Thank you! This resolution, in short, was aimed at preventing the FCC from eliminating Net Neutrality. That means a "YEA" vote was a vote for preserving Net Neutrality, and a "NAY" vote was a vote for allowing the FCC to eliminate Net Neutrality.

If I am reading your link correctly, it looks like 47 Democrats (and 2 independents who caucus with the Democrats) voted "YEA" -- that is, 100% of Democrats voted "yes" to preserving Net Neutrality. On the other hand, it looks like 47 Republicans voted "NAY", with only 3 voting exceptions. That is, 94% of Republicans voted against saving Net Neutrality.

It's amazing that they were split almost entirely along party lines! Democrats unanimously voted in favor of preserving Net Neutrality, while the huge majority of Republicans voted against Net Neutrality.

> A billionaire cannot just quit a job. There must be a transition period. A billionaire can't just no call no show.

Not only that, I imagine that quitting before retirement age could add a lot of anxiety for a billionaire due to loss of status, loss of purpose, feelings of failure, etc.
That sounds like a good thing. I am not familiar with the case though so not giving Verizon too much credit yet
“Why doesn’t Apple just get rid of Lightning and use USB-C on their iPhones!”

This is why. Ignoring the momentum Lightning had from being a few years older, this is a great reason not to switch.

Sadly I know this has become a big problem for people on the new Macs. Plug a USB-C hub in? Now that port doesn’t do Thunderbolt or Display Port. How do you know that? Trial and error.

Very un-Appley.
The USB-C port can pull substantially more power than the USB-A ports.

Instead of getting the USB-PD stuff setup to reject requests, they just have a single USB-C port.
AFAIK, cell companies were never under the "net neutrality" regulations, which is something that's often not made as clear as it probably should be in these discussions. Also, T-Mobile is doing is called "zero rating" in industry parlance, and I think you're correct that zero rating would have been legal under net neutrality regulation even if it had applied.
Your first point is actually very beneficial to the rich and owners of capital. Letting illegal immigrants stay in the country puts downward pressure on wages for work at the lower end of the income scale so business owners save a ton of money and the workers can't organize because they're illegal.

If Americans actually cared about the plight of illegal immigrants, they wouldn't be against efforts at trying to remove them, they would be for efforts to streamline immigration so that it's consistent, less costly, and lets disruptive to the immigrants' lives. At the same time, the US would also have to be hard on illegal immigration to prevent illegal immigrants from undercutting wages for those here legally. As long as there is a divide in the quality of life between everything south of the US border, there will always be incentive to illegally immigrate. The proper solution is to keep sending them back, make it harder to get in, and HELP the poorer countries increase their quality of life so they aren't incentivized to risk their lives for a future.

But I wouldn't bet on it, too many people like cheap labor, and too many people get emotional about kicking out illegal immigrants.
Nobody is defending illegal immigration, not even liberals. What is being opposed here is the masking of racist ideals under the guise of preventing illegal immigration.

Illegal crossings at the border are currently one of the most controversial topics in American politics and yet the actual impact of the issue on American citizens is much less. This clearly shows how the real motivations behind the border wall are not as claimed by its proponents.

I think we were scared of giving them the power to let it go the other way (like you mentioned). However, that’s not the only point as to why net neutrality was in place. Comcast and other ISPs are businesses, and businesses need to protect their own interests. In any case Comcast can block any website they wish to block from here on out. If a website doesn’t align with their political/businesses opinions, they now have the power to wish those opinions away. If WSJ publishes an article about how Comcast messed up, just block access to it. Easy.

The attached video only supports mono audio in the left channel. Evidently no one involved in this release process listened to the video with headphones. Stuff like this is always humbling to me, that you can have a big release with dozens of people involved yet mess up something simple.
In the case of a charger, you must always use a charge-stop adapter if you’re charging from a public charger. They’re cheap and a couple offer bulk discounts to companies.
> A billionaire cannot just quit a job. There must be a transition period. A billionaire can't just no call no show. It's possible, but it never happens.

They absolutely can. A board may not want to publicize the sudden leave, which might contribute to not hearing about it. The whatsapp founders left Facebook pretty quickly, although not for mental health reasons.

It also takes a certain kind of workaholic to reach billionaire levels of wealth. If you've already made it to that kind of egg, you may just have a good handle on anxiety.

> A billionaire cannot travel to Europe like I can, going from Airbnb to airbnb, hopping in an Uber, surfing with the locals, enjoying fish tacos.

They absolutely can. Maybe not someone who has intentionally made their image part of their personal brand, but could you pick Jim Walton or Micheal Bloomberg out of a lineup? And they're two of the very richest billionaires — not the mere single-digit billionaires.

> A billionaire ends up being an ambassador with little privacy.

I don't think that's true at all. Money buys privacy.

> Immediately get appointments with great healthcare providers. Maybe. But so can I.

The silent follow-up clause to that sentence is "... and not have to think about the cost." (Assuming our billionaire is from the US.)

