I see a lot of comments deriding this law, can someone explain to me why these are bad things? Jeff Hammerbacher: ‘The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads… That sucks.’ Those best minds are now hav

Will this have any affect? I understand that nobody wants to make cars they can't sell in the state with the largest car market. However there is nothing to stop California from indexing new car registration fees to some sort of measur

In my state, their coverage is pretty bad if you spend any time in the outdoors. Comparing the coverage of google-fi and verzion and att on highways through the mountains, its very stark. I'm also curious how they will fare when 2 of t

Nestle did try to build a bottling plant near hood river a few years ago. They were going to draw water from a tributary that would have affected spawning salmon and steelhead. The county passed a ballot measure that no commercial water bot

The Hilarious thing in Oregon is some of the 'marketing' for this new rent control law stressed over and over that rent had grown 25% in Oregon over the last 4 years, so 'something needed to be done'. So they capped at

A former employer of mine tried to have redundant connections. They had two fibers from two different providers, going separate paths from their Dallas office, etc. However, the 2nd provider utilized a 3rd provider as a regional carrier.

Of course not. they will simply hire a brand new contractor that is made up of 90% of the leadership of the former one, at a much higher rate to 'reverse engineer' the software.

For GKE, in beta, you can tell the ingress to get a TLS certificate automatically. Google will manage the whole process. The weird thing is, it uses letsencrypt. Since Google has their own Root CA, that seemed like an interesting choice. [

My original Pixel has been running the beta for a while now, and its actually quite nice. I have not noticed any slowdown on the much older hardware.

Another option would be to revoke the companies charter in the state they are registered in. Basically, a corporate death penalty.

Peering ratio requirements are kind of a scapegoat. Especially in the case of an 'eyeball' network like Comcast. I have 250Mb down, and 10mb up. (I would love 50Mb up, I push a ton of docker images daily). Their circuits they se

They actually have events where you can spend the night on the sub at omsi.. Our cub scout pack has looked into it, but several of us parents are over 6' tall, and don't think we would fit on the bed.

I used to live 8 miles from Madison, WI (technically, one exit south of their beltline interchange on I-90). My ONLY two choices were 2mb WISP for $65/month, or 4g hotspot, and all of them were VERY expensive for over 15GB a month. (I

Not to mention, they can now go and ask that provider to pay them for the right to 'upgrade' their connection, to enable their customers to get what they are paying the ISP for.

Not every currency has a decimal amount. For example, there are no decimals in the Japanese yen. Not to mention then you need to translate that for all the currencies, {pounds: 60, <whatever a decimal of a pound is>: 00 }
