> 1. Even if it prevents some of the worst abuses by incumbents, net neutrality regulation isn't going to create more competition.

Agreed, but net neutrality regulation never claimed it would. The concept of net neutrality accepts the fact that we do not (and cannot) have a free, competitive market for internet access, and tries to ensure that incumbents do not engage in anti-consumer practices that they wouldn't be able to do _if_ it were possible to have sufficient competition.

> 2. I think most people would agree that the Internet should generally remain a level playing field for all businesses.

> However, it's not clear that net neutrality regulation is necessary to maintain such a level playing field.

It's not, but no one seems to have any better ideas. Simply ditching net neutrality is nearly guaranteed to erode that level playing field. I'd be happy to entertain other ideas to maintain it, but no one seems to be presenting those, and the FCC is removing something useful without proposing an effective replacement (or any replacement at all, for that matter).

> It wasn't necessary in the past.

Wasn't it? Isn't the current net neutrality regulation a direct response to anti-consumer behavior by ISPs?

> Moreover, there is potential for consumer benefit associated with some kinds of content discrimination, which net neutrality regulation might unjustly prohibit.

The only benefit I can think of is short-term "lock-in" type behavior: stuff like Spotify streaming not counting toward your data cap. All that does is make Spotify more enticing and get users locked in, all due to an entirely synthetic advantage.

While this provides a short-term benefit to the customer, it provides long-term negatives as Spotify's competitors are forced out of the market, and new upstart competitors don't stand a chance.

Uncapped streaming is a fairly minor thing they could do (some streaming services already do this, and I'm pissed they're able to get away with it) and likely wouldn't hurt competitors enough to kill them, but unwinding net neutrality regulations would allow them to engage in crippling anti-competitive behavior, like making deals with ISPs to charge _their_ customers more for access to other streaming services.

> The reality is that if the US broadband industry was competitive we wouldn't be having this argument. We should fix that first, then see if we still need net neutrality regulation.

We can't. It is absolutely not in the public's interest to allow just anyone to dig up roadsides and bury cable, and radio spectrum is too scarce a resource to allow robust competition. Do you have any ideas as to how to get around that?
I really hope Apple is working on those glasses, and hard. This product category, the speaker, is a hard one for Apple, much because the Apple Watch basically is a wearable Siri. What however worries me, is that Apple has yet to be able to make Siri an attractive product. I mostly just use it to set timers.. Doing something with a virtual assistant seldomly will include only voice, except basic tasks such as setting reminders, timers etc. one-off commands, basically. Other things, more complex tasks, mostly require multiple actions, and a screen, like on the Apple Watch or iPhone will let you browse and select those tasks.

We have hailed the voice interface as “the next big thing”, but think about it; what are you actually doing through voice today? Not much. What have we historically been doing through voice? Getting information, browsing information, that might for instance lead to a purchase or other actions, mostly have been done either in person (in a shop), through some sort of purchasing form in a catalog, or more recently on a screen. Why? Because the voice is a low-bandwidth interface. One-off commands are fine, because they aren’t limited (as much) by the bandwidth of this interface, but anything more complex doesn’t really work.

Think about voice as an interface over a phone call, it’s not really good enough. It’s always better to meet someone in person, than just talking on the phone. Why? Because we get to use our eyes, and we get to express emotions. The interface has higher bandwidth. The screen is not the same thing, but it has much higher bandwidth than the voice alone. When you think about the phone or the watch, you can have both voice and the screen, whereas on a speaker you can not.

I’m not sure what I am trying to say, just thinking aloud, I guess.

If someone called me up and said, "I've got a software development contract opportunity for you in Country X, $1000/hr, job should be about 6 months." My ass would be on a plane that afternoon. So much for the shortage of software developers.
I think the most important point here is that with those different patch sets, the more security-conscious users/companies get to have the properly hardened version immediately into use, rather than running the "only report" versions for what might be years, as you say.

Granted, I'm looking at this from a perspective where our company compiles our own kernel for use in embedded devices, so we can have whatever patch sets supported we want. But I think that's much better than everyone having to use the "report only" patches for years, or even worse, the features never getting into the kernel in the first place.
At the moment the post I’m replying to is in the grey, perhaps because it comes off as aggressive.

But the underlying claim is true.

Filing a bug report takes effort, including: reproducing the bug, doing my best to isolate the circumstances in which it occurs, checking for existing reports of the same issue, and (if none are found) writing up as clear a report as possible. It creates a social obligation to follow up on responses from the maintainers, especially if I want to encourage them to pay attention and fix the bug. In particular, that may involve delving into the design of the code and figuring out the true nature of the problem, or what a proper fix would look like - which is almost invariably more complicated than it initially appears. And for all that, it generally comes with no guarantee that the bug will be fixed or even the report looked at. Even if the bug is fixed, it usually won’t be fixed quickly enough to obviate the need for me to work around it or deal with it somehow. In other words, filing the report probably won’t help me much; I do it more for the benefit of anyone else who runs into the same problem in the future.

