I think it's only faulty because it's incomplete, but the demand side is a real factor. There are tons of discussions here and elsewhere trying to figure out how to "recreate Silicon Valley elsewhere" (which would theoretically spread the demand across a much larger area).
So what? A monopoly on something that is not a market anyway does not give the government the right to nationalize its interests.
Apologies - you're both right about the context and about the pricing.
Could someone explain the technical notability beyond what can be inferred from the Wikipedia page?

> An autonomous system (AS) is a collection of connected Internet Protocol (IP) routing prefixes under the control of one or more network operators on behalf of a single administrative entity or domain that presents a common, clearly defined routing policy to the internet.

> Originally the definition required control by a single entity, typically an Internet service provider (ISP) or a very large organization with independent connections to multiple networks.... The newer definition ...came into use because multiple organizations can run Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) using private AS numbers to an ISP that connects all those organizations to the internet. Even though there may be multiple autonomous systems supported by the ISP, the internet only sees the routing policy of the ISP. That ISP must have an officially registered autonomous system number (ASN).

> A unique ASN is allocated to each AS for use in BGP routing. ASNs are important because the ASN uniquely identifies each network on the Internet.

It should be decided by the market. If that can't happen because there is a oligopoly on social media, maybe we should be look at anti-trust suites breaking up large players

Public airwaves? This applied during the landline days and it had more to do with the idea of monopolies/utilites/trusts.

Either way, it debunks your point that non-government entities are all allowed to censor...

I'll blow your mind, but from a conservative perspective, it's Dems lying constantly. Both sides can pepper truth in with lies. The best solution is to think for yourself.

Being hyperbolic and screaming it'll save lives doesn't help win anyone over either, you'll have to try harder to trick people out of their freedoms.
That's like saying television networks are required to give you a show for your free speech. Social networks are private companies built for profit. For better or worse they should be able to censor anything that's not good for their business. Hell, you can't even post a nipple on Facebook.

> you won't be sharing with many people at any point in time.

That depends of the density of subscribers. Starlink is only feasible (at least with stable, high performance...) for low density areas. The stated market for Starlink is "the 3% to 4% of the hardest to reach customers for telcos." Almost no one reading this is part of that market.
To be fair, Linus has admitted to and shown himself capable of being an asshole, and the donglegate guys are people I would not want working with my sister.

You can be cynical and sarcastic without being personally abusive or a sexist troglodyte.

The "militant counter culture" you speak of definitely does exist. But codes of conduct didn't start appearing out of thin air, they exist because they need to exist. Anyone who doesn't recognise that is almost certainly coming from a place of oblivious privilege. (Hell, I admit to being obliviously privileged a lot of the time, and _I_ can see the very real need for codes of conduct to exist so that assholes and troglodytes can't continue saying "It's a joke, calm down", or "I'm just being blunt, you can't handle the truth" or all the other gaslighting bullshit they so often get away with...)
Jeffrey Skilling – Second Acts, Second Chances
Just today I saw an article that said the covid recession is over.

However...it appears that new infections have been rising again globally since May-ish. It looks to me like it is becoming exponential again, although the slope on a log scale is considerably less than the first time.

This is my interpretation of the charts at:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

...titled Daily New Cases and Daily Deaths.

Deaths still seem to be declining, but you would expect that to lag regardless.

There seems to be a pattern where the larger countries that weren't hit so hard at first are picking up as developed Europe gets things under control. For instance, India, Brazil, Russia, Pakistan etc.

And within the US, as NY and NJ have fewer new cases, Texas, California, Illinois, and Arizona are starting to take the lead. Over 90% of new cases are outside NY and NJ now.
What's interesting is that this sort of thing would only be useful in the looting context, best I can tell. Otherwise it's hard to know which devices specifically were stolen. So did they already have the system in place just for this kind of situation?
Slippery slope is a fallacy. You realize that these sites are choosing, on their own prerogative, to censor, if it becomes an especially burdensome part of their business they are free to stop.
This thread is already 8 hours old, but the advice should also be classified by how long the commenter has been using their methods.

A person who has a couple years (or less) organizing their files and folders is very different from someone who used their methods for 10+ years and didn't lose the data.

Speaking of losing data, having a working backup/restore strategy is a critical part of a workable organization method.

So this is something they're not very open about, but you'll learn the hard way. Years ago Hurricane Electric would setup settlement free peers to be downstream customers in order to inflate their IPv6 footprint. Years ago HE was trying really hard to be the largest IPv6 transit provider in terms of prefixes and ASNs behind them in order to get some of the larger networks to peer with them ("we have X percent of the IPv6 internet"). To their credit it actually worked with a few.

