AG Schneiderman,

While not from the US, as a jurist I feel compelled to do my part to prevent abuse of process and misrepresentations from occurring in the public sphere.

Is there any role available for American or Canadian jurists to help with your office's efforts in this matter? Tim Wu's assertion that this battle will ultimately be won or lost in the courts comes to mind: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/22/opinion/courts-net-neutra...

Would developing a case against Mr. Pai directly be an option you are considering? The revolving door/regulatory capture issue which is often raised in tandem with critiques of the FCC's current and past behavior is clearly contemplated at 47 U.S.C. § 154, (b) (2) & (b) (3).

-=-=-=-

I feel as if this situation is our creation as jurists.

The Anglo-American legal tradition has a strong current against recognizing a general theory of abuse of rights/abus de droit which is often foundational in civilian legal traditions, instead relying heavily upon balance of rights analysis.

Mr. Pai's argumentation relies heavily upon the balance of rights analysis, which discounts the importance of the purpose of the commission, his office and the rules in place in favour of a crude and arbitrary weighing of benefits and harms to stakeholders.

In this case: If the benefit to incumbent ISPs is large enough, the balance of rights analysis would handily justify harm to consumers - even if it would conflict with the purpose listed in the FCC's enabling legislation. See: 47 U.S.C. § 151.
NOT being backed by any one country or central bank is Bitcoin's primary value proposition.
GCE is Google Compute Engine for running VMs. GKE was Google Container Engine but makes more sense now as Google Kubernetes Engine. GKE runs on top of GCE VMs.
Yes but their gas usage doesn't scale as fast as the damage caused by their increased weight.
I see the usual comment about Fastmail (comparison to Gmail, ProtonMail, web interface, spam filtering performance, servers in the US, ...) but still nothing about the TOS, which seems more important to me

So here it is again:

- Fastmail can immediately cancel your account for any reason: "The Service Provider may terminate your access to any part or all of the Service and any related service(s) at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately, for any reason whatsoever, with or without providing any refund of any payments."

- Fastmail can disclose your info/data if it thinks it's in the interest of the company: "The Service Provider will not monitor, edit, or disclose any personal information about you [...] unless required or allowed by law, or where the Service Provider has a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: [...] (2) protect and defend the rights or property of the Service Provider; [...] (4) act to protect the interests of its members or others [...]

By comparison, mailbox.org TOS are much better.

Also mailbox.org offers GPG encryption, which Fastmail doesn't (AFAIK).
The Ethereum team is already under a lot of pressure to do this, putting more pressure on them is orthogonal, and maybe counterproductive, to outcome. This is the kind of thing that needs to be done well, moreso than soon.
What are the current crop of cryptocurrencies that are truly anonymous? The list I have so far is: Aeon, DASH, Komodo, Monero , NAV Coin, PIVX, Verge, Zcash, Zcoin, and ZenCash.

Any others?

It would have been but I stuck to the original title at the time I published the link. Looks like NYT has since updated it to "Russia Banned From Winter Olympics by I.O.C.".
Tableau isn't Provo based. You are probably thinking of Qualtrics.
>The ARP table might be bigger, but thats a different issue.

But this is the problem that most designs are trying to solve. Large L2s are notoriously fragile. 1,000 nodes, 50-100 pods/node is a lot of ARPs. And sometimes you want partitions between endpoints for security/isolation.

I agree with you about static assignment of addresses. But that's why (most) CNIs work with a controller of some kind for IPAM.

IMO, the problem complexity is hard to compress. You need to distribute/manage MAC addresses, routes, and/or state. Different designs would favor one over another.
I was not. I was only riveted from the halfway point to finish. For anyone that does watch it, don't give up based on the first half alone which is more about biking and only tangentially related to the actual Olympic scandal.
It unravels because it's one of many systematic cuts taking wealth out of the hands of the middle and lower classes. Income after graduation is routed back into the student loans instead of going into savings (and getting max compounding early on), or going into the economy (giving steam to GDP..). Will it the straw that breaks the back of our current economic expansion? Or will it combine with current tax cuts to pull so much money out of "main stream" economic circulation that we hit another recession? I'm not sure anyone really knows.
How far would this extend to? For example Tencent owns League of Legends, a widely used video game in the US (or even, globally) with a communication tool?

