Original prize = $250k. New prize, $1m. That's a 300% increase over last year but works out to be 4 times (technically more, they shared the prize with Intel int he beginning) their original contribution.
Amazon (under Bezos' leadership) has made enormous amounts of money where no one thought there would be money. This will be the sleeper hit that dominates the next generation of IoT.
This is a very salient point. Netflix already has these arrangements with other ISPs. Only Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon (surprise surprise) refused to host local caching servers. Of course, this precedes their demands for more money because, "Waaaahhhh...they're stealing our customers, they need to pay!".
Netflix tried to be the better entity (within reason) and were told, in no uncertain terms, "Go fuck yourself."
...politicians. How the hell do we keep doing this?
I'm so sick of how apathetic people are.
If this happened in my state, I'd be writing letters everyday!
Not allowed to build infrastructure because it might put someone else out of business... Boo-fucking-hoo... We, as a country, have no obligation to support your flawed or failing business model...
Fucking fascist politicians... Those lobbyist presents must be wonderful, indeed! Especially seeing as how they're willing to sell out the constituents for them!

FTFA, "ascetically pleasing"... hehehe
I don't think that word means what you think it means. :)
ascetic: A person who renounces material comforts and leads a life of austere self-discipline, especially as an act of religious devotion.
Although, I guess nudity would be the highest form asceticism...
50 years...
*sigh*
My question is, was this a strategic move by Comcast/Verizon, et al?
They pay people enormous sums of money to run scenarios like this and forecast business decisions.
Would really suck if we all somehow played the patsy.
I feel like I just stumbled into a screening of The Sleeper.
That was a really insightful piece of writing. Full of interesting information about technology that may or may not ever end up in use.
Especially considering we have this in development!
Also, I've seen better edited documents from high school seniors!

Are you a masochist?
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver had a great segment about this exact problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Disregard my entire drunken comment!!!
Doh!!

Fuck you! Did you seriously just turn "men have fewer parental rights than women" into "women make less, that's why men have fewer parental rights"?
Fuck you.
Wow!
I can't read anymore of the SJW or NeoFeminist bullshit.
You are the problem.
Equality =/= feminism. Especially, not the recent spate of vitriol coming from 3rd wave feminists.
Eroding men's rights does not enhance women's rights but, that's what you would have me believe.

How can they claim that there's more of these homeless planets than not when they've only found one of them...ever!
I understand that we don't have to see something for it to be there but, this leap is just too big to bear.

Yay, free market!
*sigh*
They're sounding more and more like 5 year old's complaining to their parents.
Have some fucking accountability. Jesus.
New York and New Jersey.
Verizon has been fucking them for years...hard!
Never thought I'd feel bad for people from Jersey...
She had the best idea in the room, and the biggest balls!
An oil tycoon wants to give more of his money away, on purpose! Truly this is the first sign of the end of days!
Good for him... He thinks he doesn't pay enough taxes... That's mind blowing.
Weird.
There's a built in file manager for the iphone?
Weird... Had no idea...
This is a weird segue, but which car does it hit? The more expensive car with better insurance, or the cheaper car that explodes?
Will you be able to buy "don't choose me" premiums?
How will this affect emergency vehicles?
A bit off topic, but how will this changeover affect companies like square that depend on swipe and sign for most transactions?
Other than that, it's about fucking time!
Sick of finding out every other month that some retailer that I frequent has been hacked.
I'm tired of constantly changing my credit info to avoid being ripped off...
Vote this up!
I have the exact same ad! :)
Wow, feels like foreshadowing...
This is why people don't like going to the authorities...
Not only was his problem not taken care of, but he was actually punished for trying to protect himself non-violently!
Fucking ignorant fucks!
I usually don't feel this way, but as a person who was endlessly bullied, I hope they eat a bag of diseased dicks.
Another person who will be afraid of authority.
And, what if this kid commits a Columbine-esque revenge scenario? They'll blame it on some other bullshit, not their own lack of souls...
FUCK!
