I don't see how this is different to all the pro net neutrality activism and lobbying going on, except that it's an opposition opinion. It also seems to play on the narrative that people who are against expanding regulation are no

After this, gamergate and the 'trader genius schoolboy with $72 million' people are going to have an even harder time distinguishing between reputable news outlets and the unverified junk people share on Facebook.

I can relate too, though my situation was also not that bad. Too poor to buy a computer, learned programming (BASIC mostly for the C64) from library books, and electronics from library books, and general details about PC hardware from maga

I actually thought the link was a practical joke until I looked at the comments.

I can't remember if it was pg's writings that I got this from, but this week I remembered reading a few years ago that recessions are a good time to start a startup, because the established players are less likely to spend on new

You are very lucky. I had a script scrape that site (not sure if I broke their TOS) and send me an SMS about 5-10 minutes before a visible pass of something bright including Iridium flares, but I found that even if you know the exact time

I have found the way in the middle is to stick to the traditional things for the most critical work, things where the abilities and problems are well understood, until some of the new thing mature. Then, for less critical things that can r

The gambling thing is a bit different, normally it's the sites that cooperate like that so that they have a chance to be able to become a licensed provider in that country in the future. It's a strange trend in that industry that

You've been burned by Juju? I am curious, since it looks like it was a bit of a not-invented here GUI to facilitate things people would do with configuration management, without doing it like configuration management or even like pack

Something that also stands out to me from the article is the general negativity about implementations the author knows in-depth, and positivity about the implementations that he doesn't know that well and only read about. I think this

That's very common in industries dominated by hits, breakthroughs and inventions like entertainment, biotech or pharmaceutical. When you have a hit, you throw a big portion of the money you make from that at attempts to have another h

Having moved between developing and developed countries recently, I was reminded of what GDP in PPP misses. It's even cruder than how inflation is measured through CPI or RPI. In one country it might be cheaper to get services that d

The same was said about Japan when it was on the up.

I think since it has gained exposure through a public statement by the president, the business news has started to take interest in it. Now a lot of sense is starting to get expressed on the matter. The FT also had a good opinion piece re

It's really nice to read that this sort of thing is being done. I believe technology can be a great enabler to create new low and semi skilled jobs, or improve current jobs. House cleaning and related duties I always felt has great p

Now, that is a serious pet peeve of mine, especially when things break later because people forgot they modified their hosts file.

It's interesting how taxi brokers are also like other fads and people will align to them according to their own values. Since before Uber there are many taxi companies with their own Uber-like service and taxi brokers similar to Uber.

I share that skeptical feeling. It's always been a common technique to bounce an attack on US servers through servers in a foreign country that doesn't speak English much and doesn't have the best relationship with the US.

One of the problems with the open borders is that the younger people are moving, leaving countries with an already stagnant economy with an even greater aging population issue.

Very nice. It also gives me the impression that people in the West End are certainly more angry (or have free time to be angry on twitter) during office hours than those in the City.

I worked at a pretty large bank (one of the biggest in the world and US) and I was working with MongoDB there. It was for a non critical reporting system for a configuration management tool.

You probably learned a bit of the Germanic and Latin languages from a youngish age and many of it at school and over many years. It would help you to try learning some Mandarin just to realise how hard it is to learn for a very long list o

I've been quite happy with UDP lately. I set up a prototype log analysis system and just to get testing quickly I just sent the CSV log data as is over UDP between servers. It works so well that I still haven't bothered to swap

I was working at a company that bought an SGI Challenge XL (I think for well over $100k). It was between 1-2 years after they bought it that we wanted to upgrade to a faster ethernet interface, but that would cost us around $3000. Instead

The earliest material in my e-mail archives that I can find about Net Neutrality dates from 2006. Things like this: "Major telecommunications companies are spending millions lobbying the U.S. congress to make the Internet into a priva

Interesting. I also prefer saccharin, but I have to specifically buy my own to keep at home and the office. Everywhere else seems to, nowadays, have sucralose (more so) and/or aspartame (less so). This is in the UK, Ireland and Sou
