The hike up to Diamondhead was one of the highlights of our honeymoon. It's beautiful, both the views of the Pacific and the city from the top, and the park on the way up. It's modestly strenuous as a hike, probably less so if you're an active hiker.

The aquarium near Waikiki Beach was also quite fun.

Foodwise there exist lots of options which cater to tourists in the area we were. Those were mostly pretty good, but largely in the fashion that you expect for restaurants catering to tourists. I strongly recommend you get a recommendation or two from somebody local. (We did for a meal or two, but unfortunately I don't remember either of the places well enough to Google or name them.) The single best restaurant we went to was Roy's, which does Asian-fusion among other things. It was good enough to build a trip around, and Ruriko and I will probably do that at some point. There is also a Nobu, which is pricey, but offers really credible sushi. (I've had good sushi in the US, but Nobu is the only sushi which would tempt me to cheat on my local sushi joint in Japan.)
> Once you have laws and police to protect the banks, the banks are happy guaranteeing you your money back if you are a victim of fraud or theft.

This is really just not true. It's also less and less true as time goes on. There are now cases of small businesses hit by Zeus malware suing their banks for not covering the fraud losses. Its also getting more difficult for defrauded customers to get Visa to issue chargebacks; eg, my mom was told she would first have to file a court claim against a sketchy moving company which stole her credit card deposit. In China, UnionPay (the Visa of China) simply doesn't do chargebacks for customers, that's why TaoBao (eBay/amazon of China) offers escrow services.

Furthermore, watch any American Greed episode, it's on its sixth or seventh season on CNBC. Tell all the victims profiled on that show that their losses to investment frauds, mortgage frauds, ponzi schemes etc., that their money is guaranteed by the bank. It just isn't.

True, bitcoin is a Wild West. But fraud happens very often through the legacy banking system as well.
1. One use case for this is trade settlement. Instead of the DTCC's status quo of T+3(days), if there are trades that can be settled on a blockchain, that can be reduced to T+1(hr) or less. Same with payment/transfer - ACH T+3 sucks, blockchain T+1hr or less is much better. A lot of research into both right now.

3. This one is interesting as there are some areas of law that computational law researchers have decided are uncomputable, hence requiring judges, arbitration, etc. Those probably won't be represented blockchains for the foreseeable future, at least until strong AI is perfected.

There's definitely a lot of noise about moving everything onto blockchains, but as you point not all of it makes sense. The name of the game, especially for startups and companies in this space, is to find what does.
>Consider a local ISP in Dallas TX. Since all major backbones run through Dallas, the local ISP can now connect to all the backbones for free and essentially pay nothing?

The backbones are not included. You're only forced to link at the interchange point if you are providing service to end-users, be they residential or servers.

The point of the interchange points is to enforce net neutrality at the local level and then let the market deal with transit between them. The CDNs and transit providers would sell service to connect ISPs to exchange points they're not directly peered at.

>I think your rule #3 might be enough on its own. Let Comcast choose whether to peer with Netflix or receive their traffic via transit, as long as there is no congestion. Given that transit costs money, this will bring Comcast to the negotiating table.

That wouldn't work if the provider is willing to drop them completely. The rule would have to be "You have to be able to reach 100% of the internet and none of your peering points can be above X% peak utilization".
The author is making valid points.

Nobody here likes to hear it, and I feel like a lot of people in SV are tuning this out, but bitcoin is really, really struggling to find a relevant use case, especially with consumers. Regular consumers have absolutely no reason to use bitcoin. The "1-click" payment and 1% price discount are not appealing enough to the average Joe who already gets 1-2% cash back, airline miles, and consumer protection on his credit card (and 1-click checkouts on many e-commerce platforms). And more regulation isn't helping the "crypto-anarchist" decentralization angle either. Add price volatility to that and it kills the consumer use case.

Bitcoin is great, FOR MERCHANTS.

BUT PAYMENTS IS A TWO-SIDED MARKET. A winning product must appeal to both sides, the buyer and the seller. Bitcoin appeals to the seller at the expense of the buyer. Even if the blockchain technology overcomes all of its flaws, we would have bootstrapped a value exchange system that does not offer greater benefit to the one that exists today.

