Was a bit surprised by Marc Andreessen being on that list, turns out those comments were made in 2014 when he thought Google Fiber would shake up the market and competition would solve this issue.

Was also surprised to see Eric Schmidt on that page, though his argument was you should be able to discriminate voice vs video, but not Hulu vs Netflix, which makes some sense if you want to provide lower voice latency, but I think you don't want ISPs to be able to sell you voice and video separately.

Yellow, cyan, and magenta don't correspond to particular wavelengths. They each correspond to a combination of two particular, adjacent wavelengths.

E.g. a "yellow" wavelength is only as bright as its decomposition into red and green. The fact that red & blue aren't adjacent is a red herring.

As a parent of three adolescents I enjoy the fact that I can reach my kids whenever and Find My Friends allows me to confirm that they made it to school safely on a snowy day, for example.

However.

I did some volunteer teaching for a couple of years at my son’s school. Interestingly, I didn’t seem to observe students reaching in and initiating engagement with their phone very often. It was almost always in response to the “buzz”. It was so clear. They are there taking notes, looking at you, or even just staring at the floor. And I would see the small “snap” bodily response that happens when the phone buzzes with whatever. And mentally they might as well have jumped up and walked straight out of class. They were gone. Not “half paying attention while looking at this thing” but completely transported to a different sphere.

Having every student disable all push notifications during class time would have solved nearly all the problems I witnessed. They developed “driving mode”, would sure be nice if they did an easy-to-access “class mode” where every notification of any type except a text or call from mom or dad was suppressed. Sure, some would refuse to enable class mode but with the students I taught, if I reminded at the beginning of class to turn it on, I suspect a fair amount of my students would have done it voluntarily.

A POTS phonejack can use pair(s) in CAT 5 (or 5e, 6), and newish buildings often already run it to the wall jacks rather than CAT 3.

> I mean, I could ask you the same about standard oil and Microsoft. How are they different? They both abused their monopoly.

This is my point: I don't see why we need specific laws carved out for ISPs, as opposed to laws that do equally apply to Standard Oil and Microsoft.

The regulations that are being repealed don't solve the problem. They're extremely narrowly designed to regulate a couple businesses by an agency who's job isn't policing business practices, but what those businesses are doing that needs to be regulated is already supposed to be regulated a different way: Anticompetitive practices are already illegal, and we need to enforce those rules. This is an FTC and DOJ problem, not an FCC problem.

_If_ I wanted do this (and was a government):
- Prohibit trading of cryptocurrencies, punishable by several years in prison if caught. Structure it so that you can personally go to prison even if you did it as part of a business. This should 'discourage' casual investors.
- Pass a law stating banks can lose their banking license if they allow transactions from/to crypto exchanges.

Basically, declare cryptocurrencies to be similar to hard drugs or something and follow the same playbook. Obviously the real hardcore crypto lovers will still keep using it, and it will also not deter criminals who were outside of the 'regular' system anyway. But if you have a functioning law enforcement system like most western countries, you could certainly keep cryptocurrencies from playing any large role in your economy.

with regards to point #1, not all students have access to such phones. the only solution to your point I see is to insure they all have them. teachers can not change unless all students can go along for the change, hence how do we remedy that?

teachers should not have to compete for a child's attention nor have to prevent a child from being a distraction to others in class.

TP-Link is a major networking equipment manufacturer globally and one of the largest in China, just behind Huawei.

Yes, and it’s fairly easy to hide an earplug by adopting a leaning posture.

Also we read comics and books, and played games on our calculators, exchanged paper messages etc., though you would classify that as active distractions I guess.

> On your BOM you should not forget a best-in-class 5K 27" monitor. A 4K TV is nice, but it's not on the same price range as the iMac's display.

While I don't begrudge someone who enjoys a small monitor, for me, usable screen real estate is priority #1. Pixel density is nice, but not at the expense of usable real estate. So I'll take two (or even one!) 40-inch 4K monitors running at 100% UI zoom over a small 5K monitor running at 250% UI zoom.

I'm not sure why you mentioned televisions. The displays I bought in 2015 are Philips BDM4065UC monitors [1], which clocked in at $700 a piece in 2015.

> As for the computer, the CPU alone is about US$ 1400. Add PCIe flash storage, RAM, a US$ 800-1000 GPU and you are quickly matching that US$ 5000 range for a regular PC running Linux, even before you add a 5K HDR monitor.

In 2015, I was able to build out a 32 HT core dual Xeon E5v3 with 128 GB of ECC DDR4, an Intel NVMe SSD, a Samsung SATA SSD, and a 9-series nVidia GPU for ~$3,500. The two 4K monitors brought the grand total very close to $5K.

