I agree.

While this would be a useful tool for the public, the representatives said public elected might not like the extra scrutiny. Thus, they slash budgets, put up roadblocks and erect other red-tape hindrances that make something like this difficult to implement.

One solution is putting into office people who support transparency in government.
While the answer would be no for most, it helps to have VCs and institutions that have a buy-in price similar to yours, essentially advocating to protect everyone's investment.

Those are both consumer ISPs, and thus not subject to the same market pressure as I described for Tier 1 ISPs (without naming them as such). Similarly, consumer divisions of Tier 1 ISPs are driven more by local market forces than anything else.

Not sure what you mean by "It’s equivalent to 3 mbps". Are you, like, streaming a video of an eagle nest 24/7?

You are paying for residential Internet service. The number of people who would legitimately need to transfer more than 1 TB per month over a residential Internet connection is vanishingly small. Bandwidth, particularly during high-demand hours, costs money. It is not fair for other users to subsidize your extreme usage scenario (since it is an axiom that all costs borne by the ISP are passed on to customers). It is far more fair that you, the extreme outlier, pays more.

If a stimulus is required (which it definitely will be when the next downturn hits, unless we want the worst depression in history), we'll be begging for inflation. But there will be massive deleveraging and the resulting deflation to compete with. All the while, there will be fools crying for austerity, and business men thinking a sovereign government with the power to issue currency should be run like a business (i.e. tightening the belt during a downturn).

There are going to be times (a few days or weeks) where sellers think they can "outlast" the competition in a price war.

You're basically betting that the other guy doesn't have the stamina to survive at this price.

Of course, if what the OP says is true, if the other seller has a much lower price point than you do, you can't outlast them. They could still be making a profit at $20 while you're losing $5 per unit trying to push them out.
Where do you live with those prices? I pay 37 USD for a uncapped 1000/100 Mbit connection in Denmark.
Unlimited has to be unlimited by law. After 10gb of usage a day, you need to text a number (for free) to get a few more gb, and so on. That's just there to prevent flooding the network too much.
From the article, it seems they're dealing with demand fluctuations of 1000-3000 MW within a given hour (2PM was the example), so I think it's really working on a totally different scale. Even 10x as many batteries wouldn't be able to smooth that load fluctuation.
"Instead of trying to fight propaganda with education we should disguise education as easy to digest propaganda."

How is this different from what we are already doing?

I do not just mean that as mindless snark. There's a selection effect, where children can only handle even more radically simplified versions of reality than even our feeble adult minds can handle, so by necessity, it's already been processed down to that level because nothing else would stick even a little. A common example is "The civil war was caused by slavery", which gets mocked, but it's not like there's any explanation you can fit into a middle-school textbook that isn't just as simplified and loaded with the biases of the simplifier. (Which themselves are the result of the bias-loaded simplifications that they were themselves fed....)

Yes they do. Austin Energy has the Rush Hour rebate program that precools your house before peak demand. It’s compatible with several programmable thermostats. It’s an opt-in program and you can override your thermostat if you want. Austin’s rates don’t change with demand, but they are tiered and increase the more electricity you use per month.

Estoy curado del virus del herpes.
Encontré un testimonio en youtube sobre una mujer que fue curada de herpes genital por el Dr. Ahmed Usman Herbal Medicine. Mostré el testimonio a mi prometida, quien me desanimó por contactar al médico. Pero debido a que estaba tan desesperado por curar el mío, contacté al Dr. Ahmed con el correo electrónico que encontré en el testimonio, que respondió minutos después y me preguntó el tipo de HSV que tengo. Después de mucha discusión, decidió llamarme para no sentir que es un estafador. Envió la medicina herbaria a mi país que tomé durante dos semanas con la receta médica. Las llagas en mi labio habían desaparecido y me sentía diferente. Así que fui a un chequeo y mi resultado salió negativo. Mi prometida se sorprendió y él también ordenó su medicina al Dr. Ahmed, que está tomando recientemente. Por favor, no dejes que nadie te desanime. No hay daño en intentarlo. Esta es la dirección de correo electrónico del doctor Ahmed Usman; drahmedusman5104@gmail.com o Whatsapp +2348064460510. Tiene cura para cualquier tipo de infección.

