The MSM for all it's faults ignores innocent before proven guilty because they're educated and realize that you don't need a judge's ruling in the court of public opinion. I'd like to point out that it seems like you're talking about the MSM minus fox news.
Many of these people are actually paid shills. Who else would spend all night arguing in the comments section of a news article. Every night. For 10 hours. Not just one kook but an army of apparently unemployed night-owls demanding the end of the welfare state? Somehow it doesn't make sense.
For years I thought they had to be retirees or some other people who were on the dole themselves. But no, they're paid shills.
They're not all russian but there is a large paid trolling industry. You're either a paid shill or a moron if you cannot detect this when you visit the comments section on fox news or cnn.
Whoever voted me down is an idiot. Our right wing crazies never sound like this guy. God bless them they post proudly with their name attached like DNS-and-BIND. Plus DNS-and-BIND is at least intelligent.
Most common predictions on slashdot come true. But this is hardly a prediction when telecoms have a history of fucking consumers whenever their hands aren't tied up. It's a miracle the internet came around and shattered their price fixing schemes.
That is the internet that was ran by the government.
As Weev pointed out Facebook and Google are just trying to save pennies and will gladly abandon users to Comcast's monopoly if they can do so.
Weev has a long history of deliberately making large groups of people. The truth is Facebook is the internet to many users and it's probable that ISPs will initially offer facebook only packages at vastly reduced prices. It is a popular option for 3rd world ISPs and every indication is many americans would bite at such a service too.
Then you couple it with a cable box that offers your ISPs video, audio, and telephone. With their own CDN that keeps a cache at every rack of hardware right up to where you start to breakout into individual neighborhoods
Now joe sixpack is getting almost all his internet content from a cache up the street and what's not there is cached downtown. The ISPs will be able to run their networks on a shoestring and artificially inflate the cost of every competing service.
Plus many of the ISPs also own large video content catalogs. Since most of america just wants to watch television and go on facebook this will seem better and faster. Once the competition is gone the ISPs will start raising the prices on all these services... just as they do with everything once it's properly monopolized.
Before net neutrality the telecom companies fucked everyone in the ass every single day and they weren't even shy about it. If you don't remember this then I have to wonder why a man of your young age and low interest in tech would bother using Slashdot. A dying web 1.0 relic.
Before the internet was common most people only had access to purely commercial networks. When they internet was first commercially available it essentially had net neutrality. Suddenly none of the old networks were competitive with services delivered over the internet which were all set up to essentially enforce a minimum cost on sending a communication any more than a trivial distance.
The people who control the last mile want to use that control to force their customers to gradually submit to the desirable business models of the past.
I've never heard this. Did you try cloning the comcast MAC address on your own device? Failing that you can try and turn as much off as possible and just use it as a bride that sits in front of your real edge device.
For example, every single car is being tracked. Yes it is, I've seen the system in action.
Nice try. They have had the ability to track most cars since the 1990s but the AMPS system lacked the bandwidth to track all of them. I remember being a hacker in the 90s, we thought that the government had massive capabilities way beyond our own. Turns out we were way better at breaking into computers than the NSA or CIA was. They're still struggling to catch up.
I've talked with numerous friends who went on to contract for the NSA, they've said disturbing things but they certainly aren't in awe of our electronic spying capabilities.
You don't talk like someone who has seen the beast with their own eyes. Because when you see it, it's bad, it's big, it's bad and it's laughably incompetent. The only ones I've encountered who are impressed are OUTSIDERS from the law enforcement, intelligence, military, and diplomatic communities. Real nerds roll their eyes.
There are a lot of things they COULDN'T predict but being tracked on the internet is some shit that 4/5ths of slashdotters have cried about since the site launched.
Some of us are old enough to remember back when any sort of communication cost you out the ass and then the internet opened up for commerce and rapidly destroyed these exploitative business models while simultaneously making most people involved even more money.
Now they want all the new business with the old business model. You're such a patsy bro. There is literally no way you're a real nerd.
You know I'd prefer that the unwashed masses not learn how to use VPN. We invited them on the internet and now they've ruined it. I say it's about time we slice off a chunk of net for them to turn into the AOL of their dreams and leave the rest of us alone.
USENET, TOR, and the general Internet itself were all fairly chill places for awhile and then the masses arrived bringing their rats, feral dogs, and venereal diseases junk the place up. Now USENET is spam and warez, TOR is full of CP, and the internet is about to be carved up into cable packages. Fuck let the stupid people do their stupid people shit away from the rest of us.
If they're talking about random forest type machine learning then there are already well over 300,000 people who can do the work they need. If they're talking about deep neural nets then in 2017 we're playing with magic in hopes of becoming a god.
How much does a Machine Learning Engineer make? The national average salary for a Machine Learning Engineer is $128,549 in United States.
Yikes so even though the opportunity for profit is limitless. The available workers are a fraction of the demand and this is a sufficiently difficult subject that nobody will obtain credentials without hard work.
It's still not as valuable as a Masters in English Literature from an Ivy, or even a law degree from a mediocre school. Playing with math that is currently almost magic and practicing a craft that approaches playing god. You're still not worth as much as even the most lowly of the elites you engineering scum and you can bet that we'll be shoving your wages way down as soon as someone shows us how to replace you with an H1B
I think it's very racist of them to assume you're a slav when all we know for certain is that you're posting from a smoky internet cafe for peanuts in order to support your starving family.
I am most definitely not Russian, but I find your comments highly offensive.
Just because slashdot is full of liberals doesn't mean it's a place for politically correct snowflakes like yourself.
Have you tried FARK? That's another dying 2000s website and they go well out of their way to accommodate emotionally handicapped paid posters. Be they Slav, Indian, Chinese, or Pinoy. FARK is a safe and inclusive place for paid shills of all colors and nationalities!
An if you are thinking of piggy backing your new internet on the existing infrastructure. Well that would defeat the purpose of a new system. All they would do is treat the traffic of this "new" internet like any other traffic.
This is all about the last mile. Your ISP wants to favor the websites they choose, their social network, blog, video streaming sites. That stuff will be free while the ones they don't like will cost money. L3 doesn't have much incentive to favor one paying customer over another, they already sell different metered teirs.
Hopefully this will result in inexpensive ubiquitous last mile wireless.

Yes the average slashdotter and early internet adopter is miles ahead of today's internet user.

I can't tell you how much I love this new meme.
It's racist to assume that a paid shill is russian. Paid internet shills come from anywhere you can pay someone a dollar an hour.