What if WeChat just suddenly gets popular in the US? What should the US do in that situation?

I think I disagree with most of the arguments for this, and I think the author's example of his own "something like DAO" is worse organization. I haven't used "DAO" but from what I understood reading this, it's my preferred pattern of doing database access in which objects are just data, and any database interaction would either return a data object, or take one as a parameter.

From my personal experience, I've found that trying to write database interaction methods on an object seemed to result in (subjectively) messier and harder to maintain code, compared to using functions that take or return objects. To achieve Encapsulation, I'd merge this into functions `static void update(Book b)` or `static Book get()` within the `Book` class.

Though, this preference comes from having been corrupted by functional principles and a strong preference for immutable data objects.
Baidu and Alibaba are both listed in the U.S. I am not aware of Baidu but Softbank and Yahoo used to own the majority economic stake in Alibaba. Tencent is listed in Hongkong but a large stake is owned by a South African investor.

MacKeeper ads was the reason I finally started using AdBlock. Terrible advertising (including modal alert popups) seemingly optimized to mislead computer novices, and many forum posts out there asking "How do I get rid of this thing."

In the past I've used a little command line utility I wrote that matches against a set of known regexp patterns: https://github.com/ezekg/git-hound. But I agree, it would be cool to see something like that directly from AWS that is 100% automated a la their secret key "alerting."
That is personal anual income and not family income I suppose. Remember that India has around 30% of people far too young to use cellphones. A family might have one phone and will happily spend $28 per year for the $30GB data per quarter. Also it is mostly prepaid with hundreds of plans to chose from so people chose based on their needs.

Smartphones are extremely important part of India's way of life as almost everything else is regulated to death. It is a ray of light for most poor people and you will find people who might not have a toilet but will own an android smartphone.
DC's problem, as always, is one of congestion and access. If we sidestep the tax burden ('we paid for it therefore we should be able to use it without charge') issue, there's a fairly typical large-city congestion problem, which is exacerbated by the lack of affordable housing in the immediate area.

The DMV area as a whole, especially the immediately DC-adjacent regions of Maryland and Virginia, is one of the wealthiest areas in the country. There are people commuting into DC from West Virginia(!). There's a fair argument for a congestion charge, as has been implemented in major cities (London and Singapore to name a couple), but the question then is one of access - the Metro (subway) system is good for America, but absolutely abysmal for the population density that it needs to serve. It doesn't help that the population is fairly spread out once you get further out as well.
>compensation was tied to value.

It is the definition of value. Value is the compensation others are willing to give you in exchange for your goods/services.
Aeon. It's basically Monero-Light.
> I would never have one of these devices in my home, and I'm surprised I see so many of them in homes of people who are in the tech industry.

I'm sure you have a vastly more powerful and easier to compromise device in your pocket that you carry everywhere. I have an Echo and it's pretty good for what it does -- for the simple convenience I use it for it's worth it. I have it behind a firewall.

You're surprised that people in tech industry aren't afraid of technology? Because I'm in technology, I'm pretty comfortable with it. I know that most of this fear mongering is pretty baseless; I can review the traffic on my network to see nothing nefarious is happening.
You would be skeptic too if you know a little how Propaganda works world-wide nowadays.
They were released because the mainland government was forced to explain why the owners were arrested (but a lot of people believe they were kidnapped). In particular, one of the owners is a British citizen.

While pro-mainland argued that the owners were arrested lawfully, the truth is not.

> It was widely believed that the booksellers were detained in mainland China, and in February 2016 Guangdong provincial authorities confirmed that all five had been taken into custody in relation to an old traffic case involving Gui Minhai.

