Honestly I'm sure they just realized how time consuming and expensive it is. And fiber isn't their main gig so they decided to duck out.

AT+T rolled out fiber to my neighborhood over the last 6 months. They've been digging up yards and shared areas for months and I was the first person in my area to sign up. It took multiple visits for the techs to fix the line noise and clean the lines after the first rollout, and the techs are still here almost every day fixing other noise/line issues the last few weeks.

Laying new cable is expensive and time consuming.
A government owned company has easier access to public land and can do that while doing their public infrastructure work. It can go as a more coordinated work and costs can be saved greatly, especially when the property is publicly owned. The work itself is then normally done by private companies in a bidding process.
The government own companies faces only problems, when it has to cross private property.

While a private company has to pay for the usage of the public property too. It has also to work on the allowance to use the public property at all. Also the construction costs are much higher, as they cannot share with other infrastructure costs. If private companies wants to share the costs of infrastructure work, it requires much more coordinating work. They also need to know way in advance when which infrastructure work by which private company is planned to be able to work together. That will become a bureaucratic mess.

If Google's survival depended on solving this, they would have solved it 10 times over. Since it's not, they're approaching this problem with a cost/benefit mindset and they seem to think it's not worth it.

An ideal solution would be nationalization of the infrastructure, but that's never happening in the US. A possible solution is for the US government to scare the telecom monopolies with antitrust lawsuits so much that they come up with a solution themselves (which might be simply splitting the monopoly like you suggested).

Here's where anecdotes run into trouble. I experience mostly the opposite. I no longer need to lock myself away from the world in order to focus. I can have a single, main thread of thought and focus and allocate other threads for dealing with external information. I've always been good at synthesizing 5-6 bits at a time (smaller than average working memory), but now I can perform in the 7-9 bit range. I can start the alphabet from any point, without relying on my chunking heuristics from childhood.

The food, yes, the frustrations with illogical decisions, yes. I'd never recommend the drugs to a child, just run them outside until they wear out, but for adults who have trouble keeping multiple plates spinning; yes, use science to overcome your random genealogical assignment.

I feel like you’re trying to equate avoiding taxes with self enrichment. That’s true if you avoid taxes to then keep the money. But if you avoid taxes by giving everything to charity, that’s not avoiding taxes anymore: those are deductibles for a reason!

The question is: did he end up keeping more money now, than he would have, had he just kept everything and paid the due taxes? The article seems to suggest that, no, he didn’t.

I'm a westerner in Turkey, and I am breaking the law by posting this. Hundreds of thousands of people have been arrested since the "Coup" on fake charges. 1/2 of them have been arrested because of grudges or being of the wrong political party, the other 1/2 of them have been arrested for saying the wrong thing on Facebook.

Being in Turkey you get dozens of friend requests by people you don't know on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, they're all spybots, I've tracked some of them down to turkish government ip ranges.

All cell phones and internet devices must be registered by the government. It's expensive, but most intelligent people buy their phones and computers outside of the country to ensure that Tayipp's goons in MIT haven't installed spyware.

I know someone who was arrested and detained for a week because he doesn't use social media.

It's illegal to insult anybody in this country, not just Tayipp.. but Tayipp has immunity, so he can insult anybody, and he does. I would go to jail for insulting Islam or Ataturk or Erdogan, but he regularly insults .. EVERYBODY. To him Kurds are zoroastrians, atheists deserve to be punished along with homosexuals. Anybody who isn't a staunch supporter of AKP is a terrorist (These are all things he says on a daily basis).

It all fell apart before Gezi Park. Gezi Park was a false flag event to take attention away from the recordings of him instructing Bilal to take all of the cash out of the house due to corruption procedings. Speaking of Bilal, he was going to be arrested in Italy for money laundering, so the saudis snuck him out of the country on a private jet.

Erdogan has arrested every senior member of the Kurdish party, the HDP (which the hippies and liberals co-opted before the "election"). Speaking of "elections", everybody predicted a major terror attack just before the re-election to ensure that he got his majority government the second time around. A new announcer said this on TV the day before the Ankara bombing which killed 103 people and harmed another 500. Most Turks who aren't uber nationalists believe Erdogan either did this, or allowed this to happen, because who cares if Kurds and Hippies are slaughtered?

