Death knell for US internet innovation. Other countries with net neutrality might take up the vacuum left by decimated Valley startups. Obviously without the US market accessing your services at full speed you'll not grow as quickly, but the opportunity is there.

In this scenario, is it only competitors of Facebook/Youtube/Netflix that would be slowed down, or would all websites / blogs / other startup sites also slow down?

What I don't understand about NN is how it would be enforced. Would whitelisting services equate to whitelisting ip's? That seems problematic considering how many companies use AWS or another cloud platform as a cdn or server. Wouldn't Amazon, Google, Microsoft be for NN as it would directly affect their cloud services?

Public opinion is shaped a great deal by what and in what way the mass media covers a specific topic. There was a lot of uproar about NSA surveillance while it was in the news, which quickly died down as the headlines disappeared. Out of sight, out of mind.

And then there's also the thing that, arguably, Google and FB give those people something in return which they might consider worthwhile for just data. I'd question that the majority of the user population is aware of the implications of handing over data about themselves and specifically other people, who may or may not be okay with that.

I click on "see how it works" and the information I get is very brief. Did I understand right that the staff will have an app and they will either interactively click or put it into calendar when exactly they are available?

Usually I'm free when my calendar is free (and my colleagues can see that). If I want to block some time for my work or for a meeting that I'm about to attend, then I put it to the calendar. It looks like you do the same, just in a inverted way. Could you please shed some light if there's any added value compared to the traditional outlook/google calendar approach?

Any chance to see some screenshots or a video?

I fail to understand how the content in the Soifer paper (triangles) answers its title question. So yes, some explanation would have been necessary in my opinion.
I wonder how much is this due to how software is being engineered and UI/UX problem?

An example being software updates on phones. When I got my parents their first android phone, the app drawer worked on swiping left/right. Then came the change in orientation where the swipe went to up/down. My parents were confused and routinely called me to ask how to make the phone work.

Just today I had an app which showed different categories on clicking tabs on top changed to swipe up and down with a small button to choose categories at the bottom.

These kind of changes leaves people more confused. They like to stick to older versions and hence left behind on any thing new.

I've stated in the past that I think the market will make the choice to go with ISPs that don't "bundle" sites and NN will win. It was pointed out to me that in many parts of the World there is no competition, and therefore the cheaper "bundle" packages will eventually win out.

It will kill the startup, because you'll need the cash to take on the established players.

It will kill off blogging and independent publishing on the web because most sites will be inaccessible to most consumers.

In short, it will turn the Internet into a closed wall system controlled by those with the money, much like network television is.

FB’s power is not a binary of either “can force” or “can’t force.” But they can offer an amount so high it’s hard to say no, and they can manipulate their users’ attention in ever more complex and subtle ways.

I don’t consider FB a pure evil, just a potential danger. Their moral hazard is comparable to that of a heroin dealer—-they are incentivized to get you using the product as much as possible, regardless of the possibility that more than a small amount could be harmful.

That's the primary reason it's taken so long, as far as I understand. It's not that it was hard to find the location, per se, but that the robots didn't last long enough.

The displacement is mostly due to radioactive contamination still being high in several zones around Fukushima.

Fukushima on the other hand is an ongoing disaster producing news from time to time which, naturally, get coverage.

HEY ITS OP HERE:

I don’t see an edit option so I’ll say here. This comment got a lot of attention so I should clarify. Some are saying this should be a huge story, it’s illegal in CA (where this occurred) etc.

I’m not sure how the DoorDash app works from the Dasher’s perspective, so I was taking her word that the tip was $6. Also I was incorrect on my tip amount - it was 20% which was $14.21 (the order was $92.00 including fees and tip). She did show me an amount under $10 ($6 or $7?) as her pay for this task. She did have to wait for a while at the restaurant because their food was not ready in time, and I was under the impression that the figure she showed me was her total compensation for the delivery. If she in fact received my $14 after as some are suggesting that would be an improvement. She said she was somewhat new to DoorDash so there could have been a misunderstanding, but she was under the impression they had been stiffing her on previous nights as well, so I’m not sure it’s a simple case of her not knowing she would be tipped more later.

Is anyone else here a Dasher who would be willing to confirm tip amounts with some customers? You do enter the tip in to the app before finalizing the order, so they will know.
LFSRs are an interesting topic since they see so much use in hardware testing, scrambling, and orthogonal coding. Typically they are used as MLS-Maximum Length Sequences. These sequences and the generating polynomials were (I think?) shown to be related groups by Galois. Look for Golomb and Rice coding if you're interested in this math.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_length_sequence

It's a bit odd that they only show the Galois generation method in this blog and not the more commonly used Fibonacci feedback method which takes the current state and generate the next bit each clock (rather than modifying multiple bits each shift).

Note that Gold and Kasami codes are related to MLS... and if you recognize those names from NASA, it's because they developed those high auto-correlation codes for GPS and interplanetary communication.
The reason why I have doubts is that Intel has proven to be a rather weak competitor in anything other than multi- (but not many-) core x86. And their haphazard software strategy seems to be a major factor here. Especially the way Larrabee/Xeon Phi has gone so far, their push for OpenCL is IMO too little too late. Instead, OpenMP was promoted, with the vectorization basically brushed off as the magic the compiler will do for you... well it won't, and if it doesn't, you have no way to compete against Nvidia GPUs. Time will show whether they've now recognised this and work together with AMD in an effective way, but yeah...
I'm at the end of cookie clicker and I honestly don't see any interesting progressions forward. I just got 350 chancemakers so now I'm just creating spreadsheets to try to time the "get xxx777777 levels on ascension".

