To be fair, Verizon Wireless has been much more successful at getting IPv6 devices into customers' hands.

- Verizon: 40.11%
- T-Mobile: 1.57%

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is T-Mobile's first device to ship with IPv6 on by default:

600GB is not huge. It it tiny. That is half my steam library. A quarter of my backblaze backup. A crash event and I will have to wait half an year to recover my stuff.

I see your math problem. And it has some solutions:

1. Nightly speeds - this was used in my country by the ISP-s when all caps on speed were removed after 1am to 6am with QoS on 80/443
2. Non guaranteed top speeds - you allow people to go up to some speed if your network is underutilized.
3. Metered - I think that is the best approach if the pricing is right - a person cost me 20$/month just to be connected to my network (fixed costs). You ask him for 30. A terabyte moving in/out of my network costs me 2$ - you ask him for 3$. If you have 1 TB - it is 33$/month, if you want to seed a lot - be my guest. You get your margins on the traffic. And you are transparent to your customers. (yeah I know decision fatigue, but it could be solved with prepaying and just allowing access to payment sites when the prepayed traffic is over).
I know that JARVIS in Iron Man was an AI, but actually when I watched Iron Man, I was particularly impressed with just how well integrated the voice system was and how if a startup put their mind to it, they probably could achieve something close with todays technology:

A house wide audio system that recorded all speech, fingerprinting it so that the speaker was identified and transcribing it so that it was searchable.

Add to that a SIRI-like system that you can interact with naturally from any room in your house, and you already have something very interesting.

Just think about how useful it would be for solving domestic disputes:

"Jarvis, did I agree to buy the milk yesterday?",
"Could not find any conversations involving you and 'milk' yesterday."

It's a massive job to rebuild a library,

Building it is only a fraction of the effort. Maintaining it is where it gets exceptionally hard. Until very recently we had a system in the US - most worthwhile ideas made it into print and as part of registering for copyright, at least one copy of the book was sent to the Library of Congress for archiving.

But the internet has made knowledge ephemeral and there isn't any formal system for preserving knowledge anymore. We've got places like the wayback machine, which is great, but isn't anywhere near the kind of capacity we need AND it is fragile too. Unlike books, the media we use rapidly becomes obsolete. Most storage formats from 30 years ago are extremely difficult to read today because the hardware is so rare.

The guys at the wayback machine, project gutenberg and others are working on the problem but the scope is just so absolutely enormous that its basically impossible. It is a certainty that this start of "internet age" is going to be a black hole in history a couple of centuries down the line. Nearly everything we do and say online is going to be forgotten at unprecedented levels.

We need an NSA - National Storage Agency - dedicated to archiving the knowledge and culture expressed on the internet instead of practically meaningless "metadata."
Stored XSS in GMail for iOS
"Samsung shipped a record 213 million smartphones, due in large part to its new Galaxy S2 and S3 models.

Apple shipped a reported (estimated) 135.8 million smartphones — iPhone5 and iPhone4 models."

The S2 and S3 are hardly "knock-off phones".

That there aren't any low-end iphone, and the fact that you can use most apps on low end Android phones as well as on high end ones, just makes Android that more attractive in my opinion.

My previous phone was a Samsung S1 (unfortunately they were a bit rushed, and had crappy GPS -- even if everything else was great). My current phone is a Galaxy Note II -- and I also have a cheap, spare HTC Explorer phone that I can use for prototyping ideas with a physical device (anything that needs GPS/Accelerometer/Screen/Camera+software). And it could be used for deploying pretty much anything in a very cheap and straightforward package (even has usb, wifi and bluetooth for linking with other systems...).

I'm gay, so my parents wouldn't pay or help me in any way. The public colleges in my state basically told me that if I didn't have the money, I should get lost and try again when I was 24. (This was despite routinely having the highest standardized test scores in my entire high school and a solid GPA. I usually test in the 95-99% range nationwide.)

Meanwhile, many of my far stupider peers with richer/more benevolent parents have already graduated. The only difference between me and them is access to tens of thousands of dollars in tuition money. Colleges are nothing but a business, and if you think otherwise, you are very lucky to have been in a situation where you have never had to wait out half a decade in poverty because of where and how you were born.
In each of your example, people still get the amount they buy. If you go and buy a timeshare for "up to 1 month per year", and was only allowed 15 days, you still be angry. the 1 month is in the contract, not 15 days.

