What I gathered is that this is just a way for malware to fetch additional instructions after already being executed through some unrelated process.

In other words, you've already been compromised, but the malignant code needs more instructions to continue effectively, so it fetches what appears to be an innocuous PNG file, which carries the instructions it needs.

My son - as many ADHD kids due to their lack of impulse control - had an extremely sweet tooth and it was just impossible to stick with the diet. Now, 3 years later, I have slowly managed to reduce his cravings and we could give it another try. thanks.

Interesting that Verizon and CenturyLink focused entirely on the fact that Title II regulations are old. I'm curious what the specific issues they have with it are; after all, there are plenty of old laws that still work fine.

It's become really hard to find any actual information or discussion though. Seems like every page I find is a bunch of bullet points either saying "Regulation will stop all innovation, drive ISPs out of business, and destroy the internet" or "If we don't regulate, Comcast and TWC will stop all innovation and destroy the internet." Sheesh...
Is there a source for the full text that doesn't involve subscribing? I seem to recall some comments in the past that there are sites that offer the full text of such studies.
> Half a year down the road we get asked for support because some things broke which would've been working fine had we taken the proper time to built them.

This seems to be so common. Almost every project seems to break or have issues at some point and the excuse is always the same: oh we didn't have time to do it properly. It makes me wonder if that is indeed always the case.
This leads to a question... are there projects that are done in enough time so that they won't break?
This is a fascinating concept: choosing the optimum training set for a "learner" when the true model is known. While the paper focuses on using the system to teach humans, I see the value in other cases where the training set would be expensive to acquire. Examples would include long-running simulations, such as protein folding, or where each example has a significant materials cost, like chemical testing. Clearly, generating 60,000 observations (MNIST) would quickly become cost prohibitive compared to carefully selecting training examples to optimize learning.

Defensibility for us: microbes we build, and the platform they form. Our software-driven engineering is significantly faster than the state-of-the-art: human's looking at metabolic maps. People will start building on top of our initial microbes and improving them. These initial microbes form the "platform" from which to enable more bioproduction apps.
Very interesting. Yes I agree these private communications can drive up prices.
That's reasonable, but it seems to be equivalent to creating a top-level function and associated global variable in other languages. Java's prohibition of those constructs necessitated the class wrapper, but doesn't appear to provide any benefits over another more generalizable method, namespacing.
Or the opposite: the amount of money a company makes per customer is inversely related to the marginal cost per product. Which, usually, negatively impacts product quality.

Another thing that influences that is economics of scale, and I fear that is what is more relevant, in this case: big players will drown out the small ones.

KFC is as expensive as a little mom & pop shop around the corner, but the quality is lower, yet the amount of advertising is higher.

I understand what you're trying to say, now, but when I look around me it does not apply. At all.

EDIT: PS: For the record: this is not about whether or not advertisement works, it's about the quality of advertised products versus non-advertised ones. Of course it works, as in, advertisement leads to more sales. But from a consumer point of view: do we end up consuming, on average, higher quality products in a world with advertising, compared to a world without?

Okay, as a Canadian with no dog in this fight, this seems to be a good thing for America. So I'm having a very hard time understanding the opposition.

The arguments for title II are pretty clear and logical. The arguments against include giving up personal freedoms (You live in America, you've been giving up most of your personal freedoms willing for the pack two decades) and this isn't one of them. There are some comments about the extra rules that no one has seen, but this is standard FCC practice. Lawsuits will bear this out. Then there are a lot of illogical arguments that don't hold up. Does anyone have a clear argument against this. My argument would be that there is no last mile access, so competition won't increase, so this is at best a half measure until we get either some disruption in the space, or they finally open up that last mile.

So what are the actual logical, non-fearmongering arguments?

Alton Brown is our guiding light for CookAcademy. (Our chef ironically also happened to be on Cutthroat Kitchen!)

Mark Bittman writes about the stages of learning how to cook and you are pretty advanced relative to others. Many of us haven't gotten to the point where we can realistically come up with ideas based on tastes because we don't know how they interact. Generalizing these ideas requires understanding how and why things work, which is exactly why Alton Brown is so useful to so many people. He breaks down the reasoning behind something so that you can generalize it the next time, or in a different dish, or apply a principle to something new altogether.
The aforementioned article about the Apple Watch talks of "heavy application use" and suggests it might only last 2.5 hours. If you read, for example, http://www.trustedreviews.com/iphone-6-review-battery-life-a..., it suggests "heavy use" of the iPhone 6 (at 50% screen brightness) yields about 14 hours of battery life. That's a pretty significant difference.

