Calling the Netflix CDN boxes "free" is totally misleading because Comcast would still need to pay for the router ports to carry the traffic internally, space & power, and management assistance.

Which is still less than the cost of doing a proper interconnect - they chose instead to let it degrade and play semantic games instead. It also puts the lie to their complaint that it was ever about congestion. The correct response to people requesting a lot of traffic from X is to ensure that traffic is delivered efficiently. That is why their customers pay them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't bad decisions (that is, decisions that didn't turn out optimally, not decisions that look poorly thought out in hindsight) a necessary condition for any person or organization to call for donations?

I suppose the only alternative circumstances are that the site/business/etc just isn't economically viable. I'd assume most would be even less inclined to donate in those instances.
In defense of the Clinton body count thing, I think it would be an assassin's number 1 goal to make an assassination seems like anything but, so it would be reasonable that there would be more reasonable explanations for every incident.

Not saying it happened, or any of those deaths were assassinations, but the nature of the claim makes it perniciously difficult to refute.

You make good points. As you point out, for some people, the gig economy works great, but is not for everyone. To be clear, I'm not advocating for the forceful replacement of the current economy with only the gig economy, but rather I'm suggesting that there are good things about the gig economy, so gigging shouldn't be forcibly repressed. The market should determine how big the gig economy should be.

Imo happiness comes from our beliefs. Beliefs add up to become perspective. Once perspective aligns we garner from it our personal truths. As humans get older we tend to stabilize perspective and truth changes less. This is why suggestions to resolve inner turmoil commonly focus on stabilizing ones belief structure: it makes truths more reliably convincing. Humans find it deeply satisfying to know the truth. Unfortunately, universal truth is elusive and not likely provable so instead the pyramid paradigm we live in says: convince yourself of whatever truth conveniences you the most, and we'll sell you the means to believe it.

Something has put you near the top of the power pyramid for its own reasons. And the whole of global consumerism is here to service your happiness. Consider all that went into the wealth and influence you have as a rich person. Everywhere you go you can buy approximations of happiness, but your beliefs are preventing that from happening. You worked to get your job that provides your high status. Now you have the right to that level of buying power but your beliefs are holding you back from being a successful consumer at your place in the pyramid scheme.
A lot of initial work maybe. I rip all of my movies with MakeMKV to a Plex Media Server running on an old 2009 desktop. The setup can take a while, mostly picking through extras on the disk and naming them properly. But the interface is just as slick as Netflix and they have an app for practically every device. And if you don't care about the extras ripping the movies is essentially just pushing a button on MakeMKV.

If you're looking for a weekend project and have a movie/TV collection I'd highly recommend it. The base software is free and it runs on linux (and Windows/OSX).
Very interesting, particularly where it describes the limitations of what model to choose (theoretical NAND gate vs. two transistors, etc.) and how choosing one impacts the troubleshooting.

Why would an American not get a passport? That doesn't make any sense.

But to your larger point about nations speaking other languages on the doorstep of the U.S. -> keep in mind that "on your doorstep (aside from Mexico and Quebec) means a 6 hour flight to South America. Largely depends on where you are, and you'll see in the American SouthWest they do speak a lot more Spanish, but it's not like in Europe where I can live in Germany, drive to France, circle around through Italy, then through a myriad of other countries (all speaking other languages) in a relatively quick amount of time.

The U.S. is fundamentally different that Europe and I think people should just chill out about the language thing.

They run through a litany of NGO complaints, basically presenting one side of the debate. However, as early as January of 2016, I had addressed many of those complaints elsewhere [1]. By April of 2016, a respected anti-wildlife trafficking NGO even declared that "it would be rash to rule out the possibility that trade in synthetic rhinoceros horn could play a role in future conservation strategies [2]." Things have only improved from there [3]. Yet, "what's controversial" turns into "what's false" on Snopes. After seeing how the sausage is made, there is no way I'll ever trust them.

Because it didn't used to be like this. Healthcare in the US was 5 times cheaper in 1970. The cost has been ballooning up since then and no one can explain why or how to stop it.

We don't necessarily need socialized medicine. If we just went back to the way things were done in 1970 everything would be solved. The money the government currently spends on healthcare subsidies could buy free healthcare for everyone at 1970 prices.

Life expectancy was a bit shorter in 1970, but not by that much. And most of the increase is due to other factors than healthcare (e.g. the smoking rate has dropped a lot, cars are much safer, air pollution is reduced, etc.) And there have been studies done that show increased spending on health care doesn't really correlate with increased life expectancy.

Speaking from recent experience, on Obamacare:

1. Live with pain for 6 months because you know you're not getting out of a specialist's office for less than $750.

2. Cave in when the pain becomes unbearable and see a specialist.

3. Make an appointment for PT with a provider who doesn't take insurance at all, because the transparent pricing means no surprises.

4. Pay out of pocket for PT appointments.

5. Spend the next 4 months getting bills for your one specialist visit. Half of these are coded wrong so insurance won't pay. Spend 2h every week on the phone trying to get it sorted out.