How could all five be detained in relation to an old traffic case? Most importantly, there was no evidence of these owners leaving HK, so how did they end up in China? All five of them? Plotting against mainland? Why would a traffic case warrant this kind of arrest? Let's face it, if this was a local traffic incident in U.S., there would be no manhunt at this scale.

This roadway is known as "I-66 Inside the Beltway". It was built in 1982 [1], and runs from I-495 in Dunn Loring/Merrifield in the west to the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Bridge in the east, and except for short stretches, is generally two normal lanes wide in both directions.

Prior to this most recent announcement, at directional peak times, only HOV-2 vehicles (and special exceptions) were allowed [2]. Similarly, for a few additional hours on either side of the peak time, the corresponding shoulder lane is open for some sections as an additional travel lane.

Now, during peak times, all cars need an E-ZPass-compatible transponder of some sort to enter [3][4]. Outside of peak times, anyone can enter.

If you're HOV-2 and wish to avoid paying a toll, you need a switchable 'E-ZPass Flex', which has a physical switch on it to assert that you're currently HOV. It's largely enforced by the honor system and vigorous police presence. When it gets scanned and asserts that you're HOV, there is no assessed toll and the road is free. If your Flex is set to non-HOV, you get charged the current toll.

If you have a regular, non-switchable E-ZPass transponder, you get assessed the toll, regardless of your vehicle's actual HOV status.

Originally I am from the South but I have lived throughout the US and overseas - New Mexico, Idaho, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Turkey and I have traveled through Europe (western/eastern), Asia and the Middle East etc...

Southern Pride is about heritage where both black and white people are fond of their Southern roots. Southern culture is distinctive, containing certain mannerisms, language and traditions, distinct from the rest of the US. Cultural nuances occur regardless of place, though they are more noticeable in the South.

Now is the south racist? Yes, but every person everywhere carries a certain level of racism or a level of prejudice. It is human nature, biological I would argue, a mechanism to protect ourselves. Eastern Europe was noticeably prejudice of anyone they didn't know. I took their distrust based from living under the Iron Curtain for many years. Attempting conversation in their language broke many barriers but not always, which I understood so I went on with my business.
>in a lot of cases, it doesn't make sense.

If you are right, what data can we rely on to determine when it makes sense for a person to go to college and when it does not make sense for a person to go to college?

"In a report released Monday, the Census Bureau said 33.4 percent of Americans 25 or older said they had completed a bachelor’s degree or higher. That’s a sharp rise from the 28 percent with a college degree a decade ago." [0]

66.6% of Americans don't have a bachelor's degree or higher. So what is the appropriate percentage of Americans to have a college degree? Which other countries in the world are too educated?

>Ultimately, the tattoo “produced more confusion than clarity,” the doctors said in the letter.

I'm not sure how a giant tattoo with the word "not" underlined and a facsimile of this man's signature could cause any sort of confusion, it seems really straightforward.
I think there are two concepts being conflated here, but I'm not sure what to call them. Let's call them X and Y.

---

1) Saving whatever% off your car insurance makes you X.

2) Having sex makes you X.

3) Scoring the winning point in a close game makes you X.

A) Laying the last brick on a house you built with your bare hands makes you Y.

B) Watching your daughter get her doctorate makes you Y.

C) Solving a non-trivial theorem for the first time in history makes you Y.

---

I'm just not sure what to call X and Y; perhaps "happiness" vs "fulfillment", or "joy" vs "happiness", or "happiness" vs "true happiness"...

If Tencent buys Snapchat, you can say goodbye to the "privacy" aspect of Snapchat. I think the privacy aspect is what made Snapchat the "anti-Facebook." So I wonder what will be left of Snapchat if Tencent acquires it.

Oh, I wasn't implying that OBSD or NBSD should adopt Rust as a development language. Not at all.

My point is more that I wouldn't want the Rust developers to spend time on making it able to self-host on 32-bit platforms. I'd prefer they spend their time elsewhere, that's all.
I don't know, that seems like it's for comments made by you that you didn't actually do.

