Agreed. We should never have been putting "apps" on the web in the first place. Giving control from the client over to the server is a terrible idea, and I'm amazed it ever took off.
I experience the same thing and it's really frustrating. I refuse to install Facebook applications on my phone, and they've needlessly crippled their mobile site (disabling messages except mbasic.facebook.com among many other things). If I so much as check a notification then go back to the newsfeed, it's different content and hit/miss as to whether I can find the top post again.
I’m not even sure Etsy will exist in two years.
YES.

Hopefully when sanity takes office, we don't repeal the changes in net neutrality, but rather repeal the laws that created these insane corporate monopolies in the first place!
Would Lambda work for On-Prem at all?
Republicans are not for what they state their principles are.
The essay was not so much against "life extension is bad" as against "people who think life extension is good are bad."
no, Fox OWNED A New Hope, and it says so in the article you posted
If you can somehow convince your HOA to let you put up a tower, then yes, it's feasible. And if you are doing microwave link only, it's pretty cheap.

You can rent space on a nearby cell tower for a pricy-but-not-insane monthly fee, and they'll usually have decent backhaul already present. (American Tower had a WISP sales program specifically for this at one point, I'm not sure if they still do). Run point-to-point from there to your neighborhood via some microwave WISP gear.

If you had a volunteer from the HOA willing to setup and manage it (a bigger ask than it sounds like), and if all 130 houses would agree to pay $50/month, then the math would work out OK (at least, using pricing I got in suburban Michigan about 4 years ago).
I get really frustrated with this constant refrain that every idea needs to be responded to on its merits, and you aren't allowed to EVER just dismiss an idea.

While this sounds good in theory, in practice you have to draw the line somewhere. Do I need to engage in a debate about whether the earth is flat or not every time someone says it is flat? Am I not allowed to just dismiss the idea and say 'this is not something that is up to debate'?

Not all ideas are worthy of discussion, and someties you have to tell the people constantly proposing ideas that we have addressed before to knock it off.
> You're complaining about servers going down while acknowledging that the number of comments was unprecedented?

Yes I am. My point is that they did a poor job at soliciting feedback--not that they didn't get a lot. The fact the volume was so high just shows how important it was for this issue. If servers are going offline, then you can show good faith by extending the comment period or addressing it in some other manor.

Being "required to solicit comments and to consider them" doesn't mean you only consider a subset containing legal arguments.
Yes, but in Beijing, you see, you can discuss radical life extension with fellow Chinese billionaires. That really changes everything. /s
most cost cuts come from automation (as you already noticed).
but not just more automation in ops/sysadmin space, but mostly because you can just free resources you don't need.
especially one-off jobs (analytics, etc.) take a huge amount of resources for a very short amount of time and after that time the resources aren't needed.
on clouds you can hope to schedule them preemtivly.

also most cost savings come at night, if you are not active on the whole globe you probably only need half of your resources at night. even if your global the chances are high that at some time you still need way less resources.
etsy is a marketplace on most marketplaces there are times where demand is really high and demand is certainly not so high. (christmas, black firday, regressions, etc..)

also if you self host, high availability can and is a pain.
monitoring your database is a pain, it takes a huge amount of time, which most companies do not have.

p.s. working at a small company and services like RDS/gcloud postgres! (thanks google) google buckets (not sure how they are called their name is not as cool as s3)/S3 are a huge win for us.
You SHOULD be work more, and you should be glad to work more. Your work supports the best, most free, most prosperous country that has ever existed. You want to be mad and thrash around, like a bull in a China shop. I understand, but your reaction to negative outcomes is itself much more negative. You must be positive, listening, constantly productive and at your best behaviour. You must do this yourself because you need other people to do it, and we must all lead by example.

I know you're mad, and that things aren't going the way you want to, but the truth is that things in USA and Canada are excellent and we should be very careful to get mad and start breaking things because we want to keep our promised land pristine.

You're like a man with a blindfold and a baseball bat, and our democracy is the pinata. You can only do damage by swinging your bat around. You cannot help democracy that way.
Most of the time you really only have one ISP to choose from, so it is kind of monopoly already in practice, now with this brain-dead repeal, what will happen then? Don't like this at all.