This post could put me in jail for 5-20 years.
> Do you have the faintest idea what it means for a small country like Italy to be forced to import 600.000 migrants in 5 years?

I don't want to get into an argument about immigration politics, but it strikes me as odd that you consider Italy "small". It has 60 million inhabitants, making it forth most populous country in the EU, and is the seventh largest country in the EU by area. [1]

For scale, Jordan has taken at least in 650,000 Syrian refugees [2], and it's only a third of the size of Italy, and a sixth of the population.

Or take Lebanon. It is a 30th the size of Italy, with only 6 million inhabitants (1/10 that of Italy), but has taken in nearly a million Syrian refugees. [3]

I don't want to dismiss or diminish the trouble that Italy is going through because of the tensions in the Middle East, but calling Italy "small" indicates a lack of perspective.

After 10 years in this wonderful place called Germany, while witnessing the deterioration back in my homeland, I sort of got over the meaningless dedication to Turkey rooted from the mere fact that I was born there. Why should I love Turkey? I kept asking this question to myself for so long that the process made the answer irrelevant.

I say, let it go worse, crash and burn. I keep thinking about the wonders that process did to many nations.

Well, maybe Erdoğan knows something we don't and in the end I'll look like those people who didn't invest in bitcoin when it was worth not even a Euro. Maybe Islamic Dictatorship was the solution after all? Hah. Never mind. I couldn't care less.

And yet, if the system were perfectly rigged, Hillary Clinton would have won, and Trump would never have been allowed to make it to the primaries by the oligarchs... or was he just another puppet of the establishment? Either Trump's election was completely futile, or an opportunity wasted on nihilism.

It's difficult to have sympathy for people who feel disenfranchised from the political process, and who protest that process by choosing sabotage it to no specific end. Particularly when other groups who have been historically more directly harmed by the government have managed to succeed in creating progressive change, albeit slowly and at personal risk, and from the ground up. If Trump supporters care that little, then they should just stay home next time. After all, nothing they do can possibly matter, can it?

Isn't that grounds for legitimate criticism, then? Un-modern religions have no place in a modern world.

Depends on your definition of "populist". You could take it literally as "one who talks to the people", or in other words: communicating complex policy to the public in such a way that laypeople can make an informed decision. That's what I would expect any politician to do.

However, most people seem to take "populist" to mean "someone who distorts policy questions and advances their own agenda by pandering to people's emotions". I would call such a person a "demagogue" instead.
Wow, at least for me personally, I could not disagree more!

I work too much, am always taking an online tech class, and read a tech book at least once a month.

To me, I feel like I am doing a good thing when I enjoy something on Netflix or spend a couple of hours reading a good book (fiction, not work related).

It is called ‘down time.’

If so, that's not a bad result.

What I fear is that there is no next FB because fewer people can "enter the market" that in this case is necessarily international .. can't because you need to start with a team of lawyers and compliance officers.

FB is unlikely to get injured. They're big and rich and have a deep moat. It would take a lot to shave 5% off its revenue. Making a potential FB competitor restrict itself to a smaller market, and a more localized service... It doesn't take as much.
Yes, almost always signatures are only going to be relevant to civil cases, which are decided on the balance of probabilities. So all the evidence introduced is about pushing those probabilities around. A signature is neither necessary (except in some special cases) nor sufficient but it will usually be evidence for "acceptance", one of the main parts of a contract in law. A witness would shore up that piece of evidence but it rarely comes up. In most cases acceptance is not disputed because doing things you contracted to do is also pretty good evidence for acceptance and that's usual. e.g. if you're in court over a car lease, the fact you paid the first three months and drove the car is usually going to be more than enough "acceptance" for a court even if the signed document has been lost.
Sexual abuse and IP crime are very different in terms of their stigma, and rightly so, in my opinion, so I don't see what's surprising about your final paragraph.

