IMO Interactive Brokers has a good mobile experience.

However, IB is decidedly not meant for the young, millennial, small amount of investment principal, getting started with investing/trading segment that Robinhood has carved out for itself.

So Robinhood's angle isn't just mobile first, it's mobile first for the segment of the population that expects such a product experience, who are going to grow their portfolios and trading activity in the coming decades.

> It's well-known that deflationary currencies do not work.

This is laughable. Your definition of "work" includes a presumption that we all want the government to control and manipulate the economy without regard for the interests of the individual.

Ask any individual citizen whether they would prefer that their savings increased in value or decreased in value, and I suspect they'll have a different answer as to whether a deflationary currency "works" for their purposes.

I am not confused, but I do think that we are working from different definitions of last-mile. Your definition of last-mile is a fine and probably more literal one, but I don't think it's very useful when talking about municipal last-mile networks. If the municipal network only extended from the service-drop to the home then each ISP would still need lines run all through the city. In my case for example the 'last-mile' fiber access network has a pedestal in the street every few blocks across several cities - it's a very large network. The ISPs connect at the edges of that network and provide IP to any home connected to it.

Also, fwiw it certainly is possible for a problem at the last mile even in your definition to cause a site to be inaccessible for you and not others. A bad route or a frame size problem for example can cause exactly that. Consider for example the recent problems with AT&T and 1.1.1.1 - AT&T customers couldn't use that site while others could and it was all because of a last-mile problem.
In other words, several diverse groups of people, engaging in respectful disagreement, are complaining about another group for being disrespectful in its disagreement.

I must be using a different skype for business then, ours can't even handle copy and paste from the chat window. It will regularly lose messages or send them to the wrong group. Sometimes you'll get a new message notification but the actual message will arrive several second later. It takes several seconds to close the chat window if there are a few conversations open.

And that's just the issues we have trying to send text, don't get me started on the video and audio.
I too have never stayed anywhere without free WiFi, and I travel for my work, thus I'm staying at corporate-approved hotels, for maybe 30-40 nights per year in various cities and hotel chains. And these aren't fancy hotels either, much cheaper than places I'd stay if I was on holiday enjoying myself.

The closest I've seen was a budget hotel where I stayed (not for work) after a huge party. The WiFi at that hotel was free, but it was heavily rate-limited and the rate-limits were lifted for a fee. You could use basic web pages, but Youtube wasn't possible without paying.
They're more likely to continue doing so if their constituents continue to cry out in support.

In Denmark we have electronic national ID with one-time tokens on a small piece of paper.

You can use for: government interaction, banks, utilities, health records, and lots of other things.

They also made a digital secure mailbox, where you can receive PDFs from government, banks, utilities, doctors, etc. You can also send replies.

It sucks that all of this is point-and-click web apps without a standardized API. I'm sure other countries have similar things, but most implementations are probably snowflakes.

Whereas email is universally integrated everywhere, it's not trusted for personal sensitive information.

I hope one day secure webauthn and secure email will replace all these snowflakes. But as much as I hate to admit it, the non-standard walked gardens does do a better job, with higher security than the old paper world ever did.

The "light" refers to the weight and capacity of the rail vehicles themselves. Light rail vehicles are typically smaller and carry less passengers per car than heavy rail.

Light rail systems don't share track with heavy rail (which can include freight services, etc), so the regulatory requirements for things like crash safety are often reduced.

All of this reduces the cost of the light rail systems compared to heavy rail.
I feel compelled to write a reply just so there's a record on the internet in an archive somewhere of how history actually was.

Practically no one saw or has seen ad-blocking as akin to stealing. This is a line completely made up by the advertising industry to try to co-opt a publicly available communication and content publishing system that existed and was being heavily used BEFORE advertising was prevalent.

Advertisers came along and polluted the internet after the internet was being used and free content was already being posted.

Ad-blocking arose as an organic and natural reaction to advertisers beginning to appear and moving onto the free internet, not internet denizens thinking/conspiring to get their hands on the sweet juicy content of advertisers and trying to fight their way into the advertisers domain.
>Acorns built a product that people love.

I'm sure they'll love it right up until it gets scrapped. Businesses can't run on love alone. Startups need growth to survive, as soon as this product gets big enough to interest the banks or credit card companies they will make their own and it will be better and cheaper since they can eliminate the middleman.

Maybe they're positioning themselves for an acquisition, but anyone who bought them would just be buying the idea of investing change. The app itself would be killed as its functionality would be combined into the buyers existing app ecosystem, and the backend that takes the change and makes the investments would be largely unnecessary as the banks already have the infrastructure to nickel and dime people.

The context of this article was BlackRock trying to get younger customers. To accomplish this, they invested in a startup whose target audience is apparently people who want to invest, but don't really want to put in the effort. To me that sounds like a questionable investment.

You could argue that they're providing the change investment thing as a loss-leader to try to get people interested in investing, but something like RobinHood already gives inexperienced traders the tools with which to bankrupt themselves.