If you talk to whoever does the specialist's billing at any point, you'll find that they're totally unable to estimate the cost of services. You might as well not even try to figure out how much it costs in advance.

Serious question: why not? Why would it be a less reliable method than partnering with famously unreliable media companies?

There's nothing wrong with subscription models, I don't see why donations are meaningfully different.
They don't. HTTPS doesn't hide who the connection is to. How would a network route packets if it didn't know the recipient?

Once they know you're connected to Youtube, they just limit the bandwidth on that connection. The Youtube video player will detect this and automatically downgrade to a lower quality until it finds one that fits within the bandwidth profile. Netflix does the same thing, which is why after buffering sometimes the video looks like crap and then gets better after 15 seconds or so. It buffered a lower quality until it figured out it could send higher quality again.

EDIT: I should add, this is why VPNs are sometimes used as a "solution" to such bandwidth shaping. You are hiding the true recipient by purposefully man-in-the-middling the connection with a peer you (hopefully) trust. VPNs are also popular for connecting with business networks, so it's generally not "safe" for the ISP to shape bandwidth to any VPN as aggressively.

Sure, we need to be careful to protect against false memory. We know how harmful that's been.

Listening and reasoning with them and not taking drastic action, such as having them committed asap was what lead to the full break from reality. For several months my family listened to stories of unjust childhood and traumas, bullying etc. We all knew about those events, but none of them were that dramatic, they were mostly minor stuff, somebody saying something bad or maybe a childhood fight. And then the icing on the cake, two or three months convincing us they were trans-gender. Which included buying new clothes, transforming their look and even talking about surgery. This experience convinces me only that if someone has these kind of issues, you should not hear them out or try to understand, but other type of help is needed. If we acted in time, a lot of of what happened afterward could have been avoided. Being soft and understanding helps no one. And I really regret that me and other family members didn't know enough about mental illness at the time.

Btw. their previous diagnosis was borderline disorder, which is why they have a skewed perception of them vs world, nobody understands, everybody is against them etc. Now it seems they are also possibly bipolar or schizoaffective. Really difficult to deal with.
Those numbers aren't even close to accurate. A fully loaded nexus 9508 (assuming the 10Gbe ports you listed) is ~300k LIST. I'd be shocked if a company that orders as much as Verizon does would pay even half of that.

As for the "distance" - they are sitting next to each other in a data-center. The distance is likely measured in tens of feet and the cost is likely a fixed cost of a couple hundred dollars. The optics on either end if they aren't close enough for twinax would add a couple more grand.

It's also ridiculous to use 36 months as your payoff date, they are running equipment a heck of a lot longer than that. The line cards and supervisor modules might get swapped out, but I'm willing to bet Verizon keeps their chassis level switches for 7-10 years on average.

So now you're at about 4$ per user to support Netflix traffic.

I am now furious thinking about our lovely medical system, along with the FDA.
Hold on a second. Your reasoning has some issues:

1) The peering happens in Internet exchanges, there's no way a peering connection in an Internet Exchange costs 1000$, your range is simply ridiculous. Usually, it is fixed cost 1K or less depending on the locations of the router

2) Yes, you have to pay for bandwidth between the Exchange and your users. But guess what? That's what your users are paying for.

3) Not everyone stream movie in 4K at the same time. So you could optimize your bandwidth usage out of the exchanges. It is called "multiplexing".

Yes, the rest of the chain could be expensive, but that's what your clients are paying for. Net neutrality is about transparency. I have no problem in understanding that my 40$ connection will perform differently than an 80$ one. But you should compete in giving me the best service (where best is best for me, not universally) at the lowest price point in a way I could easily compare prices.

The problem, with my statement, is that implies Broadband Internet is a commoditized service. And that is all the battle about Net Neutrality, ISP doesn't want to act like commodities, they don't want to be your P&G or your ConEd. They don't have the structure to compete and instead of changing for the new market structure, they are fighting back. What they are doing is rent seeking. Good for them, bad for the economy...
The distinction between fundamental particles and composite particles is more a statement about the extent of human knowledge rather than anything physical about those particles. That is, saying "this is a fundamental particle" tells you that we haven't discovered any constituent parts to it, not that there aren't any. Protons used to be fundamental particles until we discovered they were made of quarks, and quarks may yet turn out to be composite particles built from preons.

So yes, if you were attracted to this article because you thought they found a new fundamental particle, then it was clickbait. But the real point is that it's a Majorana fermion (with well-defined momentum eigenstates, a scattering matrix, etc.).

It's possible in the future that we discover neutrinos are Majorana fermions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_beta_decay#Neutrinoless...

at which time they will be "fundamental Majorana fermions"... and then discover after that the neutrinos are just composite particles.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1510.07988

(There are some subtleties here. Some quasi-particles don't have all the properties we normally associate with fundamental particles. And there are weak theoretical arguments that some fundamental particles can't be composite unless their constituents have properties that are subjectively inelegant.)
