Isn't the final evolution of the Web supposed to resemble this? Looks normal to me. This happened to radio and television.

As long as Amazon/Target/Walmart fulfill my shopping needs, and as long as YouTUbe fulfills my video needs, I'm happy. I don't need to worry about other, lesser services.

Frankly, white listing websites might make the Web much safer.

There has been plenty of documented abuse. It's a big reason why there was a push for Title II in the first place.

And, besides that, why would that matter? If there's no abuse, then the regulation should not be causing any burden. If ISPs don't want to do things like paid prioritization, and other uncompetitive things, then why are they pushing to remove the regulation?
The only argument here is "it might not be necessary, so it's not worth the costs." Can anyone think of any actual costs? Unfortunately there is no substance in the "THE COST OF REGULATION" section.
Would you mind following the guidelines by only posting civilly and substantively?

So people in

- Healthcare tech

- Banking (tools internal to banks)

- Aerospace

- Government

- Academia (think: old internal course-registration tools or professor-used CMSes)

- Education

...are not valuable customers? Because those sectors, and many others, are famous for using old versions of software. IE9? Hell, some giant HealthTech companies mandate IE 6 for their customers with no signs of changing. All of those are areas where there is lots of money to be made.

There valuable customers in software that aren't only young, tech-literate people clicking on ads in a modern browser. Get outside the bubble.
> Equally difficult to measure is the inevitable rent-seeking that accompanies regulation, as incumbents find it easier to lobby regulators to foreclose competition instead of winning customers in an open market.

Yeah, really strong move by Pai, going against all ISPs wishes to keep Net Neutrality.

This story does not compute in its own logic.
I can’t tell if you’re talking about the FCC promising Forbearance with Title II classification, or if you’re talking about ISPs.
Awesome! I'm curious to try out your implementation. When I first stumbled upon Lucid early this year it seemed fascinating, but hard to wrap my head around by just reading the examples. I searched for a version that would work on today's machines but came up short.

I was reading up on streams as found in RxJS at the time, and though I am not yet an accomplished stream-wrangler their power is clear. Streams (or something like them, since Lucid's dataflows are different) be a core part of a language struck me as a good idea, and having only heard about Reactive Extensions in the past couple years it was surprising that the first example of first-class streams I encountered was 30 years old.

Don't get me wrong, I love sim racing and there is definitely a place for sim racing competition, but it's really no comparison to the real thing in my mind because of the high stakes contribution to the competition by hundreds of engineers, not just 1 driver.. the outcome is different teams really have different personalities and those personalities show through in the performance of their car, team, etc. through randomness of mechanical performance/failures, pit stop strategy/execution, team strategy/execution, and so many more dimensions than you will get in a sim competition. As the great Murray Walker said, "anything can happen in F1, and it usually does"
Arg. I feel like articles like this are calling me stupid with some statements. Like this doozy:

"T-Mobile treats all data the same, some data just doesn’t cost money"

I guess I'm too stupid to understand what "same" means. Or:

"Zero-rating [...] Customers loved it"

That's not enough. The argument is about small providers conforming to T-Mobile. What customers think is irrelevant I'm afraid. Then the author goes on to explain how it lowered prices. It's like arguing the FDA shouldn't regulate food at all, customers love unhealthy food, and the prices are lower on unhealthy food, so everything's perfect right?

I will say I somewhat agree on the earlier part of the article. I don't generally prefer premature regulations. But instead of asking "why do we need these when ISPs are mostly self-regulating?" since that cat is out of the bag we should be asking "why do we need to repeal these if they aren't harming the situation?" Of course the latter question won't be answered truthfully. The real answer, "so we can violate net neutrality" (or the "spirit of" or whatever).

It's strange to see someone argue against being prematurely reactionary whilst arguing for being reactionary in the other direction for something already on the books. Want a different approach w/ the FTC or congress or something? Then do that first, and then repeal the rules. Otherwise, leave well enough alone unless, as I suspect, the true motive is that the rules are preventing things ISPs want to do.
I said asset classes ;-) Bitcoin is not an asset in financial terms.
Ajit Pai is wrong and so is the author. He’s confusing safety and soundness regulation with economic regulation, and incorrectly asserting they’re equal. They are not.

Net neutrality is about the safety and soundness of the internet. What he’s saying is “hey it has been okay so regulation is bad until we have to have it. Because all regulation is bad.” That’s a pretty fucked and ignorant way of looking at regulation in my opinion.

It’s quite sad to see this getting upvotes.
The article discusses this stuff.

That said: guess what? The wireless carrier world currently has exemptions from net neutrality. It's the wired world where these rules apply.
I'd argue I have way less control on my OS on an iphone or an ipad than on a Windows machine. Not that I think it's ok to lock us out of our own hardware, but Windows is not the worst offender, by a huge margin.

Indeed, and I hate it.