> It reduces their cash savings by the ratio of the amount of new money injected to the total supply

No. That is, it can, but it doesn't have to. Their cash savings are only affected if the value of money changes, not if the quantity of money changes. The Fed's mandate is for stable value, not stable quantity.

And if you're going to ask what the difference is: Velocity. There may be other things as well, but definitely velocity.

But even my argument here isn't needed to defend QE. QE injected 4 trillion dollars into the US economy. Why did the Fed do that? Because $4 trillion had just evaporated in the meltdown of 2008. That wasn't even changing the quantity of money, it was trying to prevent a change in the quantity of money.
Okay, so you agree that in the absolute majority of cases users have no legal obligation whatsoever to watch ads, but you're interested in a hypothetical website that has constructive notice for terms of service that specifically include language which says users must watch ads. All right, let's discuss that.

In this case, even though the contract itself is enforcable, it does not necessarily follow that every clause is enforcable. Standard unilateral contract law restrictions apply. To the best of my knowledge, no comparable clause has ever been directly tested in a U.S. court, so we'll have to speculate. However, it is well established that certain types of clauses are invalid for reasons such as being unconscionable (compulsory arbitration clauses are a common example). The extent to which a website's terms of service can restrict your legal right to not download certain network packets or adjust how your browser interprets them is an open legal question, at least in the U.S. (I'm confident no such ToS would be upheld in the ECJ).

Furthermore, if we lived in the (in my opinion, dystopian) world you envision, what happens if due to, for instance, an ISP routing issue the third party advertisements you've "agreed to" aren't loaded onto your computer? Are you in breach of contract? And this is not even touching upon the question of whether a "legal obligation to watch" the content your browser actually displays in the end makes any sense (I don't really see how it could).

Also, while this is an amusing legal question to ponder, I continue to hold that the finer points of contract law in a particular jurisdiction don't really serve to illuminate any underlying moral questions.

Personally I only use Skype for video calls, and sometimes for land-line calls, and it works great. I use the web client. It feels weird to read all the comments here.

>Technically impossible to give such a guarantee. //

The guarantee is that you won't be charged for service outside of the specifications. That is, an SLA.

In UK airlines and train companies are bound to national SLAs such that if your aeroplane (this might be global?) is delayed by a significant amount [as defined by the SLA] or your train is late you get compensated.

No reason not to have that for ISPs.

The government would need to pair it with a requirement that the ISP can't ordinarily refuse service.

Being scammed by a bad boss is not the same as slavery. Not even remotely.

This people can still quit a bad job anytime and change their company and city. Can rent or buy legally a house and have a right to private property. Can obtain a citizenship after some years. Can walk by the street with a reasonable expectative to keep their personal integrity (and not being detained and executed by the police, just because). Albinos can walk without the fear to be hunted and killed for selling their viscera. Can obtain a drive license (yes, women also). Their children go to school and minors aren't allowed to work. If a boy is beaten or a girl falls in a risk group for genital mutilation there is a law and a system that try to protect him/her and pursue the offenders. Minors can't be forced to marry or have sex with other people. There is a clearly regulated age of consent. Inappropriate conducts in the workplace can be denounced... etc, etc

Free online content was around before the ads were :\

ISPs routinely invest in things that I didn’t ask for: “helpfully” trying to resolve my web typos to their own ad servers, trying to inject pop-ups into HTML streams, wanting to install unnecessary software to “use the Internet”, expecting me to rent equipment that could be bought, etc.

Meanwhile, there is little evidence of investment in things I actually expect an ISP to do. No upgrades to quality of service (except that fateful day when Google Fiber came to town and “miraculously” everything improved practically the next day). Not even an option to have cheap, basic Internet, which you know damned well they CAN do; instead, ridiculous things like “only if bundled with a landline phone” (WHAT?!?). One mystery fee after another. Absolute garbage service, everything from “we will arrive between 1 and 5” meaning “we showed up at 11:30 and you weren’t there, reschedule”, to phone calls about service outages that they seem to be utterly clueless about. A single customer probably gives them at least $1000 a year, what the hell do these people do?
> In my case for example the 'last-mile' fiber access network has a pedestal in the street every few blocks across several cities - it's a very large network. The ISPs connect at the edges of that network and provide IP to any home connected to it.

That network is effectively a full ISP excluding billing as it's connecting to 1000's of homes and then connecting to a few networks from that point.

I understand it seems like a reasonable alternative, but think of something closer to this. Connecting to every single one of those pedestal's would take ~1-3% of the wire as going to every home. If say 10 networks did it then that's not all that much overhead compared to 2 separate last mile networks.

The other approach would be to have say 2-5 networks that went to every box and then each ISP would have a device in those locations which would connect on one or more of those networks.

In either of those 2 cases the ISP's would have full control over how their customers see the internet, without nearly the wiring of having N full networks.
Sounds like good advice even if you're not a founder.
