This is not the logic of the article.

The article says that Title II is pointless over-regulation which creates danger for ISPs, which it is. Imagine if I created 700 rules for what you can do every day and promised to “selectively apply” those rules based on how I feel today. Would you be ok with that? Any mood change on my part (correlating with a change in FCC leadership) and I could ruin your life. Those are not good conditions under which to build a long term business. If you had that hanging over your head, you wouldn’t be happy either.

People have been brainwashed to think that Net Neutrality == Title II regulation. That is incorrect. The principal of Net Neutrality is far more important than Title II. Title II is just the wrong tool for the job and causes a lot of additional damage in addition to supporting Net Neutrality.

Watching Facebook, Google and Twitter demoting and removing opinions and websites they don’t like (aka not advertiser friendly) is much more sinister than what the ISPs are able to / are likely to do.

Censorship by search algorithm is far more dangerous than removal of Title II, which has downsides but is not anywhere near as apocalyptic as what people are saying about it online.

I am frustrated at how many people on here do so little research into their own opinions, they just look online and see what Twitter or reddit are saying and say: “ok, sounds good I believe that.”

Please take the approach of trying to poke holes in your own opinions before adopting them.
I use C-Space. Easy to type and doesn’t interfere with any readline or vim keybindings.
What rubber gasket are you referring to? I don't recall gaskets specifically mentioned in the article. They talk about they neck collar, but that is supposedly "canvas."

Due to the mergers/acquisitions involved over the years, it's entirely possible that Philips doesn't even know exactly where their current stock came from. While I certainly believe they could be of more help than they have been, I also think people are massively underestimating how hard it might be for them to do so.

> A mesh network by its nature most have packet-gnosticism as a first principle.

Why?
There may be no clear and complete answer, but there is one very robust partial answer. Land Value Taxation makes a lot of sense and appears to function as more or less as intended where it is adopted. There are many other factors involved, but moving away from unbalanced subsidies like the mortgage interest deduction toward systematically appropriate taxation could help a great deal.
Oops. I meant does NOT feel like justice.
I know this is showing my age around here, but didn't there used to be a norm about not posting a straight wall of text? Like, write your own blog post if you want to respond at length to either someone else on the site or the link being discussed?
Of course, who else would be responsible but an engineer?
> I'm at least confident if my ISP started blocking Netflix because they made a deal with Comcast, the hammer of the FCC or FTC would fall on them in short order, and there would be consumer outrage.

You mean "while net neutrality is the law", right? Because that's exactly what you will lose if net neutrality is no longer required.
Yes, it is that much of a stretch. Apple temporarily gave Uber that special permission in order to make their Watch app work better for their users. It’s extremely unlikely that Apple would give Facebook special permission in order to spy on users to no benefit to the people who actually pay Apple money. And somehow it’s gone unnoticed all this time.
It seems like a wild exaggeration to me. Japanese definitely has it's share of imagery and wordplay. It's just that most video game scripts - especially from that era - tend to employ a language that is straightforward and functional at its best and uninspiring and dull at its worst.

Japanese does have many forms of imagery though. For a prime example of cheeky imagery in wordplay like the one in the sodliers' dialogue you can probably look no further than Rakugo - which employs wordplay so much that it's notoriously hard to translate.
Not sure why this is front page on HN. It's basically "market to your competitors Twitter followers" which doesn't seem particularly interesting or insightful in almost-2018.
"What they did was technically legal" etc etc

Anyway, I think it makes sense to prosecute _everyone_ involved, not just (but at least) the senior management who were responsible. If you send the message that everyone along the chain of events -- including the software engineers that are all the more relevant in today's products -- that this shit isn't ok, then aren't people going to fight against these sorts of goings-on?
Yeah, fantastic /s

You'd be surprised how effective this still is. I have used similar approach (scrapping data, uploading that into an ESP, using drip campaigns for reach out) in multiple sectors from selling mega expensive furniture in the B2B space (think interior designers, architects, boutique hotel owners) to orchestrating and activating new markets with "influencer" (hate that term) and affiliate marketing. "Competitors prospects" could be easily swapped for potential affiliates, influencers, partners, etc.

Eh, I remember watching a 'literal' fan translation of the scene in Dragon Ball Z where Majin Vegeta explains the impetus for his continuing feud with Goku.

I'm beginning to find myself in that situation now. Anywhere from 1.75L to 3.5L of liquor a week. At least for me I think it's because my day to day life is very isolated in addition to having a fairly stressful and unfulfulling job. I haven't had much motivation to do anything about it precisely because I'm not suffering much of any immediate negative consequences yet, and I don't really see any path towards changing my life situation to make things more bearable without drinking

This is interesting. So why are there so many Uber/Lyft drivers? Is it because there is a glut of unused cars in America and they provide a way to monetize it?

That is, if you aren't actually paying for the car's costs, then it IS your profit.

