I'm sure the argument made by the ISPs is valid. It's the basic concept of supply and demand. The demand for the service provided by the ISP is extremely price agnostic. Milk & Eggs use to be this way; prices have to rise astronomically before people start to consider supplements.

The point the ISPs are missing is that this is the opposite of progress. A society does not prosper when everyone is paying the maximum amount they would be willing to pay. The opposite is true. Society prospers when they unlock discretionary income by spending less on something they would have paid more for...

Furthermore and to that same point; the purpose of classifying something as a utility is to ensure they leave money on the table. If everyone was allowed to charge exactly what something was worth water would be infinitely more expensive.
This would work if everyone did it, but one website doing it in isolation seems unlikely to have much impact. Even if you have a very clearly spelled out "We will never send links" policy, your customers interact with dozens of websites and are unlikely to specifically remember your policy when they read the email.

Oh look, we got a logistical badass over here. Because you never ever need or want anything spur of the moment on a Sunday, right?

Look, it's not an enormous deal. But it does kind of suck. It's a decent sized decrease to convenience and a slight decrease to overall quality of life. Convenience is nice.

> If you are living in a small town, you can always move to a bigger city at any time to get the benefits of longer opening hours.

...Munich is the third largest city in the country. And I can't really just move, not a ton of Google-level jobs around. You sound like US conservatives: "don't like [insanely regressive policy]?? Why not just leave the country?!" Maybe because even if I don't like something, there's more than a single variable that I use to determine where I live?
Apparently some people think birds are dinosaurs and other people (sometimes even the same person) think dinosaurs are birds:

'There has been a recent revival of interest in the famous Early Triassic thecodont Euparkeria, and Welman (1995) has discovered a suite of avian-like anatomical features in the basicranium. Paul (2002:179), an ardent advocate of the “birds-are-dinosaurs,” and more recently, “dinosaurs-are-birds” school, admits that, “Euparkeria is a suitable ancestral type for birds … and … Euparkeria is a good ancestral type for all archosaurs.”'

This is a terrible argument. The customer is already paying for the connection to their house. The issues that ISPs are having is that they advertised an unlimited data cap at a certain speed, and with video services, customers are making use of it. The ISPs would now like to blame the services that the customers are using on their unlimited connection.

The honest thing for the ISPs to do is either:

1. Build out the capacity to service the unlimited connections they advertise.

Or

2. Stop advertising unlimited connections.
>Even something as civilized as a court of law depends on the existence of armed enforcers in order to be respected.

I disagree with the premise that the threat of institutionalized penalty is what causes people to be good. I think the primary cause of good behavior is lack of reason to commit crime (i.e well fed and housed comfortably) as well as culture.

Why else would cities with exactly the same legal systems across the USA have different crime rates?
Doubtful, as Qualcomm baseband chipsets have been in dual sim phones for ages. It’s more likely two reasons:

1) Intel somehow is doing CDMA now, that’s a major reason previous generations were split between Qualcomm and Intel

2) The major reason Intel has a seat at the table is due to Apple and Qualcomm‘s very public fight. Intel and Apple don’t have an entirely happy relationship, but it’s a far better relationship than Apple and Qualcomm

Also, I don't think businesses, especially publicly traded ones, have the ability to act ethically.

Let me try rephrasing my point...

The world is complicated and decisions can be justified in a variety of ways. Morally good and bad decisions can equally be made. Therefore, companies are as moral as the people who run them.

Some immoral people would have you believe that when they make management decisions they must act in a way devoid of moral concerns... but this is a radical statement and an attempt to excuse their immorality. Even Adam Smith wrote at great lengths about the moral concerns of businesses. These two are not divorced from each other.
Any consumer ISP worth using should themselves be a tier 2 network, which means that for full global routability, yes - they take transit from peering with at least one tier 1 provider, but the bulk of their transit will come via peering at neutral internet exchanges - paying just for per-port costs and potentially membership fees.

