Here's my understanding of it. (I'm sure someone else will correct me on the details)

The tl;dr summary of it is because it was a defence against Telstra's monopolistic practices.

Zero Rating developed because of a few factors:

Telecom Australia were the only providers of international internet connectivity because they owned all the landing points in the country.

Telecom Australia also owned the first comprehensive nation-wide data/internet transit fiber network around the country and to many cities.

Telecom Australia (which was originally entirely government owned) really didn't give a damn about competing - you either paid their price, or you didn't get connection.

I believe Optus may have had access on one or more submarine cables, but that was primarily for phone service.

Telecom Australia eventually became Telstra. They also built an ISP called Bigpond, which was their home-internet brand.

I believe it was Southern Cross Cables that was the first carrier-neutral submarine cable, and that wasn't online until mid/late 2000 in Sydney.

So, the zero-rating of data started as a way of letting Small ISP's customers download content from international sites, without it costing the ISP a fortune.

I remember pretty much every ISP had their own little quota-free services that they'd host themselves. Game servers were a big one, along with patches, mods, maps, movies, and even some would provide mirrors for the early music streaming services like DI.fm

At the same time as all this was happening, various ISPs were setting up and/or peering with the first IXs and allowing users to access services on the other ISPs for free. At first this was just within your state, but then some ISPs built up interstate capacity and allowed free access to content in other states.

This was coinciding with the rollout of ADSL, again which outside of the capital cities - was largely a Telstra undertaking at first. For Telstra, they already owned all the copper, fibre, and buildings to put it in - so it was a relatively cheap proposition. There was a lot of disputes between Telstra and ACCC over whether Telstra would be required to provide access to their copper network and also the ADSL Network, and under what terms. Eventually other ISPs won the right to install their own ADSL gear in Telstra exchanges (although Telstra screwed with that as much as possible) and so they built out/extended fibre networks to all the phone exchanges for this.

Telstra also made their own online services (Bigpond Movies/Music/Sports/Games/etc) quota free to their own customers. My understanding is that they still didn't do a settlement free peering for access to that data.

Optus effectively followed Telstra's lead in everything with few exceptions.
Two years ago i created a gmail account without providing mobile number and was using it on youtube for commenting on political videos. In the past few months i noticed my comments were getting upvoted frequently and then last week gmail is forcing me to provide mobile number for verification to login to my account. If google wants to have mobile number for creating accounts that fine but why force after 2 years. That feels cheating. The whole point is i don't want retaliation from political parties for commenting on the internet and don't want to be tied to my real identity with my mobile number. Sadly there is no competitor for youtube.
That's not how trademark law works. Though it is how a lot of companies like to pretend it works in order to justify obviously egregious lawsuits.

At most you can make an argument that estoppel can apply. Estoppel prevents you suing somebody for doing a thing you agreed they can do, even if you would have been allowed to sue them for doing it if you hadn't agreed they could do it. But estoppel doesn't magically extend to other parties.

In societies where most women eventually settle on one life partner, sexual success is much easier than career success. Your remarks on nature reflect incel fantasies, not the dominant reality.
Referring to plastic surgery as a "proven solution" is a bit of a stretch. The success rate of even "simple" things like straightening a crooked nose is abysmal. Reconstructive surgery (e.g. after an accident) definitely has its place. But unlike what Hollywood would have you believe, you can't make people look like different a person using plastic surgery. It isn't magic. There is scarring. There is risk of severe complications. Especially if you're talking about reshaping the facial bones.
To be fair, it is a discussion about toys, right?
That's my point though, ostensibly it was all in the name of providing equity to the work class whom were seen as disadvantaged and exploited, but actual fact they were more used as proxy for middle class intellectuals to tear down the class above them and replace it with themselves.

Whether or not they were doing this out of conscious malice or it's just a natural course I'm not actually sure.
Electron is fine on its own, sure. The main gripes I read with it are excessive RAM use because it's basically Chrome, and it piles up the more Electron apps we use day-to-day.

"Oh, we finished the medical research ages ago, at this point it's all just about - I mean have you seen their asses?" Yeah, no, that checks out!