Can you give an example where this happens in German? I am a native German speaker, but not aware of such an example.

Nearly 4M Bitcoins Lost Forever, New Study Says
First, miners also invest in the future of the coin when they invest in building up a mining operation for it.

Second, if most miners stop mining a coin, it can kill it. At least the next few blocks will take a very long time to be confirmed. Just as importantly, the security of the system is reduced because a large miner could theoretically overwhelm the remaining hashpower and execute a "51% attack" for some short-term profit. It's unlikely, but the confidence in the coin is partly based on it being impossible.
I'm saying people will be less likely to care that repealing net neutrality will hurt them if they feel like they're already experiencing the ill effects while it's law.
Typical ad hominem attack on writer which refuses to propose the actual solution that you are planning: “government censorship of the internet.”

Let’s be very clear about what you are alluding to when you are blaming the free market - You are saying the government needs to “do something” to ensure that Google and Facebook surface “correct” and “fair” results.

Do you really want that?

Megan is VERY rightly not stepping farther than what she said because the next step is to install government officials who attempt to tweak search algorithms and review what gets ranked in Google and what doesn’t.

This is exactly what China is doing, it is the exact opposite of Net Neutrality.

Are you able to articulate a solution to this problem that doesn’t involve creating a censorship department that is embedded into every major tech company? Once again, this is how China does things currently.

The people in Hacker News comments scare me to death, the combination of lack of awareness and obedience to what they see on Twitter is genuinely frightening and dangerous.

SCTP provides a nice protocol that gets you the best of both worlds in many ways between TCP and UDP. It features:

- hybrid reliable and unreliable, ordered and unordered delivery semantics

- automatic MTU fragmenting, to avoid router fragmentation

- ordered multi-channel multiplexing

Unfortunately SCTP never took off, but it is the data channel protocol for WebRTC, which uniquely positions WebRTC as a nice platform for game networking in the browser. (However, the stack must be implemented in user space since it is SCTP over DTLS over UDP.)

We are working on a WebRTC based game networking server for Social Mixed Reality at Mozilla which uses the Janus WebRTC gateway as the connection manager, our initial work can be found here:

https://blog.mozvr.com/enabling-the-social-3d-web/

Our initial SFU plugin for Janus already out of the box makes it easy to set it up as a dumb game networking server that just relays messages between peers, but our plan is to turn it into a connection manager in front of an OTP service that provides full authoritative game networking services.
I think looking into the “why” behind your drinking will help a lot. That and finding something that is equally fulfilling.
In my case, I simply wanted a plug where I could know what code runs on it. I love everything Sonoff makes for that exact reason, I've bought a lot of their stuff (including their wifi light switches).

The switches are especially handy because you can program them to do anything, not just switch lights on and off. For example, you can program your bedroom switch to turn off all lights with a long press. Theoretically, anyway, as I haven't yet gotten mine so I haven't tried it with that particular model in practice.
Yeah, there's a quote in the article that I liked, which made the point:

"Imagine developing a company specifically to take advantage of people’s ignorance of how expensive it really is to drive their own car. What would this company look like?" (i.e. Uber)

With that said, considering how much of the fares they take, and how low their cost of booking is, it seems they could make it work by charging a bit more and taking less of a cut.
+1 for LaCroix. It’s an excellent substitute for soda, though starting with diet soda might be an easier transition.

Thank you for this. You just saved me lots of disassembly.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say maybe this isn't Microsoft's fault. Microsoft's updates have triggered a bug, but the bug is in the firmware of that crappy router. Thats where the issue needs to be fixed.
Interesting, curious to hear more. What techniques are you referring to? Some re-appropriation of mobile hardware for cross sensory applications? Data sharing of some kind?

They’re glued and can’t be placed back if taken. There’s no hooks or clamps, I think you’re thinking of the older keyboards.

I know this firsthand as I’ve removed one key. It’s now lose on the keyboard but mostly works anyway. Still, I have no love for this keyboard, 4-5 keys are semi stuck and have been for some time.
> Actually, the Magic Keyboard uses scissor switches.

"similar switches" was a bad phrase to use in my original comment

> I don't blame you for not noticing

I did notice.

In fact, I hesitated to buy the current Magic Keyboard, hoping that they'd refresh it with the exact feel of the laptops. The key travel is about halfway between the old wireless keyboard and the new MacBook Pros. Better, but not perfect.

> Since you like the Magic Keyboard, I assume this would be fine with you?

I greatly prefer the butterfly switches, yet acknowledge that the Magic Keyboard is an improvement over the old wireless keyboard.
Not a glut of unused cars, a huge deficit in good, stable jobs. That’s what enables the gig economy to exist.

Living in the Future, by a 12-yo Scott Farquhar (Atlassian)
Many of the popular web frameworks like Django and Elixir have a lot in common with Rails with regards to typing and compilation or lack thereof.

