"Did the order that killed net neutrality move them back to being Title I "information services"?"

Yeah, it did.

"There have already been court rulings that states cannot regulate Title I information services. There was one just decided a few weeks ago in the 8th Circuit, Charter Advanced Services (MN), LLC v. Lange [1]."

Interesting. This is not my area of legal expertise (i'm also way too lazy to read the 1996 act), but that looks like it would be a possibly winning approach if a bunch of courts have already accepted the pre-emption argument for Title I.

However, one important difference between this suit and those is that in those, the court agreed the FCC had the authority to regulate under Title I, and was choosing not to, explicitly pre-empting that set of state regulations.

See https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=745168854586066...

Here, the DC circuit has decided in the past that the FCC has no authority to regulate net neutrality under Title I.

They could not actually regulate Net Neutrality under Title I if they wanted to.
I'd argue that this is one of those rulings that any sane person would think is in error; it's effectively the result of "modernization" of our government through the court system. Federalism is (for better or for worse) just not the way any modern democracy is run. We've stepped quite cleanly away from localization of powers to join other modern countries, and stepped away from strict construction of constitutional provisions in the process. Is this a problem? Maybe.
It's unfortunately probably the case that these things have been feeding into each other. Some doctors charge more -> college's can justify higher tuition because people think doctors now make more -> now new doctors NEED to charge more to tuition debt and to get the benefits they were sold on. Rinse and repeat.
This narrative is bad, as it reflects both a misunderstanding of the Republican perspective and a misunderstanding of the federal system at work in the US; each undermining your likely well intentioned concerns about the overturning of federal NN regulations.

> temptation to make it more intellectually stimulating probably becomes pretty high.

This is not OK when you have made promises to people who expect a product. This guy took advantage of those people, and it's incredibly sad. I don't know how they kept on doing this for 6 years without reassessing if their approach was really the correct approach. I can't fathom that in 6 years, not one person raised their hand and asked "why the hell are we writing a game engine?".
I don't think that's correct. In Winforms and MFC every control is a Win32 window. As far as i know WPF has only one root window and then does all the drawing by itself on a canvas.
> What's the successor to the scientific paper and the scientific journal?

Why not just a kind of an article-centric social network where scientists would publish their articles and reference other articles, other scientists (and whoever who has found an article relevant to their practice or research) would write their comments, score the articles by various subjective parameters and mark experiments they have managed or failed to replicate? Of course, there is to be moderation to fight junk comments and a way to weight the things that affect the ratings by the reputation of who contributes these.

If I were a scientist I would rather publish my research on my own blog if this didn't mean almost nobody is going to find it and take it seriously. Back in the days, there were no blogs people all over the world could view and that's why we needed journals. I believe journals would not even emerge otherwise. If the Internet was somehow available since the earliest days scientists would probably just upload their works there and care no more (but to receive feedback perhaps).
Only to the extent that they can lobby Congress like anyone else. I don't think the AMA has done any lobbying lately against expanding residency funding.
If only NYC got to keep all that money. NYC is part of NY State so the money largely lines the state coffers where it is used for pork-barrel projects in far flung places most NYC residents will never even visit.

The state is very enthusiastic about taking the money out of the city but not so interested in investing much back into any transportation infrastructure to support its' cash cow.

Norman Mailer once ran for Mayor of NYC and part of his platform was for NYC to secede from NY State:

'New York City would be split off from the rest of New York State, and achieve independent statehood as the 51st State of the U.S. The campaign sought to free the city from the control of "upstate legislators who don't care about the city but control our schools, police, housing, and money."'[1]

And perhaps more topical is that part of that platform was also to ban all cars from Manhattan except Taxis and buses. And this was in 1969 :)

It's really interesting to see how broken Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Wii are compared to Mario Kart Double Dash. MKDD has only two out-of-bounds glitches that I know of; one on Waluigi Stadium and one on Bowser's Castle.

The Waluigi Stadium one is quite easy, requiring you to ramp off of a while at the right angle getting you high enough to enter the OOB zone for a later part of the track.

