Hopefully, someone who actually knows the law will post, but... One big point of contention between the FCC and phone/cable ISPs is whether they are common carriers. If they are common carriers then the FCC has explicit, full and detailed regulatory authority. The Obama FCC declared them common carriers and subject to full regulation. As trump's FCC is pushing to roll them out of common carrier status they no longer have the "protection" of federal control. The details are in the "source code" (laws), but they may just have been sliced by their own double edged sword.
Basically under reach by apple vs. over reach by MS. I used to think MS's big failure was 3rd party drivers by folks who didn't know what they are doing then I spent a little time with surface and realized that even ms can't seem to write working drivers for modern windows.
I assume that the AC intended their "fix" as a snarhttps://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=10538625&cid=54306425#ky troll. While their changes do change some of the meaning I do indeed agree with the changes. So, thanks.
Indeed, renewables are drastically lighter on the planet than fossil fuels. I am a staunch environmentalist and I believe that renewable are such a wonderful and productive thing that they can provide more than just clean energy. Their economic power can help build our economy AND pay for many needs in our society. All human activity is going to have indirect (externalized) costs. National security, police roads, small pollination impacts, education for the workers who design and run the facility and many other costs of keeping a society need to have their fair share borne by all manufacturers who see the benefits of a civil society. . Yes, this is much much smaller for renewables than fossil fuels, but once an industry has been give a little incubation room and is flourishing it is time for it to pay its own way. That will be in the next decade or so for solar and wind. Regrettably, this tax normalization was NOT done on oil. Oil still receives massive tax subsidies. It is safe to say that somewhere in the last 157 years since oil was first discovered in Pennsylvania oil has somehow learned to stand on their own two feet and no longer needs to feed at the public trough. So oil really needs a big tax to make-up all the hand-outs they have received in the last century and a half.
Pumped Hydro can provide massive storage. These are closed loop dams with an upper pool and a lower pool. To story energy you pump water from the lower pool to the upper pool and to recover energy you run water through a generator from the upper pool to the lower pool. There are pumped hydro facilities as large as 3 GW. As these are closed systems they do not have the same impact that putting a dam on a river has.
Another solution are distributed batteries at each substation. This has the dual advantage of helping with small transients on a branch and, when scaled out, adding substantial reserve capacity for the grid as a whole. The value to the grid in transient mitigation is cheaper than adding more transmission capability so the grid level storage is a free benefit.
Perhaps the best way of handling renewables is Demand Response. Many functions can be shifted as power becomes more plentiful, such as cooling can be moved from real time (daytime) to making ice at night when it is cooler (and more energy efficient anyway as the outside air is cooler) and then that ice can be used during the day to cool a building.
As a strong supporter of renewable, as the economics of renewable continue to shift to make carbon unaffordable, then hell yes we should eventually tax renewables. Once renewables are at full scale and entrenched they should indeed pay their full cost to society just like an auto plant, internet company or a barber shop should. We are not quite there yet and each renewable technology is at different levels of economic and technological maturity so phasing in taxes and removing supports should be done in an thoughtful way.
Young disrupting technologies will often find ways around the existing tax structures. That is well and good in the short term, but long term they need to payback for their disruption and yes, that very much includes helping paying for the transition of coal workers to new opportunities. The renewable entrepreneurs who have benefited by this disruption also have a moral responsibility to help provide their resources and abilities to help these disrupted communities and displaced workers build a better future.
Book a flight with 101 of your closest friends (or what ever is the flight's seating capacity +1) and as a block refuse to take less than $10k, then Profit!
250.2a Policy regarding denied boarding.
In the event of an oversold flight, every carrier shall ensure that the smallest practicable number of persons holding confirmed reserved space on that flight are denied boarding involuntarily.
Obviously, IANAL, but reading the source code (the CFR), it appears they yanked this guy off to make room for flight crew. Do crew have a confirmed reserved space?
Unfortunately we ended up with an even more self-serving and worst tempered version of Harry Mudd , but, yes, he is indeed wearing a tribble on his head.
Indeed. Why are folks crying over the possible demise of predatory Walmart by a super predator. Woldemort are main-street businesses like they were candy with zero compassion. I for one welcome our new super predator overlord. At least until the next apex predator comes along.
It will be interesting if medical providers now feel at risk for allowing access you to your records on line or for sharing records between providers on line, vis a vis HIPPA. Will providers have to be concerned about the hospital's or patients ISP sharing data?
