Thanks to the lack of Net Neutrality, we're encouraging everyone to use the Internet a bunch right now. Keep using Netflix/AmazonPrime, and strengthen our bargaining position with them. And don't worry about us, internet usage that doesn't strengthen our bargaining position (e.g. peer-to-peer networks or torrents) are about to go away entirely.
How does "Volkswagon's profits are being taken away via fines" correspond to "the prices of my spare parts are going up"? I'm going to need some explaination
It's not in anyone's interest to cripple this company
Why not? Bankrupt the company. (Or don't if you think the crime wasn't extreme enough. But I have no problems with fines completely wiping a company out.)
Discrediting an alternative currency, which the government can not control, to protect their own fiat papers is the motive. As for the means â" recall the NSA buying computing power by the acres...
If the US government decides to bring down bitcoin via sustained 51% attacks then bitcoin is going down. It's not a "discrediting" it's literal destruction of the currency's functionality. Much the same way as if the US government decided to bring down the currency of some small nation by conquering it.
Now, I think both of those unlikely. But they are both well within their capabilities.
Is the expectation we adopt crappy replacements to "allow them to mature?"
I think the argument is that if Netflix/Google/Facebook/Amazon/MS/Apple want to make advances in video encoding, they have to be willing to have a team that will produce work consistently worse than the state of the art for years, and hope it catches up and exceeds. It's a huge cost and leap of faith, had to imagine it happening.
I'll even wager the 4 major mobile carriers will have an edge over Comcast because they can bundle home internet with the mobile phone package.
And yet Comcast is already doing this. They use everyone's home WiFi hotspots to create a WiFi everywhere (urban) network, and have giant transmitters making up some of the holes. Of course, they have (probably a block buy from one of the four major ones) airtime on mobile. But they seem to bank on wifi for most of he data.
I know algorithms cannot be patented, but an implementation can be. "Use XYZ to compress arbitrary bits" is as patentable as "Use XYZ to compress video bits".
Now, our business has the choice of exactly *one* shitty ISP. Fucking wonderful.
There are a lot of reasons to hate this, mostly dealing with concentrated content/IP ownership. However, IIRC, the ISP service is being (or already was) spun off.
You also left out that pre-NN from the FCC, the FTC could regulate ISPs. The FCC stepped in after the Supreme Court told the FTC they weren't allowed to regulate the ISPs any more (but the FCC could).
You probably don't need a team of scientists, but knowing what will show up on satellites, or what the impact of agreeing to X is going to do to their ability to make bombs seems important. Otherwise, how is he going to know if the tradeoffs make sense.
the FBI should be able to audit how many queries are made per state
Well, these weren't for purchases,but for CCL. Even for sales, the number of requests could far exceed sales (people changing mind, double checks) or be drastically under sales (people buying 2 guns at a time).

You better tell the Supreme Court. Even using IR cameras requires a warrant. (At least to peer in people's houses)

Well, the number of 51% attacks is apparently non-zero and increasing...
Everyone mocked California. Then it was explained the use case was for business vehicles (like delivery trucks) where the tracking was a feature.

Question: What are your upload speeds like?
Also, Gigabit major cities are clearly coming to the US. But while you may be sparsely populated compared to NYC, you're not compared to Wyoming.

It's still better than Google: "Whatever man, you got his permission" or Facebook: "I'll hold down my little brother."
Of course they support V8. It's a critical part of their engine. Not only that, they opensourced their work on it.
Let's start by punishing the bad actors that we can. Build up a body of precedent. Then use that to go after other bad actors.

The general algorithm was probably patentable if the specific implementation was. Just expensive to get done.
Why would scrum or agile be on your resume? It's like listing all the languages you've programmed in.
Have a site or two you could point me to?

Because in 2015 the Supreme Court said the FTC wasn't allowed to handle those issues, and the only government agency allowed to was the FCC.
Also, changing their behavior causes huge changes. Changing a small company's behavior causes small changes.

When? What good deals are you talking about?
Oh, you mean its a good deal when you don't live up to your half? Yeah, not paying is usually a "good deal".

Well, people at this level of authority in the federal government are hired based on the civil service exam. Specifically to fight patronage.
