The man is an elected official in Alabama. Also an idiot and a bigot who think only Christians can be elected to Congress. It's okay to look down on him for being ignorant, but a lot of the comments attack his regional accent. That's not okay.
With older crowds you need to be familiar before talking politics. Younger people talk pretty freely about politics in social settings. To be fair that's not much different from the US.
Ok everyone, it's been fun. See you on America Online!
here is an idea, how about the w3 go to hell after selling us out on DRM.
You "don't understand" how people can have a desire to share pictures of their children with friends and family members who care about them? No one cares that you "don't care what their kids ate today" - just stop following them or unfriend them.
It's interesting how much we (specifically Americans, but it may be a wider phenomenon than that) really love success stories that follow from academic mediocrity or failure. This is a perfect example: we really want Fred Smith to have built his business on an idea that got a bad grade in school. A really common example is the misconception that Albert Einstein did badly in school.
you seem to assume that the bandwidth used by netflix is fixed. however, what actually happens on network saturation (given net neutrality) is that both netflix and non-netflix content will slow down. netflix watchers will see buffering or will get a lower resolution.

that is the point of net neutrality: handling packets on a non-discriminatory best-effort basis. if the "channel is stuffed", then a certain percentage of all the packets in the channel, including the netflix ones, will be dropped.
Without exception, everything that Microsoft has transformed into UWP has been worse. I don't quite know what the UWP dream is, but it's horrible.
"We" is "we who get others onboard"? No point in being a pessimist.
I had this problem, too. I fixed it by deleting my non-Skype account & waiting about 60 days.[1] Changing the email of the non-Skype account might have worked, too, but I didn't need two accounts & didn't mind waiting.

Don't think Google/Deepmind is interested in TCEC at all. They got bigger and better things to do with the research. Also, current TCEC hardware does not support Alphazero. Eventually people will be able to replicate the results and we'll have a few different versions of Alphazero successors.

Some similarities with Photoshop are necessary to guarantee the PSD support (same layer properties, same layer styles, same adjustments - for adjustment layers). Otherwise, I think that all image editors look quite similar, e.g. https://www.Pixlr.com/editor , Pixelmator, or Affinity Photo
Have you actually checked the link? This seems to be a reasonable advanced clone of photoshop in JS; all the basic stuff that you would expect to be there seems to work. Pretty impressive stuff considering its one guy.
If you're looking to actually do this, look into wireless broadband: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_broadband

There are currently small operations that offer wireless broadband by putting the receiving equipment on your roof (sometimes they give you a discount if you serve as a repeater) and they purchase wireless data from larger companies' cell towers.
Even in the CPU mining days, 100,000 was a lot. I think this is typical of many embellished Bitcoin stories. Several times I've had people tell me they 'should have bought at $#.##", so I ask them how they heard about Bitcoin. It's usually the "10,000 BTC Pizza" or a news story about Silk Road, or even the Nov 2013 bubble. At any rate, the actual price when they first heard about Bitcoin is often very different from what they remembered.

It's very likely there are fewer than a dozen people that have ever held >100,000 Bitcoins. That would take two weeks of mining every single block in the days of 50BTC coinbase rewards. Reasonable estimations of Satoshi's mining vs. others in the pre-GPU days makes 100,000 very tight for more than a few individuals. This would also require continuous mining for several months unless you were the only person mining (which isn't the case for anyone but Satoshi). Hardly 'for kicks'.

If you look in old forum threads, you'll see that many people mining in 2009 and 2010 mined several blocks over few days or weeks of mining. That would net a few hundred coins, and sometimes a few thousand. The majority of mining was done this way. The opportunity for many individuals to mine 100,000 simply was not there. If you actually talked to more than one individual who did this, you probably met 2 out of the 3 biggest Bitcoin miners ever.
I'm picturing some kind of euware/(non-mal)ware for personal routers that will route unthrottled traffic on the side in some sort of peer-to-peer manner.
While on HN, you can feel the general air of acceptable ideas.

Sam Altman is not concerned that a leftist can't have a sane discussion on this website. But he IS concerned that a bigoted racist can't be openly bigoted at work.

Weird. I wonder why it is that Sam Altman is so concerned about the rights of bigots to be openly bigoted? Definitely couldn't be related to his relationship with Peter Thiel. No way...

The intent behind a gun registry is to empower courts, and potentially police. A judge would be able to identify that someone owns several more guns when considering whether to grant bail for an armed robbery, and the surrender of those weapons until trial might be a condition of bail. It might be useful information for a judge who is crafting an order of protection in a case of stalking or domestic violence.

Similarly, police who are serving an arrest warrant might be able to serve the warrant with the knowledge that person of interest has several firearms on the property. Sometimes police know this today, but not because of government records.

