> Why don't Democrats pass NN through congress and get it enshrined into law?

Because Republicans (and some Democrats, too) have consistently opposed that when it was a legislative issue, and Republicans currently have a majority, preventing Democrats from passing, well, anything without their support.

> Instead of trying to block that from happening, since it's Republicans who are trying to do that.

The Republican bill would explicitly allow paid prioritization and other practices that are contrary to net neutrality, and would prohibit stronger state protections of net neutrality. It is therefore a bill to prevent rather than protect neutrality.

> Why was NN so easy to repeal in the first place?

Because Republicans prevented a legislative solution, repeatedly.

> Why didn't Obama do a proper job if it's such an important issue?

Because the US President isn't a dictator that can impose laws or make “super regulations” that cannot be repealed under future administrations.

> Which is why every single large company is opposed to the change.

Huh? Large companies that are ISPs are against net neutrality. Large companies and small companies and medium companies that are edge providers tend to be for it. There is no side where all large companies fall.

Blaming traffic is appropriate.

For most of history it was very normal for people to run in to the street. It was a place for horses, carts, donkeys, people, and livestock, and more than that, it was a place for socializing _and_ transport _and_ commerce.

Then, a few wealthy folks showed up in their automobiles and said "GET OUT OF MY WAY OR I WILL KILL YOU" and oddly, we sided with them.

It looks to me as if you have missed out on the last 100 years or so of social developments. If you want to go back to an age before cars then that is fine by me but no amount of guilt tripping language is going to make that happen. I cycle where and when I can, I drive when I have to. In fact, I would be highly surprised if you biked more than I do, which - incidentally - got me rather severely injured a while ago. That - by my book - is as good as it gets. If you feel that ´your standard´ is the one that everybody should live by then here is some news for you: not everybody is you. I´d feel tremendously conceited if I felt that other people should live by my standards.

Instead, let´s try to live within the law by the rules set by society, accept that life is risk and will never be risk free, no matter what rules we decide to live by and let´s strive to make society incrementally better rather than to pretend to live a life that is ´better´ by our own standards and to recognize that for every item that is better in our lives there are probably plenty left in which they are still worse.

In other words, get off your high horse, and recognize your own shortcomings rather than to ram your personal view of the right way to live down others' throats.

So, let´s campaign for more bike paths, other means of separation of traffic streams, safer vehicles for outsiders, pedestrians, bikes and occupants of other vehicles. But spare me the self-righteous holier than though attitude. It reminds me of militant vegetarians, they tend to give other vegetarians a bad image. If you are trying to make the case for cycling you are doing a piss-poor job of advocacy.
I thought you had to be wrong until I read the article. If people found solar panels garish, unsightly, this would sell like hotcakes. But just the oposite: people will put panels towards the street even when that's not the best angle or side. Like buying Prius over Honda's hybrid because the Toyota is distinctive, people want to flaunt their green.

I work at Microsoft, and while what you say may be true for the Microsoft of 20 years ago, the Microsoft of today is very heavily involved in OSS. We use and credit open source tools in our day to day products, contribute back to these projects, and open sourcing some of our existing tools like .NET. We're probably not at the level of Google, but far more than you're giving us credit for in this comment.

Boston and Cambridge, MA have passed truck side rail laws. "Trucks over x height prohibited" and "Trucks over x weight prohibited" are common.

States and cities can do a lot, and in fact can do a lot more then the federal government because they don't have a 10th amendment restricting them.

Oh no doubt he was waiting for info to be relayed to him, I just felt the combination of his sigh, his language (we'll address the situation), and the fact that there was such a long silence indicated that he didn't anticipate it taking so long to have confirmation of fairing deploy. In typical launches the confirmation comes a few seconds after deployment, not a couple minutes. And if you anticipate 1-2 minutes of nothing to report, usually you'd plan to be saying something in the meantime to avoid dead air.

I could obviously be misinterpreting it, but this was my impression when watching it live, before we even knew there was an issue with the payload. When I watched it I thought they had lost it until he came back and said fairing deploy was successful.

You do realize those bills are more bark than bite right? In typical fashion, the right+ in this country wants to act like it's doing something good while still being subservient to the worst parts of our society.

Seriously just fucking read them. What a complete joke.

>Except as provided in paragraph (2), nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the ability of broadband internet access service providers to offer specialized services.

Oh okay. Let's read (2)

>(2) PROHIBITION ON CERTAIN PRACTICES.—Specialized services may not be offered or provided in ways that threaten the meaningful availability of broadband internet access service or that have been devised or promoted in a manner designed to evade the purposes of this section.

NEAT. What is meaningful availability? Oh and I like how the same party is seeking to greatly increase the scope of what defines "broadband" (i.e., they're lowering standards).

