IANAL but isn't it already the case that if you knowingly break a law, you can be convicted and sentenced to jail? In this case, I'm assuming that it's not against the law to cover up a hacking incident, in which case there's no basis to suggest putting someone in jail.
Well, they have a phone number here, and I suppose you could directly email Ajit Pai.

No. There's actually a very healthy cargo rail system and relatively little trucking is truly long haul.
Perhaps we should just ask for clarification on what the person said at the dinner table before engaging in this sort of speculation.

Been researching it for a while now. It isn't feasible yet. The best output I've seen is a thousand pounds of hauling on an electric truck. Which is about 200 pounds less than the most efficient truck camper I can find. Thats enough data to extrapolate to most forms of living such as this.
PPP is a horrible measure when many things actually cost more in china than they do in the states. Ya, if all you are concerned with is food and services, $100 in china is greater than $100 in the USA. But if you want to buy a house? A nice Honda? A pair of Levi jeans? Those are all 2-3X or even more.

Chinese go abroad to shop for good reasons.
Yes. All elected politicians monitor public input on major issues.

It usually goes something like this:

1) Comcast lobbyist: Hey politican, we'll donate 10k to your campaign this year, and another 100k+ if it becomes a tight race, just promise you'll vote against net neutrality if that ever happens, ok?

1a) Comcast, that's a deal.

2) Office Aid: Hey politican, after the FCC announced today, our phones are ringing off the hooks. People are really upset about this Net Neutrality thing.

2a) Okay, poll our constituents, and figure out just how many votes I'll lose if I vote for this thing.

3) If the number of votes > than the amount of votes the politican thinks (s)he can buy via the lobbyist's money, they change their position.

So your letters greatly affect step 2. Of course, its less cut and dry than above. Democratic politicans by and large believe in NN. Republican politicans these days rarely do. And polls are expensive and slow, so sometimes step 2a is skipped entirely and the politican makes a gut call based on the amount of feedback they receive.

But the point it, yes, your letters matter.
DRM is a restricting technology that is self perpetuating. Even if the copyright rights of a DRM content fall into public domain you can still be punished for trying to bypass DRM. Isn't that hypocritical ?
It's a lot easier to write Ruby. For lots of things Ruby also had much more mature libraries. Of course there are other benefits to writing everything in Rust as well. Everything is a trade off. It's quite disappointing . I would have liked free lunch...
> The FTC won't stop ISPs from slowing access to content they don't own. ISPs are communications services and rightly monitored by the Federal Communications Commission.

ISPs are communications services just like trucks are communications services because they carry mail and shipments. No. The internet is far more complicated than postage, and the FCC is not equipped to handle it.

> China most definitely does not. Even if they did, it'd be unenforced. State-run tech services would get preferential treatment. Actually, that's how it works now.

So you realize that a good name doesn't make a good policy. That's a good step.

> I don't think the above commenter was claiming NN is a solution to censorship, rather that without it, content is more silo-ed and access becomes more difficult, adding to the censorship problem. Censorship is a human problem that tech can help with.

You aren't going to lose access to your favorite polemic website or torrenting because of NN or lack-thereof. That would be immediately met by FTC lawsuits. Far more critical to censorship is YouTube demonetization and SEO shinanigans, but I don't see the front-page of reddit giving a damn about subreddits being blocked from the "Hot" feed.

They will try to prevent it by passing a fake NN law through the Congress, that will "put discussion to an end", and will make future fixes even harder.
The net neutrality laws prohibit anti-competitive blocking and "throttling" of Internet services or discriminating by protocol, ip-adress, application, etc.

What should be outside net neutrality laws are protocols that leave the customer and applications in control. There is nothing wrong with using Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP), DSCP and IPv6 flow labels to get QoS that differ from the dumb pipe. Many future applications require it.

- Online games might want to request low lag.

- Streaming services might want constant bandwidth with less strict lag requirements.

- File downloads might be OK with bursts and pauses as long as the best effort throughput is good.

- Safety-critical applications like, robot cars, remote surgery or emergency messaging, need guarantees that discriminate against other uses.

The silliest part of this is that Google phones specifically do not have removable storage so you're forced to use a cloud service, most likely Google's, for extra storage. Before the removal of the headphone jack this was one of my main reasons for avoiding the Nexus/Pixel line.

