If you had a choice of multiple ISPs and your ISP began throttling a content publisher for not paying them, you would simply cancel service and subscribe to a different ISP.
That's the theory, but there's no reason to believe this would be as commonplace as you say. Heck, TMobile zero-rates a lot of streaming services. Do you recall any mass migration based on that?
As I understand it, the human cost to smuggling is a small rounding error.. Why risk losing a shipment, or having the DEA crack the software, if you don't have to.
So, just to understand, do you have some problem with (a) People giving free money to scientists attaching strings to that money, (b) Those strings being to make information more freely available, with all the obvious societal (and capitalistic) benefits, or (c) The decrease in power/prestige of paid journals, leading to tenure track academics not have to sell off their rights for nothing to avoid the "perish" option.
Meanwhile, the ISPs are trying to claim that the FTC doesn't have jurisdiction. They pushed for the FCC to push it off to the FTC and now are trying to push the FTC off.
The ISPs already got the Supreme Court to agree that the FTC couldn't regulate NN, and that only the FCC did. Unsurprsingly, they took advantage of this to start fucking with sites, including blocking mobile payment systems they didn't own. Surprsiingly, a few months later, the FCC did put NN regulations in place. Note, this all happened several years ago.
See also, why all the "things weren't so bad pre-FCC NN" comments were bullshit. Because the FTC was allowed to regulate them for a while, and it trended hellish when neither agency did
Land zoning is one of the main examples of how even free markets can coexist with centralized control. And NYC has many laws (like rent control) that modify the free market. Clearly, they don't want a free market solution to housing.
Also, what percentage of NYC residents do you think own, as opposed to rent from some really really rich fuck?
She was never hired by the NSA. She got her security clearance via the Air Force (as a translator.) She leaked NSA documents because everything is contracted out. In this case, her employer when she got the documents was Pluribus International Corporation.
Also, if she was named that by her parents, you shouldn't blame her. Like 20% of people hate their names, but consider it too hard to change.
I'm guessing Valve wants to have a "Steam Store" app for iOS and Android. I'm willing to bet they'll lower their % (at least, for those stores) to try to undercut Google/Apple.
And most people don't either. Maybe 5 hours writing and responding to emails, but that's because they're jobs involve delegation, decision making, answering questions, etc. Like, I would say I spent 30 minutes "responding to an email" today, because I had to go do research to answer it correctly.
Look, if I want to enable Flash content on some sites (usually internal) why are you fighting me and making my life harder? I already said to allow it. If you don't allow me to add a permanent exception, you're a dick.
And how, without checking state-issued ID do you propose we determine that?
I don't know, but I do know that I don't need a government issued idea to exercise any other basic right. Or are you in favor of "free speech" licenses that you need from a government group to be able to speak? Maybe a "certificate of a soldierless home"? Oh, and of course, your right against self incrimination is totally dependent on carrying a physical card. Hope the cops don't take it away when they arrest you!
...AND gold is actually usable for stuff other than as a currency.
You left out it is fungible and easily sellable. Like, give me a bar of gold and I can turn into cash in any major city in less than the time it takes a bitcoin transaction to go through. Now, I'll pay a premium for that fast service, but I may actually pay less of a premium than bitcoin transaction fees.
I doubt they're still mining. They got all their coins a decade ago, when mining (a) paid better per block and (b) was significantly cheaper. Why bother mining when you still have all those unsold coins?
I'm not convinced that there's no way to identify the auto-generated queries that make trackmenot useless. I used a double negative, but basically I assume that either now or in the future Google et al will identify the queries... to at least a reasonable degree.
But more importantly, we moved away from the "fully understand the contract" being a legitimate point of view. Heck, most contracts (including between companies which have legal departments) include instructions for what happens when a judge rules that some part of the contract wasn't acceptable. Most importantly, its unreasonable to expect "use Netflix/an ISP/cable/App Store" to require a law degree and several hours.
Citation needed for that "good engineer" comment. Good at building a small team of people with the right skills for a startup? Sure. Good at motivating teams, both small and large? Yup. Good at selling? Hell yes. But, to my knowledge, he never engineered anything. Even PayPal had him in a more leadership/money role.
There is a contingent that deeply wants to see Tesla fail because they view it as part of the environmental movement
There is a huge difference between wanting the company to succeed or fail, and considering it appropriately priced. It's why people long on Tesla "because they think it's the best car they've ever driven" are insane. I mean, yes, don't buy stock in a company if you think they make a shitty product and are likely to suffer in the marketplace. But that's separate from thinking its correctly or underpriced.
I think Tesla is overpriced, not because I want them to fail, but because I think it's not worth that much. I also doubt that I can maintain a short position until the market corrects, because there is a lot of emotion involved.
Right, but what I'm saying is that this move, and ads for other products, are completely different beasts. One is to make you further invested in the Netflix ecosystem. The other is to make more cash. On is defensive, the other greedy. And ads for products will drive people away. So there's no reason to think that they'll go there (based on this).

It's not Alexa being bundled in everything,. It's Google Home being bundled in most Android smartphones.

Because what's good for the company isn't hat's good for the person making the decision.

What revenue do you think the NYC city will lose out on? Because it's trying to collect tax information that's the "people's privacy" being violated.

PT Barnum was plenty rich in his lifetime.

Neat. If I don't gave any gas appliances in my house, I guess that means gas isn't important for anyone?
Even in that case, there's a huge difference between "I think the company will fail" and "I hope the company will fail."
Right of ways are valuable property rights and government subsidies.

So it's a simplicity of GUI issue? Or it's a key management issue? I'm just curious what the exact pain points are, and why they aren't solved yet./p.
