The problem in my mind with the world of social media is that we can filter our content until we've created a bubble around ourselves and an echo chamber with only those who think like we do. It's important to be able to see things we don't agree with. It's important to that people with different opinion collide on social media and debate their ideas.
This is really damning stuff. It's not healthy when CEOs of major internet companies are scheming with activist journalists to use their companies to punish people who they have personal political disagreements with.

Full exchange reproduced below:

TechCrunch reporter: "Some tech billionaire, please buy out the local ISP(s) where FCC chairman Ajit Pai lives and give him 14.4k dial-up speeds for killing net neutrality"

CloudFlare CEO: "I could do this in a different, but equally effective, way."

TechCrunch Reporter: "Please, do go on..."

CloudFlare CEO: "sent note to our GC [general counsel] to see if we can without breaking any laws."

TechCrunch Reporter: "Thanks for doing your part and please let me know how this goes. If he wants an unregulated internet, he might not like what he gets"

CloudFlare CEO: "indeed"
Elaborate please.
Encryption is not a synonym for security, there are many ways your activities can leak and ISPs can still be biased against you if there are no rules to stop them.

For instance, they can decide you’re simply transmitting too much of this data that they can’t decrypt. They can observe the times of day you perform activities and guess what that means, e.g. heavy data use in evenings might be watching streaming content. They can look at addresses and infer activity based on what is going where. And they could even install a blanket ban on any data they can’t inspect unless it’s between some approved domains like banks with deep pockets.

You can’t just be comfortable with encryption. There’s no real security without net neutrality.

When you become comfortable with Rust and start relying on type inference heavily, Rust often feels very much like Ruby.
I would like to ask something.. cant we have estimates or analogies of same type like "internet servers now consuming more electricity than China" for example? I mean, its obvious! Any system wide available and requested, as internet or blockchain nodes to process transactions, based in computing which uses computers which are powered by energy, will spend energy to work. You guys are smart and I cant even comp to those maths on kilowatts etc, but really... I only see this electricity consumption GROWING as we are powering more and more systems, to be datacenters, vms, containers for the internet, same way to feed blockchain systems around the globe. I don't know if the point here is like "bad bitcoin it consumes energy" or just a pure analysis. cheers folks
Considering pointer arithmetic is unsafe, there are no other interpretations, I think? I can’t think of an example where this would mask a mistake in Rust.

As for confusion, both are accepted. I imagine clippy will eventually have advice on this situation. For example, clippy also warns you about taking a reference that the compiler immediatly dereferences.

I’m not sure what the long term plans are for clippy, but personally hope it’ll eventually be warnings in the official compiler.
That is not true. Maybe if you have money, and a lot of it. Even then therapy is no ultimate solution, most likely they'll just recommend you to take drugs that numb you down. The world is a horrible place, humans are horrible beings, life mostly sucks for the big majority of people. If suicide was not forbidden by religion or society I am pretty sure lot of people would op out and that for good reasons.
It wasn’t purely noble attempt. Arab Spring was actually driven largely by rising food prices and high unemployment. And it lead to some dangerous people getting in power. E.g. Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

Unrest in this part of the world will continue as the population is still rising fast, average age is very low so you get young unemployed population with no jobs and no money and basics such as food are rising in price. That is a recipe for more revolutions.

But revolutions and overthrowing of local governments won’t solve the underlying issues of these countries not being able to provide some reasonable standard of living to their population due to economic reasons.

It would be much safer to do incremental change and try to slowly build up local economies to create jobs for millions of young people. Violent revolutions will only further damage economic conditions and make situation worse in many cases.

Pai gave a pretty complete interview with Tech Policy Podcast yesterday and went in depth with much of what he was thinking.

Tech Policy Podcast: #206: The Future of Internet Regulation w/ FCC Chairman Ajit Pai http://podcast.techfreedom.org/e/206-the-future-of-internet-...

But, I think Robert Graham summed it up pretty well when he said "you believe the FCC should allow companies to bend the rules when it's in the interests of customers, then you don't believe in NetNeutrality." Lots of politics and emotion in the hysteria, very little sound reasoning.
Granted. But these things aren't rocket science.

There was a time when everyone managed to get by without building codes. Sure we had a few fires and collapses, but statistically speaking they were still outliers.