(I'm not arguing a personal position one way or the other, just explaining the rationale.)
Marketplace Platform Neutrality?
Can states enact their own Net Neutrality rules? If so, is there any likelihood of it happening in places like NY or CA?
Coming in 2019, electric companies monitor your usage profile to tell when you turn on different appliances and charge you a higher rate for running your TV or charging your electric car. But don't worry, the free market will fix it.
That's definitely not been my experience. I haven't heard anyone talk politics at all, with me or with each other, aside from occasional bits about American politics. And that covers a wide range of ages and social familiarity.
You joke but...

"The swamp" is a metaphor for DC politics. Unpleasant to navigate and very slow moving.
To further clarify, the FCC rules state that Only three commissioners can be of the same political party at any given time. Pai was Obama's nomination but he was not Obama's choice. He was McConnell's choice.

https://www.fcc.gov/about-fcc/what-we-do
What? If you're a staunch libertarian who wants the FCC to go away, how would the absence of FCC help net neutrality?

We only have (had!) net neutrality and other important regulatory protections because the FCC exists.

Something needs to exist as a protection against corporate abuse. If it's not a centralized agency, then what? There's no self-correcting mechanism in capitalism that magically prevents companies from screwing with consumers.
> But otherwise, be clear-eyed: elections have consequences. We elected the party of deregulation. Take the bad with whatever the good is, and work to flip the House back.

What I'm bitter about is that my vote, as a californian, is worth a tiny fraction of a vote in a swing state. Republican lawmakers have zero incentive to care about me, and red states are overrepresented in congress in relation to their small population.

The American people from a popular vote standpoint didn't want any of this, but they can be safety ignored by people who are abusing a flawed system. The voices of individual Californians count for very little unless they have money that they can spend on PACs and political campaigns. How is that democratic?

Please don't post political flamebait to HN. Even assuming you're right, posting like this destroys this site. Everyone commenting here needs to take responsibility for not doing that.

Just like it's even more important to guard against sparks when the forest is already dry, it's even more important to take this responsibility when the topic is already politicized.

I think as long as you keep track of who you're sharing with (maybe keep it to family, close friends who actually care about the children) it's really no different than emailing pics or breaking out wallet snapshots during parties. The only additional issue would be Facebook's face-tracking algorithms and things like that - a parent would have to make their own determination about that.

> My network carrier already does some anti net neutral things that I like.

Like what? You do realize that we're all paying $1 more a month for Netflix because Comcast decided to go "rent seeking" and throttled their traffic until they paid up? Our Netflix bills were increased shortly after. You're being fucked by anti-NN, whether you realize it or not.
Well, another way of putting it is "Liberals are tolerant of anything except intolerance"

If I want to be a tolerant and accepting person, do I have to accept someone who wants to deny a group of people to marry the person they love? Do I have to tolerate someone who wants to control a woman's body?

This is similar to a love of freedom; I want everyone to have freedom, but that means having to restrict the freedom to infringe on other people's freedom. That might seem to be a contradiction, but it is a paradox you have to address.
wasn't etsy the company that was using amazon and shifted back to their own infra because they said cloud is not as cheap as own infra?
Did they use another provider prior to the move, or self-host?
They could conceivably just demand subsidies from Google, Facebook etc. and charge customers nothing.

Then they can say to some degree of truth say that bringing net neutrality back would force them to raise prices.
That's exactly how democracy works.
Probably nothing remotely resembling this belongs in anything remotely resembling production code, but:

This works for AMZN as long as customers don't get fed up with the results of this lack of attention to category detail:

Could we do the same thing with sickle cell?
I get that this is incidental to the point, but since he leads with China as an example, I wonder if it's possible that the topics he thinks will be controversial are simply ones that people are less passionate about in China. Every culture has its own "hot-button" topics.

Try pointing out that Taiwan is a separate country sometime and you'd be absolutely shocked at the reaction you get from some people, even though they have different passports and a separate government. A Chinese engineer at Google once threatened to resign and started a a major firestorm over a dessert called "Free Tibet Goji Chocolate Creme Pie":

I've edited the post.
Net neutrality was a band-aid from the start for a larger problem that was unaddressed. ISP's, big telecom, etc. are/were committing acts that are illegal under existing law. For example, they were blocking certain sites/services that were competing with their own. That's a clear cut felony of restraint of trade. And possible other felonies related to monopolistic and anti-competitive practices.

The correct solution to this was to put the people responsible for approving those actions in jail for those crimes. But we didn't do that. Instead, we got net neutrality. The Rule of Law continues to be ignored in the US and with net neutrality the offending companies were simply forced to wine and dine us with a fancy dinner before deciding to fuck us whenever they wanted.
No, it isn't. I live in NYC. I have access to exactly one broadband provider. So, if Spectrum starts blocking Vonage because they want you to pay for their VoIP instead (ISPs in the US have done this in the past), I'll have to drop Vonage and use Spectrum's VoIP. Repeat for blocking P2P, Google Wallet, Facetime, Netflix, etc (all of which have previous incidents in the US).
You realize a T1 is a measly megabit-and-a-half right? Crappy 3G is faster.
One follow-on to your final paragraph: the thing is that small-town Texas (depending on the area) does look a lot different from Georgia.

