This won't get very far. Considering how powerful the lobby aimed at the FCC over net neutrality was, this effort would likely receive a far larger assault from them but this would be aimed at Congress, not just the five members of the FCC.

"anyone can have access to thousands of servers, for fractions of a second, for just a few dollars" [^]
Gosh, what could go wrong ?Quote: The system, called Sprocket, was made possible by an innovative process that breaks down video files into extremely small pieces and then moves these pieces between thousands of servers every few thousands of a second for processing. All this happens in the cloud and allows researchers to harness a large amount of computing power in a very short amount of time. Sprocket was developed and written by CSE graduate students Lixiang Ao and Liz Izhikevich (now a PhD student at Stanford).
SPROCKET doesn't just cut down the amount of time needed to process video, it is also extremely cheap. For example, two hours of video can be processed in 30 seconds with the system, instead of tens of minutes with other methods, for a cost of less than $1.
"Before, you could get access to a server for a few hours. Now, with cloud computing, anyone can have access to thousands of servers, for fractions of a second, for just a few dollars," said George Porter, an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering here at UC San Diego and one of the lead researchers on the project, as well as computer science professor Geoff Voelker.

Quote:
A new survey of teenagers reveals that children from poorer households use the internet more than those from richer homes, upending a common assumption about our online lives.
In addition, richer kids use the internet in a more productive way, spending significantly more of their time looking up educational material and things like How To videos.
That's just one of the conclusion of a wide-ranging survey of the so-called Generation Z carried out by monster UK research firm Ipsos Mori. The company summarizes its findings in a 91-page report [PDF] called "Beyond Binary - The lives and choices of Generation Z."
Seems odd there's no mention of gaming. [^]

When Satya Nadella took over as CEO in early 2014, Microsoft made a point to communicate that Gates would be getting more involved on a week-to-week basis with the company than he had been during the latter part of Steve Ballmer's tenure as CEO. You can take the boy out of Microsoft, but not the Microsoft out of the boy

Seeing how Microsoft is performin lately, I would bet he even screams and swears even more than before (I would)

Early 2019 includes the "US election politicing/trolling/flame warrioring takes a temporary slow down". I'm eager to enjoy that feature.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Article says: Johnson surveyed 54 employees between the ages of 21 and 60 who worked full-time jobs across a variety of industries, including manufacturing, government, health care and education. He collected data over 10 days for a collective 232 daily observations to assess daily helping, receipt of gratitude, perceived positive social impact and work engagement.
Seriously? 
I do agree with some of the points, but... 54 surveys?
There are people that would never ask for help, even when they will need it as much as breathing.
There are people that will ask for help in every small situation and still will not thank you at all.
There are a huge gray zone in between. That's where healthy common sense and knowing your co-workers come to play.
