The thing is, skilled smart people who don't mind spend their time fixing bugs and working on old codebase exist. Especially if the company allows them to have work life balance so that they can have hobbies or spend time with families and what not.

The problem is that a programmer described above would not be hired by your company and simultaneously wont recognize your company as a good place for him from job posting. Even admitting that you dont mind fixing bugs is other peoples code might make you sound as lesser programmer in current culture.

Otherwise said, there is mismatch between what companies need and what they reward.
Evaluation of Distributed Deep Learning Frameworks on GPUs
Is it time to go full decentralized peer-to-peer wireless mesh yet? I know it would be slow, but that's par for the course in most of the US anyway.

Routing would be painful, but something like IPFS would encourage peers to cache content in order to ensure faster access to the content they want.

It could be done if only the barrier to entry for normal folks was lower. I'm thinking a dedicated piece of hardware in a form-factor like the Google Home where the setup would be as simple as plugging it in to the wall.

Servers would still be in datacenters, but the ISPs don't get to play price and speed games with their connections.
Repealing net neutrality would only make sense if the layer underneath (the PHY consisting of fiber/copper/coax/wireless/whatever infrastucture including last-mile connections between every node) were subject to net neutrality instead [1], such that "anyone" could start an ISP that offers differentiated services on top of the same infra. Of course, today the last-mile infra and the ISP on top are tightly coupled, and many states have enacted laws and regulations that restrict or forbid municipalities' efforts to build out a neutral infra [2].

I find it absurd that some politicians support both the repeal of net neutrality and the restricting of willing communities to build out their own infra at the same time. I could intellectually entertain either option but never both simultaneously. For a political cohort whose brand has long included local self-determination and rural self-reliance, it's bizarre to me to see them take positions that don't even appear to be logically consistent. It's difficult to accept that they truly have the best interest of their constituents in mind.

In the US ISPs have local monopolies / duopolies. They can litterally throttle what every they want without worrying about their customers.

You need regulation in markets like.
> "Although the data sent to Google is encrypted, it could potentially be sent to a third party if the phone had been compromised with spyware or other methods of hacking. Each phone has a unique ID number, with which the location data can be associated."

If the phone is compromised, it doesn't matter what google has access to, the tracking kit can just enable it's own tracking and spoof the system status (depending on the level of the compromise)

If you have a concern about your phone tracking you, don't bring your phone with you.
"...'selfish routing' approach has a price of anarchy that’s a mere 4/3. That is, a free-for-all is only 33% worse than perfect top-down coordination." - Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions

So in effect these messages would only arrive 33% faster. Not to mention the cost of having to monitor traffic and the additional charge to do so on the consumer in comparison to the "anarchic" TCP model we have now.

The last time we bad this conversation when Verizon first sued for the rules to be dropped. Level 3 showed that the apparent need to create these fast lanes were due to an artificial bottleneck created by isps to throttle Netflix. When the new rules passed, the version that went in still allowed for these fast lanes to be created, but only through the supervision of the chairman. Whichb was a win for isms, despite the internet community cheering.

Also included I the original title 2 is that you would not have a data cap and yo u would be charged for the internet you use versus a bulk sum every month. Articles around this time showed that after subsidies and tax credits to build infrastructure. It took TWC only a $1.24 to supply a custoomer internet access in which they charged $49.99. This included all operating costs.
I had the opposite experience, though this was before Coinbase created/supported recovery codes for 2fa. My phone with the 2fa app bricked and it was a painless, one-message exchange with Support to work around it, completed in < 1 business day.
Net Neutrality doesn't prevent QoS related management, but it does prevent per site throttling.

My ISP doesn't have a right to throttle streaming video content because they want to sell me a $90 cable package.
HTML5 is not xml-based, and does not require or use xml namespaces anywhere, I think?

But I think you're reading more into what I said than what was meant.
That's not always the case. My daughter's going on 6, and she actively enables my being a night person.

But it's worked out perfectly in my case. My daughter is definitely a morning person and enjoys having some alone time. About two years ago, she realized that the better she is the less reason I have to get up and the longer she gets some alone time. I prep breakfast the night before so she can get it without help in the morning, then she lets the dog out, turns on music or an audiobook with the Echo and gets some drawing/crafting in until I wake up. There's also a 50/50 chance that she'll have tidied up my living room and the playroom before I get up, too. Basically anything that would get me out of bed early she started taking care of, as a way to prevent me from having a reason to get up. The only part of the routine I actively created was the breakfast one, because of a few spilt milk jugs in her attempts to make cereal alone.

