From what I understood, once you start needing to collapse threads, you're already at the threshold of "more comments are detracting from the quality," or that was the theory, anyway. I'm almost certainly misremembering

I recall vaguely that one of the reasons for not allowing collapsable comment trees in the past was related to the desire to make it difficult to continue comment trees, which was a good thing (more comments is generally bad, beyond a point

This might be part of your struggle, perhaps, as those kinds of things ("product did x y and z, I wrote it by myself, it's still in use", etc.) fall into the "solved a problem" category (valuable, don't get me

This is super important research, due to what the article calls, "low security threshold and high passenger count". I wish the research results would be given to the public, though I understand why we won't see the results fo

Sounds to me more like the Apple Vs. Google "ecosystems". Sure, Google has a Play store and a competing OS, but it's not like you can't find Chrome in the iOS store.

Has anyone in your position ever written to say, "Meh, not optimistic about this"? Just saying, there's a bit of bias that's probably worth recognizing.

The topic was McDonald's being used as community centers in poor neighborhoods.

Throttling and peering (or not peering) are not the same thing. You said they were. You were/are wrong. This ruling upholds the FCC's prohibition on throttling content. If throttling and (not) peering are the same thing, then Comc

I don't know if this would be some kind of libertarian wet dream, but I wonder if there's value in taking some of the underlying reasons McDonald's is working for this purpose, and trying to emulate them in existing infrastru

I have... zero self doubt. Any "I can't do this" anxiety I get is related to my lack of prep-time, not my concern for my aptitude. I believe I can accomplish anything, given some time and practice. Does this mean I'm a

Sorry, numerousness or locality are not criteria for removing a person's right to expression. A needs to learn to tolerate B, basically. A isn't performing surgery, A is trying to write comments on HN.

What costs money, a community center? Well yes, community centers are literally buildings, and as such, have expenses. Most US communities still have them, however, so it's probably not the money that's preventing them from exist

Again, no. You continue to conflate your ideology with what this ruling actually did. This ruling was specific, and its specific nature did not preclude Comcast from continuing to enter into paid-for peering agreements with Netflix.

by dimino 10y ago
This has all been in an effort to answer the question, "Will Comcast be forced to peer with Netflix without having Netflix pay as a result of this ruling?" and the answer is no. Comcast will continue to be able to charge Netfl

This isn't reddit, no need to meme, and I meant the royal "you". When one brings up one's parenting strategy, it becomes topical.

by dimino 10y ago
Sorry, I meant to imply the larger question, "Why aren't community centers offering this?"
356.
by dimino 10y ago
That's what throttling is, yes, but that's not what Comcast did, so it's not really relevant to this conversation. That's also not at all what peering agreements are.

Sorry friend, but when you told a story about how you parent your kids, you put your parenting within the purview of the topic. There is nothing sacred about your parenting that makes it above scrutiny. Nothing whatsoever.

No, because putting someone on a 100mbps pipe is not throttling them. Limiting that pipe to 50mbps is, however, throttling, according to the definition given by Wikipedia, and the definitions given by the FCC and upheld in court today.

by dimino 10y ago
Yes, that's true, but again, this is all very different from throttling. The person I replied to asked if Netflix is able to stop paying Comcast. I responded that, since refusing a peering agreement is not the same as throttling, the
