While your concerns are valid and should be discussed, I don't think they warrant backing down from supporting what Obama calls for here and what we've generally been calling for, reclassifying ISPs under title II. I'm not aware that being under title II gives them a requirement (explicitly or implicitly) or an incentive[1] to filter "unlawful" content.

I agree with GP that the issue of snooping is important but is an issue unrelated to net neutrality (other than that they both concern the internet).

[1] That is, an incentive greater than the pressure they've received in the past from law enforcement/the NSA/the CIA already.
Startups in london
Is there a list of start-ups in london looking for developers?
Even if you account for Valve Time, Steam OS seems completely dead, after Valve got what they wanted from MS. And I have a hard time believing a for-profit company would invest in development of an open product just because "open and libre is better for people than closed". Companies don't exist to make the lives of people good.

It turns out what you say is not true in reality, but it persists as the myth of individualism in the corporate workforce. It is simply false; it doesn't happen.

When you align the incentives, uncomplicate rewards, clearly guide people in the same direction toward clear and logical goals, and enable them to do good work they can be proud of, all of that individual infighting and politics goes away.

You can still compensate people fairly for their contributions as measured simply and clearly as "contribution to the success of the company," there's absolutely no reason not to; you just remove the complex measurement and competition that results in the opposite of the desired goal. Simplify.

This is well-understood stuff. It is not new. It resulted quite directly in the success of the Japanese economy after WWII, driven by the teachings of statistician W. Edwards Deming.

We, as Americans, ignore it because of the persistence of myths like the one you mention. Because of our fixation on individual gain and protection, and on a pervasive belief in the incompetence and dishonesty of our fellow man. We fail to see the truth: that the failures around us are a result not of poor individuals, but of systems which surround them and stop anyone except a few unicorns from being able to be effective.

Yes, running wires to homes is expensive. By making it less lucrative and tying the hands of those that build those wires, you're not exactly encouraging competition.

I'd imagine if ISPs abused this rent-seeking, companies like Netflix and Google would actually become interested in building out their own infrastructure. However Netflix would be less inclined to do so if it were not able to favor their service over competitors.

One decision is to treat ISPs like a public utility which is where I think the US is heading. In my experience, though, services brought to me by the government are often lack-luster.

You are confusing price with value. Water is much more common than the essential amino acids and costs much less and is far easier to replace, but food and water are both required to keep living.
The worst implication I see find (reading between the lines and via the graphs) is that our middle class consists of only 9.9% of the population. By subtraction, the middle class holds around 56% of the country's assets.

So our middle class is indeed shrinking but also moving towards being upper class.

Communications industries are different, and too important.

More important than shelter, food and energy? We draw a line as to what the government should provide/subsidize/control and what the private sector provides in those sectors.

The information they carry is, like journalism, a 4th estate to democracy.

If the 4th estate is a check on government, why would we want the government to decide what constituted it? Please don't conflate a first amendment issue with this conflict between content providers and ISPs.
We have turned humans, largely, into much more rational beings than they were in the past. Education and progress does do that, most clearly. There is always human nature, but in the most educated societies, you see a completely different behavioral state.

It seems like more common is to start obsessing about how to retain your wealth, pass it on, grow a fortune, leave a legacy, etc. You replace one obsession with another, and that's really not surprising. An obsessive person will always find something to obsess about. Money isn't going to fix a poor perspective on life.

In the US, at least, it's something that we're actively fighting

Are we really, thought? At least at any meaningful scale? A handful of geeks on HN, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and Slashdot isn't much of a resistance. Do you perceive that people who care about this issue have mobilized in sufficient quantity and enthusiasm to do something meaningful, like influence election outcomes?

It's good that at least some of us care, but just chattering with each other here probably isn't going to accomplish much.
So are you saying that most people would think its nuts to spend so much on a fastener?
This Week in Rust 56
"First, it is commonly believed..."

And why do these common beliefs exist?
As per usual with all politicians, these are just words. Nice words, but until a bill is passed and there is movement in the senate to make something like this closer to a reality, words are meaningless.

My question to Obama is: why now? This whole net neutrality debate has been going on long before Obama started his first term of presidency, why wait until you are almost out of the White House to act upon something as important as this? He has had six years to act on this. Could it perhaps have anything to do with the fact the Democrats took a heavy blow recently with Republicans being popular with the voters in the recent election? Is Obama merely trying to save some face with the voters for his party to mitigate risk at the next presidential election?

Maybe, maybe not. It probably is not fair of me to try and make connections to speculative thoughts like that. I am passionate about net neutrality and it just feels weird Obama is going public on a subject like this not long after votes were casted.