Well, that's what happens when labour is expensive. My friend's Amplifier broke in the UK, we got a few quotes for repairs but most places were asking for like £80-100 just to diagnose the issue. I happened to be driving back to my home country(Poland) at the time so I took the amplifier with me and had it fixed by a qualified repairman for £30 in parts + £20 in labour(the rate was an absolutely insane for Poland 50PLN(£10)/hour). Brought it back with me on the drive back.

I don't mean to be flippant but I really think you are over-egging this 'time and skill' thing based on people that simply chose not to cook because they could.

It's not correct to look at, say, a father who can just let the woman of the house be the homemaker, or a person who just buys take out all the time, and say "they don't have the time or skill". I know people like this. The former is especially prolific - they will go ahead and pretend they can't cook, make silly unhealthy meals, because they can't be arsed and know that wifey will sort it all out.

They have what they consider to be a substitute good and so they don't need to cook. They could rapidly develop the skill if they wished to. No, they won't be some gourmet chef, but making mashed potatoes and stews and salads and stuff like that basically requires knowing that you can boil things to cook them.

You could compare it to, say, a well off parent who has no idea how to raise children because they just pay for a nanny or whatever. If you forced the issue; they lost their job, say; they would learn because the alternative wouldn't bear thinking about.

It's a hell of a lot easier to buy a hob and some pans, than it is to move home. Cars are a far more difficult issue because there are homes in locations that are simply too isolated to function properly without the mobility a car provides.

(Amusingly, I'm in temporary accommodation at the moment - it would be completely impractical to live here without a car, but also without home cooking, because the nearest fast food place is... I don't even know, probably over 50km away.)
Re: the yield curve inverted in 2018 yet here we are.

There are somewhat different ways to measure it, and by some metrics, it merely "touched" the zero line instead of went below. Bloomberg may have been using a dramatic flair.

Also, when it does drop below zero, the actual recession was roughly 12 to 18 months later. Thus, that occurrence, even if interpreted as an inversion, is not (yet) inconsistent with past patterns.

I think you are right but it won't really hit until 2020 when the administration changes. One thing really helping drive this market is that indexes are driven by a few huge mammoth companies. Additionally, the tax law changes let them bring home tens of billions that they spent on buybacks to drive the price even higher. That was a one time event. Interest rates are already too low and the Fed still has too much paper. There isn't nearly as much powder in the gun this time around. I think this time will be worse than 2008 but time will tell.

Why have a cap at all? It doesn't cost any more to have equipment sending packets as it does to have the equipment idle.

The real world of data is generally billed at the 95th percentile of traffic consumption, usually with a commit to buy a certain amount of traffic. So you pay for a specific rate of data, the vendor provisions equipment to handle the agreed upon rate, and then you can do traffic at that rate forever. If you go over your rate, you talk to your vendor.

I don't know of any equipment whose natural operation is to handle a certain amount of traffic, then shut down until the next billing cycle comes around. Data caps are a measure invented to extract money, not serve customers or packets.

If the cable companies were worried about fairness, they'd really be speaking in terms of bandwidth reservations at peak times and encouraging use during off-peak hours, and similar things. They're not, it's just a money grab.
> When the yield between the 10-year and 2-year US treasury inverts, a recession is months away.

If by "months" you mean nearly two years.

"The last inversion of this part of the yield curve was in December 2005, two years before a recession brought on by the financial crisis hit."

"A recession occurs, on average, 22 months following such an inversion, according to Credit Suisse."

Powerpoint is great for assisting presentations, and like other posters in the thread have said, it's for assistance, and not the main source of information. Think pictures and very concise bullet points.

