AirBnB might solve the hotel problem, but left unregulated, they would (and did) stress the rental market. Not just in Europe, but also in San Francisco.

> regulatory handouts to the privileged classes

And unregulated AirBnB is basically a way for rich people (privileged classes) to buy apartments in cities and turn them to money-making machines, to the detriment of the lower-incomed renter (lower-incomed because they can only afford to rent, not to buy their own place).

> because the personal sacrifice would only be worth it to me if it came attached to a systemic change

This is the reason why. You may prefer the world to be a certain way, but you aren't willing to make any sacrifice to make it be a particular way, so it appears that you don't actually care about an opinion that you are espousing.

People who don't eat meat have a net effect on a reduced demand for meat, reducing the amount of cattle. Becoming a vegetarian doesn't stop everyone eating meat, but it helps.

[I'm not a vegetarian but I have some respect for people who are willing to stand by their beliefs]
The use of the word "porcelain" for the user-facing parts of git always makes me cringe or giggle, because the first association that comes to my mind is a toilet (as opposed to tableware). And just to be clear, my opinion of Git is nowhere near that low. I do not like it very much, but I do not despise it, either.

I know it is silly, but I cannot help myself. Sorry.
Literally my job is to make software that increases productivity, in a blatantly Taylorist sense, for a segment of business that is almost universally considered a cost center. More throughput with less people, and ideally the software enables using the cheapest people possible. I'm tasked with creating metrics that line-managers can use to drive their workers like oarslaves on a corsair galley. In a perfect world, from the business' perspective, I'd utterly replace the people with some conglomeration of AI buzzwords that could do the job at 65% of the efficiency of a human, at less than the cost of one minimum wage salary.
Exactly! It's super annoying that Apple started discriminating 3rd party services in Siri support. I tried Apple Music, it's ok, but I support Spotify for a reason - I do not want to live in a world of conglomerates in power of every aspect of my life. And I have the right for that decision, so Apple could respect it and allow me to listen to music on my preferred service, since I already spent a lot of money on their devices and going to spend more, if they stop annoying me.

It's a made up issue. "Net neutrality" doesn't mean a free internet. It means a free internet regulated by the FCC.

Almost nobody is against a free internet. A lot of people such as myself are against the FCC being in charge of regulating it. Competition and the FTC's anti-trust authority have kept the internet free for decades and will continue to do so in the future.

The people pushing "net neutrality" want to transfer power to the FCC because the FCC will go beyond maintaining fair access to the internet. They'll next move into regulating content as they have done with television and radio. That's the real goal.
You cannot build a large API effectively without using it. Programming is tons of details, and you're going to miss some if you aren't programming with your API yourself. It's like building a graphical user interface without ever firing it up.

For instance, if you build a simple REST interface with a list at /object/ and details at GET /object/1 and changes at POST /object/1, then you're good, right? This is a well-understood way of structuring things?

Well, what if your objects are really simple and someone has to synchronize 100k of them. It's not possible to do that efficiently through such an interface.

The API has to see some use, and it has to be able to evolve as you learn. And you need to be ready to make some sacrifices on your side of the fence, to make the life of the API user easier.
Hacking a phone or a computer does not depend on programming language, but exploit the existing vulnerabilities. If you mean by create Windows virus/trojan/malware, them are generally written in Visual C++ (VC++), and you can learn it by buying books for basic knowledge and go to practice. so i think adrian lamo uses c plus or v plus for hacking.
I don't know why every one talk about Nicholas Shields, I'm not the only Hacker online, but if you like to know what hackers use i can tell you , to hacking web site for example you need script python or Perl or ruby ... but its not the important part because first you should know what you will do and then it will be easy because maybe you will found some code in the internet like here Exploits Database by Offensive Security , so there is a different between someone who hack by using tools and code already done and someone who found "zero days" bugs and expel hacking.

And unlike in other rolling release distros (or at least unlike in ArchLinux; [citation needed]), emerge is smart enough to keep older versions of .so files so you're less likely to get unusable system/programs due to partial upgrades: [0]. I really cannot use Arch on personal computers simply because sometimes I need to keep various packages at older versions for various reasons (bugs, coredumps still in TODO, sensitive processes still running, whatever), so I inevitably end up choosing between bar+libfoo.so.X, baz+libfoo.so.Y, and rebuilding everything from scratch. (Edit: and I also cannot install older version of baz 'cause it's already gone from the mirrors.)

You must elaborate that more, because I can't see it.

Sure, but the option of third party app stores opens also option of sideloading. In the case of Apple, when Apple says no, you are without the app, period.

> and are just as bad if not worse since their system of persistent user tracking is far more insidious.

Not sure about their tracking, but they do not have an equivalent of Play Services on the devices. If you want to be really sure, use F-Droid or apps stores with the principles of F-Droid.

> Don't like Google? You can't avoid them no matter what OS you are using, no matter what browser you're using etc.

That's not true. When you use Google Search, Gmail or Youtube, it's you who entered the URL into the location bar. You can stop doing that exactly the same way, like you can not purchase Apple products.

