The states brought suit in the court specified by federal law. They don't get to pick the judges. They're suing the FCC, not Congress.

The courts will either uphold the order or overturn it on procedural grounds. If they uphold the order, Congress doesn't have to do anything. If they overturn it, the FCC can try again, Congress can amend the procedures the FCC is required to follow, and/or Congress can enact the same rules the FCC improperly ordered.

The other part of the case is whether states can enforce their own regulations, which several have already passed. It's better for everyone to resolve that question promptly and with a single case. Declaratory judgment, where the courts resolve a dispute before it reaches a critical point, is part of the design.
As a fellow Democrat, I'm deeply disappointed to hear this. First, it's not a conservative argument in favor of free speech, because their criticisms of limits to free speech are limited to speech that they support.

Second, the first amendment is clearly and unambiguously intended to protect the right to free speech from governmental interference. There are myriad outlets for speech, and as long as that continues to be the case, you can't just handwave something like "corporate censorship dampens the spirit of free speech". Argue from facts, not ideology: show that it's actually happening.

Further, there is no argument for making Twitter, Google, Facebook, CloudFlare, or any other company into a public utility that wouldn't also apply to Fox News, Clear Channel, or the Drudge Report, and compel them to publish liberal views.

Alex Jones is facing backlash from these companies not because of his reprehensible politics, but because he has been inciting violence against other people and these companies, finally, are taking some responsibility for their role in that. Maybe when he finally stops trying to convince people to go after the families of Sandy Hook victims or "investigate" pizza shops, he'll be let back onto the playground to play with the other kids.

sorry, that was on my phone, was trying to say "if you had to pay someone their previous ("old comp") pay during the year the non-competes would be a lot more palatable to me.

I support your argument that it should be painful for a company to enforce a non-compete. I was trying to go middle to maybe show how bad non-competes are and attract people in the middle.

I just don't think it's politically viable to pay triple. On the other hand, you would be depriving someone of their liberty if they were not able to work.

Thanks for clarifying.. it sounds thoroughly tragic, and the kind of endemic overengineering that made so many people (myself included) run screaming from the original App Engine over the years. I guess GCP really turned a page in Google culture and learned to finally listen to customers

False equivalence. Not only does eBay have actual alternatives, the start up cost is much higher for a new ISP.

Startup cost is not equivalent to "getting customers" cost. I can launch eBay 2 tomorrow, I cannot do that for Comcast2.
To add to this; if a company does want me to put effort into proving I can code a solution to whatever problem, then they better have gone to the trouble of:

a) setting up a git repo with working code in it (including tests, dependencies and whatever else) so I don't have to worry about inane(but taxing) decisions in terms of project structure/code style. Also, verify it works before sending it out to candidates.

b) including clear & detailed instructions on what is expected

c) given the test to current employees (blind) & timed them on it (allowing for the fact they know the domain & technology)

d) make it somewhat representative of day to day. i.e. I have 0 interest in spending time configuring and doing anything which is a 1-off task such as authentication etc..(unless the companies primary product is security/auth)

In short, make it easy for me to prove myself.

You can't backtest a fund such as VTI. The issue is that these analysis don't take into factors such as volume. I'm sure if someone backtested $100MM investment in Bitcoin starting from 2010, the results would be spectacular, but we all know that buying pressure would've caused Bitcoin to skyrocket and the returns would be less than the backtested results.

I personally tell people to invest in index funds if they don't understand investing, but it doesn't mean it will do better than other options. Index funds are only a recent phenomenon.

The biggest issue with index funds at the moment is "group-think". If everyone in America is investing via index funds then when people need money, those same index funds will fall sharply. There is a valid line of thinking where one should avoid stocks with heavy exposure to index funds because those stocks will have the best returns during an equities downturn.

This seems inconsistent with how, if you are put in prison, the government is obligated to provide you with food and shelter at no cost to you. If you only have a right "to" life in your interpretation, could not the government say, you need to pay out of pocket for food and shelter, and if you can't afford it, it's your fault you're starving to death in a dungeon?

And given the potential savings, why don't more governments do exactly that?
We explicitly do not say it's ok to force children to pay for their own upkeep. A parent is required to take care of their child and that is legally enforced, but a child can refuse all chores and the government doesn't punish them.

In fact, the government will punish the parents if they try to not take care of their child or punish them too severely for not doing their chores

You cannot make your own ISP. You can make your own eBay.

