That's because you have an unrealistic and naive view of the world and politics!

Abandoning politics because you're... too "moral" to deal with such things just leaves the field to those who do not feel that way. Those people you may not be wishing to represent you, eg: the current head of the FCC.

Secondly, yes there are only two parties and a suboptimal outcome, but that's what is happening. Your lack of a vote doesn't help, and in fact hurts.

Thirdly, you don't have to be fully 100% on board with everything, you just have to pay attention to (a) what are you able to do and (b) what are the likely outcomes.

Revolution is hardly a great idea. How would the US civil war work with nuclear weapons? Not well. I have a friend who lived thru a real revolution, and yeah, you don't want that.

The reality is simple. We have gotten to where we are by incremental changes, and we can get back via incremental changes. It's not sexy, it doesn't make for good front page articles. But that's the reality.

Politics doesn't get better if people opt out.

The obvious way to reinstate net neutrality is via legislation. Congress has the power to do this.
> Vote for Democrats at every level of government, in every election possible.

And this is why a lot of us feel powerless with this issue. I live in an area where every elected official from local to federal is a Democrat. (obvious exception being the president, a Republican that actually lost the popular vote by 3 million).

Needless to say, my federal representatives strongly support NN.. but they are in the minority.

Hence, why voting feels meaningless for me.

I think the whole idea behind using Julia in this situation would be that you get good enough performance "out of the box" so that you don't have to resort to using an FFI in the first place.

Just for the record I support Ajit Pai on this issue. Putting this comment just to show that not all on HN disagree with FCC.
I support Ajit's argument here. Fast lanes exist in other countries and it is saving money for them.
Definitely true. Supposedly Motherboard will be publishing some guides on this, so I'll have to wait and see how helpful those are.
I agree. Some of the things done in the name of ergonomics just strike me as wrong and/or possibly misleading for learners.

People who say Rust is hard to learn have always confused me. I learned programming in this order: scheme, C, C++, Haskell, Rust. I believe that if you go in another order it may make things more difficult, but some of these difficulties are inherent. To me, a reference to a thing is inherently different from the thing, and a systems language should make that clear. I didn't even like auto-deref, I felt like there should be an operator similar to

thing->method()

in C++ that can be chained so that references and indirection would always be syntactically clear and distinct, but the ergonomics on that won out.

I now leave my laptop at home. I still do some Facebook on my iPhone, but not nearly as much as I did when I had my acer with me.

There are a lot of logical loops here that don’t make sense. “I can’t”, “I will always”, “for obvious reasons...” etc.

They sound familiar to me. I’ve been stuck in loops of anger/pain where I can’t let go of an axiom, even though I know it’s probably not representative of reality, because I am obsessed about the possibility of finding another axiom under that one.... one that is both represented in reality AND addresses the pain I am feeling.

The only way that can continue for months/years is by keeping it a secret. He keeps saying over and over how he could never tell anyone because it would get out. But that’s his false axiom. Talking would’ve been the only way to find release. Talking would’ve unraveled his nonsense thoughts. But he needed to cling to them to feel safe.

I’m not sad he killed himself, that was his decision. But I’m sad he went so long without having a true friend or a doctor who could listen and help process reality with. That sounds unbearable.

There is someone out there who can hold the conversation you need to have. You will probably have to try with several people to find them, and it will be devastatingly hard. It will be terrifying. But it is the only way to get to the point where you have a confidant whose eyes you can use to correct your own flawed vision.

There is someone out there who has been waiting their whole life to have that conversation with you.

But that's also the brilliance of Rust supporting a clean C ABI.

I can write in anything I want since every language supports C ABI for system calls.

I don't want to have to learn a whole new language and new API at the same time.

Also a cursory glance at Julia's numpy support looks like it requires deep copies which is painful when you want things to be fast.

I'm sure it's a great language but needing to drag in a whole new VM means it doesn't fit my needs.
I liked the Growl notification customizations on the Mac, where every possible notification type for an app was listed. That’s how it should be; then you know everything that the app can possibly send. You could make broad preferences where desired, and granular settings as needed.

