I looked into becoming a volunteer firefighter after I got out of the Marines, but honestly the extremely long training required and the extremely high potential for PTSD from fire calls gone bad put me off from it.
Yes, that is a good point. It's definitely started infecting all sorts of software that targets general consumers.
Woah I was not trying to make a personal attack, so I don't think hating on me from a throwaway is really called for. I know that a lot of people like doing those things because I hang out with them and often do them too.

You really got me wrong. I was trying to open a dialogue on shifting norms, not assume a position of moral superiority.

A look at the ratings for a current top show (Big Bang Theory) shows that about 2/3 of its viewers are in the 18-49 group.

those speeds are not achievable anywhere outside of a perfect test condition lab. With a lot of other wifi radios in the area, you are lucky to get a usable signal at all.
Hi, European here. Do you want to compare access to broadband in ANY of our countries to the US so I can have a laugh?
Thanks for the idea. I will look into that.
Is that actually the case? The cell services I know of have very low caps, one or two orders of magnitude higher cost and suffer congestion problems.

Super fun diagrams. I interned at LLNL at one point and did a little work with some Sankey variants visualizing energy and resource flows in urban environments[1]. I think I still have the code lying around somewhere, I'd love to return to it someday.

People at the lab who were aware of them were uniformly pretty proud of those main energy figures. I had multiple old hands approach me at the poster presentation who were really enamored of the design, one fellow actually said he thought it was the best figure the lab produced. Of course, I was a pretty dumb grad student and wasn't totally sure what I was doing, so mine don't have the polish of the official ones. They were fun to work on though.

This is not about government enforcing privacy on the internet. That is false analogy, but even if it were good analogy, it would still fail. Do you want government enforcing your personal security (also known as policing)? Would it not be better if guys who are richer and can afford more bullies, intimidate you and ask for money while you are trying to walk by their house/business etc?

Net neutrality is about each ISP, carrier etc treating each packet flowing through the network equally and not discriminating between its origin or destination.

If net neutrality is gone, ISPs and back bone operators can start asking for money for packets routed though their network based on who the packet is going to. You want to watch Youtube? Well, your ISP thinks its unfair that you are using the internet connection you paid for already to do that, they would rather you watch their own service. So, they throttle your connection to youtube, and ask money from both you and Google, to make it fast again.

The danger here is that Internet will be turned exactly what cable TV is now.

And if you do want physical world analogy, this is a better one: Imagine that starting next Monday the Yellow Cab Company begins charging all business to which a fare is delivered, since it is unreasonable for businesses to receive the benefit of customers and employees arriving at their sites in a safe and timely manner and for them to pay nothing. After all Yellow Cab Company spends time, gas, and quite frankly, expects them to pay their fair share of the fare. They may also begin billing all businesses passed on the way to a destination, as these business receive "free marketing".

If presumably technical people visiting this site have such a hard problem with net neutrality, I'd say the battle to keep internet free is lost.
no worries, I've got some more info. on that on my blog https://raesene.github.io/blog/2017/05/01/Kubernetes-Securit... which may be of use.
The demo https://www.mapd.com/demos/tweetmap/ is pretty laggy, I think you should probably make it more performant so people don't think it's the DB that is causing the problem.
It's pretty plausible. We don't have price transparency or price competition; generally when a doctor asks a patient to get an expensive test, if insurance covers it and it's not inconvenient, the patient will get it. So, if there are more places to get expensive tests, that's competition, but also is likely to lead to more expensive tests being done.

This raises the question of efficacy of the tests for patients who wouldn't have had the test done when there was less access. If spending more for the tests improves health outcomes, that's valuable, and if it saves money on treatment that's even better.
Should also consider cost of healthcare.

Health insurance and healthcare in some areas, specifically rural or remote, is extremely expensive and noncompetitive. Just like ISPs, some areas just have ONE insurer!

Ironically, the whole point of the 'fountain of eternal youth' stories is that people wasted their entire lives looking for it rather than enjoying life / what they were given.

