Well that's lovely. Switching to Opera from my broken-down, pre-Chrome browser on Android busts ability to submit BBCode. Experiments with all four submission interpretation settings, Text (which used to work on Broken Down), html, extrans, forget code) all similarly don't do it.
This reminds me of the late 1970s, and the book "Why Nothing Works".
Why should a mall have to plow through all that unnecessary crap? This nation is done, historically. We're about 50 years behind Europe in our Great Decline, while the new center of empire, China, continues rocketting upwards.
See, economics doesn't care why you are hindering free enterprise, only that you are. It could be due to a failed state that cannot secure rights, including property.
It could be due to mafia or police or official kickbacks everywhere (in India, 10% of the cost of the building is the standard "fee", nudge-nudge, wink-wink, for approval papers).
It could be due to a regulatory burden and confiscatory tax rate on success that approximates [i]or exceeds[/i] the kickback percentages of corrupt nations.

There are hundreds of warnings waiting to seize your attention and distract you, one for each nifty wow item that you might crash if it became disabled while driving.
Imagine what would happen, for example, if AI looked at wealth disparity and started transferring money from (lets say) JD Rockefeller to people with less means. While potentially a great benefit to the rest of society, do you believe that same person would fund programs that allowed that to happen? Good luck with that.

Both sides are right: Assuming it wasn't misused, it would be an excellent way to datamine by computer what things work and don't, for a variety of home issues and problems.
If it isn't misused.
If.
I can see CSI: Nosy Neighbors TV show, questioning a guy, "According to your school info, you have trouble making friends and once pulled up a girl's skirt. You murdered Mr. Body, didn't you?"
No, the temptation for this info to be datamined by companies or worse, government officials dealing with uppity troublemakers, is too great IMO.

When I first read this, I was completely shocked that, because the NSA monitors this, anyone would ever think they are anything but a bunch of swell guys.
The whole point of the modern trial system is to do things out in the public so anyone can look at it if they desire and check up on governmentt abuse.
It is a hard-wrought lesson of history. Shame on modern political opportunists (who, in the US anyway) foresaw their emergence.
That's like kickback rates in corrupt countries (which is most) where the "fee" to get your building approved is 10%. Good one Canada, aping nations with little growth andd little contribution to the world.
Facebook is interested in selling you things, NSA in terrorism. Either could be misused by a politician to spy on opponents, feeding them critical political info, and no one would ever notice.
We know no alarms go off when someone listens in on a conversation without a warrant in the NSA. It's more of a checklist, "you did get a warrant, right?". You don't think some kind of google or facebook analytics is up for sale, or just given, to preferred candidates?
Diversity is affirmative action. It has no inherent value. We are trained to mouth words that it does because affirmative action has had trouble in courts in recent decades. So everyone goes through the motions that it is of vital importance.
Based on Google Doodles, most human technological advancement is already women and minorities-driven. Google's actual numbers are thus doubly perplexing -- why do they continue to hire almost exclusively white male engineers which Doodles clearly suggest are inferior.
Oh, of course! They are practicing affirmative action to redress past wrongs against white male engineers. Duh, n/m.
I would be mad here in the US, if Google "forgot" these things. Cancel search results for Europeans, but you better return full European results to US Googlers.
Personally, I am glad Congress may vote on it, as it should for any significant or novel regulatory change, rather than regulators being praised for coming up with a new rationale to take something over Congress never anticipated.
The correct solution here would be truth-in-advertising to force Comcast to highlight at the beginning of their contract with you that they are demanding a kickback from Netflix of a part of the money you pay Netflix or they will make your Netflix viewing crappy in violation of their contract with you that you have a minimum guaranteed bandwidth.
These regulations, regardless of how useful for their intended purpose, are there to allow the government to get in the way of things. Follow the money and see who donates and who does not.
But in this case, it was very high profile, so it got approved lest some other nation take the lead.
It's an interesting case study on memes - their surface idea vs. what they really do.
Well if there is any consolation, its that government command-and-control slamming the brakes on the economy as a"solution" (which would, by process of inaction slowing down development, be far worse for humanity than moving back from the sea over 300 years) is dead in the water.
Other compensatory adaptations will occur instead.
And good. I'd rather live in 200 years with higher seas and 2214-level tech than slightly lower seas and year 2114-level tech.
Proof: How stupid would our ancestors in 1814 have been to grind the economy to a halt to "help" us, leaving us with 1914-level tech to day and peachy-keen seas.
When Verizon itself is describing these activities as a Title II common carrier, how can the FCC look at broadband internet and continueacting as though it's not a telecommunication network?
"Ha ha," he nelsoned.
Reminds me of the WWE, who declared themselves "not a bona fide athletic competition" so they wouldn't have to pay for ambulances on standby*, officially answering once and for all the great debate.
* For the athletes. I'm sure they have ambulances on standby for the dozen or so fat audience members who have heart attacks every stadium-full.
It can take years for business models and contracts (especially multi-year ones in progress) to cantch up in the brave new business model world.
In rare cases the DVDs are actually not acquired as part of a cooperative agreement -- in 2012, Disney refused to provide copies of John Carter [of Mars] to Netflix, so Netflix simply went out and bought copies at retail and mailed those copies to their subscribers.
"They're being an ass in negotiations over John Carter. What should we do to satisfy customer demand?"
I don't see how they could have reported 500 million lines of code in the first place. The Congressional authorization to spend $30 million to study the best way to count lines isn't even out of the House committee yet.

So this is basically an efficient redundancy transmissiin scheme that out-performs (in spite of using extra data) retransmission.
At a 3% artificially-induced error rate. What about real-world conditions? Wouldn't this clog a network more, not less?

Ya know what, people with IQs above room temperature? Just give up attempting to breed at all.
Evolution doesn't care, and the breed-like-rabbits lower classes will cause your brains...and memes...to fall by the wayside.