She's made me quite envious of morning people, actually. Even when I get up with her though, she just makes me a cozy pallet on the couch and insists I lay back down and leave her the hell alone and stay out of her way until at least 10am.
Seriously. Some companies want it both ways- constant access via email/slack/on call rotations, but a strict clock-out time of 5pm? "You aren't a team player."
I got a "Payment failed" error.
Never complaining about my job again.
This sounds like a fundamental misunderstanding of most of the IP stack. The way TCP works is that bandwidth over consumption is signaled by dropping packets. Back in the mid 2000s "deep packet inspection" was the buzzword of the day, but frankly was mostly BS because you can't inspect encrypted traffic. So what happens, is that the traffic shaping is chosen by endpoint/route. Which means that the ISP might prioritize VOIP calls which terminate in their VOIP service, but they likely won't be able to detect my tunneled VOIP packets utilizing a small no name service that charges $2 a month (my ISP wants to charge/bundle the voice service for an additional $15-25/month depending on which "deal" you get).

The problems here come from ISP's that won't upgrade their infrastructure to support the demand, because they are trying to maximize profits, and see advantages to being able to charge/extort fees from actors they think can afford it (netflix for example) or they feel are competing with their own offerings.
Their curious verbiage makes me think it's not USD. They say they have backing "assets" my guess is they mean BTC, which conveniently gives them more "value" the more they print.
My grandpa took a part time job after retiring after 30 years at chevron/ortho. Failed his drug test. Turns out, they lost the sample, and in the testing companies mind, he couldn't be proven to pass, so he failed.
Being upset on the internet is itself a political maneuver that seeks to build support for your cause by spreading outrage. Deciding which links get shared and discussed is likewise a political act.
wishful thinking

also an isotope in the sand would have allowed water to stay flowing at the below freezing temperatures that mars has, so if you were grasping for straws at why there would be water, this would support it, but if you weren't wishing there was water there as the presupposition then this new answer would have been more immediately obvious
>You wouldn't need a net neutrality law if you had competition

I don’t buy this argument because you not only need competition, you need a market with perfect information. Net neutrality buzzes on in the sidelines. I would wager that the majority of customers would not care if their ISP limited certain types of packets and would not attempt to switch ISPs (that is, if they even can switch).
Well, more than 65% of the S&P500's market cap is also owned by foreign investors, including some of the most iconic like Coca Cola. So what? ;)
Just another point of data with compton compositor on Arch with several text editors.

The return delivery costs are as much as the cost of the tools themselves.

I always tell people wanting to do a job themselves that the first time your costs are the same as hiring a pro, but the second time you own the tools and it is just time.
This dispute is way more nuanced than you're presenting. The article you posted picks a winner pretty early on bit actually presents the situation pretty well.

Any company Netflix buys transit from ends up using up all the goodwill of settlement-free peering agreements, doesn't want to actually pay for the traffic, tries to route around problem, and then gets frustrated when Comcast doesn't let them.
The Berenstein Conundrum
Well I have something to share precisely about that.

Was in 2001 prior to 9/11 in south Indiana. I applied to a factory. And another one. And another one. Nothing. No bites. I then found work at a gas station Subway across the first factory. Our primary business were the factories.

9/11 happened. Within days, the factories shut down. We at subway were like "WTF happened?" Cause we were staffed like normal for rush.

Then we talked to one of the workers who stayed - there was a huge implicit threat that INS was going to make nationwide sweeps deporting all illegals. So, they left ahead of time. And "gee golly" the factories were now hiring and one said they had better wages.

Again, its correlation kind of.. Well not really. Supply and demand is a pretty hard rule. And when you have undocumented, working for less than minimum wage, and foregoing regulations on employees, is anyone surprised?

I know I understood the blue collar hatred of illegals. I've been on the receiving end of that. Not that its right, mind you- but understanding others viewpoints is the start of fixing them.

(Fixed spacing, from making comment on phone.)
A huge portion of the country does not have access to multiple ISPs or has access to only 2. Capitalism doesn't work without competition. It's also naive to assume everyone can just afford hiring lawyers.
Harvey Weinstein’s Secret Settlements
People keep mentioning tree-style tab but I don't see how that's an alternative to TMP's multiple tab rows.