The Bowser's Castle OOB requires you to be hit with a blue shell right after the finish line, so it can't be used in time trials. The world record manages to get hit twice, and it's pretty nuts[1].

> How do you think the national road network was built in the first place?

part of the justification for building it was national defense.
There is so much emphasis placed on precedent in the US justice system and I don't understand why.

With that line of argument I could also argue anything you do or say within the confines of your house is also public's business because it affects the public ultimately one way or another.
I lived in heavy pollution this summer due to forrest fires. I bought N95s and wore them walking around town. Totally annoying, looked weird although I wasn't the only one doing it, sweaty, but they did help.

The one thing I realized quickly was that I could not take the mask off without completely f-ing up the sterile field created by the mask. Outside of the mask smeared all over my face, outside of the mask hitting me in the eye as my glasses got hung up, etc.

If you can't doff an N95 correctly, keeping the exterior of the mask from your hand, facial skin, and mucous membranes, they won't actually block anything viral or bacterial.

Gave me a whole additional level of appreciation for the doctors and medical professionals working with Ebola patients couple years back and a greater understanding of why they fell ill despite what seemed to be bulletproof PPE.

Yes, I've watched a few long form video reviews of the ML One, and I've generally been impressed with what I've seen in the videos. The reviewers have generally seemed impressed as well. They usually say it could use a bit of work before being unleashed to consumers, and that it's a long way from fulfilling all of AR's potential, but being that it's explictly a dev kit of a V1 of potentially a whole new industry, I think that's all acceptable.

This reviewer has clearly had an axe to grind with ML's claims for years, and this is a continuation of that.

EDIT: that doesn't seem like the same comment I replied to, did you significantly expand it?

There are no doubt better methods if you have scads of money. If you don't, a bathtub and big pot on the stove, plus blankets, can readily get you there for cheap.

Not really. The market is large and fairly mature, it's doing fine and continuing to grow. The video game crash is titled that for a reason, the market shrunk by 97% in a short period.

There are a large number of amateur creators who are trying to win the lottery (either from a fame or monetary perspective), and most won't and will see little recognition and remain obscure or very niche.

This is seen in basically every area of media. Music, books, movies, etc and is perfectly normal.
Did you try running the build script and working directly in “out/“? I doubt it would have been easier. Big projects simply take time to learn and contribute to, TypeScript or not.

Actually, I’d say VS Code would be much harder to contribute to without TS. You mentioned adding a setting. This requires touching several different methods (parsing, cleansing, etc.). With TypeScript, the compiler instantly tells you when you have forgotten to implement a part of the setting pipeline. With JS, the runtime gives you some “undefined is not a blah” error to track down.
On iPhone you have an iMessage acccount which is tied to the phone number. It can be done on the device, so it probably is.

Applying continuous pressure on solid hydrogen is equivalent to keeping the ice cool to prevent melting. On earth, I suppose, solid hydrogen would melt, boil and slowly evaporate without external pressure, if not furiously explode when mixing with oxygen. The better questions are, does it take less pressure to keep hydrogen solid than continuously and literally crushing it? Besides that, how do you keep solid hydrogen under pressure from all directions at once?
Upvoted you both.

I think this should be the key takeaway: it shouldn't be us vs them. Decent people exist on both sides, but they don't seem to run the show on either side :-/
Unlike CoffeeScript, you can't have any technical debt with TypeScript, if one day TypeScript disapears, you just remove the types and you have a perfectly working JS file.

I share your view. I am generally a backend developer, I spent a lot of time with Angular(2+), recently started a project with react and also looked at Vue. so my time spent on Angular > React > Vue. If I have to choose a framework for a new project I would definitely choose between Angular and Vue, I won't write react unless I am paid. It is just verbose and ugly, no magic.

Microsoft suspends development of touch-friendly Office apps for Windows
I wonder if a discussion around Spanish Flu should also include the 1956-58 Asian Flu as well as the 1968-69 Hong Kong Flu?

Would the much more open travel of today, compared to the far more closed international travel of yesterday have had a significant impact on virality and mortality of those two more recent pandemics?

I’ve sat in on a meeting in the post Tamiflu/bird flu scare environment that provided a macro view of the challenges facing a small country like New Zealand.