But actually this is a feature and not a bug since I actually appreciate the sense of "I'm done for now" that lets me pause gameplay for a couple of months and wait for a new tier building or something else. I think a more polished clicker game sounds rather scary given my player profile since I could easily see myself get totally absorbed. So CH2 being $30 is good news for me personally since that guarantees I wont get caught. =)

Most of the comments here reference the fact that her skill is self evident. He could easily have felt threatened by her technical skill, and the fact he couldn’t plainly see it as other commenters did adds credence to his own deficit of technical ability.

The fact that he maintained a sustained slander campaign when he ostensibly had other priorities implies he felt that ‘exposing’ her became important to him, again a trait of insecure, low status individuals.
I think it just boils down to American voters either having lower standards or not being willing to punish politicians for incompetence.

If the subway service in, say, London or Tokyo or Paris became as bad as some of the systems in the US, it would be a major political scandal and the people running the city would fear for their jobs. That doesn't happen in the US, even in places like New York where a majority of commuters use public transit regularly.

Interviews go both ways. If everyone was unpleasant, then it might be representative of the culture there and you may have dodged a bullet. If it's just one round or one person souring the experience, let the recruiter know. Companies that care about their culture or image will take the feedback to heart.

If I remember correctly, London Underground was similarly run down in the 1980s, which is one of the reasons it was renationalized. This is also debated for commuter trains now: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/oct/11/trains...
We nearly have that in Germany at the mobile data level. Just this WE, I was walking in the street and a big offer from Vodafone targeting youths was special contracts with "Pass", one was unlimited WhatsApp data[0]. They are not limiting to WhatsApp (Telegram is in it), but I suppose in the future they can easily make a deal with WhatsApp and offer only unlimited for WhatsApp and then the new comers are automatically out of the game.

Short answer: look at Portugal but worse.

In most countries, it wouldn't matter too much as the market forces could in effect nearly cause them to self-regulate.

That said the current state of the internet in the USA is a different story. Regions are locked in with legislation making micro monopolies, This is especially true with apartment complexes. There are laws that prevent competition. local governments have won and lost elections based around the issue of allowing for more competition with the current ISP's. Meanwhile, some of the smallest towns feel almost forced into needing to create their own, as they aren't receiving proper coverage from the larger companies, not in cell towers or landlines.

There have already been examples of sites being throttled to be nearly useless, and some sites blocked, other sites are intentionally sped up to be misleading(speedtest.net vs fast.com - they don't match up because speedtest is usually boosted to mislead how fast your internet is).

Cell providers have done things like block payment apps, instead only supporting a proprietary payment app which I believe is a great example of how competition can and would be stifled.

I believe I heard that for a time the ISP's slowed down Netflix until Netflix paid them off.

So to conclude, it would be the slow erosion of freedom of speech, a swift decline in innovation, prices for services like Netflix would rise, and if we are lucky they would only nickel and dime us more (think microtransactions) instead of blocking out entire chunks of the internet. The USA would lose its dominance technologically, investment in internet companies would slow, the best minds would hesitate to move here, ones we already have would think about leaving, Europe and Canada would have a chance to shine.

The only good that would come from it is large ISP's make more money, and Republicans would feel like they have a win.

smh. So, that's how some get rich.

Charge higher price, but pay workers less.

Switch to cheaper ingredients with lower price, but pass only a small portion of the saving to the customers.
ISP's would first gouge companies for money, only larger competitors that are already established like Youtube or Netflix would be able to pay it. Also, companies owned by the ISP like Hulu would probably be exempt from the gouging.
The thing is though, RS was never just about the music. In the late 60s/early 70s, music and politics were both huge topics for youth culture, and RS covered both.

Right, but I don’t think 100/mo is quite what is considered a whale.

Just as in casino gambling, where I believe the term came from, a whale is someone who throws a few hundred to several thousand into a game in a month, possibly in a large number of smaller transactions so they don’t even realize their running total. It’s the people for whom the “10’000 rubies for 49.99” in-app currency chests are meant for.

Ask HN: How do I know I'm ready to be a full time developer?
I graduated in CS in 2008 but all my jobs have been Sales Engineer roles so far, one of which was a long-term role at a top 5 global travel site.

I code every day on my own side projects as well as building multiple internal tools that have been used by numerous staff, and external clients.

I've comfortable in Python, PHP, MySQL, HTML/CSS and JS but how do I know I'm ready to take the step up to be a full-time dev?

What does "sell your personal data" mean? Facebook (and Google) doesn't do that - it's much more profitable to keep it guarded so you can charge for services based on it (like ads) again and again.

So what specifically would that regulation say?

Those things are related. If you are more conservative and sort of feel that male should be primary breadwinner and women should be more of caregiver, then the relative preferences follow logically. It does not need to be expressed political opinion or judgement about other people, it is enough when dude feels bad if he is not competitive at work and she feels like bad mother compared to other mothers.

Add to it an 80 hours a week expected working schedule for professionals that makes it impossible to spend much time together and any other choice don't even make sense.

For anything else, there needs to be real relationship and time spent together etc. Which is something I don't see these articles talk about at all - they treat marriage/relationship as a technical thing that people just suddenly do without really needing to work on or spend time on.
Which is why the privately-run US health insurance system is the envy of the world.
