>How can so many of those who are usually anti-regulatory "free market" extremists also be so strongly in favor of this regulation?

Because in the US, network providers (at least the last mile providers; those charging end consumers) are local monopolies. Most people in the US have one legit high speed internet option, a few have two. There is little competition and the barriers to entry for new comers is very high (cost of obtaining easements and running cable to every house). In situations like this, monopolies are to be regulated.
Well, true. It can be challenging to install some distros, especially if the default configuration doesn't give you a working network interface. And while it can be solved, it's by no means a desirable first Linux experience.

It's a still primarily an American thing, however a lot of (mostly) online retailers such as amazon have started to have "Black Friday Sales", "Cyber Monday Week", etc.

I'm not sure how it is in the US but at least in Germany the offers and deals are pretty bad and/or not interesting - especially on amazon.
Seems like they’re dreaming if they expect someone to buy an $1000+ laptop from a company they’ve never heard of.
It has become a big thing in Brazil as well
> Since Netflix, Amazon,

The thing is, that if that would happen, a lot of people who got onto Netflix/Amazon for streaming content because it's a good convenience/price ratio, will simply revert to illegal downloads from local servers if the prices go up much. I recommended Netflix to people here in my poor farmer village and they got off it again and went back to illegal download simply because they did not want to pay the same price Americans pay while getting much less (quality) content.
Happy to hear workers are standing up for themselves. The anti-union FUD campaign in the US has contributed significantly to the erosion of middle class wages over the past 50 years (check out Thomas Piketty's work if you're curious about this).
American things become global things when they're marketed heavily enough. This is the kind of thing people mean when they say "cultural hegemony".
They had me until the part where they complained about using old versions excel. Then upgrade it, and while you are at it upgrade your windows XP machines too. Why are these companies complaining about using old software when they are the ones who are always last to upgrade?
It's slowly spreading globally, like Halloween. Some stores are doing it in Japan now, and Amazon is doing "Cyber Monday".
A bunch of companies are desperately trying to make it a thing here in Denmark, as well. By the looks of it, they jack up their prices slightly about a month in advance, and then offer crappy 20-30% "rebates" on Black Friday.

It is simply not worth it.
> prepackaged crap has been the norm for so long

> if you're poor, it's difficult to eat this way, though.

And it is difficult for some poor people to eat this way because their cultural poverty exacerbates or even causes their financial poverty. Their parents (if they were lucky enough to have two) didn't teach them to prepare basic meals, sharpen a knife, or care for a frying pan. Each of these skills is a barrier to entry, and they add up quickly for basic meals.

It's not the only major barrier, but I think that we have really pulled the rug out from the poorest by exchanging cultural norms for convenience and a net rise in costs.
Turns out that power output is one of the most important measures for a battery.

On some applications it's even more relevant than capacity. (If you have an internal combustion car, take a look at its battery, odds are power is written in way larger letters than capacity.)
Fiat currency is competing very well in a category I really care about: “things which have existed for more than 15 years and which I can expect to still be around 15 years from now”.

Sure, fiat currencies can hyperinflate with less than 15 years’ notice, but 15 years from now I expect most fiat currencies will be similarly valued and most cryptocurrencies to be as gone and forgotten as a geocities homepage.

He tried kickstarter, reached $310, and then turned to the flat-earthers. Their GoFundMe uses the terms "awareness" and "sponsorship". His stated goals (headlining the kickstarter) are to become famous, and set a world record, and the GoFundMe makes no claims other than what size their logo will be.

The last paragraph of the GoFundMe promises the story is going to be run by the AP. For the flat-earthers, this is the actual goal of the rocket - to get the story into the press. And it worked. $8k bought them nationwide coverage.

Teachers in Chicago and fast-food workers comes to mind -- in the last 5-10 years.
It seems that the only unions with enough clout to strike are public workers. I've seen teachers strike or threaten to strike from to time. In the private sector, the potential win isn't worth the risk, since long term benefits are mostly off the table already.

To me, the interesting part is the "why?" with an implied "do you think the system won't fall over?" In the real world, the system design should provide capacity based on a statistical analysis of the independent events.

Fortunately, it is unlikely that all users will have three consecutive five minute conversations each starting at the same time. However, it is equally unlikely that the conversations will be evenly distributed. It is unlikely but less so that over time the worst case will be close to equally distributed because text conversations often spike around external events...the interesting answers to the question describe engineering judgments.

