If I'm at a free-speech rally and nazi's with flags, and arm-bands show up I wouldn't be rallying with them and I suspect the vast majority of the people wouldn't either and would probably react to them.
I don't have common cause with Nazi's and I wouldn't accept and protest with them for anything. There beliefs are the very definition of evil.
The "whales" (rich folks who bought large numbers of coins) who caused the bubble are pulling out, the blood bath is only going to get worse as the fall causes more people to sell ad infinatum. It will likely crash below $1000 unless they can convince enough suckers to buy into the market to arrest the drop.
Fast lane is not a non-issue because as soon as paid fast lanes for packet routing are allowed it becomes an incentive for the ISP to impose packet filtering that slows down the rest of the traffic to induce more people to "buy" the fast lane access.
Creating a "fast lane" is not any different than creating a slow lane and forcing everyone into the slow lane until they pay to be in the fast lane. ISP's should not be able to consider packet or service content in their routing and priority decisions where it's targeted at particular providers. This is exactly what Comcast, Verizon and ATT want to do, charge companies like Google or Netflix or have the link be slow enough to frustrate the people using those services so they will switch to whoever paid money.
It gives these ISPs the ability to use their monopoly position to influence markets and prevent competition in related services. It should be regulated.
Franchise monopoly provider agreements were struck down by the Supreme court Decades ago and are not a relevant excuse for anything your are trying to argue. They aren't enforceable and that I'm aware of have never been enforced. Anyone that tried to enforce one would have the agreement immediately tossed.
Franchise provider agreements are a red hearing. The reason you don't see overbuilding is the expense and return make it unprofitable. Communication services at the local level are a natural monopoly and should be regulated as such just like your gas and power lines.
The NN regulations were extremely light handed, they expressly permitted QOS and packet inspection and threw in a huge waiver and about network maintenance. What the regulations did was give the government a way to intervene of an ISP or backbone provider was discriminating on package based on the service they provide. For example, providing not interference with video streaming when it originates with the ISP's own service and slowing down and deprioritizing video packets from other providers.
These regulations were implemented because Verizon, ATT and Comcast had begun to give services they controlled better access, eliminated caps and other prioritization that made their own provided service better and degraded others. The biggest example being Comcast's games with Netflix early on. Without NN these same people will block any upstart streaming provider from providing good service. They will do this to try to eliminate competition to a product they offer.
This is the heart of NN, ISP's and backbones deciding the winners and losers in internet provided business. Once they gain that power they gain the ability to toll these independent services and that will effect everyone using the network.
Toyota's Hydrogen vehicles will never be sold outside California and exist simply to comply with California's zerio emission mandate.
Prior plans had been to build and deploy more hydrogen vehicles, but the single model produced will be the only model produced and a battery electric model (something they swore they'd never do) is under development now. The statement you found was simply an affirmation they made to keep people building hydrogen fueling stations and calm providers that had been assured of their hydrogen models. The reality is Toyota will abandon hydrogen completely at some point, the fuel cells have not reached the targets they'd hoped and batteries have fallen so far in cost (something Toyota said would never happen) they are now cheaper to produce than a fuel cell vehicle.
The parent was right, Toyta's abandoning hydrogen, but doing so in a way that doesn't make them legally liable for all those hydrogen stations they've encouraged to be built.
This is well within the governments national security powers.
Just like they can prevent foreign companies from buying strategic companies in the US including even requiring that prior transactions be unwound and returned to the US. The governments powers in regard to national security are expansive and the supreme court has shown a definite historical tendency to defer to the government where national security concerns are raised.
The chances of success in this suit are very limited, Kaspersky is wasting money, the question is why they are wasting the money, did the Russian government persuade them to file this suit to obscure their apparent control of Kasperky?
So with his proposed cut to NASA of 30% how exactly does he expect to fund ANY human space travel? They can barely fund robotic exploration at the current funding levels.
While Java is still widely used, it is a far cry to Java a decade or so ago.
People are free to disagree with me, but the widespread teaching and use of Java is only still happening because of Android.
Were Android to abandon Java many teaching programs would move away from teaching Java at all and in probably less than a year the only place Java would still be relevant would be in the enterprise tool markets where over time Python and other languages would start to take over as they have already begun to erode Java's dominance in this area.
Java is a language that is losing relevance every day but being propped up by it's use in Android.
Cut off your nose to spite your face, that's the Oracle gameplan 101. They are mad at Google so they will try to destroy android, the only software keeping Java relevant.
Do you know why it's gone up and is still going up? Do you understand how market commodities like bitcoin develop price and what the interactions of buying and selling are to the value? Do you have understanding of the precedent of what happens to commodities like this which have appreciated greatly and then start dropping even a little?
If you did you would understand the skeptics and the comparisons to tulips and stock markets.
Have no fear, according to a recent news report the run up in value from $100 to $11k was due to the winklevoss twins buying $65million worth of bitcoin probably constituting more than half the coins in circulation. When they sell those coins the value of bitcoin will crash the other direction if for no other reason than it would take the twins more than 6months at the full daily trading volume to unload that many coins. Put that many coins back in circulation and value of the coin will crash back down to $100. The only reason the value is so high is that "investors" have bought and sequestered so many coins at this point that the number circulating is greatly reduced.