They are also then free to peer directly with Netflix, who have an open peering policy: https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/peering-locations/

If you're pushing enough traffic, Netflix will also send you an Open Connect caching appliance for free: https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/appliances-overview/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rozenburg_wind_wall:

”Rozenburg wind wall in Rozenburg, Netherlands, is a wall built to block wind from entering the Calandkanaal, and ease the passage of large cargo ships through the narrow canal, particularly through the Calandbrug bridge. The wall blocks about 75% of the wind and allows the ships to pass smoothly.
The wall is 1600 meters long and it is made up of 125 rectangular and cylindrical slabs, each about 25 meters tall and 18 meters wide.”

> No. It's as cultural as it is religious, and there are 0 'Social Democrats' against the notion of Sundays off on religious grounds.

Totally, utterly wrong. If you tried to mandate Sundays off anywhere in the US, the entirety of the left would oppose it. If you don't realize this, you may not know much about US politics. The left there is very concerned about any signs of state-sponsored religious favoritism, and this would very obviously qualify.
I can see wireless as an issue -- where I live I share a tower with rush-hour traffic which leads to very slow LTE speeds during the commute times, streaming anything is just painfully slow at those times.

Still, charging the source isn't going to solve the last-mile congestion issues. At most it gives them extra "free" money to upgrade their network (or give bigger CxO bonuses) so they don't have to charge their customers more and risk loosing them to the competition.
I agree with you but something different, called "net neutrality" could be implemented trivially; just make sure the net revenue ISP receives from all external entities, for X amount of data is equal.

I'm just trying to say that "net neutrality" already has a political definition that isn't the only way to interpret those words, so its probably fair for the opposition party to try and redefine it. However I also agree that trying to quibble about definitions is usually not a good way make an argument convincing.
I am in the same position. I have tried entrepreneurship a few times but in the end it came down to me not being good at sales. I think hiring someone for sales doesn't work. Either do it yourself or partner with someone who can sell.
SADMs and Davy Crockett couldn't repulse a massed Soviet armoured thrust. They simply didn't have the yield and blast radius needed and were deployed in tiny numbers. This can be deduced by the neutron-protective lining applied to Soviet first-line tanks, they were expected to roll on through.

Massed 155mm conventional artillery was NATO's mainstay response, with ATGMs to pick-off high-value targets like command tanks.

Later MLRS and Assault Breaker were developed, again conventional solutions.
One difference is that US regulation (on intrmediary liability, privacy, and copyright) has been much more favorable to consumer platforms than has EU regulation over the last few decades. http://law.emory.edu/elj/_documents/volumes/63/3/articles/ch... is a good summary.

If you segfault, then the error is clear. You're crashing, because (as the debugger or valgrind will show you) you tried to dereference this memory after you already freed it. You can then figure out why you freed it this early and change that. If you're in an undefined (according to your application's internal logic) state, it can be much harder to track down why it's acting erratically.

>What we’re beginning to learn now is that, of all those things Marlantes mentioned, unaddressed guilt might be the most dangerous for returning veterans. A recent study by the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) shows that nearly two-dozen veterans are killing themselves every day, nearly one an hour. This attrition, connected at least in part to combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other war-related psychological injuries, is an enormous price to pay for avoiding the subject. So great, in fact, that the total number of US active duty suicides in 2012 (349) was higher than the number of combat-related deaths (295).

Unfortunately, the Mathematica language is a 'write-only' language; reading and debugging code months after use is... difficult. And that means it's hard to build up libraries which depend on libraries. The Sage community is great, and pushes a lot of code for research problems; things that are technically possible in Mathematica, which someone might work up into a notebook at some point, with a lot of effort, grow into reliable libraries in Sage.
According to notebookcheck only about half the devices they tested use PWM:

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Why-Pulse-Width-Modulation-PWM...

It seems to be well known that it for low frequency PWM it causes headaches for some people, so I would expect that there is at least some research in that direction. That said, it seems to only be a problem for few people and only for very low frequencies.
>What's the actual problem?

Greed. Maximize shareholder value. So they'll use circular, trump-like arguments to justify killing net neutrality.

These ISPs conveniently forget or omit the fact that without Netflix or YouTube, most customers would be fine with 2-5Gb a month of data - i.e. they'll make much less from their customers.
I don't understand how "start genociding" became a valid solution.
There just isn't much innovation going on in Europe. Consumer goods are hyper global - the best wins. B2B is more nuanced, locality matters. Plus so many playing the grant game (which only works for B2B).

