It is totally pro-monopoly. I live in Ohio and many of our communities are only served by a single provider. Those providers offer fairly sluggish service as well as fairly high costs. People that I work with regularly complain about one or the other. My community discussed community broadband (going so far as to put at least exploring it to a vote on one of our ballots). It was shot down ("Why do we need to increase taxes to pay for this? I already have the internets... no one needs more") and shortly after that we finally got a second provider. Just that second provider caused prices to plummet. I went from being stuck with getting anywhere from 5 to 30 down (advertised as "up to 100") for $75 a month to getting gigabit internet for $65 a month.

Just stop being manipulative.

Let's be honest, your son is in an age with many changes and now or in the next 2-3 years he'll start to watch porn and just in general explore life.

If you have doubts of how to do handle this situation, go see a psychologist, they will help you to comprehend that situation.

Nobody really likes control and he'll likely have a hard time and even get into very bad behaviour if he figures out that everything he does you want to control and censor. Instead try to build a relationship of trust, that he can be open about the new challenges he has in life, about his love life and what he may share and want to discover and do in life.

He isn't a part of you and he'll do whatever he wants, the earlier you accept this and try to support him, the better.

The effect, if not the point, of the HN posts here decrying diversity (heavens forbid!) is to force a discussion about the value of racial diversity and racial justice. To put them under question, even if the argument itself is lost. This isn't about your post, it's about far-right trolls trying to force their culture war discourse onto this forum. A good thing their posts have been flagged.

What an odd hill to die on. The article doesn't mention lobbying efforts at all, and I'd be very curious to take a look at the money trail - there's got to be one. This isn't a strong enough idealogical position and both parties are expanding government. Theres no way the majority of the house and senate have managed to avoid slow speed and service interruptions, so they must know that 10Mbps might as well be dial-up these days.

Interesting point of view. Have you ever sold a product? I assume not, otherwise I can't imagine how you would conclude that ads don't contribute to sales and don't bring value to customers.
Are people actually using APE? It's a really clever hack but I can't imagine it's a good idea to actually distribute executables that rely on ancient COM / shell formats and a weird C library to work.

It's really not that hard to build standalone binaries for Mac, Linux and Windows using GitHub Actions. Especially if you use a reasonably modern language like Go, Dart or Rust.

FPTP isn’t “also” a problem, it (and more broadly the absence of proportionality in the electoral system) is the empirically verifiable problem. (See, e.g., Lijphardt’s Patterns of Democracy.)

Representation ratio is much discussed, but unlIke FPTP there's not really support in comparative study of democracies for it being a source of adverse results (poor satisfaction, reduce dimensionality of the policy option space, etc.)

Much as the accuracy of sampling is, despite common intuition to the contrary, dependent on the absolute, not relative, size of the sample, representation ratio probably doesn't practically matter much once the absolute size of the representative body gets past a certain point (and beyond a certain absolute size, logistics make size increases adverse independent of ratio.)

I iterate over rows in pandas fairly often for plotting purposes. Anytime I want to draw something more complicated than a single point for each row, I find it's simple and straight-forward to just iterrows() and call the appropriate matplotlib functions for each. It does mean some plots that are conceptually pretty simple end up taking ~5 seconds to draw, but I don't mind. Is there really a better alternative that isn't super complicated? Keep in mind that I frequently change my mind about what I'm plotting, so simple code is really good (it's usually easier to modify) even if it's a little slower.

Loggle Is the New Tool for Managing IT Assets
Loggle is a cloud-based IT Asset Management tool that allows companies to track and optimize their IT assets via a shared platform. Users can oversee their applications, SaaS, license plans and hardware assets and get detailed reports on their IT inventory.
Global cloud spending is expected to hit a record $362B next year. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, companies are looking into ways to optimize IT investments and minimize costs. Loggle provides a platform where IT managers and CIO’s can manage application inventories and hardware equipment. Metrics and surveys help to evaluate overall technical quality and business value of IT assets.
“Enterprises rely on hundreds of applications, SaaS, and hardware equipment for their daily operations. Traditionally, companies use spreadsheets to create inventories for these assets. This often results in multiple documents across departments and branches,” says founder and CEO Fatih Kökce. “With Loggle, we wanted to create a tool that overcomes this complexity, helping IT managers and CIO’s base their decisions on complete and up-to-date data.”
R&D efforts for Loggle have been ongoing since 2019. Loggle offers Application Portfolio Management (APM), license management, hardware management, and integration management features. The APM module helps identify redundant purchases and provides application lifecycle recommendations based on IT quality and business value. Users can follow license renewal dates on a calendar and set custom reminders. All changes regarding assets and users can be monitored and exported. Users can also import their integrations into Loggle, which then creates rich visuals that illustrate system connections and data flows. Users can choose to use Loggle via cloud or on-premises.

