Comcast simultaneously claims that some of their own VoD services -- services delivered via your cable modem, through your router and home wifi network -- don't count, because they're part of your cable service, not the internet, so they're allowed to treat them differently.

It depends on your browser support requirements. On the Brackets project[1], we work within Chromium (and "modern browsers" with our in-browser branch), so we can rely on web workers for doing things like parsing JavaScript for autocompletion.

Web workers are quite useful and I'm sure there are a fair number of webapps that take advantage of them.

> There's a real question here: could Google keep shareholders happy if Fiber was a standalone business?

This right here is a really good reason why Internet service needs to be Title II'd.

If the primary concern surrounding what is now an incredibly vital piece of the communications infrastructure is, 'how do we keep shareholders happy', then our priorities are fucked.
Well I suppose it is a promotion, a 1 year deal for $90.
Its easy to say that its not that big of a deal from a perspective outside of MDM. I recently graduated college and started working as a developer for an MDM provider. Its very hard to say that this news is not that big of a deal. Most likely, this is completely right and it is not a big deal. Apple will use it to 'partner' with IBM and sell some more product.

If they do a serious partnership, maas360 could quickly become the leading MDM provider. This would change the face of a developing industry. This influences several of the big players in tech. VMWare, Samsung and even google will have to see where this goes and decide how to react.

Thanks for your feedback. If it helps to know, the Q&A format on the homepage is the result of scratching my head for a while, thinking "How would I explain this to somebody? There's a lot to it, and it's all immediately relevant."

I eventually convinced myself that the last part isn't true. It could be disclosed in parts. So I decided to run the scenario in my mind instead: "I'll give somebody this library and imagine that they'll reveal their use cases one piece at a time and I'll help them through it." Then the conversation flowed naturally and came out while typing.

Wow, this is fantastic. After a couple years of heavy use, I abandoned GWT during the lost-its-marbles insanity of MVP and and what appeared to be a concerted effort to give GWT all the grace of EJB2.0. I still miss GWT-RPC, dead code detection, static typing, and the sane deployment model. GWT3 could bring me back.

One thing that always bugged me though is the mismatch between Long and JS numbers. GWT is trying to be pedantically accurate with numbers, which is great from a "compile Quake and see it run on the client" perspective but incredibly annoying when trying to interop with native JS code. Many of my ids are numbers; I need these numbers to easily convert to JS numbers - and yes, I do actually know that they will fit within JS precision. Does GWT3 fix interoperability between Java Long and JS Number?

Using the analogy of the books you are raising the price in the milliseconds between the customer clicking buy and packets of that request reaching ebay's servers and all after the user has seen your price and stock availability a second ago. I don't think this acceptable business practice, if you have seen a price and a stock you should be able to place the order and (unless another order that isn't front running has arrived first to deplete the stock) the order should be fulfilled even if you show a different price to the next visitor to the product page.

I can sort of see that but I don't quite understand why there are different exchanges. I can't see the benefit except to those for whom it is an arbitrage opportunity.

I would also expect there to be low cost systems by which you could place simultaneous orders on all exchanges (at the cost of a slight delay in the order starting to allow them all to be posted at the same time as the furthest one.

The HFT still seems to add little real liquidity. The spreads that are shown may be narrower but the real spread seems much higher.

I propose someone sponsors a bill whereby any voting software used to count votes by the public must be open sourced and have several signatures (md5, sha1, etc.) which each voting center must verify before deploying it.

The voting centers would just have generic computers (perhaps with special peripherals for voting) which would load the software from a file and they could verify the signature of the file. There could be software that does this automatically. Such as the Apple app store.

That way, if any data centers detect an anomalous signature, they'd report it and it would raise a stink.

This is similar to the Apple App store except instead of Apple owning the ecosystem it would be their government. There are even better ways without all this crap -- either use an existing App Store from Google or Apple (or all) or have a browser extension and distributed app store from a distributed social app platform ;-)

Comcast is supporting having their competitors being bound by net neutrality. Comcast already is, due to the terms of the NBC merger. So they want their competitors to “suffer” similarly.

And they don’t want mobile to impinge on the fixed-line market, so they support NN in mobile, too.

A good analogy is WalMart supporting a minimum wage. They support it because it hurts their competitors (local Mom & Pops) more. [1]

Remember regulation isn’t “rules of the road”. It’s an input into a complex system.

One thing I liked with Railscasts was its length. On average, a video fit between 7 and 14 minutes. GoRails seems like a great resource, but with some videos approaching 30 minutes long, it's hard for me to justify sneaking a peek while at work.
Great to have someone pick up the baton from Ryan Bates - I've missed RailsCasts! It looks like you've released quite a number of episodes in a short space of time, so great you have a reasonable base to build on. Not wanting to suggest you slow down, but perhaps you might work on building up a backlog, then release on a regular cadence. That way if you can't produce an episode one week, you'll still be able to release a new episode.

Comcast, most cable companies have DOCSIS 3 infrastructure, and depending upon network layout can increase speed by merely "flipping a switch". They protect profits by metering bandwitdh to the minimum possible units, and they protect themselves from competition by offering better service only when competition arrives in a market.

This will never happen even if it does pass the ballot measure vote. By the US Constitution (Article 4, Section 3, Clause 1 [1]), new states require both the consent of the state legislature (which currently has Democractic majority) and the US Congress (which currently is completely disfunctional). Never mind the internal fights that would happen over water rights. I think you are more likely to see California ruptured by science-fiction level earthquakes before this happens.

Speed shouldn't be the factor for why this isn't acceptable. The seller doesn't know that there are orders in the queue for the eBay order, they're just raising the price. That they're doing it quickly is just a matter of efficiency.

> I can sort of see that but I don't quite understand why there are different exchanges.

Yeah. No idea there.

I was working with a recruiter while looking for a new position. He pulled a bait and switch on me where he pitched one job to me and then scheduled a phone interview with another. After that, I told him I would no longer work with him.

The reclassification of broadband services is primarily a legal issue.

Right now there is no specific integration into any BaaS.

A Realm database is just a (compact) file that you can send as you see fit. As most BaaS solutions has their own local storage and API it may not always make sense to integrate, except that you could easily store a small Realm file as a blob in any BaaS and transfer it remotely.

It will also really soon be possible to export some or all objects as json which you then again can send to remote services. That does however take up much more space/bandwidth compared to Realms compact data format, but could be needed if you want to persist remotely in another database format.

Story about Update software
We don't. I remind every group that tries to automate voting in my province that on election day somebody is going to denial of service the system to use it as an attention seeking platform which will just force a physical vote anyways. Other ideas floated like blockchain decentralized voting are also impossible since none of us can run a trusted personal device to vote with, and plenty of voters have no access or don't want access to phones or any other devices. Worse, every couple of elections there's some sort of scandal where a foreign "politically exposed person" has been caught propping up local candidates or outright fielding their own puppet to seemingly unimportant elections like the parks board so they can reap real estate or resource mining benefits. Imagine what kind of havoc a foreign state could wreak on an electronic voting scheme.
