What, the original Common Carriers? Did you think through whatever argument you were trying to make before you started typing or did you just pick some random thing?
Net Neutrality became needed because Congress and the FCC legislated monopolies after the patriot act went into effect. It was easier to spy on the whole country via 10 access points than via thousands. So your choices went to shit.
Except that they didn't "legislate" monopolies, they repealed the regulation that was previously forcing phone companies to wholesale connections to competitors. By removing that regulation in 2005, the FCC allowed the phone companies to shut down every competitor that did not have the billions (Google Fiber spent one billion dollars in Kansas City alone) of dollars required to install their own networks. Did they do it for the NSA? Did they do it because they're Republicans and deregulation is always good? Did they do it to play fair since cable companies didn't have to resell their networks? Did they do it because AT&T promised to hire them all as consultants? I don't have an answer to that, but the government did not create this problem anymore than the government is responsible for you hitting yourself in the face with a hammer since they didn't pass a law to stop you.
it would be illegal for you to offer a kid-safe internet service
Actually, it would be trivial to eliminate this problem. Simply put, you sell "Kids On Line" and make no claims about it being "the internet" and everyone is happy. Be sure to mail out plenty of floppies and cds with 12 free hours of service, it's a proven winner!
We already know how it will go: the companies will whine to the government about how they can't find any employees with the skills they demand (such as "willing to work for $5/hr"), and demand that the government do something about it or they won't be cutting any more checks next campaign season.
Something will be done, whether it's government-paid retraining or (more likely) more immigrants.
How fast do you imagine this technology will grow?
Let's say that Ford invents AI tech that allows them to fire every single employee tomorrow and run their entire factories lights-out. How much can they undercut their competitors with a nearly $0 labor cost? (Let's say they pay Amazon Turks $0.05 a review to double-check the AI-designed cars and make sure they look like something a human would want to drive.) How much will the stockholders' profit while the other companies struggle to catch up?
Once Ford pulls the trigger, how many quarters of losses and negative earnings reports do you think it will take for GM, Subaru, etc to do the same? Say GM decides to hold out and runs a "Buy Human" marketing ad (has "Buy American" ever actually worked?) how many GM employees are going to use their salaries to buy GM trucks over cheaper RoboFords?
Personally, I imagine that once each specific field is automated, it will rapidly become totally automated (on the scale of financial quarters once the lagging companies' stocks take a beating). How about RoboShipping? Humans won't be able to compete against $0 labor plus reduced insurance costs. Once RoboTrucking can be done, it will be done as quickly as RoboTrucks can be made and/or retrofitted into existing trucks. We will probably never develop "general" AI, just a lot of task-specific ones that only have to be invented once each.
It's not really, though. If you assume that we are the sum of our inputs, then punishment and/or observation of punishment is itself yet another input.
If human judgement is needed, it's far easier to train someone to decide whether an alternator armature is worth refurbishing than to rebuild an engine. Then you sit them down to do nothing but screen alternator armatures all day.
And you feed pictures of those armatures and the human's decision to the AI so it can learn to do the job cheaper and faster.
I use Cookie Clicker as my benchmark. Set it to Christmas and turn on audio. Does the reindeer sound play before the reindeer leaves the screen? On Chrome the deer was gone by the time the jingle quit and almost gone by the time it started. On Firefox, the deer was halfway across the screen. Click a wrinkler. Does it respond to every click? Triple click one. Did it pop? It should, but on Chrome it sometimes takes four-five clicks. Get a cookie storm. Does it even react to you clicking the cookies before they disappear?
I'm on Linux with a 4k monitor so maybe there's something with Chrome in that environment, but Firefox does reasonably well.
Getting to the point where I'm going to have to dig out my old VIA-powered Wal-Mart PC to do my banking and such on to ensure security from hackers dropping javascript into my browser.
At the very least, the slow speed means I'll realize pretty quickly when someone is trying to use it to mine cryptocurrencies.
mov rax, kerneladdr is the instruction that page used as the exception, which is a page fault and a memory access violation that should segfault. What I was missing is that non-root users can actually trap SIGSEGV (which I should have realized, otherwise SIGSEGV would terminate debuggers too), though the stack overflow pages on this definitely demonstrate it's not simple to come up with a trap that isn't "crash into debugger" or "exit".
