It'd be nice to have fiber everywhere. It'd be nice to have jetski for each foot, and a dolphin with mechanical spider legs to walk around town as a chariot.
It's not a right to have any of these things. If my state or local municipality wants to provide for these things at my tax payer expense, well, as a tenth amendment adherent, fine. but not a federal program. I'd prefer government not being involved at all, at any level. Let an investor take the gamble to spread fiber to areas they think they can turn a profit. If their analysis thinks it's not worth it, well, that sucks, but no one should be forced to subsidize.
My old man lives in the boonies and cable internet stops a block from him. It sucks, but that's the breaks, there aren't enough residences to justify the cost of expanding the network further, and I certainly dont want to give government subsidies to an already shitty cable company.
Myself, I choose to live in a fiber neighborhood. I made the conscious choice to do so, and my cost of living is higher and I suck down gigabit internet. All my choice in where I want to be. My old man prefers his privacy of shooting guns on his property and walking outside buck nekkid and not giving a damn what his neighbors think. his choice to live there, i couldnt do it.
But i'm certainly not going to pay for ppl that have no connection to me, not even in my county or state, to have access. that's their responsibility.
I made a multiplayer co-op map of my highschool back at the time filled with demons and shared around. Great learning opportunity in how to make maps and stuff.
Nowadays, i'd have been expelled, arrested, and branded a psychopath for life just for discussing the idea of making such a map in highschool.
Is money. Google et al, scum buckets and hives of villany tho they all are, spent money to collect, organize, store, and maintain that data. If a government wants to license that data on behalf of it's citizens for whatever mutually agreed upon price, more power to them. If they want to dictate that the information be given up or seized just bc they say so, well, thats how revolutions get started as Britain learned a couple centuries ago.
Thats not how TFA describes the situation. Having design many such systems converting paper to UI with appropriate fields handled by the appropriate ppl, this isn't hard to do. It's either a failure in planning, or someone said "yes, this field needs to be filled out and the docs need to do it" and the docs are griping bc they could get away with it in the past.
If the doctors are ignoring the fields on paper forms, why were they even on paper forms? If the answer is bc doctors are SUPPOSED to fill in these fields, well, shit, can't blame a program for enforcing what doctors are supposed to be doing anyway.
My doctor has a wonderful app that they use for patient sign in and info updates on ipads for patients to use. nice big text, large button for old fogies, simple and straightforward to use and prevents mistakes.
Before you know it, those fake bugs can easily turn into actual bugs. During porting, during updating, during review, etc.
Instead of laying a minefield of false positives to hide sloppy mistakes, why not just fix the exploitable mistakes in the first place and learn from the experience about what NOT to do?
It's really shitty quality. I've bought 2, one for the old man and grand kiddies, another for me. The overlays are legit, but the buttons are poor quality and can trigger a reset or other unintended action. I'm guessing the traces are too close together or some other kind of bleed over during button presses. It also doesn't hook well to modern tvs, having ancient resolution that tvs just cant play. The games themselves are solid, exactly as I remembered. The old man and I re-ignited a 40 year old Armor Battle Rivalry, and my niece, nephew, and my rug rat got in on it.
Disagree, the controller was fantastic except for the side buttons. Those fuckers hurt. The shape was awkward, but manageable for my hands at the time. A new ergonomic controller would be great. Replacing the old main buttons with something more tactile would be good.
A disc pad on the left and a crackberry-esque set of buttons on the right, triggers to replace side buttons, now we're talking
json doesn't have the advantage of schemas to define and validate. JSON only somewhat reliable internally when it has a person to tightly control that object and prevent any yahoo from extending or changing without telling anyone else. It's OK for a front end where you control both the client and the backend (browsercode and server), but xml and xsd is an absolute requirement for exchanging data with other parties where you need consistency and validation that a schema provides.
JSON has a place, just a limited scope place. Yes, I know there are various attempts at JSON schemas, not a single one have I seen that's been either widely adopted or usable as efficiently as an xml schema.
You're right that the FCC would be bad if it did that. But there's no reason to think that's going to happen.
I'll just get godwin's law out of the way early. No one in germany thought giving up firearms would lead to bad things happening either. Or China. Or Venezuela. Or Russia.
No one thought giving full control of an industry to government would be a bad thing, such as the NHS. Until rationing boards. Until 6mo waiting periods for cancer exames. Until death panels. Until Charlie Gard, Until Alfie.
Internet taxation, speech control, being permanently barred from accessing the internet by court rulings, blocking adult material from adults. The government already seizes domains because they have the ability to do so.
