Ask HN: What are your views our Net Neutrality?
I am from India. And currently we Indian Citizens are protesting against Anti Net Neutrality practices followed by our telcos and for a Net Neutrality law.

I want to know what are your views about Net Neutrality?
What do you think about internet.org or airtel zero plan? Do you think they break the Net Neutrality law?

If you are from US please share how exactly Citizens of US forced government to pass Net Neutrality law.

Currently Indian Citizen on Social Media are protesting against Airtel Zero[1], Internet.org (Facebook) [2] and are mailing TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) to pass a Net Neutrality Law.

The current problem in India is we all are protesting individually. I want to know how citizens of US got united for the single mission.

About Me: I have experience creating single-page applications using AngularJS and some familiarity with Backbone and React. I’ve also integrated modular, restful servers using Node.js and Express to handle heavy API integrations while drafting scalable schemas for MongoDB. Furthermore, I’m well versed in Test Driven Development as well as Git & Gulp for maintaining an agile workflow.

I’d love to chat with your engineering team about the technologies they’re using, and how they might move forward with the appearance of new tools like React.js and Angular 2.0.
It shows you haven't done anything worthwhile for 14 years(!). If you have to pad your CV out with stuff you know won't be relevant, then you're in a weak position professionally (or are just too lazy to update your CV, which might be worse).

A lot of older employees (late 40s or 50s) make this mistake. They leave experience on their CV which is not relevant because it is twenty or more years old, and then wonder why they struggle to find work.

Look, someone somewhere might legitimately want an SCO Unix expert or something to migrate them from Netware or NT 4.0 but in those rare cases customise your CV to put that experience back on, rather than making it the default for a lot of businesses that just don't care.

This video [0] of a bird strike on a 757 always makes my heart beat faster.

For the first time, I just counted the timing. Bird strike is at ~10 seconds. Pilot waits until ~20 seconds to call "Mayday". Only at ~32 seconds does he shut down the damaged engine.

If the Taipei pilot had taken the same time to get his bearings before acting, everyone might have survived.

In terms of the value of training, I love how cooly the air traffic controller responds to the Mayday.

I disagree that private ownership of payment processors means the government is losing control of it's currency. I see Visa, MC, and banks in general as an abstraction of the dollar rather than a replacement for it. When I use a card or bank wire to transfer money I'm still technically sending dollars from one entity to another.

Since the gold standard has already proven to be too unstable, and cryptocurrencies haven't proven to be stable enough yet, I believe the only competition for the dollar is other nations' currencies. And determining which nation's currency will be the world standard is typically based on who has the strongest military and economy.

Synopsys - Marlboro MA (Boston area) - Full time | Intern - C++ routing tool - New graduate / Master degree

Not typical employer on HN, but since I am a long-time reader, I suppose some readers may be interested.

The ZeBu [1] backend team, working on compiler for the ZeBu emulator, is expanding fast. The routing team is looking for people excited by challenges: routing is NP-hard, and performance is king. Improving routing quality and compile time by proposing new ideas, implementing them, constitutes the bulk of the work.

We are looking for people with creativity, very strong in algorithms and data-structures, excellent communication skills (team is global). Previous knowledge of routing a bonus. Relocation required.

bullshit. you always need visual confirmation of your target by a human. no matter what foe-friendly system you implement, it's down to visual range ID. you simply can't do this better than strapping someone in a fighter. you can't do this without high power to weight ratio and tight turning radius for dog fighting scenarios.

we are seeing revitalization of McNamara's failed Standardization policy in all fighter. The very fact that completely different plan designs came out for different theaters and purposes show this. A-10 for low flying, heavy, armor shelled plane. Tomcat that withstands naval capatapults and fly long range with good fuel efficiency (variable swept wings), and eventually the Hornet vs. using naval F-16 or F-15

The laws put in place are not stupid -- they are put in place to protect both riders and drivers against well-known market failures such as information asymmetry and market-for-lemons [1,2].

>Besides the tax benefits there are a lot of other things to like here.

How does the tax work? It's part of US territory, so are you paying your income tax to the US as you usually would while earning in the US?

Or are you resident there and your earnings subject to taxes in PR? Aside from that, as a US citizen are you not still obliged to pay the IRS the taxes on a certain amount of earnings made outside the US?
The protocol itself is much cleaner, but I'm not aware of any recent benchmarks.