While it's easy to say "it's more compelling to do stuff on a phone than it is to do it on a watch, so you'll naturally use the phone more", that rather makes me wonder why I would bother buying the watch, especially when you actually need the phone as well.

Time will tell how people use these devices and whether the battery really holds up to a reasonable person's usage. And, of course, it seems likely (though not certain) that later generations will have improved battery life.

"virtually no competition"?

Title II was designed for phone-line utilities in the 1930s, where there really was a total monopoly: you either got service from your single phone company, or not at all.

For broadband, most Americans had not one but zero options 20 years ago.

Now, most have 2 or more wired options (cable and DSL), and 3 or more cellular-wireless options. Some have extra fiber, cable, or DSL options. Some have other wireless options in the unlicensed spectrum. (Most people have more broadband options than smart-phone OS options; should the iOS/Android be federally-regulated as a software utility?)

There are certainly places where the options are too few and too expensive. But that's a local issue, often created by correctable local government errors. To say there's "virtually no competition… for most" is a false claim lacking perspective.

Based on that false impression, Title II puts every ISP, even where there is competition, under federal-review rules designed for the single-provider telephone monopoly of the mid-20th century. Utility-style regulation tends to lock-in incumbents: it doesn't expand competition or options, but rather gives up on competition, and just tells the presumed-permanent "monopolist" what to do.

As it was a crossover study (1 week with gluten or placebo, 1 week gluten free, then 1 week with whichever they didn't have the first time), it is likely they were aware that they would be receiving either gluten or a placebo (and that they would be receiving the other alternative in the next phase of the study).
Nope. Worth doing ?

The ability to do this is not a reflection of your ability to think creatively but rather that you need to understand why you're using certain things and what effect they will have on your dish.
That's what I thought, too. Not really straight forward.
Actually, it's really great! Because it allows people who have an observable intolerance to gluten to eat food. That's a nice thing, isn't it?

What's unfortunate is your dismissal of (scare-quoted!) gluten free food as a health fad, but so it goes.

2) build a few decent schools

3) improve subway

4) deregulate high raise buildings

cory doctorow has made a similar argument about copyright and the absurdity of one-size-fits-all:

And the pedestrians aren't buying it: they hear that they need a law degree to safely quote from their favourite TV show and they assume that the system is irredeemably broken and not worth attending to at all.

That is mostly a technology issue. There is a maximum bitrate at which the transmission line can support for a given distance. To get past that, they have to start dragging fiberoptics to nodes they build closer to your house. Before you hit that speeds, protocol upgrades were giving you faster speed.

And I wouldn't say "very select regions." At least a quarter of the country live in areas with FTTN or FTTP networks deployed by the telecoms.

I second this advice. A slow cooker is really ideal for your use case and can have some dramatically amazing results.

Still, you can't slow cook something like a pan-sautéed chicken breast. But many people, particularly single people, simply don't want to expend the effort for the reward. I have no problem with that; been there, done that.
I'm with you on this and will hungrily lap up any advice on the subject.

That was my concern too, but I guess the only difference will be you'll have to block a bunch of scripts and images instead of blocking just one flash file.

Why does it matter that Flash persist if it's being converted to html5 on the fly anyway? By the way, the swiffy service Google offers has a extension to Flash (the authoring tool) so it can output html5 directly.

> I had no idea NYC was _that_ bad

It's worse if you don't have time to deal with the ghettos of craigslist and zillow and hire a broker to help find you an apartment. Their fee is usually 10-15% of annual rent -- and that's on top of the three month deposit.

Some places will allow without the 50x income requirement, but only if you have a qualified guarantor. Some places have a 70x requirement, others a 40x. 50x is pretty usual, though. If you have less than impeccable credit, you'll need a guarantor.

A lot of that is because it is _really difficult_ to evict a tenant in NYC. NYC has some of the strongest tenants rights laws in the country.

> But that seems impossible for a community to maintain a sustainable workforce.

This is why there is rent stabilization (landlords are prevented, on stabilized units, from raising the rent more than a set -- small -- percent each year, unless vacant or substantial renovations are made). There are people living in units in my building that are very likely paying less than 20% of what I pay, because they've been there for years and years and years. And I'm fine with it, because if my rent increased at the same rate my building's value has appreciated, I'd be seeing 60%/yr increases in rent (my building was sold 3 years ago for 6M; last summer it was sold for 8M).

> How do commuters even afford to cross the bridges and tunnels?