From the perspective of taking the question seriously, it is worth pointing out that it is slightly underspecified. Are conversations only between two parties or is group text possible?

Anyway, to me the question is interesting as a scheduling problem. The way I would search for an answer is by modeling it rather than intuition because scheduling problems are in NP.

Good luck.
Submarines do have the EPIRB. This submarine was also confirmed to be equipped with one. One of the reasons that this disappearance was weird was that there wasn't even a trace of the EPIRB activating on this sub so we're not even sure if it "sank"

Typically hardware will have the base layer, a cursor layer, and possibly a video overlay. But in many cases, the video "overlay" is actually emulated by the driver using a shader to do the colorspace conversion and the texture hardware to do scaling.
Yes, the issue is the cabin air filter. The simple paper pollen filters don't do anything against NO2 - we measure the same values inside and outside.

Most filters with active charcoal will reduce the NO2 concentration a lot. It is recommended to replace them after 1-2 years or a certain distance, but we don't have numbers on this - still, it is clear the filters degrade after a while.

Amazon is single-handedly disrupting the whole economy
Depends on your perspective. The reason these other products are “cheap” is because you’re making up for the dollar cost with your psychological well-being and being advertised to by the world’s best psychologists and cognitive scientists. So an iPhone or whatever may be “expensive” but I’d submit it’s actually cheaper when you take other factors into account.

And you can trust Apple with your data at least as much as any other provider if not more since they have a financial motivation to protect your privacy (it’s a feature).

Now I think rooting your device and hosting your own servers are a good solution - but most people, even engineers such as myself - may not want to spend time doing that or deal with security concerns from rooting your device.

Then ... that means the supervision of residents is not working. That basically means, it's useless. (Since it'd make sense to apply the maximum amount of supervision when a resident is new and as the resident gains trust, decrease it.)

I said it before and I will say it again: a 14" display in 4:3 aspect ratio is the best choice for a programmers laptop!

In Spain, Amazon was the major retailer introducing the Black Friday to the local masses.

During the next few years, other sellers joined the trend pushing it even more.

This year, in order to stay competitive, Amazon Spain has been "forced" to follow the trend and have a Black Friday WEEK.
For a technical person, you have another choice: LineageOS (optionally with microG, which is what I use). It's nearly-stock Android without the Google apps, and with a few extra features. (Privacy Guard is very nice.)

microG lets you use apps that depend on Play Services without actually having Play Services - it's not complete but most of the common APIs are there.

There are other ROMs, but LineageOS (formerly CyanogenMod) is the only one I personally have experience with.
A previous strike closer to 2000 was the birth of "reality television". The original Survivor was pitched on the basis of its immunity to a looming writers strike.

It seems like you’re sneaking an assertion in there. Can you clarify your point a bit? What is the relationship between competition and wages, and why is one better than the other for unions?
It's also an opportunity to drop stock you don't want before the end of Q4.

My impression (about the retail version, say 15-20 years ago) was that it was companies offloading stock they wanted off their books at something of a discount ahead of the holiday season, since it let the companies close out their books for the year and customers get a little bit more for the holidays. It was a win-win in a lot of ways.

Then the disgusting marketing/accounting shenanigans took hold and made it shitty, particularly the online version. It's still possible to find genuine deals, mostly because retailers do still have stock they want to offload.

That's the opposite of being fair. Making decisions (such approving a new, ambitious project) is not doing the work.

That happens to some extent but many jurisdictions have laws regulating the practice of increasing prices just to cut them as an advertised discount. For national retailers who do nationwide campaigns, the hassle of structuring deals in a way that is compliant with all state and local laws would be significant.

No, they wipe out that hardware. It's like your smartphone wiping itself with a few wrong password attempts. It can still be recovered, it just means that particular hardware is now useless until it has been recovered.

Great way to make sure in the near future Amazon will send packages to Italy from France, Austria, Slovenia or Switzerland - the countries sharing a border with them.

My choice of words may not be good, but other countries (esp. allies) copied MANY more things than things they didn't copy, esp. with topics related to NN... Copyright law, patents, free speech, and internet itself... and the fight against software patents was long and difficult.

The biggest "cultural hegemony" is basically capitalism, though.