I have little reason to believe the person who left this comment is real or rather if the person is real, I doubt they actually left the response. However I don't think I should file it on their behalf in case I'm wrong.

I guess if they want the information, I'd pass it onto his staff and let him and his staff do the research to determine it's authenticity although that seems like a lot of work to authenticate one person.
> In practice this would probably look like a $5-50 monthly bill

I divided my state's total transportation expenditures(including fed dollars)[1] by estimated miles driven in 2016[0] and I got 31.5 cents per mile[2]. Is that about the order of magnitude you were thinking? If you drove 5000mi/year that would be about $130/month.

In practice the tax would probably be more successful if setup as a refund, like income taxes. So gas would have a huge tax and you'd get a monthly refund based on your actual miles driven.

> If we set aside the dystopian concern about tracking,

If you carry a cell phone you're already tracked by at least three parties: google/apple, your mobile provider, the nsa.

I think we'd be better off discussing as a society how law enforcement should use this information and passing strong privacy laws to regulate its use than avoiding more efficient taxation.

Ask HN: Cheapest edge device to run real-time object detection or face detection
Typical answers include Raspberry Pi 3, Jetson TX2 and now upcoming ones such as AWS DeepLens and Google Vision Kit. Any other ones tho?

I've already played with RPi3, it's too slow and for the TX2, it's decent (10 FPS) but the form factor is way off. I'm looking for something that I can build up from the ground up, kind of like the Google Vision Kit.

I actually don't think this is the case (I definitely might be wrong). Although the matchQuestion function has the pattern that typically resembles a function of exponential runtime (where a function invokes itself recursively multiple times), there is a slight difference in our scenario. If you look at matchQuestion's invocations of match, you'll notice that on both sides of the OR, the pattern is stripped of two characters (the "_?"). This means that the recursive invocation of match will never invoke matchQuestion a second time, unless there is a second '?', in which case it's entirely appropriate.

And it not being DC's I-66, this title is misleading. If the idea of DC being in the title is that important, use DC Area I-66, but really, it is a Virginia thing happening here, not DC.
Dear AG Schneiderman:

Thanks for all the work you do on behalf of New Yorkers and consumers in other states.

1. Are there any federal statutes under which states could sue providers to effectively maintain net neutrality? (analogous to the UDAAP authority granted to states by Dodd-Frank)

2. What obligations does the FCC have under the APA (or other statute) to ensure the integrity of the comment process, rather than merely evaluating them and remaining "open minded"?
I used to work for a healthcare software company, we dealt with this a lot. In fact, it was probably our primary focus.

The problem with the sick, injured, and elderly is that they are all disabled in very different ways. Someone with a spinal injury will be operate completely differently than someone with a stroke. You'll put a control on the left side of the screen which will impact anyone who can't use their left hand. Then you'll move it to the bottom of the screen, but that will impact people with peripheral vision issues or dementia. Many solutions that work for one set of disabilities are mutually exclusive to other disabilities.

Color blindness and issues with sight are very difficult to get right (avoid blue... and red... and green...). Everything has to be big and bold and high contrast; your important call-to-action will be the same size as the link to your terms and conditions.

We built an app that required people with diabetes to take pictures of their feet. Ironically, when we went to trial, none of the patients were able to take pictures of their feet. People who suffer from diabetes tend to be a bit larger, and yeah... they can't really bend over or pickup their feet.

You can't build one app for everyone, you have to build 3 or 4 different versions that offer tailored features depending on the disabilities of that group. You need a design team that is accessibility focused, otherwise your developers are going to get a flat PNG of designs and have no idea how to implement the workflows for accessible users. It's incredibly expensive and you need talented people.

I say all this not to stop anyone from doing accessibility focused work, but just to give reasons why many companies a) do a shit job of it and b) don't spend much time on it. The sad reality is that many disabled people don't have expendable income, so they aren't really the focus of business efforts. The only reason I got to experience all of this work was because the government was directly funding our efforts.