Don't let the 1% risk of bad hold you back from trying good, is my only point.
why this? because a trezor is more expensive than a safe you would keep inside your wall? how about travelling with the gold? how about moving a lot of gold lets say like a truck as the example already mentioned? I usually travel and take my trezor along when needed... and its still in the same safe behind the wall as I would keep a gold bar or something valuable.
I don't think it was 'mostly' about immigration, but there were other reasons as well. Of course I don't deny that immigration was a reason for many people to vote leave, but I don't think it is as cut and dry as you suggest.

For example this poll from the referendum shows that the no. 1 reason people voted to leave was 'decisions about the UK should be taken in the UK'

Edit: typo
Customer determines by requesting QoS for connection.

ISP sells service with fixed price that states what kind of QoS requests it can fulfill. Net neutrality prevents the ISP from setting them on their own.
Ok so I guess it's a trinary operator with two arguments combined that is able to use Option and Result for the test... I hope autoformatters keep stuff like that on one line!
It skips a block you'd need otherwise. Without it, you'd have to do something like:

fn try_option_some() -> Option<u8> {
if let val = Some(1) {
Some(val)
} else {
None
}
}

It's an early exit if the expression before is None/Error

Impressive artwork - did you outsource that Jon?
What reason do you have to doubt his account? I'm honestly curious.

To quote: He does not have a history being dramatic, emotional, manipulative. He does not have a history of having crazy outbursts and attention seeking behaviors. He is a quiet reserved isolated type, and he wasn't in any trouble at all. He wasn't a drug addict, a criminal, a thief. He wasn't a psycho borderline nutjob who randomly does random things. There is no reason to assume his suicide is motivated by any other reason than the one he is telling us, and that reason is this: he cannot cope with what happened to him as a child any longer and so he made the choice to end his life.
Aka don’t cook with it
My work has morphed from Erlang/C to Erlang/Rust and it's mostly Rust atm. I have enough experience to see the good and bad parts of Rust.

The mental effort of writing Erlang is an order of magnitude lower compared to Rust. While Rust is more fun, it does not and can not come close.

I'm not much for Java/Python/Ruby. I don't see those as productive as Erlang so Rust may be closer.
> If something isn't on the ribbon or in any of the subdialogs it's almost certainly because it's deprecated and only still exists for some obscure compatibility reason.

Am I using it wrong then? I don't dive into Office if I can avoid it, but just yesterday there was some Powerpoint function I needed that didn't appear on the ribbon.

Had to pull out the "everything" right/left boxes, add it to the ribbon, and then I could use it.

I know they've been trying to fix that with context, selected-object specific tabs that appear, but it still has a ways to go.
There was once a time when the iPod was still a thing where I could carry around my entire music collection that was larger than that.

> The FTC certain covers situations where ISPs use anticompetitive practices against potential competitors.

I thought the FTC tried to, but a SCOTUS ruling gave the sole responsibility for this to the FCC?
That's why the law should dissociate the "tubes" from the service providers. Let any company operate on the infrastructure with their own policies as long as they rent the lines, and the lines should be traffic agnostic by definition.
America cannot be divided by D and R. Nobody fits cleanly in either category if they have any independent thought. It's completely ridiculous that my views on internet regulation should be aligned with my views on the school system.

Our government might just need to be completely rebuilt to include more granularity. And we should toss these lossy classifiers that only serve to dehumanize one another.
I hope so, it was so sad to see this region fall to power plays by various large and medium sized nations. Fending that off while a revolution is occurring is a challenge though!
Step 1: Try to convince the FCC to not vote to kill NN.

Step 2: Call your members of Congress and tell them to enshrine NN into law.

Step 3: Vote your Rep out next year if they refuse to do what you ask for.

Step 4: Vote out the President in 2020 if he vetoes NN.

Pretty straightforward, imho.

Fixed precision floating point arithmetic is useful when you work over a large range of numbers and care about relative accuracy. That makes them also useful when the range is not known. However, the range is not irrelevant. Violating the allowed range can lead to bad accuracy, and shifting the numbers via a factor into the limitations can improve accuracy. From what you say, this happened in your case; the numbers got too small and you shifted them into the supported range, which is 2^(−126) to (1 − 2^(−24)) × 2^128 for IEEE 754-2008 32 bit numbers.

it was you, best of luck
You seem intent on painting a picture more than reading what I actually wrote:

>Through discussing the vote with the other leavers I know, not once was immigration mentioned as a concern

You seem to be a bit obsessed with backing everything with data. Do you want me to make a survey for the people I've spoken to? I'm not trying to say "immigration is not the issue and I have proof!", I'm saying that immigration isn't the issue for everyone, and that there are people in the main HN - reading demographic (and more than just me and the 5 I know, although I'm sure you're going to ask for a citation) that A. Don't match the image in your head and B. Didn't vote the way they did as some kind of attempt to lock out immigrants.

