I'm not sure about that. GM may lose a good amount of sales to Tesla, but being able to cut out the middle man from every new vehicle sale would more than make up for it.
if your president decides who sells what, where, when, and how... you aren't free.
"If your president..." - that's the only part I agree with.
Don't forget that you aren't free when you live in a society with a government. Freedom involves giving up some personal freedoms. For example, for my neighbors to be free to breathe clean air, my coal power plant's emissions are regulated. That is a government limiting personal freedoms for the greater freedom of all.
In the case of car dealers, they offer little of value, and should not be a required part of a car purchase. But you can't make a blanket statement that regulating commerce = evil.
I'm aware that cities of 50,000 exist. You're apparently unaware that farmers need Internet access in the modern age, too. Specialized weather data that a lot of them rely on has moved online-only for just one example.
Complain about no Internet for good reason? Phone companies are already ripping out copper anywhere that's not super profitable. The Universal Service Fund was created to guarantee them telecommunications access. It seems that Internet access isn't considered to be telecommunications by those who don't want to cover it. It's a gap that needs to be bridged, and soon.
But you are concerned about when a storm passes, which you can use radar for. Not because the wind stops, but because the particulates have finished passing over.
I interpreted it as him saying 5GHz is double what a microwave puts out - not almost, but way beyond microwaves. Missing that it goes way beyond 2.4GHz. And he also said "maybe lower" than 2.4GHz, which kind implied to me "maybe lower, but definitely not higher"
Your reading of it makes more sense, but you certainly didn't know what I was saying because you read his post differently.
They measure "wind" speed only if the wind happens to be carrying particulates (e.g., clouds, tornadoes). On a clear day, doppler radar will not show much, even with 50mph wind.
It was supposed to be an internal email. So it would have been securely transmitted and stored otherwise. Not to say this isn't a good additional safeguard.
the general population everyone has ideas that may not be the same as everyone else
Exactly. There are plenty of people who watch The Bachelor, but it's definitely not for me. That's about as close an example to a religion as I can come up with from pop culture. Or at least it seems to be with some people.
I should have been more specific - you can't do it for television. The 1992 Cable Act specifically calls out retransmission of broadcast TV as a service and declares that as something that must be licensed. Before that, it was ruled legal by the Supreme Court and not an infringement of copyright at all.
The antenna issue is what the ruling against them was based on. It's also how cable companies started. They put the antenna in a place that gets good reception and charge for the service of retransmitting that to you down your cable line. The content industry managed to get the 1992 Cable Act passed, making that illegal without a retransmission license.
The DVR in the cloud issue was a very minimized part of the ruling - hardly the basis of the decision at all. However, retransmission is never perfectly live anyway. Whether it's just delayed by a hardware encoder's buffer, or sits on a hard drive for several days, it's still a retransmission.

No, it doesn't. I don't keep a Facebook tab open, mostly for that reason.
There is no ad revenue to be made from a video recorded by a friend starting to play automatically in my feed. It plays the video, not an ad.
...as well as actual corporate lobby from GM, etc
I'm not sure about that. GM may lose a good amount of sales to Tesla, but being able to cut out the middle man from every new vehicle sale would more than make up for it.
I wasn't aware that Jackson had ever performed with The Supremes.
...low hanging fruit like cutting the 37% of their bandwidth used on videos by 20-30% by getting HEVC or VP9 really working well
If they wanted to tackle the low-hanging fruit, why not stop auto-playing video at all?

And as soon as the European Union or its member states adopt such a rule, this might be relevant.

Microwave does not mean microwave oven. Microwave is at the very least a range from about 1GHz to 300GHz.
And this is where you reply and tell me I missed the joke.
Rural people had at least 10 years to move back to civilization
So you think increasing overpriced real estate in the city and leaving more of the country underutilized is a good solution?
There are no walls outside if you go high enough (at least here in the plains states). Water vapor, rain, and snow, but no walls.
That's why most N radios won't let you pick "3" for instance.
Which is a silly restriction. If you have neighbors on 1 and 7 on 802.11G. 3 or 4 are just about your only hope for a clean enough signal.

Well....not nothing to do with it. I can imagine some actual heat being a result.

This is a day I wish I had mod points to give to an AC.

This is more like shutting down all email to stop Nigerian scams.
I use dnsexit.com - it's free, but it's not terribly great. Can be updated via script.
Have you heard of CNAME records? You still need a hostname for your dynamic IP.
