While I understand NN is a hot topic in these past few months, I'm having a hard time understanding the connection here. Are we suggesting that there should be some sort of mandated cross-platform compatibility requirement for all cloud video services on all devices? Meaning, do we really want to require that Google provides access to all YouTube content on everyone's device? What if I post a video on my own homepage, am I then required to make it available on all devices?

I think both Google and Amazon are acting like jerks here, but I can't think of federal-level rules I'd change or put into place that wouldn't make things worse.
Reading https://github.com/cplusplus/draft, it seems you had to generate figures from their dot source.

If so, the result may depend on your installation (probably even if you use the same version of GraphViz but a different OS and/or set of fonts), and that can affect pagination.

Also, are you sure you built for the same paper size? A4 vs US letter could explain the difference.

Windows RT was not a failure because of ARM, or because the hardware was not capable. Windows RT was a failure because, once again, Microsoft showed that they are completely incapable of reading the market. They tried to market a Windows experience to consumers and then did not deliver on the Windows experience.

Not really. Fragmentation is only inevitable when there exist feature tradeoffs. If Parcel's advantage is parallelism and caching, it's possible those features could have been added to Webpack.
> they were never good at each other. To have the best of two worlds is to have one Chromecast and one Fire TV. At least I don't need an Apple TV nowadays because Chromecast is good enough for local streaming and some occasional mirroring from Mac (although not the same quality as Apple TV).

My guess is this goes all way to the top, to Larry:

> It started when a guy from Mozilla asked a question about the future of the Web and mobile platforms. Page dove right in. “I’ve personally been quite sad at the industry’s behavior around all these things," he said. "If you take something as simple as IM, we’ve had an open offer to interoperate forever. Just this week Microsoft took advantage of that by interoperating with us. You can’t have people milking off of just one company.”

> He was referring to Microsoft’s announcement that it would incorporate Google Talk into Outlook.com, even though it doesn’t allow Google to incorporate Outlook functions into Gmail. But as AllThingsD’s Mike Isaac noted, he left out the part where Google recently sent Microsoft a cease-and-desist letter demanding that it remove the YouTube app from its Windows Phones.

> Page wasn’t finished. “You can’t focus on negativity and zero-sum games,” he said. “I don’t know how to deal with all of those things, and I’m sad that the Web isn’t advancing as fast as it should be. We struggle with people like Microsoft.” A question about Oracle and Java got him going again. “We’ve had a difficult relationship with Oracle, including having to appear in court,” Page said. “Money is obviously more important to them than any collaboration.”

> It turns out this is also the media’s fault. “Every story I read about Google is us vs. some other company, or some stupid thing. I just don’t find that very interesting. We should be building great things that don’t exist. Being negative isn’t how we make progress.”

> To recap, Page criticized Microsoft for treating Google as a rival, blasted Oracle for caring too much about money, and then whined about everyone being so negative. Heck, if it weren’t for those other companies standing in the way, Google would have probably already solved world hunger. Well, except for all the laws and bureaucrats and journalists who are also standing in the way.

I love the work that people at Amazon.com are doing. However, as we push upwards of 60% of US households on Amazon prime, I think we have reasons to be worried.

like acchow said:

> Amazon fired the first shots tho. This is their fault and they should put Google products back up on their store.
Suppose you're a new ISP. Explain what is the cost of complying with NN regulation.
> And even then, can I have an option to select absolutely no human intervention possible?

> I already have multiple ways of recovering my account, and I never, ever want human assistance on this.

Yep, I'll second this feature request. Put as many disclaimers and confirmation mechanisms on it as you need to in order to keep people from accidentally enabling it. I will happily assume responsibility for it.
The first version was a tour de force in TOS violations. It was such an abuse that I'm surprised Amazon were brazen enough to release it considering Google would drop the hammer once they saw it. I guess they thought they could do whatever they wanted with other companies properties. I don't know if the revised version violates the TOS, but I'm guessing it's compliant. This seems to be all about reciprocity with Google which I'm all for. At the end of the day, it's their API and they can determine you can and cannot use it. If Amazon wants to play games by banning Google from their ubiquitous store then Google can do the same with their properties.

I do blame Google for breaking millions of devices for what can't amount to much more than a rounding error's worth of developer time/pay for them to keep the old APIs working. I'm disappointed that people don't seem to care about backwards compatibility anymore. As a general point, not everyone out there can afford to keep buying new things when companies drop support, which is an angle that's maybe overlooked because of the relatively affluent demographics on tech sites. For me, if I developed an app that didn't have some extremely pressing need for some new API call, I'd prefer not to abandon the people who can't buy new phones every two years.
That's not their philosophy, that's public relations.

> Curious, is this a violation of net neutrality?

No, Amazon leveraging it's exclusive content and video service to sell FireTV, or Google leveraging YouTube to sell Chromecast, is not a violation of Net Neutrality, or within the statutory mandate of the FCC even more generally.