There is no competition for Comcast, there is for eBay. It appears your very premise is flawed but I welcome you to demonstrate why this isn't true.
I can't speak for all manufacturers and/or dealers, but it is almost certainly the same people, or at least the same process. During dealer prep they will definitely fix anything broken, or damage to the car that made it past the factory inspector or happened during transit. And they will install certain options that you can buy but are not done at the factory, including installing parts that are prone to being damaged during transport (for example, the spoiler on my GM car is not optional, supplied by the factory, and has to be installed by the dealer body shop after the car arrives).
KCorbitt, thanks to you and the team, I was really impressed with how this was handled.
There's another broader question with a design of this type.

Do you want a visualization that abstracts away everything except for some essential aspect of data or do you want one that embeds a great deal of information and ties it all together in a way that rewards considerable study?

This does the latter. It may or may not do so accurately (hence the article) but it's certainly not a graphic that you glance at for 5 seconds and immediately grok what it's trying to convey.
I've heard this about amazon. Without giving myself away, I'm a very experienced engineer and people asked me to come work there in a senior role, but the fact they have started to enforce non-competes means no one should go there. It's a serious problem. So I can't work in my field after I leave an amazon job? They do basically everything, they compete with every software company. it's just ridiculous.
I meant on a very low level - a central database can be manipulated to effectively rewrite history.

If you have a web of signatures, similar to PGP, Keybase and a few other systems, you can't do that.

The same goes for a blockchain.

What you put in there is susceptible to the oracle problem, but that is another level. Both these things need attention.
I can't recommend this book highly enough. Very practical, and the way the chapters are organized really feels right. The excercises and examples really help drive the concepts home.

In my opinion, Learn You A Haskell is a poor resource to learn the language and for some readers seems to be actually counterproductive (I have two friends who got through LYAH and then tried actually using Haskell, realized they have no idea how to actually use the language, and give up on Haskell altogether :( If only they'd used The Haskell Book...)
The article hasn't described the root cause but Musk had hinted at it in one of the interviews. I think what happened was that when gigafactory started, they had this huge vision of complete end-to-end automated assembly. So there were robots designed for each portions of assembly, including some robots which were supposed to operate in inperfect situations through vision data, for example, locating a dangling hose, grasping it and connecting it within a car. The big learning was that robotic functions that operated in uncertain environment, relied on vision and tried to perform manipulation tasks failed big time to do the job consistently. Musk mentioned that human would pick up a gangling hose and connect to its expected position effortlessly in a second while a robot will fumble around and dig in to car even damaging it. In past few months, I think they have put a lot many more humans at work turning in to more traditional way of assembly, although more automated than other car manufacturers.

It's disgusting but a reality that the 13th amendment loophole expressly permits slavery of convicts. And so the Civil War was won by the South since Plantations 2.0 continue unimpeded.

You ignored my "stick" point; it still stands. Anyhow, I'd like clarification on "doesn't scale well". (Large apps should probably be partitioned into smaller apps that use a database or the like to share info/state.)

This is always the first thing I look for in the new version announcements for big blogging platforms.

Would be amazing if I didn't need to know a completely separate technology and/or hack together bridges/site "staticizers" in order to have a quite basic functionality (the site be 100% static when no back-end dynamic interaction is needed).

I personally don't buy into the fake meat trend. Fake meat is highly processed, you have to add a lot of stuff to make it look, feel and taste like meat. So it's far away from being a "natural food". After spending a bit of time in the space, I've come to the following conclusion: Live mostly (!) vegan, eat fish 1-2x a week, eat chicken once in a while (both have very good feed to food conversion ratios [1]). Try to avoid beef as much as possible - I do eat it when I crave really badly (every 2-3 months?)

>allow people to be terrible on social media without taking responsibility for it?

This is a euphemism for banning users and a misrepresentation of the the points I have seen, which is that it is hypocritical to seek government safeguards against ISPs favoring/disfavoring traffic/content depending on the source while clamoring for just that from giant internet media corporations
What a great humanitarian endeavor, to punish the weakest and most vulnerable for the benefit of the whole.

You could even go with vultr or ovh and cut it even lower.
We've toyed with either paying them for something we can use or asking them to add a feature to one of the open source projects under our care — but in either case, you lose the reliability and objectivity of the task, because different candidates will have better or worse prompts. Using the same prompt for everyone means we can use the same rubric for everyone.
It should be noted that the US Constitution allows prisoners to be treated as slaves:

> Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

> It's time FAANG pays their share for video streaming bandwidth

They do pay their share.

In general, when party X and party Y communicate on the internet, they both pay a service provide (their ISP) for a connection to the internet backbone. That payment to their ISP fully pays for the costs of the data X and Y send to or receive from the internet (or their ISP won't stay in business for long).

What you are calling "internet freedom" is party X's ISP saying it won't allow X to communicate with Y unless Y also pays X's ISP, even though X is already paying X's ISP for the bandwidth X is using with Y.