I know the consulting industry likes to abuse powerpoint by making 200+ slide decks that are clearly not meant to be presented but more used as printouts/deliverables. I question that PPT is the best format for that but nobody has come up with anything better that is as widely adopted.

>Externally it sounds more like the US just has shit infrastructure, sorry.

Sometimes I think Europeans have no real idea of how large the United States is. We have single states larger than several countries and single states with larger populations than several countries.

- Norway is 148,728 square miles with 5.258 million people.

- Sweden is 173,860 square miles with 9.995 million people.

- The United States land area is 3,531,905 square miles with 327.2 million people.

Of course we have a lower quality of infrastructure, 2 of our 50 states are individually larger than Sweden. California is larger than Norway with nearly 8 times the population

> Why does everything have to be “official”?

Because institutions, like the Bureau of Prison, Fortune 500 companies or your county school district, are responsible for how information is distilled to the public. That is why almost all are concerned about their image and invest heavily into public relations.

If people leaked information all the time from those institutions, then a certain level trust will be lost and could be detrimental.
Comcast, and effectively all US broadband providers, are massively underprovisioned for the quantity of service they've sold, because that was a good way to make a lot of money and because, until very recently, it was quite difficult for residential customers to actually use enough bandwidth for the underprovisioning to pose an issue. Now, with the advent of 4k streaming and similar popular consumer services that actually do require significant bandwidth, it's not surprising to see this sort of activity as a means of avoiding the need to provision backhaul equal to the promises these companies have made.
Everyone serious knew that a trade war would set a recession in motion, and that it would be a trade war the US would lose because of the directionality of the trade. The thought has always been that the president was using a high leverage negotiating strategy (see https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/for-trump-diplomacy..., for example) to extract maximal concessions from PRC. But in the end, most of the people involving in mid and long range investment decisions thought that they could model him as a rational actor. What we are seeing is the investment community's realization this might not be true. You can look for many recent examples of shifts in investment activity (https://www.autoblog.com/2019/08/13/ford-gm-preparing-for-ec...).
That's just the nature of the beast. As long as strong encryption without a backdoor is physically possible, people will use it online regardless of legality. The thought that we could regulate that effectively is laughable. Even if you take down every single project, it's already out there. Heck, it's built into Java, which is installed on "over 2 billion devices" or whatever... It's also built into pretty much every decent programming language out there (Rust, nim, go, crystal, others). Mirrors of old versions of those are everywhere, and tons of people already have them installed. This would be as pointless as deciding to censor all .pdf files. Hell even WinZip has AES built into it. This would require significantly more oppressive censorship and monitoring than even China is capable of.

And that's not even touching on SSH and HTTPS and GDPR complications.

If we don't laugh at and discredit the idiots pushing this, people are going to take them seriously and we will have to deal with the consequences.

Regarding companies (like facebook) that collude with the gov to bypass encryption with MITM snooping, we need to continue to expose them, and major players like Google and Apple need to actively disobey any orders from the gov, and send an army of lawyers at it, and I think that's what will happen.

Just as a counterpoint to some of the people talking about how they use far more than a terabyte per month:

I work fully remotely, video chat often, have someone else in the house watching netflix a lot. I stream music while working. I download large software packages often. 1TB is plenty for me.

A terabyte is a reasonable cap I think. If you want more, you can pay for unlimited data as described in the parent post.

Having an accounting 101 level of background (I'm sure there are a lot of good online resources to pick up accounting - the basics of accounting are way easier than the basics of computer science IMO)gets you like 90% of the way there to be able to skip down to the financial statements and the footnotes and get a decent sense of what the company looks like. Obviously you can go further and further in depth, and there are a lot of things specific to the IPO process that are good to know, but IMO knowing how to look through the accounting statements and read a balance sheet/income statement/statement of cashflows is the 20% of effort needed to get 80% of the insight you would want.
