the technicalities I was referring to is that the federal anti-trust laws have been interpreted (contorted) to disregard regional monopolies. If Verizon, ATT & Comcast each own 30% of the national market, non-overlapping regions,
even if customers in those regions have zero choice of broadband provider, the ISPs are not technically a monopoly in terms of regulations that can be applied.

Another problem is that anti-trust law does not really regard for speed/quality/cost of service for internet. If your home is served for internet by Comcast at 50 Mbps or ATT DSL at 1Mbps or expensive high-latency satellite at 3 Mbps, well that's not a monopoly even though Comcast is really your only choice for what is socially considered a normal internet speed.
No, it isn't correct in context.

There's an implicit premise that it's alright to strip regulations to return to the prior state because you will return to the prior state. But in this case you won't return to the prior state (see the regulatory history I pointed you to), which is where the problem is.

If we were going back to the defacto 2015 internet, no one would care. But we aren't doing that. Pretending that we are by framing the issue as a rollback is intentionally deceitful by people who know better.

H.265 does not have a clear path to victory over VP9. Even with only YouTube serving VP9 I suspect it's already much more widely used than H.265. Given the current state of the world it seems more likely that Apple will be forced to support VP9 in Safari than the other browsers being forced to support H.265.
I think yes, because the "thing for race" cuts both ways (appears in both anti-racists and racists) -- and makes race all the more apparent (instead of something that should be inconsequential).

There's quite a difference between the 5-41% jump in this first comment, and the 8-23% jump you read in the stats dragonwriter posted.

That was precisely dragonwriter's point in the other thread (I can't nest there any further): your unmarried statistic was not particularly germane.

Further, your comment don't quite make sense in context. OP shows how the statistics in the article shows fathers have become more involved. You say they can't actually be more involved because they're not around?
I don't think that makes sense, if I had a longish method or a task that could be decomposed into smaller pieces to clearly identify what's happening I would prefer to break it up and test those pieces if it made sense. Obviously this depends on how you do it. DDD talks about this in terms of services and such which might be what your long function really is. In which case you _do_ have to test this large chunk of logic.

One of the things our kids did was Riekes Nature Studies[1] which gave them one day a week where they spent in a variety of activities with other kids in a large park nearby (Huddart Park in Woodside). This became one of their favorite things to do because not only were many friends present, the facilitators were excellent at engaging the interests in a wide variety of kids. I remember "forcing" my youngest daughter to go and once she went she couldn't stop talking about how great it was and developed many friends that persist to today.

As a parent I came to realize that kids are unlikely to try new things spontaneously if they already have an activity they could be doing which meets their expectations of interest. So as a parent it was incumbent on me to give them the exposure to new experiences in order for them to develop their own understanding of what they did and didn't like.

I constantly tell Siri to add a Reminder to the Reminders app for something I need to do. I specify a time that I need to be reminded and I'm automatically reminded. I used it over Thanksgiving to tell me when to put each dish into the oven or when to take them out. It was awesome! Anytime I think of anything, I just raise my watch and say "Hey Siri, Remind me at <time> to do <task>". That way I never forget, there's no book to lose or checkboxes to uncheck at the start of each day.
If the alien organism originally evolved independently of life on Earth, then analyzing its genetic material - its equivalent of DNA - would tell us a lot.

We haven't yet found any organisms on Earth that have evolved independently, so an organism found in space that has a different genetic structure from Earth life would be a good bet for being alien in origin.

An alternative, albeit unlikely, possibility is that Earth life was originally seeded from somewhere else - panspermia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panspermia.

In that case, Earth life and (some) alien life would have a common origin, and we'd have to examine the differences in its DNA to find out more about its history.

Even in that case, it ought to be possible to determine that the organism had branched off from Earth life long enough ago to make it a candidate for alien life.
> Isn't mass reporting done by people a form of activism. Don't know why you want to diferentiate, activism doesn't have to be "good".

Any kind of "mass reporting" should be blocked, regardless of the motivation. The only question when evaluating a report should be is it of a valid guideline violation or not.

The core problem here seems to be that Facebook doesn't have a human in the loop to filter the bad reports from good. Maybe they do have a human in the loop, but that human isn't trustworthy. In any case, their system clearly needs more work.
I have been using Firefox for several months, using Windows 10, and several GNU/Linux distributions, different hardware, etc., and have never experienced a crash.

So please share crash reports, and file bug reports. Different hardware/software quirks may reveal bugs in Firefox/Linux/drivers/window managers/anything. By submitting a bug report for Firefox, you may be able to help find a video driver bug, etc.

I wonder if EME or some other similar mechanism in the future will be used to create websites that can only be viewed by certain browsers and/or operating systems?

Perhaps even prevent you from copying any part of them or download anything from them?

Maybe Web Assembly will also play a role (perhaps as a DRM'd browser "wrapper" to view content through) - it would be like using a DRM'd browser "window" via Flash or something.

Where any browser can view the content, but it is impossible to get any of the content out (because no one saves bits of conversation from blogs or anything like that - and all websites will always exist).

Hmm - indeed, imagine if you couldn't copy twitter feeds or facebook posts (and they were DRM'd in such a manner that trying to do so would be a violation)...? All of sudden, people could erase posts and claim they never said it, because there isn't any copies of it around (today, they have to get lucky and hope nobody made a copy first).
Honestly, if you want to make a point, you should work on the way you phrase it.

> only angry and negative voice their opinions

i.e. bad people

> positively minded

i.e. good people

I know you probably didn't think about it that much. Personally, I could start a rant about toxic culture now, but I'll leave it at that.