I have a beloved 2015 MBP that I'm trying to keep alive, but it's becoming a little underpowered and it's not upgradeable. New MBPs are a non-starter with the port and keyboard situation and my coworkers all hate them. Then I have a maxed out XPS 13 which is a very nice and capable machine that suits me completely, except that it has a malicious OS that I have to constantly fight. And Linux doesn't support a lot of the tools I need.

So..... what's the solution here?

Excellent point. On the contrary. You don't even improve it +1000. If you are lucky you improve it +log(1000).
Secure employment is a huge assumption though. It may be true for you, but in general, owning a house reduces your liquidity and mobility. Those are the two things you need most during a downturn and with under-/un-employment.

The weight of the compressor is important, but one compressor could be driving lots of 'muscles' via opening and closing valves, so it isn't completely disingenuous. It's analogous to, say, a robot with six motors, all powered from a single battery.
The "big new thing" about this is that it doesn't use compressed air the way traditional air muscles do. It doesn't use compressed air at all.

You're probably going to say that vacuum pumps are noisy/heavy next. But this doesn't need traditional high-grade vacuum pumps, very low grade will work. And of course it is entirely moot for industrial machines that stand in place.

From what I can tell the trick comes from the pleating to massively increase surface area, giving atmospheric pressure more to work with.

Absolutely google can throw more people at the problem.

I'd settle for:

- Let me run multiple versions of an ad, run more of the one that has the best CTR.

- Once you've got my money, and have seen a few of my ads, never require approval again unless I've been bad.

- Label all graphs clearly.

- Give me an estimate of how many ads will show at various bids.
Surprising to hear. I’m in New Zealand and can’t think of any situation where I’m called by my last name. Once a staff member at a nice hotel called me by my last name and my 5 year old fell about laughing.

Did I miss some new proposal that Ajit Pai has put forward?

It is my understanding that "The rules Ajit Pai wants in place" were in place from sometime during the ninties or earlier, until 2015. That is, Ajit Pai merely wishes to undo a rule that was only in force from 2015 to the present.

Am I mistaken? Because I think the world you say you don't want to live in is the one we actually did live in for most of the history of the Internet, unless I'm missing something.
In Kotlin, every module contains either common code or platform-specific code. I'm not sure why you consider the module-level distinction to be less clean than being able to mix common and platform-specific code randomly within a single file.

And your example shows that there is no way to verify that each module provides a consistent API.
I am pretty sure this also uses some existing connectivity tech such as Apple's multipeer connectivity https://developer.apple.com/documentation/multipeerconnectiv...

At least IPFS guys open sourced everything for anyone to use. The "Open"garden people had the guts to name themselves "open" despite it being opposite of open.

Cryptocoins are strongly correlated, if one of the big ones goes down there is a high chance that most of them are going down.

The penalty will not protect the coin from a "bank run". The user must choose between getting the money now with a 1% cut, or waiting and extracting the money with a 2% cut, ..., or waiting until there is no money left.
Like the other person said, ETFs and index funds are a good start - risk there is you're not protected against market downturns, but you're diversified enough to not be exposed to more common risk factors.

A healthy work environment is not economically optimal. Not even close. It is optimal to take as much from your employees as possible and to give them as little as possible in return; the opposite of a healthy environment and healthy workforce. Amazon practices this efficiency behind the developer console as much as they do in their warehouses. They just can't treat their developers quite as bad as the warehouse workers have it yet because of a temporary market inefficiency -- a dearth of skilled developers.

The workplace is an area where if we let the market do its work, it causes social and moral catastrophe and forces all but the tiny few at the top to live in complete misery, which is why we fought and died over hundreds of years against optimal economic efficiency for worker protections, unions, weekends, worker's compensation, overtime pay, etc.
Yeah. It's providing a useful, widely accepted, and stable currency.

Even free market is a recent obsession. Societies historical had all kinds of protections, tariffs, and other measures (heck, not just Italian city states or Rome, the US itself had heavy tariffs, subsidies and such for most of its existence, until they established their economic and diplomatic dominance, and only then pretended like its all about the free market).

That's on top of the cultural, religious, civic and other restrictions on trade in the past.
That's called branding. The name was chosen to be appealing to the German people, not to be an accurate description of their form of government. Unless you think North Korea (official name "Democratic People's Republic of Korea") is actually a democratic republic, this should not be a difficult concept to understand.

You're right that the rules have only been in place since 2015, but you're wrong that we live the the same world we always have. The world has changed, and the rules should change along with it.
So the author is saying "look at this thing which people say violates net neutrality but not the net neutrality regulations as written" and uses that as an argument to get rid of the net neutrality regulations altogether? Does this make sense to anyone else? Zero rating is equivalent to charging more for non-zero-rated bandwidth.

Thanks, I was trying to find a good list but somehow couldn't.
"...it wasn’t a net neutrality issue at all: it was an early prototype of what is known as “zero-rating.”"

