Xfinity 0rating their own content allows them to severely cripple Netflix et al.
..or are you saying that poor people should define the internet? what exactly is it?
The argument at hand is that poor people specifically are adversely effected by zero-ratings. Are you saying that poor people should subscribe to netflix and that every middle man between netflix and them can go fuck themselves? That seems to be what you are saying.
The thing is, while the progressives are arguing for these zero-rating deals to be made illegal because poor people, they would also argue for the government to institute a tax/fee and then mandate that the isp's deliver equivalent-to-zero-rating service to poor people.
The important point (which gets confused) is that the US has one of the higher "official" corporate tax rates BUT the actual amount taxes paid by corporations is among the lowest (because of special deductions and loopholes).
Sigh... simpleton.
Only the chosen get the special deductions and loopholes. Try this one on for size:
The federal government has imposed the highest tax rates in the word on all the industries that do not generously lobby the federal government.
End all corporate taxes. Seriously. I'm talking to both democrats and republicans here. End em all now you fucking morons.
After the IRS started requiring social security numbers to claim children dependents on tax returns, about 7 million of them vanished.
With justifications like this.... it is now far easier to consider things like drug testing welfare recipients.... require voters to have i.d's, and so on.
I love movies from the 1930s,40s, 50s, and 60s. The ones that used to be on AMC and TMC.
Indeed. Looking at what Netflix streaming offers, there is only a single Danny Kaye movie. Just wow on that one.
Danny Kaye has starred in many hit movies and tv shows that also include other famous actors and actresses, including stars like:
Angela Lansbury, Bing Crosby, Boris Karloff, Benny Goodman, Mia Farrow, Dinah Shore, Flip Wilson, Sandy Duncan, Telly Savalas, Vincent Price, Casey Kasem, Richard Chamberlain, Eli Wallach, Carl Reiner, Brian Dennehy,..... just to name a few.
Netflix streams a single one. Just one. Thats it. Crazy. Surely a lot of these movies wouldn't cost much to license long-term, but then again even if they had them maybe netflix would decide that you are using too much bandwidth for your own good.
I don't see this as a bad thing. They were only doing it on providers that normally charged for data overages, so it seems likely that they were doing it for the right reasons.
I dont want you to get overages either, which is why I am asking your mobile provider to disconnect you permanently.
If netflix was "doing the right thing" as so many people have spun this, then it would have been an option and not a mandate. Option good, Mandate evil. This is simple, folks.
However, and this was my point regardless of your flame, you would be a total fool to attempt to write a modern operating system in assembler, unless it was for a particularly niche purpose, and even then I believe you would be better off writing a compiler for your environment.
If your point was this thing above, then why did you say that other completely wrong thing first?
"Anyone who has written assembler knows that modern static analysis and optimising compilers will write far better code than the average assembler programmer"
See that? Your point clearly had nothing to do with what you now say that it is. Your point was specifically how compilers write much better code than people.
Don't move the goalpost. Just admit that you arent an expert, realize that you were wrong to pretend to be one, admit that you declared a fact that wasn't, and move the fuck on a little bit wiser.
Compilers still write really lousy assembly output, and can easily be beaten by a human.
Here is the thing. These non-assembly programmers.. they have been saying the opposite since at least the mid-80's.
Its never been true, but they keep repeating it. The result of repeating the lie for decades is recruitment. More and more people now say it. The people that say it are demonstrably ill-equipped to know what they are talking about.
The man had said "hinting and other flags."
This is like a supposed dog breeder saying "smelling hole and other dog features." Essentially proving without a doubt the complete lack of any domain-specific experience.
When defending himself the man then says "However, and this was my point regardless of your flame, you would be a total fool to attempt to write a modern operating system in assembler, unless it was for a particularly niche purpose, and even then I believe you would be better off writing a compiler for your environment."
Essentially, moving the goalpost away from what he declared to be true, to a place where he now thinks that he can take a better stand. From "compilers are better than people" to "people want to use compilers"
I hate these pretend faker fucks, acting like experts when they aren't. Its really not hard to know when you are uninformed, but apparently its hard to know when veracity matters. The answer to "when" veracity matters is "always" you fucking assholes.
The term "flag" in English has the generic definition of an artifact placed specifically.....blahblahblah
We are talking about processor architectures here. Flag has an extremely unambiguous meaning.
Long story short, you are also talking out your ass at the moment. Come back when you arent mystified by standard terminology in the domain you want to pretend to be an expert in.
I've never coded assembler on either x86 or ARM. However, I have coded for Z80, 68000, PowerPC 601, PIC, and AMTEL chips.
A litany of yesteryear processors that are also easy to target masterfully as an assembly language programmer. Couldnt have come to your conclusion from these.
I'm just older than you. That's all.
The odds are pretty good that this isnt true. Just because I am aware of whats going on in processor architecture doesnt mean that I am young, just like your lack of awareness doesn't make you old.
The fact remains that you are unaware while pretending to be aware. Shouldn't someone of your advanced years know better than that, grampa?
Compilers are hardware domain aware, whereas coders are problem domain aware.
What it sounds like to me is that you dont bother to learn an architecture that you target. No wonder you think an average programmer sucks. Assembly language programmers are supposed to know their target architecture rather than sit in awe of the black magic inside. This isnt magic, son.
The only other explanation is that they are aware of it, but choose to ignore it in order to avoid the cognitive dissonance resulting from the disconnect in the logic.
I used to be on the cognitive dissonance bandwagon, but I have gravitated towards what I believe to be a better theory, inspired by research which shows that a good story can override a persons knowledge of facts, figures, and logic when assessing things. A good story includes an easy villain, an easy victim, and a champion.
Here the villain is "sexist" men.
The victim are damsels in distress.
The story then begs for the listener themselves to be a champion.
This shit gets the social justice twats to deny logic and facts every time. I used the word twat on purpose, because it triggers these irrational fucks.
Anyone who has written assembler knows that modern static analysis and optimising compilers will write far better code than the average assembler programmer, most chips expect hinting and other flags which are not really part of a human activity.
Lol... "hinting and other flags" is proof that you are talking straight out your ass right now. You clearly dont know anything about assembler for either x86 or ARM.
What you did was take a bit of buzz-like words and put them into a sentence. Sure, the x86 has a flags register, but what the hell are YOU talking about? The x86 also has some hinting instructions, which have been ignored by the CPU for about 6 generations of chips now, so what the hell are YOU talking about?
How come its always someone like you that is demonstrably ignorant about assembler that is saying shit like "anyone who has written assembler knows..."