Age extension technology is going to be the doom of humanity as we know it. Death right now is the only equalizer we have to our own destructive and damaging tendencies to the planet and ourselves at large. Living longer just means more waste, more war, more inequality, all the behest of the richest who get access to life extension technologies first. Don't kid yourself.
The issue I take with Net Neutrality is that regulation is just a likely to enshrine the existing players so firmly no one can break in because regulation protects it.

Net Neutrality is not a magic cure all and it isn't neutral when only one side has to change. both providers of bandwidth and providers of services would need to adhere to specific rules for it to not stagnate and recreate AT&T/etc we suffered through in the early days (remember Long Distance where it was all protected ... yeah, no thank you
Where energy generation is tied to some evil (ie c02 emmissions) then any energy not harvested, or lost in transit to users, is waste regardless of the financials. Even where no alternative exists, the waste lable is appropriate as a description of an area ripe for innovation and improvement.

>Newspapers do vary the number of pages on a daily basis

That have quotas that they fill day-in, day-out, and they add some additional pages based on special occasions (elections, some huge crime, attack, holidays, and such). But they will never give you e.g. a 12 page newspaper even if there is nothing happening. They'll use any BS story to fill pages.

95% of tech? I agree that we already have monopolies, but I vehemently disagree on net neutrality being one of the causes. In a system without net neutrality, the already established companies or monopolies would gain even more power than they have right now.
Where I live now, I have two ISP choices. There's no actual evidence of collusion, but their prices are high, eerily similar, and far different from their prices in higher-competition markets.

Where I lived before this, I had one ISP choice. And the local government had given them a legal monopoly, so the free market was incapable of offering me an alternative.

Even if the market arguments are sound in theory, net neutrality is happening in the world we actually have. That's a world where ISP competition is somewhere between "scarce" and "illegal".
They didn't. Aerocapture has only ever been done on Earth.
>All they'd do is offer other services as alternatives to the big dollar ones like YouTube.

And they'd put data caps on competiting services, while allowing unlimited streaming of their own (we've already seen them do this).

In markets with 1 or 2 viable ISPs, what is your solution?
" If FB was required to make a deal with every ISP in the US, do you think they would have been able to grow"

It would be much more difficult obviously. But it would also have been much more difficult for myspace in the first place and if they got too big the the gov't could easily split them up. There might be many such companies providing facebook-like services in such a scenario. Maybe not, but its not something I've heard anyone discuss.

"I don't see how this is the fault of net neutrality. In fact, it's completely unrelated"

I don't know if that's a fact. If ISPs could charge for particular services, consumers might be more aware that in order to get a certain service like translation or search or ordering a pizza they need to pay some % per month for it making them more apt to purchase other services. Again I don't know if this would be the case but its something I'd like to see someone look into.

"It's easier to do that than it is to make a deal with every ISP in the US".

Why would I necessarily need to make a deal with every ISP. For most products I think you probably don't really care or need to be everywhere in the USA especially when starting out.
"Linux is still a hobby OS. It's not a particularly wonderful example of software engineering. Its only real benefit is that it's free and comes with an ecosystem of other free software that kind of mostly works as long as you don't mind the occasional security horror, and can be used as-is or customised at relatively low cost."

That is complete nonsense. Linux, particularly Red Hat Enterprise Linux is as serious of a server OS as exists in the world today. Companies like IBM and Oracle would never embrace a "hobby" OS in an enterprise setting.

As for "occasional security horrors", sadly there is no OS of any flavor that is immune.

"So what business problem does RISC-V solve?"

For one thing, RISC-V offers the promise of fully open computer systems, without opaque black boxes anywhere providing potential back doors or other problems. The Intel AMT vulnerability is an excellent example of how that can go very wrong:

https://www.ssh.com/vulnerability/intel-amt/

RISC-V also provides a playground for smaller entities (like university labs) wishing to experiment with innovative new hardware techniques like Unums. That's very valuable in its own right.

I'll bet you're just thinking of the box-step (the super basic step where you basically walk in a box shape).

If I'm not misremembering my lessons--to do some of the turns properly, the woman has to be essentially straddling the man's upper leg. It was a pain to do some of those with partners who weren't comfortable with that kind of contact.
I like how you say "massive monopolies" then list 5 companies (all competition one way or another) and an etc. That sounds like a healthy market.