This trivial example does not illustrate the usefulness of OO design. Extending the example imagine the requirement is that the target of an email may be either a single user or a group of users, and in addition, email filters can be configured for both individual users and groups of users

Leading to an OO class design roughly like this:
(there are other possible OO designs, but this illustrates the point)

// Send an email to a specific user or a group of user taking into account both user and group level filters.

sendEmail(Email, EmailDestination)

class Email {Title, Body, Attachments}

interface EmailDestination {

Iterator<User> getRecipients(Email);
List<Filter> getFilters();

}

class Group implements EmailDestination {

// returns group filters
List<Filters> getFilters();
List<User> getMembers();

// returns all recipients after applying group and
// individual recipient filters
List<User> getRecipients(Email);

}

class User implements EmailDestination {

// returns user specific filters.
List<Filters> getFilters();

// returns itself unless filtered
Iterator<User> getRecipients(Email);

}

how would this look with a procedural design?

A success story about location based ads: some time ago, my fat cat went on an adventure. She is a house cat, never been outside. She managed to jump from the 1st floor window (second floor for US peeps) and went wandering around the back gardens. I could not find her that evening and there were some bad storms coming in + a people told me there are foxes around.

I created a fb page about my missing cat and used my ads credits to promote that page around the area I live. Second day after I did this, I got a phone call from one of my neighbors that she saw the cat and that evening I had my cat back home.

It turns out that my neighbor's daughter was visiting and saw the cat in their backyard. Then she saw the ad on facebook and told her mother to call me.
well... damnit, it is frustrating when people ask you something then infer something different from a question they think they asked, vs what they asked! :/
For a long time he withheld taxation money that could have gone to education and infrastructure. The fact that he gave money away when it was most convenient to him WHILE NORMAL PEOPLE HAD TO PAY EVERY TIME, ON TIME, does not excuse his despicable behavior.
I would really like to see someone come up with a standard English, like the Academie Francaise or the Caighdeán have for their respective languages. I'm not a prescriptivist, but i think having a canonical standard people can choose to adhere to is always a good thing.

For what it's worth, in my experience "whom" is fine to use for indirect objects (a la dative) but not direct. But having these distinctions doesn't do a whole lot for clarity, as the move away from proper case distinction in modern German shows.
Spaced repetition: Mastering Italian with 326,538 flashcard reviews (2015)
Yes ... and obviously at a $5 table I wasn't playing to make a living. It's an interesting way to pass the time when you're stuck there for a conference anyway (back then I went to Networld/InterOp every year). My main point was really that if you want to exploit any system, focus on the weakest link. Blackjack is played against the house so in the long term, the house will win a small percentage of the amount played.

Here's one bonus observation that I learned the first time I was in Vegas - the papers that are handed out inside the convention center doors are generally related to the conference you're attending. The papers that are handed out outside the doors are NOT.
I'd say the more direct response is that with Wikipedia there is no product, in that sense of the word.

Interesting model: the price is the same for everyone, while bandwidth is the maximum they can offer in your location. Excellent support. I bought a TP-LINK MC220L + patch cables from them, and hooked up an edgerouter lite for PPPoE & VLAN tagging. Already had a wifi router (google wifi), which sadly can't do VLAN tagging.

There are numberless other topics that could be covered; growing food, learning how to travel on a budget, logical reasoning, inference, and yet he is wasting valuable class time by redrawing an interface that is drawn by a computer on a screen in less than a second. To me this is a paramount example of how education can be used for time wasting by professors to simply give the guise of knowledge. He could be explaining what bold is without redrawing the whole interface, he could explain what a justified alignment is without redrawing scrollbars, it's utterly unnecessary and not only points to the hysterical inequality of nations but also wastes valuable time that students could be using to critically analyze a profound quote or even a mathematical symbol. The fact that computers are so commonplace elsewhere does not make this forgivable or acceptable, this teacher is wasting time teaching nothing, doing something that a screen can do in a fraction of a second, and is somehow receiving international praise and acclaim when clearly any single organization that covered this story could have donated solar panels and computers to this classroom. Horrendous and deplorable.

Did you read the comments?

I didn’t defend Islam! I attacked all religions. You can not say Islam is essentially bad while Christianity is not that bad. They are fundamentally same. In my opinion they all are bs. But Christianity is transformed under presure, that pressure was not there for Islam until last 20, 30 years. So islam hasn’t transformed yet.

That doesn’t make Christianity better or Islam worse.