I mean they cost X to produce, they are likely to generate Y electricity over the course of their lifetime.
The end user never sees X. They only see X-S, the subsidy added in.
The panels never generate Y either. There is always some unfortunate reason why not.

Note how thus guy with supposed "backbone" started replying anonymously when his karma started getting burned by todays moderators.
..and if the communication channel between two application layers is a single string containing all parameters... how do you encode null parameters?
There is a good excuse. The excuse is that there really isnt a good solution.
All solutions are variations on a theme, altering the rate, but not eliminating the possibility, of choking.
Indeed. Your trade name does not need to match your actual name. Hollywood has known this forever.
I like how even the assumption that a person has a name is wrong.
..and this explains why there are so many oddball asian fonts on my clean win7 system. thanks!

Deal.

I think this has to do with having 4 screens streaming at once, not 4k but not really sure.
I can see why you are having an issue. You don't know how to comprehend what you read, such as right now.
I don't see this as a bad thing. They were only doing it on providers that normally charged for data overages, so it seems likely that they were doing it for the right reasons.

I feel like its Social Justice Friday.
This survey accounts for time taken off.
Great! You looked at the data!
It's just the programmer world that is bad.
Fuck! You lied about looking at the data!
We know that you didnt read the survey or else you would have known that 72% figure doesnt actually apply to "programmers."
But thanks for being a dishonest fuck with an agenda.