Also in what world does giving ISPs complete control of which services can even function on the internet help the "little guy"? You'll just replace the relatively healthy tech market with a 0 innovation series of walled gardens managed by each megacorp ISP-MediaCompany union.
I think it depends on the kind of code. If it's some random experiement done in private away from work for personal exploration then I'd be sort okay to see such demeaning comments in the name of free speech. Professional Work is a no-no.
living here in Atlanta and this is the first time I have ever read about this place. so I got something to drive towards one weekend; about thirty miles in my case.

"Take away death and what do you get?"

Nobody has any idea, because it's never been done. There's no support for your claims that life's amazing-ness comes from impending death. Meanwhile there's a lot of support for the claim that death causes a lot of suffering.

In any case, an actually infinite life is not possible as far as anyone knows. You'll eventually die when the universe undergoes heat death or the Big Crunch. Is living a mere ~10^34 years sufficient to remove the enjoyment of life?
Contrary to what the article claims ("Transportation is a huge, looming, and almost entirely unsolved climate problem") transportation can be a solved problem. If you notice one of the graphs while transportation is the top emitter hasn't increased much since 2005 and it is very sensitive to oil prices.

Carbon taxes or excise taxes on fuel are the solution. They are endorsed by most economists (often in addition to emissions trading). Taxes must be imposed on emitting greenhouse gasses or at least on purchasing fuels; in addition a cap must be placed on the total amount of emissions.

If you are libertarian and you feel like there are too many taxes already - the carbon tax can either substitute other taxes or the revenue from it can be returned to tax-payers in some form.

Vox itself recently had an article about carbon taxes in California, it includes a part where the collected revenue is then redistributed back to citizens:

Warning: this is about American pizza. This is an American cooking site. This guy is not Italian.

In Rome and Naples, they think of pizza in a very different way. The dough is more pliable, soft and slightly thicker. They also do care a lot more about quality, origin and freshness of toppings than the obsessive and meticulous dough preparation and baking. Charred bottoms in pizza is not a common thing in Italy.

In São Paulo, Brazil (another Italian emigrants outpost) the dough is like in Italy but the emphasis is in diversity and amount of toppings.

I wonder what pizza is like in other parts of the world.
It's a thought experiment, so no.

Generally, when something is cited as being a hard problem in a scientific field in which you are not an expert, you can be pretty certain that the first "pretty obvious" thought that comes into your head isn't a shining light into a sea of intellectual darkness but is instead drive-by layman speculation that is almost definitely entirely wrong.

If you want to be incredibly vain, sure.

You clearly haven't hit 50 yet. Many mornings when I wake up my back is so stiff I can barely stand. A bit of yoga stretching has me operational again, but too much stress through the day can make my knee pretty sore, too.

So no, it's not all about vanity.

>you cannot acquire a corpus of decades of historical searches and click data nor can you employ the thousands of human raters

No, but as soon as Google starts abusing their monopoly status by turning into something reminiscent of Alta Vista, a new search engine will sprout up.

Google itself grew like wildfire in the late 90s not only because it offered superior search results, but because of the massive global reach it had, thanks to net neutrality! If the net wasn't neutral back then, AOL search would still rule the net.
Counter example from Denmark, a European country: two weeks ago my son had a rash (no other symptoms), preventing me from dropping him off at daycare. I called the doctor at 8.30 a.m., had an appointment at the FREE doctor at 11. Problem solved in less than three hours.
Phenomenal pictures!

The article makes the point that we could save a lot of energy by designing less wasteful systems. Does anyone know of general numbers on the practical efficiency of particular energy generation mechanisms as well as the consuming apps? It's obviously a lot less than the thermodynamic limits. David MacKay's wonderful 'Without Hot Air' [1] has some numbers but it's hard to relate them directly to the LLNL diagrams.

Based on my experiences as an American living in Europe, the premise of this is entirely wrong. At least in some cases- I'm a freelancer without kids living in Germany. For someone who is employed, older, has kids, or lives in a different country, the calculation may be different. But overall, Europe isn't the healthcare utopia people make it out to be.

