I'll share a case against the current NN framework, even if I don't wholly buy it.

First of all, this vote is factually about giving the government less regulatory power by reclassifying ISPs under Title 1. The legal basis for Net Neutrality under Title II allows the government to dictate prices and essentially regulate ISPs like they do water or electric utilities. Obviously ISPs would prefer to not have this axe swinging over their heads.

> The government currently says that ISP's must treat internet traffic equally. This is a good thing and is hardly micromanaging.

It's a matter of opinion whether this is a good thing. One counter-argument is that it limits the size of the menu that ISPs can offer. My parents, for example, want fast home Internet access but do not watch streaming video. However home ISPs cannot offer downgraded video, so my parents must pay more.

Zero-rated ("free streaming") music - blatantly non-NN - is another argument. Obviously people like streaming music for free. NN proponents think this makes it hard for startups to compete with deep-pocketed established players. But this does not seem to be happening: lots and lots of services, both big and small, are now zero-rated on popular plans.

> The internet should really be nothing more than a dumb pipe.

Well, maybe it shouldn't. Applications have different needs: twitch games want low latency, streaming services want high bandwidth, overnight downloads can have low priority, etc. If you had a knob that controlled your Internet latency, wouldn't you use it?

But even if you believe it should be dumb, is it proper to declare that ISPs are natural monopolies and therefore ought to be regulated aggressively under Title II? Or is it better to apply a light touch and find ways to encourage competition, under the premise that competitive markets are more consumer-friendly? The recent upheavals in the mobile telecom market (led by T-Mobile) show that established players can be more vulnerable than they look.

I think basically we don't know. The most compelling arguments for NN are all hypothetical, because we have been living under a NN regime so far.
I was turned down by both Bank of America and Columbia Bank (local WA State bank), as it violated their security procedures at the time - this was about 10 years ago.

The reasoning presented was a little suspicious - they envisioned someone "forcing" you to unwillingly take a loan (of like $100) by depositing it into your account. Then they would demand their $100 back and use this as leverage to blackmail or otherwise disrupt your life.

But I don't totally disagree. To me, depositing money into another person's bank feels...improper - like performing an oil change on someone else's car, or taking someone else's books back to the library, or walking into your neighbor's unlocked house to lock all the doors. There are very good reasons someone would want these done for them, and also edge cases where these would cause an issue for the other person. It's a moral grey area to me.
Would you care to have a chat?
I had read that it costs several thousand per quarter for those audited reports. Still Title IV is a step forward, I agree. Granted others get to raise money from VCs or crowdfunding without those, just not securities.
> But where do you get your certainty?

By way of an understanding of human nature. From the book Bull! A history of boom and bust:

“...A bubble, Galbraith observed, is always supported by the belief that there is something new in the world. The history of past cycles is dismissed as irrelevant.“

That’s it in a nutshell. It is a time-tested part of who we are, and it’s almost like you’re either born with the ability to see that or you’re not. I don’t know why.

I don’t know how much the price will go up, but it going up, even to a million dollars a coin, means little. It will eventually go down and violently so, and some people will be badly hurt. Just people being people.

Assets need to be productive in order to be true investments. Like farmland or businesses. Otherwise, you’re speculating on price appreciation. Look at gold over the last 100 years and overlay its price graph over the Dow Jones during the same period. They’re not even close.

http://www.macrotrends.net/1333/historical-gold-prices-100-y...

http://stockcharts.com/freecharts/historical/marketindexes.h...

That’s the difference between speculation and investment.
Yup, that’s where I’ll flip the switches to make the other repos public, when we’re ready to set the code free.
Fish is really great for using it in your terminal. Autocompletion, fuzzy matching, and so on, are amazing.

Unfortunately, although it is fully scriptable, writing scripts in Fish feels a little clunky at times. For example, I wanted to test if $dest exists, and if not, whether $src is newer than $dest. Since there are no && or ||, parentheses are used for command substitution, and the Fish version of "test" has no -nt to check if a file is newer, I have to do this:

if begin; not command test -f $dest; end; or begin; command test $src -nt $dest; end
# do something
end

I gave it a try a couple years ago and I remember having issues with RVM (Ruby Version Manager). Hope is fixed though
I’ve been enjoying fish for the handy tab complete of command line options, the interactive history, and it’s pretty.