But you know what? Either way, if Obama can get a bill deeming internet to be classified as a utility within the next two years, maybe he will leave behind a legacy that we talk of in the years to come. It might be six years too late, but if anyone can make something like this happen, it is the president.

I am aware that the FCC can change things without any bills needing to be passed and while I am speculating here, the FCC is not exactly known for being honest and transparent. An independent agency with some suspicious ties to lobbyists and corporations trying to protect their monopolies like Comcast. The issue here is the FCC can change things and should change things but ultimately will not change a thing unless the pressure is there from the right hands. Obama speaking up is great, do not get me wrong, but I think the likes of the FCC will need more than gentle words to start changing things. Action needs to be taken.

I simply refuse to believe that an agency can run itself to the point where it controls what can and cannot happen with something as important as the internet which in my opinion is a basic human right to have access to.
The standard economic and policy solution is local anti-monopoly regulation plus a nationwide free market. Laying fiber and cable is pretty expensive so it's likely the "local" scope will often include entire states.

This falls into the category of "free markets need to be regulated", which is the economic field's most important and most repeated caveat.
> What tools do you need?

A WebIDE that isn't focused on mobile? Not sure if this is already possible with WebIDE but the focus on mobile-first makes it confusing.

I do a fair amount of prototyping on WebGL and the web platform. However my current flow involves managing my project files, serving them to FF, and building the final bundle via a collection of third-party tools, libraries, and applications. I then run, test, profile, and tweak in FF.

It'd be nice to have a source editor and project manager built in. Give WebIDE an option to develop for desktop FF or something. Focus everything on live-coding: a DOM-enabled source editor could detect new nodes and tell the context to redraw the page; the debugger could highlight the source lines as I step through; the scripting engine can update the DOM-aware editor and highlight added nodes; I can connect source buffers to a namespace REPL to recompile and execute definitions on the fly.

Either that or add a chrome-less mode that allows me to embed FF inside my development environment and open up the remote APIs to allow for more interactive debugging, profiling, etc (eg: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WebKit)
Integrated Unit Testing, mocked after PHPUnit+Selenium.

Would love to be able to save scripted unit tests, preferably per URL. Right now it is a bit of a pain point with test suites in JS, PHP, etc... what if we want to switch to another language? It would be better if the tests were local to the browser, unhinging us from some of the language dependencies.
The big problem with shellshock is that the attack surface is found pretty much everywhere. The HTTP server attacks using the CGI environment (HTTP_USER_AGENT, etc) was only the most obvious way to exploit the bug. There is no way to predict all the ways a vulnerable bash could be exploited; we are going to see these attack for decades. Old firmware and poorly-maintained servers are just waiting for someone to find some clever trick that lets an environment variable be set remotely. I would guess that we haven't even begun to see the subtle ways shellshock can be exploited.

So yes, patch everything, or you are taking a bet that there will not be any sufficiently clever attackers in the entire future lifetime the server.
We have trained people to behave in a mode that appears rational, when examined from the framework of their culture. But that's always been true - even prehistoric people survived according to how well adapted their myths and behaviors were to their environment.

This may be slightly off topic but I think they should really clean up their addon store if they want to help with privacy. It takes forever for something to be available/updated in the store yet addons that log and report every page visited etc still run amok. I think rules should be much stricter or better enforced.
Before there are bills, there must be words.
What substantial government sanctioned monopoly does Comcast have? Can we point to something concrete rather than hand waving?

It's been illegal to grant monopoly franchises to cable companies since the mid 1990's. I don't know of a single market where Comcast is the only cable company because it has a sanctioned monopoly. There are a lot of places where Comcast has a de-facto monopoly because nobody else is willing to build high-speed service in a given area. But almost anywhere that's the case, it's because of telco-unfriendly regulations, not telco-friendly ones.

The people who rant about telcos can't get their story straight. They say Comcast has a legally protected monopoly, but then attack Verizon for not building fiber to the huge swath of places where the local governments are dying to get a competitor to the local telco. Their arguments are based on a false premise: that building fiber is profitable enough to justify the investment, and the government and telcos are getting in the way. The falsity of this premise is amply demonstrated when you look at places like New York, where the government has shoved the cable companies out of the way, but still has to drag Verizon kicking and screaming to build all this supposedly lucrative infrastructure.
This makes as much sense as a post titled "OJ Simpson: My Plan To Find The Real Killers".

Obama doesn't want a "free and open Internet", he wants a massive, distributed, ubiquitous platform for government surveillance.
The thing the fans of net neutrality don't seem to believe, is the notion that as the US Government gets more entrenched into regulating the Internet, they will regulate content as well. And that's exactly what will happen. It would take a complete lack of understanding of the modern US Government (say the last 40 years) to think they won't regulate content. They abuse every power they're granted to an extreme, in an ever widening spiral.