As for the goofy routing: if you were an IPv6 peer they'd announce you to their a large amount of their other peers (normally you don't announce peers to transit or peers - just to customers). This led to lots of sub-optimal routing scenarios and you'd have to ask them to knock it off and treat you like a real peer. So yeah cool you get free transit kinda, but the goofy routing isn't worth it for a lot of folks. This plus their long history of lack of filtering their transit customers and enabling lots of route hijacks really gave them a bad reputation. Their recent news about deploying RPKI is a bit of fake news: it's not real RPKI and doesn't address the issues with their customers.
Home sales are seasonal. They peak in the summer at over double the rate of the winter. This occurs in all regions of the US.

Your observation does not deviate notably from typical market behavior.
We are well past the point of being capable of recording all police interactions with video. If every police officer was forced to record all activity with body cams (that would be made public through some process) we could scrutinize and hold every interaction accountable by the laws that already exist. That wouldn’t solve everything immediately but I think over time every action would take place as if there was public oversight.

Even during these protests we have instances of people being shot by the police and conflicted recollections from both sides of the events that took place.

Record everything and hold everyone accountable for their own actions.
I don't think those industries need to collapse.

We should have fewer people making careers at unskilled jobs. Nobody can provide for a family comfortably doing that.

Instead, it should be a starting position; an entry into the workforce as you learn a trade, skills or gain knowledge.
that's not really a fair characterization because it was only a failure in reaching the goal of 100% conversion.

i don't know if that even was the goal because realistically that is hard to achieve.

all in all it was quite a success for a transition at that scale.

the rollback was entirety politically motivated, and would have happened even if the transition was 100%.

likewise the new announcement is a political change.
Daily deaths are decreasing while daily new cases are increasing. The areas where most of the new cases are being recorded are rapidly changing, and I think a lot of people aren't paying attention to that. In quite a short time, the western European countries are not at the top of the list of countries with the most new cases, and similarly within the US, NY and NJ are behind Texas, California, Illinois, etc.

Maybe deaths being down means something positive, but it also could be a lagging indicator to some extent. It could reflect different record-keeping in the areas that are becoming more prominent in new cases.

You are reading news on the internet and extrapolating to the entire USA. Yes, there is a real problem with police brutality here, no question. I am not a fan of the police in general. But we are not living in a wild-west hellscape where anything goes. The protests are necessary and so is reform, but these are the extreme cases in a country of 330mil people.

As I said before, that is not backed up by Supreme Court precedent. You need to cite your claims as to constitutionally-protected protests being synonymous with lawlessness. As I read the Constitution, any act determined to be protest by the courts is legal until found otherwise. Police decisions about lawlessness are only valid in a law-enforcement context, and such police determinations are only provisional, and are not exclusively binding; they can be superseded by higher authorities in the executive branch, and challenged by the public, legislature, and judiciary, on legal grounds as well as humanitarian grounds.

How is that even a controversial statement? It's a well known phenomenon in behavioral economics.

There was a story about how charging some nominal amount for a mosquito net led to more consistent usage and lower malarial rates, than if they just gave the net for free.

Why? Because the "price" of something is a signal as well. If it's free, who cares? If you paid something, well then it's yours and you should look after it.

This is great! I totally agree with the concept of just taking notes in sequence. Notes are a record of moments in your life. The act of taking notes quickly, without distraction, and moving on, is so important.

Organizing notes in any other way besides just a sequence (especially heirarchical folders, which is how most apps organize) gets cumbersome.

It becomes a combination of analysis paralyasis (which category best fits this note I'm about to take? What if it fits into multiple categories? Too bad, it can only live in one folder) and a quagmire of trying to keep the data organized and findable in the future.

It's a lot easier to just keep a log of every note and then add just enough tagging that you can find it later when you need it.

I was fed up with all the other note apps out there, and created one that accomplishes all the goals I have personally always wanted. Those goals are - make note creation front and center, work natively on every major platform, sync instantly to all my devices, and have a very powerful filtering and full-text search engine for retrieval.

Please sign up if you are interested, it is currently in alpha. https://notebrook.app (ALPHA2020) gets you started in the browser right away. Create an account and sync your notes anywhere (native apps on every platform will be available soon).

> It's a discussion we should all want to have to preserve our freedom of speech from being infringed on by these (very very few) social media companies.

Why? Twitter is not infringing on people's freedom of speech. Trump's comments are proof of that because he's continued to have a platform on the site. People keep saying that their being oppressed by the site they're using to say they're oppressed. No one is being oppressed by Twitter.