Voat is to Reddit, what Gab is to Twitter.

That is to say, a site that prides itself on "free speech," but in reality makes itself the home of the same cesspool that produces the alt-right, incels, 4chan, and whatever hairdo Richard Spencer is wearing right now.

It's sad, though. It had a lot of potential as a Reddit alternative.
I don’t think they ever say it’s USB-C, we all just know it is. So they can claim things are damaging your device when they’re not Nintendo certified.

I like Nintendo, but that’s a joke and a jerk move. They have a Tegra platform, why couldn’t they do it right?
>and you have to dig deep to find the nuggets.

What nuggets would that be and how deep would I need to dig into the shit? I couldn't find any content of interest on the frontpage so I visited the section dedicated to programming. Top content over there seems to be of roughly the same value (or lack thereof, "github something something SJWs").

I know the feeling, but having wound down a business with a similar asset profile, I can say that it is better to be nursing credit cards a few years later having learned scores of valuable lessons than it would have been jumping off a bridge. My life is objectively and subjectively better having gone through owning a failing business than it would have if I had just run. Hang in there, it gets better, and better things await you!

I think China had no choice in 2015. The collapse of the stock market, spurring the capital outflow (currently, 3 Trillion of 6 Trillion of China's wealth is overseas) and induced by the 'corruption crackdown' by Xi Jing Ping, exposed the fragile economic condition in China (350% debt/gdp). China realized it was playing a severely weak hand, and it had to act belligerent in its own self interest. So it

- threatened several of its neighbors with occupying and later arming the islands in SCS

- threatened to invade Taiwan

- ramped up hacking efforts to steal IP around the world

- told its citizens to stop buying from Korea after the missile crisis

- told its citizens to stop buying from Japan after the island issue

- propping up dictatorships around the world

this is all in an effort to redirect the world to look away from its demographics decline, growth flatlining, reshoring and factories moving out of China, etc
She actually started another right after that. Listen to the interview she did on "How I built this"
It seems like there's quite a difference in self driving technology between highspeed and lowspeed ability. Generally low speed seems to be pretty safe. But apparently all high speed systems have the "blind spot" of having to disregard stationary objects in front of them due to false positives from overhead highway signs, flyovers etc.

So when there's a broken car in your lane on the freeway the autodriver will just slam right into it.

I doubt the public will accept any system that has this kind of inherent flaw because it seems just insane to a human driver. This will probably have to be fixed before highway driving is approved but city driving, with a speed limit, might happen much sooner.
Sure there is. People have a right to know what they're buying, even if they make faulty decisions based on this information.

> how many would recognize Len Blavatnik, #46 on Forbes billionare list worth $21B (for example)?

Exactly. Or even the Waltons, two of the Forbes top-15. If their image isn't part of their public brand, you probably wouldn't recognize them.
You've not answered if ISPs are/should be allowed to intentionally degrade traffic deemed to be "video" or "peer to peer", by shaping algorithm or packet inspection, in order to make their service unusable for that purpose unless you buy an upgrade.
If they are in the same social class as you, then you know that about them. Not sure how that refutes my argument.
I was shocked to discover the same thing! It seems like the best way to preserve Net Neutrality is to vote Republican career politicians out of office.
You're mistaken, that was about radar not LIDAR. Telsa cars have no LIDAR.

The radars in use have poor angular resolution meaning they can tell if something is moving toward or away from it, but cannot tell where that object is. Since driving down the road will necessarily involve many objects on the side of the road, but the radar apparently can't tell where they are because of it's poor angular resolution, the 'solution' was apparently to filter out everything moving towards the sensor at the car's current speed (e.g, all stationary objects.)

It's unclear to me what if any circumstances will cause the emergency breaking system in a Tesla to fire.
Every word has a rich history which, if traced back far enough, will lead you to a source that is likely only figuratively related to what people currently understand it to mean.

So we’re already in that future and we seem to cope alright.

That hypothetical would be a bit more compelling if it weren't predicated the idea that someone might invent a version of steak that is white, gelatinous and shelf stable.
I disagree. It's not a mess. It works well. So much better than USB 2.0.

I don't have to try to 'key' it correctly when plugging it in and the connections are fast and 'just work'.
A insanely great way.

Wow I didn't know it turned out so bad. Even then reddit isn't much better either. Damn the internet has turned into a cesspool or maybe I don't remember it was a cesspool 20 years ago too.

"Hey, where's the St. Louis Post-Dispatch," I thought to myself.

Ugh, it's now the 26th largest by circulation [0]. How the mighty have fallen. They do have RSS feeds, if you want to add them:

However, like most other smaller dailies on this list, they no longer do much national reporting (it's all from the wire services). So, unless you're really into hearing about local politics in various mid-sized U.S. cities -- which I'm not disparaging, because I actually am! -- a lot of these are going to be pretty useless for you.

It's hardly surprising given how many truly repugnant people on Reddit were promoting Voat as an alternative to Reddit for the subreddits that were so bad that even Reddit wouldn't tolerate them.
I guess this solidifies the more and more common view that Apple's thought leadership is something from the past.