Write a short little helloworld.c that causes a page fault and then prints "Hello World". Let me know what happens to "and then" when you run it as a non-root user.
There's another piece of the puzzle that is still missing/not being talked about. I suspect that this exploit *only* works meaningfully when done in a virtualized guest with a hostile admin/root exploit. My suspicion could work with a root exploit without a VM, but you're already root so why?
Based on this link from Hacker News: https://cyber.wtf/2017/07/28/n... and the linked email/patch from AMD, it looks like what happens is that AMD checks memory permissions up front before allowing an instruction into the pipeline, while Intel made the memory permission check as a later part of the pipeline, apparently after the memory was accessed and inserted into the cache.
You agree to a list of permissions up-front, plus any that future auto-updates add, but in recent versions of android (which not all phones get) you can go to the settings and disable individual permissions after the fact, along with a warning that the app may stop working if you do so.
(and yes, I do actually eat the same thing over and over. I don't see any reason to waste an hour a day cooking food for myself, and there's plenty of variations in the steamers for lunch that it doesn't get "boring" whatever "boring" might mean to a person who pushes buttons on a flat rectangle for 14+ hours with minimal interruption.)
The real problem is that "health insurance" isn't insurance, it's just a means for moving money around. Unless you wander off into a forest and die or fall into a volcano or a vat of molten lead, there is a 100% chance that you will require medical care. As for pre-existing condition clauses being required, imagine if Homeowner's insurance had "fire" as a pre-existing condition that followed you for the rest of your life. You have one grease fire in the kitchen and you can never get home insurance again. Unlike a house or a car, you can't yet replace a body. Once your roof is on fire, it's on fire forever. Except that with health "insurance" we expect insurance companies to keep replacing the roof as it burns and then watch the new roof burn too.
The REAL real problem is that modern top-of-the-line healthcare is incredibly expensive, and we're losing cheaper older technology that was generally "good enough", largely because of the enormous opportunity cost of manufacturing an older generic drug versus manufacturing a new patented drug. Good luck finding a doctor under 60 with the knowledge and mix to make a plain old plaster cast, because charging a % overhead on a $1000 fiberglass epoxy cast is way more profitable than on $5 worth of plaster of paris. Plain old insulin is another one that suffers from constant improvements - each slightly more expensive than the last.
are expensive because the vast majority get their insurance through their place of employment. Like any product, if demand is low, not many companies will provide it and it will cost more
Like "any" product? Are you sure about that? Someone is at the grocery store sitting there adjusting the charges as you browse because you pay more for the exact same apple because you're self-employed than if you worked for Ford? I'm sure you imagine that a Ford employee's apple must somehow be less nutritious or valuable than a self-employed person's apple, but I'm not seeing the difference from here. Generally employer-provided insurance is cheaper because they pay some portion of the premium for you (and get a tax deduction for doing so). That's why people get sticker shock when they leave the company and sign up for the COBRA extension: It's the exact same insurance but now they have to pay 100% of the premium themselves.
I own a OP3 as well, and this is definitely the steel beam that broke the camel's back. It'll be the only one I buy.
At this rate, though, I'm thinking my next phone will be a cheap candybar if I can find one (didn't someone say they were bringing back the Nokias?). I got into One+ because of the promises of (almost) stock android and getting timely updates and now that I've had it for a while, I've come to the conclusion that I was honestly happier with my previous HTC Evo that never got an upgrade past android 2 or so. At least I could pick up the phone and answer a call without having to guess what the fuck the gesture is this week. I hung up on the boss last night because suddenly I am now supposed to drag down to answer a call, instead of drag to the side like last week. Two updates before that, it was drag up to answer, one before it was drag up to hang up and send an "I'm busy" text message. Further, in the last several versions, touching the white spot to answer would display icons that clearly identified where I should drag to answer or hang up the phone. Now, there's a tiny green arrow below the icon pointing down (obscured by my thumb).

I'm saying it would be trivial to add that clause.
No different than going to the store to buy a pack of sliced Pasteurized Processed Dairy Product.

Robots would do that cheaper, just saying.
Sure.
AHAHAHA dream on, sucker.
Japan already has a film about that.

If it were true, they wouldn't need "fact sheets" and "guidance documents" to "claim" this, it would be written in the law.