Function composition and partial function application is totally supported in Ruby so not sure what your complaint is there. Here is one rather forced example: http://genua.github.io/ruby/2015/03/17/ruby-function-composi...

I don’t know anything about Elm and Purescript but I’ll look into them. They aren’t hugely popular (as far as I know, feel free to correct me) so I’m not sure that’s a major win for portable skills versus Ruby engineers learning Scala or Python. If you don’t get too wild with the symbols, Scala can actually look quite familiar to Ruby programmers. Twitter had people use a subset of Scala when they transitioned many services from Ruby to Scala so that it would be an extra easy transition.

JavaScript has come a long way though and is certainly the lingua franca of the Internet.
I am loving my Surface Pro. Great build quality, extremely portable, 8+ hours of battery life, detachable, writable screen, Windows 10 is pretty good, especially with Ubuntu built in (or VirtualBox if you need Docker).

If I am not mistaken, the right to print and regulate money is explicitly written in the constitution. I did some Googling, and it is in Article 1 Section 8.

>"The Constitution contains only two sections dealing with monetary issues. Section 8 permits Congress to coin money and to regulate its value.

www.let.rug.nl/usa/essays/general/a-brief-history-of-central-banking/money-and-the-constitution.php
Being a bit more specific, I think the Internet should be regulated to prevent anti-consumer behavior, but not nationalized. Nationalize the Internet means that only the country can act as ISP.
Because

1) People don't understand the true costs of ownership and driving and think they are yielding the entire cost of the fair.

Or

2) They enjoy driving, getting paid for it is a bonus.

Or

3) They don't/can't have "regular employment" for whatever reason and want to make some money in their spare time, even if it's just a little. Like some in college who only works during breaks or weeks when the courseload is smaller.

Or

4) Someone who is employed but only drives when they are bored on the weekends rather than watching Netflix or going to the pub.

Of course #3 becomes self perpetuating at scale.

For #1 - story time: I had already decided I was going to buy a new car, which car I would buy, and that I was going to finance it. I was trying to squeeze another year out of my current car first tho. My sister was absolutely baffled by this and couldn't understand that this would save me money. No matter how much I tried to explain it she didn't "get" it.

From TFA:
>"Imagine developing a company specifically to take advantage of people’s ignorance of how expensive it really is to drive their own car. What would this company look like?“
(the answer is of course that it would look like very much like Uber or any other ridesharing company)
And what vim_coder and ConputerGuru meant was that Firefox would present a spoofed list of supported codecs to YouTube to force selection of the higher bandwidth, lower-powered codec.

Just because Firefox technically supports a format doesn't mean it has to disclose that format to external servers for selection.

>> I feel deranged pointing this out, but hiring triple the headcount you need to run your business is not a progressive social value. I don't know what it is.

There's a certain bay area company that has a large developer office here in my rural state. They've been hiring as fast as they can for the past few years. From all my friends who work there, I get the impression that there are way more people now than there is actual work to do. And yet they continue to hire because I assume head count alone is primary metric.
The welcome resurgence of Firefox makes Apple’s ban on third party browser engines on iOS even less justifiable. This is about control, not security.
Take off the mainstream ideology glasses. I'm talking about good old fashioned civil law.

Just being able to sue them in court for damages (even if it's only small claims) and work out some form of legal precedent on where the rights and responsibilities are would be a huge start. As-is, if AT&T defrauds you, or Google just takes your stuff down without warning, I hope you're happy with the $5 check you get from the class action suit three years later.

Almost every other profession is constrained by more regulation and liability than tech companies, and last I checked, we're still not communist China.

Quite disagree. I was glad almost all questions where choices to tick. This went pretty fast. It’s a once a year surveyand there was a small warning at the beginning, so i didn’t expect it to be 3 questions anyway.
Don't condescend. My prediction for the odds of Netflix or other major site getting blocked by a major ISP still hovers at roughly 0% with the new FCC ruling. Even without Title II classification, there are other ways for the government to intervene in anti-competitive behavior (and indeed, they have). EDIT: It's worth pointing out that ISPs in general have shown much better behavior w/r/t censorship than content providers.
I think it's a legitimate concern that this definition of net neutrality doesn't consider that different networks have different costs associated with them. If a service offers peering for free at the local internet exchange which adds little additional cost for the provider I have a hard time seeing why you should have to treat that traffic the same as the traffic the provider has to pay for.

That means that someone on a community network, that isn't using the Internet very much, can't take advantage of that free peering. Instead they would have to join the same "traffic pool" as heavy users.
I disagree with your feelings about the anecdotes given there is an official account that’s more likely. Why would fb come out officially saying no, knowing they’ll be uncovered eventually if the answer ever were yes?

Also, your techniques could reveal a false negative both in the existence of a bug in the particular build of fb code being tested, and that such a mechanism could have existed in previous versions but already removed.