Same goes for hotels. If I got kicked out of my hotel in the middle of the night because they overbooked, I would again be angry. Its my room for that night, not "up to 1 night".

As for rentaled/leased cars, as other has said in above, those don't normally comes with restrictions. Those that do, have such restrictions clearly advertised, and do not use words like unlimited mileage. They also don't restrict number of passengers or where you are allowed to drive.
I thought this was interesting, but I disagree with the premise. In the software world, the equivalent of building a machine shop from scratch is called bootstrapping. The first programs are written in an assembly language which is difficult for humans to read or write. These first programs generally facilitate a higher level of abstraction; a compiler or interpreter for a more human readable programming language.

This second generation of tools allows for quicker development cycles, leading to even better tools. For instance, the C language led to Unix[1] which led to the Internet which led to a combinatorial explosion of software. It works the same way in physical reality - with each generation of development, the act of creation inches closer to pure thought. It's called progress. If you can't keep up, I don't care.

A similar phenomenon happens to human beings. Societal developments insulate us from the hardship of actually being self-sufficient. It's easier to be prosperous now than ever before in history, and it's made us all incredibly soft. Grab a kitchen knife and try to kill a squirrel before you start planning your post-apocalyptic charcoal forge.

I am an Ivy League alum from late last decade.

My financial aid grant was approximately 75% of tuition (before considering any federal loans).

I filed a FAFSA, and some direct paperwork required by the University. The paperwork amounted to less than 10 pages each year. I am not including the paper count of tax documents from my family.

There were several financial aid officers, but I worked closely with one. At every step of the process she was available to answer questions. I made several mistakes in my paperwork, even one after submission. My aid officer helped me with each issue.

My father passed away when I was in school. After I reported this to my University through my financial aid officer, they immediately waived all remaining tuition requirements (excluding those covered by federal loan grants). I did not pay a dime after that.

My family made about $60k a year, before my father's passing. $30k after. We own a house. I think we were middle class, but I am not sure how that is defined.

I got my aid officer a cake every year.
London in fact is not a lower crime rate city than New York. It's a much lower homicide rate city however.

Per 100,000 people (all data is recent, from wikipedia, the guardian and met police; it's understood these numbers swing annually)

NYC: homicide 6.4; robbery 235; aggravated assault 327; violent crime 581; burglary 215; larceny theft 1,336; vehicle theft 123; rape 14.6

London: homicide 1.1; robbery 440; knife enabled crimes 168; aggravated assault 950; burglary 529; vehicle theft 994; rape 20

And this:

http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/nycrime.htm

Claims even lower rates for most of those crimes stats for NYC. From what I can find, New York has vastly lower crime rates on most things except homicides.
> I think Linux stood a real chance with the introduction of Ubuntu a long time ago. Graphical package management was enormous, coupled with Gnome and a very simple installation.

From that perspective Ubuntu didn't add much to Debian, or existing variants like Knoppix.

I don't follow. You thought Ubuntu was OK, and among one of the good things was consistency and opinionated UI -- and you think that's still there -- but you don't like it because of the theming?

>not sure it was worthy of a Forbes article.

Don't confuse Forbes magazine with Forbes.com. The website uses the same model as sites like seeking alpha, where pretty much anyone can write poorly researched, unverified articles and get them published.

From Wikipedia:

In contrast to the Forbes magazine, the website Forbes.com uses a "contributor model" in which a wide network of "Contributors" writes and publishes articles directly on the website.[15] The Forbes staff does not assign stories, fact check, or edit contributions, and Contributors write stories about any topic they choose.[15] Contributors are paid based on traffic to their Forbes.com pages; the site has received contributions from over 2,500 individuals, and some Contributors have earned over US$100,000, according to the company.[15]

But lets take the look from the buyer. You see a 8MB line for $80 amount, and 10MB line for say for $100. Knowing what you pay for is the minimum requirement for informed purchase, or you end up with a lemon market.

You keep repeating that socialism doesn't work. In the period 1928 - 1934 the socialist USSR went from an agrarian country, devastated by wars to world's second industrial power.

