> "And, I’d add, if neutrality and foreclosed competition are the issue net neutrality proponents say they are, then Google and Facebook are even bigger concerns than ISPs: both are super-aggregators with unprecedented power and the deepest moats ever seen in technology, and an increasing willingness to not be neutral."

That sounds like a bug.

The Galaxy Note series is, to my knowledge, the only smartphone on the market that comes with a stylus. Some of us really like that (Galaxy Note 4 owner here).

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. That a bubble has to be bigger before it can be called such? That you feel there's some fundamental value there to provide a floor price in the event of a crash? Genuine question
Yeah, the US and Canada are fantastic exceptions to the normal rule of making aeronautical information impossible to find and use. It really sucks that GA is so much more rare outside of North America. For all the bitching we do about the FAA, they're a generally pretty good organization that actually wants people to fly. The vibe I get from most other countries' aviation authority is that they just don't want us up there and that we're a pest or threat. They make it expensive and regulate it into the ground, or worse, ban GA altogether. In the US, airspace is, for the most part, open or easy to get clearance to (barring the presidential TFR and DC ADIZ nonsense), getting a license is more or less easily attainable, and buying or renting an aircraft is super easy. This isn't really the case anywhere else in the world.
> The one and only remedy to Net Neutrality is robust competition

Are you saying NN is a bad thing that needs to be healed by competition? Because that is exactly what the article is arguing. More regulation generally burdens potential start-ups, creates barriers to market entry, and disproportionately favors large incumbents? That is even when the regulation is supposed to limit harm caused by large incumbents, such as post-Great Recession banking regulation that only had the effect of destroying nearly all small/regional banks and causing a massive consolidation into what were supposedly already "too-big-to-fail" banks - making them only much bigger.

If we really believe that competition is good, then we should oppose arbitrary regulatory limitations and allow market competition to create alternatives to the theoretical harms we fear from undoing the re-classification of ISPs to Title II companies. That is only if we actually think competition provides better products and services for consumers than heavy-handed regulation.

Even if people don't give two shits about making themselves or the world a better place, most people do care about convenience, lower prices and whizbang new things, three things that would almost be guaranteed to disappear without NN. I can't even begin to imagine what the world would look like without NN, mostly because every website/webservice was small at one point. Try to imagine a world without Netflix, Amazon, Facebook, etc, etc, etc. And those are just the high profile ones that come to mind first.

Well...

Also, let’s be clear that regulations about the bar for food quality you will commercially sell to others and what you do in your own home (the furniture example) is obviously a false comparison. Besides the OSHA case for handrails there is, in fact, rules and regulations around the quality of, for instance, mattresses and their potential for catching fire.

Ultimately my point is that there is a clear and fundamental difference between regulating what you can sell commercially and what you do in your own home. In addition there is plenty of precedent (and good reason) for regulation that you used as some sort of straw man but in fact actively reduces injury and makes businesses more accessible and available to more customers.
Unless I am missing anything, Commerzbank has a small text on some of the sites "Using HBCI? This is how to activate". That's hardly advertising, nobody how doesn't already knows what this is about will click on that. All their interactions on the site seem to steer people to mobile or photo TAN.

To me it looks like nobody actually uses the Personalausweis online. Just recently, companies have switched off their support (e.g. HUK or DKB). And the majority of the readers around are just RFID readers without any dedicated keys or display (which obviously is not a secure way) which can't be used for HBCI.
My recommendation: leave. Websites won't stop doing something intrusive and annoying until it costs them more than it gets them.

I think the issue is that it was trending that way. Comcast was purposely slowing certain traffic that competed with their own product. Many that remember trying to use Netflix around 2014, remember the 5pm nightmare. This lead to the discussion about the difference between bandwidth and content. It's fair to charge for more bandwidth usage. It's not fair to charge based on _what_ is flowing through "the tubes".
Governments can attempt to legislate away / restrict Bitcoin at any time, and have muscle power to attempt to enforce this. The converse is not true. This is the main reason I say that there is added risk.

You are correct that government backed currency is indeed absolutely not risk free either in all cases; if confidence in the government is lost, the "official" currency might end up as worthless, and alternatives may prosper even despite heavy-handed government efforts in some cases. There is such a thing as speculative fiat currency.

Having said that, even though forex is generally considered more risky than other sorts of investments, the likelihood of the governments of the major currency players executing the sort of serious humdingers to move their currencies into the "speculative" category seems quite low to me. (Of course, nothing in investing is guaranteed, but still...)

I'll also add that, from what I see, Bitcoin "governance" -- the technical code decisions (https://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2017/09/not-so-...) -- is somewhat in flux right now, eg the dramas over bitcoin blocksize limits. This also adds risk.

I think the concept of copyright law is good in lots of ways, but the current copyright laws in the USA are pretty awful. It was originally 20 years, now it's 90+. Lots of old works are being lost or having access denied because they're still under copyright, but nobody is publishing them.