Many are making the flawed and simplistic analogy of comparing bitcoin/blockchain technology to the early days of the Internet... That analogy is not valid. When it comes to money, consumers actually WANT a central authority. They want to be insured and cuddled and protected and not run the risk (however small) of being criminally liable for transactions and have someone to speak with if they make an erroneous transaction or have their card stolen. And they can already do all that, which makes it tremendously difficult to compel them to change the habits they've had in forever to adopt a system that does not provide them with significant advantages.

I've been in bitcoin since 2011 and used to be a big believer, but I don't see bitcoin or blockchain technology gaining traction with consumers, because it simply doesn't solve a problem for them.

It could be destined to eternally remain a store of value (like gold) or find targeted applications (like machine-to-machine payments). The underlying blockchain technology could be of more use if adopted by the banking system, for example, but that is still far in the future.

In most cases, streaming is basically no different than downloading, right? The vast majority of people watch a video only once.

So it's more like saying "downloading is 90% of their traffic and its not sustainable."
It's worse than that. If you look at how much bandwidth is required for any-to-any connectivity you can approximate how much it costs by modelling the internet as a full graph. Of course the cost of a full graph internet is n(n-1), with n the number of customers.

The problem is, what happens when you connect a new customer. Well, simple :

1) the income of the ISP increases by some fixed amount

2) the cost of providing this connection increases by n+1 (the number of existing customers)

So here's the catch

np needs to pay for n(n-1)c pipes

Where n is the number of customers on the internet. P is the average income per customer and c is the cost of a pipe that will sustain one customer.

Needless to say, this won't work.
That's a classic journalism tactic. Mention some unsubstantiated innuendo, then qualify it so that you're technically in the clear.

Larry is truly amazing and no question about that. To me though, this comes as less surprise. His contributions can certainly be attributed to few not so well known facts.

1. Highly educated parents. His father has Ph.D. and is considered pioneer in computer science and artificial intelligence ( source : wikipedia)
2. Mother : Comp. Science professor
3. His brother Carl Page Jr. sold company called eGroups to Yahoo!.
So when you consider all this facts together, with kind of upbringing he had it less surprise that he followed the suit and created search engine. I bet this sort of environment must have played crucial role when he went for VC capital.
If you have read crossing the chasm it talks about how a company with few hundered people can go mainstream. Larry leveraged all his background, upbringing and knowledge he had to create one of great software product.

Post another submission if you manage to root their server in a way that's relevant to LibreSSL.
How is that relevant to my point? If anything, it supports my point. Municipal utilities tend towards monopoly, because private entities can't compete with a universal government funded service. But what makes you think that these municipal broadband networks would be better maintained than our aging and deteriorating power, sewer, and water infrastructure?

Humor me for a second and get past the fact that such a law would benefit cable companies. Is it a bad idea on its own merits? I don't think so. Municipal broadband would crowd out private investment in broadband. Given the state of other municipal infrastructure, there's a high probability it would be underfunded and low quality. Would that be a better state of affairs? Being stuck with an overloaded municipal system that never received enough funding because voters don't really care enough allocate a lot of money maintaining and upgrading it, that at the same time makes it impractical for private systems to operate?

I don't think the solution is to allow municipalities to do more things that undermine competition. The solution is to deregulate at the state level. Force municipalities to make the kind of "hands off" deal Google demands in return for rolling out Google Fiber to any company willing to make the investment.
Funny - it now appears that there are 0 comments on the Comcast page.
They're delivering it to some of their customers. Those who are also Netflix customers.

I didn't find that method helpful, but I guess YMMV.
>Anyone that wants to peer at an IXP can do so (usually, and assuming you lay your own cable to get there), and whether or not a peering is made is decided by the would be peers.

Right, and the three rules are about regulating how those decisions get made.

>In the world you illustrate, these peering decisions are made by government regulators.

No, they're still made by the ISPs, it's just that as long as one of them wants it the other can't say no.

>In your world, there is literally zero money to be made as a transit provider.

Not really. Unless you're willing to connect to all the interchange points in the world you will be paying a transit provider to access all the interchange points you don't peer at directly, just like it happens today.

>Your solution asks companies, which have expended enormous amounts of capital on infrastructure, to share their capital expenditure with anyone and everyone. That's entirely unfair to those companies, and it renders their investment useless.

