  1. Re:All very nice on Elon Musk's Next Mission: Internet Satellites · · Score: 2

    It is not fault tolerant when you only have one provider selling the service. The seller has internet anywhere in the world now. We already have the tech. And we receive it via supply side economics. That is its single biggest point of failure. More money is spent on blocking the internet than building it. That is what we have to change.

  2. All very nice on Elon Musk's Next Mission: Internet Satellites · · Score: 4, Interesting

    But I don't relish the possibility of something like this having a kill switch. We need an internet that nobody can interfere with, independent of the current business model, we also need the same for food, shelter, energy, and transportation, so I guess I'm barking up a tree without a paddle.

    I really don't think anybody needs people like you lecturing us on our travel habits. Instead, maybe you should focus on the corruption in these markets and how they fix prices, and demand better machines that cause less damage.

    You people really think this is a coincidence, or about 'supply and demand'? How many times you gonna buy that bridge?

    Let me put it another way. Is it statistically noticeable? Do gas and cigarette taxes have to go up to match the losses?

    Actually, that's Steven Rosenfeld's response.

    Well, I figure he almost reads them right, seeing that the 'liberal democrat' is a farce and a fantasy anyway. There are no liberals in the roots of that party. There are no principles in either. There is only money. And the real liberals that are dumb enough to believe in them (for like 50 years now!) continue to carry their water in false hope. And none of this is new. The liberal faction has always been very small and ineffectual, acting mostly as a prop to provide the image of opposition. You will not see 'liberal democrats' with real influence and power. Those things turn everybody very conservative pretty quick. Obama was quite overt about it, but that's the way it has always been.

    As far as I can tell, voters roundly rejected authoritarian Democrats this time around.

    Survival of the fittest has nothing to do with individual response to individual stimuli.

    ...I am surprised that they are publicly admitting it.

    Why? They know that nobody cares, in fact the public wants more to *feel safe*. These people can rape your mother on national TV and still win an election. They don't have to hide anything anymore. The election results verify that every time. How to counter that should be the target of discussion. Then a solution to all these other issues will emerge.

    Then we may, "in principle" target the communications of government spies. It is the only way we can level the playing field. Since we have no privacy, let's take away theirs.