The right+ in this country is literally our biggest threat to a prosperous and secure existence. Always dishonest, always disingenuous, always harmful, and always a complete waste of time.

So the next person this happens to goes to jail? You're proposing that drivers will ask for speed limits to be reduced because they don't want to fall afoul of this proposed law? Do you realize how silly that sounds?

Legal driving does not mean I have the ability to repeal basic physical laws like inertia. If you're trying to legislate cars off the road altogether, then this is probably one way to do it, but good luck with the general program.
> some of the problems that they face are a result collapsing a complex question very hastily into a binary decision.

I don't see anything particularly attractive or helpful here from a candidate experience perspective. The objective of hiring to find people with the right combination of skills/experience/attitude. Slow, bureaucratic processes (interviews by committee) tend to turn-off good people.

The big feature of the car example comes within the third paragraph. It's decentralized. The node, the charging station, doesn't need to phone home or synchronize with a central authority in order to process the payment. It can write and fulfill the contract.

It may be the case that the fundamental, key, killer features of the blockchain have lost their initial lustre to many people, and I understand that. But decentralization and verifiable, consistent truth are a really, really big deal.

There are applications with promise, large promise. Killer apps? Maybe. They will arrive, it's more "which of these" and not "whether these":

Brazil experimenting with laws/petitions on the blockchain

... There are many amazing use-cases.

The reason this YC article was published is because there is a great demand for blockchain from investors.

Ignore it or doubt it at your own peril!
I think so, but I've never tried that.
Let's look at another project that needed a such a ledger: the certificate transparency project.

One implementation of it, google's, uses leveldb:

https://github.com/google/certificate-transparency

Another one out there uses postgres. It turns out that you can use traditional databases in many cases where you think you need a blockchain, and you'll be able to waste vastly less energy on proof-of-work and vastly less time dealing with the terrible mess that is "blockchain".

The reason not to use "blockchain" is that it has 200 definitions, all of them full of people trying to get rich, not getting things done.

Databases have long-since solved the problem of storing and distributing data.

Distributed stores like etcd, zookeeper, and so on have long since solved the problem of duplicating data.

Very few people need byzentine fault tolerance (due to having a large number of untrusted actors with write access), which is the only time the additional complexity blockchain includes is actually useful

What I don't understand is how Ethereum can describe their dapps as "trustless" when all the trust is still centralized in an oracle. This can even happen accidentally, such as with the Mayweather/McGregor smart contract breakage. [0]

But now imagine if BoxRec had intentionally reported false results from their website in order to make a lot of money on the bet. People would lose their money, and there would be no recourse.

Blame is most naturally attributed to the party that brings the 2-ton death machine to the incident. It was like that in USA, when automobiles were first introduced. The laws only changed as a result of decades of dishonest public relations and bribery on the part of the automobile industry.
Or just a justification for when it's found following a trajectory that is somewhat embarrassing to explain.
Ethereum isn't useful for smart contracts; they are too expensive to call methods on chain and EVM is too inflexible and bug prone.

The only use for ethereum is shittokens, and you could practically coingen these for free, and trade forever. No load on the shared commons, isolate activity to the specific coin. The only advantage is the ECR20 standard that aids exchange integration.

SV is all a blaze about Ethereum, but I tell you, this too shall pass.

Long on other smart contract platforms, but not ETH.

This is not an uncommon reaction to medieval art in general, not just on maps. When I went to school we were taught it was due to "dark ages" of lost skills, but it seems modern history is giving it kinder treatment as "different priorities". Some discussion here:

We facilitate sex work, yes. We do not support trafficking, we verify IDs first, and we will use pattern recognition to detect trafficking/pimps and ban them from our platform. This is not perfect, but it is a great improvement from where things are today: Backpage actively fighting to keep underage listings on their site!

We are very much open to hearing of suggestions on how to improve things. Let us know: humans@pinkdate.is.

My understanding from listening to the podcast episode (this morning) is that the tool-anchoring rules were only added after that particular disaster.
Nice! Your gif would be better if they were twice as slow as they currently are, so that people can understand what you're showing without reading the descriptions.

The problem (as in "the reason why it's not worth it for me to try") with any new browser is the lack of ad-blocking at the uBlock Origin level. Without a proper ad-blocker, the web is just unbrowsable these days. The exceptions are browsers that lack JS support, but this brings its own set of issues.
Texas and Florida combined have 5 times the population of Sweden, twice the area, and far more roadways. Solutions are more complicated in the US due to size, population, and broad political, economic, and geographic complexity. Stop trying to equate this tiny nation with one of the most populated and largest.
> There's plenty that could've been done to prevent this

Well, for one thing, putting rural mailboxes on the same side of high-speed roadways as the houses they serve would seem to be an obvious mitigation, though it would probably have some additional mail delivery costs.
Embedding hundreds of iframes into existing pages isn't a viable solution.

