leisure time is what needs to change.

Also, imagine Uber needs to raise additional capital for a physical fleet, and you are a potential investor: would you give your money to Uber, where it would only get you a tiny fraction relative to the massive (and already burnt) existing investment or would you give it to the second mover where your contribution to the fleet would give you a much bigger stake?
Anywhere: someone steals a vehicle.

America: the thief leads a chase and conducts a gun battle with police.

Florida: the vehicle is a golf cart.

I occasionally read the news and catch up on the exploits of legendary anti-hero Florida Man, and somewhat more rarely his intermittent girlfriend and permanent babymama, Florida Woman. Their stories can often be ended by the punchline, "The Aristocrats!"

So yes, Florida does appear to be a special case, but the state does make a special policing effort to keep Florida Man away from the tourists. So as long as you stick to the mainstream areas, you are unlikely to encounter him during your trip. But stray too far from the beaches, parks, and tourist traps, and you might just catch a glimpse of him or his exploits. And sometimes, you can still see him whitelining past your rental car on a motorcycle at 90 mi/hour (145 km/hour) in a 50 mi/hour (80 km/hour) zone. And if you ever see a naked man throw a Burmese python at a police car, that's definitely him.

Putting together paragraph 2 and paragraph 4 from your response, why don't the following things happen:

The widget company owner starts laying off widget makers to increase profit he can get the same output. Is there no diminishing margin utility for buying more widgets? Paragraph 2 by itself implies that the cost of widgets falls, if wages aren't rising and these increased widgets are being purchased. There's got to be some movement in one or both of cost and salary metrics in order to increase widget consumption if the employer is going to ramp up production so long as the net cost of each widget is positive. What's the incentive otherwise to greater production even if the capacity is there?

Paragraph 4 adds another good with these same questions I didn't feel the article answered well, and introduces the variable of product exchange rates. What unsettles me here is the obfuscation between the total resources poured into the industry and the per-person expenditures, especially in service-oriented work where the productivity isn't simply "widgets" or "sprockets".

Teaching is a great example: the number of teachers (in the US) increased about 48% from 1988 - 2012 but the population increased 29%. Did we get voluntarily make education "less productive" by increasing the decreasing the student:teacher ratio? Did we get better educational quality for it? Not so easy to say.

Could it not be that musicians were paid more by the mid-20th century because there a longstanding oversupply had been steadily declining due to cultural factors, or that concert financiers realized people valued and would pay more for music than had been assumed, i.e. basic supply and demand equilibration?

I'm trying not to be ornery or argumentative, I'm just having a hard time understanding what Baumol's assumptions were on these points, and I think they're important.

I stopped reading after your analogy to a highway. In a highway, slow users affect everyone and cause congestion.

In a data pipeline, that is not the case.

Most real world analogies for the internet are contrived and do more harm than good. We need to understand this technology is unlike anything we have had before, and its closest cousin is communications. And we have already qualified our communications pipelines as neutral infrastructure.

Please give your position on this matter more thought, without the harmful highway analogy.

Getting Started with Vue JS: The Progressive JavaScript Framework
ISPs and utility companies are natural monopolies. When you move to a new location, you're stuck with the ISPs that service that location; often just 1 ISP.

By giving them the power to selectively control what they're sending down the pipe, the monopoly problem will grow far far worse.

Net neutrality is not the cause of the problems you listed, and removing it won't solve any of them.

> not the content they want

This is FUD. Any ISP that decided to break the internet is going to fail. All they'd do is offer other services as alternatives to the big dollar ones like YouTube.

A last mile ISP does two core things. It arbitrages bandwidth for residential usage patterns and it deals with the last mile communications link. Net Neutrality forces a very specific arbitrage strategy on ISPs that severely limits profitability and removes the incentive for last-mile innovation.
I think that was also the case when this advice was written, but with different social norms around that intimacy.

How do you suggest we eliminate ISP monopolies?
It can be useful in either case. It depends on what the attacker is trying to achieve. If they just want to get in as any user, then your hypothetical system with a billion regular users is going to be even easier, because if even a fraction of those can be enumerated, it's likely that at least some will be accessible using a password-spraying attack using one or two common passwords, or by cross-referencing with passwords disclosed in a breach.
The Wikipedia article has a section "Reed & Solomon's original view: The codeword as a sequence of values" which I think is fairly easy to follow.

The fundamental idea is a polynomial of degree n is uniquely described by n+1 points (2 points give a unique line, 3 points a unique parabola, etc). If the polynomial is the data you want to protect, you can pick enough points to describe it redundantly. Then, if a point is lost, as long as there are enough to still uniquely determine the original polynomial, you can recover the original data. And if the points do not all come from the same polynomial (as when the data has been corrupted) you can at least detect this, and you may be able to throw out some of the points to recover.

(Edited to correct that the polynomial is the original message, not some set of points)
This guide makes an interesting choice with regards to etcd security, which I'm not sure I'd go with.

etcd stores a load of sensitive cluster information, so unauthorised access to it is a bad thing.

There's an assumption in the guide that you have a "secure network" and therefore don't have to worry about etcd authentication/encryption. The thing is if you have a compromised container (say) and that container, which has an in-cluster IP address can see your etcd server, then it can easily dump the etcd database and get access to the information held in it...

Personally I'd recommend setting up a small CA for etcd and using it's authentication features, there's a good guide to this on the CoreOS site https://coreos.com/etcd/docs/latest/op-guide/security.html
