Arguably nothing. Look at Comcast's ad campaigns on twitter to promote its own version of net neutrality. Fortunately for now, it seems that there are more powerful institutions in directing the public dialogue.
It seems to me that it is unrealistic to expect a company -- even one as big as Comcast -- to compete with the government, with the power of eminent domain and subsidizing costs with local taxes.
I don't think it's reasonable to call winning via the only electoral system we've ever had not "fair and square."
The typical prerequisite for measure theory is a two-semester real analysis course, a la Rudin or any of its alternatives (I particularly like Pugh's book). A solid topological background is also a good idea, although…
There would also be an increase in institutional spending, which would offset at least some of the deflationary pressure.
Vue optionally supports jsx, too
Say I work at a business that uses python exclusively. If I see my coworker get fired for suggesting we use haskell (or some other very different stack) for performance-critical code, how likely is it that I would later…
That's the argument alt-right folk who actually deserve our hostility are trying to use Damore to make. Damore, however, is instead arguing that those biological differences make women less likely to pursue engineering…
I don't really think it is debatable. Just the fact the the memo and the firing were so controversial, in both directions, implies that a number of strong critical thinkers are on both sides of this issue. Assuming that…
Sure, that makes sense in the short term. But if everyone did this, over a long period of time, two things would happen: (a) Diversity programs would at some point stop being ineffective. and (b) Identity politics would…
Namely that people of color benefit from it; that itself does not have racist implications. You are of course correct that I should not have presumed the community agrees with me -- my apologies for making that…
Likewise, Hacker News: where anonymous cowards call others anonymous cowards and make baseless accusations of racism Apologies for the meta-discussion, but this sort of comment is unbecoming of hacker news. Instead of…
If "expanding your brain" is really what we want to optimize, why not learn Haskell? Or for that matter, why not learn something even more strongly typed, like Agda or Idris? Or even a theorem prover like Lean? Most of…
I'm more or less in the same age bracket as you (graduated high school in 2015) and your spot on about the utility of computers for research and the importance of learning how to effectively use a search engine (this is…
I think this is the crux of the matter. Apple supporting PWA means lower quality apps for its users, and Apple has the market share to demand apps be native code.
This is correct. I am not a fan of net neutrality and the level of "protest" that has appeared today already makes me uneasy. It's easy to claim that google is so monolithic that blocking its services for a day would be…
I can't speak to whether it is used more often, but I would bet the java-based Nashorn vm is significantly slower than the c++-based nodejs. In fact, a cursory google search shows this is the case, and it's not even…
There are only a couple cities in the US where it is realistic for a normal (i.e. able to afford a car) person to live without a car, and most of those cities are already served by Acela.
> Vietnam was not a very popular war, they did it anyway. It was extremely popular when LBJ started the war. Less than 25% of the public thought sending troops to Vietnam was a mistake. Similarly, only 23% of Americans…
Texas ranks #1 in the US for wind energy capacity and biofuel production. It ranks #2 for employment in the renewable energy sector. It is hardly set to be left behind.
No, he or she was just observing that natural warming/cooling moves pretty randomly, and even if we can null out the human effect on it, we need to be able to withstand a dramatic change in global temperature.
To the contrary: neither is directly involved. Neither the US nor Russia have troops on the ground in Syria.
This is how we do it in New Hampshire. It works fine here too. Perhaps the problem is scale? New Hampshire is one of the smaller states, and the UK is obviously quite a bit less populous than the US. Or perhas it's just…
A couple comments who knows absolutely nothing about how this works: * They don't need to reach price parity to be financially successful. I'm sure there are people out there (former vegans/vegetarians or those…
Assuming you are a law-abiding citizen such information would be critical for tax withholding.