I get a sense of satisfaction from filing good bug reports, but it’s enough effort,for little gain, that it takes very little to make me lose interest and go spend time on something else instead. In the case of build2, I’m not even unfamiliar with mailing lists - I run a mailman instance myself - but I don’t regularly contribute to any projects that handle bug reports over email, so it would be an unfamiliar process, which is more than enough of an ‘obstacle’. I’d also get mildly stressed out thinking about the proper etiquette for mailing lists (should there be a greeting?), although that’s more of a personal quirk. And then there are the “posting guidelines”…

Other people may be less socially inhibited than me, but then, a lot of people have much less experience with mailing lists than me (e.g., for many, exactly zero).

Thus, regardless of what ought to be true or what’s reasonable or fair to maintainers, in practice, I strongly suspect that any given bug in build2 has a lower chance of being reported than it would have with a more GitHub-like process. (That may or may not actually equate to actual missed bug reports, because the community seems to be small enough to make for a low sample size.)
And what specific benefits did you get from this? What actionable insights did you get that your colleagues missed out on?

I've known quite a few monday morning quarterbacks/sophomore kremlinologists/cynics who would regale anyone who'd listen with their analysis of what management is really doing and (especially) what they obviously should have done. What is less clear is how this deep insight ever led to any actionable intelligence at all.

Definitely agree with the rest of your comment. Not sure about this bit though, I love the HN community but I think we're a pretty homogenous bunch. I would guess a lot of us work in technology, relatively well-educated, relatively wealthy, left-leaning, english speaking etc.

> However, it's not clear that net neutrality regulation is necessary to maintain such a level playing field.

Yes it is.

> It wasn't necessary in the past.

There have been abuses already. I don't expect ISPs will dive into full-blown abuse immediately, but they will ease their way into it.

> Moreover, there is potential for consumer benefit associated with some kinds of content discrimination

Could you give an example, because I certainly can't think of any.

> The reality is that if the US broadband industry was competitive we wouldn't be having this argument. We should fix that first, then see if we still need net neutrality regulation.

Absolutely! That is exactly the problem I was trying to express. To abolish net neutrality while the market is in this state is clearly a bad idea.

Abolishing net neutrality will not do anything to promote a competition, so it's important that we start finding things that will.
why not just pick a direction and start travelling. How does this theory even work, do they have notions of where (they believe) the edges are?

7 Super Tools to Make Life Better for Business Leaders
You are right that it's an oversimplification.

And you are right that real competition between Internet providers would solve the problem, better than net neutrality regulations do.

However, the most important point is that we have net neutrality rules right now.

The chance of somehow achieving meaningful competition between Internet providers in the United States is vanishingly, infinitesimally small.

The actual conversation isn't "net neutrality vs. competition", it's "oligopoly with some restrictions imposed on their behavior vs. unfettered oligopoly".

If Reddit is anything to go by, a lot of people are being asked to contact their representatives. For a number of people, it won't be their first time contacting a rep on this very issue, so it's clearly going to be an ongoing battle.

Kind of. I've seen the approach of building on top of ROS and incrementally replacing the weakest link work well. You end up with something that feels academically wrong to be in production spaces, but you also end up with something that actually sold and shipped. Establishing a product feedback loop sooner is more valuable than selling a technically "correct" product.

Also it's TCP (or UDP if you want) not HTTP. ROS2 does one better with DDS.

That used to be the tendency, yes, but according to Jonathan Haidt at https://heterodoxacademy.org, "the left" has caught up to "the right"/conservatives in the number of scientific topics they deny outright, and it has happened in the last 5 years.

So very recently, and unless you've been to college in those years, you won't be aware of it.

Not really, for me it lacks a few key points:

- Be really decentralized. To share code between a team without the need of a central repository to hold the shared code.

- Be safe by default. I mean, to make sure that a PR done by someone is not a PR done by just a guy that took the same email as me.

- Better support of large (>100mb) binary files.

If I understand correctly, the "standard" theory is that the edges are walls of ice in Antarctica. Rather than the ocean surrounding Antarctica, it is Antarctica that surrounds the ocean that surrounds all the rest of the land.