That said there are enough success stories to know that you absolutely can do it in Europe. It's really more about how few are even trying rather than how impossible it is.
This is great! I would love love a boat maneuver game with the same engine. A killer simulator would be one that takes into account wind and current, single vs multi-engine, bow thrusters, prop walk, etc.

I think at its core this is basically it. We can argue all day about the differences in culture and mindset, but the most significant advantage the USA has that the EU cannot effectively replicate (yet) is the access to a large, homogeneous single language single currency market from the get go.

The more interesting question would be why are Google and Facebook American and not Chinese or Indian.
I still struggle to think of a blockchain application in the logistics and supply chain domain that goes beyond trused digital customs docs and would work. Maybe I lack imagination, but sometimes it reminds me of the RFID hype back the day, only that with blockchain being digital, as compared to an RFID chip, it attracts a lot more buzzword hunters.

I received what is essentially a humanities degree -- a math degree from UW in the College of Arts and Sciences -- in 1990. I loved reading Shakespeare, studying Philosophy, etc... and became a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Later I got a PhD in Computer Science, but I always cherished and recommended getting a liberal arts degree. Most afternoons in UW's Red Square you would encounter a myriad of street preachers, protestors, activists of all colors and stripes -- it was the kind of environment where your views would eventually be challenged. Debates were often out in the open and you better leave your straw men and ad hominem rants at home. It toughened me up and even altered some of my views. That is the way it should be.

Things have changed a great deal since then. Much of the liberal arts and related fields have been hijacked by the "social justice warrior" types. Free Speech is almost dead on campuses. Classic liberal and thoughtful progressive views have been overrun by those seeking to silence anyone who has an opinion that deviates from PC culture. Students are now indoctrinated into becoming "professional victims" and endorsing "identity politics" and its ilk. Ironically, in the push for diversity (an important goal) there ends up being very little intellectual diversity at all -- humanity professors think in complete lockstep with one another. Outrage and offense is the new badge of honor. Being "triggered" from "micro-aggression" is the new currency. Students are sheltered and protected from anything that they may offend them -- in the end the become intellectually weak.

I haven't visited Red Square in a long while -- but I doubt you see the same crazy speakers that once frequented there. Why would would any thoughtful young folks who thought "outside the lines" even bother anymore -- students just keep their heads down and focus on getting a degree that has future earning potential. If you fight it, you risk your degree. It is a sad conclusion, the humanities are indeed in crisis.
Why that nonsense? The ISP has to create a sustainable business model by setting the pricing for the customer properly. If the market changes, eg streaming becomes a thing, they have to adjust prices accordingly, not try to charge other parties. The net has always been unfair in that not everyone was charged exactly according to what cost they generated. We couldn't have flat rates if it weren't for that. Even before that we mostly charged people by time spent online instead of traffic generated, which doesn't make too much sense either and mostly was just carried over from the analogue modem days.

I think it's primarily due to mindset.

With a B2B business, you see more revenue earlier. That revenue then goes on to fund the next stage, product, market, whatever. In B2C businesses, it takes quite a bit more effort to become profitable and you're likely to scale long before that point.

If you're in an ecosystem that is used to making bets on B2C companies (not just investors but founders, leadership, and employees), you know and have lived this difference and plan accordingly. If your ecosystem has less venture capital and less people who have lived that, you need cashflow sooner and something resembling profitability earlier.

I wish I could upvote this comment again. When I joined the industry as a software engineer I was blown away by all the large companies in the space which I'd never even heard of. And I'd agree that despite it not being nearly as sexy, it's way more stable and you generally get to tackle more interesting problems.

There are plenty of companies most people have probably never heard of which are basically setup as infrastructure or support for the Fortune 500.

You forgot the best resource https://github.com/joukos/PaperTTY discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17896825

You can buy fairly cheap displays from https://www.waveshare.com/ along with Raspberry Pi HATs and the PaperTTY project gives the power to do a partial refresh instead of full screen refresh on these screens. The waveforms are available in the Waveshare open source code and you can modify them as you will.