Compare https://ericvh.github.io/9p-rfc/rfc9p2000.html vs https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5661
There's a world of difference between what Github did, and the hypothetical where AWS chose a proprietary protocol to access a filesystem. For AWS, as long as the underlying filesystem was "more or less POSIX", the access mechanism is largely irrelevant to lock-in; it would be as easy to switch from AWS as it would be to move between filesystems.

Git was not designed for large files. But what github released yesterday primarily serves to promote github's central-server model for git. Moreover, it seems that it could have been better done within the git protocol itself (modify git to do more sparse pulls, and then try to fetch on a checkout when it is missing blobs, rather than erroring immediately).

I suspect AWS chose to use NFS for expedience, the net effect is positive, but I don't think it would have much mattered anyway.

Github is trying to inject their own server-model into the git protocol, with an extension that is only half thought through; that is a huge step backwards, open-source or not.
It's on my reading list. Have read "Report to Greco" by Nikos Kazantzakis, and it's my favorite book of all time. Very deep, very touching, very thought provoking, and at the same time very simple, easy, and accessible.
In the current system most pro youtubers have patreons.
This one for cgp grey[0] for instance. You'll have explicit acknowledment of adblocks and plenty of options to pay directly the video producer.

I kinda think this is the only viable tradeoff, where advertiswr will always have the upper hand for wide public services, while creators will benefit from having a more tight knit core of viewers willing to pay for more convenience.

The deal youtube is offering doesn't garanteead free, while the creators aren't guaranteed signifiant revenue.

> Another straw man.

I said, I didn't have a lot of sympathy for hunters not being able to hunt. Then I clarified, I thought killing of animals should be justified, and gave specific examples of where I thought it was, and was not, justified. For the record, ecosystem management (population control), in the absence of better options, is a good justification for hunting in my eyes.

If the the animal population doesn't need management, do I think enjoyment of hunting or tradition justifies it? No.

> You seem to want to live in a world where animals live peaceful lives and die gently in their sleep.

That, there, is a straw man argument being set up. I haven't said this, and I believe my other responses around this topic have made that abundantly clear. Please don't put words in my mouth.

> Right now, the alternative to shooting them is to have them violently eaten by predators

Yep. So what? There's a reason for that. The life of the predator and the ecosystem as a whole works because of this process. I'm just not sure what I'm expected to believe hunting, for hunting's sake, is supposed to contribute.
If your architecture is amenable to storing files in S3, do. (And if it's a web app, ideally you'd serve them directly, via CloudFront.)

“The GNU Make Book”: probably more than you ever wanted to know about make
I had a time range in an earlier draft and dropped it once I realized how skewed my perception was as the author. A broad of a time range didn't seem very useful either.
It's surprising, given that you understand all that, that you object to hunting for food when that food is not strictly necessary. Even if you are not a subsistence hunter, it can still be good. The hunter can enjoy hunting, the department of fish & game can use the hunter to manage populations, the burden on industrial agriculture & farming is reduced...
So then who put idiots in charge of a $160B pension? And why did they do it?

The theoretical basis for banks is twofold:

1 - Connecting money providers and money users. This can play out in the big deals that you mention. They provide $2 billion in financing, and line up a bunch of investors on the other side. Additionally they fulfill this in trading securities.

2 - Taking short term money (deposits which can be withdrawn at any time) and funding long term debt (mortgages, long term bank loans). This can only be done by aggregating lots of suppliers of funds, and pooling them together.

I suspect that much of this can be crowd-sourced and disaggregated, starting at the bottom.
Banks are primarily market makers in the credit market. They borrow money (via deposits) and lend it out, earning money on the spread. If you want to earn a yield on your deposit, the bank will have to invest deposits, and this is not a simple process. Each investment requires separate handling, where the bank bases its offer price on the risks associated with that particular project. I'm not saying it can't benefit from some sort of automation, only that it's a non-trivial task, not easily automated. This is traditionally what banks do.

Of course, if the debtors-to-be can get better conditions elsewhere -- like a zero interest loan from Kickstarter -- they will go there.

But as long as people want to earn interest on their savings, there is a place for banks.
You ask for 3 years experience in building software. That's not someone at the beginning of his career, it's mid-level. And a quick google search shows that the average for C# developers in Dublin is €45,000. So your competitive salary is actually below the market.

