>My understanding is that the technical implementation of net neutrality is a ban of traffic policing (dropping prior to complete congestion to signal senders to slow down) for purposes other than "reasonable network management"

Thanks for the points. A few further thoughts.

1. There are two sides to every connection. Couldn't Netflix itself traffic shape?

2. Can I pay for QoS from an ISP for elevated service (for instance say I also have VOIP service for my office and want low-latency to trunk)? Doesn't my elevated status neccessitate shaping of others packets (for mine to arrive with lowest latency, others must be delayed)?

3. Lastly, given that all communications (everything from postal mail, to TV, cellphone, etc) relies on oversubscription, QoS traffic shaping is baked into the pie, there is no network access without shaping. Literally every single packet is shaped constantly along the way. Given this fact, QoS is the not optional. It is in fact the entire business process. Thereby, how could an ISP ever be shown to not be engaging in "reasonable network management"?

NOTE: I'm asking these questions somewhat rhetorically. My point always when NN discussions arise is to try to engage in actual technical discussion about the matter for the purposes of illustrating to others that its largely an undefined, impossible to enforce concept. In fact, the idea is impossible. To my repeated disappointment, few people - even on technical places like HN - bother to think about the technical aspects. To me this shows that NN is like a mind virus. Its the 2015 version of "won't someone think of the children" from the 80's. It is a crafty bit of wordsmith that makes it impossible for people not to support. Who could be for a "non-neutral" net? All of this is crafted for the politicians benefit, since they gain the power (and their monopoly lobbyist).

Mr Schneiderman,

How can you enforce Net Neutrality today? I'm an ATT & Comcast user. It's clear to me that these companies are already throttling my service based on which websites I visit, which I understand is illegal. I have deduced this by switching to a VPN whenever a website does not immediately come online. In over a hundred trials in the last two years I have confirmed that over 80% of the time a website will immediately appear once it is masked to my phone ISP or to my home internet ISP. This is despite the increased distance the traffic must take to route through the VPN server. It seems to me Net Neutrality is a fight we are already losing because we cannot enforce it.
It runs Android Go, a highly-optimized version of Android that is built by Google.
Net Neutrality repeal will have a long tail effect. It will cause the economy to slow as people have less disposable income, it will cause the cost of starting new sites to skyrocket as people choose plans that limit their access. It will make paying municipal bills more expensive. Repealing Net Neutrality is in effect a tax increase on American consumers and businesses, no more no less. The only real question is how far it will move the needle and realistically that depends on how expensive Comcast decides to make it. They have a monopoly and they fully intend to exploit it as far as they can, regardless of the detriment to the internet or consumers. Personally I hope they go full evil right off the bat. Were the American consumer in any way shape or form intelligent or in possession of a spine they wouldn't put up with this, but as it is, we're feeling what it was like when Rome started to decline.

Energy is the more likely candidate for large-scale startup growth in TX than weapons based start-ups. The energy industry has obviously been important to TX for a long time, but the state of the oil industry creates a gap for new players to fill, either by 1) further automation in the oil industry to improve margins in the face of low oil prices, or 2) embracing the rise of renewable energy tech in a state that has incredibly high renewable potential (solar, wind) and demonstrated investment.

The difference between this and Windows RT is that this will emulate an x86 chip to allow you to run apps compiled for Intel.
This is an oft-asked question.

Start with http://wiki.c2.com/?WhyIsSmalltalkDead .

The top answer at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/711140/why-isnt-smalltal... concludes "Ultimately, Smalltalk peaked early, and then had damage done to it by the stupidity of the early vendors in the space."

There are many other answers there, with different views.

Remember too that Smalltalk was expensive.

Istio actually uses Envoy as the traffic proxying layer so what do you mean by unify them?
Why would that be the case? Do you foresee this putting a great deal of performance-related pressure on Qualcomm that wasn't there before, despite them being a top-shipping smartphone CPU vendor?

Given Qualcomm's just-announced partnership with AMD [1], Qualcomm is clearly pursuing multiple strategies to compete with Intel, but they can leverage AMD to cover their weaknesses, instead of trying to outpace Apple's A-series in places where the market seems fine with the current Snapdragons.

Regulatory decisions are supposed to be made with public input. We're all aware that the agencies often ignore input. That doesn't mean it's ok to make fake input. The FCC will use these fake comments to create the illusion that the public has given them a mandate. That's unacceptable.
I'm curious about how that battery life would be like with a linux installed.

You said: "...profitable majors, so you'd probably see a lot more STEM degrees and a lot fewer of everything else...". In terms of lifetime earnings, STEM is not necessarily a sure fire route:

"'Students and parents have a pretty good idea of what majors pay the most, but they have a poor sense of the magnitude of the differences within the major,' said Douglas A. Webber, an associate professor of economics at Temple University who studies earnings by academic field. He points to one example: The top quarter of earners who majored in English make more over their lifetimes than the bottom quarter of chemical engineers.

