When I talk to people who have been experiencing a crappy situation for a long time, the more recent crappiness always seems worse. People smart enough not to blame whomever they herd of most recently for their crappy speed are smart enough to understand about network neutrality. I'm counting on how crappy it is, and people wanting someone to blame for that.
Why explain it? "They voted to let the people that sell internet make slow lanes" is all the explanation necessary. They've been training Joe six-pack to feel slighted and aggrieved for years. If a slow lane exists, he'll believe he's been forced onto it.
They lose more if they vote against it. Every time some schmuck's connection makes him wait, the Democrats can say: "It's 'cause they voted for slow lanes."
Or they could just pass it with sufficient margin as to make a veto attempt pointless, like they did with the Russia sanctioning legislation. Internet in this country is so shitty already, that "voted for slow lanes" may be a label that almost every federal representative wants to avoid. "It's 'cause they voted for slow lanes," is the world's simplest conspiracy theory every time a voter's connection makes them wait.
I remember back in the 1990s, IBrowse would save the source URL and time of download as metadata to any files I saved locally. I always liked that feature, because when the back of my mind nagged me to go collect something else I saw, I always remembered the location as "the same place I got this other file."
For bringing files from elsewhere to me, the files are also available via http, which is most frequently my means of learning which files I want. For sending files from me to elsewhere, the recipient places provide cPanel for that now, which is easier to use than their FTP documentation.
I seldom get paid for anything that resembles programming, but if someone wants to know more than "writing instructions for computers," I generally point them to a tutorial for a scripting language, preferably one that can be used to automate tasks in a program that they regularly use. After they've learned a little, I say "now imagine writing the program that runs your script or the operating system for the computer that hosts that program." As I've gotten older, I find that I don't put a lot of effort into coming up with simple explanations for people who don't want to make an effort at doing any learning, because if them gaining the understanding isn't worth their effort, then it also isn't worth mine.
Where the data was actually collected: Canada: Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, and Vancouver; United States: Boston, Kansas City, Minneapolis, and Seattle; UK: London; France: Paris; Italy: Rome; Germany: Berlin; Japan: Tolyo.
Let me guess - The rates were cheaper in the places with higher population density.
Motherboard reports that Washington state representative Drew Hansen yesterday introduced House Bill 2282 to keep network neutrality in Washington State. I imagine other states will follow quickly. NN is as favorable to local businesses as lower taxes, but the cost to the government is much lower.
If if the only way we can get away from these life sucking vampires is to quit using their currency, then so be it. They aren't providing value commensurate to the fee. It has to stop.
If you look at this site and this one, you'll see that the residents out there are mostly all native Alaskans and that they've been living in that location for 2500 years. I expect for most residents, living there is part of who they are, and they would no more want to move South than you would want to move North. The ocean does moderate the cold. The Wikipedia article says that the average coldest temp of the year is about minus eight Fahrenheit, so not as cold as the annual cold temps in winter in New York. I've been to the grocery store on St. Paul, and the Tanadgusix Corporation gets the food there without charging huge amounts of money for it. I expect it's not too much different for the Tikigaq Corporation's store in Point Hope. The problem I've seen with moving to Alaska is that the real estate prices (when real estate is even available) are higher than in similarly rural areas of much of the lower 48.
My idea for an individual software patent test is: "if you attempt to keep the idea secret, will anyone care?" If the answer is "no," then no patent is granted. I have a feeling that outside of software (where the design is the product), licensing patented ideas is more common.
I bet there's plenty of blue king crab, if the residents get subsistence permits. I don't hear much about commercial fishing that's allowed that far North, but Norton Sound Seafood advertises king crab, halibut, and salmon. Doubtless cod, pollock, and several varieties of sole could also be found, and there's caribou meat. Couple that with what could be grown in a wind farm supplied greenhouse, and you could have a healthy diet. City law does prohibit the sale or possession of alcoholic beverages, which makes sense, but could be less entertaining than what you're used to.
Looks like about Class 4 but there's outstanding potential just North of there at Wevok. Point Hope has an elevation of 7 feet, whereas ~50 feet in Wevok, so it might be a better place for development driven by melting sea ice.
What people came up with to encourage the sharing of trade secrets are patents. In exchange for charging people a license fee for a period of time, you show them the better way you figured out how to do something. Current implementation of the patent concept in law also has issues, particularly for software patents.
Was the IRS only interested in transactions where dollars were exchanged? And if not, then what reference did they give to assign the dollar value of the other currency at the time the transaction occurred?
So, he said that the bacteria could have come into space from the planet around which the space station orbits, or it could have come to the space station from an extraterrestrial origin. It sure sounds more exciting not to report the first part of what he said. It's like me saying that the CDMA providing my internet could have come from the local tower which I can't see, or it could be hijacked as part of a technologically perfect mitm attack done by a hovering extraterrestrial broadcaster that I also can't see. So, slashdot commenter reports "Space aliens could be hijacking my internet." Another example would be Publisher's Clearinghouse writing "You may already have won!"
For those who can get past the imperative to own Apple hardware, Sony is taking somewhat the opposite approach with their Open Device Program. The high resolution of the premium model makes it nice for diy VR as well.
I don't know about tinker, but there is a "right to repair" political movement. I first heard about it in relation to tractors, but it could apply equally well to smartphones.
Extradition implies that the person being accused is in a different country from the prosecutor making the accusation. It doesn't speak to the location of the crime. This fellow is accused of having accessed computers that are located in California via the internet. The warrant doesn't speak to his physical location when he did this, but odds are he was in Russia then. He came out of Russia on vacation, and these prosecutors want to snatch him up before he returns to Russia where they don't have access to him. However, the companies he's accused of having harmed also do business in Czechia, so why not try him there instead of paying airfare to transport him to California so that they can add him to the underfunded overcrowded California prison system, all for stroking the ego of some prosecutor who wants to be able to say he can reach across the world and snatch people up. Really, no other country should extradite non-violent criminals to the USA until we deprivatize our prisons and fund them adequately (which adequate funding would be impossible with for-profit prisons, since the funds would be siphoned off by the investors).
Why isn't there an expeditious and relatively cheap avenue to challenge patent applications of doubtful validity and prevent these patents from existing in the first place? Shouldn't patent application examiners have the benefit of hearing these challenges before making their decisions?

There's plenty that will multiply their investment. It's just that the time scale is longer than the attention span of their investors.

In most western countries it's "direct crimes against a person" that lead to jail time.
Here in USA we have this thing called "the war on drugs."