I don't think that paying only the taxes that you owe legally is ethically wrong.

The problem is the overly complex tax code that allows entities with deep pockets to find loopholes that don't exist for normal citizens. Solving the problem of big companies not paying the taxes you'd expect them to pay has to involve changing the law.
> There is no specific fine for violations as far as I know though.

It's a shame this happened pre-GDPR because that has steep fines - 4% of worldwide revenue - which would be north of $260M going off their 2015 numbers. And that's assuming they get off with a single fine.

> People will be paying for the product anyway, I don't see anything wrong with charging the cost of production/maintenance + profits

Have you ever thought that many people are fine with the deal they're currently getting and don't have the money to pay for more? Maybe that's great for rich people, but for lower income folks, the way ISPs optimize bandwidth right now is fine, they've probably done tons of testing to make it the less noticeable possible while providing the best prices for their customers (market at work). Forcing high bandwidth for all people even those that don't care will leave people out of internet connection at all as they won't be able to pay at all. So people won't be able to pay anymore but at least your principles will be respected, sounds like the classical case of unintended consequences of leftists policies that always end up hurting the poorest while giving good conscience and a good deal to the rich. Not a big fan of that kind of things personally.

The site is technically pretty neat, but honestly does anyone think a bunch of low-effort automated calls to a Congressperson's voicemail is really going to change anything?

Crows are amazing creatures. And annoying at times.

Our garden used to have lots of crows but because they continued to bully our dog (they stole and ate his food, sometimes even seconds after we put the bowl outside) we had to chase them away via various methods so our dog and the neighbors could have some peace.

Some IDEs may offer better language-specific features than the community-supported emacs modes, however I haven't found an IDE that actually does the editing (and displaying) of text as well as emacs.

In particular all the little modes that try to emulate emacs functionality (simple things like rainbow-delimiters or slightly more complex things like undo-tree-mode) are always broken in subtle ways in the "modern" applications. Not to mention all the text navigation features: ace-jump & friends, helm-swoop, etc...!

I guess a large part of this is that emacs has had 40 years to mature and that it was originally written at a time where software was judged on different criteria than it is today.
It's true that you MUST learn Elisp to use Emacs effectively. That said, the thing with Lisp is it's a pretty simple language, and once you know one Lisp dialect learning another one isn't a big deal. As far as Elisp is concerned, you don't need to learn a vast library either. Most of the time you'll be setting variables, hooks and occasionally writing some small function.
Fake news is a much, much harder problem than spam.

Spam is simply marketing emails that a user never asked to receive. If you ask users themselves for a definition of spam, you’ll get some variation on the above. If users were asked to mark emails they considered to be spam, they would generally mark the same kind of emails as spam. Some would mark more, some less, but all around a common center. Users and companies are basically in agreement about what spam is.

Compare with fake news. If you asked users to mark stories they considered fake, some would mark info wars and some would mark huff post. And those groups would rarely overlap. Given that users and companies fundamentally disagree on what fake news even is, I can’t see how any piece of technology can solve this.

I presume you have sources backing the claim that Spotify is the majority of the streaming market. Be that as it may Apple Music is available in far more places that Spotify.

This is as of early last year : https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/apple-music-is-now-in...

And as far as I can google, Spotify still isn't available anywhere in Africa officially as of September 2017.

Spotify being a majority of the streaming market numerically doesn't matter too much if its market reach is limited.
I agree, we need competition, but that's not something we will get in a reasonable time scale. We're insisting on NetNeutrality for the sole purpose of protecting consumers. By just saying 'the free market will solve all our problems' won't help us get there or solve any real issues that will plague people from now til some future where that may or may not be realized.

Per your second point regarding the imminency of a free market, is that not also a regulation being imposed upon ISP's? You're proposing regulation on the physical infrastructure whilst NN argues for regulation (or non-regulation as it were) of data. What is the difference in your opinion?
Here’s your reason. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/magazine/the-extraordi...
true, however given that Apple's business model is specifically not based on privacy intrusion and Google's is the likelihood of this happening is probably pretty negligible.

>Upgrading your infrastructure to meet the demand your customers place on it isn't a cost of regulatory compliance. It's the cost of doing business.

No, that's not how business work. If customers are not happy with a service they can shop elsewhere. The business is not forced by government to improve its infrastructure, just by customers pressure. The fact that some places only have one ISP is because government over-regulate right to pass and install fiber.

> Where in the network neutrality order did the FCC impose censorship on the Internet?

Once you turn the internet into a public utility, it gives the power to the FCC to censor it anyway it wants, just like TV or radio. Of course it won't be done overnight. Just wait for a big nazi/antifa/pedophile/terrorist internet scandal that would lead to a tragic death, than people will rush in a bill that says "sorry folks but we can't allow people to publish anything they want, think of the children" just like they did with public broadcasting on tv and radio. Making the internet a public utility is a requirement to pass these censorship laws, it's a first step. Censorship always happens in small steps. Think of the patriot act, if you give the government the power to take your rights away, they eventually will. Although to be fair they already have that power, but this will basically give them even more justification and power.
