Yes, because it means treating packets different based on their contents. In this case, the contents are some header flag. Is it harmful to the internet? Yes, because it promotes winners and losers. Not just from the consumer perspective. M

"resolved on an individual basis" like Netflix paying ISPs to not throttle their traffic? Part of the problem is that telecos are too large. Over the last 25 years we've seen a consolidation of companies into a few large tele

Depends where you live, and what you farm. In the case of e.g. cereal crops in the north, there are 4-6 months where you can do little beyond some maintenance, buying/selling equipment, planning next year's crop, etc. that means t

There are at least 2 trains running southbound service to MV at 6 minute intervals, 10 isn't uncommon either. 206: 6:05am and 208: 6:15am. (10min) 314: 6:59am and 216: 7:05am. (6min) 216: 7:05am and 218: 7:15am (10 min) and another set

I'm unconvinced by your arguments, while I can understand (and agree) with some of the points you're making, I don't think it's as cut and dry as you make it. CalTrain is $7.70 from MV to SF[0], not $33/person (or $

So you're 500% more likely to have schizophrenia when first-degree relatives are more involved. Another book cited by the wiki page claimed that 13% of people with one parent, and 50% of people with both parents, are likely to have sch

This is actually not too uncommon. Natural phenomena like hurricanes, tsunamis, etc are very good at keeping the diversity of ecosystems fresh. Parts of the southern Pacific Ocean are, by and large, a wasteland--not a lot of life in the wat

It is trivial to obtain the size of objects, so long as you have some information about a satellite orbiting it. It's how we get the mass of many interstellar objects, and it's how we know that dark matter exists. http:/&#x2

My experience across Canada is any restaurant (Quebec/Maritimes I can't speak for), is that all restaurants, of any size, will ask you if you want split bills. In fact, if anything, the small places that do their cheques on paper

the US takes in $1.947B in income taxes per year. there are 330,000,000 people. So, every man, woman, and child is on the hook for about $6,000 in taxes. How is it fair that a low-income family of four makes $40,000 combined and pays $24,00

Being from Canada, I actually prefer the 1 and 2 dollar coins, for the following reasons: - vending machine transactions are far less temperamental (bill readers suck). Also far fewer trips to the bank for quarters for washers/driers.

I'm not really sure I agree. I think the eras you've chosen are pretty contrived. If the gimmicks that "muck up the same handheld" aren't worth anything, then the vita should have captured a large segment since it

Once a culture exists, it is very, very difficult to change, even (especially) if you get a new CEO or an acquisition, etc. It is true that if you are going to _attempt_ to change a culture, it must be motivated from top-down. However, plac

Pretty sure i've been attacked by Zed Shaw on HN before. He dismissed me as a person rather than bother with the argument I was making. Smart guy, sure, but it is difficult to pay attention to what he's saying at times.

People have been selling brands for long before Apple has been around. And the "brand," isn't the logo. It is everything that a particular entity means to you, which includes all customer service, sales, advertising contacts.

Why, pray tell, would Microsoft include a thunderbolt port, an apple standard, on their device? It had licensing issues before, not sure if it still does or not—wouldn't be surprised. I'd want a USB-C port before I'd want a t
