The Web is not the Internet. If you don't like what the Web has become make something else that can run on the internet.
By default the internet should be content and platform agnostic. Those are the only "principles" needed for a computer network. If you want something more restrictive than that, you can make your own thing.
People still use sodium chloride as a deicer? Around here, pretty much all municipalities have switched to calcium chloride, which deices better than sodium chloride, and tends to not kill everone's grass. They'll only use sodium chloride in dire emergencies - IE massive ice storm at the end of the season and there's no calcium chloride to be had, which is pretty rare.
I don't know what kind of unions you have in the US, but from a European perspective, that is total nonsense. I've worked in different companies with different closeness or distance to unions in my life, and when it comes down to the actual work, the differences are barely noticeable.
I have a family member who works in automotive plants. Changing a light bulb requires a union electrician, a supervisor, and, if a lift is required, another union driver and, possibly, a second supervisor. I'm not kidding. The work rules are a nightmare.
I am well aware that a typical law has two or three pages of terms, conditions and remediation.
My point is that the legislation *should* be limited to restricting ISPs from stratifying access based on who you are connecting to, or what service you are using. I would still like a carveout for QoS, so on Christmas morning, when everyone's X-Box is downloading gigabytes of game patches I'd like for Netflix to still work.
What will happen are requirements for special interests, and speech policing, and end-runs around encryption, and monitoring, etc...
GM never said it was closing the plants. It said it was idling production and pulling programs. It might not seem like it, but those are two *very* different things in the automotive world.
It does not have the money to buy anything. If the government makes it essentially free, it would take it. It needs a factory for Y and Semi. But it would not take it, even if it is free, it is bundled with UAW.
The main cost of the factory isn't the land or building. It's the setup and tooling. You're looking at between $50- and $500,000 per robot, and you need hundreds of them for final assembly. That's not including controls, panels, wiring, error proofing, power distribution, conveyors, nearly all of which are customized to some extent. Then it all needs to be set up, which usually takes a year or two, if you're lucky.
And if the union contract comes along for the ride, all labor intensive setup stuff is going to need at least one or two union workers doing the work, with another one or two watching - so double or quadruple the cost of labor.
"If you are an ISP, you cannot charge for preferential treatment of packets based on their destination"
What they will pass:
"If you are an ISP, you can't touch packets for any reason unless they are illegal or if the MPAA or RIAA wants them throttled or if they are in relation to a hate site or related to foreign involvement in government.." and two hundred more pages of nonsense that have nothing to do with net neutrality.
Get a charter from the Library of Congress, which can essentially bypass DMCA restrictions by fiat. The LoC usually seems pretty progressive about these things.
Does anyone have a packet capture of one of these things leaking data? Or heck, slice the lid off the chip and tap into it's ROM to figure out what it's doing. That's how MAME developers cracked Capcom's CPS2 encryption system.
Sound absorbing treatments are usually, at the very least, flame retardant, as they are designed for use in commercial applications and have to follow fire codes for building materials. You can clean them with an upholstery attachment on a vacuum cleaner.
Our favorite breakfast place has pictures hanging on the walls and sound absorbing panels on the ceiling to control noise. It's also broken up into multiple rooms with upholstered chairs and booths. Even when it's packed, which it often is, you can have a conversation with everyone at your table without raising your voice.
The new hipster brunch place that opened up on the other side of town is a giant concrete, wood, glass and steel box. when someone sneezes on the other size of the restaurant it reverberates through the space like a thunderclap.
By "DB Load" do you mean "being a DB" or "using a DB"? The later makes no sense. Waiting idle for your query to return results is hardly CPU intensive.
Excellent point. My perspective is a bit skewed I suppose. I work with large enterprise applications that always use SQL or other structured (and more importantly transactional) database servers on the back end, along with application servers that involve gobs of logic using either Java or.NET. None of this stuff is going to run well on ARM anytime soon.
And that matches up from what I've read about ARM performance. It's competitive on relatively simple loads for data compression, encryption, and shoveling data out the door. Once you start doing regex / database / complex transnational loads, performance suffers.
Seems like a perfect solution for Cloudflare, who, basically, shovels data out the door. Not so much for a hadoop / SQL based application stack.
At some point ARM will implement transaction acceleration, and database and application platforms will be tuned for the ARM architecture, but until then I think it will be more of a niche player in the server market.
I don't think, short to mid term, it will be an issue for them. ARM is more efficient at very specific workloads, depending on the configuration. They might be used as static web servers and proxies with hardware decrypt. For heavy application and database loads, AMD and Intel - usually - still blow the doors off of ARM.
It could be that they are truly hands off in the research. It could also be that they simply don't fund research that might have political connotations.
Supposedly Whiskey Lake has hardware mitigations for some variants. I think Cannon Lake is supposed to have mitigations for everything, but the 10nm process is having problems.
Load up NoScript and go to any news site. See the two dozen domains being blocked? Those are all companies harvesting your browsing data, just like Microsoft. Which is what you would expect, seeing as how you aren't paying anything to read the website, then YOU are the product.
Unless you want to go back to the days where you pay CompuServe $50/month to read articles from a dozen newspapers on top of an hourly access fee, this is how on-line services work now.
I listen to a lot of Joe Rogan podcasts and I've never heard him talking of Me Undies. Are the 'ads' on the MMA shows? I don't usually listen to those.

Getting paid to play with toys on camera? How exploited can you get?
I thought that, given previous headlines, when the FCC is doing something, Ajit Pai is personally responsible. Is that not the case here?

Its due to falling sales.
They are making a whole lot of money:

So it's probably not sales.
Every video game console maker has a monopoly on their own game stores. How is this different? Are they being investigated, too?

I thought Google had figured out a patch to circumvent this at the OS level that had negligible impact on performance?
