I think a great thing to do (if you are for net neutrality), is pick specific parts of the NPRM filed with this proceeding and comment directly on it[1] to help do some work for the defense. I feel sorry for anyone who might actually need to address this document point for point to defend net neutrality.

I tried my hand at the general claim of regulatory uncertainty hurting business, then Paragraphs 45 and 47:

-> It is worth noting that by bringing this into the spotlight again the NPRM is guilty of iginiting the same regulatory uncertainty it repeatedly claims has hurt its investments.

-> Paragraph 45 devotes 124 words (94% of the paragraph), gives 3 sources (75% of the references in this paragraph) and a number of figures (100% of explicitly hand-picked data) making the claim Title II regulation has suppressed investment. It then ends with 8 words and 1 reference vaguely stating "Other interested parties have come to different conclusions." Given the NPRM's insistence on both detail and clarity, this is absolutely unacceptable.

-> There are also a number of extremely misleading and insubstantiated arguments throughout. Reference 114 in Paragraph 47, for example, is actually a hapzard mishmash of 3 references with clearly hand-picked data from somewhat disjointed sources and analyses. Then the next two references [115, 116] in the same paragraph, point to letters sent to the FCC over 2 years ago from small ISP providers before regulations were classified as Title II. Despite discussing the fears raised in these letters, the NRPM provides little data on whether these fears were actually borne out. In fact, one of the providers explicitly mentioned in reference 115, Cedar Falls Utilities, have not in any way been subject to these regulations (they have less than 100,000 customers ... in fact the population of Cedar Falls isn't even 1/2 of the 100,000 customer exemption the FCC has provided!). This is obviously faked concern for the small ISP businesses and again, given the NPRM's insistence on both detail and clarity, this is absolutely unacceptable.

[1] makes a great point on specifically addressing what's being brought up in the NPRM:

Not OP but in a similar situation. Believe me, I'm trying to. Unfortunately companies in my area are not too happy about remote work, and I don't feel ready yet to risk going full freelance (though I'm actively working on changing that).
Mutilation has a clear meaning in the dictionary and its application here is perfectly fine.
So if a girl gets FGM and doesnt cry its ok? Are you insane? So if one is induced with anesthesia and they cut your arm off its ok then? MGM = FGM, and you denied a child a choice when there was no immediate danger. I wish I had the choice. I had the cahones to let me son remain un-mutilated and if he dislikes it so much he can lop it off. Think for yourself. Question authority.
I don't think we want to use Russia or the Ukraine as examples of Bastions of free speech... for obvious reasons.
I'm struggling to see where in the wall of text this notion is supported.

This smells of mental gymnastics.

I'm a huge fan of python (though I much prefer twisted to aio), but slower callbacks are unequivocally worse than faster ones, all other things being equal (which of course, they never are).
Well, thank you guys, I appreciate that!

While it falls short of magic, I suspect, obviously, I've had a lot of opportunity to reflect on why and how I screwed up, to go through cycles of blaming myself, blaming others, chalking it up to "shit happens" cosmic randomness, etc., and ultimately to settle on some sort of stable interpretation. I was looking for love in all the wrong places, as the country song goes...
I see this a lot here and if you believe there is basically any market where the simple supply and demand model is relevant you're probably mistaken. The other thing is that this graph:

http://i.investopedia.com/inv/tutorials/site/economics/econo...

is not a free market model! Not at all! It is a "perfectly competitive" model and has several very specific assumptions:

1) All firms sell an identical product

2) All firms are price takers - they cannot control the market price of their product

3) All firms have a relatively small market share

4) Buyers have complete information about the product being sold and the prices charged by each firm

5) The industry is characterized by freedom of entry and exit.

I'm not sure the labor market actually meets any single one of those criteria.

Furthermore, if you are interested in how minimum wage actually effects employment I would check out the following report(here's a good quote).

The employment effect of the minimum wage is one of the most studied topics in all of economics. This report examines the most recent wave of this research – roughly since 2000 – to determine the best current estimates of the impact of increases in the minimum wage on the employment prospects of low-wage workers. The weight of that evidence points to little or no employment response to modest increases in the minimum wage.

It's unfortunate and may be entirely out of their control but I would consider them incompetent for the position and irresponsible to trust them with the responsibility. They shouldn't be holding a position where being able to calculate basic maths is (or should be, in regards to budgets...) necessary any more than a dyslexic should be an editor/spellchecker.