I’m certainly guilty of finding one-liners online which frequently fail in fish, which puts me in the position of either actually learning what the terse statement actually does and re-implementing it in the fish “c-like” syntax, or I just drop into bash then get on with my business.

Really happy with it, but I know I get sideways stares from graybeards and gurus who consider it the small-batch, fixed-gear, “Crocs” of shells.
Yeah, wow... I would have to spend at least 15 minutes figuring out what that does.
I feel like some underestimate the .NET framework. Microsoft has done a great job of really opening up and building a better eco system for developers to work with. Years ago there was a common stereotype that .NET was old and not cool. I believe it still has a place and is a strong server side framework.
Your scripts should begin with #!/bin/bash or similar so you can execute them from anywhere. Are there bash built-in commands or functions that you need while in fish?
Yep. There isn't a single programming language that doesn't have things that I hate.
Happy user here. If you spend a lot of time in the shell fish is totally worth checking out.

Good points:

* Fish's completion sure saves a lot of typing

* `brew install fish` on osx

* Config in ~/.config/ rather than cluttering up the root of your homedir

* Can change many settings without needing to edit config directly - eg. `set -U fish_user_paths $fish_user_paths ~/path/name`

Bad / not intended for:

* It's not for scripting. Just use bash for that.

* I've found appending to env vars to be fiddly. Maybe I'm doing it wrong

* pyvenv's bin/activate.fish was broken for a long time (not fish's fault!)
That's a very facile response to the article (sadly, the article doesn't go into any depth on the subject). One could just as well ask the same about any property that we perceive in the senses and later apprehend through the intellect.

EDIT: I did find this review, but I haven't read it[0].

I have been an on and off q user for a few years. KDB+/Q is a great system, but in my opinion it is best used for its correct purpose;and that purpose is primarily time series and data streaming.

The columnar structure of the DB as well as its IPC layer make it very good at creating chains of processes that can be used to stream row updates and branch them out to different processes with different responsibilities. Likewise it's on disk database is great for running complex (time series) queries.

This speed and terseness comes at a cost of being fairly "old school" in its approach. It's only recently for instance the we got stack traces, and readability is definitely not for the faint of heart though this depends on how it is written.

In my view the biggest thing that is needed right now is better tooling and libraries. Some attempts have been made to do this, and I am hearing that the new initiatives by kx will be addressing this in the coming months. The lack of standardized testing library/framework also can be problematic, as every team that I have seen does it slightly differently, and a "best practice" would beneficial.
1) web based configuration? really?

I've been using fish for 3 ~ 4 years and I love it. It's come a long was in its development and it's interesting to watch as so many of the bugs have been resolved. Today's fish is incredibly stable and solid. The history, highlighting and completion are well beyond what I've seen in other shells (at least not without adding additional plugins).

I still write scripts in bash for compatibility (when I have to; I try to use Python whenever it's an option), but for my interactive shell, fish is really amazing and I'd hate to go back to anything else.
I know that "crushing grind" all too well, but it looks like this person has escaped only to play the dot-com lottery, which in its current incarnation "disrupts" while generating no real value. Is underpaying maids (Homejoy) worth more than brain research?
It is fixed, RVM supports Fish now - https://rvm.io/integration/fish
AFAIK Ponoko just uses the line widths to indicate cuts vs etching. they provide an Inkscape template but I don't think it's required so long as the line widths are right.

Make is it's own thing, and not really tied to C in any way.

I've written more makefiles for Java projects when I despised Eclipse than for any other reason. I'm sure that's completely wrong and fucking awful, but it worked really, really well.

You are likely correct, exported is the wrong word, and my mind was within my personal org-mode workflow.
That is the one thing I really didn't like about Fish; that and how the help screens use to launch in a web browser. But once you get past the initial configuration, you never use that stuff again. Despite that fault, I still love Fish shell.
Some people could be in it for the adrenalin.