Calling VR insubstantial is absurd. Just because VR helmets won't be as popular as mobile phones doesn't make them so. It's like calling an Xbox insubstantial.

What VR lacks in game variety, it makes up for in how unique the experience is. VR consoles will be able to get new games and apps, while "regular" consoles won't get more unique without releasing new models.

Gaming in VR is also a lot more beginner friendly. Console Controllers are not intuitive, whereas VR controls almost always are.

In short, VR is already very viable and its future is extremely promising. But if you want to short stuff, be my guest.

Somebody owns shares in an ISP, or gets their salary from one, or has somehow drunk the kool aid.

ISPs, once they have a legislated monopoly in localities, have a solid track record of stagnating investment in improved capabilities regardless of billing increases.

Forcing ISPs to compete against self-motivated local establishments of ISP services is what makes capabilities and prices work best for the customers.
It's not surprising. Elected officials care more about getting reelected in the next election than long term effects of their decisions. So they are incentivized to care more about the short term.

Very cool, I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with
Mathematical foundations are indeed incomplete, that is,

there are true propositions, which are unprovable.

However, [Gödel 1931] failed to prove incompleteness of

foundations using the nonexistent proposition

I'mUnprovble. The [Gödel 1931] attempt to construct

I'mUnprovable using fixed points fails because it violates

restrictions on orders of propositions. The Gödel number of a

proposition left out its order.

Furthermore, existence of I'mUnprovable would have the

unfortunate consequence that foundations are inconsistent.

It is worth noting that the proposition I'mUnprovable is of

no practical importance in mathematical foundations.

Consequently its nonexistence does not much matter.

See the following for further explanation:

The government is beholden to the first amendment, unlike the (small number of) private ISPs.

Even if they weren't, in almost all cases we're talking about municipal broadband as an additional option, not the only option. One that would drive down prices through competition and whose operators have a vested interest in their users having a good experience regardless of how remote they are.

In Fort Collins there is NextLight broadband that is a municipal service. I am in southern Denver and have Comcast. I would far prefer NextLight. Competition, regardless of private or public, makes things better. Anyone advocating for less competition (and removing a public option does that) doesn't have our best interests at heart and is likely just advocating for their lobbied interests.
> So you're not seeing any concerns about letting the government control your internet?

Laws forbidding municipal broadband fall squarely in the “government control your internet” camp.

> Especially when this idea is proposed by a party who is vocally against freedom of speech and a few other freedoms?

Well that’s the nice thing about municipal internet: the government is controlled by the first amendment, unlike corporate broadband. So if you’re worried about being censored by your internet provider, I’d stick with the internet provider which is constitutionally forbidden from doing that.
Kerala did much better than other states in terms of a rational and effective response to covid.
Same reason nobody hosts their production website on a Celeron box in the corner of the office: Production hosting is about more than just requests per second.

The Pi server thing is a proof of concept that ignores everything else that goes into production hosting.

You can do it, it’s just going to be miserable like any self hosting, slower than any x86 hardware, and require the equivalent of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars of engineering time just to accomplish what you could get with a few clicks and 15 minutes with AWS.

I'll say up front that I'm a non-audiophile, and so I'm offering my opinion from that point of view.

I find the Spatial Audio / Dolby Atmos thing weird for a number of reasons.

First, the dual branding seems clunky. "First I listened to music in mono. Then I listened to music in stereo. Then I listened to music in ____" I'd be willing to bet that even amongst people who care a lot about this stuff you'd have a hard time getting consensus about how to fill in the blank.