Was this reported to the Chrome bug bounty program? https://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/chrome-rewards/
I am confused by this comment. You pay ISPs for connection to content providers (assuming net neutrality). It is normal to expect people to pay the content providers for the content itself either directly or through watching ads. You can argue (and I would agree) that some content is not worth it, but this is not ISP related (again assuming net neutrality).
2017 Was Bad for Bloomberg. 2018 Will Be Worse. All of these anti-Facebook articles should have disclaimers informing readers that they are in competition with Facebook and that Facebook is winning.
i agree, the hemophilia data looks really good, and avexis' spinal muscular atrophy product looks great as well. i dont know much about voyager but just looked at their press release for the study; looks like they are delivering a gene to increase dopamine production? do you know if this could be a disease altering therapy or just a "better" levodopa?

its still pretty hard from what i can tell to deliver oligos to specific cells. delivery has been a huge challenge for ASOs, mRNA etc. viral vectors and autologous cell therapies have been used but have limitations, and antibody-tagged "targeted" nanoparticles have also been tried with varying degrees of success.

theres been some really clever developments in delivering oligos with cationic lipid nanoparticles to macrophages. biontech has an approach where theyve made nanoparticles that are naturally taken up by macropinocytosis by dendritic cells and macrophages. if you get the overall charge of the nanoparticle right (net negative i believe), the dendritic cells migrate to the spleen (rather than the lung with positive charge), where they can present antigen encoded with mRNA to t cells. they also have some interesting mRNA tech that increases the transfection efficiency, as it is hard to prevent oligos from getting degraded in lysosomes before they are translated. genentech paid them $310M upfront for a preclinical asset
I had it as well at 100Mbs before Google fiber. The service itself worked great, but it had to be subsidized by taxpayers throughout its lifetime - it never broke even after the subscribers fees.
I understand bitcoin are traded like this but it doesn't address this issue the parent raises. Also if you are trading through an exchange like this you are likely exposed to even greater risks.

If you buy some bitcoin from an exchange and you don't get the bitcoin in an address you control, you are effectively buying an IOU for the bitcoin. The value of the IOU depends not only on the value of bitcoin but also on the exchanges willingness/ability to repay it.

If the exchange doesn't own a similar amount of bitcoins as they have sold IOUs, at the current market value they couldn't possibly repay the IOUs they issued a month ago. If a significant amount of people they have issued IOUs want to redeem them, then they will surely need to sell some bitcoins to repay the IOUs they have issued.

By using a futures market they could limit their exposure price changes when buying or selling coins they don't have, but these markets are quite young and it's certainly not clear how much risk these exchanges are exposing themselves to.

As you apparently understand this better than we do, what do you think will happen on these exchanges if the value of bitcoin starts falling rapidly?

The Review Index
Group versus individuals. Stereotypes can be accurate on average between groups but inaccurate for individuals. The accuracy versus bias distinction of the paper kind of overlooks this, even though it's the crux of the issue in many ways.
> More interestingly, typesetting classical Ge’ez poses challenges which are not easily solved by current software.

Quite interesting! Could you give some examples/pointers? I did a bit of sleuthery but as I don't understand Ge'ez, reading (for example) the Uicode Consortium proposal on typesetting Ge'ez didn't highlight what is different, merely what needs to happen. Which is of course quite appropriate for a technical memo but didn't help me find out what I was looking for.
Hi, I recently found out that my ex-girlfriend who used to love me was put under a love spell by an old married man. They considered themselves as bf/gf. It really broke me. I was really worried about her as to what could happen to her. I still loved her. We were in a ldr and I couldn't see her… We still communicated from time to time but she made sure she doesn’t get found out by the man. It got frustrating as how she cannot see past the spell! I really wanted her back and also to be safe first and foremost and be away from that man. I also met Dr. Akim online and he helped me break the blackmagic on her and in 40 hours she called me and begged me to take her back. Akim's email is uniquelovespellcenter@yahoo.com will be much appreciated if you contact him for marriage and relationship problems cos i promised to talk about him all over the internet :)
This is indeed exactly the same principle, where you fool the brain into connecting a buggy representation with a concrete object that can be gradually modified into something that better fits reality.

Re. digital vs. puppet, that's a good question. I suppose that the closer you can get to the hallucinations the better the treatment will work. So it may work with low tech gear, but it will probably be less effective (because it would be harder to reach the suspension of disbelief that's probably required for the treatment to work).
> as a premise is certainly internally consistent.

Karl Popper argued that, in fact, that exact rule is not just consistent but necessary for tolerance to exist:

As i ~never watch a facebook video again
I can think of a couple of reasons. First, they think of themselves as companies that address diseases. They are concerned with the ill, rather than people seeking cosmetic changes.

