I would imagine that an absence of neutrality is still well within Cisco's interests — its an opportunity to design and sell a whole new class of products and services specifically around throttling and limiting traffic.

We should not be quick to assume that the absence of a company from the list means they agree with Wheeler's plan.

I wonder how many visitors of HN, like myself, sometimes forget that there's all of the Y Combinator stuff going on behind it...

As an interesting aside, Australia's taxation department, the Australian Taxation Office, provides a completely free piece of software each year called e-tax ( http://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Lodging-your-tax-retu

Potentially true, though I would imagine it depends on the size of the initial pool. Otherwise, if its small, I think you'll see bias in the selection of the early members which will carry forward.

Economically speaking, everything is a scare resource. But more importantly, a unused domain does not cause any damage, as say a derelict house would. I don't find the metaphors compatible.

How would you go about preventing elitism from creeping in, given its self-curating nature?

Fascinating read, but it feels like a good third of the article was the author self-importantly talking about himself. You could fairly skip to the first heading, "The Set-Up", and not lose a single bit if insight.

I thought GA was tied to specific domains; wouldn't GA not track MLB.com traffic?

That's brilliant! (reminds me; wasn't there a blog that was published in HTTP headers once?)

ImageOptim also bundles PNGOUT, which I find to have exceptional compression when compared to the others (but it is a bit slower)

Interesting thought, but you've completely misunderstood the specifics of corporate personhood. Personal privacy is not reserved for incorporated entities at all.

Maybe because HTML5 video still has fractured codec support, which means every video, in every resolution they provide, needs to be encoded in at least WebM and MP4 using H.264 (which is a licensing drama in itself) -- including video ads.

Has got to be either low priority or technical limitations. I guess a Linux port of Portal 2 isn't likely to provide returns anywhere close to PC sales, so it may not have been approach furiously by Valve. I also wouldn't be surpr

The choice of type conveys a lot about a brand, lets not forget that.

It might be, but sadly and more realistically, the costs of a completely fair and honest dispute would still be incredibly inhibiting.

Two things: 1. Isn't the Content-Range header for partial files (not sets of files). Since the spec seems to define it in terms of bytes, not arbitrary items. 2. I'd imagine you couldn't bookmark or share URL's using thi

You might have more luck getting this to work than animating SVG files; which doesn't work in any IE version, and has issues in Safari and iOS Safari, and old versions of Android (Pre 3.0, but damn, they are everywhere).

I think you're mistaken. The first example is only ~700 bytes in size. Show me an animated GIF, with those dimensions, that many frames (to maintain that level of smoothness), for under 700 bytes? (HTTP overheads are not factored since

If your coding your CSS by hand, without tools like SASS\LESS, I would say you don't actually have much of a workflow.

Uh, shouldn't you use the most appropriate type available to describe your data, since that will simplify the process if you ever need to migrate to a different DBMS?

I'm not sure how it was developed, but its popularity is credited to Jack Welch, who introduced it to General Electric in 1980. In doing so, GE experienced a "5-fold increase in revenue": http://en.wikipedia.org&#x