Either that, or they have noticed and now they're staying even more lowkey because it's that or end up buried under a literal mountain of thirsty bottoms. Talk about an Area 51 raid...

(Don't get me started on the Alien aliens. I mean, their reproductive cycle obviously takes strong inspiration from that of spider wasps, but parasitoidism only works reliably when the supply of hosts is unconstrained. Given the creatures' evident intelligence and their capacity for rapid and apparently directed adaptation via horizontal gene transfer from their hosts, and given also the extensive variety of things that humans get horny about, you'd really expect to see a modus vivendi develop pretty quick, you know?)

Interesting article. The final “cliff-hanger” was great and not what I was expecting. But I wondered if there was bias in the collection of skulls. Did researchers, to satisfy their own biases, collect skulls which had a specific appearance?

One thing that I noticed traipsing around German castles in my youth was how ugly, to my eyes, the portraits of medieval castle denizens were. It could well have been that poor diet, lack of antibiotics and similar were the reasons for this.

Writing this, I recall an essay, sadly I can’t remember the writer, who said that adult beauty is really a function of exposure to parasites in childhood.

Final point: I thought big jaws were a result of exposure to testosterone. As is clearly the case when you see the before/after pics or steroid users.

Since macros can execute arbitrary code, this makes me feel uneasy that the strings are just executed within a shell context, with all the appropriate, bug-prone, expansion done by the shell.

Its a shame you didn't bother to look at the source code before criticizing. Someone put a lot of work into this library and its actually pretty cool.

The package parses the code in the macros [1] and then calls 'std:Process::Command' [2] which, I believe, does not execute a subshell by default.

It also depends on your ecosystem of choice. If you know Java then a single maven command will build you a full JavaFX application. If you're more comfortable with web, a single npm command will build an Electron app.

I think this is probably a PR stunt for Prepear. There is no incentive which aligns with the rhetoric of this article. I bet some Apple insiders own some Prepear shares and suggested this lawsuit to help them get exposure - In that case, incentives would align.

It's frustrating how capitalists keep preaching about how meritocratic the system is and how the smartest people get to the top, yet when you see something which apparently looks idiotic (coming from these supposedly very smart people) and point out that there may be a hidden, more intelligent agenda behind it, the same capitalists will say that it's too far-fetched...

You've got to make a decision;

a) The system is fair, people at the top are smart, the strategies they implement are clever and not obvious.

b) The system is unfair, the people at the top are imbeciles, the strategies they implement are idiotic and obvious.

Instead, capitalists tend to alternate between the two depending on what suits their own agenda on a case-by-case basis... This inconsistency and intellectual dishonesty is a threat to the system's fairness; though not based on intelligence or skill, but simply because this environment of selective moralization selects people who are inherently dishonest.
That's an innovation in logistics, not a business model.

Philosopher AI – ask GPT3 questions
This isn't necessarily true in all cases - I can cite you an opposite example. Pre-covid, I was in Singapore. You pay $10 SGD for 1GB of data ONLY (no calls included). The top network operator in Singapore is state-backed Singtel.
Their network coverage is very poor in many areas within the city. Singapore is almost literally just one big city and yet, the 4G experience is extremely poor.
Also, customer support is very difficult to get hold of, if you're on the prepaid plan. I almost found it a rip off to pay so much for 1GB of 4G data for such a crappy experience.

Now, after my trip, I went to India. I paid $10 for 1.5GB of data DAILY from Airtel (India's top provider) which also includes free unlimited calls. The experience isn't uniform (India is quite huge in comparison to Singapore) but within any tier A city, Airtel is MUCH better than Singtel. Also, the customer support is top notch for the peanuts you pay them and you can find an operator to talk to in usually a minute or less. For comparison, in Singtel, you would have to navigate the crazyily designed IVR and wait for atleast 5+ minutes before you can talk to a real person.

I'm just citing this example to prove that the most expensive 1GB isn't necessarily the best.

