    Isn't going to a X-science conference a legitimate travel expense for an X scientist?

    And thats why millions of programmers go to tech conferences at the expense of their employers... oh wait... they dont

    If your employer sends you to a conference, your employer pays. If you send yourself, YOU should pay, you fucking fuck,

  4. That quote explains why he is being punished now. His attack was politically motivated, made in bad faith.

    You are correct!

    Attacking terrible low-quality journals is political because one side of the political spectrum needs terrible low-quality journals while the other does not.

    Welcome to the world of the real deal with the left.

    But Trump was very clear on numerous occasions that Mexico was going to pay for the wall.

    So what you are saying is that you want Trump to keep ALL his campaign promises? Because I'm pretty sure you don't want that. I'm pretty sure what you want iis to obstruct obstruct obstruct even the things you yourself support, so long as its filthy republicans in power.

  11. Regardless of case the company providing the service causing the harm should be seen as an cooperating in the crime

    ..and thats why your electric company, your ISP, your computer manufacturer, and your OS maker, should all be liable, since as you say... they should be seen as cooperating in the crime. The crime wouldnt have happened had any of them not provider their services to the criminal.

    The problem is that carriers want to charge both their customers and the businesses whose data they provide to their customers to move the same set of bits.

    ISP's have more than one customer, and some of them arent people. Some of them are other ISP's.

    The problem with net neutrality is the dishonesty loaded into it right at the start, the dishonesty that netflix was being throttled when in fact netflix chose (repeatedly) an ISP that didnt want to pay for delivery.

    I rough timeline is that first netflix was with Cogent, and other ISP's like Level 3 wanted settlement for the traffic because Cogent didnt qualify for settlement free peering due to the amount of traffic originating there. Thats right, Level 3 was one of the ISPs threatening to delink netflix's ISP.

    Then Netflix moved over to Level 3, and other ISPs like Cogent wanted settlement for the traffic because Level 3 didnt qualify for settlement free peering due to the amount of traffic originating there.

    So the situation essentially began with netflix choosing ISPs that knowingly charge them less than necessary to deliver the traffic, and this is where "net neutrality" originated... in a fucking scumbag corporate lie. All the people pushing for net neutrality while also talking about claiming double billing are fucking tools for those corporate scumbags.

    Why are you a tool for corporate scumbags like the isp's netflix chooses?

    The economics of tree nut farming doesnt help one bit either.

    Its profitable to start a nut grove, but the first 40 years or so (100 years in some cases.. black walnuts?) is just asset appreciation until the trees mature.

    I suspect these early nut tree groves are frequently passed around from investor to investor, as most other investments are better early on. Investors having trouble finding a place to park there money would be the ones that are holding them.

    Most relevant is how much more traffic can 5G move IN TOTAL over the air without reducing the distance between towers.

    Clearly the total bandwidth of the 4G bands is not sufficient for current demand.