It's called shaping and you easily pay 2x the price to avoid it. Everyone above the poverty line pays.
The enforcement actions taken against the carriers in the early 2000s only went through because they wanted to avoid an explicit legal ruling against them. Thus NN has implicitly existed since the beginning of the Internet.
Wow, nice work! Please circle back here and let me know once it is officially in the store, would love to check it out and spread the word!

Honestly, this is the sort of thing that once Amazon adds a Whole Foods API for ordering, you could add an unobtrusive "order these ingredients for pickup at Whole Foods" link or something at the bottom and hopefully make some commission off of it.

Ping me when it's built and I'll help you promote it if you're interested (I'm a marketer).
I don't understand how you read my comment, and came to the exact opposite conclusion to what I was saying.

What I literally just said was that we have had NN for the last 20 years. The exact legal definition for how the FCC enforces NN changed 2 years ago, but the fact that they continued enforcing NN did not.

If Ajit Pai gets his way with this vote, the FCC will no longer be allowed to enforce NN. This would be the first time in 20 years that the FCC would not be able to enforce NN, which has never happened before.
I don't think that many people actually do hold this belief. That's why someone had to make a bot to create the illusion.
That's good fat though..
Thank you for the correction.

Monopoly cases are extremely difficult to prove and rarely brought, regardless of which party is in power. With ISPs, if consumers can choose Verizon or Comcast, neither is a monopoly but both could still be acting against competitors (or simply people who didn't pay their extortion) to the detriment of their customers.
It might be argued that EU countries can tolerate austerity-imposed economic slowdown because of the stronger safety net. The big question is, is lower GDP growth better for the biggest issue, global warming? On one hand it makes people more focused on short term self-interest, but on the other hand slowdown makes it easier to hit CO2 emission targets.
I'm guessing you're not very old. Interleaf on an original MC68000 Sun workstation. The Symbolics Genera IDE. Pretty much every app on an Amiga or Mac II circa 1990. Most of these apps were more responsive and more capable than Electron with single cores and 1/1000 the resources. Making clickable animated widgets on a windowed screen that tightly integrate with the OS doesn't (or shouldn't) take much software. But we seem to have forgotten that.
Just listened to interview on All About Android and their explanation sounded plausible that it was done wrong and they will delete any collected data.

"One note on removing pre-installed apps: Don't do this if you need to free up some storage space on your iPhone or iPad.

Untrue, if you reinstall them they will be redownloaded from the App Store. So it’s likely they’re actually deleted.

Not only that, but I'm seeing a lot of people mentioning VPNs as a solution when they're really not. Sure VPNs obfuscate your destination, but not the fact that you're connecting to a VPN, and without net neutrality, what's stopping them from seriously deteriorating the quality of VPN traffic unless the VPNs cough up some dough?

Yes, it would be a shame if some of these city leaders' houses were destroyed without compensation by the local police following false claims about intruders inside.
> It is asking whether paid prioritization should be allowed.

Yes, but they're assuming that some payment is already the norm when it is not. It's like the punchline to the apocryphal story that goes like, "Madam, we've already determined you're a whore, now we're just dickering over the price."

The subject at hand has nothing to do with how much companies pay their own ISPs, of course they pay more for using more. This is about whether those companies should also have to pay my ISP if I want to access their content without that content being treated unequally by my ISP.

I think that explains what the programmers who wrote Cortana were thinking. The reasoning must have been as follows:

- The user types 'upd' and pauses. The most likely thing the user wants is Windows Update, so show that.

- The user continues typing (typed 'upda' so far). The user doesn't want Windows Update otherwise they would have picked it earlier. So show Java's updater.

- The user keeps typing (typed 'updat' so far). Well the user didn't select Windows Update or Java's updater, so who knows what they want. Don't show anything until we get more letters.

The logic works unless you're dealing with human beings who don't pause and pick the one correct action at every point.

Sorry, I missed this comment when I brought the issue up below. (I was on my phone, which is sort of an excuse...)

With a thread-local RNG (and a thread-local page which gets zeroed on fork) it sounds like you're probably best off extracting data from the RNG and then checking the flag to see if you need to go back and try again. The only cost of doing it this way is a very marginal extra cost whenever you need to regenerate entropy -- but you can think of that as just being a slight increase in the cost of the fork.

The only other question which comes to mind is whether you need to worry about breakage on systems which have weaker-than-x86 cache coherency. I'm 99% certain that you're fine, but I'd prefer to be 100% certain.