I hate that installing new apps enables every stupid notification by default, seemingly only fixable by going 3 levels deep into every app’s settings and disabling things. Designers talk about the importance of having good defaults, and notifications have really, really stupid defaults coupled with bad UI for fixing them.
Your odds of making significant money off stock options are far higher than the lottery. I know no lottery winners, but i know a half dozen former coworkers who became millionaires through stock options, and dozens who’ve made hundreds of thousands.

On the contrary, employees are far better suited to value options than journalists. Journalists can’t value options because these companies are private, they can’t know average option grant, vesting period, strike value, total share count, company fair market value, etc, etc. They have no way of comparing the typical option value in silicon valley to other businesses, they can only compare cash comp.

Employees can know what their companies last valuation was, what about yay means per share, and reasonably estimate it’s future value if it succeeds, and roughly estimate how likely that is.

If you think you need $150K in silicon valley to match the $85K you make in the heartland, if some silicon valley company offers you $150K plus 1% of the company you don’t know exactly how much the stock is worth, just that its a lot.

For example a simple calculation goeslike this. Let’s say you think it’s a 1 in 10 shot get company succeeds, and it will be worth on average $400M if it does. That’s means $4M for you if it does or $1M a year, assuming vesting over 4 years. The 10% chance of success says you be zero most of the time, but your options value still works out to be worth an average value of $100K/year.

So when a journalist says engineers who make $150K in SV would have a higher standard of living in the heartland making $85K, that’s because they don’t have a clue what those options are worth.
Things to Look Forward to at Token Summit SF
At least Aliexpress has notification settings, you can leave just messages notifications or disable them completely. With Photos there are no refined notification settings.

You can obviously disable all notifications of an app in Android itself but it cripples an app if some of those notifications are actually useful.
I agree - it's also really useful as a prototyping language, since its accessibility allows domain experts to really make something that suits their workflow. My current company (Parsley, www.parsleycooks.com) would have been a lot harder to do without looking at the Excel sheets that the more tech-savvy and organized chefs use for logistics work.
Actually the SCRUMM Virtual Machine plays a lot of these old games using data files from the original floppy disks or CDs to load the original graphics.

http://www.scummvm.org/

People who follow that find their old install disks, or buy one used on eBay, and put the data files on their hard drive and run SCRUMM to see what the game looks like when it ran on DOS, etc.

So in this instance, they just rebuild the game engine and take data files to play the game as the original artists have intended.

The somewhat ironic thing is that this is literally the core reason for the ideology of government being more hands off. Bad behavior enables competition. Google Fiber is an interesting case study. There are indeed major barriers to entry to competition in telecoms, both financial and regulatory, yet Google managed to overcome them in a variety of areas. However, after 6 years in business they only managed to obtain 0.07 million television subscribers and 0.45 million broadband subscribers. They've put all expansion plans on hold and have been downsizing current operations.

The reasons for their failure are complex (for instance they discovered that in poorer regions, families were inexplicably not even willing to sign up for the free option - they responded with grants for digital literacy) but the fundamental problem is simply that they didn't get anywhere near the marketshare they expected. So thus in spite of what every inclining would lead us to believe, people didn't really feel incentivized enough to go through the hassle of moving away from Time Warner/Comcast.

The masses move like molasses. And people only really feel incentivized to change things when actions against them become particularly onerous. I think we should not really make this sort of 'onery' unlawful, but instead embrace the positive change such negative actions can foster. Make companies consider not only profit, but ethics and consequences of unethical activity. The recent events with EA are a similar example. There are no real regulations in video games and so you ended up with EA turning a major franchise title into a burdensome 'fee-to-pay' style game and it finally resulted in real action from the consumers. Now people want to try to get laws stopping companies from including loot crates. In other words stopping companies from engaging in behavior that actually gets the masses to do the one thing that gets actual change from companies - speak with their wallet.

Granted, this is uncomfortable given the monopolistic nature of Comcast/Time Warner. If no competition does emerge then instead you're getting screwed by the one and only real option you have for service. But as I think this article is showing, so long as companies know they can get the marketshare - options will emerge. The one major condition on all this is that companies must also be allowed to fail, regardless of any possible consequences. 'Too big to fail' means 'too big to ever be held accountable' which, in turn, means 'too big to exist.'
Excel can cover many use cases with just with UI workflows without requiring its users to actually learn programming.