You take away 230(c) from Twitter and one of two things will happen:

- they'll cease to exist becase they will become legally liable for all content their users post
- they'll automate moderation much more aggressively and "censor" 10x times more than they do currently.

Also, it'll make it harder for competition to exist because the government will increase the burden on creating a site that hosts user generated content. It will be a contraction of speech online.

Really, if you're not happy with the moves these companeis are making, you should be advocating for more competition so you can switch to an alternative.
> Because the speed of light in a vacuum is 30% faster than in optical fiber, the latency of Starlink over long distances has the potential to be lower than any other option once laser links are available.

Not to mention the dramatic reduction of hops. My route from the USA east coast to the university of Melbourne in Australia[1] is 30 hops reported by traceroute, with at least as many switches in the way. You could make the same link with only a few satellites.

EDIT: 30 is actually just the default max hops in traceroute, its really 32 hops from me to Melbourne.
I thought the same and it seems obvious. Maybe it was politicised in the sense that they got caught pants down unprepared when even the medical staff didnt have masks, so certain actors or a whole chain of command who were to blame for the lack of supplies spined it out this way.
Or maybe it was simply a miscommumication in the cacophony of voice and messages that first came out.
ISP senior neteng here: It means they're starting to get serious about becoming their own facilities-based ISP at the most fundamental "core" level of the Internet. In this case the facilities will be their earth stations for trunk links to the starlink satellites, the satellites themselves, and their routers at major carrier-neutral interconnections points such as where the SIX is physically located.

A number of the earth station filing geographic coordinates, in public FCC documents, correlate with the known location of regen huts for north america's largest dark fiber/DWDM/transport carriers on intercity fiber paths. Such as Centurylink and Zayo. The typical thing to do in this case is that they'll be buying 'lit' circuits from carrier-of-carrier ISPs to reach those IX points.

I actually avoid mainstream Western media for news on China, as it frequently bends the truth in their favor, or fails to cover significant human rights abuses.

It’s the ISP equivalent of setting up stall at a wholesale market.

To exchange traffic, providers advertise the IP ranges they can route.

The starter pack for this consists of an AS number (which is fundamentally just a nominal integer identifier for your organisation), an interconnect (either to an internet exchange or a transit provider), and some address space to call your own.

The notability is commercial: StarLink is ready, or at least preparing, to negotiate peering with other providers. That’s a whole other ball game, c.f http://drpeering.net/white-papers/Art-Of-Peering-The-Peering....

There’s also a social angle. I’ve seen folks wearing their ASN like an agency windcheater. Network engineers are tribal.
His tone is perfectly OK, he isn't attacking anybody and simply expresses what he thinks is wrong with the patch.

In addition he also ends with:

I see nothing wrong with his reply, he's making his points without insulting anyone and is very composed compared to some reactions he had in the past.
Russia is currently third in the world with the
highest number of confirmed cases (over 400k), after USA and Brazil. Deaths data reported from Russia are even more questionable, given their disposition, early in epidemic, to fudge it on comorbidities.

As for the malaria drugs, these were not in routine use, at least not prior to the current epidemic. Moreover, recently Russia seems to place its bets on a Japanese broad-spectrum antiviral drug Favipiravir [1].

Although the economy is a complex system and it's dangerous to try to over-simplify, my personal opinion is that there are two main and intertwined causes:

1) the cost to participate in the US court system.

2) the abuse of copyright, patent, trademark, and contract[1] law to divorce workers from their experience and treat employee knowledge as company property.

The time and money involved in both pursuing and defending court cases favors larger entities with armies of lawyers and large war chests. Intellectual "property" cases take especially vast amounts of resources because of the fuzziness involved. Meanwhile, treating workers as fungible producers of ideas that can be bought and sold both reduces the bargaining power of individual workers while empowering companies that can amass large portfolios of patents, etc. to use in litigation.

Not sure about reforms for the court system, but patent and copyright reform, combined with restrictions on unfair employment contracts, would go a long way to improving the situation.

Facebook and Twitter are ostensibly platforms. The analogy would be if a TV network rented out studios and cameras but prevented you from hiring them even though you had the money because they didn't like you or what you were going to film or had filmed or might film.

If they were a TV channel or programme then they'd have no bother refusing you. And that's the nub, are they a platform or are they a publisher? If they're the former and you allow them to discriminate then what's your argument against other businesses discriminating? Can't see that ending well.

If, however, we accept that they're publishers - which in my view they are, as they edit what can be seen in several ways - then by all means let them discriminate but they must follow the rules of other publishing media companies.