We will hunt monsters. And when we are lost amidst the hypocrisy and the casual violence of certain individuals and institutions, we will, as per Chief Jim Hopper, punch some people in the face when they seek to destroy the meek and the disenfranchised and the marginalized. And we will do it all with soul, with heart, and with joy.

Free southerners (to massively oversimplify, and with recognition that this excludes the very different concerns of enslaved southerners) were worried about the federal government getting both strong enough and regionally diverse enough to abolish slavery, which they felt would be both culturally and economically disastrous.

Northerners (to also massively oversimplify) didn't really care one way or the other about the moral question of slavery, at least not until fairly late in the war. They were worried about the Union dissolving into a dozen perpetually feuding nation states (like they saw in 19th century Europe) and taking American prosperity and power with it.

Both sides were probably correct. Had the war not occurred, abolition via the political process was eventually inevitable. Demographics weren't on the Confederate side. And had the Confederacy succeeded there's almost certainly no Pax Americana in the 20th century.

The American Civil War was fundamentally about slavery. It was also fundamentally about states rights vs federal power. Specifically, it was about the inherent instability of a specific, geographically coherent region having a slave economy inside a larger nation where slavery was generally illegal and where they would no longer unilaterally held any political veto points. But more fundamentally, why should it be surprising that the people who disagreed strongly enough to shoot at one another didn't cleanly line up about the exact single issue they were fighting about? History's not under any obligation to be simple and coherent.

And since this thread is already Godwined, If you went back and polled the average German circa 1940 on whether their flag was racist, I suspect the vast majority would emphatically insist it was about national pride and cultural unity and whatnot. Most arguments about why the Confederate flag is fine also accidentally serve as compelling arguments as to why Swatstikas are fine, and I've yet to hear a compelling distinction between the two cases.

Maybe I misunderstand stoic philosophy, but the rule to override emotional responses to failure with serenity strikes me as overly broad. Sometimes it is simply easier to get angry and let it out; especially if that sends a valid corrective signal to someone who is at fault. And even if the failure was just bad luck, it seem totally fine to be mad for a couple of minutes or hours. It is simply the way our brains have evolved to work and that's fine as long it is not harmful as long as nobody is harmed. Just be careful to not turn it into a constant state of anger because that will likely worsen your life rather than improve it. All of that can be subsumed under rationality.

I think Meetup used to have all the mindshare, then Facebook took a lot of event broadcast traffic away from Meetup.

Well, there were regulations in place, but due to a technicality, they no longer officially applied once home internet started arriving over cable/dsl/fiber as a networked service instead of dial-up.

Lots of people pointed this technicality out, and wanted to update the regulations to account for it. The ISPs, naturally, weren't too keen on that, so they spent a lot of money on lobbyists to say "everything is fine, if you add more regulation you will break the internet". Thing is, they couldn't really do this on the one hand while simultaneously selling the Waltons the keys to the e-commerce kingdom. They had to adhere to the norms established by regulations, mostly.

But 20 years later, they can pretend that there never were any regulations, and that these norms magically enforce themselves, so why regulate?

“Jacobs became aware that Uber thru Clark & Henley, had a sophisticated strategy to conceal, cover up or destroy docs w intent to impede govt investigations."

What does that even mean?

Does this mean that all Uber employees have been trained to 'communicate carefully', that their e-mails get deleted after X months, and that sensitive conversations that could hypothetically, and out of context, be held in person, as opposed to electronically?

If that's all it does, I would like to remind everyone - that's the kind of training that everyone in any Fortune 500 company receives.

> "Judge quotes Jacob's atty letter: Uber employees went to Pittsburgh to educate the AV group about ephemeral, encrypted communications "to prevent Uber's unlawful schemes from seeing the light of day""

Which parts of that are verbatim?

If someone who went through that training actually put the words 'our unlawful schemes' in an e-mail... Well, they are a complete idiot.

If it were anyone but Uber, this would be too comically inept to be true.
The Death of Big Software – ACM (paywall)
Microsoft makes it much easier these days to download an install image of Windows 10 that's devoid of non-Microsoft crapware. They're also kept up to date, so if you download Windows 10 ISO today, you will get version 1709 (fall creator's update).

And during an update [1] it seems smart enough to get most of the model specific drivers installed. The things that remain for one off download and install from the manufacturer web site are firmware updates.

The next time I do a clean install, I won't install HP's Support Assistant. It's OK UI/Ux, a bit laggy to discover what updates to apply, but more importantly it regularly fails to inform of and install firmware updates, even though they appear on that model's support page.

[1] Windows Update times are incredibly shitty. On a system fully updated as of 2017-09-25, and then not used at all (Fedora is my main OS) until last weekend, it took 7 hours and 6 reboots to get it updated. That includes one update with "Getting Windows Ready Don't turn off your computer" for 4+ hours. I have never had macOS or any Linux distro take more than 10 minutes for a minor update, or more than an hour (slow embedded spinning rust system) for a major version update. It's obscene and any wonder why people prefer to opt out and end up with riskier systems as a result.