Either might be a violation of anti-trust law within the purview of the FTC, of course.
If it would be "trivial to set up" don't you think they would've already done it and offer it as an option?
Until it isn't of course. It is challenging to understand how greedy these people are such that they really want both all the data (viewing habits, demographics, etc) and all the revenue.
Best way to prevent this kind of content hoarding is to support neutral platforms.

It's short in the sense that you're selling before you buy and profiting off the thing bought/sold (bitcoin) going down between the two trades. Sell -> wait -> buy as opposed to the 'long' position of buy -> wait -> sell.

Since nobody-ish lets you borrow for bitcoin margin trades you have to "borrow from yourself" (already own bitcoin) and be long-bitcoin in the long run for that to make any sense.

But if you're a to-the-moon true believer that also thinks that bitcoin is in a bubble and going to make a temporary correction you could make a ton of bitcoin by being right... if you can actually make the trades and not get screwed by a counterparty.
I don't understand this response. I'm glad you're working to minimize human factors. Can you explain how exactly you're doing that? I asked some specific questions here:

We have taken the approach of not allowing our middle school children to have any social media accounts. iMessage and facetime have created enough teachable moments, hopefully by the time they do get social accounts we will have covered the basic dos and don'ts

We also make them charge their phones in a room away from them at 8pm each night. Not a lot of good things can happen on facetime late at night for a middle schooler.

Great unpacking of a powerful few minutes of cinema. I could hear the song thundering in my ear just from reading the article.
You’re not alone. Many Americans – especially those far from major cities -- have only a single ISP available, others have only two ISPs. That’s why competition is more limited in the market for broadband than in other markets (because consumers can’t “vote with their feet” by switching to a competitor), and that’s a major reason I believe the existing net neutrality regulation under Title II is needed.

what's the average facebook user/friend's incentive to leave a comment on your blog rather than on facebook?

if they leave a comment for you, sure I would put it on the blog. but if people are discussing the article, isn't it easier to do on facebook?
I would say that this comment is "real" - in the sense that it was actually wordsmithed for the position it supports, but that it is likely that the purported person's name and address are fake/misattributed to the comment.

This wordsmithed position likely came from some partisan political action web site gathering automated signatories; you go to it, fill out your info, and it posts to the FCC input form/api or whatever.

Similar ones exist as well for the opposite view ("for net-neutrality rules").

At that point, it's a matter of generating the information and pasting and sending (the actual text is usually pre-filled on the form, sometimes with allowances to allow a real user to edit the form).

For instance, I looked up my name on the AG's site - it found several hits. Most of them were "against net neutrality" - essentially with the text you posted - but the addresses didn't match my address.

But a couple were posted "for the current net neutrality rules" urging the FCC not to change anything; even so, I didn't post them, and the addresses didn't match.

Curiously, one of those two comments had a small sentence tacked onto the end, reading "Don't fuck this up!" - which is something I would never put into a public comment to a govt agency or request. So even though I agreed with the position, it still appalled me to see that vulgarity applied to the comment.

All comments though were fake - I never sent any of them in to the FCC.
Except it doesn't, by definition. It's "Network neutrality", not "absolutely anything anybody thinks of when they say 'The Net' neutrality."

Similarly, "Road Neutrality" only applies to actual roads. It doesn't mean the local McDonald's has to let anybody could use their drive-thru for any reason, or that you're allowed to park in your neighbor's driveway, or that you can freely wander around a NASCAR track.
> you can’t do anything about that

You can. You can encourage developers to contribute to a single project, rather than create fragmentation, which is exactly what's happening in this forum.
> a 24 hour lockout to allow the owner to notice an attempt on their account.

I've been pretty careful to ensure that I don't lock myself out of my account (multiple U2F keys, strong password saved in password manager with backups)

But if a determined attacker kicks this off just as I'm stepping on a flight from Sydney to London, 24 hours isn't going to be enough.

"It's way too easy to get money for college."

I would go a bit further and say it is way to easy to get money for bad college. Looking at some of the ways for-profit colleges pitch pretty worthless degrees as a "path to higher pay" and simultaneously lay down the student loan application reminds me of the mortgage refinance market of 2007.

> Who paid for the delivery of all this on-net traffic, then? The customers. In Level 3's case, this means that CDN customers like Netflix would pay Level 3, while Comcast's cable modem subscribers would pay Comcast. Very simple, very clean, and according to Level 3 now, this is the way the Internet should be connected.

> But after winning the Netflix deal this autumn, Level 3 suddenly wanted to pass far more traffic over its links with Comcast. Comcast balked; Level 3 suddenly looked less like a transit vendor and more like a CDN.

You are correct that they had an existing settlement-free peering agreement. But that agreement had traffic ratio requirements which Level3 broke because of its Netflix contract. So they can offer whatever else in the world that they want to seem like "nice guys" - free routers or cold potato routing or whatever. But Comcast is not obligated to allow Level3 to break the terms of their agreement so Level3 can make tons of money off Netflix at Comcast's expense.
I've been waiting years for this. Once compute shaders became available to the browser I planned to finally get around to writing some code because you could project out to so many platforms. This sucks the entropy out of the coding task. You don't have to have multiple implementations, with unique bugs on multiple platforms.