I assume you'd like to see this functionality added to other platforms as well?
Think about this:

- A CS student graduates around age 24.

- A physician finishes their formation around age 30 or more.

How is this important?

- 6+ more years of substantial pay / debt

- No real salaries for 6+ years

- Around 6+ years of fewer professional experience as your target occupation.

By the time the physician is done with all the preparation, the CS student may be already a senior engineer and may have vested stock options.

If we add up those things, we could say that's equivalent to not having a salary for like 10 years, relative to the CS guy.

What is the incentive for going through all that? higher pay.
The FCC is absolutely equipped to regulate the internet (or, interstate communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable).

Believe it or not, that's exactly its congressional mandate!
Ask HN: What would happen to TOR if net neutrality disappeard?

Would the ISPs just charge a ridiculous rate for TOR bandwidth and effectively block it altogether?

"Of all countries on planet earth, it's frankly nothing less than comedy that we're seeing 'this eu realpolitik is unfair!' arguments from the UK. "

Nobody is claiming 'unfair' - we're pointing out that the EU is not this bullst idea of 'Europeans coming together in solidarity' it's just a selfish entity, mostly for the benefit of the elites.

And by the way - it's not 'realpolitik' - it's stupid-politik - because 'punishing' leavers may create some kind of barrier to others thinking about it - but in reality - it exposes the schizophrenia if the EU for what it is.

A 'strong' EU is what others want to join.

Only weak and inauthentic entities like the Soviet Union and the EU need to 'punish' people for daring to leave.

Can you think of other movements that punish people for leaving? China? Cuba? Soviets? North Korea?

The EU and UK should seek a 'good deal' with one another. The EU is afraid of falling apart and is seeking vengeance.

The EU is fundamentally broken and were it to have developed a degree of self awareness, would have remedied the issues and there would be no 'right wing movement' in the EU - it would not have had a chance to exist.

"Whether you allow or disallow migrations, allow or disallow free trade, things have changed and they'll never be the same again. "

Nobody is denying this reality.

"disallow free trade"

The UK wants free trade with the EU, it is the EU which is denying the situation.

As far as migration - the UK accepts considerably more migrants only only from EU countries - but also from non EU countries than effectively any nation in the EU.
Good thing we have elections and laws and if the bad behavior you predict happens (which I doubt) we can fix the situation.

There's a problem with that idea, which is that then the internet is at the mercy of those in congress who want to shut down the government all the time, because they won't pass a budget unless we go on a governmental starvation diet, while at the same time giving tax breaks to the rich.
I just like working in terminal. Some things I can do faster in mitmproxy (filtering with lots of constraints, shooting response or request data to a pipe). It has a mutt like interface so if mutt seems fast and intuitive then mitmproxy will feel similar. I have spent a lot of years thrashing around in the Burp GUI and mostly I don't need all the features all the time :)

Things that are a few clicks in Burp are a few terse keystrokes or key presses in mitmproxy. IDK, give it a shot and see if it makes sense . Most of our team just sticks with Burp FWIW.

This already happened. Comcast was injecting forged RST packets into BitTorrent connections - and after lying about it for a while they were stopped by the FCC, who cited network neutrality rules in their decision.

here's another fiction book for you: The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. a professional torturer is exiled for showing mercy to a client. what it's really about is love, self, and how self relates to other. if you'd think this covers the whole spectrum of what it means to be human, you wouldn't be far off.

i have read and re-read this book in great lengths of leisure, frequently leaving my paperback copies with friends wherever i travel before finding another in some dusty second-hand store. i have grown up with its main character, Severian, and can no longer tell you how much of me is him. my ethics, my perspectives, how i ruminate and how i love someone can all find some trace of impression in this masterwork.
> NN is a joke of a solution that doesn't even cover anything more than the FTC already covers.

The FTC covers nothing in this domain, and there is recent appellate case law which suggests that they could not act in it without significant change to the statutes governing their authority.
I'm struggling to find it now, but there's a saying attributed to some well known military figure (paraphrasing slightly):

EDIT:

Found it. A Ernest Fitzgerald, and Fitzgerald's First Law: "There are only two phases of a program. The first is 'It's too early to tell.' The second: 'It's too late to stop.'
Wrong. Net neutrality proponents have been advocating for the FCC's pro-NN actions long before 2015, the problem was courts kept shooting them down because they said (probably correctly) that they didn't use their authority the right way.
