Yeah. We probably would have been better off if people had accepted Wheeler's first proposal for the 2015 Order. That was the one that stayed under Section 706, and so would not have been able to do everything that had been done under the 2010 Order because of the court decision that struck down the 2010 Order. It would have had to allow "fast lanes".

But I don't see any net neutrality issue with "fast lanes" AS LONG AS the ISP does not slow other things down in order to force the use of "fast lanes" to get normal advertised speeds. Paid "fast lanes" might be anti-competitive in some cases, but that should be handled under antitrust law.

ISPs probably actually do belong under Title II as far as actually providing internet access goes --I don't see anything fundamentally different from a policy point of view about the internet compared to, say, the telephone system. But that should probably be done by Congress, not the FCC.
Can't believe you're siding with IE over Netscape.
> you really need to start by accepting that there are people who disagree with you in good faith.

Certainly, such people exist. I respect them and even enjoy talking to them sometimes.

But that's off topic. We're talking about the current/recent incarnation of the Republican Party. The idea that they believe, "in good faith", in deregulation implies that they have some kind of tested framework for believing it, that they've actually spent any time at all observing and thinking out issues where they intersect with relevant policy areas. And when it comes to how Net Neutrality debate (and now, recent policy changes), there is no evidence that's happened, and absolutely ample evidence of bad faith scattered all over both the process and the transparently poor arguments deployed to give a pretense of engagement.

Or what, exactly, does "good faith" really mean in your mind? Is honest belief enough? If I were to say, honestly believing it, "I think the earth is flat, not round" or "I think the gold standard has been behind the most stable and prosperous economies," or "I think a hot air balloon is a reasonable way to provide transport between the earth's surface and the moon," would my honest belief be enough to really give grant me "good faith?"

Also, why should anyone "set aside" money and influence in politics, particularly on this issue where the fingerprints are pretty clearly visible?

Yes, it does count as journalism.

* It is written by a Michael Hobbes, a contributing editor of Highline which is a new online magazine apparently owned by Huffpost

* It credits an additional reporter-- Gregory Barber, who appears to have written previously for the Washington Post-- plus two additional research assistants. (Ignoring for the moment the enormous team of designers who I guess put together the novel scrolling system.)

* I'm seeing fairly standard/reputable references for some of the stats-- The College Board for the stat about how much debt. students are taking on, some U.S. census references, Journal of Labor Economics out of the University of Chicago, etc.

* looks to be structured as a broad advocacy piece interspersed with "slice of life" stories about millenial's struggles to get jobs with decent wages and benefits to be able to support themselves

> The op-ed contained an unusual disclaimer:

>>> Mr. Leibowitz was a Democratic commissioner at the FTC from 2004-13 and chairman beginning in 2009. As a partner at the law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell, he represents both technology companies and broadband providers.

> The reference to both industries reads as an effort to be upfront about any potential conflict of interest, but also to suggest that Leibowitz has clients on both sides of the issue, so his argument is dispassionate. Tech companies, historically, support net neutrality, while broadband providers oppose it.

The op-ed was prefaced with a contextual paragraph. So this wasn't a "sleeper" influencing public opinion, a la Ender's Game. The WSJ made sure this highly-public person was properly contextualized.
Look, if saying disparaging things about Sam Altman is what we have to do to move physics forward -- that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

It also helps build relationships and align incentives with powerful firms that can be very useful in arranging an exit and getting the best price for it.

Microsoft took a small mezzanine round right before they went public. They didn't need the cash, but it brought investment bankers on board so that they had an incentive to get the best possible price in the IPO. Similar story with Whatsapp; they didn't need the cash, but having Sequoia on board gave them a stamp of approval that probably helped their negotiating leverage both in attracting employees and in selling to Facebook.

It seems like the author is just looking for something to be angry about. He ascribed his own meaning to a disclaimer in an article and then gets angry that it doesn't meet his expectation. Worse than that is the fact that it really shouldn't matter -- Jon Leibowitz could be head ball-fondler at Comcast for all it matters to his argument. This entire piece is spreading massive amounts of FUD because a guy wrote a thing and wasn't explicit enough for his taste.

My favorite bit:

> To go a step further, Leibowitz’s view is also wrong. Net neutrality supporters fear that kicking enforcement over to the FTC means that broadband providers would only get caught discriminating against websites after the fact. And the FTC is focusing on stopping “deception,” which critics have said could mean that if a company discloses to the customer it will block or throttle certain content, the agency won’t step in.

Author apparently doesn't understand that the following paragraph is literally the intended outcome of the plan. It's right there in explicit detail on pg 133 of the plan.

