Almost anything that involves people NOT doing something.

For example: let's say you dislike the idea of people clubbing baby seals to death for their skins and want to reduce or eliminate the practice. If you start a business buying up seal habitats and selling them to ecological investors that derive utility from there being fewer seal deaths, all that happens is the price of seal skins spikes and (eventually) more and more people get involved in the business, bringing things down to equilibrium again.

It's the same reason that buying all the slaves in the world won't get rid of slavery - it will just encourage MORE of it.
Serious question for those who think we know all the science (I believe in warming). Are there any models of climate change which have been predictive for the past 100 years and which existed at least 5 or more years ago?
Do you want your ISP to charge you extra for the "privilege" of being able to get access to Netflix ("Streaming media package!"), or Twitch ("Esports!"), __in addition__ to any subscriptions you would already pay to Netflix?
That's a good question, the problem is what if your only available ISP makes you this hypothetical deal:

For $59.99 a month:

- Get Facebook, Google, Netflix at 100 Mbps max.

- Any other traffic is limited to 5 Mbps max.

Watching Hulu, or Amazon Video for instance would be limited at 5 Mbps max.

But in that case your own VPN would also fall in the second category, so even if you tried to watch Hulu via VPN, you'd still get only 5 Mbps max. (And you'd be then stupid to watch Netflix through your VPN since it would also be at 5 Mbps max instead of 100 Mbps max.)
What story is that? Google didn't return anything.

I think the city charter contributes to the pattern where supervisors focus on their core constituency and keep city-wide issues at the periphery.

The different districts have different concerns and often do not overlap, so its hard to get consensus on big items like housing, what to do about the homeless encampments and so no.

How to SCREENSHOT ON PC, WINDOW 7,8 AND 10
As of today Google with it's BBR + QUIC + Chrome combo and Facebook with their Zero protocol, combined with their extensive data center network can get much better end user experience than any other service provider regardless of any government.

We can talk about network neutrality whatever we want - but these companies have built technological capabilities to have "little bit bigger share".

So, probably after some time it is too late to deal with Google:)
Didn't even call my attention. Looks non-awkward even at 150% zoom (protip: do that to prevent eye strain)
Consensus is not conclusive. It takes a special kind of hubris for someone to think they understand climate change with the minute dataset we have.

We don't have enough data to guess next month's weather let alone the possible effects in 10+ years.

> It takes a special kind of hubris for someone to think they understand climate change with the minute dataset we have.

And an even greater hubris to ignore the pretty vast dataset we do have and go diametrically against the conclusions it suggests.

It's also pretty funny how that greater hubris is exhibited mainly in a particular country, and a specific party in that country which has a lot of ties/donations from oil companies. Especially when other branches of the government are preparing for the results of man made climate change. Makes you think, doesn't it.
You're misunderstanding me. My point is that a common anti-NN argument is "but Netflix generates so much traffic..." and I'm saying that argument is without merit.
What is the rest of the context of the Golang code snippet in that that link?
There's lots of evidence it's overvalued (e.g. price vs. utility), and some evidence as well that it's undervalued (most the argument for future value as more people use it). It's not a matter of lack of evidence, it's an issue of which evidence you choose to give more credence.

Very cool - I always have problems with asking interviewers questions in general. This is a unique and valuable niche imo. I'll definitely try to use this in a future interview. Enjoyed the fake questions as well - hope the newsletters have more of the same charm

Not sure if someone else has said this - one thing is that I was slightly overwhelmed at first by how many values there were to choose from. Maybe you could show the top 3-5 most popular values in each category (Daily Routines, Team Values, etc.) and let users expand the list if they want? Someone might not care for anything in Strategy, for instance, and wouldn't need to see the entire sub-list.
That is definitely assuming too much when answering an explain it like I'm 5 type question.
tptacek: I think this sub-thread has been mainly to explain what RSA could be used for, not that it would be a good idea. On the side note, I have been positively surprised to see how many devices support ECDHE key exchange.

I'm sorry -- this no longer feels like a productive discussion. I described two scenarios: a) one where the ISP deliberately throttles sites with views it dislikes, and b) another where everyone gets the normal speed but some may pay more for faster.

You claimed that any non-neutrality would permit a). I disagreed and gave an example of someone violating neutrality by doing b), where all views are still transmitted, but some have the option to pay for faster transmission.

In every reply, you changed the example back to a) and insisted you were quoting me. That is not responsive, and I cannot justify further engagement unless your replies can more narrowly address the scenario that I was actually talking about.

Correct me if I am wrong wouldn't this position Cloudflare as a "Publisher" of the content? Forget about holding it liable for censoring content(email via dmarc p=reject;),but as a publisher is it not liable for the nature of the content it publishes?