As for what is beyond the walls of ice... That's for another rocket to find out.
If the stacks each get transport layer copies of what's incoming and the hidden stack gets to also see all that is outgoing and produce its own frames, it should not be hard, and I think that's the level of interference we should assume at least. The hidden stack could listen in on DHCP communication to figure out what address to assume and act on any incoming packets as necessary, and until it actually sends something it would be invisible to your network. When it does send something it could then easily be with one of the addresses assigned to the non-hidden stack.

It is not much different in concept from a normal layer 1 switch. Everything gets repeated and the recipients discard what they're not interested in.

I don't think Apple is viable for a lot of users.

For one it's more expensive, I have to pay a hefty price to get a recent Iphone, compared to being able to get a usuable android phone starting at 100€ or less.

Additionally, I'm a primarly linux user and from what I've gathered, Linux is not supported by Apple at all, rather, you have to buy into the Apple ecosystem to properly use an iphone.

Which is the third point; to use an iPhone I need to become part of the Apple ecosystem while most Android phones interop with any OS and Hardware relatively straightforward most of the time.
How to Find Travel Blogging Sponsorships and Travel the World for Free
First things first: Kernels panic and processes crash. If your medical equipment or telco/ISP system can't recover from that then you're in trouble anyway. Why they crash doesn't really matter in that context.

As far as voting machines go, kernel panic sounds waaay better than executing malicious code.

> Imagine a security f*ck up, like Heartbleed, but this time with an option to halt kernels / systems.

IIRC heartbleed didn't allow you to execute code (it allowed you to read more memory than you should have been able to). A better example is every flash player bug ever. Would you rather that thing crashes or executes malicious code? Keep in mind that the malicious code can also shut down your system.

Also keep in mind that we're talking about userspace programs right now. This thread is about kernel bugs. Userspace programs already have the option to ask the kernel to kill them if they misbehave. A lot of them do that (using features like seccomp filter) and many more should. (Chrome and Firefox both use seccomp filter I think.)

Secrets at scale – Vault, Kubernetes and multi-cloud
On a Linux .0 release, it's not that uncommon for fs corruption bugs. I remember quite a few of these.

Best to only upgrade Linux when the next release is already out (e.g. 4.15 out to consider 4.14). Or just use something else.
I don't buy the argument/implication that it's somehow hypocritical to oppose something while actively benefiting from it, as long as one is upfront about that fact.

For example, say that we have genuinely useful medical information as a result of Unit 731 experiments and similar crimes (which may or may not be the case; I have no idea). There's no contradiction if one person supports using those existing results to save lives while simultaneously opposing further collection of such results.

Another example: I personally eat a lot of meat (keto/LCHF), but even so I might support legislation to ban killing animals for food or sport, because the personal sacrifice would only be worth it to me if it came attached to a systemic change.

Hi, I helped write this post.

We could have been more clear in the post but the availability gain here is focussed on internal tasks. As an example, we retry failed payments on a user defined schedule - we'd like to be able to do that from anywhere we choose.

I experimented with different email addresses for different purposes and came to the same conclusion.

Then again, perhaps SPAM isn't that lucrative anymore. You might earn much more by selling profiles these days. This only dawned on me after disqus has been hacked and 'lost' personal information such as e-mail addresses (my personal one among them).

What criminals could do now is simply collect breaches, put them into a database and make "e-mail" the join criteria for a query. Based on the output they can generate comprehensive profiles of people that weren't available on the market before.

Date from 'shop a' may reveal my DOB and my real name, Data from disqus allows them to extract what values I hold and so on...

In a way they bank on not sending you spam, because if they would you may change your e-mail and they are thrown off the track ;)

Beamforming in a device of HomePod size is a joke. Yamaha builds sound projectors (as they brand them) for years and "smaller" models still can't do this. Their first model in lineup that actually has beamforming capabilities that works is a bigass soundbar more than a meter long with 20+ speakers of all sizes and fancy algos to calculate spatial configuration. And it requires that it should be put in a specific room size and plan, in a specific position. Next model has like 50 speakers and is even bigger. This HomePod is just another small wireless speaker, I don't think it is possible to do any high quality music with it or beamforming.
If I recall correctly, having looked for such solutions in git a few years back, most of bug tracker management in a git repository project were either uncompleted or unmaintained.

Perhaps you should start reading this thread once more, starting with untog's daycare story. Then you might see why the financial facts are important.

It's not because any specific fine can ever be adequate compensation for all the suffering caused by the cartels. It's because you want the fine to be large enough to actually deter bad behavior in the future.

In this particular case I believe the fine (perhaps in combination with the threat of other regulatory action) has changed HSBC's behavior as there are many stories about erroneously frozen HSBC business accounts.

I just wonder if any number of deaths will ever change the behavior of the politicians who designed the disastrous war on drugs policies that have so utterly failed. I fear that won't happen as long as voters don't care about facts.
