Let's say you want to start a new service called flerptube. You can do that today -- write the code, get the content, and put it up on AWS. Then it's up to the market to try out your product and make you king of streaming. You can

I completely agree with you, but I would put it into even stronger terms. Paid fast lanes are not an experiment worth performing, in the hope that ISPs pass the savings down to consumers. The ISPs have absolutely zero incentive to pass the

I don't have actual numbers on this, but it seems like most of the last-mile infrastructure was paid for using government subsidies. Essentially our congress handed out natural monopolies to these telecoms, subsidized by the taxpayer.

Well, I think that we would all benefit from a level playing field. I think that the end-state of a non-neutral network is that ISPs can demand payment from startups that rely on bandwidth. I personally really enjoy Netflix. If they were la

Is there a sympathetic view of Ajit Pai that anyone could offer? I can understand how he would be opposed to the pro-consumer agenda of Wheeler's FCC. To be sure, there might be a better way of solving these problems using a free marke

So let's say you're logged into google's services using Firefox. You visit a page and it downloads a bunch of google owned JavaScript and a few fonts and image assets. How do they connect it back to your account? Does that Ja

I get the frustration, but mobile sites in general also have this problem. "Request desktop site" should be a more prominent feature, at least in safari which is what I'm familiar with. It's quite buried unfortunately an

Could you relate how you go about fixing a DOS machine? I'm imagining that technical experts get paid a lot of money and get flown across the country to get critical assembly lines working again. Am I far off?

It took me all of a few minutes of listening to that podcast to realize that they're peddling conspiracy theories and consider themselves to occupy a similar space as Alex Jones' Infowars.

The problem with that is that no one shops directly on the airline websites any more, at least not at first. Now this company's fares will appear at the top of the list when you search kayak or google flights or whatever. Then you orde

I am not seeing a smoking gun here, really the evidence presented is completely circumstantial and does not seriously support your assertion that Google is working directly with the Democratic Party. Yes, Eric Schmidt is a political operati

Thanks for the recommendation, but why is it a subscription service? Does it work like a vpn or something where they host servers to support this kind of traffic blocking?

That memo says nothing at all about censoring searches based on political party. It suggests working with technology companies to make good use of their beta programs and new platform features, which is something you can do yourself. Adding

Do it, take the time and renew your batteries. You might find that three months is too long, but take it if you want it! You are confident that you can get a new job, which means you are feel secure about your marketability and your skill s

By the way, you may want to have a look at Auth0. They run the jwt.io informational site. Their services look interesting. Their claim is that you can use their service and their SDKs to add authentication to your service super easily.

Don't forget the maintenance on that apartment, which is at least 1500 a month. 650k is extremely low, even then. I've only seen that on properties with a large tax abatement that is set to expire, or the land isn't owned by

Seems equivalent to the case where you have one generalized function with a bunch of obscure special cases coded into it. I feel like having 30 functions means you can easily trace which parts of the program are exercising which special cas