Today, $5K should get you the same along with some mix of more cores, faster clock rates, a 10-series nVidia GPU, or possibly even an Optane SSD.

I suspect that small 5K monitor Apple is using is a major cost driver. It's a shame it's permanently affixed to the computer and not optional.

The safe way of avoiding that is to inject it directly into the FR24 feed, rather than broadcasting it as ADS-B.

A considerable proportion of their data is receiving from end-users running their own receivers, rather than the FR24-branded receiver. They do reject spurious data from one receiver but genuine-looking data would be hard to detect and discard.

I hate to be the dismissive one, but I've seen a similar demo on a developer's laptop on CPU. On 32GB of RAM and 4/8 (core/thread) I have demos with billions of rows of data that I can report on similarly.

Here's a demo of Azure Analysis Services looking at similar Taxi data. Demo starts around 11:00 https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/christian-wade-shows-...

Ninja edit: I missed the data load times. I have a current customer loading a (much larger than my laptop demo) 1.5B row dataset with large dimensionality into a single node SSAS instance. They can process the whole model (dump and reload data) in 1.5 hours.

If I hear that 20 GPUs are necessary, I would expect multiple more orders of magnitude of data.

Was it known the nazis were evil when IBM helped them? Did IBM even know what their stuff was used for?

Different times, different situations. The US was full of anti-semites too, and didn't hesitate to put anyone with Japanese heritage into concentration camps after Pearl Harbor - and nobody cared. That stuff has been covered up / hardly mentioned, ever since. And the US and its citizens doesn't seem to have a problem putting "enemy combatants" into concentration / torture camps after 9/11 (Guantanamo Bay). And that's just the stuff we know of. There's also the much more mysterious CIA dark sites, who knows what went on in there.

I'm not saying China is any better from a moral standpoint, but the US and the businesses in there - often working together - aren't any better. See also the Snowden leaks, that proved the big tech companies were in cahoots with the NSA, amongst other things to profile for "enemy combatants" in the US.

> ISPs want to rescind the 2015 NN rules so they can vertically integrate their content and delivery products, mostly because their content offerings are utter crap and can't compete in a free market.

This is certainly true as well. But we've seen with T-Mobile's zero-rating that it's faster and cheaper to acquire/retain new customers through partnering and network management. To your point, and to compete with Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast, I believe T-Mobile announced a TV-related acquisition today.

> Also, medical devices?! Hospitals can/do buy dedicated lines with QoS guarantees and then monitor their own networks' use of those lines; all of that is 100% allowed under NN... so unless your argument is that it would be a net good to add medical devices to the Internet of Crap ecosystem, this is a fantastic argument in favor in net neturality ;-)

Hospitals are already being addressed, as you say, with dedicated lines and VPNs. I'm referring to the millions of device endpoints sitting on consumer-grade (NN limited) wired/wireless networks. Rescinding NN will allow the ISPs to sell premium prioritized QoS to medical and security services companies who can bundle access to their customers. I'm not sure how this will play out in practice though.

> You can't do this with electrons.

The point is that for an ISP, Internet packets are routed via dozens of network interconnects and millions of content sources on a variable QoS consumer demand basis. On the contrary, electricity is generic and is (ideally) sourced on a lowest cost basis and QoS is strictly determined on a supply/demand dimension.

> If I happen to use a tranmission medium that uses electrons instead of photons, does that suddenly mean my ISP should be bound by NN regulations?

I'm not advocating against NN. I'm just pointing out that the electricity analogy is inaccurate. I'm also pointing out that the ISPs want to offer premium Qos and, yes, their own content offerings.
I have fond memories of running MM simulations on an SGI workstation so I totally grok the potential. Not arguing against the utility of QC - just trying to slow down the hype train. Telling someone that downloading an SDK will anytime soon solve climate change is distracting from the currently available non-QC options we have.

My concern is magic tech solutions to easily solved problems allow lazy humans to keep polluting and point to some phantasmagorical silver bullet in the not too distant future...which inevitably comes much much later than expected.

In short, at current CO2 emission growth rates, the Antarctic ice sheets will melt long before QC allows chemists to produce emission free petroleum use or planet scale carbon capture and sequestration. Let's use those future tools for Mars colonization in 2150, but for now, for our kids' sakes, let's stop making throwaway plastic baubles by the tons, relying on petroleum based fertilizers for Big Mac production, and fix the many very solvable behavioral problems with today's tech.