Second, I can see some potential for major backlash. Literally going into the business of designer babies? Ethically tricky. Doing it only for the rich, because it'll be incredibly expensive at first? "Tricky" doesn't begin to cover it. Public policy in first-world countries is not always noted for being far-sighted and even-handed, and a public backlash could easily shut down all gene therapies.
That's not an argument, that's bulverism. How about you explain why repealing Net Neutrality is necessary in the first place? Who actually benefits from it?
Exactly. So many people don't get that. Really 'net neutrality' is sort of the wrong battle. I want to be able to write soft real time application on the internet.

You are right, the market economist are basically just misinformed about the structure of the market. Most of them are not actually people that know much about the internet or work in that space specifically.

My attempt at a solution is to equate packets with real live postal services. The postal service is not allowed to open your packets but they are allowed to look at the stamp. This is how the IP protocol was designed to work, and it would work, but that requires a change in how IP do pricing and so on and so on.
> I wish there was some way to "categorize" these posts, and to allow me to simply filter out what I don't want to see.

Just use Instragram instead. It's FB with just pics.
It is absolutely relevant. In your very comment, you are confusing what a file and a file name is.

To rephrase: just because the FILE is open, doesn't mean that you shouldn't be able to remove a FILE NAME that references the FILE.

> as a user, because I don't want to worry about open files being possibly deleted from disk

Open files can still usually be renamed (and moved across the same volume), so a file name of an open file can still be effectively removed.
You're absolutely right that the Bay Area offers more freedom than India or China in terms of safely espousing your views. In our lack of government-imposed restrictions, however, we've come to restrict ourselves as a society, and many believe that we've taken these restrictions too far.

America has progressed through openness to ideological diversity, and through healthily engaging in debate. We're lucky that those who have created/promoted controversial technologies and ideas have been able to so legally, but what is it worth if they're never engaged with? What is all of our ethnic diversity worth if everyone, full of unique perspectives, is forced to tiptoe around most subjects?

It's great to have freedom of speech, but its societal value is substantially diminished when we aren't willing to communicate with the people it protects.

> UK allowed one Egyptian preacher to openly preach hatred and violence

As a side note, our freedom of speech in the US is more hard-wired and extensive than that of the UK, and even we don't allow speech that directly incites violence.

I wonder if 1000 homes pitched 1000$ each if the 1M$ would be enough for them all to get access? From OP it sounds like no.

I wonder if the onion network will counteract this.
I don't believe it would, AWS Lambda is all hosted at the moment. We moved some on-prem systems into EC2 and finally to Lambda functions.
> The "last mile" is a utility, and by its very nature will always result in monopolistic control.

This is THE central point. Everyone saying that they would be OK with the latest FCC regs if there were only more competition need to consider this. In what bizarro world would anyone actually want ISPs competing for the last mile?
Top 100 most-discussed journal articles of 2017
Exactly.

The bot says "GET /blah" and LinkedIn says "200 OK".

Not bot's fault.
We were in the same boat! Gonna do some testing of more EC2 apps into Lambda.
Accidental denials of service are indeed a common occurrence.
By the way, it's "etc" from latin et cetera - I assume you didn't want to refer to electro-convulsive therapy :-)
I remember seeing a company that was doing exactly this. They setup shop in an area and then sell to neighborhoods.

Can't remember the name.
> Liberals are tolerant of anything except being conservative

As a non-American liberal, I'd argue 'liberals' are tolerant of anything except non-American liberals.

Try bringing up progressive topics in polite company and see how long you can last before becoming a conspiracy theorist / radical.

You agree with every UN member countries wrt Palestine/Israel except 2? Oh, we don't talk about that here. You want to support grassroots primary caucus delegate? Nevada primary co-chairs were expelled from the causes they were chairing for trespassing. You want more than 2 corporate parties? Jill Stein was handcuffed to a chair for hours for attempting to enter the televised presidential debate venue. You're anti war? You must be a Russian spy or literally Hitler for not opposing strawman foreign governments who resist trading oil in petro-dollars.
Because they're facebook. They have no competition.
web consulting, i miss the math though, dont use it too much anymore.
Fair point, but some ideas reflect on who expresses them. If you think gay people are evil, it says something about you (usually, not good). I think the same is true about life extension.
Why would wireless lead to more competition? Wireless spectrum is monopolized in much the same way that the right to lay fiber/wiring is. FCC auctions sell exclusive use of the spectrum to these companies for billions of dollars. The switch to wireless would be nothing more than a chance for these companies to save on the expense of physical infrastructure, not a way to increase competition. Unless you're suggesting that high speed internet could be delivered on unlicensed bands, we'd just be trading one monopoly/duopoly situation for another, and likely with the same obstinate companies that we currently lament having to depend on for internet service.

