As someone who comes from a country where monthly data caps for home internet are completely unheard of and it's standard to have internet with download speeds between 5 and 10 MB/s for roughly $20/month since circa 2006, I find it both puzzling and worrying that capped home broadband can still exist in any developed country, especially with such tiny limits and ridiculous prices that some of the posters here have mentioned.

A game can easily get up to 50 GB these days, and a even a single patch can be up to a few GB as well. I can't even begin to imagine how any sort of work gets done with something like a 500Gb monthly limit in anything above a single person household.

Depends on the org. For some companies, you could drop a few USB devices in the parking lot and they'd be toast. Others fill the USB ports on their computers with epoxy.
I'm not so sure that's true. You could say "Owning a car is a luxury" but most parts of America seem to make that a necessity and it's an awful burden for many people.

If you don't have the time or skill to cook, you will find it tough to find the time to learn to cook. A lot of Americans are very time stressed.
They aren't making that claim though.

They are just doing simple back of the envelope math using their current metrics, but in word form.

Nah, but "best seller author" to me refers to somewhat like "sold 100k copies" and not like "sold better than the others in a bad month". It's just a detail in the end.

Recessions aren't some magical part of economies that are required to happen every so often. As freddie_mercury pointed out yesterday [0], Australia, has gone 27 years without a recession, Japan had no recession from 1961-1993 (32 years), and the Netherlands had no recession from 1981-2008 (27 years).

>The story is that someone close to the situation leaked details in violation of HIPPA on an internet message board.

>And from a correctional facility, no less. The whole thing is a mess.

I don't really see the problem here. You can't expect adherence to the law, or even upholding of basic human rights, from a correctional facility in America. Just look at how migrants have been treated lately in "detention centers" (concentration camps).

As the other responder said, prison rape is treated as a hilarious joke in the US, and is condoned by correctional staff, so why would you expect adherence to HIPAA?

Thats is the only reason not counting infrastructure, storage, peak-usage logistics, winter-usage logistics. Oh, and the fact that weather is temperamental, not consistent, not under our control at all, or able to change to meet our demand.

Oil and Gas already has infrastructure, and solves literally every one of those other issue due to the fact it can ramp up quickly if necessary.

If renewable advocates actually cared about something besides being anti-oil, they would see that the best renewable strategy is something to the effect of 70-80% nuclear, and 20-30% wind/solar/hydro with efficient storage options.

> I wish this discussion could move on from this unfortunate, but minor semantic point to the substance

It may be a minor semantic point to you, but it's half of what makes the headline a low-effort clickbait as typical for the "Zeit" since it goes against all common sense and why people take offense. The other half is the obvious flaw in the study, also typical for low-quality research that results in such left-populist articles, of asking people sensitive questions about their income (and perhaps wealth) and expecting valid responses.

I wish we would move on to debating why this kind of trashy content gets so much attention and why certain people just crave for it to be published.
It reminds me of Canopy from the Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space book series.
I can't blame Youtube, or any social media here at all. The enemy here is ignorance which is the root enabler for spreading this garbage. The only way to fix that is via education. Good luck. A well educated populace that thinks for itself is less profitable because you can't sell them a line of bullshit. And you wonder why education budgets are under attack.

Another issue is how we humans emotionally relate education with self worth in society. Ignorant people don't like to be called ignorant. Educated people telling them they need to be smarter is insulting. So there is a tendency to distrust educated people because the ignorant persons perception is that educated people think they are bad or broken and need to be fixed. If they don't feel bad or broken then there must be something more to this, why are we being manipulated... (conspiracy can then take over)

So perhaps we should rethink how to approach the problem and realize that ignorant impressionable people are a given. Instead of trying to fight propaganda with education we should disguise education as easy to digest propaganda. Don't fight fiction with facts because you're always going to lose. Just start your own propaganda machine and hope you can out smart the stupid. Sure it's manipulation but how much longer can educated people stay righteous while the world is being burned down around them by the ignorant?
I wonder why HNers are upset over this. Is this purely a framing issue? In other words, if the status quo is

Would people be happy with

or what about

$80/month†; †pricing includes $50 discount for staying within 1TB
You mean the sizing of solar panels? I think in Germany it's higher, at least my landlord spoke about something like 25 kW, but I'm not totally sure about that.
Yeah I’m aware of that, but it was flagged before there was much discussion at all. I would have thought that flagged stories with dozens of upvotes would be looked at by a mod. And given the lack of objectionable comments, I’d have expected the flag to be removed in this case.

Regardless, glad to see this submission gaining steam and generating civil discussion as well.

Yes, much like Uber, Lyft, Tesla, Blue Apron and on and on, consumers love products priced far below their actual costs.
Apple is never a central example.

If your iPhone breaks and can't be repaired and you want another one, you have to buy a new one from Apple, because Samsung doesn't make iOS devices. Meanwhile the fact that old iPhones get minor damage and then cost more to repair than they're worth increases the "I can afford an iPhone" signaling value of having one because they become less common and cost more to maintain in a state of good repair. In other words, it's a Veblen good.

That doesn't work for commodity markets like Android devices and PC laptops because it's all fungible commodity hardware and it all runs the same software. And then even if the user has no idea what "pentalobe screws" are, they do know that their laptop broke after the first year and all the repair shops told them it was unrepairable junk and recommended a different brand.

Meanwhile even Apple is playing a dangerous game here, because eroding repairability increases their new sales in the short term, but it also damages their reputation with technical people over time. So you get more sales, but more of the sales are to douchy investment bankers who then stand around holding your logo in their hand while telling girls they're fat and firing people's dads and bloviating about how much better they are than you because they drive a BMW.