JS has improved over the year but you can also go with a typed language if you wanted like purescript or typescript.
You can run Linux on Chromebooks.
Roku is a local US thing (cannot get that in Europe) and Kodi is not a match for Chromecast and/or Fire TV and I never want to think or spend too much of installing the right stuff on my "TV box".
A store can sell whatever it likes, surely?

If a store has become so dominant that it is impossible to compete if you can't get a listing, then shouldn't we be addressing that issue? If Amazon is in the dangerous position of manufacturer/retailer/marketplace owner (not to mention hosting provider) to the detriment of competition then Amazon needs breaking up.

If Google is a content provider/directory/manufacturer to the detriment of consumers then the same is true.

This tit for tat stuff over their sucky streaming sticks is not the issue
> Amazon fired the first salvo by dropping the Chromecast a few years back

...after Google intentionally changed the Chromecast protocol almost weekly to force app developers to use their proprietary library, and to prevent third-party implementations of the library from working.

There’s dozens of open source implementations of the protocol from that era left on GitHub, all abandoned over the constant changes that were purely done to prevent anyone (Amazon or open source devs) from streaming to Chromecast, or receiving streams, without going through Google’s proprietary library.

Wow, that's a lot of questions, and I can't answer all of them without creating security risks!

Our absolute focus is on minimizing the human factors.

In the past year and a bit since that incident, we have improved our escalation policies and support training, as well as let some support staff go.

But more importantly, we now have an automated account recovery system which can be used to verify ownership of the account using a number of different factors (not all of which I'd like to talk about in public - again, if an attacker knows the full algorithm it helps them game it).
What I'm hearing is that the human aspect remains and there is absolutely no prevention of this happening in the future.

The other response contains weasel words like "For instance, _some cases_ take 24 hours before the reset password goes into effect". Why "some cases"? Why isn't it all cases?

I think we as customers deserve complete transparency on this and know what prevention will be in place.
No, we couldn't, because people who don't go to college will be paying it.
I think that "allowed" is correct. A developer couldn't just recompile their desktop-style app into an ARM binary for RT, for example. They'd refuse to run, and not because of the CPU architecture. The only way to get third-party apps was through the Windows store, which only supports Metro apps. Metro apps had a limited API available to them.
Didn't Google block the ability to stream to Chromecasts? I'm not justifying anyone's behavior here but this is why the "they started it" argument is considered childish. These are all anti-customer moves which will hurt both companies in the long term.

SafeCoin would be if it were actually implemented. As it currently stands, there is just a MaidSafeCoin token with a promise of a 1:1 exchange when SafeCoin gets implemented. Still, the concept is interesting. It's not blockchain-based, and a coin's data structure only contains the current and previous owner signatures.

All the sibling posts are interesting – but ultimately wrong.

The Chromecast (or at least when I last tried it) doesn’t support WPA Enterprise, so it can’t use the user/password or user/certificate authentication required by university networks.

This is purely an issue with the Chromecast.
The headline is sensational. The mere use of the word junk, although quite a few places apart, incures a mental relation of student loans to junk. The error here is that comparison between debt and market are a type mismatch and creativity is needed to resolve the actual meaning.

Just look at the top comment concuring, "There is definitely an education bubble".
Agreed. The thing that pisses me off, is that Amazon video doesn't even support Chromecast for streaming, how hard would it be to code that in? I bought firefly from amazon thinking I could easily stream it to my chromecast, but nope.. -- I won't get amazon video, or support any of there video things till I can.

Also, even without exceptions, it's possible to have explicit error handling without so much boilerplate. Rust's `?` operator achieves the same thing as Go without filling your code with conditionals and return statements.

I do appreciate the difficulty in balancing simplicity and verbosity, but there are a handful of cases in Go where I wish they added some complexity to make the code significantly more terse.

That's great to hear.

By the way, if you'd make your interface more general than deep learning, your library could be the start of an alternative for numpy/scipy on JS, and it would be even faster than the original Python version because it uses the GPU. Just a thought ...

(One small downside is that JS doesn't have the nice operator overloading that Python has, afaik)
I thought that limitation was more on Google's side more than Amazon deciding not to develop an app.
When you want performance the only way is getting close to the hardware. That is why deep learning is usually linux+nvidia. That is why game engines use/used C or even assemble code for critical parts.

Don't expect anything better soon as companies focus on performance per watt and will only develop things in that path.
"Read a short book on..." Is a pretty high bar for conceptual simplicity.

Why wouldn't those who have had exposure to the concept of free energy prefer that metaphor to yours? You may be biased having exposure to more game theory than free energy. One person's conceptual diarrhea is another person's cleanest explanation.
A "bubble" doesn't require the participation of all or even most market participants. As long as prices are being driven by short-term speculation, it's a bubble.

I think that bitcoin prices are being primarily driven by long-term speculation - if everybody hoping to flip BTC for overnight profit exited the market tomorrow, it wouldn't make that much a difference in the end. Wouldn't surprise me if I am wrong though.