If you don't want to create an aggressive response, maybe refrain from calling people that disagree with you angry and negative.

EDIT: here's a suggestion for a good way to phrase the actual meaning you might have been thinking about:

People that are happy about the way something is, are less likely to complain about it. Yes, true, but that by itself doesn't make the thing either good or bad.
Per #2, families are much smaller on average now so even if they count that way, I don't think that would contribute much.
In 1996, "ISP" usually meant a third-party information service that used the phone company's lines. In the mid-2000s, the FCC reclassified DSL and cable lines as information services. That probably wasn't what Congress intended in 1996, but the Supreme Court ruled that the law was ambiguous.[1] That all but eliminated competition, so now "ISP" usually means a company that operates its own last-mile infrastructure, and talking about how things used to be gets confusing.

The amount of time parents spend with their children is certainly a factor in the well-rounded upbringing of a child, but it is a poor metric by itself. Children need parental involvement, parental accountability and discipline, and good parental examples to follow. If the latter two are lacking, the first is largely irrelevant.

Oh, it's hardly a new idea. I don't remember the details, but I believe a lot of the work was based on a prior paper, the details of which I'd have to go dig for. No one at the company was an author on that paper, IIRC.

It worked too, my family couldn’t log into my Apple //c as me even with my password.

Well, that was one of the problems that still needed work. If our credit union uses this (and it did for a while), then the spouse can't log in even if they have credentials. And for certain classes of people, it was unreliable enough to be annoying. I was one of those people, and I rarely got logged in the first time. Such a relief to move to a new company and I could consistently log in the first time, every time. :-)

> never held a job outside of that college

This happens a lot at universities. They are great places to work if you're OK with an "adequate" salary (with generally very good benefits and time off) and not being held accountable for very much. So you have staff people who have worked there for decades, if not their entire careers. Often entire families (parents and eventually their children) will be working there. Those sorts of people have no understanding of what the "real world" or private sector is like, so the problem of low productivity and low accountability perpetuates itself. It's normal and they don't know anything else.

AFAIK this isn't possible yet in a straightforward way, and it boils down to limitations of the type system (lack of tuples resp. value types in general), and the (understandable) refusal of many to do it in way that's hacky and potentially slow.

The discussion about this is actually quite old, for example:

Oh ok - if your point is simply that an AI will probably have some set of goals which could be called values, we agree. I was attacking the common claim that superintelligence will inherently develop 'friendly' values.

The orthogonality thesis doesn't say AI will lack goals, only that those goals may be totally unrelated to the sort of beliefs you or I would recognize as morals.
Where have you been ? H.265 is shipping on far more hardware today. It's been shipping on Intel, AMD, Nvidia components for years and is the standard codec for the PS4 and Xbox One. It's also the standard for broadcast terrestrial TV which means set top boxes, TVs etc.

And Apple is a patent contributor to H.265 so zero chance of adopting VP9.

Stoicism was the only philosophy that I felt was practicable in he real world today. It reminds you that you have control over your own thoughts and you can choose how to respond to outside events. You can appreciate what you have now by negative visualization and remembering there was a time when you wanted it more than anything. That your hard work is good for your own soul even if no one else appreciates it. That life is fleeting, people will leave you, will die and betray you but not be surprised when it happens.

I am in no way affiliated with this site or mailing list but I can't recommend this site enough, it's the only mail I always open in the morning. It's nice everyday to get a new tale of how someone was stoic in a difficult situation. https://dailystoic.com/

Earlier this year, Russian scientists announced that the "Test" experiments had found a range of different organisms that had been brought up from Earth and seemed to be surviving by clinging onto the ISS's hull.

I think that most companies have 'N-month email retention policies', where N is somewhere between 1-6.

Did the malfeasance happen more than a few months ago? Gee, sorry, no internal communications; that's policy. Did someone keep incriminating communications from more than a few months ago? Oooh, that's against policy - the recalcitrant employee has since been terminated and clearly does not represent our lofty ideals.

But I don't think that most companies go out of their way to use encrypted platforms to shield communications which they know are likely illegal from investigators.

The other day, I was just thinking about the old Multi-Document Interface that used to be so common in the Window 3/Windows 95 era. MDI was done well in old versions of mIRC and very poorly by StarOffice (OpenOffice.org/Libre Office's ancestor).

MDI has all but vanished. Now we see basically three paradigms:
- Simple, all-in-one applications (notepad, calculator)
- Tabbed interfaces (Browsers, sublime, atom, etc)
- Tool and document windows (GIMP's default, Pidgin)

Tabbed interfaces are clearly on the upswing so this makes sense as a window/document management technique. Still, I wonder if there is still a place for MDI that we are missing out on because it is out of style.

Clothes Make the Con Man
That was my first thought, but there is also a huge increase in the amount of activities kids do these days, with also an increase in parental participation. Marginal gains over the years have added up. i.e. campaigns to spend time with your kids, PTA meetings, involvement with clubs and sports. I'm sure not all of it is positive (like extreme helicopter parenting), but for the most part it seems to be a good thing.
A good point, and I should have been clearer about that.

I do think it's reasonable to talk about intelligence 'growing', and consequently about one intelligence 'surpassing' another. But AI's methods of thinking certainly won't be human, and it may reach human-parity on different metrics at very different times. Hell, we're seeing some of that already: AI can do I/O and data processing at superhuman speeds, but humans can still extract much more knowledge from a small amount of data.

For instance, a physical lock on your front door can easily be defeated by someone with the requisite tools and expertise, but that doesn't make them useless as a security measure.