I understand that you can't hold Cloudflare liable just because it's customers hosted illegal or damaging content. But isn't a "publisher" liable for content take-down after an abuse notice? If they can't be sued under civil law,can't they be prosecuted under criminal law?

Section two title 18:

> (b) Whoever willfully causes an act to be done which if directly performed by him or another would be an offense against the United States, is punishable as a principal.
I found that channel by following chains of featured channels from hardcore ElsaGate channels. You'll also find such coloring videos on channels that have blatantly messed up content, too.

> it seems like US Americans are projecting their particular sensibilities onto videos made by some people in an entirely different part of the world

What part of the world would that be? Just saying "oh, there's probably a culture that has these different sensibilities" is heard a lot around ElsaGate, without ever actually referencing a specific culture. And what is an "entirely different" part of the world? Made of antimatter?

> It's important that we don't just lump everything that makes us uncomfortable into the same category.

None of this makes me feel "uncomfortable" though, and I'm not American either, so don't lump my reaction and your reaction together as "our" reaction. Also, just because the fringe is not the center, doesn't mean they're not connected: don't lump noticing the connection together with lumping things together.

"Disturbing" or "weird" or "uncomfortable" or "nice" or "awesome" and so on are not very descriptive words. A cold breeze might make me feel uncomfortable, so might a video of a puppy getting hurt, but that doesn't describe these things. It's making it about the people calling it out, and I for one am not buying.
> We don't have enough data to guess next month's weather let alone the possible effects in 10+ years.

Weather is very different from climate. As an example, for many regions of the world you can accurately predict the average rain fall per year, but it is nearly impossible to predict whether it will be raining at noon in 7 weeks from now.

Maybe a better analogy for this audience: Predicting statistics does not require predicting particle orbits. Insurance pricing does not require being able to predict the health of each individual person.

The fundamentals are at the current price of $17,000/btc bitcoin mining costs are about $14.5B annually(144 blocks of 12.5 btc/block plus ~3.8 btc/block in fees) in electricity expenses due to paying off miners which is about on par with the 8th largest company in the world Facebook. Bitcoin's revenue/year is however much money people feel like FOMOing in + however much tether money bitfinex feels like printing which right now is more than the mining costs. Once this figure changes, the price will decline. For reference, Facebook has ~$24B in revenue/year.
My problem is that you're currently not paying for bandwidth either, because ISPs generally don't promise you all of the advertized bandwidth all of the time. There have been times when my ISP has been unable to deliver the bandwidth that was advertized to me without throttling things like BitTorrent. I would be 100% for net neutrality if that problem actually got addressed. Most of the examples I've seen of companies throttling things are actually very high-bandwidth services - it's not just things that people are willing to pay more for or that compete with the ISP. Without that solved, then yes - I'd like to be able to pay more to get my work prioritized over entertainment or piracy.
I don't think it's a good idea to import the style of a language into its implementation written in a different language; at least, not to this extent. When in Rome...
Hot dogs are also conductive, since they are also filled with salt water. I wonder if you could do ADSL-over-hotdog. Obviously the length would be limited by the length of a frankfurter, so you wouldn't be able to get more than a foot or so, but it would be an interesting experiment.

A pickle might work too.
The traffic isn't completely circumventing your last mile ISP. Just because you tunnel over that connection doesn't mean they're not serving your traffic.

Likely the outcome would be "we couldn't identify this traffic as one of our approved providers, so we used the lower of the rates we offer."

e: the second bit of that was to compare to the plan offered by a peer comment, with e.g. netflix, youtube served at higher rates and the rest at lower. So you would never see the higher rates.
I'm actually really surprised by this gushing review - I use the same stand at work, but I don't think too much of it. Could I ask you to elaborate? Just curious.
The article claims that Jellyfish are eyeless. This is false in this case. Irukandji have 24 eyes. Of those, four are bigger with well developped lenses and even a sort of iris, and are known to be able to see enough to navigate around obstacles. They can even rotate those eyes to focus on their target and can see humans swimming also. Cubozoans are ancient creatures, very interesting and much different to other jellyfishes.
Tell HN: Andreessen, Thiel, Cuban, IBM, Intel Are Against Net Neutrality
I haven't see any friends, Democrats, or Republicans (including comments on Fox News Facebook posts that I've seen) that weren't pro Net Neutrality. Curious, I searched to see who was against it beyond AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast.
According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality#Arguments_against): Individuals who oppose net neutrality include TCP/IP inventor Bob Kahn,[172][173], Marc Andreessen,[174] Scott McNealy,[175] Peter Thiel,[168] David Farber,[176] Nicholas Negroponte,[177] Rajeev Suri,[178] Jeff Pulver,[179] John Perry Barlow,[180] Mark Cuban[181] and FCC Chairman Ajit Pai.

