Bandwidth falls apart on saturated media. Some guy using 100x the average is definitely going to affect the network more than just the 100x they are using.
It's kind of like the streets in your neighborhood. Everyone knows what reasonable use of those roads is. But what about the family with a dozen cars taking up all the street parking? Or worse, if they all just kept driving around and around the block all day. Sure, the other people can get in and out, but it's a goddamned pain in the ass. These people are paying the same rate (rent or property tax), but they are taking far more their fair share. Abusing unlimited accounts is the exact same thing. People who use orders of magnitude more than a reasonable average shouldn't expect to pay the same as anyone else.
I kind of like how ATT does it: you have a set amount of data, but you can save up unused data from previous months. You pay for the share of the network you plan to use, but there is some leeway.
That money isn't actually in the stock market. They are trading pieces of paper that say they own a small percentage of some company and making side bets on the rise and fall of those prices. The amount of money printed on that piece of stock is already is someone else's hands. Money comes in and goes right back out again.
Actually, to do it correctly, you DO give everyone a check for the UBI, and then you get rid of most income deductions. Including most of the progressive income tax. Why work my ass off to make $10k a year when I could do nothing and make... $10k a year? Instead, every hour someone works means more money for them, and you just tax that new income at 25% right off the bat. That pretty much pays for it. (Not for nothing, we kind of DO have this plan for everyone who is under 18 or above 65. And it costs us 12.4% of our paychecks.)
I suspect that the body is fairly good at conserving the micronutrients until we hit a certain age. The 29 year old lifelong vegetarian will be fine, but shit will start cropping up after that.
In the Netflix case, however, authorization is granted by Netflix, not you. You don't have the authority to give more people access to the service than Netflix would allow. As was said above, this is about access to systems and who is allowed to grant that access.
The internet was designed to be open, ipv6 serves to fix what has been broken. There is nothing that ipv4 NAT can do that ipv6 can't do either or better. Get with the future.

So what you are saying is that people should go get jobs? Isn't that the problem?
Dude, money almost literally grows on trees. It's made of paper.
We kind of already have this: your basic income is $7.25, and for that, you have to work 1 hour.
Nonsense. You work for the amount of money that is printed on your paycheck. The rest is just accounting.

What's unreasonable about it? I'm pretty sure I have an entire folder full of emails telling me blogger is getting shut down.
That's not really the same, though, is it?

When is the last time someone was successfully prosecuted on the basis of that law?
It check out.
Name one.
Says who? Just go buy some.
Who??
Any examples?
No, of course not. This problem is solved. Program the autonomous driver to follow the same rules that us mere humans have to.
Your identity is not private. Anyone can see what you look like.
That already happens. Many cancers will secrete hormones and neurotransmitters. They just do it in an uncontrolled fashion.
I think he's making a tortured SI prefix joke.
No. http://www.tomshardware.com/re... Also, we've known about this for like a decade.
So just use a private ipv6 network or tell your router not to route packets into your hosts?