Title II is bad for everyone. As mentioned earlier, I, an "EVIL republican conservative", would fully be behind a Free Flow of Packets Bill. Don't tell private industry how to build their networks, don't make them jump through hoops to expand. I'm not a fan of having neglected "slow lanes", but I also don't mind having priority traffic as an optional service across one's network provided it's optional and not a strong arm tactic. I see those as areas where congressional legislation can have a light hand to keep things balanced out, rather than a mostly unaccountable group dictating commandments like the FCC.
It is so sad watching ppl freak out over revoking of Title II status. Title II is the absolute WRONG way to address net neutrality. It simply doesn't need it. It can be done entirely without it. Title II is nothing more than a power grab by the government, those that don't see this are either on board with this, or intentionally ignorant. It wasn't needed for most of the existence of the internet. It isn't needed now. Probably never will be needed.
I have never once even considered any personal information about anyone posting on stack overflow, other than, does the code solve my problem or point me in the right direction.
This sounds like more of the obsurd CoC being shoved down user's throats that git went through for not bending over backwards to appease cringy wierdos and freaks outside of the meritocracy that is ACTUAL CODE, instead based on delusional victimization politics that is the oppression olympics of intersectionality.
Pay more than enough in taxes for shoddy education system. Fire some dead weight teachers. As for supplies, I'm not asking teachers to buy supplies. If they CHOOSE to buy student supplies, that's their own problem. I buy my kids their supplies, I'm not buying supplies for other kids. I got over that scam by 2nd grade when the supply list accidentally found my eyes instead of wife's.
You know what would be better? If all the teachers of a given school estimated student paper usage, add 10%, and place a bulk discounted order to gain savings vs a teacher wasting their money at retail, or even us parents. Then, they could provide me with a portion of the bill and i'd be somewhat happier, bc in theory, I should be getting a better deal. Same with pencils. Right now I buy her monogrammed pencils so I know she is using them. If the school wants to arrange bulk discount, I'm all for that.
Find your local comic shop and check it out. Look around, see what you like. If they are good shop, they have a current issue for each comic to check out the inside versus just seeing the cover art.
If you like a few things, see if they have what is called a "Pull List" or "Subscriber List". This is where they set aside the comics on your list every week so you can ensure you get them and pick them all up at once, often at a % discount. A good shop will not charge you for "bag and board". This is the cardboard backer and sleeve your comic gets put in to protect it. Usually made from acit free materials, often by BCW. If they aren't doing this, or are charging you for this, maybe look into a better comic shop.
Every month, there is put out a "Previews" catalog that shows what is available in the next two months. It's like $5. If you find yourself getting into comics heavily, picking one of these up monthly is the way to stay on top of your game.
Lastly, you'll want to pick up a short box or long box to put your bagged and boarded comics into to protect and store them. Most shops should carry these cardboard boxes for a couple bucks.
Some good series I like: Anything with Superman Anything with Batman Flash Star Wars Darth Vader Star Wars Thrawn Green Lantern Corps Black Betty Walking Dead The Boys (finished several years ago, but the graphic novels are available, amazing series) Locke and Key
Most of the Marvel stuff should be avoided until they are done cleaning out the SJWs that tanked their sales. They just aren't good, unless you are into that. Give it 6 months or so to see if the ship is righted.
IDW has hits or misses, but they are seriously hurting after taking a severe left turn and losing 91% of their sales, just fired their president for shens, and could be losing the Hasbro licenses this year.
Image has hits and misses as well. Both are worth checking out for some good stuff hidden among the dying SJW tripe on it's way out.
As always, check out the indie titles for great stuff.
Exactly, Net Neutrality concepts (not the socialist and over regulatory parts from the FCC portion), should be enacted by congress, not a barely answereable bureaucracy.
Remember, if they were truly conservative and truly held right wing views, they would not need to call themselves 'alt-right'. They'd just consider themselves to be part of the existing political right.
This exactly.
Much like Rock and Alt-Rock. Basically, you have good ol' Rock, and then you have a bunch of other garbage under the umbrella term Alt-Rock.
You seem to be mixing up right wing and alt-right.
alt-right are a populist leftists that got tired of the worst progressive bullshot and yet still don't like the conservatism of the rightwing.
Conservatives dont care for alt-right populists either. They see both progressives and alt-right populists as two sides of the same mob mentality coin. Both sides of that coin are intersectional identitarians looking to embrace victimhood as a virtue in different ways. They can both rot.
Do I look like your unpaid research assistant. do it yourself, lazy sod. I don't want an unelected, unaccountable body such as FCC foisting rules from for a completely different type of service from 100 years ago. I want as little possible government regulation (preferably none) of the internet as possible.

There is obviously more to the story than just getting read ended. Hell i've been rear ended by a drunk and shoved under an SUV in front of me.
Long story short, don't do things that get you in the legal system in the first place.

I tell anyone who needs to call me after hours to facetime me. Because i'll be nude. If they can handle that, it must be important.