Economic systems and theories are absolutely devised with goals. Entirely agree the economy is nothing but individuals, that's why capitalism is so ingenious, but that doesn't mean the system doesn't have a goal.
Yea, I'll withdraw "inelegant" from my original comment, since I was mostly intending to dispute (concurring with colordrops) the suggestion by Animats that wings are more advanced than capsules. ("It's time to get past capsules".) I wouldn't say the shuttle was a pillar of elegance, but I'm happy to agree that wings can be elegant on the right spacecraft (although, as I alluded to, the intuition that they are less wasteful than consuming fuel can be a bit misleading).

Thanks for your comments.
I mix it up - sometimes CF+WL, other days just CF or WL. Many CF workouts are more of a skill work rather than pure strength work that result in fatigue, I do not overtrain.

Unless steroids, then its no problem i guess.
Right, I think the high deductible plans could work IF we also add national HSA that everyone is eligible for to pay for routine health care costs pre tax.
Wireless isn't a viable option for video streaming, downloading large files, gaming etc...

They all throttle you past 20GB or so, they aren't nearly fast enough, latency is terrible, and they suffer huge congestion problems.

But let's assume you think that wireless is currently good enough to replace cable and DSL for your needs. Switch half of the population over to wireless. I guarantee you it won't be good enough then.

Satisfaction ratings for Comcast are atrocious--if wireless was a viable option, everyone would already be using it at home.
Oh I know the feeling.
I'll just add to this:
- Can I work from home?
- No
- Why?
- Because working from home you might be not as efficient as from office

I didn't say that things are going rather well. I said that the Fed's intervention worked rather well. That's not the same thing.

In particular, compare 2008-2017 to 1929-1938. That gives some (imperfect) measure of how well the Fed intervention worked.
Thank you! Yes, during the effective hours I get in everyday I get more done than on my previous job where I had to do 8 hours.
I can see a fair amount of situations that would be better to have employees on location. That being said I wonder if a part of the "dont work from home" type feelings come from managers/employees who may resent that they have to be on location?

Stopping the Death Spiral of Indecision
I too do not understand how parents can be allowed to force someone into existence without prior approval from said someone.

Their parentland (motherland or fatherland, though I suppose there may be other categories nowadays) should surely not allow them to do so.

Speaking of parentlands, why are they allowed to make major decisions for their childizens on their behalf? Even if some of the childizens approve, surely the others should be free to decide for themselves.

Unfortunately we cannot bring this issue to that parentless entity in charge, who has never had anyone else decide something on its behalf. It may in time decide to look into the matter and inform us of its decision.
You've missed the point of my argument entirely. The FCC was put into place to regulate airwaves, i.e. who can use what airwaves and for what purpose. It didn't take long for them to start regulating the content said airwaves.

My point is that I really don't care what your good intention are, or what you believe the government will limit itself to. That's all nice and sweet, and a great discussion for a 5th grade civics class, but what I'm saying is how long do you think before well intended, someone please think of the children types (or more recently those of the outrage culture spawned from university campuses), will start regulating the content? Once you give them authority to make decisions about how the internet should be regulated, they'll start getting creative. The FCC is a historical example of that, and it's the exact department your handing over the internet to.
And why do you think we're paying so much? Either (a) the insurance companies and health care providers are just price gouging[1], or (b) the people who do pay are having to cover the costs for all those non-payers.

In this case, both problems are essentially the fault of the government. Choice (a) only happens in a system (like we currently have in the US) where the government imposes artificial limits on competition in the healthcare industry. Choice (b) currently happens because the government mandates that healthcare providers give care to non-paying patients, in addition to the government-sponsored entitlement programs (which often pay providers far less than the actual costs require).

[1] If it's just price gouging, then (in a free market) there would be a huge incentive for someone else to enter the market with lower prices; they'd be able to sweep the market overnight - at least until someone else came along to undercut their prices, and we'd all benefit from paying something closer to actual costs. But in the artificially regulated healthcare system of the US, unfortunately this doesn't happen.

> since they believe that this has huge ramifications for their child's life as a Jew, and if you read the Bible you can definitely see why

Is the argument here that if someone happens to believe in a particular practice (that impacts on somebody else's life), it should be completely off-limits and tolerated without question just because it appears in a religious text?

> why right away submit them to permanently changing into a transsexual? Yet the same progressives who argue against circumcision would argue for gender reassignment surgery.

Which "progressives" are arguing for babies to have gender reassignment surgery?
Ask HN: How would the startup world have been without AWS/GCE/Azure?