My thoughts are that a financial hedge against a pandemic might include:

Going “long” tele-presence such as Zoom, Skype, etc as well as streaming entertainment.

Going “short” passenger airlines, lifestyle retail, and shopping mall REITs.

As far as global/macro risks go, pandemic is top of mind for me.

I perceive pandemic as a lower risk and likelihood than another global financial shock.

But I view them both as ultimately inevitable.

It’s just a question of severity for both.

But Imthinkmthe difference is that another GFC would not precipitate a pandemic.

But a pandemic could precipitate a GFC.
The Third Industrial Revolution – A Decentralized Distributed Economy
The net neutrality debate is about the repeal of fedral rules rather than adding an additional law. Thus a state's right to set their own rules applies. There is no fedral law to make ISPs behave in a certain way, just the lack of one, so the states should be able to set their own rules in cases like this as long as they are not unconstitutional.

States' rights do not apply in the opposite case when a fedral rule is made and the states don't want to enforce it or have a law that contradicts it. Their laws can't undermine the fedral law.

Hope that's helpful for your understanding of why this is different to the normal "states' rights" argument which is invoked when a state wants to avoid fedral rules.
Coffeescript - like Typescript - is a non-language. There are no native VMs for either. They have to be transpiled to work. If you're writing in either language, you're basically using large DSL macros which pump out JavaScript. Think PHP for scripting.

J2EE wasn't just a framework, it was core enhancements to the Java language, which caused a ton of bloat. EJBs, JSF, annotations, XML configurations, etc. Very similar to Typescript's bloat it adds on top of JavaScript. (You can't argue that it's not all bloat, as the resulting JS it produces runs fine without it all.)
With all the bits that have lived in there since Win95, I suspect it is something of a Lovecraftian horror.
I haven’t looked closely at game engines. Is it possible to write the game at the level of abstraction you want, then write a translation layer into various game engines? Or do these game engines tend to creep into all of your code, preventing you from decoupling your game from the engine? If this were possible then you could prototype the game using a game engine to get a “MVP” and if you aren’t satisfied, swap out portions of the engine with custom code.
Instead of just saying wrong, say why this opinion is wrong. Otherwise you come as smug and looking down or manipulative and trying to steer the conversation.
Thanks for mentioning, I wasn't aware of it. Looks a great alternative to Google Maps
I mean "transparent to the OS" in reference to operating system tooling rather than the kernel objects that make up containers (there is an argument that these are related concepts -- but I think we can have cohesive tooling without redesigning how Linux handles containers). The lack of a 'struct container_t' in Linux definitely makes containers quite complicated to set up, and is a constant source of pain. But this also allows for lots of flexibility with different userspace programs to use various subsets of containers as part of their operation (the Chrome sandbox is a good example of this).

> The is opposed to the container root fs that you call "opaque", supposedly because it cannot be easily mounted from the host OS etc.

Well, you can mount it and you can manually funge with it using 'nsenter' but that's not really ideal. Why (from the perspective of a user) can't you run a package upgrade across your containers? Why can't you get the free memory across all containers? Free disk space? And so on. This information is _available_ but it's not cohesive for _users_.

> VMs on the other hand are in that respect – in a similar way Solaris zones and Jails are

I agree that Solaris Zones and FreeBSD Jails are transparent (in fact that level of tooling transparency is what I wish we had on Linux). I don't agree that VMs are transparent in the same way -- they are an opaque DRAM blob from the perspective of the host kernel. You can dtrace zones/jails, you cannot dtrace a VM (and get meaningful results about what the guest kernel is doing) AFAIK.
I mean, just look at what a joke No Man's Sky was, and realize that they had way more funding and many more people working on it at various points.
The danger of TaskCompletionSource class
In general, that is true. I should have been more specific:

> We now have enough people with skills, experience, tools, and free time necessary to produce a quality indie game and a desire to make one, that the market price is far below the cost of production, and rapidly approaching zero.

Where "free time" is that not used up by work that pays for food etc.

Which does mean that people for whom art is a hobby are destroying the market the people for whom art is all they want to do, except for truly great artists where the quality of the art is so exemplary that hobby artists just can't compete.