Second, the fact that there's a brand name attached to it at all feels wrong. One of the great things about music is its accessibility to artists as a medium: lots of great music will come from young folk in their bedrooms with cheap recording rigs. Will they pay a license fee to Dolby? There are many examples of great art that's wrapped up in proprietary technology (video games, for example) but music feels so basic to the human experience that (a) I don't want a brand name attached to it, and (b) it'll never become standard because people are always going to make recorded music without engaging Dolby. An historic example that comes to mind is Technicolor, which feels like something from the olden days. Groundbreaking in its time but no longer culturally relevant.

Third, it does indeed seem weird that this technology would be implemented by a middleman. Sometimes I'll fall in love with a song that has a lot of nuance (like a Bjork song, for example), and I'll tell someone about it, and they'll pull it up on their phone and hold the phone next to their ear, and I'll say, "well, you have to listen to it in headphones." Now I'll say, "well, you have to listen to it in headphones. Actually, this specific make and model of headphones. And also through an Apple Music subscription." (I realize I'm being hyperbolic here, but I think there's a valid point to be made about shared experience where music is concerned.)

And while I’m a fierce advocate of the idea that it’s okay for people bring their own interpretation and meaning to art – I don’t believe the artist should or can have total control over how the art is consumed – the mass remixing of all this music feels more akin to the remixing of the original Star Wars movies than it does to the restoration of a painting.

Finally, I just don’t think very many people will care. I would be willing to bet that a minority of people could pick out a Dolby Atmos song from the original, and of those that could, it seems unclear they would prefer the Atmos version. There are a hundred things I would have chosen to improve about my Apple Music listening experience before sound quality: making the navigation of the music app make any sense whatsoever, and having the AI generated “stations” not be terrible, are two examples. And I know, I know, it’s different groups of people working on different things and it’s not like they can reassign a sound engineer to rewrite the UX of the music app, but it feels like if there was a water leak above my desk in the office and the office manager’s solution was to buy me a nicer chair.
>Take YouTube - a popular ad supported service with a premium tier. How many people are willing to pay to remove ads? Less than 1%.

I think that's an inaccurate assessment of 'people who don't want to see ads', given that statistics put internet wide usage of ad-blockers at around 42%.[0].

Maybe it's just that no one wants to pay their captors for golden ear-muffs and blinders when they themselves are the ones responsible for the poor user experience.

> The model I’d like would be having fiber either be owned by the city or a highly regulated utility, with a market for ISPs to provide service on that infrastructure.

That's how telecoms are organized in NL, although through loosening of regulations, mergers and acquisitions the service geography is reducing to separate islands of non-competing monopolies. Yet, it still works decently well. Also energy is the same (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_the_Neth...)

As a counterexample, the creation of the "energy free market" by spinning off the local infra from the energy brokers and producers has turned into a convenient excuse to screw customers over billing and passing the buck back-and-forth to keep the money.
> The real question is why do you only see racial diversity as a problem.

My question to you would be why did you interpret that person's comment that way? Rejecting the hyper-focus on racial diversity which is common in some parts of progressive Western culture is not at all the same as seeing racial diversity as a problem. I agree that in a broad sense a community is strengthened by diverse membership, but I don't agree that the White Guilt hinted at in the original article is constructive.

I think you've constructed a straw-man to argue against here, and that's not at a very nice thing to do.
It sounds like this is just one provision in a big budget bill. My guess is it didn't even factor into how most of the legislature voted at all. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them didn't even know it was in the bill.
I see the similarities. However, there's a difference between selling a technical solution and publishing social information. There's also a vast difference between doing special work to appease one target country so you can sell there compared to choosing whether or not to lose the entire world outside your home country because you can offer some protection but not the best protection to foreign buyers. 40 bits was not nearly as easy to break in 1998 as it is now.

Because now it's inconvenient.

It's the inconsistency that's most disturbing.
Arguably, the best you can do is be a good and well-paid technical person, and donate money to the people who work professionally to fix the problem.

There are a lot of routes you can take on that. You can give money to political candidates, and political groups, who want to do something about climate change.

You can also donate to organizations working on it. You'll have to research ones taking an approach you prefer, but here are some starting points:

https://climatestore.com/take-action/get-involved/non-profit...
https://donorbox.org/nonprofit-blog/20-global-nonprofits-env...

If you want to give time rather than money, most of these organizations also want volunteers, including technical ones. They've all got systems to maintain.