It's probably got a good deal more Latinos (Angleton, or any town as you head west), it's probably got more Vietnamese and folks of Vietnamese descent (coastal towns, Port Arthur), it's probably got a more functioning economy (notable exceptions like Rockport).

In some ways (if you look up the statistics above) rural Texas most resembles rural California.
The comment you replied to mentioned the USA. North America is a continent that includes 23 countries, only one of them is the USA. Living in one of the other 22 countries and looking at the USA, I would tend to agree with the comment that you were replying to, as the USA is becoming more and more an oligarchy, and less like a democracy.
Freedom of speech is part of a legal framework. It means you won't be arrested for something you say or express. Doesn't mean anyone has to have a positive response to everything anyone says.
Capricious means "given to sudden and unaccountable changes of mood or behavior."

AFAIK at no point during the process did Pai change much at all. He made it clear what he was going to do from the beginning and stuck to it the whole way through.
Amen, may the ranked ballot reign supreme one day. First past the post always trends towards Bicameralism, and if we could rank our options on the local, state, and national level I think we would see a lot more accurate reflection of our ideals in our representative government. Ranked Ballot Choices means no more wasted votes. Thanks for your comment, these are strange and exciting times. May peace prevail
What else would you call foodstamps, housing assistance and TANF?
People don't need to have experienced something firsthand in order to have a "self-righteous, smug and viscerally hostile attitude" towards it. In fact, they are more likely to be hostile to things they haven't experienced. This seems to be genetically programmed, as it transcends cultures and history.
10 friends sharing a t1 falls apart if more than 1 friend wants to stream a movie at the same time. Or if just one friend wants to stream a HD movie. A t1 is 1.54mbit.
Nope. They just whitelist whatever they want, then everything else (including VPNs) gets throttled or capped.
Yes I tried to mitigate that in my child comment. It is, as you mentioned, a highly partisan matter though and has been beaten to death on this forum and others. I don't know how else to approach the subject when there is such clear malfeasance coming from one side of the debate. Perhaps "not at all" would be the correct choice.
I know exactly what it was like. Look at the graph in this article, and tell me you weren't fucked by lack of NN several years ago, if you were a Comcast customer: https://technical.ly/philly/2014/05/09/graph-shows-netflix-s...

Then, shortly after Netflix agreed to pay Comcast's extortion money, they had to raise rates by $1 a month. So, we're all paying extortion money to Comcast. Learn some recent history before you form an opinion.
> Amazon is so decentralized that the anti-patterns you list are probably only under your VP.

One would think so, yet friends in other orgs tell me stories that make me feel the rot has reached the top. Or, those at the top who are't rotted are too far away from anyone doing anything. Jeff Bezos may believe in the Leadership Principles but that doesn't matter if he's 8 levels of management away from the people actually doing anything, and none of those 7 levels in between give a shit about anything other than hitting their numbers.
You're paying $XX every month for Y amount of bandwidth, it shouldn't matter whether it's used by netflix or viewing text. People however fear that ISPs will start charging you extra for every popular site you want to use, no matter its bandwidth usage (e.g. HN, Reddit, Facebook).

My mother lives in a rural part of Kentucky. While staying with her over the summer, I visited the office of the local DSL broadband provider, ‘Brandenburg Telephone’ and it was like a step back in time. This is one of the areas Comcast deemed unworthy of serving and the result is very affordable max 5mbps internet with top notch customer service.

I wonder how this region will be affected. Anyone have predictions?
It is AppleCare+, which is slightly better.
It wasn't Verizon, it was Comcast: https://technical.ly/philly/2014/05/09/graph-shows-netflix-s...
Your assumptions of how the internet works are incorrect.

Comcast wants you to believe you are buying an amount of data from them. In reality you are paying for a pipe that has a given throughput. If the ISP oversold that capacity that's their problem. Yes, bandwidth is limited but that's why you pay for a big enough pipe to do what you want. bandwidth is also limited because ISPs like Comcast do not want to invest in their infrastructure and feel little market pressure to do so.

Streaming services are not getting a free ride. Big tech is simply using the internet. This concept that somehow people are using the internet too much is absurd.
Is the virus transmissible?
I don't know if you're aware, but cable was billed as an adless way to get the because you were _already_ paying for it. Then the companies flip flop Ed and started putting ads in. Just because they've gotten away with it for a long time doesn't make it ok. It's not ok for me to punch you in the face even if I've been doing it for 20 years with no consequence.

If we take your argument as well, then piracy is perfectly fine because people have been doing it for a long time and it's become a normal aspect of the consumption.
