How is $120M enough to do this? At a 4% withdrawal rate that's about $5M a year.

They say the average student is graduating with 23,810 in debt. That's about $6k per year assuming a typical 4 year undergraduate schedule.

$5M / $6k = enough to cover ~833 students.

According to https://www.brown.edu/about/facts, Brown has 6,580 undergraduates.

Seems like they'll need about 8x this much money to accomplish their goal?

Hope I don't immediately get downvoted for this comment.

Wouldn't the right "fix" for the issue be encouraging more competition and figuring out why we only have 1 or 2 providers . That way we won't need an extra govt rule to protect neutrality and the market will solve this issue on its own?

I live in a mid size indian city and we have about 8-10 providers ( not sure if they are just subcontractors or what).

This is already how it is de-facto. Anyone who has done web promotion knows that if Google decides you shouldn't get traffic anymore, you don't get traffic anymore. Platform control is at the center of every tech company's goal because it makes them the kingmakers, and if there's a killer new feature from an up-and-coming startup, they can and will shamelessly copy it into their platform and neuter the startup in the next release. Getting "Netscaped" is just routine business in tech now.
That's not what you do. You have piles of each at each exchange and arb between the piles. Long transfers you do rarely to keep piles the same if the trading doesn't.

Thanks for your comment. In short, we agree. We have recently been working with OpenSidewalks (https://www.opensidewalks.com/) on figuring out the best way to integrate our data into OSM. We have also been communicating with Wheelmap.org, which is complementary to our efforts as it focuses on POIs rather than sidewalks/streets.

Our progress is slower than we'd like but we are purely an academic project and our team is comprised solely of students and faculty. We are quite resource constrained and so must manage our goals carefully. Plus, we are OSM neophytes and so we are slowly learning about the community and possibilities.

Oh, and though Google provided some initial funding for our project--via a Google Faculty Research Award--they have never, at any point, restricted what we do or aim to do or how we do it.

Thanks again for your feedback. I hope that in 2018 we can focus more of our efforts on OSM integration. If you're connected to that community, would love additional pointers. Thanks.

>We need the protection of NN, it's the only thing keeping the entrepreneurial spirit alive in this country

Maybe in startup land, but this is blatantly untrue. The entrepreneurial spirit is doing just fine, it's just that people are starting unsexy sustainable small businesses and not SV-style startups. Losing NN isn't going to be an existential crisis for a lot of businesses like that, although it would most likely still be painful.

No disagreements on your larger points regarding the FCC and NN. It's disgusting that there's so much widespread dislike among the populace for the ISP-centric direction everything is going.

There are UBI plans that are definitely not equivalent to NIT plans. Some UBI plans require UBI to be taxable income for them to work. In that way they become more like guaranteed short-term (year long) loans for upper middle class/rich tax brackets. There's no similar proposal from the NIT side.

I feel like there isn’t much ‘clash’ (debate term) between what you’re saying and Ben Thompson’s article.

Ben isn’t attacking the concept of Net Neutrality, he’s instead attacking Title II classification. Ben puts forward a few arguments.

First, he starts off with an offensive piece of matter, that regulatory burden from the 2015 Title II classification has a cost, and that cost is felt innovators who want to enter the market and by everyone who’s deprived of those potential services.

This directly removes small businesses chance to WIN — the ‘entire point of net neutrality’ as you put it.

Secondly, Ben attacks the notion that things in our pre-2015 status quo were bad enough to warrant Title II classification and the regulatory harms he outlined. He does this by showing that no significant harm existed before 2015, and by showing that the regulation has no solvency.

Ben shows three examples of net neutrality issues resolving themselves in the free market before these regulations were in place, showing that these harms were already in check. Then, even better than just a listicle of past cases, he gives you a mechanism that disincentives companies from violating net neutrality. Because of their fixed costs, they’re not in the market of alienating users.

Small businesses still don’t have the chance to WIN — the ‘entire point of net neutrality’ — in 2015 regulation because more harm is caused by zero rating, which isn’t affected by the 2015 classification.

You make a claim that ‘the rules Ajit Pai wants in place’ would allow Walmart to buy out Amazon at the ISP level.

Again, this is an example of something that the status quo wouldn’t have allowed to happened. You’re ‘postulating about future harms and foregone opportunities’ and then creating policy, but we already have a robust system to stop this behavior. FCC complaints like Vonage & Madison River solve, anti-trust solves, and our media ready-and-willing to raise a ruckus solves again.

I should also add that Ajit Pai isn’t proposing rules, he’s proposing removing rules, and going back to pre-2015 internet days. If the worst example you can come up with is a hypothetical Amazon vs Walmart, instead of a literal example, even though we lived in that world for 25 years, I think that speaks volumes.

You're not screwing yourself, you're taking responsibility. Financial aid comes with strings as well as a highly invasive personal finance anal exam called FAFSA (which database I'm sure will get hacked and disclosed at some point, if it's hasn't already, as most other big government databases have).

If you can pay your own way you avoid all that.
There are laws against all of these things but people do them anyways. The majority of people purchasing drugs on the black market are never caught. I'm sure your buddy could pull a tooth for you if you are both smart enough not to tell anyone. You can buy scrap metal in private transactions for cash without ID.

Driving on the public highway with no insurance and no way to financially settle any potential accident is not an innocent person doing no harm. They're externalizing their responsibility onto whoever they collide with.