But I'm not sure why it's a bad thing in and of itself - nobody has a fundamental right to earn a living by performing some specific activity and no other. The job market defines what activities translate to paid jobs, and which ones can only be hobbies, and that is going to change over time. At the point of a true post-scarcity, everything becomes a hobby, but it doesn't matter because you no longer need a job.
Big changes that come so sudden are disasters in the real world where people don’t adopt new things a lightning speed or for free.

If you spend money upgrading your employees from whatever mvc to angular1 and then have to do the same thing a few years later, you’ll be pissed.

If you have to take time out to learn a new framework every two years, just because. You’d be pissed.

And you have to keep in mind that angular was meant for ebpnterprise, not young indies who change their frameworks more often than I change my pants, so that made it extra terrible. I mean, there is a reason COBOL is still a thing, enterprise doesn’t like change.

I guess you could have kept going with angular1, but how would you hire for something that only lived s few years? Nobody knows it.

I think Microsoft is in danger of going this route as well with all the changes they are doing to .net though, so it’s a general trend these days, by my god, it sucks.

.. Which does nothing against a backdated article. What stops me from copying a NYT article and posting it to the blockchain a few hours after, claiming it's mine?

What makes the bitcoin blockchain good for this? The bitcoin blockchain is good for posting transactions within the bitcoin network and kind of a shitty solution for "a generic blockchain"

Why a blockchain at all? Why not just a merkle tree? Surely there is somewhere better than the bitcoin blockchain for this. CT logging isn't done on the bitcoin blockchain for a reason.

So sure, you can prove that something wasn't created after the date of the transaction (assuming you're using a CS hashing function), but for this to work in this specific context, you'd need every publisher to be posting transactions to this log.

If I post an article and post a hash to $genericBlockchainWhichIsReallyJustAMerkleTree, what prevents someone from copying, backdating, and saying that I copied them? That they didn't post to the log as well?
But if a liberal makes a joke abut southern rednecks than they get all indignant about how elitist and offensive they are. So tiresome.
> Using Typescript makes this a lot harder.

Does it? I think type annotations makes it easier. It means you don't need to think less hard, which makes unknown code, which is always harder to read, a bit easier to read.

There are no "autonomous class" cars, so that is complete and utter marketing wank, doesn't even belong in the title of a fluff piece. I'm sure it's a nice chip, but a processor tuned to run vaporware is tuned for a guess.

I haven't done gamedev in a long time, but there's an old saying the community: you either make a game engine or you make a game --- not both.
Indeed, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. I'm also of the opinion Republicans tend to champion states' rights only when they agree with the expected result. For instance, you'd think states' rights advocates would be in favor of eliminating the federal marijuana criminalization and leaving that up to states to decide (as they have already been doing in spite). And yet Republicans insist this is the sole domain of the federal government. Whereas when it comes to abortion, it's states' rights all the way down. As for NN? I've definitely heard the Republicans citing overreach wrt. to NN (although that might be solely within the FCC?), and yet when states try to regulate, it's the FCC domain again.

My personal opinion is that this should be the sole jurisdiction of the FCC as the internet is the very definition of interstate commerce and as such wholly the domain of the federal government. While it should be up to the FCC, the leadership is willfully disinterested in doing its job, as much of the Trump administration is, effectively forcing the hand of the states.
I agree that would be a potential solution but it's too far removed from reality to even be a consideration imo.

You'd need some sort of negative affirmation as well. "when I published this article, searching for it yielded nothing" signed by a trusted party would be a stronger statement. But no clue how you actually do that.
Instead of making a game for some category on Steam and hoping it sells enough in the first month before sales drop off, I wonder if it could work to make a super-super niche game where the goal would be to rank for a Google search term instead.

You'd try to be very long-lived, steadily selling for years, say just a few copies a week. All traffic would come from people who have some incredibly niche interest they are searching for, say baptism planners discovering your "baptism planner simulator 2000".

If you continued to make games like these say one per month or two, it might be possible to gradually build up a liveable income from them.
Your response to blatant hypocrisy is really just saying it doesn't matter right now?
