High speed most certainly is a human right. The internet is now a necessary feature of everyone’s personal and professional life.

It should be a human right and if governments were smart they would blanket their countries with free high speed for the masses.

Instead we contend with the likes of Verizon and ATT whose profit motives are at odds with the core principles of a free and open internet.

Yes, and the industry stagnated for decades.

I just don't do delivery. I don't know why, it's always rubbed me the wrong way.

IMO, if I'm lazy I'd rather just go out or pull something out of the freezer. I've always lived close to something that I can walk to, who will take care of all of the cleanup for the same cost as delivery.

Even living in a rather rural area, I can still walk to four restaurants, three of which are exceptional. In addition, I can walk to three ice cream places and one seasonal food truck.
There is an autocorrect feature and it's even described in the article. Or you mean something else?
That’s not very nuanced.

A big Finnish government is different than, say, a big Russian government.

To me it seems like saying: I fundamentally disagree with dining out because it requires restaurant, and restaurant is always bad.
Still in litigation.
Again you can make up any scenario you want. You have no evidence that that is what actually would happen, because it didn't happen.

Even if it did, I don't see the problem. People have the right to protest and say what they want about the Linux Foundation.
I live in rural USA. State boundaries do bring our town together with the major city in our state, the problem is their voice drowns ours out. Wouldn’t more people be represented if we started splitting up states? Wouldn’t we all be better off from less monopolized regions?

well knowledge/information is dimensionless so we ll have to add something with dimensions of Power to balance, let's say (your weight) * (height^2) / (Time^3) . (because, why not)

And Time is Money so you 're looking to maximize Money = (Your height) * Sqrt( Knowledge * Weight / Work) .

Note how knowledge doesn't matter that much. Be tall, fat and lazy.

I will probably do the same - I tried using the last release (Juno) as a daily driver and found it to be a little more effort than stock Ubuntu (mostly around getting PPAs going, Flatpak support may make that less necessary). I suppose the obvious competitor at this point for "beautiful Ubuntu derivative" is Deepin[1] but I found it to be even more difficult to configure and install stuff on.

> there's a lot of people who seem to operate on the presumption that in the long term, their side is going to have complete control of the government indefinitely

... and who are willing to alter the rules to make sure that, once they get power, it will be easier for them to continue to have complete control indefinitely. And why? Because they are certain of the rightness of their ideas, and therefore if the people vote against them, it can only be because the people have been lead astray by lies and propaganda.

Such people deserve, at a minimum, our profound suspicion.

So how competitive is someone all other things being equal who hasn’t kept up with technology as someone who has?

Your first example is perfect and flatly contradicts your second.

Opposition to a political opinion, is itself, a political opinion.

What you're asking is that your political opinion be the only one that gets Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Association, Freedom of Speech etc. Because you are explicitly asking that people with opposing political opinions not be given rights of Freedom of Expression and Association.

>Why do you think removing the monopoly of private companies such as Comcast is not “substance”?

I don't, and I never said that; I said that reddit comments tend to lack substance, and I think the examples show that. Only one of them even mentions the word "Monopoly" (local oligarchies would be more accurate), and it's a very simple, short statement. The rest are complete throwaways.

Look, your response to me was vastly better than any of those. There's no discussion of pros and cons, potential roadblocks, or the complexities of such a large plan. It's just "Bernie is awesome, down with the corporations!". If you disagree, in any way, your labeled a corporate bootlicker. /r/politics is a cult. I didn't come out of that thread having learned anything. I didn't even see a mention of any specific details of the plan in the ~10 top comments I read.

How you can equate that with what you see in the comments here is beyond me.

As stated I choose the liberty of everyone to use free software regardless of intent.

It's become quite popular to say that being ok with the status quo is a political position. And while I couldn't disagree more, I've always believed in free software and I'll proudly stand by that status quo as my political position if that's how others want to view it.
I recently (4 or 5 months ago) joined an online community of aircraft owners and pilots that is primarily focused around a single brand of aircraft (although it's not an official site of, property of, that brand nor is it endorsed by that brand).

When I signed up, they emailed me to welcome me to the site (they actually require manual authorization of users by an admin, which is... refreshing, but uncommon). The email ended by stating that if I lost my password, they could "recover it" and send it back to me.

I raised a thread about it in one of their off-topic sections, and got harassed - "How secure do you need your browsing to be?" (And hey, I mean, I was asking them to do more work)

But it stands out that most of the public doesn't know, and doesn't care to know. Even a site that's populated by people with net worths and/or incomes that average in the six-to-seven figure range, that they probably signed up for with the same email address and password that they use for their bank and brokerage accounts.

HTTP should come with a warning. Furthermore, it would be fan-fucking-tastic if there was some generalizable way to (automatically) audit a website's security practice. Like, a crawler that just runs standard OWASP-style attack-vector checks, and sends an email to the site's owners when one succeeds. And then put that data into a database and warn users (with a browser plugin) when they are creating credentials for sites with bad security.
You just typed a bunch of words into a text box. Did you think, as you were typing, that it didn't matter what you typed because your speech would have no effect? Or did you think that your words might convince someone to change their actions/opinions?
Maybe trust wasn't the best word. Most marketplaces where you can sell a website has an option to link your GA account directly to the sales page, showing the site stats directly on the page. No other stat program is offered this option.