I posted this. Found this doc while browsing: http://thinkingcomplete.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1

Some of the advice here seems to value just being at university as an experience in of itself. Other bits are tips on how to optimise for graduating quickly or learning loads.

I think I personally lean towards the former. I don't see the rush to get out of uni quickly or learn loads fast - compared to three years as an undergraduate, life is pretty long (on average) and university seems like a pretty important part of growing up that's hard to recreate later on in life.
Well, portability, for one.

Also, Webpack is a sequence of one-liner incantations that do things that would be annoying to by hand, like starting a websocket server to talk to your application to hot-swap the code.

The declarative config is an improvement over Gulp and Makefiles for that reason. Same reason I prefer pom.xml over build.gradle.

The coastal cities aren't, but the southern central valley cities (Bakersfield, notably) are in the desert.
Because the time between when you've made the decision to place the order and when you actually physically place it is enough time for the market to shift drastically. "The number shown" may be different in fewer milliseconds than it takes the signal from your brain to reach your finger, plus the delivery time for the web request to the server.

A couple markets have had flash crashes down to pennies. Imagine placing a market sell order right before that happens, selling your bitcoin for $0.15 instead of $15,000.

In reality you're usually somewhat safe, but market orders are always a small gamble for this reason.
The shot has power lines in it, but they're not really the focus. It's a busy nightlife scene, and the power lines serve that effect.

In the Patlabor shot, the detailed power infrastructure is a bit more purposeful, adding to the atmosphere of an average suburban neighborhood full of average people. But again, it's not the star of the shot -- it's just one of a handful of choices that create the mood.

In Evangelion, the shots are framed to draw your attention to a wooden pole with a transformer box that was probably designed in the '60s, serving as a stark contrast with all the futuristic technology around it.
Huh... that seems like a separate category from the domestic speculators I was thinking about.

But then, how does an influx of a large number of fad buyers strengthen cryptocurrencies in the long term, if these buyers just completely forget that they own cryptocoins after the hype dies down?

Yep I was referring specifically to the idea of Uber options converting to stock worth some reasonable price. The idea of Uber completely imploding to $0 seems rather far fetched, but it depends on strike price, etc.
I think one trend in the article is that the more in deductions you normally save (so if you own a house and have dependents), the more you will lose from these plans. On the other hand, if you usually have few deductions, then the increased standard deduction will result in more money saved.

Last year I was excited about Elm, this year about Reason. I follow a bunch of Reason folks on Twitter and see lots interesting projects. I also keep seeing React core devs keep dropping hints that React will be rewritten in Reason which makes sense since originally it was written in SML.
Racism
Yes, but even the innovation in those countries is concentrated in a few key cities. Akkra, Nairobi, j'burg, etc. There are huge disconnected swaths of people in all of those countries.

It's nuts to imagine that Africa as a continent compares to the West in terms of fintech. We like to imagine Africa as a monolith; it's a terrible mistake.
Do you mean downloading using unsupported 3rd party tools? Because those have to be regularly updated to ensure they even work and could some day stop working entirely if Google decided to care about blocking such tools.

In comparison, GitHub offers a simple clone button (among ways) which gives you everything.
I also think it's a bit ridiculous to start advising people to "go native" because of the possibility of being featured in the app store.

The cost of doing two native apps is not small at all, and I imagine (not being a mobile dev) that being featured in the App store is a LOT easier for a family friendly app like OP's than the average. I'd also assume the vast majority of native apps don't get featured.

It's well-intentioned advice, but the cost-benefit analysis is nowhere near that simple.

falcolas, I was going to ask something similar to Doreen had she not posted first. While I can understand why you might assume that these posts are intended to derail and deceive, I think it's more parsimonious to believe that these HN posters are genuinely looking for discussion and enlightenment.

None of the posts you provided seem sinister. The only thing shared between them is that the posters are hesitant to throw in their support without a detailed argument befitting a complicated issue like net neutrality. An explanation like the following (battleforthenet.com):

What is net neutrality? Why does it matter?