Consider that a single reddit comment requires at least: upvote, downvote, save, report, hide. Not to mention actually commenting, expanding/collapsing threads, or gilding comments.

A thread shows 200 comments by default (500 with Gold). Even 200 comments x 5 features requires a thousand iframes, each of which is embedding a complete document.

If you think web performance is bad now...
To be fair, I would expect the same if a well-respected regular-stock website changed its data and suddenly shifted its reported values.

Now, if the % change is more or less, I guess that indicates how many market participants have their own value estimates of each currency.

Wow. Attach some Blockchain jargon to your product and get valuation pop. This is getting slightly ridiculous.
I know this bug (and it is a bug Intel) is causing a lot of headaches for people, but now that the details are out it's clear there is a good amount of genius and ingenuity that goes into designing exploits like this. It's also even clearer given the June 1, 2017 posting date that Intel knew about this issue for some time. This should give more credence to people claiming insider trading by Intel's CEO.
This is true. Asians face plenty of prejudicial discrimination as well. I would say that everyone faces some form of it. My mother always says, "Living well is the best revenge."

>Reducing speed limits and designing roadways to discourage high speeds.

One of these works. One of these handicapps your infrastructure's capacity, reduces safety in certain conditions and has a handful of other negative externalities.

I would wager that were it not for someone following the speed limit the woman in OP's story would not have been cruising along in a line of traffic with her situational awareness diminished by limited visibility and temptation to follow the leader without giving her full attention to driving.

Traffic is safer when segregated by type (e.g. you don't ride a bike on the highway) and/or speed.

You can design roads to reduce speed but just posting a different sign has minimal positive effect so better limiting/controlling interaction between different types/speeds of traffic on roads you already have (e.g. adding sidewalks or bike lanes) works better there.
When you are betting on Bitcoin or Ethereum, you are betting on the technology, developer community, ecosystem and the adoption. With Tron, there's hardly a product and Ripple while seems to have some successful pilots, is still far from realizing the dream of replacing the FIAT currency among banks.
Is that kind of paranoia productive? Especially considering we are at historically low crime rates.

A very young child needs supervision and precautions to prevent them from hurting themselves, as this article sadly shows, and even then, its blind bad luck sometimes.

But otherwise I can’t think any of my family (two young kids, 1 year and 8 years) or friends (many kids of various ages) being super cautious about their kids in public. I don’t live in the USA, mind you.

We let daycare staff care for the little ones, which includes daily walks through the downtown core. We let kids walk to school on their own when they turned 10, we let them play unsupervised outside around age 7, or go for a bike ride with neighbor kids, etc. It’s not that different from when I was growing up. Hanging out and playing the at the park is probably less of a thing, perhaps, but that’s more because of iPads and Xboxes than safety.

People often don't think that 5 mph is significant, but it absolutely is.

https://one.nhtsa.gov/people/injury/research/pub/HS809012.ht...

Table 2 in that link shows fatalities approximately doubling for each 5 mph increment of speed added.

That doesn't even take into account the increased likelihood of hitting someone (increased speed means decreased ability to react and stop).

And yes, most (U.S.) roads are designed in such a way that practically begs motorists to speed. And thus speeding is the norm. Man if I had a dollar for every HN thread where someone bragged about getting out of a speeding ticket...
Fuller walks around looking at the world through artificial lenses. He sleeps in a warm bed at night. There are some for whom that life is far too removed from wilderness.

You draw an arbitrary line between someone who drives an ATV into nature ("a dilettante or a tenderfoot")and Steven Fuller. You could put the line anywhere, and on any number of different spectra.

You talk about the evaporation of the romantic view, and yet you have an incredibly romantic (and arbitrary) perspective.
I agree with your sentiment. It's more common than lightning strikes, though still super remote. But I'm not planning on sending my kids out to play in thunderstorms, and I'm not planning on leaving them unattended in public places until they're of a certain age.

Walking to school is an interesting scenario. I hate the car, so I'd probably walk with them or ride bikes together.

Side story: My dad had a friend who was almost kidnapped while on the way to school. The only reason it didn't succeed is that my dad and another friend grabbed their friend by the ankles while the guy in the car was tugging on their friend's arms. The kids all screamed bloody murder, and the men in the car gave up and drove off.

In most areas of life I like to think that I let statistics drive my thinking (e.g. I don't try to beat the stock market no matter how bad things look, unless I'm gambling for the fun of it). But in the case of kids, man... it's just much harder to overcome emotional biases.