But what if you never make it to the top of the pay scale? Even English or history graduates who make just above the median lifetime earnings for their major do pretty well when compared to typical graduates in business or a STEM field."

They have a whole blog post on the 'why'

https://stackoverflow.blog/2017/11/09/why-channels/

> For example, when developers need to ask their teammates questions, they tend to default to the tools that they’re already using daily: namely, chat and email. But those tools have their own problems. Chat is ephemeral and tough to search, and email is inherently limited to the people included or copied in. Both tools put a lot of strain on the few developers at a company who know the answer to a given question, and neither method excels at storage and recall.
Netflix is, mostly, just a Java shop. They follow good practices in a lot of ways (circuit-breaker patterns, abstracted access to data stores, etc.) but it's still a Java shop.

Their infrastructural/cloud ops teams are broader in the proper nouns they wrangle, but that's a different kettle of fish and is totally learnable outside of Netflix: understand AWS (when to build versus buy), understand how systems talk to one another (networking, HTTP for online queries versus queues for offline jobs), and how systems scale and repair after failure (horizontal versus vertical scaling, quorums for decisionmaking, when to use CP versus AP datastores, that kind of thing). And Netflix open-sources enough of their internal tooling that, once you have a baseline in the infrastructural field, you can probably do a good job of figuring out what the missing bits are.

I'm sure, having not worked there but worked on fairly large systems, that Netflix has its own wacky problems, but they're the things that baseline understanding of this stuff enables you to learn. It's all just digital plumbing.

(edit: not AGSchneiderman, but just what I understand about the topic)

1. Net neutrality is to not treat differently (to not change speed/latency/access) of a packet depending on source, destination or content/protocol. A "neutrality infraction" is e.g. throttling some streaming services and not others, or blocking access.

Note that this is NOT the same thing as prioritizing packets depending on behavior (amount and size to same destination, etc) and other parameters (like DSCP); this is called Quality of Service (QoS), which can be done without violating Net Neutrality.

2. There has been some of those "not neutral" behaviors (we need a word to define this!) in the last 10-15 years, but much more in the last few, as economies change and ISPs realize they can be nasty. The regulation was needed because these violations started to occur more. You only hear the cases of the US, but you don't hear of other countries. (e.g. Youtube and Movistar/Imagenio in Spain)

3. The problem of ISP monopolies is a different issue, and Net Neutrality doesn't change it a bit. If anything it helps. Since Net Neutrality is the _default_ state of computer networks, you wouldn't need to do anything special to comply. But if other companies are playing nasty, new ISPs would probably be forced to do a similar thing, as most people would want the cheap/free "internet".

4. That's the broken window fallacy. Let's create a problem so there can be more companies offering a solution. Also it wouldn't guarantee that there is at least one ISP everywhere offering unrestricted internet access at a reasonable price, which would stifle innovation and free market in web services.

Oh, yeah, it definitely resets the compression context between frames. But so does a video format.

No format that I'm aware of supports lossless compression that spans frames. Which leads to a funny situation where some images compress best by custom outputting a .gif or .png with no compression, and then zipping it.

That's correct, it's a run-time check. According to https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Types/range

A range is a signed integer value which ranges from a
First to a last Last. It is defined as

range First .. Last

When a value is assigned to an object with such a range
constraint, the value is checked for validity and
Constraint_Error exception is raised when the value is
not within First to Last.
The hash power that left BTC for BCC momentarily around early November was conveniently 60%.

One can imagine the ability of China to mobilize capital infrastructure to dominate mining space, especially when they're manufacturing all the bitcoin ASIC hardware.

It seemed like there were grave concerns once ASIC hardware hit BTC, locking normal people out and introducing an attack vector disproportionately favoring existing capital to take over the network.
As a long time slugline commuter (on 395), I'm not really a fan of the express lanes.

I-66 is already bottlenecked in the morning (267 merge 66, and before crossing the river). Not sure how can they justify charging even $100 to add more cars to that bottleneck during the peak hours.

Problem with the way express lanes are built, even on 495 (northbound), is that the point where the express lanes end, and merge with regular lanes, often are not equipped to handle the onslaught of the express lane traffic into existing lanes.

So all the rosy theories that convince the express lanes supporters are true until the last mile of the express lane, and then it is quite the opposite. The express lanes have a small backup of about half a mile, and the regular lanes often backup a mile or two.

I'm hoping that, with the proposed conversion of I-66 from HOV-2 to HOV-3 due some time on 2019 or 2020, sluglines form along 66 and 267, giving rise to the real rideshare transport system that has benefited those along I-395 for more than 30 years!