You can tell it's a well-functioning market because one participant is making money off of forced information asymmetries.
The comment really doesn't and I don't think you can conclude that generalization in another way either because there are too many counterexamples in the map. There's no way the expensive Internet in Uganda is superior to Sweden's. Furthermore, qualitiy varies much more in the US than it does in Sweden where its universally high quality and slightly cheaper. French and German internet are both pretty good but seem to differ greatly in price. Portuguese internet isn't that much worse than Spanish (unless you count the annoying setup for Portugal.) Check the map for even more counter examples.

If I had to guess the prices probably have more to do with subsidies, general infrastructure quality and competition than resultant quality.
OK then! I will be interested to see how destructors are reconciled with GC.

Where I have seen GC used in C++ runtimes, it is confined to specific, graph-like structures, where tracking cycles would be messy; or provided to obligate-GC languages being interpreted. In both cases it is always clear whether an object's lifetime is tracked, and the C++ runtime does not see the objects.
Fierce competition, really. Many mobile companies competing - some even loss leaders, who are then bought up by one of the giants for their customers. And switching providers is pretty easy, so people shop around. This has driven down prices.

For internet, the widespread introduction of fiber has really made a huge impact. My father, who lives in a rural area, has 1000GB internet at 40 EUR per month.
My point is that it was obviously malice, with the 'noble goal' working only as propaganda. If there is any natural course to this, it is only that violent revolutions tend to naturally progress to dictatorial regimes, as they are a good moment for the most ruthless to seize power.

The flavor of populism that the new dictators choose to use to ensure the population stays docile seems to matter much less.

The problem is that vertical integration and market penetration has really changed what it means to be anti-competitive in the modern world.

Apple has built a vertically-integrated flywheel. Customers do not have choice. Their choices are between iOS and Android, which isn't much choice at all.

And if you already have bought into either ecosystem, you have even less choice without resulting in significant cost to you, the consumer.
This reminds me of the python version of this called xonsh https://xon.sh/

I really like the idea, but it was missing some simple features that bash had. I can't recall them right now but after an hour of trying to convert a simple bash script, I gave up. That was a year ago. Maybe things changed.

I'll give this and xonsh a go again because I just really dislike bash. Thanks for the project!

The question is always what fair use is. Phone contracts with unlimited data set the fair use clause in Austria to 1.5TB a month and have no such limitation for data only sim cards (home use).

On the other hand unlimited in Germany often means ISDN speeds after 50GB.
This is why Perl and regular expressions have been so popular on Unix and Linux systems for the past 30 years or so.

Python and Ruby are also very handy for these kinds of tasks.

Germany is usually notoriously expensive. I'm surprised to see it on-par with the US here.

Also what does cheapest mean? For germany I'd want to see 8eur for 3gb. That's the budget default here set by Aldi (including phone/text flat, I guess 7eur without that), Lidl allays following them after 1-2 weeks.
Ask yourself: What does Apple have to gain from this? It can't be money, because it's a tiny company. Does Apple just like to start a "egregious lawsuit" for the fun of it, because they love to be evil? That explanation just doesn't work.

That’s an oft repeated myth, but it’s not quite true.

From an article by the EFF:

> The circumstances under which a company could actually lose a trademark—such as abandonment and genericide—are quite limited. Genericide […] is very rare […]. Courts also set a very high bar to show abandonment (usually years of total non-use). Importantly, failure to enforce a mark against every potential infringer does not show abandonment.

Yes, you're right. The article makes little sense. I think you're being downvoted because you didn't describe why you think it's senseless.

I can list one reason: this study didn't account for unlimited plans. I think that alone is a pretty bad omission. In some cases you could use N terabytes per month for pretty marginal extra cost.
So due to few bad actors everyone should suffer ? One would hope collective punishment is a thing of the past...

I made the switch to DDG as my first search engine of choice a couple of years ago and when I am dissatisfied with my DDG searches, I usually compare them to !g and !b searches and find they are only infrequently much better.

I think it takes time to learn how best to query DDG. I originally started to use DDG when Google buried Google Scholar queries and I found using the !gsc query more convenient than working with bookmarks or navigating Google. Getting familiar with bang queries I think makes you have a much less siloed view of search.
