Of course Congress knew about the internet. The whole purpose of the act was to create a new regulatory regime for internet services that wouldn't suffer from the legacy of Ma Bell, but also wouldn't allow telecom companies to rebrand traditional phone service in such a way as to escape longstanding access and service requirements. Hence the information/telecommunications distinction.

Facebook doesn't provide an information service, it's an endpoint of one.

Agreed. I need to switch from react-router. I think they are now making major changes for no good reason.
No its not. And those countries HAD those problems, and SOLVED them by going up the wealth ladder and building institutions.

THere is NO short cut to institutions and habit building.

You could build a million toilets, and people still wouldn't use it in India, because the older institutions and habits are stronger.

In the same way, just having a magical tech bullet is a favorite fantasy of people who haven't seen the cross of human institutions and actual human behavior.

Aadhar is already shown to not work on its promised targets, but has of course been expanded to do everything from book tickets, to get phones.

I assumed your self-centred argument (your freedom, your needs…) stemmed from an oversight. I assumed you didn't know, or consider, the effect you have on others by using Facebook (specifically, giving up information about them, and strengthening the network effects that sometimes force people to use Facebook even if they don't want to).

But now you're telling me you're aware of these issues… I don't want to assume, but you sure look like an egotistical bastard at this point. Or a cynic. I'm not sure which is worse.

That's ridiculous. What if the person isn't nice? What if you didn't have your phone with you in the first place? Or it got damaged or lost? How did this even work before mobile phones that stored contact lists, which really isn't that long ago?

What should any of that matter as to whether you get justice or not?

I swear, with this stuff, the plea bargaining, juries, "expensive lawyers", sometimes I get the idea that the US justice system is designed to provide plot devices for TV series of police/justice procedurals, and everything else is an afterthought. How often do people say, after dealing with police/justice, "I felt like I was in a bad movie"?
Thanks for digging this up. I should have guessed it was McGee who figured this out. He's an amazing scientist (and cook).
I think they meant "lighter integration" - you need less tooling to get going. Bad for performance, but good for dipping your toes in.

But that is important to note - it's not the most performance way to do it.

Aadhar is definitionally dystopian.

In case people are unaware

> No fundamental right to privacy to citizens: Centre tells SC

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/No-fundamental-righ...

thats from 2015.

Aadhar has regularly been pushed in violation of SC verdicts for ever.

Until 2016, and the enshrinment of the 2016 act, it wasn't even with parliamentary backing - AND it was still pushed.

At every level, aadhar has been abused and misused, publicly and on record.

It is dystopian

Sure, they are, but they're sums, not products. Go's failure to acknowledge this leads to infecting every type with the Billion-Dollar Mistake in an effort to encode sums as products (and loses out on compiler checking of it, in the process). The syntactic aspect of exceptions is nice, but can be handled without compiler magic if you have nice syntax for monads in general.
Thanks Reddit guys. I hope engineer of Youtube will post similar article. Still curious how Youtube count.
That sounds reasonable. Knowing what you are versus trying to rationalize away the behavior might very well foster different environments. Interesting thought.
How do you hold your book, in landscape or portrait mode? Pages in almost all scripts are traditionally always in portrait orientation.
Yes, all true.

But with Twisted, and now with async def, it is straight-forward to write performant cooperative multitasking code. For some definition of "straight forward" -- I have been doing coopertive real time code since before Python existed, so I've learned to think that way. But it really is worth the effort to climb the learning curve on Twisted, and it really does make cooperative tasking painless.

The problem with the GIL and Python semantics is that collections imply a zillion fine-grained locks everywhere. The time spent aquiring/releasing locks, surprisingly, is not the issue. It is that every lock requires that every CPU cache has to sync on the lock. All that locking makes the process cache-invalidate bound.

The definition of an information service is

(41) INFORMATION SERVICE- The term `information service'
means the offering of a capability for generating, acquiring,
storing, transforming, processing, retrieving, utilizing, or
making available information via telecommunications, and
includes electronic publishing, but does not include any use of
any such capability for the management, control, or operation
of a telecommunications system or the management of a
telecommunications service.

Facebook stores, transforms, and makes available information, so it's an information service.
The answer is yes

After the change in 2016, aadhar no longer gives only a confirmation/negation, it also provides demographic information aka full name, and address + a few more features.

Surnames are highly distinctive especially when combined with address data, so yes Aadhar now will provide you with enough information to assess caste.

Furthermore - since when do mobs and angry people worry about 100% accuracy. In the throes of emotion, close enough is good enough.

I walk/drive/bike in a city. I'm wondering if we'll ever get to fully autonomous.

The thing is I'm often looking at other drivers and when driving pedestrians look at me. You can send them across a crosswalk you are stopped at in a car with a wave or a tilt of your head. You can tell that person isn't going to cross the street and is waiting for a ride because they are looking at their phone and then cars. Sometimes pedestrians wave me though when I'm in my car.
I had a situation where an adult waved me across at an intersection but her kids kept going. I stopped, kids stopped after mom told them to and we were back to square one of our intersection dance. Things that sensors are going to have a hard time doing.

I think we'll get driver assisted as sensors can look 360 and further ahead. highways and less dense areas seem ideal for self driving.
It can play a role, especially when cars "come out of nowhere."
Even with good communication that remained true until very recently: read the debates on the constitutional roots of the US patent system and it was an explicit "bribe" that you received a government-guaranteed monopoly in exchange for explaining how to make your invention. Otherwise the information could easily be lost. Obviously that's not how the system works today

I keep hearing the phrase "evade regulations" with regards to Airbnb, Uber, et al.