Net neutrality is the principle that Internet providers like
Comcast & Verizon should not control what we see and do online.

is insufficient to someone looking for something more comprehensive. If anything, the FUD and tribalism¹ surrounding this issue are clear signals that the underlying truth is probably quite complicated.

¹ From battleforthenet.com:

We are Team Internet. We support net neutrality, freedom of speech.

They are Team Cable. They want to end net neutrality, to control & tax the Internet.
In the US, the FDA tries to incentivize it:

Human relationships - pardon me - suck. They're never easy. Try as you might there are always mismatches, there are always misunderstanding.

I would imagine that if you're feeling uncomfortable, so is the other person. It's rare it's a complete surprise, eh. As leadership (or at least management) it's time to apply The Golden Rule. It's that what you want?

Finally, if this pattern repeats too many times too often then it's time to revist your hiring practices. A pattern means the problem is internal, and not the new hire.
This looks nice. I wonder why they decided on security comparable to RSA 2048? It won't be useful in practical application for a few more years anyways.

For sure attacks on a Post-quantum signature schemes would be different in every way than RSA,but if that comparison is meant to compare how long a full key space search would take utilizing existing computational limits,then wouldn't that security be a wee bit on the weak side by the time this gets mainstream acceptance?

I would certainly not accept RSA-2048 signatures 5 years from now any more than I would RSA-1024 now.
What about Coffee Script? Was it forgotten even though version 2 has been released recently with all features I missed and more?
Hmm how did you calculate the DC to be $288 for total of two?

You’re forgetting currency control evasion. If a businessman from a country with tight controls wants to move money out of the country he would buy bitcoin and then sell it the other side of the border. This sort of activity is going on all the time, and it creates demand for crypto currencies.
Just curious, since their website pretty clearly points out "sane scripting" as a high point, what makes it bad for scripting from your perspective?
Wait, I'm confused by your numbers there.

Buy: 300 LTC @ 241 = $72,300 + 1.49% fee ($1077) = $73,377 cost basis

Sell: 300 LTC @ 251 = $75,300 - 1.49% fee ($1122) = $74,178 gross

$74,178 - $73,377 = $801 net

and that's before accounting for taxes. What am I missing here?

I remember enjoying Serial Experiments Lain back in the day, good to hear it still holds up.

If you (or anyone else reading this) enjoy cyberpunk anime, I can recommend checking out the UK dub of Cyber City Oedo 808. Very different from Lain, but has a classic 90s anime feel, and has more of an adult-oriented tone without being unnecessarily graphic. The UK dub has a different soundtrack from the Japanese release, has only been released on VHS, but luckily all three episodes are easy to find on YouTube.

i wonder if you could set up an agent on your phone (for instance) that 'sells' one ad per day to the highest bidder. your data profile lives on your phone encrypted up the wazoo but there's an API that goes out, finds the company wanting to get in touch with x, y, z person and is willing to pay, say $50 to get in touch with you.
That's because NN is a proxy for what most people really want, which is competition among ISPs. If we had a choice of several good broadband providers, we wouldn't need regulation, we would expect competition among them to protect consumers' needs.

Since we don't, we need some kind of regulation to keep ISPs from abusing their monopoly status. In general, "pro net neutrality" means you think the regulations should be abundant and strict (like they are with water and power utilities) and "anti net neutrality" means you think they should be light and weak (like they are with, say, cable TV). Disagreement within those camps on specifics does not mean that there are not, broadly, two camps.

"Is cheating in a relationship always wrong?" is a question I asked several women during my single days, and I was very surprised that the answers I received were not all consistent.

Your comment here would not fit in a 280 character tweet (or 2 original 140 character tweets).

There's a nugget of wisdom in what you're saying, and it animates a lot of the backlash on Twitter for expanding to 280 in the first place. But I think the value isn't concision but clarity. Concision forces clarity in some contexts, for some people, but destroys it in many other circumstances.
If you're paying a third party to keep you private, then in paying them you've already breached your privacy because they need to know who you are in order to;

2. Work out what your digital footprint is