> why shouldn't they be forced to take on some of their own upkeep?

Because taking away someone's freedoms is a serious thing. There should be a high economic cost to society for imprisoning people; it serves as a structural disincentive to over-use of prison.

Perhaps the morality of over-using prison should serve as a sufficient deterrent for society, but the facts demonstrate that this is not the case.

America's very serious incarceration problem needs economic disincentives because the status quo proves that this country is apparently not sufficiently motivated by morality.

And even if you don't accept this argument, it still does not follow that we should under-pay prisoners. We should at the very least pay prisoners market rates and then charge them for the true cost of their incarceration. E.g.,

National average salary for firefighters: $49,330 PLUS (good) health benefits.

National average total cost of incarceration: $31,000 INCLUDING (terrible) health care. And keep in mind that a well-behaved prisoner in a low or medium security facility -- likely the case for those allowed on firefighting crews -- will cost substantially less than the amortized per-prisoner cost.

So even if inmates should "earn their keep", the state is still pocketing on the order of 5 figures per year. Worse still, IMO that money would go a lot further preventing recidivism than any amount of rehabilitation or work ethic.
You don't have to be anti-sex to be anti the kidnapping and raping of children.

Because their value isn't from the product itself. It's from being able to dig into the data being transferred with the product.
That's absolutely not true. Parents are legally entitled to use coercion and punishment to force children to pay for their own upkeep. That's one of the key reasons people used to have kids until relatively recently--for help on the farm.
If it happens occasionally it is an accident, if it happens frequently it absolutely is deliberate and fraud. Or the company is too incompetent to be in business.
I agree, and I'd go further: A Job Guarantee type program would work better than UBI. Have the government provide a 'minimum standard job', available to any worker who wants one. Beyond economic benefits similar to UBI (but probably at lower cost), people who want to work can have the dignity of doing work.
>If you complain about having to spend a couple hours outside the interview on work, maybe you don't really want the job that bad enough.

As an employee, I see it the opposite way. If a company is offloading interviewing costs onto interviewees in this way, then I am competing as a commodity and the overall offer is unlikely to be good. A company with this sort of process can afford to test everyone and pick up the 0.1% of folks who are geniuses that don't know that they're worth $150k+ at a salary of $60k/yr.

If I'm not imposing costs proportional to what I'm expending, I'm unnecessarily weakening my negotiating position and setting up the wrong incentives. This is why it's a good idea to get your customer service complaint resolved through tying up a phone agent, making a complaint on twitter, or generating a paper trail that concerns the "no regulatory incidents" department.

So you can eat 2000 calories worth of lettuce in a sitting. Or 2000 calories worth of celery or 130 whole cucumbers.

I didn't say a diet that isn't calorie dense. I implied foods. As a lot of the "named" diets happen to cut out the foods that are denser in calories.

I also didn't say impossible. I said difficult. Most people aren't going to try and cram 130 cucumbers in a single daily meal.

And by tracking it "using the labeling on the package" isn't really tracking. That's just looking. And not everything has labeling or packaging.

I've always had success when I'm honest with myself and I ruthlessly record every single source of calories that I ingest.
Good. We need strong customs enforcement there too. </snark>
I used to agree, but thinking broadly this seems to be a reactionary thinking.

You want food products tested and certified?

You want bridge engineering to be verified safe?

You want medicine to be tested thoroughly before injecting?

Why not try to create a brand of tested software engineering practices?

Clearly it would create a public distinction with online gigs, people expecting xYears of experience with crap pay.

I mean, I think you might understand why people protest Netflix price increases because it affects them. When things affect people personally, they care. That's why prisoners themselves are striking here, to bring attention to their struggle as well as advocate for themselves.

I listened to some kind of "sales pitch" for that system. Their selling point was not to somehow force the state of Burma to recognise their citizens. It was to create a peoples registry of identities, without the aid of a nation state. Exactly how they collect these identities, I don't remember. I fell asleep.
Entertainment dollars are largely fixed for the majority of people. Millennials and younger demonstrate this in huge percentages.

The forms compete too, movie, games, etc... A Netflix account is a good deal, but not so good that everyone mooching will buy if they suddenly cannot share and share alike with others..

Netflix could get a bigger slice of the pie, but something else will take a hit. And Netflix will get a bigger slice too. Just not as big as they may envision.

Some will seek other services.

And there is growth, I am not making a zero sum argument. I am making a priority one.

Growth is not at the rates desired either. That is due to debt and wages.

One person has Netflix, shares with a few others, who may have other accounts. Everyone gets more potential entertainment.

Close that up, and for the most part, everyone gets less entertainment, and some amount of more dollars will get spent, but not the big potential gain the sharing would indicate.