> We eliminate the conduct rules adopted in the Title II Order—including the general conduct rule and the prohibitions on paid prioritization, blocking, and throttling. We do so for three reasons...
Your comment, which I responded to as "ad hominem" (please look it up), literally has zero substance to challenge the author's position. That, is my case, that that you committed an ad hominem fallacy. Now, you said I straw-man'd you. Care to substantiate?
My first sentence should have been clearer - by commitments I specifically meant promises AS OPPOSED TO treaties. (The Paris Agreement wasn't a treaty, precisely because the U.S. insisted it not be one because the Republican Congress wouldn't swallow that.)

The foreign policy establishment can't contradict voters too directly, or rather are directed by a President chosen by them. Therefore U.S. has cheerfully reversed policy and commitments many times. Still, even the average voter understands something of the ancient holiness surrounding treaties, and the consequences of breaking those. (The ancient Greeks believed that the Gods would come down on you for breaking treaties since treaties were promises to those Gods.)

Is this still working? Just seeing everything as blank.
I don't know if it's that simple.

We have the .coms like Facebook or Uber that made their money by inserting themselves between an existing process, like journalism or cab driving, and its customers, then extracting a profit from it.

From what I've read, repeal of net neutrality regs will basically allow ISPs to re-insert themselves between the consumer and the .coms, giving the Facebooks of the world a taste of their own medicine.

The question to me is, will the consumer now be double-f'ed, or will the existing quantity of f-ery remain zero-sum to where the megacorps have to reapportion the spoils? I don't know the answer. It's just that it looks more like a battle between megacorps than any kind of great moral crusade to me...
Your comment seems incredibly shortsighted and I very much question your first hand experience.

> First, users should NEVER share their passwords with anyone.

Heh, every company I have worked for, I have had to share passwords to tools in some form or the other - private keys, certificate files, shared account passwords to name a few.

> For example, users should utilize software specifically built for managing passwords, such as LastPass [3], 1Password [4], Dashlane [5], Keeper [6], or a vetted open source alternative.

So, you are willing to "vouch" for some random closed source software without every seeing the code and yet here you vilify code that is open.

Again, I very much question your first hand experience in security or real world software. Not sure what your objective with your comment is but it is hardly educational.
While there is a case to be made about news op-eds and their overall influence this article is more noise than content. The disclaimer says he represents broadband providers. There is no coming back even if it says technology companies.
It's about bin packing. Underutilized servers can have more VMs packed into them. Not physical servers sitting around unused, but additional capacity on in-use machines.
It reminds me a bit of the motivation behind fast.ai, that you should get your hands dirty with the things you care about instead of learning the tough things until you're ready.

I found it easier to learn things like stats, linear algebra, and calculus once I had a personal application to it. Even something that I love in Reinforcement Learning, I would sometimes get sleepy reading pages and pages from the Sutton and Barto book, but as soon as I worked on a coding exercise, I could spend hours actively participate with trying to solve the problem.

So I just downloaded it and played around and as far as I can tell there is no way to delete files. Or, more specifically there is a way but it's not implemented or otherwise accessible as far as I can figure from the rather sparse documentation.

If someone would like to explain to me how (if?) the garbage collection works I'd appreciate it, because I like the concept and kinda want to use this, but deleting stuff is a rather important feature for me. All I could find searching was a post by the devs saying it was already mostly implemented but not finished and not a priority...

https://github.com/camlistore/camlistore/issues/792

Like, I understand that this is a spare time project (I think) but not considering deleting/pruning files to be an important feature is really confusing to me. In its current state, if I accidentally upload the wrong file, am I now stuck with it forever?

Edit: ok I figured out how to at least delete things in the UI (clicking the check mark opens a side menu apparently, `camput delete` doesn't seem to do anything), but as far as I can tell it doesn't actually delete them from the database without running a garbage collect, which isn't implemented so it just hangs around in purgatory.
Still notorious.

> how does avoding load on the internal backbone leave which costs of growing the backbone to the ISP?

I didn't say anything about avoiding load. They don't want to raise capital to build their own backbone - so they want to pass off the cost to the largest traffic sources (Netflix etc) and largest traffic destinations (most oactive consumers).

> How is the number of connection requests relevant to a router?!

More connection requests means more CPU usage on a router. More open connections means more RAM usage.

> Non-discriminatory is no enough, it has to be free or at cost. They are a monopoly, and as such non-discriminatory is still a monopolistic price.

Non-discriminatory means they offer all content providers the same prices. Now if you're saying that they can overcharge because there's no competition, then I agree. This is a problem in the short term. But if I understand Pai's logic, this gap in the market will spur competition (and solutions) to emerge through innovation. I'm skeptical about this logic but cautiously optimistic.