Your suggestion that discussions can only be had by providing data is just not true. If I were trying to assert a claim large enough to need a sample size then sure, but I'm not.

That absolutely is a problem with the existing rules. Some people pointed that out when they were proposed.

But the existing rules solve some problems, just not all of them. And you don't go forward by going backward.
It's desirable from the standpoint of consistency, given that the following equivalent code has always worked:

let mut x = 2;
let y = &8;
x = x + y;

What mistakes could this be masking? I can't think of any.
I'll shortcut my rant about the focus on cheese and moving thereof by noting that we're talking about two different things.

If any option is buried in an archaic path, that's not a well-formed system of discoverability to me.

I could care less that the top 90% of functionality is front-and-center, because I'm still going to use the remaining 10% once a week. And if it takes 100x as long as finding something on the ribbon and requires non-intuitive logic (because see previous comment about deprioritizing deep discoverability), then that's what I'm going to remember.
I was allowed to walk to and from school by myself every day. Not only that I spent a great deal of time not under my parent's gaze. In fact most people are raised outside of this situation you are imagining.

Just as a point of reference, here in Germany, the police would have just left the suspect be. They already knew his name, and therefore his address, so they would have just filed a report and the prosecutors would have sent him a letter.

As an dual citizen that grew up in America, this is shocking to me, but it seems to work here in Germany. Of course, Germany has national address registration and doesn’t the same level of gun ownership..

Like a lot of concepts that are meant to improve communication and understanding, NVC can be "weaponized" to have the exact opposite effect, especially when put into practice by beginners in highly-charged emotional contexts. It can also come across as passive-aggressive to those who are unfamiliar with the practice. Maddeningly, it can be very difficult to distinguish between these two situations. It really needs understanding and buy-in from both parties to be effective, in my experience. (It's also damn hard to learn from a book. Much better if you have an experienced and empathetic friend who's willing to teach you.)

I've been looking through your comment history and the majority of stuff you say is unsubstantiated, provocative, and immediately refuted by comments 5x longer than yours with a bunch of sources because your original comment sounded informed but was actually way off base. Your six comments on this story fit this pattern as well.
I think you are not familiar with the circumstances that the majority of the people on earth survive through. Living in a van in the US, assuming a moderate income, sounds far preferable to what many others endure.

What I think you are assuming is that this lifestyle goes hand-in-hand with poverty, in which case the people living it would probably be worse off if forced to sacrifice an even greater portion of their income on living expenses. Why would an older person, assuming equal income, be worse off in a van in the case of a medical emergency? Just call an ambulance like anyone else would.

And by the way, old people practically pioneered the art of van living -- it's called an RV!

> I've never seen these lifestylers put serious thought into what goes wrong.

Then you're not looking, because even as an outsider with a casual interest in this lifestyle I've come across many thoughtful resources online as well as candid accounts from people actually living in vans.
I find Rust to be about as productive as Scala (which I find to be generally more productive than Java). Both are generally functional, with a powerful type system, with a lot of flexibility in the level of abstraction, with an expansive preexisting ecosystem you could shim in (C or JVM).

However, I don't think Rust is a more productive general programming language than Ruby/Python. I think Rust is more productive when solving systems-level concerns, but most problems aren't systems problems. Crystal is also looking to be a nice compromise for a productive, C/C++ level performance language (if the ecosystem catches up).
Trouble is, Ajit gets up there and talks about competition being good for the consumer, and then all the rightwingers echo that "Bigly". As wrong as this is, it will be hard to vote someone out if the facts are muddled.
Repetition (like in DRY) is duplication without reuse. When I think of duplication in the negative sense, I think of repetition, not reusing a module or library. Another negative thing with duplication is taking up more disk space, but a good file system will take care of that! Then there is "DLL hell", or "library hell" where two programs use the same library, but different versions ... How do you reuse without duplication ?