The best hope for competition in the home broadband market is municipal ownership of last-mile infrastructure. We need to lay last-mile fiber and it needs to be owned by the public, though network maintenance can be contracted out.
Here is the definition of arbitrary:

"The term arbitrary describes a course of action or a decision that is not based on reason or judgment but on personal will or discretion without regard to rules or standards."

Most of Pai's arguments are half-truths or out right lies. There have been several instances where his claims were fact checked against the data and proved to be false.

Furthermore: "In many instances, the term implies an element of bad faith, and it may be used synonymously with tyrannical or despotic."

I think there's a good case that Pai's actions and statements could be shown to be despotic.
That's crazy! I'd have cancelled and swapped ISPs after a week. Guess people didn't really care?

EDIT: After reading more replies, it seems like you guys actually have no choice. Serious red flag that it sounds like net neutrality was covering up. I think you will be better in the long run with it removed, but you all need to get active and fix your ISP problem and create a free market.
What the differences with Linkedin?
What's the difference between self-hosting and self-hosting on bare metal?
It's not you, it's them. :)

Compared to paper maps, Google Maps also looks like shit in the USA.
Because Microsoft also strong-armed PC manufacturers into not adding Netscape to the computers they sold, for the sole recognized purpose of protecting the Win32 API barrier of entry into the OS business.
> Careful, this could legitimize things like accidental denial of service.

Are you saying that the writers of a bot that causes accidental issues with a site due to poor development standards on that site should spend years in prison with a federal felony conviction?
It's true that some speakers are over-represented, but I don't think that changes the trend substantially. I also don't see how you can draw a distinction between disinviting speakers and censoring the ideas they came to talk about.

And yes, there are new forums for dissemination of ideas, but that doesn't mean they are equally open to all ideas. Some things you can't write without being shouted down. This is distinct from criticism of the idea. These are personal attacks on the person who voiced the idea in the first place.

I don't understand your last point. There are absolutely things you can't talk about freely at universities, for example: immigration, gender differences in personality, variations in IQ across races, etc. I don't see how you can take an objective look at university culture and say anything otherwise.
It's been 35 years since I lived in the Boston area, so this may have changed some -- I certainly hope it has! -- but the ethnic animosities there shocked me, as someone who moved there from the DC area and had the idea that Northern cities would be more tolerant. I moved into an apartment in East Cambridge in 1982, in what was, unbeknownst to me before I got there, a Polish neighborhood, only to learn that a few weeks earlier, a Black residence on the same street had been firebombed.
TV doesn't have the ability to tailor targeted brainwashing for each individual viewer based on a profile created from thousands of data points.
I find it hard to believe that the will of the people is adequately represented by five people. Not that it really matters--with the massive split between the Republicans and Democrats basically the party with the most board seats will win.

In order to owe $60,000 in back taxes, you had to have income. Where did that income go? Were the original loan amounts even higher? Loans of $140,000 sound awfully high for an undergraduate degree. Did you attend a professional school (law school/dental/medical)?

Sometimes, sure. But sometimes it takes years of effort and loneliness, that is at least where the "and yet it moves" quote comes from. I my mind at least, Galilei was alone, with unpopular, dangerous views, against a huge number of people with another opinion. It is what the piece is about, it is what the Fountainhead is about.
And yet I don't think it's clearly inflammatory. Again, perhaps what you are interpreting as clearly inflammatory was meant to express something other than that.

Of course, this could all be cleared up if you actually explained what you thought was so horrible about the original comment. So far you've called it "absolutist" and "clearly inflammatory" but not actually explained why you think so. Obviously, at least one person disagrees, so perhaps backing up your statements with your reasoning would help.
Yes, I edit any article that needs copy-editing.

You would be astonished how many articles have basic errors in grammar and spelling. I enjoy the idea that if I noticed it, others will too, and I’m preserving their flow on the article.

The comment is that you can no longer assume net neutrality. Under the assumption that your ISP does the equivalent of bundling television channels, you'd have end users look at their "package options" and go "no, of course I won't pay you an extra 10$/mo for Facebook with ads". GP is looking forward to the Schadenfreude.
There is no global time and no simultaneity. What is this notion that T2 is greater than T1 when they are separated by some significant distance? The sentence doesn't even make sense.
Wonderful website! Really appreciate the detail put into this. And it worked very smoothly on mobile.

Indeed, lambdas are worth considering for some but not all projects, and this tool seems helpful for people who may need a place to start researching their options.
