How about removing the internal corporate barriers (pockets) so ISPs can deploy broadband like they promised to do, were subsidized to do, and make more than enough money (even if they didn't charge ridiculously high rates with additional bs "charges") to do.
You can add it to your adblocker or not explicitly allow it in a script blocker or other domain blocker. I get by fine without ever subscribing to a list, period. And lists never cover everything, so there is always something to add yourself (assuming you are not already using another bit of code that does not allow anything by default). But sure, HOSTS is another way if you want to maintain that, too.
So, who is the end user who left their exploits unsecured on a computer somewhere?
What group of end users is it, of which the aforementioned end user is a member, who have notoriously insecure, unpatched, and poorly configured systems which have repeatedly exposed metric craptons of data?
Who? Who are these pebkac monkeys? I. Just. Don't. Know...
It sort of depends on what pols or bureaucracy one is dealing with at the moment, but yes, corruption is just normal business in much of India. The fact that bribes could do away with an honest assessment does not make the assessment any less honest.
(Was there a problem? Looking at the article again today, links seem to point to different articles, although two point to the same one, and none of them self-reference.)
That affects the report about using artificial market capture to limit internet experience and control the advertising regime how, exactly? And how is it we know this is a solely Google-funded study? (Not that it matters, really, if the study and report are independent.) Further, the goog and fb hardly compete directly for advertising eyes. Finally, Google has not been Mozilla's search partner for a while now.
Yes, whatever it is you wish to imply is no surprise at all.
It's out of context because Wheeler didn't push for zero-rating, he mollified some powerful groups a little bit by saying it is one of the things they would look at in individual instances to see if it was anti-competitive in practice. I don't think Wheeler saw a big problem with it, and most here disagree and think it is. It is not "Wheeler Vision", it' isn't any news to us, but dude can say "i told you so" all he wants, but we all already knew.
It does fit into the larger context of that ac saying nothing but "i told you so", and "you are all idiots", and "Wheeler blah blah", and "regulations bad". Without evidence of anything. I can't keep track, but the ac may also be one who thinks everyone is a "leftist". (In a current climate where Saint Ronnie would be a "leftist", mind you.)
I also don't see the response indicating anything you say it seems to do.
Re: Re: Re: women, from a young age all the way into adulthood, are pushed away from STEM fields by men who believe that said fields are “men’s work”.
It takes a lot more to persuade women they should avoid certain things, than it takes to persuade men that there is a problem. And look where we still are with the men. (Generically speaking, of course, since women have sexism as deeply ingrained as men, some men are aware of the problem and some women deny it, etc.)
I tend to find stupid culturally-reinforced ideas like "women are inferior in x" to be the groupthink.
It's almost as if if women tend to keep having a harder time in fields like engineering exactly because people like you are constantly making that assumption. From the way they are raiosed, to school, to work environments. Never mind the the ocean of other forms of sexism the swim through daily. It doesn't need to be outright, active sexism, so the excuse "I don't do that" is a non-starter. The deeply ingrained, unexamined cultural bullshit which people get all super defensive over when it is pointed out to them, that's the problem.
Let's see where the goalposts are now - ah. In the straw man end zone.
I have been reading here far, far longer than i have had an account, and i have seen people disagree all the time without any of that happening. There are, however, both transient and long-term trollish accounts who regularly post insulting items with nothing to back up the insults. So your tone policing is going to have to start with those people first. (Not that tone policing is useful, but apply it fairly if you must apply it at all.) People will respond with mockery and invective, certainly. But with most people i see in the comments, that mockery comes _with an actual argument_, or as a result of their disputant merely repeating assertions without ever providing any evidence for them.
I also get the impression that you imagine the regular, non-hater crowd here agree among themselves and with any opinion produced by *"Mike". This is not necessarily true at all.
*Mike: Mike Masnick or anyone else who has ever written a post for techdirt. Also, roughly half the commentariat, depending on which conspiracy theorist it is to whom you subscribe. (Actually, all our personal names are Mike, only differing in our surnames. And we have consecutive social security numbers.)
Uh huh. Now making one's own work available without allowing some useless publisher to charge ridiculous amounts for it is "piracy". Definition change noted.
In fact, even before open access, the number one pirates of any work were the authors. Because the vast majority of them would provide a copy, routing around the publisher.
On what planet are these "leftists" who don't know about starvation in NK? (BTW that famine is not what it once was, although that is merely less bad.)
But to save these starving North Koreans we should... nuke them? Invade? That will surely be helpful. Or maybe selling them oil (yuck) or helping finish the civilian nuclear power projects we promised as part of the last deal and then abandoned? Hmmm. I just don't know...
It's not a threat, any more than our nukes are. In fact, far less. Now, if you want to provoke NK into thinking the US is going to do something insane, then Kim will do something equally insane for sure.