I know this is an ideological discussion and not a practical one, but my response to that is a lot of laws are in place because the harm the bad actors do when there are no consequences outweighs the potential benefit gained from a lack of regulation.
I also had a bad experience with this feature on a rental car a couple years back (I think it was a Nissan).

My problem was that I kept my key in my pocket, sat down, the key slid out onto the floor, I drove around which i could still do because the key was in the right area, but then I had a heck of a time trying to find the key so I could lock everything when I got out.
It's worth pointing out that the FreeBSD implementation (on AMD64) only promotes 4kB pages to 2MB pages and doesn't transparently promote to 1GB pages.

Given alc@ was an author on the paper (and the paper's FreeBSD 4.x implementation supported multiple superpage sizes), I'm not really sure why FreeBSD's pmap doesn't have support for 1GB page promotions.
It doesn't follow that because there haven't been any large trust-busting actions since 1980's that the laws don't still cover the behavior.
So if we took away 1% of that 1000x it's own weight it would be able to lift it? It can't. It will never be able to. Only thing I got out of my engineering dynamics class - ropes don't lift. Well, that and jokes about couple moments.

A lift is not a hold. A human can hold a ton of weight against gravity, but that's not them lifting it. See the squat. You can put a huge amount of weight on your back compared to the amount you can actually move. If you put them on an escalator, they could probably even move a distance with it. But that isn't them lifting it that distance.
Isn't Pai just advocating going back to the pre-2015 regulatory structure? Was the internet really so bad prior to 2015?
i absolutely hate this story every time i see it. it's so filled with hyperbole and general fawning that it contains nothing useful. and i am sure bezos is indeed intelligent, but this story's climax is him pointing out something relatively mundane in what i am sure was a mundane presentation. and i still have the same question i did when i first saw this on hacker news. who is steve yegge and why should i care?

I would call Bitcoin a "speculative asset" right now, actually. Compared to major currencies, it is highly volatile.

Bitcoin also is, in some sense, similar to a fiat currency (Bitcoin has no intrinsic value) without having the typical fiat currency backing (a supporting government, complete with armies, laws and their enforcement agencies, etc. sponsoring the currency). This adds a degree of risk to Bitcoin most other currencies do not have.

Definitely I'd see it as an asset though.

My team is responsible for outage communication for a wide range of Cloud products. We want to post publicly within minutes and with a low rate of false positives and negatives (false positives are noise for customers, negatives result in customer stress). There are lots of business factors that change the way we need to post, so it's not a trivial process.

So over the last few years we have built, used and iterated on a checklist for this. It has been pivotal in meeting our goals here.

It depends on the stock. I'm referring more to stocks with a high chance of going to zero (like early stage biotech) than small cap high vol stocks

There's a subtle difference between market timing and adjusting your portfolio as risk / reward changes. As an example, suppose you invest in a stock thinking it will give you a 40% return in one year. The stock does just that, and in a year it has risen 40%. At that higher price, the risk / reward is no longer the same as it was, and you will need to re-evaluate that investment. However, many people just hold on to these stocks because they made money without rationally re-evaluating their investment vs other options

probably didnt make that as clear in the above

in any event, investing strategy is based on personal goals. if your personal goal is to protect yourself more against a recession, selling risky assets is a good way to do so
I find the government regulating the ISPs to stop them from killing competing businesses is not increasing my dependence on the government. I do depend on the government to stop corporations from forcing me to depend on their products while stopping competitors from entering the market. [1]

Just a single look at the governments who actually do regulate their Internet will lead you to the same conclusion. You don't want your Internet to be like Portugal?

> prior to the rule change in 2014 did we have such a problem?

No, we didn't, mostly because ISPs didn't have the technical capability or demonstrate the intent to violate net neutrality. We didn't need rules to stop people from doing something they were simply incapable of doing.

Once they got that ability, and showed signs they would use it, we needed the rules.

The better question here is why are ISPs lobbying so hard for the right to do something they are also promising they would never do? Companies don't fight to overturn regulations they have no interest in violating. Or, at the least, if they do they tend to make a better argument for why that's happening.
The following blog post[1] should be required reading for everyone everywhere. It talks about physical constraints on economic growth.

The main point he makes is that, regardless of how inexhaustable our sources of energy are, increases in our rate of energy use are still necessarily limited.

He notes:

1. Economic growth is always accompanied by increase in energy consumption.

2. Nearly all energy consumption (whether that be running current through computer chips, burning fuel in combustion engines, or just metabolizing food) has the effect of heating the surrounding land, air, or water.

3. If humanity's rate of energy use increases 2.3% every year, then the associated heat dissipation will be enough to cook us all within about 4 centuries.

4. Economic growth without an increased rate of energy use is not obviously impossible a priori, but it's definitely hard to imagine.

Am I missing something or is the fix a little computer in the fob to cryptographically sign a one-time challenge sent by the car? I mean, RSA isn't that hard, is it?

Here's how I see it: the car broadcasts a (short duration) challenge message on short range (10 meters, say), the key fob, once in range, signs the challenge message, transmits it, the car checks the signature with the fob's known public key, and Bob's your uncle. If the fob can compute a signature of the challenge in 500ms, the window doesn't need to be much longer. Sure, people will likely be able to pull private keys from the fob with some effort, and duplicate it that way, but that's no worse than today. Reprogramming the car wouldn't significantly harder than it is today either.

If we want convenience and security, it seems fine to make the key fob a little more complicated and beefy.

I feel like this is by no means a new idea and maybe I'm missing something.

edit: I was missing something.
