I upvoted this vapid opinion because I think it needs to be addressed rather than censored by lazy thinkers.

Making the Internet more expensive today so we can accommodate high traffic use is a smart long term strategy.

The first incentive ISPs should have is to be able to provide a high level of service for bandwidth demanding applications.

Over time these costs will drop as the bandwidth naturally expands because networking technology is subject to similar price/performance trends we see with transistors.

Here's the point: At some future point in time, torrent and video traffic will be negligible faction of the total amount of bandwidth available.

It's better we get there sooner rather than later, right?

So what do you think is the fastest way to get there? Do you want to incentive the mono/duopoly ISPs to nickle and dime over limited service, or do you want to incentive them to compete with each other to provide the best service that connects everybody to the whole internet?

We're going to get to the point where bandwidth is incredibly cheap and available soon enough. The question is are you really going to give up a common carrier network because you falsely believe it's going to get you here marginally faster?

If you believe that, you have no sense of history of the telecommunications industry. They've already pulled the "let me abuse my monopoly status and I'll give you better service" scam time and time again.
Who do you think actually puts the food you eat on the table? Will you eat your self-driving cars?

> It is well known and readily verifiable that net neutrality as defined by the previous FCC rules and as defined by the EFF allows for providers to charge more for people using more data. So no net neutrality would not require anyone to subsidize heavy data users.

You're being patronizing. Why do you assume that the OP is referencing this point in his "diversity of opinion" quote? A charitable interpretation would be "the subject of whether or not NN is a social good is a subjective matter, and we need more diversity of opinion on this topic".
How often is this pursued by original owners and accepted by the prospective new owners?
Different types of food require different handling, etc. The grocery store is not a dumb pipe for food. It's a distributor. For products that dont require special handling (eg, refrigeration), a food shipping company is a more accurate analogy. They should not be charging by much other than volume/weight.

> No it's not. Postgres barely has decent replication as is.

You're overly negative whenever postgres comes up on HN. Obviously the v10 stuff is not multi-master and the project definitely is not claiming it has, but saying that Postgres' replication "barely has decent replication as is" is a bit absurd given that it works quite well in a lot of high-throughput scenarios in a lot of companies, and has so for 5+ years. There's a lot of valid complaints about it you can make (especially around flexibility and operational issues), but it's definitely not just "barely decent".

I'm not saying that you have to be fan. It's fine to say the replication isn't good enough for everything, or just ignore postgres.

> but nowhere near what it takes for multi-master replication.

FWIW, there's async MM built on top of the relevant pieces, and it's used in production. It's not ready for wide audiences, but arguably (and I think one can very validly disagree about that) it's closer than "nowhere near".

This doesn't make much sense to put in the view. The view is the state and the data that is not visual or the representations of the visual (checkbox :checked = 1 otherwise 0 in the model) isn't solved by this. You have now just made the whole view more complicated. Your webservices (or equivalent datasource layer) should have these guarantees about service availability and data formats checked by both sides. I don't understand how this is an innovation, since checking the contextual data representation in multiple layers does nothing to address the complexity. Also, testing is increased by spreading it over development time, to solve message format issues...leaving the sinister reality that models are often either mistranslated to/from visual elements or there are business logic conditions that are unaccounted for. Complex systems are named such, when you cannot remember every single control in every state. That only takes a few weeks of coding to achieve.

A few months ago I created/worked on a project that involved separating PNaCl (the portable native client) from the Chromium project, rewriting parts of it for use as a generic
JIT compiler, and building a small PoC distro around it where all of userspace were PNaCl binaries except for the loader/JIT (which was a regular old architecture-specific ELF that existed read-only in memory and loaded by a slightly-patched Linux kernel) Only PNaCl executables were allowed to run in userspace, which allowed for secure execution of user binaries thanks to the sandboxing features of the modified portable native client. However, another benefit of the PNaCl is that binaries are compiled to a performant architecture-agnostic IL (similar to LLVM's IL) and then quickly finalized by the PNaCl loader into a regular architecture-specific binary and loaded into secure memory when they are started.

This meant, in a nutshell, I could have a completely architecture-agnostic root filesystem, with the only architecture-specific binaries being the kernel and PNaCl runtime, which sat in the initial ramdisk.
Huh, I feel like this story (and even moreso the comments on this post) are good reminders not to shop at Wal-Mart, at least for me.

Net Neutrality doesn't say ISPs can't charge customers for data usage. Which is what my answer would be: charge customers for data usage.

