Thanks! You are correct. My mistake for mixing up the origin of the 3rd link more.
An arstechnica commenter mentioned NoCoin which is a standalone extension.

Got any good sources?
I've been reading articles here and there ever since I first heard about net neutrality, and the vast majority of sources don't appear to address the arguments from the other side.
Also, most articles don't mention peering, or history.
Historical context is welcomed. e.g. why didn't we need net neutrality before and what changed so that now we do? Why didn't it change sooner?
> go over to Adafruit and you will find many more women, because those forums are much friendlier to them.
Interesting idea that internet forums are too caustic for some, and that it might affect women more than men.
I thought I read a while back (google fu fails me) about how the C usenet group started out friendly and helpful and devolved until spinoff groups needed to be made to be helpful and friendly, and then those groups devolved. Seems like the way of the internet, unfortunately.
Thanks for the links. Never would have stumbled across those links otherwise. Good demos.
In 2001, NYTimes increased newsstand prices in southern california to $0.50 with $1.50 for sunday.
http://www.nytimes.com/2001/02...
I have no idea how much a delivery subscription cost at that time.
That's $0.50 * 52 weeks * 6 days = $156.
Add Sunday for $1.50 * 52 weeks * 1 day = $78.
Add those and you get $234.
A $15/mo subscription is $180.
I am not sure how much of the NYT's costs come from the printing and distribution of phyisical newspapers, but I would have expected the prices to go down as a result of the digital editions.
Then again, as someone else said, their costs are subsidized by advertising, so they aren't really passing the straight costs onto their users anyway. That's why many sites still have advertising even for their paying subscribers, which is a deal breaker for me.
You are right.
I was mostly riffing on the irony of having the directory and cast from Alien in the movie version of a game that ripped off Alien.

Chrome has been talking about a solution, but they aren't there yet.

In the meanwhile, I use a Google Chrome extension that is growing more out of date since the author moved on to other things.

I use ublock and umatrix too, so I basically just use the extension to prevent autoplay on sites I actually want to view content on.
> The increase in the need for student loans is because of the reduction in state support for public universities and colleges and a concomitant increase in the tuition necessary to pay for the education.
That's certainly a part of it. But haven't costs risen dramatically?
If government support had stayed the same, would costs NOT have risen dramatically?
> Back in the early '70s and before, state government support paid for 70 to 75% of the cost of the education of in-state students with the remaining coming from tuition.
I can imagine that funding may have been adequate before the boom in college attendance.
But when everyone and their dog thinks they need to go to college, the funding need to cover increased headcount.
I wonder how increased headcount has impacted the adequacy of funding levels.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
Interesting sequence of events.
