Running away from walled gardens to another walled garden is not a solution to the net neutrality problem and certainly doesn't "take the profit out" of it. It just moves that profit to another company./vertisement.
There are all these objects flying all over the place to various destinations, most of which we have no clue about. And they are traveling fast. Without propellant. On a fairly confident trajectory.
Would it be plausible for us to find an incoming object that is near enough not only to Earth when it passes by, but then also, say, near Mars, or Jupiter's moons?
I am by no means at all knowledgeable about space-fairing. But it seems to me this would be a, somewhat, easy shortcut. We've already landed on an asteroid, the next logical piece is to find a way to launch from it.
What's preventing them from building a subterranean power grid? If we can put fiber optic cables on the floor of the ocean, we can put power lines underground and expose them above ground in certain areas. Leaving the critical lines protected and the "last-mile" lines above ground for easy work.
However, I fear that with the approach of free software with configuration fees, you will get into the ballgame that is <sarcasm>"sure you can defend yourself in the court of law", or "sure you can do your own taxes", or "sure you can..." </sarcasm>
But I don't think it will really do much for them. I spend as little time as possible on torrent sites via VPN's. I also browse with various JS blocking extensions. From the looks of it, I am not helping their mining while browsing (it's to their website open now).
I can't see too much revenue being generated by this... Or on the flip-side, this replaces their ads all together and other websites follow suit.
I totally agree that as long as it's in the interest of network health, sure, do what you have it.
However, living overseas currently, my perspective would be more along the lines of, this is unacceptable. Invest in your infrastructure and support your additional users and their usage.
This is no where near the vendors fault, this is 100% end-user error.
AWS sent an email to us a while ago alerting us to a single bucket (of many) still in use, for an old client running "legacy" code, having public read/write.
Within 5 minutes of reading the email, which was not requested, the permissions were fixed.
Ok so, in order to save the plant for their kids, all rational, liberal people will not have kids because it increases their footprint like nothing else and now won't have pets...
I sense an oncoming wave of depression driven suicide attempts culling the herd to make way for Idiocracy.
As are packages and code snippets for other languages?
The only "problem" with Nodejs is that it's very easy to use these packages. And then for the incompetent, it's very easy to forget them, not read and understand what those packages do and how they do it. But that can also be said for other languages.
So I guess the true problem is that the entry-level expertise required to write JavaScript is too low for your high horse. You can't bitch about shitty developers then turn around and shun any aspiring ones.
I whole heartedly agree with this statement that they could ship more bleeding edge because the true unit/model is much lower, however, after hardware you must think about software.
Can you show me a better mobile device vendor than Apple when it comes to keeping their older generation devices up-to-date and still functional?
With all the new hardware comes new software to support it, if every generation has half a dozen new nik-naks or a dozen semi-new nik-naks but operating just every so differently, well, then supporting older devices makes life that much harder.
The reason there are so many Apply fanboys out there (my wife is one, I am not), is because when it comes down to it, their devices last longer and are supported longer, giving them that sense of loyalty, that their money wasn't actually wasted as they watch their friends cycle through 2 or 3 phones before they get their next one.

"As a candidate, Trump cast himself as a supporter of LGBT rights and indicated he would uphold certain Obama-era policies designed to protect transgender people."
Why do reporters continue to bother with this... Clearly his supporters don't care what he said he would do and what he IS doing, and even more clearly, his non-supporters don't need anymore ammunition to dislike him.
Yea it's fun to call him out on lying/not holding onto campaign promises, but seriously, this is NOT new at all with any politician, especially fuck-face-von-orangutan. (Fun fact, if you Google Image search "orangutan", Donald Trump is the second suggestion they offer.)

I don't understand your reply...
Are you trying to say that the CEO's mislead their investors in that the reversal of net neutrality wouldn't effect their bottom-line?
Damn. That's some hardcore reverse psychology.

Cool story bro.
Good thing you don't need GitHub to use Git, right?
Alien Life that is in and all around us in the guise of physics? Call their agents and warn them of the impending class action and cancelled deals.

You've heard of satellites and portable generators, yes?
As a consumer much like yourself, I can agree.

Hell, I'll be implementing that Monday morning for a couple servers, screw waiting for the standard.
Wholeheartedly agree.

"I don't have time to either read or watch the announcement, can you please answer my questions that are spelled out already"
As described in the announcement, all facial recognition is done locally. Nothing touches a "cloud" server.
If I'm not mistaken, in most areas you require a permit to hold a rally, protest, etc. Pretty sure freedom of assembly is a constitutional right
Slack doesn't have the image of grey neckbeards or pimpled filled teenage nerds. That's all I can come up with

I don't have this issue.
Dual boot OnePlus 5. I did have the OPO, but after quite a few years, I decided it was time to upgrade.

You mean, Google will block adds not owned, operated by or sold by Google.
They're actually pretty (relatively) cheap now-a-days.

On Jan 1, 2021, they should send out an update that completely uninstalls and removes Flash, period.
Nothing short of that matters, millions of computers will remain infected, millions of websites will continue to be exploited.
It's not saying they don't want you to. It is saying that the reason you are doing it, may not be as valid as you might expect.