A few years ago, the messaging was along the lines of "just wait, this will just be a temporary pain - Apple is just being brave and taking the industry leader role as usual".
Then all Musk needs to do is not allow Tesla to "come to find" out that LIDAR is necessary before the technology has advanced to such a degree that they can retrofit the Model X and to do so when the cost has come down sufficiently to afford it.

Which is what he's currently doing. When they do finally admit that LIDAR is necessary, Elon will play the "no body could have foreseen this situation and we were operating under the best knowledge at the time" card.

He's bullshit all the way down.

I imagine if this really is an attack the attacker would expect these devices to be subject to scrutiny - perhaps the first set of fans released to journalists are safe, but as the summit goes on and the initial reports cleared them then just bribe hotel staffers to surreptitiously replace them with Trojan Horse devices. Or have just a small subset of devices as THs and hope the ones that get opened up are the safe ones.
Thats more of a reflection of our society than reddit itself.

I don't often upvote, but I've many times thought the same. What you you wrote is spot on, therefore I gave you my upvote.

Regarding the matter, I think it's a fair comparison. Sure, there's some virtuality to data traffic as opposed to physical shipping for example, but there's always a physical dimension there as well. Free markets and competition never fully works where there's limited resources (in this case, the space and availability of network infrastructure). In addition, physical infrastructure can be blocked by competitors in many different ways, hindering new players trying to compete.

I ported huge amounts of code to .NET Core and it was effortless. It always depends which API your code uses. I think that is similar to your Java experience.

The Core API factoring was focused to remove deprecated API. When not using "deprecated" framework API, the porting is pretty easy.

> Its chairman has long argued against the rules, pointing out that before they were put into effect in 2015, service providers had not engaged in any of the practices the rules prohibited

That's because those practices were prohibited by the 2010 rules. There was only a year between the court striking down the 2010 rules in early 2014 and the FCC adopting the 2015 rules in early 2015.

The court that overturned the 2010 rules told the FCC how they could fix them, and the FCC got to work on that right away, so the ISPs knew that replacement rules would come out soon. Of course no sane ISP made any changes during that year.
> A billionaire cannot just quit a job. There must be a transition period. A billionaire can't just no call no show. It's possible, but it never happens.

It's not called "quitting". It's usually "taking a sabbatical" or "a leave of absence". It's only "quitting" if you don't make very much.

While people have fed their children plant-milks in an attempt to keep them vegetarian and the results on the kids are tragic, removing Milk from the names of plant-milks isn't going to save kids. If the parents can't research enough to know their children will not thrive on the nutrients in plant-milks(I would also advise against using regular milk as a comprehensive source of nutrients too) then those children will befall other tragedies because of their parent's; not because for a few years we were crazy enough to allow almond latex to be sold as almond milk.
> I'd say it's not irrational to consider the possibility that these firms either are directly or via the Taiwanese government cooperating with US cyberattacks.

But to be totally clear: that's no more than speculation.

It's also not irrational to consider the possibility that there's been no cooperation but that the certificates were stolen.

> It's also possible that unicorns exist. Considering that certificates have been "stolen" from Taiwanese firms multiple times [2]

Malware that uses stolen certificates is less unique than once thought. If a group building a bank trojan can steal certs, I'm sure state intelligence agencies can too.

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/11/evasi...

There is also some reason to think their certificates would be targeted for theft, because code signed by those firms would be some of the least conspicuous. There are a lot of Taiwanese firms that make a lot of low-profile specialized support silicon that's literally everywhere (Sound, USB, Wifi, etc), and a driver signed by one will arouse less suspicion. Inconspicuousness would be a high priority for a nation-state hacker trying to avoid detection.

The possibility that the Stuxnet and Duqu certs were stolen is speculation too, but it's less inflammatory and more likely in my judgement.

It's also worth noting that getting explicit cooperation from a company to use their certificate would be risky for clandestine nation-state operation, since the more organizations that know about aspects of it, the more likely it will fail. If word got out that a particular code signing cert was shared, a rival actor could focus attention on suspicious code signed by that cert and be more likely to detect it.

>> The implication is that American silicon itself is backdoored.

> There was no such implication. Compromising hardware never makes sense unless you can intercept the hardware en route (something the NSA has been known to do [1]).

That's wrong. If the silicon is comprised from the get-go, there's no need for an interception step.
Seems silly for your car to become obsolete when Apple upgrades from 30-pin to lightning connectors (as happened to a couple people I know), when most of the functionality they used could have been provided by a headphone jack.

What happens when you buy the latest Android device but your car's hardware won't support an up to date version of Android Auto?

Unless you're just getting a 3-year lease and won't be dealing with upgrade issues anyway, I'd suggest making the available integrations the last criterion on the list - a tie-breaker between two otherwise equal options, or an add-on to purchase if you find your car of choice under budget.
I'd accept it and dissect it.