Abstract: The present specification describes systems and methods for filtering a video game user's match performance data or loadout data through validation mechanisms. For the performance data, the validated, signed performance data are written to a leaderboard service of the video gaming system. For the loadout data, the validated, signed performance loadout data are transmitted back to the client device and used when playing a game. Free computing and/or networking resources of the client game device are used as an intermediate between the client devices, validation services, and/or leaderboard services.
Indeed, using the (query -> result) mapping in their 'Human Web' logs, from other search engines, is a roundabout way of copying both the simple word-to-doc-index, and the complicated ranking logic, of other search engines.

A sufficiently strict intellectual-property regime might find this a copyright violation. But without any inside info, I strongly suspect Google & other incumbents already do similarly-indirect modeling of their competitors' behavior, via extensive query/click-trail mining, in ways that ultimately feed into improvements of their own systems. So, they might not want to press the issue.

Still, this creates a dependency on the competitor you were hoping to displace, where most of your earlier values comes from "drafting" in the easy-path they've already cleared.
I have encountered indentation problem in Python far way often than the problem with a misplaced paren in any Lisp. It is very rare and every editor/compiler/linter has ways to detect that and help you fix it.

Readability is indeed subjective. Few years ago I myself would strongly oppose my own words about Lisp being readable. Several years ago even plain English was pretty much unreadable for me. I guess it's a good thing I haven't dismissed it, otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation :)
In my view the divide is more subtle, something like the enlightened vs. the unenlightened. The general fallacy is that all poor people can rise to riches. But in reality only the "enlightened poor" are capable of doing this. The enlightened poor come from lineages that don't focus on money but maintain high standards for knowledge and ethics. The potential to rise is there. The unenlightened poor have fallen into vicious generational cycles where incapable parents breed incapable parents, simply because it's beyond their ability to see outside their box. To me, if there's any meaning to "social welfare", it's to break these cycles that breed incapable adults but there's little being done. Even Bernie, who makes a big fuss about education, is focusing on putting more kids in college. But by that time, for many people, it's way too late.
Correct. I should have been explicit about the technique I had in mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell-free_fetal_DNA

AFAIU, if the non-invasive tests turn up positive doctors may recommend (and patients may prefer) amniocentesis for confirmation.

I just find it interesting that California would so quickly embrace such new technology. I think it became required about a year or so after the tests hit the market, even before they became widely known (obv still not widely known). But given the rising costs of healthcare, and the incredible amount of public money spent on developmentally disabled individuals[1], it makes alot of sense. For similar reasons, California has had for many years mandatory blood lead testing for all children living in pre-1978 housing. (I think in most states blood lead testing is only mandated through Federal Medicaid regulations, which require testing for child Medicaid recipients.) California's housing and population explosion coincided with peak consumption of leaded paint and leaded gasoline, so California has a uniquely acute lead problem.

[1] California has very generous educational programs for the disabled (generous relative to most states), partially as a result of state-based constitutional precedent. By generous I mean a ton of money is spent as a fraction of overall expenditures, relative to most (all?) other states. This is a smallish part of why in-classroom expenditures seem meager relative to other states. Many parents, OTOH, likely have lesser opinions about how generous the programs really are. But school-based speech and physical therapists, for example, can make a very decent living in California, even in the Bay Area. Better to work through a private contracting firm; working directly for the school districts tends to pay less, though benefits are better. I know at least one serial entrepreneur who started, built-up, and sold two school-based therapy contracting firms, and has already started a third.

I agree using Westmere isn't necessarily the best approach, but there is no difference in this case with either -march=native or -march=znver1.

The loop is small and simple, with only 9 instructions and compiles more or less the same regardless of march setting (I observed some basically no-op changes such as a mov and blsr swapping places). Here's the assembly (for the second test, with the bigger IPC gap):

The constitution ONLY enumerates the power to the federal government to establish post offices and post roads. Period. Thomas Jefferson didn't even want a postal clause in the constitution to begin with because he thought it would be a massive waste of money. Spoiler: he was right.

If Bernie Sanders wants to make such a vast proposal he should do it the legal way and propose a constitutional amendment. Of course, he knows that will never happen so he'll just unconstitutionally let congress force it through if he wants.

Of course, it's all talk now because he's not the president.

If people want government high speed internet so bad they should be lobbying their STATE government because that is where the power in the constitution lies.
Laws always vary depending on who's in power and what social and political will exists. The can of worms was opened the minute someone said "The state/community should get to make decisions about what you can and cannot do."

Now, it's harder to make those calls for indirect effects, and I definitely believe we should be more careful about it. You're totally correct about the danger. But that doesn't mean we don't have the discussions, as long as we're aware of the risks.

> I guess I'm thinking that the primary purpose of a company is to make money - and the primary way in which this leads to social utility is through taxes.

The social utility of making money lies in the fact that in order to persuade people to give you money you have to satisfy their wants and needs. Taxation has nothing to do with it.

The social utility of taxation lies entirely in the proposition that the government can better decide how that money should be spent than the people that earned it. It is unclear that this "utility" is actually positive when considering the system as a whole. (The proceeds of theft obviously benefit the thief, but when you consider the cost to the victim as well it turns out to be a net loss.)