The cost of living in Europe is significantly lower than the US, not higher as the article suggests. Housing, food, everything. Overall I can live on much much less money than I did in the US. This may vary from city to city, but I think in many places in Europe this is true.

But health care is much more expensive in Europe. For me, part of this is due to being a freelancer- the public system is unaffordable for me because I would have to pay double, and pay double with my income calculated at a higher rate than I actually make. The private system is similarly expensive. It costs far more than health insurance in the US would for me. But in general, health insurance is not cheap.

Insurance also includes far less here than in the US. It doesn't include even basic preventative care when you are under a certain age. It also doesn't include stuff like birth control or STD tests. And even for things it covers, it's difficult to get any reimbursement at all from private health insurance. I've also found the medical system in Germany to be atrocious when you actually go to see a doctor. If you end up in the emergency room, you can get good care. But doctors seem to just wait until it gets that bad before doing much and often spout nearly-superstitious nonsense to justify not providing medical care. Maybe they just do this to me because I'm an immigrant though- possible Germans get better care.

As a result, I only have cheap, crappy insurance here. It's currently cheaper and more effective for me to have decent insurance in the US, and fly home whenever I need to go to the doctor. The US medical system under the ACA is amazing, better than nearly all Americans realize.

Someone whom has read and UNDERSTANDS the Net Neutrality legislation AND code of regulation, please comment. If you have only stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, please restrain yourself :-)

Having been a user of the Internet prior to the birth of the HTTP standard, I find these arguments spurious, straw men, and red herrings. But, I am open (probably more open, than my progressive peers) to being better informed. So please help... and don't flame. Advance ideas.

"Net neutrality is fundamental to free speech. Without net neutrality, big companies could censor your voice and make it harder to speak up online. Net neutrality has been called the “First Amendment of the Internet.”"

Help me to understand how freedom of speech was attenuated, prior to Net Neutral, or how was it ACTUALLY threatened? Why couldn't I have published my own blog or editorial site, now or in the future?

"Net neutrality is fundamental to competition. Without net neutrality, big Internet service providers can choose which services and content load quickly, and which move at a glacial pace. That means the big guys can afford to buy their way in, while the little guys are muscled out."

Why wouldn't other Internet services step into the void, to fulfill a demand? Perfect example: As in China, the Great Firewall has caused a boom in VPN / tunneling technology, to fulfill a consumer demand for government-free access to information.

"Net neutrality is fundamental to innovation. Without net neutrality, creators and entrepreneurs could struggle to reach new users. Investment in new ideas would dry up, and the Internet would start to look more and more like cable TV: so many channels, but with nothing on."

Any honest person would refute the assertion that "investment in innovation would dry up." There will always be wild-cat investors seeking huge multiple returns and willing to dump stupid cash on a bunch of white dudes in hoodies.

However, I would stipulate that large corps like Fakebook would be better able to absord the risk of innovation, ergo innovations may be captive to large companies... and that would stink for eager entrepreneurs.

I do, however, think that revenue-sharing concepts that include the transmission companies, modeled after the cable monopolies of olde (cable cutting is killing that model) could be a suitable alternative to todays two-tier model (transmission vs. content).

"Net neutrality is fundamental to user choice. Without net neutrality, ISPs could decide you’ve watched too many cat videos in one day, and throttle your Internet speeds — leaving you behind on the latest Maru memes."

This is true, I have no argument for this... ala AT&T "unlimited bandwidth" (small print) until you get to 20GB and then we will throttle your device until it is essentially useless, as a smart device :-( (BTW, kiss my @$$ AT&T for that).
Welcome to the Bay Area. I've made the conscious decision that I'm not willing to pack my family into a 1000 sq.ft. shoebox, which is all that's affordable anywhere near employers, so commute it will be.

It should definitely use facial recognition to ensure no one uses more than their daily allowance of sodium.
That second sentence really doesn't follow the first.
Can you explain why you think that? I would imagine using two rather popular systems in a somewhat common combination would be a boon to maintainability and set up, if at least for the large pool of developers and online resources already available for it.

But then again, I could be super mistaken. I'm interested in seeing another side of it.