Why not "increase efficiency", "increase consumer choice", "reduce prices", or something more positive? As a user of both services (on both sides for Airbnb) I've been quite happy.

"Evade regulations" - let's have some context here people. Think about all the ridiculous things that used to be illegal due to regulations. And all the things that currently are, and are hampering small businesses [0].

We should aim to reduce regulations on transactions between private parties, especially when these transactions leave both parties better off.

You are missing the details here. OP is suggesting that they get an Uber/Lyft driver then instead of paying through the app, pay with cash. Same driver, just no insurance.
Do you go and look through the commenter's history for every comment you read?
There's a reason for reading text in columns – it's just easier!

Everything from newspapers to books do it.

And it's quite interesting to try layout a text width wise. Just paste some long text into an html-page or text editor and then go full screen width. I find it almost impossible to keep track of where I'm looking. I'm much slower reading like that.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_even_wrong.
I mostly browse in portrait, unless the page has a weird layout; and I hardly ever see people browsing in landscape mode, but this is of course all anecdotal.
the hearsay is that if you used only components that are available for both, it'd take very little extra boiler plate to get it working on both native and web. But all non-trivial apps have their own components and that's what makes native difficult.

The testcase is 100 threads sending 1000 messages in to each other in a ring. On a 8-core Mac Jython and IronPython performs better than on 1-core, but Python 2.7 performs so badly that it never finishes.

The ideal scenario is probably that the CPython interpreter starts one thread per core running as many coroutines in parallel as possible, but that looks like a long way away for Python

> we'd have 200 going to the same site every day, presumably to communicate with each other in secret.

If all communications were end-to-end encrypted, it wouldn't even look suspicious.

> how difficult would it be to social engineer oneself into a group of 200 people? Not very, and once inside one has most of the access one needs already because otherwise where is the utility?

Consider the costs and the scale. Unencrypted conversations can be archived and indexed at negligible cost. This is what enables mass surveillance. Social engineering however requires that an agent spends time on it. This is expensive, and thus only enables targeted surveillance.

No, it is not. Logic of any kind is a step-by-step process of induction, based on a valid premises in each step (just one false premise is enough to refute the whole thing, and it must always be verified) while all the premises must be traced (validated) back to one of the fundamental laws of the universe, to what is. Otherwise it is just a form of bullshit.

Socrates is mortal not because he is a man, but because biology is bound by physics of this universe (in which compound structures are impermanent and what we call energy is eternal, being transformed from one form into another) and because a man is a biological process, he is impermanent or mortal. (Ancient Buddhists got it right, by the way).

Logic is possible because the given Universe has a certain stable (eternal) properties, so processes and structures are possible. Abstract logic is a bullshit (hello, Hegelians!).

Mathematical logic works because each one inductive step rests on the valid premises due to the fact that numbers as an abstraction capture a valid aspect of reality revealed to an observer. But it cannot be applied to anything but numbers. Different types of premises and inductions are required for different domains (while the process is fundamentally the same).

The sun will rise in the sky tomorrow not because of some probabilistic inference but because such a physical process cannot be quickly changed. Causes are always real (physical), not imaginary (mathematical).

I bet most people are unaware how expensive card shufflers are $20,000 US is typical. But really leasing shufflers is far more common.

One company, Shufflemaster (SHFL), had a monopoly on the market. But Bally bought SHFL and then Scientific Games bought Bally.

I've heard the patent (or whatever it is) SHFL has expires very soon. There may be a rush of new companies trying to get in on this expensive market.

Other ridiculously expensive casino equipment is a small mirror/prism. It's affixed to a card table in front of the dealer. Two cards are inserted face down but the prism reflect back the card number and suit so the dealer can see it. This small simple thing is only leased costing $100 per table per month.

This may be a misconception - a decrease in the rewards paid to miners wouldn't obviously be "made up for" by an increase in transaction fees. The fee is basically a bid to be included in the next 1MB block, so it should be a pure product of transaction volume (and, of course, the BTC/USD exchange rate by extension). However, I agree that both the transaction volume and the exchange rate are likely to continue increasing.

But, if I'm missing something, it would be interesting to know!

Wow, thanks for posting that, it is really nifty. And makes it much easier to confirm what I already figured for a while: OSM being open really helps in adding a ton of interesting details which matter to me, whereas the bigger map players are overwhelmingly undetailed in areas which aren't considered important enough (at leat I assume that is the reason). Like the small village where I live: OSM has even the smallest footpaths, even going so far as including an official one which doesn't really exist because it is currently part of privatly owned land, it is apty labelled 'old footpath xx' so one can see the new route is now 'footpath xx'.

>Easy manipulation of "docile" public is an inseparable part of democracy, actually. Most people have little to no political education, not to mention the understanding of methods and processes.

They don't need to. Democracy, as defined by the ancient Athenians, is not about "political education" or understanding of fancy "methods and processes".

It's also not about what's "best" (always defined by some narrow "experts" or partial interests). It's about representing the will and interests of the majority, good or bad.

Distracting the people with with "pan and circuses" is not part of the democracy (and of course at this point Rome wasn't a democracy, not even a republic).

If the person isn't nice you are SOL. I got arrested once during a commute for an unpaid parking ticket from college, cue cop placing cuffs on me tightly, slamming me against the squad car, searching the vehicle, then hauling me off to county for booking. They refused to let me look up numbers on my phone and I was left to call my parents 3 hours away to come pay the cash only bond.

It was a pretty eye opening experience. Especially on the arresting officer's part because they get no clue as to why they are arresting you beyond "FAILURE TO APPEAR" that shows on their screen, so they assume the worst.