I appreciate the premise behind net neutrality, but all governments are not the same; if you give two different governments the same power, they'll use it differently. This is an extraordinarily abusive government, that just loves to silence people, they cannot be trusted to be hands off when it comes to controlling free speech online. It's best to keep them far away from such powers.
It's funny; I was just sitting here thinking about dropping software dev to become an anthropologist and then I run across this.

I agree so heartily. The tired trope endures: do we really want the innovations of the DMV applied to the Internet?

Is there a country that is regulating Internet in existence that is doing anything that we'd consider positive?
Why can't I use esc to dismiss the dialog? Why do arrows in menus also scroll the page? Is this because this is not pure CSS? Would this be a problem for accessibility?
I find it hard to take this sort of analysis seriously, when the authors admit that they don't even understand the order of magnitude of the error bars on the data.

Not to mention that the regulatory landscape has changed over time, and since that directly influences several classes of errors (from waiters under-reporting tips to "the 1%" hiding money in now-illegal tax shelters) estimating historical trends is an exercise in futility.

And we effectively have no way to benchmark how well these different studies are doing at measuring the underlying phenomena that they're trying to measure, this is really just making up numbers and calling it "wealth distribution".
Seconded. I still have the old iPhone. I wonder if reregistering and deregistering with the new tool will help or just make things worse.

This is only an issue for me because Apple made the arbitrary decision to make your iPhone functionally useless after a restore unless you insert a SIM. I still use my iPhone for dev. Guess what happened after a restore once I inserted my SIM? My iPhone automatically enrolled my phone number in iMessages. I spent months getting SMS working after switching to Android and I'm back at square one. This is antitrust level BS.

This is a good thing everybody. Lets see what happens going forward.
But words don't always lead to bills, and Obama's been talking about net neutrality since 2007, before his first election, and before he named a cable lobbyist to lead the FCC[0].

If these words do lead to a bill, then great! But OP's complaint is that he/she believes this to be unlikely, given past precedent.

Well, knowing this is intended to be just funny I have to point out a few things:

> All this from a country that was ordinary, believable, and dare I say it sometimes even sympathetic in previous seasons.

Germany was drowned in serious economic depression that was deep enough to trigger a huge social response. Plus we cannot forget about the humiliating Versaille Treaty.

> they instantly forget about all the racism nonsense and become best buddies with the definitely non-Aryan Japanese

Holocaust was not intended to wipe out all other races, only those that stood in the way. This includes Jews and Romani people for inhabiting "incorrect" lands, East European nations for inhabiting fertile lands. Hitler was happy to jump into one bed with Hungarians or Italians for example, although it is not obvious what would happen later had he won.

> Apparently we're supposed to believe that in the middle of the war the Germans attacked their allies the Russians, starting an unwinnable conflict on two fronts (...)

And Hitler was not far from taking over Moscow in 1941. Of course the failure of Operation Barbarossa was huge, but there was a point when Stalin must have been really afraid about the future his capital (end of July 1941, before Nazi troops diverted north for Leningrad and south for Kiev, following an order from the Furer himself; his generals strongly opposed this order).
Are you talking about reality here? Do you even have a meaningful way to quantify happiness (the one that you claim maps to a logarithmic relationship)?
> IANAL, but my understanding is that unlawful != illegal. "Lawful" means the subject is specifically addressed and permitted by law, and "unlawful" is anything else. So traffic can be legal, but not lawful.

Inasmuch as there is a distinction between "lawful" and "legal", but its pretty much the other way around. Both address conformity to the law, but "legal" focusses more on procedural, technical conformity. Something can be lawful (e.g., a contract for a non-prohibited purpose wherein non-prohibited performances are exchanged) but illegal (because, say, its a contract for a purposes for which the law requires certain procedures for registration, etc., of the contract, and these were not correctly completed.)

In the case of content in the US, an example might be commercial adult content where all the content standing on its own conformed to the law (so that it was lawful), but where the producers had not followed all the technical record-keeping requirements relating to such content (such that it was illegal.)
I have to echo this sentiment. Comparisons to print design do not hold up to event he most casual scrutiny.

FWIW, I was once a 14 year old who wanted to play games on Linux and needed to install non-free drivers to do so. Yeah, it confused me when I first encountered the concept, but it didn't deter me in the end.

I suspect that, once they're using Linux, a bit of friction isn't going to stop them. Rather, the friction stops them from successfully starting to use it in the first place.
Will see if that new version will bring us (web developer) anything helpful.
I haven't followed (and probably don't know nearly enough anyway) details of e10s, but their claim is contrary to your view:

> Lots of devs jumped on the linux train due to the promise of SteamOS but those efforts appear to have been largely wasted.