And on top of that, there is a trade off between more sales and more users. When your platform's devices don't last as long you may get more sales, but it lowers your installed base because the devices fall out of it faster. The fact that a used iPhone is more than a new Android phone pushes more people away from your platform. But the number and quality of the apps people make for your platform is proportional to your installed base. This is how Windows got so sticky on the desktop -- it's Office, but it's also the long tail. That line of business app which is only used by 2% of people except that there are sixty of them and they're each mostly a different 2% of people, so 90% of people need Windows. Apple has a long-term problem if that's what accumulates over time with Android, but it's a direct trade off against short-term exclusivity.
It's literally what every mass retailer does. CVS, Walmart, etc will use their power to decide your shelfspace/merchandising, combined with private label products and a pipeline of new branded products in your category (e.g. ever wonder why so many new jerky brands pop up and disappear overnight?), to put downward price pressure on you until your margins are razor-thin. This isn't that different. Anyone who has worked in/adjacent to retail understands how cutthroat the industry can be.

Retailers also force suppliers to buy advertising in their owned media channels (e.g. in-store and online) as another way to squeeze them. Amazon is doing/will do the same.

My point was that if we (the solar system) were travelling as a considerable portion of the speed of light, then we would experience time dilation, which would significantly affect our observations of the external universe.

We're not.

So... it's fine.

I mean, you're basically right; speed isn't absolute, and it's wrong to refer to your speed relative to the CMBR as 'absolute'.

...but, well... I think it's fair to say 'The speed of light is constant in all frames of reference, so why [insert question here]...' is a very fair, and common question. 'Everything is relative' isn't an answer, it's just a platitude.

Are they a hospital or a covered entity. I don't think HIPAA would apply to a federal lockup. Also death certificates are not covered by HIPAA and can't prevent the release of them. Even if this isn't a death certificate. If anything shady happened it wasn't a hipaa violation. It can still be shady, but not a hipaa violation.
I thought this as well.

Alternatively though, WeWork is an easy way for companies to reduce their expenses during a recession.

And more layoffs mean more people trying to be freelancers, and doing things on their own, which creates a greater need for coworking spaces.
A traditional helicopter had no redundancy either. The single motor could fail or a single blade. What’s the difference?

Are you serious? He's not being paid to drive around. He's being paid to go to auctions, analyze the price of things being sold in large quantities, and decide if there is a business opportunity to sell products in a different market. He then ends up with a large inventory that he must sell, otherwise he is stuck with unsold inventory (risk). He also has no guarantee that the aunction will be selling the same products the week after, so it seems like there is a scarcity risk as well (not having a homerun product to sell constantly)

This is what the retail business is.

I think the reality is that the word has two established meanings. One is the professional clinician meaning you describe here, and the other is the more popular meaning of "shy".

The bigger point is that when you try to communicate with people, if they're using the word as introvert(2), you're being a jerk if you're pretending they meant introvert(1), because that's the "correct" meaning.

(I used to work at planet, this is my recollection of what was the case then)

Usually, for ocean-sized bodies of water, we'd stop imaging entirely to reduce power load and align the solar panels with the sun. Effectively all of the ocean had nothing going on on the surface that we could image anyway.

When Planet gets the imagery, they have a fairly good sense of where it is, but it is still processed to get it to align with ground truth, which is called rectification and relies on matching visible features to known ground features. If the entire image is clouds, this can't work and they don't publish the image because they can't say exactly where it is. Also, there's not really usable information in that imagery I guess.

It's insane. All these 80s computers have silly fast response times, which put all modern machines to shame.

But, since arguably the Amiga is the only computer with a modern GUI and being super responsive, it really points out the absurdity of everything modern when you feel it.

It can't be gleaned from youtube videos, either. You must hold that damn old mouse in your hand and click something or drag a window. To the brain, there's zero latency. NOTHING. You ARE the computer. (I think that is one reason why it's so addictive, it's one of the truly cybernetic devices. My modern Mac comes close, but not quite. Scrolling on some phone apps come close.)

Internet is sort of naturally capped and throttled for almost all residential users. You already can't easily download something at 500 mbit, servers do not stay underutilized and may not have enough bandwidth for your speed, and servers from more than a couple of hops away won't even be able to serve you at that speed over a single tcp connection, so you have to look at things like torrents. Then home routers, they suck too and might struggle with this speed, wifi most definitely is out of question. You also need to store all that data somewhere and at that speed you will run out of storage pretty quickly. ISPs are aware of all this and can bravely offer you speeds you will not be able to use beyond speed testing. They even expect new customers to go crazy with downloads in first months of broadband usage and eventually drop their usage to normal levels. Keep in mind, something like 10 mbit 24/7 usually costs them very little to even care and I think these days 50 mbits is at that level too, they are unlikely to mind if 1 out of 1000 users uses 50 mbits 24/7.

HIPAA would cover healthcare in prison. It wouldn't cover, say, what prison guards can talk about.

They may have other rules that indicate this is inappropriate, but HIPAA covers specific institutions, such as hospitals, medical personnel generally and health insurance. It doesn't actually cover anyone who ever learned anything about your health for some reason.

Despite being from the west, I find Chinese and eastern philosophy in general pretty straight forward since they’re just talking about fundamental observations of the mind which are universal and can filter out the misunderstandings of the translators well enough I feel. Language aside, in the cases where it’s clear to me the translator doesn’t understand is normally when to comes to basic fundamental observations about the mind, it’s as though in the west there’s basically no knowledge of the mind itself, so I think the west would have an easier time with eastern texts after observing their minds a bit closer. Typically westerns confuse the mind with the biology of the brain and go off track that way. My observations at least.

Depending on the tax system, a wealthy person may have a lot of leeway in choosing the amount of investment income they’ll realize for tax purposes. So someone with $10 million in stock market investments may choose to withdraw none, or only a small part of the returns generated, placing them in the low income category.