Corporate opponents of this measure include Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, IBM, Intel, Cisco, Nokia, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Juniper, D-Link, Wintel, Alcatel-Lucent, Corning, Panasonic, Ericsson, and others.[85][166][167]
Have you thought about a few marketing side projects for your site? For example, maybe (a) showcase public lists with a count of how many people clicks on each item, (b) creating a list for entrepreneurs, parents, teachers, etc, and (c) sharing them on the respective site.

People will hopefully not just find the items interesting, but will also be curious to see what items others are looking at.

And best of all, hopefully a lot of people will find your site this way.

I have heard many anecdotes about finance money coming in. We are witnessing it.

Also, rich Saudis are scared shitless about losing their wealth when political winds change. They put their money into crypto and it's much, much harder to take it from them, provided they own the private key. This is the best mechanism of wealth storage yet created, provided the value holds, which as more around the globe believe in, it becomes more likely. Bitcoin could be digital gold, but we shall see.

>The average "unbanked" person in a third world nation couldn't afford a $20 transaction fee for their ordinary transactions.

Someone in a country, who has the equivalent of $800 is life savings, is experiencing hyperinflation (Venezuela let's say). Are you telling me that they're not willing to pay 2.5% (20/800) of their savings to save 97.5% of it? Why do you think someone would be willing to let hyperinflation destroy 100% of their life savings when there's an alternative?
They go on to say:

"The temperature in Barrow had been warming so fast this year, the data was automatically flagged as unreal and removed from the climate database. It was done by algorithms that were put in place to ensure that only the best data gets included in NOAA’s reports."

These are algorithms that have not been triggered before. I understand that seasonal and "natural" fluctuations are taken care of. In theory that leaves man made. There is rather a lot of science around that indicates us lot as buggering up not just the climate itself but the oceans and even near space (junk). I'll grant you that this article sounds a little breathless but then the issue is a little bit important.

I'll never forget the sight of an Aussie near sobbing on camera as he described coral bleaching over huge parts of the Great Barrier Reef ("Blue Planet II" - BBC). Sun Fish are seen off Cornwall, Polar bears are running out of ice to hunt across, 1 in xhundred year weather events are being seen much more regularly than their name suggests.

We can ignore the science but as civilians we can only attribute so much to el Nino, seasonal variability and such like. Read a few papers yourself or read a few summaries from sources that you trust but don't summarise a shed load of research as:

The ISP's feel like, burden or not, since Netflix represents more of the traffic they should pay more of the infrastructure cost. Many people fear that if Net Neutrality is repealed, the ISP's will have a giant lever (in the form of levying fees on customers for accessing Netflix) to squeeze Netflix to get them to cough up more cash.

It's an old & interesting debate about how data service ought to be billed. If 26 customers pay for 50MB/s service, most use 2MB/s, one uses 50MB/s, and the uplink is sparsely provisioned at 100MB/s, what is fair? One customer is using half the capacity of the link but only paying 1/26th of the costs, while the others are using 1/50th of the capacity and paying 1/26th the cost. Many might argue the one customer should be paying more.
Why would not having shielding save copper? Shielding is usually made out of a metal foil or mesh, often aluminium. I've never seen shielding out of copper.
Net neutrality = anti content discrimination.

It's as simple as that. If the ISP is discriminating against certain types of content, then the internet is not neutral, which many think should be illegal to preserve innovation on the web (allowing small companies to rise up as fast as Google, Facebook, and Youtube did, instead of being bogged down by ISPs charging them fees for "access to their customers" or some nonsense).
> We don't have enough data to guess next month's weather let alone the possible effects in 10+ years.

It takes a very special kind of hubris to be critical of the science when you apparently get confused between climate and weather.
> From our perspective yes, Crytpo's use case as currency make absolutely no sense (yet), we tap our Visa card to pay instantly with no fees and no fraud liability, hard to beat.

Fees that are absorbed by the merchant, so not an entirely fair comparison. Still, I agree that the fees make the use cases for cryptocurrenies very limited personally. Right now, I can pay a fee to a third-party (CC fees in the form of slightly higher priced goods) BUT that third-party takes on a significant part of the liability (e.g. for goods not provided), and I can transfer money to a trusted (or untrusted providing I am OK with the risk) party in the same country for ZERO fees via my bank. For those use cases, using most cryptocurrenies would be strictly worse (I either give up the fraud protection or I am paying an unnecessary fee).

The only case where it makes sense is for international transfers, which typically do have higher bank fees, but personally they are so rare (I've used it once in the past decade) that they are barely worth considering for my personal use cases.
Did you just really link a power utility bill rating to say it's illegal to run a computer?

Son, what?

It is not illegal anywhere to run a computer as a server. In fact a computer that serves data, is a server. If you've ever hosted a file on your computer or sent one, you're a server. Ever had a Facebook messenger call or uploaded a picture, you're a server.

Geeeez.
