It’s even greater than the 40-50% off his 5mil number if using dx links.

Dx list with 100 PiB is 2 million. Add in discounts and you’re at much less than 1 mil total

Can't state that benefit enough. Zoom is draining right now. They shame participants into using video.

Chime's UX design really allows you to join calls without video and without the pressure.

It's great as video doesn't add much to a large conference call.

That's with list price. I've helped with a migration larger than that, and was less than your 5mil number.

People forget that when you talk about customers spending 100+ mil/year they get heavy discounts on many of the SKUs.

Much of that comment is political in nature. Calling it palestine & colonization is disputable.

Technically the Israelites inhabited the land before the Palestinians. Such land was part of Judea & Samaria, which the romans conquered, kicked out the Israelites. In modern times the Israelites won back much of the land in a war of aggression against them.

It's akin to saying that the Native Americans who lived in their reservations were attacked by the surrounding cities. The native americans won, and in the battles managed to extended their reservations to a greater % of their historical lands before the Americans kicked them out.

You can't compare H1b/legal immigrants to illegal immigrants, they have vastly different educational backgrounds.

THe illegal immigrant population in k-12 in California schools are majority latino/hispanic. Therefore removing the illegal immigrant population from said schooling would reduce the latino population in the school.

If latino's are scoring poorly, then removing some % of them (due to their illegal immigrant status) would raise test scores overall.

> While this is true, this is also the type of ethnic engineering that isn't acceptable in modern society in the United States. We don't remove ethnic populations in order to increase a test score number.

Hu? I never was talking about ethnic engineering. I was talking about enforcing our immigration laws.

I was expressing a political view, which is no different than the link submitted.

I think its unfair to censor one political view and not the other political views.

Property taxes only make up 1/4th the school budget in CA.

Also let's do some math shall we. California has 12.3% illegal immigrant student population. Remove them and the same funds that currently exist would be funding 87.7% the current student population.

California currently spends $8,694/student. If you remove the illegal immigrants that becomes 8,694/0.877 = ~9913/student. Not great but a $1219/student gain in funds isn't shabby either. FYI california has ~6 Million k-12 students, or in other words the illegals are costing tax payers 6.66 Billion/year in k-12 education.

Now reducing our student population by 12.3% would also mean reducing the number of schools. There's likely even greater savings as not everything scales horizontally / sub-horizontally.

Test scores show otherwise: http://laschoolreport.com/latinos-and-english-learners-are-b...

The majority of LA's Latino / Illegal Immigrant student body failed their standardized tests.

66% failed english language arts

76% failed math

And Latino's also had ~5% more kids failing than the average of LA's Scores. Its a fair argument that removing this population from the schools increase the % of kids who pass these tests by more than 5%.

" The percentage of LA’s Latino students who met or exceeded state academic expectations this year:

34 percent in English language arts, less than 1 percentage point higher than in 2016 24 percent in math, less than 1 percentage point higher than in 2016 The district’s overall average this year was 39.55 percent in English language arts and 29.86 in math. The percentage of Latino students in California who met or exceeded standards this year:

26.05 percent in English language arts, the same as in 2016 16.89 percent in math, slightly lower than in 2016 The state’s overall average this year was 48.56 percent in English language arts and 37.53 percent in math. "

Big issue is that Google's market cap is huge, the amount of money they make is massive as well. For the risk to brand to be worth it, you've got to have a huge potential to make lots of $$$. Hence why lots of projects get killed. Making 300 million a year isn't enough money to move the needle at google.

I fully believe that's why alphabet was created. Allow the `bets` to not use the google branding and name, and stealthy create new companies that produce millions of revenue, but just not billions.

Just have a SMS message texted to voters once their vote is counted with a link to a scan of their paper ballet. Would make voter fraud a bit harder as each person could validate their vote was correctly counted. If the voter doesn't get their SMS, then provide a 1800 number for them to figure out what happened. This would only stop the changing and non counting of a real voter, but does not stop fake voters from adding their vote....which would need a diff fraud protection scheme.

It's called alphabet ;)

Its not just quirks, but bionic doesn't support all the libc apis. For example, bionic does not support pthread_cancel.

Does this mean that when/if we create an AI it wouldn't be able to own its creations. But its creator would own everything that the AI produces?

Everyone keeps citing the netflix openconnect initiative. But did netflix also offer to pay the co-location fees to place their servers in the ISPs datacenters?

ISPs already allow businesses to co-locate servers, netflix could have done the same. But it'd have to at least pay colocation fees + bandwidth fees.

I dont see how they can get in trouble for not providing their advertised speeds so long as the speed degradation only occurs outside of their direct network.

38/9 Mbps shared between multiple customers. Just like how DOCSIS3.0 today has been shown to operate at 1Gbps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS#Speed_tables).

Ummm, Google Fiber had to pay over 10k per customer. This article sites around 3k per customer in gross.

So they expect the ISPs to just eat up a 7k difference which will take over 1-2 decades to recoup?