Personally I don't find tree-style tabs appealing at all because (1) I usually have few pages open on the same domain, but I have many pages open on different domains. And (2) I don't want a vertical column of content width lost to a sidebar.

Limiting tabs to a single row per window is awful for usability.
Working with 3rd Party APIs in Node/Express
But then they would have to be able to prove that in a court of law.

What people don't understand here is that the principle of fiduciary duty binds the hands of a lot of these companies. If you don't hold the controlling voting interest in the company... you really have very limited room to maneuver legally speaking.

Now if Apple could count on its shareholders not to sue them...

THEN they could operate in the fashion that you postulate.
I agree that it won’t last, but I think exactly the opposite will happen: with wages going up, people will spend more money, which will increase the profits of businesses, who will use the profits to hire more people to keep up with the increased demand.

Retail shelf space is capital. If consumers empty shelves twice as fast, the return on shelf space-capital will double (assuming the markup doesn’t change). It’s not the Fed raising rates, it’s the market over-bidding the Fed.

If the Fed were able to stop these movements, our economy wouldn’t be as bubbly as it is.
I hope those of you against this are also against Google and Apple being allowed to ban apps like Gab from their store.
AFAIU, it's used in the HDCP encryption negotiation.
Fortunately most of the tools you don't use once. The few you do tend to be the types of tools a pro would rent as well.
I've heard this, but I haven't seen recent statements to this point. In fact, IIRC, they were explicitly questioned by some news outlets with the recent kerfluffel and their responses boiled down to "it will all be OK".

Frankly, given their market positions, Google and Netflix only stand to win with anti-NN.

Google's Public Policy blog [0] seems to back up the no comment stance - their last comment is from 2010, dating back to the orignal implementations. Wired's research [1] appears to back this up as well.

And here's a Verge article on Netflix' opinion [2] that boils down to "it won't matter to us".

Verbatum: Even if the formal framework gets weakened, we don’t see a big risk actualizing, because consumers know they’re entitled to getting all of the web services.

I use a wiki page (in my personal Gitlab space of our company Gitlab instance):

- one wiki page per week

- every Monday, I copy over the wiki page to a new one

- I split sections between time-based, and "priority backlog" vs "low-priority backlog" (stuff that might get done in 2 months).

- I also keep a short list of general reminders at the bottom completely.

- I like using [x] to mark things done. Easy to review at the end of the week. Even sometimes ~~ to strike-trough, for extra satisfaction.

- If I had something not planned, I add it to the list, so that I don't despair at the end of the week, if I didn't do half of the things I should have.

- I pin the tab at the top of my tab list in Firefox, for quick access.

I like using Gitlab's wiki for this, since I can copy-paste the URL to an issue or specific project, and it automatically converts to something nicer. And while I could use the wiki history, instead of a new page, I find it easier to go back in time this way.
It's also a convenient place to put in all the things they don't want to hard wire. Which gets more every day.

Need to maintain crypto keys for SGX enclave memory? Do it in the ME.
Need to do some extra stuff on suspend/resume? Do it in the ME.
Not sure if any other special handling might require updates at a later date? Do it in the ME.

There's no need for nefarious purposes to explain why the ME isn't optional anymore - it's just more convenient.
>if your freezer is blacklisted b/c it wastes 50% more energy than comparable freezers

What if it's not because it wastes more energy? What if it's because it has a certain brand that didn't pay the energy company? If it wastes energy, then they should just charge you 50% more (or whatever their scheme is for the person that uses 50% more energy).
I've noted a few trends in namely in article headlines, and subsequently in commenters: foment being the most notable. It was like the word of the summer, replacing every instance where a more a familiar and easily parsable word would do. Now it's dissipated.

That's just a weak observation, though. It might be interesting to seek data points for the subject.
The problem with a transform like that is that it would also scale line strokes.
Laws don't always motivate action. It seems fine to use a multi-pronged strategy.
A unique error code will accomplish little. It will serve mostly to bewilder and frustrate you after discovering many users can't (or won't) remember so much as two numbers.

What I'm saying is take the unique error code and add an absurd/funny phrase to the number. It's easier for people to remember an odd mental image than it is ERROR CODE -42.