...Can we please not use Linux and IoT in the same sentence. Linux is a wonderful OS. Most IoT devices are a world apart from what Linux needs to live. Most IoT devices are limited to 8k or 16k. That was not a typo - EIGHT KILOBYTES! Even if these little devices have an ARM M0/3, they do not have a memory manager. Many IoT devices have real time requirements and as blazing fast as Linux may be, it was just not architected to meet hard real requirements. Real world, mass produced product are under such extreme cost and/or battery constraints that pennies matter when selling at Home Depot or Target against $13 alternatives. Real world product have to live with one little processor to run the entire RF stack (BLE, etc) AND run the application, all of this in say 8k. Sure, there are exceptions such as smart phones, but how many millions of people are going to pay $800 for a thermostat (a few nest customers excepted). /Rant Mode off
There is certainly a place for tiny Linux based computers in IoT home projects and as mini PCs and servers, as Orange Pi's home pages suggest. They are an amazing amount of technology for the money, just not scaleable.
He is up for reelection in 2018. Looks like he will have a competitor on his right (is that possible???) and of course there will be a democrat in the race too. Donating, then write him a note explaining why you are donating!
Indeed. Calling the new HP a technology is like calling the Forrest Service a technology because they use the technology known as "Forrest Fires." This puffery by executives really explains why the likes of the new HP are dinosaurs on life support just waiting for their outsourced supplies to cut out the middleman and sell their stuff directly to the customers. Heck these factories can even buy up an idle brand name and use it. Whatever happened to PamAm, Instamatic, Berm-a-shave, Gleem and Zenith? Too bad Twinkies and Ding Dongs have comeback from the grave or they could have been a cool smartphone name.
I have never seen so many shills jump in so quick - even on slashdot. This is even worse that nukes and climate combined. Come on guys. I would personally welcome a VP of communications for for one of our new corporate overloads jumping in and saying, "hi I'm joe/jane doe, a VP at mega corp. Here is why I think this is important....and why I think this is a good idea....." We can engage in a meaningful conversation then. We might agree. We might disagree. But I would take you seriously and listen to what you have to say. But hiring a bunch of technologically uninformed hacks who have no idea what they are taking about to post a bunch of me-too drivel just hurts your cause. If there is this much dumb money being thrown against something then it make me think there is something important to protect here.
As Described in this article Eindhoven, Netherlands has solar powered blue and green glowing bike paths. No surprise, as Philips was headquartered here for years and the town grew-up in the electric lighting industry.
Succession goes: VP, House Speaker (Ryan), President pro tempore of the Senate (Hatch), Sec. State (Shannon, a career diplomat and now just a place holder), Treasury, Defense, AG...Secretary of Homeland Security. The order of cabinet succession is based on date of the department's creation. They also have to meet the standard presidential requirements such as native born resident for 14 years and 35 years old.
Saturated markets can still have movement of swaths of customers between competing providers.
Indeed, but is that news for tech nerds? Finance nerds, perhaps.
I'm all in favor of dealing with those who make a profession out of breaking the law, but the the basis of those laws must be reasonable. Clearly though, IP litigators have been give the keys to the kingdom and free reign to make their own laws. Culture is not an IP. And fair use has always been a key point of IP law that historically rests on perpetual ownership of an instance (book/record/disk/painting/etc) of that IP. Licensing IP for a limited time to people as you would to another company is unconscionable and those that do deserve the push back and pain they are getting.
Seems like everyone who is ever likely to have a cell phone (+/- births/deaths) already have one. This is just some banal market share sight: pepsi/coke, Ford/GM. Who cares?
Natural language is inherently ambiguous and real humans love to make it more so with slang and swearing. Take the story of the gorilla artist Jason Sprinkle from Seattle. He was once most known for attaching a ball and chain to the massive hammering man statue on labor day. He had a commission for an art project to support job corp where he made a giant heart and drove it around to different job corp sites where he allow participants to sign the art and his truck. Once person wrote on his truck, "“Timberlake Carpentry Rules (the ‘Bomb’)” on the front bumper of the truck" as a slang for very cool. One day, pre-9/11, he was upset with cuts to city art funding and decided to park the truck, heart and all, in Seattle's main square to draw attention to the arts. Needless to say, the police interpreted the graffiti on his truck literally and the artiest ended-up in jail for a month which essentially ruined his life. OK, cops panicking in the heat of the moment you might expect, but if in the cold light of day prosecutors and the courts have such a problem handling slang, what are the chances some brainless code will be able to handle it?

Can we do this for net neutrality too?

Just coined a new term for you, Constituprop for a constituent used as a prop