Very interesting - also apparently the drug of choice for many musical performances as well. I've read that it doesn't necessarily calm your nerves, but rather prevents the all consuming fight or flight feeling from manifesting, ultimately curbing something like a panic attack.
I would see Lynda as being more valuable for specific software packages like Adobe Illustrator. Videos teaching programming don't really fit my learning model. I really need to build and tweak to learn. A walkthrough like on video seems better suited to software packages.

I'm about 40 chapters (~350 pages) through. I wouldn't say it gets better, or worse: I loved it from the beginning. If you aren't hooked by 100 pages, I'd put it down. However I'd recommend coming back to it later, maybe in a few years, try it again, see if you don't get more out of it.

Also, if you didn't read the Edith Grossman translation, try that, it is very smart and modern. The older translation feels a bit stuffy to me.
AFAIK it was fixed in XP SP1 and after user backlash they also released a patch for RTM.

It's a trade off. Clopper-Pearson can be overly conservative in many instances. I tend to use Jeffreys interval personally, which is a Bayesian method.

Brown et al. give a formal treatment of the subject with simulations showing actual coverage probabilities for the various methods. It is worth a read if you want to really dive into the subject.

I was a developer nearby, I never had such opportunities :P
I'm hoping to attract serious clients who value high-quality work.

I do have a little bit of a buffer. My client's site is also profitable, so they'll be able to pay me in the next few weeks. But I'll have to ease back the hours with them, so am looking for some more projects.
Your project is a very strong filter, both positively and negatively:

1. it will select coders who are very familiar with that exact same stack, and find your test trivial (good)

2. it will also select bad coders desperate for a job, who will google to death to eventually come to a solution, even though you would never hire those people (bad)

3. it eliminates good coders who have better things to do than fiddle with installing a different stack, etc. (bad)

Overall, as long as you get enough people from the first category, you win. If it turns out that you are having problems convincing people to take your test, think about category 3 again...
> As for an overpopulated animal, I imagine there must be a better way to deal with that than allowing people to shoot them.

A) Why do you imagine that?

B) Why do you think what you imagine is a fact that's relevant to this discussion?

Our imaginations suck. This is just a fact. We can imagine a dozen impossible things before breakfast, and then fail to imagine a dozen possible things after lunch.

This is why the discipline of science is so important: it forces us to test our imaginings before asserting they are interesting or relevant, at which point they are no longer just imaginings, but evidence.

To the question at hand, hunting is, on the evidence, one of the most efficient, most effective, most humane ways of limiting the population of wild animals. As well as contributing to conservation efforts financially, hunters are a tool used by fish and wildlife departments to limit populations that would otherwise face periodic catastrophic crashes due to disease and starvation. There are other ways this can be done, but they are in general more expensive, less effective, and less humane. It's hard to kill animals like deer, and the fact that there are people willing to pay for the privilege of doing it is a boon to wildlife management.
This would be big for us. When we initially looked at the problem of sharing or keeping a large number of files in sync, the prospects were dim. DRBD? etc. So we ended up using Gluster. Gluster has been temperamental at best. We've been able to move some data out and into elasticsearch, but not all. So, I've nudged my AWS rep and signed up already. Reliable NFS is good for me.
Salient points:

- NFS (v4).

- Supports petabyte-scale file systems, thousands of concurrent NFS connections.

- Automatically grows/shrinks in size.

- Multi-zone storage and access.

- $0.30 / (Gigabyte * month).

- (Not mentioned) Both Linux and Windows have built-in NFS clients.

And then the cron job (that only needs to work every few years) breaks and you find out about it after the fact when a user complains.
I don't know, is it? Maybe instead of introducing a new predator we reintroduce the old ones we removed? In in the absence of those, or if we are concerned about the outcome of reintroducing a predator, yes, manage them as needed, which may mean shooting them. Does that change whether I feel sympathy for hunters who hunt for enjoyment or tradition that no longer get to? Not at all. I see these as entirely different things.
What you are partly struggling with is known as Akrasia. Read "The Personal MBA" chapter 7 by Josh Kaufman.
That's what "changing a category" looks like. You build something that's worse on dimensions that existing customers care about, but better in areas that new, non-consumers care about. Because it's worse on all the existing metrics of performance, existing incumbents don't believe it's a threat until it's too late to compete.

The iPhone wasn't a platform until it had significant consumer adoption anyway...the App Store didn't open until nearly a year after launch. It turns out that being a hot fashion accessory and status symbol is actually more important for consumer adoption than speed of calling or texting.