Which companies are your referring to? The end-user ISPs will continue to charge their clients. The transit providers will continue to charge ISPs to connect to other interchange points. The CDNs will continue to provide the same service. No one is getting to use infrastructure for free. In fact the exchange points are just physical points, the fibers going into them are paid by each of the ISPs peering. Everyone pays their own way.

I think Comcast, owner of NBC Universal, has little ground to stand on here. Streaming is an inefficient use of the Internet that is popular only because people are too terrified of lawsuits to use better technologies like BitTorrent. Comcast has worked hard to set up the legal environment that created this situation; they will see no sympathy from me.
This reminds me of Firefox Mobile's reader mode - something I find invaluable.

Unfortunately they don't seem to have a desktop equivalent, yet.
That's not true. Backbone pays for long haul to meet me room. ISP pays for last mile from meet me to consumer.
Comcast decided to not only not pay for interchange equipment, but also to charge twice for traffic. Classic monopolist move.
Your rural parents don't make nearly the use of the physical wiring that cost so much to install. It shows in the rate.
That's what's really bothered me about this whole thing--Comcast and the likes have already mastered their phrasing, and that bodes poorly for public perception of the issue. I've heard the term Open Internet used in that context several times in the last few days, and I think it's a part of a concerted effort to paint preferential traffic treatment as making the internet more "open for business". The hope is that rosy phrasing will "help" Joe Shmoe decide that the FCC's proposal is pro-consumer and pro-openness. They're not using the term in some cynical attempt to say that it ain't so, they're trying to actively re-define and capture it to form a cohesive narrative.
This is OpenBSD's fork of Apache 1.3. It runs chroot and privsep'd by default, and of course is patched for security issues where necessary. (OpenBSD recently dropped Apache from the base build and is now fully committed to nginx, moving forward.)

From the FAQ:

Why isn't a newer version of Apache included?
The license on newer versions is unacceptable. Users interested in more modern web servers are encouraged to look at nginx(8) which will hopefully be replacing Apache in base.

(the latter has actually happened as of 5.4)

Also the Apache 1.3 in OpenBSD had been audited as it was part of the base distribution (i.e. not just a port) and it ran chrooted by default.
Actually, that sounds like an awesome compromise. A tag on a paywalled article is enough of a heads up to not even bother for me (assuming, of course, that this is enough of a bother to anyone else to even consider implementing).
I don't find it at all coincidental that software developers write and speak in 'code'. Software development literally is esoteric - "intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialised knowledge or interest". Given there are 7 billion people on the planet, there's a lot of software developers kicking around at the moment, but they still represent a tiny fraction of the population. I think we tent to forget are concepts in the IT world that are so highly abstract they seem like magic to the average person. I'm a metal fabricator by trade, every day my mind boggles that we have tamed electricity to be able to fuse metals flawlessly. The number of things that have to come together to support the modern world is "magic" to me in a romantic sense.

Engineers, software developers, hardware developers, technicians, and trades people have literally assembled this world (the built environs) from dust (raw materials in general).
Lobbying Efforts Intensify After F.C.C. Tries 3rd Time on Net Neutrality
> Companies deciding what to do based on what's good for them and their objectives.

As a long-time user of alternative browsers (e.g. Konqueror) I certainly object to companies deciding to take specific actions on their web sites for web browsers for reasons that are not clearly technical. If for no other reason than as a net neutrality issue.

Again, just because people and companies technically have the legal right to do something doesn't make it a good idea.
OpenBSD did not upgrade to 2.X. You're talking about ports, which are separate from the base operating system. For accurate information about OpenBSD, right now, check:

http://www.openbsd.org/55.html

Regarding ports, they're basically a compilation build system that complements binary packages (which OpenBSD also has) for 3rd party software not installed with the base system . See:

Yes; so what? The traffic always has to travel over that segment, regardless of whether the ISP is working with transit networks or not. So whatever the difference supposedly is between Comcast and all the other ISPs, it isn't that. So what is the difference?

Yes, I believe that this is exactly what these corporations believe. They assume that the general public is too unaware of "how the sausage is made" to even know they are being duped. The average American, HN readers are not average, just want to come home from work to relax by not thinking. It's the same thing that happens when a network goes nuclear by pulling their content off of Comcast/DirecTV/etc. They count on the fact that average Americans just want the issue to go away so they can get back to watching Kardashians do what ever it is they do that make people want to watch.