Zero-rating is a net neutrality issue. It gives preference to one service over others.
Don't be sorry, most of the ideas here match what we have explored or were about to explore.

How does everyone here buy/exchange bitcoin without giving every little bit of detail about themselves (e.g. bank account, driver's license, etc) away? Every time I look into it to buy online, I'm amazed by the sheer amount of PII information I would have to expose.
Where can I plot that? There has to be a website that has all that data that I can visualize.
Something like this would work great in an urban environment if enough apps used it. For non-urban environments the wifi range becomes a limiting factor. I'm hoping that LTE Direct becomes a thing, since it has a much higher range.

Kind of a separate idea, but if the hardware ever became cheap enough, it'd be great if the charger that shipped with these "LTE Direct" phones also included an LTE chip so that it could participate in the mesh. It would be great for disasters and also for overloaded network

That way you'd have a decent chance in a suburb to be able to have a no-data-plan-necessary mesh network for devices of preteens or other minor uses where paying for a data plan is too expensive. For example, a data connection for your entertainment system in your car.

In order to connect such a mesh to the Internet without having to worry about being the origin of someone else's traffic, the base stations would connect over wifi to their home access point. All traffic would be relayed over the Internet to the user's own base station, which would then send it to the destination. That way the mesh doesn't have to have a lot of traffic but someone can connect to the mesh without becoming the point of origin for potentially malicious traffic. It also would reduce the load on the mesh since traffic would only travel one or two hops.

That's not entirely wrong, but I think that engineers fall prey to negativity bias [1] in this area. There are tons of really complex tools that we don't hate on because we barely notice that we're using them. They're either things well-engineered enough that the complexity is mostly hidden (think JQuery equivalents), or less well-built things that we learned so early, or use so frequently, that we rarely notice having to deal with their complexity/poor engineering.

I really hate what seems to me a new trend of co-opting terms to muddy the waters and confuse the issues. This guy is not in support of NN. That's it.

Ideally we'd have so much ISP competition that NN wouldn't need be as necessary because the first company to propose splitting up the net would be laughed out of business.

But we've screwed that up, because there's hardly any ISP competition in America. NN makes sure they don't split up the net. Because we've seen before that they don't really care about the end consumer.
Not currently no. First of all, there's sort of two parts to "DNSCrypt", the typical DNSCrypt, which is Client<->Recurosor, and DNSCurve, which is Recursor<->Authority. The implementation is complex, and not well supported. I know that a number of people in the OpenNIC community to support DNSCrypt.

We've decided to go with TLS instead of DNSCrypt, since it's a well understood (and now RFC standardized protocol). While we're the first to support this publicly, we expect others to follow soon, which, combined with DNSSEC, will provide true security for DNS.
Are you suggesting that the desired effect is that the wired world becomes more like the wireless?

I suppose it depends on your geographic location, but I suspect many North Americans would say: no thanks.
Once you have clarified 'regulations', the parties involved will take advantage of them. This change is a clarification the other way that would explicitly allow activities that in the past were not encouraged.

On a laptop, ofc. All the secure stuff happens on external hardware, and the laptop at least allows using it.

Most banks in Germany allow HBCI, so you get an external chip reader, any HBCI-compliant software – be it StarMoney, or GnuCash/KMyMoney with the HBCI plugin – configure your account, and authorize API accesses via the card and PIN on an external keypad (which shows what you’re authorizing on its own display).

This is the average way a consumer does online banking, and it’s much more secure than on iOS.
Yes, he did. He rigged the comment period for this, and then basically said that public sentiment, which is overwhelmingly in favor of NN, doesn't matter, because he's going to do what the ISPs tell him to do. He then goes on to insult the intelligence of every single American out there with his "defenses" that do not make any logical sense, and do not actually address the problem. He is an example of the worst kind of regulator, and he deserves to be publicly shamed from now until eternity.
The thing you missed is that internet providers started to realize they may be able to squeeze more money out of both consumers and large corporates a few years back and that began to change their thoughts about how to make more money with a largely unregulated industry and Net Neutrality was put in place to preserve the internet's ability to innovate.

Let's not forget Ajit Pai was just a few years ago a corporate attorney working for ... wait for it ... a large ISP - And its very likely he will be again when his term at the FCC ends

Hi. Please look into toxic mold exposure.

It's a neurotoxin, it's virtually invisible, and has little mainstream awareness.

I had a pretty serious bout with this over the past 2 years, and was similarly frustrated with the vagueness of the symptoms (and correspondingly useless diagnoses from doctors.)

The symptoms are broad, systemic, varied, and hard to pin down, and most doctors aren't familiar with it, much less able to treat. My symptoms didn't exactly match up entirely to yours, but enough overlap to make me raise my eyebrows.

Several of my friends who (same as me) spent time in China had the same. (It's a high-mold environment.)

Please tweet/DM me @fieldse if this turns out to be helpful.