I grant you that this is not a satisfying answer when you only have one shitty ISP option like Comcast and there's no hope fore a competitor in the short term. But given the growth of fixed residential wireless and new spectrum like White Spaces it's possible that a Comcast/Verizon would be doing more damage to their own brand (and content offerings) in the long term by mistreating their customers.

>It really made me question just how many people who happen to share my political positions, do so because they genuinely understand and agree with the policies, and not because it's just what you're supposed to do when you have a certain identity (liberal etc).

Its worth thinking about how well reasoned and deeply researched justifications of positions make headway in a democracy. Expert opinion is expensive to acquire and not accessible to the majority. In a hierarchy of coalitions information is potential compressed at every level. If it gets compressed enough it might just end up as a left versus right or up versus down issue, with the justification for this reasoning only accessible by traversing up and down the hierarchy. I am not sure that this is a bad thing, butI can appreciate your concern about causes of an individuals motivation, especially in light of the potential for a propaganda apparatus to insert itself into my aforedescribed idealization.

I'll describe the discrete logarithm problem; the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem is like it, but harder (different group operation).

Pick a prime number p.

Pick a positive integer x < p

Then every positive integer < p can be written in the form: x^n (mod p), for some positive integer n < p.

For example if p is 5 and x is 2: 2^1 ≡ 2 (mod 5); 2^2 ≡ 4 (mod 5); 2^3 ≡ 3 (mod 5); 2^4 ≡ 1 (mod 5);

Try it with larger p or different x's and try to find a pattern. The discrete logarithm problem says: given c, x, and p, find y such that x^y ≡ c (mod p). In English, what power do I have to raise x to, in order to get a number that is equivalent to c, modulo p. The "modulo p" thing is what makes it hard - without that you just have x^y = c, so ln(x^y) = ln(c) and therefore y = ln(c)/ln(x)

OK, I'll be honest. I usually avoid excel, except for excel to csv conversion. Then I write a python3 script starting with `import csv`.

This would make the product actually useful for me. VB is terrible. I don't even want to think about it. JS is a language I put up with when I have to work in a browser. Python is a joy to use especially in situations like this.

I can't tell you how many little apps I've had to write against CSV dumps from some stupid proprietary app without an API for Infosec or Capacity Planning or whatever that is essentially a report. I would do this instead in a heartbeat to avoid maintaining a service that gets used weekly/monthly/whatever.

Though many have mentioned in their posts and comments, following things made me weary of using FB:

1. More friendlier to businesses - after each N number of posts (where N sometimes < 5) we can see sponsored posts

2. Feeling of stalking - after searching few things in e-commerce sites (the exact same items getting listed in advertisements of sponsored feed). Though its through the Ad affiliation this happens, its totally creepy to see the "things" you searched for following you all over the social media.

3. Pushing for wider attention - though you haven't uploaded any picture of you, if in someone else's photo you get a part (even in a corner) all your friends will be notified!

4. Always-on-top - Their messenger app displays always-on-top floating bubble in mobile phones whenever there is a notification! Never ever look anywhere else!

5. Feeling of being their product - if the data we generate (not the moments we cherish) is their selling point for being an attractive platform, then there is no human part to it. We are just the products they sell!

6. Getting annoyed when an user doesn't login for a long time - sending an email and text message to say "if you have trouble logging please click this link"

7. Thank you animations other custom generated animations - All these animations are auto generated (may be mostly using AI), though in the end of the animation it says "Team FB", its more of a "AI @ FB". Why bother creating it, if it is auto generated!

From what I see in the "First World" governments have been incrementally converted into plutocracies. Trans-national corporations and their executives dictate the actions and decisions of the government of the day.

These are orthogonal issues

They're not. If NN is a user sought feature, true competition will bring it.

E.g. a few years ago cell phone plans sucked in the US. TMobile started some real competition. The other big ones had to follow. Unlimited data plans, demanded ages ago, have been recently introduced.
America's government is as cruel as it can possibly be lately. This is just punitive and disgusting.

There are now plenty of Python modules for working with Excel and Excel format files. Why are they trying to compete with those? As a university teacher I have dropped the use of Excel from my classes. I'm really not convinced this would convince me to go back. The philosophy of the product is just wrong. The should probably consider retiring Excel itself while maintaining support for Excel file formats. If they were to get behind some of the existing Python module initiatives or do something similar this would not be bad either, but using Excel as a front-end to Python is just a bad idea.
Fair point, but I wouldn't expect to see anything but a corporate friendly op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, nor would I think anyone who regularly reads the Wall Street Journal. Even the New York Times can be pretty corporate/middle of the road.