Some ISPs do this if you go beyond a certain amount per month. But if a tiny portion of users are hogging a massive amount of bandwidth (as is oftentimes claimed), it seems like an ISP could make a killing by offering cheaper bandwidth but charging for data usage, which would drive these high bandwidth users to other ISPs, which means you can provide your remaining users on average better bandwidth for a lower price.

This is pretty much what I was looking for 5 months ago.

It is an ETH coin. Read more carefully. The whole benefit of ETH over BTC is that you can build coins inside of ETH.

In this case it is basically just a colored coin, the point of which is for the people who hold them to be able make stakes on their long term performance (hence plain ETH would not be useful).

It's a common refrain from some types of libertarians. The basic logic is that all laws are morally equivalent to holding a gun to someone's head, therefore it's immoral to pass laws regarding anything that's not worth killing over.

But the person who makes the decision as to what ends up in the pipe (i.e. the end user, Netflix doesn't just spam people's routers) is the one who is already paying. Netflix isn't crowding anyone out (especially if they have a server within the ISP's perimeter), every bit of that bandwidth is requested by a user. Users crowding each other out is already handled by prioritizing based on how much they pay.

Mass of food is a false equivalence; cost of food per kg varies widely based on food, but cost of transmission of bulk traffic (the only kind ISPs are proposing to charge the entity on the other side of the connection for) is largely identical to the ISP. The cost may vary depending on where it comes from (network wise, not precisely geographically), but ISPs are already able to deal with that by having different sized links to other ISPs.
That's sort of what happened with the DAO scandal. As I understand it[1], some Ethereum company screwed up something they wrote on the platform, which allowed an attacker to exploit it and suck out a lot of money, so some influential players convinced the entire network (minus some splinter faction) to retroactively void the attack and restore the funds to the company it was stolen from.

Do you consider your position so weak that it can't withstand a debate?

I've phrased this bluntly for effect. If you say an idea is mistaken, then you've said the worst thing you can say about it. Censoring it only pushes inquisitive minds further into their camp.

If HN has become a place where mistaken ideas are no longer tolerated (in the sense that you can't lay out your reasoning without being attacked) then we've all lost something valuable.

I don't think we're anywhere near that point yet -- in this case, the downvotes were due to the flimsy nature of the comment -- but it's worth watching for.
You say "I think ads should [be] embedded directly in the content .... That's all they ever should have been allowed to do" you seem to be saying "only first party [direct sold, advertisiing brand buys space from publisher and gives publisher an image or video to embed] ads, and no third party tracking or ads". Do I understand you correctly?

The problem is most publishers do not have scale, and (flip side of same coin), together they are too numerous, for publishers to do direct sales to brands of all or even their best ad space (inventory). They must use third parties.

Advertisers, too, want to "buy audience" across many sites, which means tracking in the current ecosystem.

Thus, today, in any of the top browsers that lack ad and tracker blocking, your machine is already deeply involved in "the logistics of getting ads". Almost all ads, even direct sold ones, place via script on page interacting with the main ad server scripts (Google Doubleclick For Publishers [DFP]).

You can't have it both ways: either you need an active user agent that blocks third party cookies and scripts, as Brave and a few others do; or you will have ad logistics running amok on your device, in your browser or webview (which is why we get a 3-7x speed win on Android vs. Chrome). The only path forward is to break the web by blocking third party scripts and trackers. Wishing for publishers to do direct ads as if pasting up ad art on paper won't work.
It's not. And, if it were, that has no bearing on whether we should.

I'm sure you had it worse, but public schools in non poor areas are pretty shitty too, unless you are in honors/ap courses.

And this problem with our schools existed long before trump, and not to sound conspiritorial, but the both GOP and neoliberals like Hillary both seem to have interests in keeping public schools underperforming.

And it isn't a funding problem, either. We spend more per capita on education than most, if not all, other countries.

> so you have merely increased the population.

And often they're in they're twenties, meaning society didn't have to pay for the expensive first two decades of growing up. Basically a live is 8 decades, 4 decades of which are unproductive, and 4 decades are productive. If you get an immigrant, you get a 6 decades person that's unproductive for only 2 decades -- and some other society paid for those 2 other unproductive decades.
I chose to read this author as someone who very much believes in the black-and-white lines of the letter of the law. He's an interesting guy, for better or for worse.

The free market determined that that was the fair price for government policies to be bent towards industries' or actor's will. You'll forgive people critiquing the economic system if it freely and naturally leads to the ills we find objectionable.

And on the contrary, I absolutely do hold the failure of the Soviet system against central planning and command economies, even socialist ones. Given that, I find democratically-executed socialism using markets for prices (some consider this market socialism) much preferable.
