I've been getting involved with the local government to get fiber to the area and the cable companies keep pushing back "Nah, you don't want that speed". To the point that it's hurting local businesses. Local fiber co-ops and companies are starting up across the state (slowly). The cities that still had municipal power & water mostly have fiber already.
They're not going to be able to keep up with the competition springing up across the country.
More and more people are cutting the cord as well. They could have taken a bit less of a profit and maintained their lead but they decided to double down on
Last time I spent the weekend in a big city (Chicago) I split my travel between Uber and Taxis.
Uber wins hands down. I can hail it from anywhere. It shows up. It's clean. It doesn't smell. The credit card reader isn't "no work, no work" until I have 1 foot out the door.
Since you seem to actually be reading these responses....
markdown. HTML was the latest and greatest we had when Slashdot came out. Let people write in markdown, restructured text, bbcode, html, latex.... Nikola and iPython can do it.
Unicode support. It's 2016. For the love of god, Unicode support.
How about a completely redone-HTML5 skeleton and have a design competition for who can theme it the best. CSS has come pretty far since 2001.
When I put a hitch on my car (e46 BMW) my neighbors thought I was nuts.
It's what they do in Germany. Very few people own trucks. However everyone tows. It's so much easier to hitch up a trailer and get work done than to carry the "trailer" around everywhere.
No, no you're not. I telework from home. I have to kick off data file downloads the night before so that they're hopefully here by morning.
Data files that are sampled at 1 MHz that need to be analyzed. I max out my 25Mbit connection constantly. Sending data files back is even worse.
If you want your little part of the country to step into this century and have jobs for this century everyone is going to need 1 Gbit to the home. And as soon as I get 1 Gbit to the home I'm probably going to be asking when 10 Gbit is coming.
If you can get by with 20 Mbit you are not a heavy user.
Maybe never "all on its own" but with a massively reduced number of people required.
It used to require a lot of people with shovels.
Then it required fewer people with bull dozers.
The big earth movers are already moving to semi-autonomous. Next step is a single 'drone' operator in AC working on the stuff that needs a human to do while a few other dozen in the fleet manage themselves automatically.
and most of china's energy comes from old-fashioned coal.
The thing I 'like' about China is they get stuff done. They could announce tomorrow they were going to be 100% nuclear in 10 years and I believe they'd actually do it.
Meanwhile all the locals around here are all up in arms over our coal plant shutting and whining how the EPA 'ruins' Murica. I couldn't imagine the shitstorm that would happen if a "Muslim" suggested that.
Doctors should at least be aware of the security implications of suggesting someone gets on IoT pacemaker, insulin pump, etc. Any medical device can (and will) be embedded with feedback on how it's performing rather than just doing it open loop.
My wife is a doctor and gets a $10k stipend each year for continuing education. The "IoT" is coming to medicine. It might be worth it to have some Doctors in the loop with that conversation.
It's apparent they didn't when designing electronic medical records.

Why not just run a diff on the jail package file?

Congratulations, you've just (almost) caught up to decade old technology.

Yes! Let us know who positively voted for things I don't like. That way I can go through and harass them off line or in other threads.
There are perfectly valid reasons for anonymity.
Trump using twitter has probably brought in *a lot* of people that weren't on twitter before.
I would absolutely support a 'pay to develop' model.
I just realized what I miss most on Reddit is AC.
ACs are the wild card of posting.
And I've certainly posted as AC when Slashdot has talked about my company/industry.
I would say there should be room for a middle ground.
Maybe 60 seconds to edit a post to catch any quick typos.
If it means they bring back demographic targeted ads instead of "This is what you searched for on facebook" ads, I'm all for it.
I used to buy a lot of stuff from slashdot ads because they targeted the right demographic without stalking me.
I hate to break it to you, 'nerds' have moved on in the last ~20 years. Not all nerds know HTML.
I haven't written HTML in a decade (other than on Slashdot). Restructured Text, was invented for a reason.
I was here for beta.
The thing with plain CSS and letting *us* theme it is that it can look the exact same.
It can also look different.

I worked for a company that was trying to get Walmart to buy our engines for their trucks.
0.1% of a fuel economy savings could save them millions per year. For short haul a lot of fleets are moving to CNG because it's cheap.
If Walmart, UPS or FedEx could do just a single route in an EV truck they'd jump at the opportunity in a second if it meant cutting fuel costs.

Ah yes. You tell my IT department that one. Nothing is hosted in any 'cloud'.
and my family are a heavy user.

The solution is for all the systemd haters to band together into one distro and move on.
Most of us did. My distro of choice is now FreeBSD and I regret not making the jump sooner.

Which one has logged more hours in the field?
My wife is a doctor and gets a $10k stipend each year for continuing education. The "IoT" is coming to medicine. It might be worth it to have some Doctors in the loop with that conversation.
It's apparent they didn't when designing electronic medical records.
So what about it couldn't have been accomplished with tcsh script and a jail or even better PC-BSD plugins?
FreeNAS has that. It's jails. I run almost everything in its own jail on my FreeNAS box.
I still haven't seen what Docker brings to the table other than "Hey, I don't like that wheel, look at mine".