Most commuters don't cross the bridges and tunnels - they pay a low-ish monthly fee ($112, though if you are older than 65 or have a qualifying disability, you get a reduced rate of $56) to use the subways at an unlimited rate.
there's no such thing as a feature test on the server side.
It is fairly clear on the GitHub repositories.

It's not a reimplementation but a gradual publish of existing code, upgraded to meet the required standards (some of it was not written with being open in mind).

WPF will not be available on non-Windows platforms. That has always been the case and will remain so - it has a far to deep integration with the OS for it to ever be platform independent and a reimplementation would be an absolutely ginormous effort.

The thing is, "net neutrality" arguments are not really about peering agreements. They are a consequence of a deeper, unfortunate reality: anyone who uses a packet-switched network to emulate a circuit-switched one is in a state of sin. Streaming applications like to pretend that they have a dedicated circuit connection to their peer, whether that peer is a centralized service like Netflix (or their CDN provider), or another end user's cable box or handset. That's not the case, but we have to maintain the fiction that it is, and treat packets that are part of a Netflix stream just the same as transient ones to or from Twitter.

Just how to preserve this unnatural state of affairs is what is being debated. If we don't understand this fact -- if we create laws or technical standards that favor one type of packet over another -- we risk foreclosing all sorts of interesting and valuable applications in the future that no one has even imagined yet.

So no, I don't think it's a good idea to promulgate standards that work well with transient messages and datagrams but not streams. If that's true of LTE Direct (and I'm not familiar with the spec, so I don't know if it is), then that's a problem. We've already baked that behavior into the architecture of the Internet itself, and it's only going to become a bigger issue as time goes on.
> Thank you. I think this is sufficient grounds for me to avoid wasting any of my time arguing with you.

Conversely, has anyone managed to change your mind here in this thread?

Probably not...

The point of good argument isn't to convince the other party they are woefully wrong and everyone should just eventually come to the same conclusion.

Some debate for sport/fun, others to make a point. In the end a good debate serves to strengthen one's own ideals via plugging of logic holes poked by the opposite party. Occasionally someone may change their viewpoint -- but only someone with a very strong ego would believe their sole argument was so compelling...

If you surround yourself in an echo chamber, it's easy to believe your viewpoint is the only correct one.
You ad hominem attack aside, whatever wording may or may not be in the regulations will not matter near as much as how things will actually be implemented, and how these implemented changes will affect us all here on the web.

For example, there are 1000's of crazy laws on the books here in the US. Plenty of websites document "laws" like "it's a misdemeanor to walk your dog on Sunday within 100 feet of a church"

Since no police actually enforce these type of laws, the wording in the statue goes unnoticed...no one cares.

But if they did, all hell would break loose and the current local officials would probably quickly change them.

That is the gist of the direction I was trying to take.
It's pretty common for Americans to argue against things that are actually good for them. The dis-information campaigns funded by billions in contributions are very good at convincing people universal healthcare, etc. would actually be bad.

Of course, every other developed country knows the truth.
Maybe it's hard to measure what exactly is the 1 thing. In my typical day in my early stage project, I still have to code a few hours per day in addition to managing design work, doing initial marketing strategy and testing some campaigns, talking to customers, investors and mentors and making lots of decisions.

I still spend around 40mins in stuff from my previous startup which I'm not officially in operations anymore, but still have to help with some things.

On top of all that, I created a side project and built a team to run it and will be doing only mentoring, and this can be a great help to my oficial project.

So, I'm not saying this is the ideal setup... Of course a lot will change once the company starts to grow and we are able to hire more people, but I can say at the end of the day I'm pretty happy with my production and already thinking about the next day of work.
No, that just shifts the burden onto every website instead of onto the few browsers. If they render differently someone needs to fix their browser rather than everyone has to build sites that work both ways.
It's a shame Android is still stuck on Java pre-8, as your Java example could be nearly as consise as the c# with Java 8.
3 months isn't a long time.

I think one way to build up intuition is to cook a recipe with a very short list of ingredients multiple times, with small variations (like the size of cutting things up or cooking time or whatever).

One thing Good Eats consistently does is talk about whether an ingredient has a functional purpose in a recipe, and what that purpose is. Other cooking resources do that too, but usually not as well.

By the monopoly phone provider's logic, it did "get better" after it was reclassified.

(This is where AT&T switched to "Uverse" fiber-to-the-neighborhood network, with speeds up to 40+mbps. And since that's an "information service", no other companies are allowed to use it to sell internet, even though it's literally the same phone line as DSL, with almost identical technology and performance seen in other countries faster DSL services)
In my case, I can't have had any severe gluten issues (at least not intestinal ones) until age 37.