USSR has made a huge amount of contributions in science as well. Other socialist countries - e.g. Bulgaria - have enjoined rapid increase in industrial output, standard of living and literacy rates when going from capitalism to socialism.

Do you really honestly think the way in which you communicate with people has no impact?

I completely agree, as a white dude having to worry about the way in which people receive my communication is just so unfair. I mean I call one guy a nigger and all of a sudden I'm racist. I'm not, I was just angry. Admittedly angry enough to call on centuries of historical context and language coached in violence to point out the lower social status of someone. But that's not racist.

It's not your job to tell people how to communicate with others. But it entirely your responsibility to communicate with people in the way they wish to be communicated with, if you want to be heard. This isn't about being PC, it's about not being exclusionary to 50% of the population. Women are not going to want to work with you if you're not willing to be inclusive.

Piss off you moist wanker. Did you stop to think that what you consider PC, other people might consider legitimately offensive? Did you ever stop to think it's not your job to tell women what they're allowed to be offended by? It's honestly pretty impressive that you consider someone expressing their discomfort with sexist language to be worse than the sexist language itself.
I believe this isn't true any more. Legally, stamp duty will be due at 15% in this case.

Only for newly built properties - the transfer into corporate ownership attracts 15% duty. However, properties that are already owned by offshore companies care unaffected.

I agree that there are probably ways round the new rules too: The tax laws in this country are so complex that those who can employ the best accountants and lawyers can often simply out argue the Inland Revenue.

My initial plan was to provide the node features using Foundation.framework features only. Now, this could turn out to be

now pretty sure I'd go with libuv.

I'm not quite sure about using libuv from the start, though. My consideration was that a) this is not targeted at server applications, so you don't necessarily need very high performance and b) libuv is a cross-platform library, while I'm targeting darwin only, so it might be a bit overkill.

Do you have experience with libuv? If so, do you have experience regarding footprint / conciseness? Can you confirm/deny my presumptions?
Most goods in the US travel by train. Even more so than Europe. It's the main reason why passenger rail in the US is shit. Rail companies make more per mile transporting freight than they do passengers so freight gets priority.
Actually, its 6% if you use simplified taxation. After that you can cash in your companys profits every quarter for a reduced 9% dividend tax (instead of 13% personal income tax).
That's only if you're 18, though. If you have to work a while before college to keep a roof over your head, or try to take classes at a community college, you basically disqualify yourself from virtually all financial aid and grants.

Most colleges don't extend financial aid to transfer students (even if they guarantee full need for other students), most take ability to pay into account when determining transfer admissions (even if they go on and on about making it affordable, apparently this doesn't apply if you're not a college credit virgin), and quite a few elite colleges don't accept transfers at all (and if they do, it's usually 5x more competitive than their normal admissions process).

This is seriously exagerrated.

> submit literally hundreds of pages of paperwork. (I counted.)

I recently went through the college admissions process. And I didn't count but there most certainly weren't hundreds of pages required for financial aid. Especially since the vast majority of it can be electronically filed and since there are standardized processes for applying for financial aid across different universities (i.e FAFSA).

> no matter how small, automatically disqualifies you from all help

Seriously exaggerated. Mistakes can be rectified by calling/directly contacting the financial aid office.

Ever here the Bob Dylan song The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll? It's about a 1963 incident when a white Maryland farmer named William Zantzinger got drunk and started harassing a middle-aged black barmaid and hitting her with a cane. She collapsed and died and he got a six month prison term. In the early 90s Zantzinger went to jail again - this time for charging rent on shacks that were actually owned by the local government. These shacks didn't have running water and they were located 30 miles down the road from Washington, D.C.

Obviously the United States is not Russia and our leaders aren't kleptocrats. But they have been willing to ignore abject poverty for generations. I suspect that the dismissive, contemptuous attitude that many middle and upper class Americans have towards, say, the inner cities, would not be unfamiliar in Moscow or St. Petersburg.
I like this analogy. In a somewhat cheesy way, life is a casino, and the big winners are lucky idiots and pro gamblers. You can't choose to become a lucky idiot, but you can choose to become a pro gambler.
