Oversubscription only works because the provider gets to terminate whoever they darn please, including consumers that actually try to use their bandwidth.
Show me a consumer that wants to get the most out of their connection, and I'll show you a consumer that will wind up on the business end of an ISP's "right to refuse service"
Better yet is to make it so NPE's or PAE's aren't needed int he first place.
Big corporations ripping off small fry inventors is the root of hte problem? Attack the problem directly and hold the corporations accountable for being rip-off artists.
Freedom of the press to expose this crap means little if the corporate overlords owning the media get to play the very same role we the people fear the government itself taking.
Whether it's from the government or the corporate elite, censorship is censorship.
Racial profiling works well because believe it or not, terrorists are often from countries that have either a government, a population, or both that have a beef with the United States.
This has an obvious correlation with race and nation of origin, and the benefits of racial or ethnic profiling are likewise obvious even if indirectly so.
Unlike with strip searching everyone from Kolechia though, we can do better than Arstotzka. We can be safe without being jerks. I bet you that the TSA would get a LOT more cooperation if it gave some common decency to the innocent bystanders it will inevitably run across while trying to sniff out the real terrorists.
But it's still wise to be suspicious of Kolechians. They're more pissed at Arstotzka than the others, so they're more likely to be trouble.
The blame belongs first and foremost at the feet of "our" congress critters for making perfection in security a mission in the first place.
The TSA is complicit however and shares the blame, due to the very same principle that allows the feds themselves to bust co-conspirators for aiding and abetting.
Netflix is a reseller of sorts, and you bet your bottom dollar they are paying licensing fees to the producers that allow them to commercially show them to the end user, and those fees are likely being based on viewership. Part of Netflix DRM probably includes information gathering for Netflix's beancounters.

To the idiot mods: Don't you know about WarGames?
Turn in your geek card.
Why barter for what you can take?
Federal judges are presidential appointments that can only be impeached by the same congress critters that are feeding from corporate troughs.
Think about this.
If you DID want to, would you even make it past voir dire?
Both options suck and you know it.
Especially because 9/11 takes our freedom as well as our lives.
Can't leave the USA, TSA will rape me...
Water is measured in gallons. Electricity is measured in kWh.
Comparison fail.

It's only criminal in a practical sense if the government decides to prosecute it.
Considering that lobbyists have invested money in getting corporations their way, fat chance.
Unfortunately, getting fired is the most effective way of ruining your productivity.

The system isn't broken, it's rigged.
A news outlet most likely owned by the greedy person in the first place.
Just like an overcooked steak.

Strangely enough I wouldn't consider nerds undesirable in the first place.
If Skynet ever takes over I would definitely want an army of nerds trying to stop it.
Nacho Cheetos!
Maybe the high priced snobs at the top of the supply curve need to pay better attention to what the market is trying to say.
Namely that the public is either too poor to afford their high class stuff, or doesn't consider it worth the price, or both.
Either way, you're charging too much.
I can't, there's a patent on that.
This is why I put "our" in sarcasm quotes.

So charge the NSA attorneys that got the warrants with perjury.
"Supported by oath or affirmation" after all.
They would rather burn the cake than share it.

Hollywood is definitely getting its cut already.