The example he chose to show how bad they were makes them look fairly reasonable. So perhaps his judgment was clouded. That example was that Muslims who follow the koran are terrorists. The koran does actually advise people to kill quite a lot of other people, so following it strictly would make you at least a murderer, if not a terrorist.

Presumably sunblock is more chemically exotic and thus is more likely to be harmful due to greater variance in harm, lack of knowledge about the mechanisms of harm, inability to fully characterize the harm using current tests, etc.
The problem is it starts breaking down at around 250C, and if you leave a pan on a stove it can easily get above that temperature. The chemicals it breaks down into are known neurotoxins, and are especially lethal to birds.

See Verizon and Comcast. Today. With Net Neutrality on the books. Want to bypass this congestion? Buy some PNIs.

So what we have here is dilettantes talking about a how they think the world should be or is today rather than acknowledging that net neutrality stopped existing in 1995 when AS1239 started asking for $$ to get peering routes.

> Democrats use drones to kill innocent or presumed-guilty people in other countries.

That's not a Democrat thing, that's an American thing.

We don't have enough data to say democrats use drones more than republicans. GW Bush was the first President to have access to drones period, and it was not yet a mature technology nor at the beginning of his term. Obama was the first President to have drones available for his first term, and yes he did use them.

President Trump is using drones just as much as Obama did, and in fact Trump has taken the White House out of the command loop and is giving more authority to the CIA to execute drone strikes! So not just drone strikes, but drone strikes with little accountability, ordered neither by an elected official or the military but instead the CIA. Also, President Trump rolled back Obama's mandate that drones can't be used outside of war zones.

Don't forget that President Reagan signed that drug sentencing act into law.

The housing shortage in SF is NIMBYs, not democrats. It just happens that democrats are overrepresented in SF so you are using a correlation as causation.

> Net neutrality is still more important than all those ruined lives?

It's not a binary decision. But losing net neutrality could lead to some pretty awful social and economic effects 20 years down the line. It can lead to even more class inequality, lower education levels, increased crime, and potentially even a major recession or crash as our tech sector productivity decreases due to the anticompetitive environment.

> It's far from a simple as "always vote democrat".

That I agree with.
Fashion Ecommerce – What a Mobile App Can Do for Your Business
A bunch of the GOP seems to hold this belief. If there wasn't such a strong movement for net neutrality, I bet a bunch of Democrats would like this as well.

I understand there are a lot of lobbyists, but there are many people who sincerely believe the "less regulation and more competition will solve the issues" mantra.

I place a lot of the blame on outlets like the Wall Street Journal giving credence to arguments that strip out all context and use fancy words to justify these positions. Doesn't help that other people are afraid to call out their lies because they came from the same social circles.

Yes, the "free market + competition makes things cheaper" argument works well when you remove all the reasons why a specific case does not fit the theory perfectly.

> The net neutrality laws prohibit anti-competitive blocking and "throttling" of Internet services or discriminating by protocol, ip-adress, application, etc.

Except that NN does not prohibit it for traffic engineering purposes. And I'm here, just doing traffic engineering:

if (you-pay-me-for-PNIs) { set-local-preference really-high } else { set-local-preference default }

Oh look, your traffic is going to the non-congested path which happens to be the path to my PNI locations, directly into your network. Jack on the other hand, Jack gets to use the standard transit. "Hey Jack, you know, we will drag all your traffic to SJC, even if you are on the East Coast and hand it off to TATA because TATA gives us the lowest transit price. Man, TATA seem to be congested from 5pm Eastern to about 2am Eastern. Oh well, maybe you guys need to yell at TATA. Oh, do you want to buy a dozen of 10Gs to me all over the country? That would avoid those dolts at TATA."
Thats a bit hyperbolic. It's not like trade with the EU will suddenly stop. Worst case will be WTO tariffs , most of which will already be offset by the fall in the pound.

I think you might have that slightly incorrect. Rust is a high level language, capable of C and C++ speeds. As you get to know the language, I find it just as productive as Java, Ruby and Python. In some ways more so, because the compiler catches so many bugs before you even run (not to imply you won’t have bugs, just different ones).

YMMV.