It's weird how infrequently Agriculture is ever mentioned when talking about CO2 emissions. Transportation is _always_ brought up, but agriculture (which is responsible for significantly more greenhouse gas emissions) is conveniently left out.
Except that you can't change a Macaroon header and convince either the recipient of a token or the server verifying it that it is instead a NIST P-Curve public key attestation, so they're really only similar if you ignore the many problems of JWT.

It's the nature of a grab-bag metastandard that it can be twisted into a poor version of any related standard. That's the problem with standards like these.
Thanks, your answer has shed some light on what would be expected. I am glad that the industry does not base productivity on LOC. I also, now know some red flags.
Transportation waste is the inefficiency of the internal combustion engine.

The presentation isn't "hand wavy", it's just simplified. Most of the confusion in this thread is from users who don't understand relatively simple aspects of how energy is generated and used. Which is fine, but the response to that should be to look something up or ask a question, not attack the graphic.

Just to clarify, fictional representations of this type of work are considered legal in some places (the US and Japan) and totally illegal in others (The UK .. and much of the rest of the world).

But that isn't the question here. The question is, if you setup a Mastodon instance, do you want to be responsible for caching questionable content, not just potentially illegal content, but even political content you don't agree with?

I haven't setup a Mastadon instance yet, but I assume it caches more than what you just visit, unlike ZeroNet? And unlike FreeNet, what you cache isn't encrypted? (With FreeNet, you have no idea what you're serving from the segment of your hard drive you donate to the network).
Well, I work full remotely at a good size company (Elastic) and it works great for us.Our entire company is fully remote.

The secret is that you need to be fully committed to remote. If you do this you force yourself to actually find workflows that work remotely. If you just work two days a week remote you wind up isolated for two days and don't collaborate during that time.

A lot of companies that fail at remote work also fail because they have a mix of office and remote workers. This only works if you force every conversation to happen online. Otherwise you have the inner circle in the office and the outer circle that is remote.

The point is that a lot of remote work failures are simply companies that had remote workers but didn't have a workflow that was amenable to remote work.
I do question the capacity for greed, in the broader sense of, what can happen before a system enters some sort of catastrophic negative feedback? In the immediate term, private debt build-up provokes financial crises. In the long run, there's another balancing factor you're forgetting about: revolution. Workers can safely ("safely") be eviscerated somewhere else, because it's very hard for them to take arms to distant owners. In the countries where the owners themselves live, it's another control system that needs to be threaded.
OSS-Fuzz: Five months later, and rewarding projects
This is true, but US prices are very hard to connect to sane machine costs.

(Expensive machines cost $3 million. Assume operating costs are double that per year and amortize the whole thing in 1 year and you get to $10 million. At the US price of ~$2500, that's 15 uses a day per machine.)
You should add a 'food' category. I didn't easily find one if there is one.
The idea that it has never worked before so it will never work at all has been debunked WRT internet services too many times to count. Mastodon is part of the decentralized social web that doesn't need to profit, nor grow large to provide value to its members.
Where are the customers? I've flipped through a few of the comment pages and didn't see any. I can't believe the diydrones.com interface is still so crappy all these years later! EDIT: I see Kevin Klemens on P3 and indeed he seems happy with the purchase. Congrats to SkyDrone on creating a real thing and selling it!
How would the ISP know what pages you went to over HTTPS? Only the domain name would be available, through SNI/DNS.
You do know that each Wikipedia is community-run right? You'd rather the foundation take away the autonomy of each wiki and force it's own standards? That goes completely against what the project was started for and would quickly alienate the userbase. If you don't believe me, just look at the backlash behind the media viewer (search for "superprotect"), visual editor, and flagged revisions. You cannot dictate rules to a community-established project, each wiki has its own culture and precedents. Sure the foundation could go all dictator, but that would be the fastest way to cause a fork and destroy the goodwill of volunteers. You don't like the community, either whine like you are doing now, or go in there and contribute. You're being no different that someone complaining that their local beach is full of trash while doing nothing to help out, or—if your username has any relevance—someone who wants a feature/bug-fix in an open-source project but won't make any pull requests.
Also missing: the system dynamics paradigm, where boxes are accumulators and arrows are flows. Many packages like this have existed and still exist.

After reading a book on RDBMS design I had a similar idea, but after thinking for a couple of minutes I just could't come up with a use case of a GPU-powered database, it would be significantly slower in most scenarios.
Fair enough, that's a misapprehension on my part then. Plus I guess the form of it I've seen on oulipo.social must be "that bird platform" or something.