Your comment is NOTHING but blatantly false statements. the NN regulations didn't require ANY paperwork and they only covered transport and source discrimination and not only that but they WAIVED even that if your company served less than 100K customers.
He's got to try to justify something he's doing which goes so far against the goals he claims he's trying to support and the mandate of FCC or his transparent attempt at a payday once leaving the FCC would be even more obvious.
Pai doesn't give two shits about the internet, the FCC's mandate or the public, he's simply trying to guarantee his own payday once he leaves the FCC. With 80+% of the comments on his net neutrality rollback against the action and his blatant disregard of this it's obvious he doesn't care at all what the public thinks or the mandate congress gave the FCC. The FCC actually refused to even address any comment that wasn't written by a lawyer and referenced specific laws, which was actually in violation of federal public comment rules.
I saw the claim of emulation, color me skeptical given Microsoft's past history with emulation. I'll wait until the actual user reports that call the emulation completely unworkable and worthless before I accept Microsofts claims as they've done this before several times then abandoned the product 6 months later because it's garbage. This is windows RT all over again.
They are trying to compete with Chromebooks which has begun to totally dominate primary and secondary education. They will fail for the same reason Windows R bit the dust, it's not compatible with all the windows x86 applications and the number of windows ARM applications is non-existent.
People would be better off with a chromebook, after all now that Chromebook's have access to the full Google Play Android applications they can install word/excel on Chromebooks and have more than they could get on these stupid things.
Food security isn't about flag waiving and patriotic music, it's about basic defense. Maybe it's not needed anymore but the reality is that a disruption in food supply can be awful and maintaining not just production but local know-how is key to basic survival.
Look no further than Venezuela right now for what can happen when international food supplies are interrupted and local production is insignificant. Venezuela imported everything for so many years that they don't even know how to produce food on mass scale anymore. That know how is critical and the result is a population that's on the verge of starvation and the average person has lost almost 20 lbs trying to survive. In the ends all the kids growing up during this will be stunted because of insufficient calories.
So if you "accidentally" save someone in that condition, you can reverse course as soon as the paperwork comes through.
In the USA, if they intubate the patient and place them on machines that maintain living it is NOT easy to have that patient later removed from those machines. The fear with a DNR order is that you end up on those life support machines and they can't take you off without an extended court battle because you cannot survive without them. And all during the time your hopefully sensible family member is trying to get you unplugged you are suffering endlessly.
You clearly don't have a firm grasp on what this is for, you really should read up on it. Most people that talk like you would be horrified to find out what they can do to you without clear boundaries on what live saving measures you want done.
Simple DNR orders are for people that are already sick and don't want to be put through hell and back to die. I think of my 80+ great-uncle that had severe emphysema that coded and was resuscitated and spent 6 months in a nursing home with 8 broken ribs and he could barely breathe before they broke all his ribs saving him. And this was the 3rd time it'd happened.
For the rest there are some very good forms out there that can walk you through the majority of the invasive life saving measures and allow you to apply advance directives to them. But keep in mind, your spouse/family can override your directives if you are unconscious or impaired unless they are prefiled with the hospital you are taken to (good luck guessing that one).
Just remember, saying nothing means they will do EVERYTHING, including a lot of things you may not even realize they could or would do.
What this actually shows is that Qualacomm has very good patents and Apple is afraid they are going to lose the original lawsuit.
The vast majority of Apple's patents are design patents. They do hold a few actual patents but not nearly as many as Qualacomm. Qualacomm may be a dick of a company but they are a major contributor to the existence of cellular technology. They own outright CDMA without any FAR conditions on the patents they can charge whatever they want to use the patents. Though I believe Apple has a good case with patent exhaustion, I still believe Qualacomm will come out ahead by going after payment for all the other patents they weren't charging for. Qualacomm's patent portfolio is huge and if you build a cellphone these days you will be licensing their patents and a bunch of those patents are not licensed under FAR (fair and reasonable terms).
Please point to this model and indicate where it shows your precise location will be under 10' of water by now. Either that or admit you are full of shit and a liar.
A lack of evidence of this "model" will indicate you are a liar whether you respond or not.
All computers are programmed to lie, either through mistakes or intentional. You will never get away from this because computers are programmed by humans and our creations will always suffer from our own errors and misdeeds.
Actually, under US bankruptcy law the survival of the company as a complete entity is more important than the satisfactory conclusion of all the debts. Although the ability to repay the debts is important the ability of the company to survive and continue to employ people in the future is equally weighted.
What you argue would result in liquidation in almost every bankruptcy case and liquidation is actually the last result after every other option has been exhausted.
Wait until Comcast starts charging websites for access to their network and then slows down your internet access to extort those companies. That's the basic of NN. Without NN the last mile providers become the trolls under the bridge tolling access so that Comcast doesn't deliberately slow down their connection.
This will start with Video where Comcast, ATT and Verizon will start extorting any new streaming video operator just as they did with Netflix. This will prevent any serious competition to Netflix ever developing. Are you ready for that extra charge on your Amazon bill because Amazon has to pay Comcast for you to be able to access the site?
Don't think this can happen? The NN movement was born because the CEO of ATT proposed exactly the scenario I've listed above at numerous public events.