This two stage conversion of a HOV-2 in peak directions, to express lanes with HOV-3 is a great tactic to ensure commuters dont get super angry at once! (and surprising that WaPost missed it, unless they didn't ;)
And you've advanced an over-engineered scenario as a counter-argument to my observation. I think you can cut this guy some slack.
It only works that way if you trust Tether and the exchanges. Given how shadowy the big ones are, I'm not sure that's a good idea.

It appears this kind of arbitrage is designed to push up the price of BTC -- as long as the price keeps going up, people aren't going to withdraw. Once we start to see a sell-off though, the exchanges will stop being able to pay in USD pretty quickly.

My thought is that every time Tether/Bitfinex sees a sell-off happening (which, being an exchange, they can) they issue a bunch of new Tether, push the price higher, and take the money of some more suckers entering the market by selling BTC. If true, this is basically just a ponzi scheme.

Without evidence to the contrary, this is the safest assumption at least. I cashed out a few days ago regardless; but I do think there's a big crash coming. I don't think cryptocurrency is inherently bad, just that Bitcoin is all hype.

Why would this partnership have any significance on the performance of Qualcomm SoC's? Qualcomm doesn't really drive the performance of the architecture they license - that would be ARM.

Low-end PCs in China, India, etc. Intel is selling even its Atom-based Celeron and Pentium chips for laptops at quite the premium (about $110 and $160 MSRP, respectively).

I wouldn't expect these very first devices target that market, though, possibly because Qualcomm wants to be associated with more premium devices, but I think we'll see these chips in lower-end cost-competitive devices, too.

I have never heard of "finality" being used outside Ethereum, but maybe you can point me at which existing PoS systems use the term? Or is it Ethereum specifically which is the modern PoS system?

The Ethereum PoS system, which is still a prototype and may change before the final version, uses checkpoints to guard against chain re-orgs. It is not trustless in the same sense as the Ethash system is. It's not exactly a secret but a calculated tradeoff.

The question here however was about how "currencies like NXT" work, which can hardly be described as modern seeing it was one of the first together with PPC. I believe they never fixed the fact that the optimum mining strategy is not the altruistic one the reference client uses. As long as all participants use the reference client they're safe, but it's not something you would want to base a trillion dollar economy on.

In general the challenges with proof-of-stake systems are how to avoid collusion, how to avoid exploratory mining on every possible chain, and variants thereof. (There's also the related problem how to bootstrap a node from scratch in face of equally probable views of history.) Different blockchains have tried different ways to mitigate this, including hard coded re-org limits and coin weights, but the only ones that have proven at scale are the ones that regularly checkpoint the chain. But please correct me if you know of any exceptions.

> The controls are right next to each other, unlike with a separate timer and oven. You're trading one annoying thing for an even more annoying thing.

I fail to see how it's more annoying to not have the timer incorrectly shut off the oven. Coupling oven functionality to the timer just makes the timer less convenient. Using it to time basting etc is far more annoying and you essentially just can't use it for, say, timing something on the stove.

> With voice-only control, you add the annoyance of dealing with voice confirmations on top of that and have no way to glance at a timer and see how much time is left.

"Alexa, how much time is left on the timer?"

You lose the ability to look directly at the timer, but you gain the ability to check the timer when you're in the pantry, or across the room with guests or playing with your kids.
In fact, the "old semantics" actually included language constructs that are only now becoming available (again) in Prolog systems.

An example of such a construct is dif/2, which is a constraint that was provided in even the very first Prolog system, sometimes called Prolog 0, several decades ago. However, it was not widely available in Prolog systems until much more recently, even though professional Prolog systems such as SICStus have provided it for longer. Also arithmetic constraints were available in early implementations such as Prolog IV. So, in a sense, we are now going "back to the roots" of Prolog by making very old features widely available.

In my personal view, calling modern Prolog an "incompatible paradigm" with the way that Prolog is still being taught is not completely fitting, yet still more right than wrong: The new features are not meant to be used "on top" of old features, but instead! When using modern Prolog features to their fullest extent, you can completely eschew those language constructs that traditionally cause the worst problems for beginners.

Moded arithmetic is a prime example for this, which can be replaced completely by arithmetic constraints in modern Prolog systems. dif/2 is also a good example, which lets you avoid (\+)/1 in many cases by using a more general predicate instead.

Due to their operational semantics that is very hard to explain and understand, rather limited constructs often take significant room in many Prolog courses, and replacing them by more modern alternatives will entail a paradigm shift towards better methods and also make room for even more new material that can be covered instead. This is because on top of being more general, the new language constructs are often also easier to understand for beginners.
Linux has supported x86 emulation on ARM chips for many years now, I think even before Android started supporting x86 chips.
