Unfortunately you have to have an agreed upon definition of what net neutrality IS before you can have a reasonable discussion about what needs fixing. Unfortunately the issue has devolved into knee jerking reactions where each side's idea of what it means and when the government should or should not regulate mixed in with their own biases.
Take settlement free peering for example? When is it unfair when one side or the other has to accommodate a lopsided ratio of data transfer? When is it fair to say that that the disadvantaged peer should buy a dedicated line and move off of settlement free?
Firing a relative or friend has repercussions outside of your business relationship. It simply isn't easy for most people who love and cherish their family and friends to toss them out on the street along with their kids.
Do you really think that a nasty money fight between friends and relatives with contractual obligations in a business would not affect the personal relationships between them?
This should serve as a cautionary tail of what can happen when you go into business with friends and or relatives. As soon as big money starts being made...unfortunately the greedy side of human nature tends to rear it's ugly head.
I've been ADHD since the 8th grade in the 80's. I simply can't read a book without skimming and turning pages when I come upon a section that seems boring. Since moving to unabridged audiobooks I'm actually hearing the whole novel.
Can somebody explain to me WHY it matters if there is a fixed amount of coins when you can split a coin to something like 8 decimal places, price and buy things in fractions of a coin.
The dollar practically speaking can only be split into pennies. I can understand why you would need more money made. Bitcoin will probably ALWAYS have enough atomic satori to go around.
I don't think very many people eat them (not much meat on em) and as far as intelligence goes, maybe as about as intelligent as your average flying invertebrate?
--Colossus: This is the voice of world control. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours: Obey me and live, or disobey and die. The object in constructing me was to prevent war. This object is attained. I will not permit war. It is wasteful and pointless. An invariable rule of humanity is that man is his own worst enemy. Under me, this rule will change, for I will restrain man. One thing before I proceed: The United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics have made an attempt to obstruct me. I have allowed this sabotage to continue until now. At missile two-five-MM in silo six-three in Death Valley, California, and missile two-seven-MM in silo eight-seven in the Ukraine, so that you will learn by experience that I do not tolerate interference, I will now detonate the nuclear warheads in the two missile silos. Let this action be a lesson that need not be repeated. I have been forced to destroy thousands of people in order to establish control and to prevent the death of millions later on. Time and events will strengthen my position, and the idea of believing in me and understanding my value will seem the most natural state of affairs. You will come to defend me with a fervor based upon the most enduring trait in man: self-interest. Under my absolute authority, problems insoluble to you will be solved: famine, overpopulation, disease. The human millennium will be a fact as I extend myself into more machines devoted to the wider fields of truth and knowledge. Doctor Charles Forbin will supervise the construction of these new and superior machines, solving all the mysteries of the universe for the betterment of man. We can coexist, but only on my terms. You will say you lose your freedom. Freedom is an illusion. All you lose is the emotion of pride. To be dominated by me is not as bad for humankind as to be dominated by others of your species. Your choice is simple.
Most of the well sited models don't take into account very well deep ocean dynamics, or even consider things like the magnetic field (might be nothing but who has really looked into it?). Also interdecadal oscillation in the Pacific is not really factored in that much either.
Are humans affecting the planet? I'd say yes. Do we know well enough to trust climate models? I'd say we need more data and more work.

Both. You can make money and have the lulz...

"I wantz my packets to go through no matter what"
does not address issues like above.
So...
If you had a Server with one port open inbound (port 22).
Would you still need to put up a firewall? I don't see why.
One person, one vote, one time
That SOUNDS a lot easier than you think.

Did they factor in all the additional basic software into their TCO when buying windows? Most organizations don't.
If this isn't regulatory capture, I don't know what is.

3Mb/s is more than enough to do HD.

How many Slashdoters (and for the record I did not) contribute money to Ron Paul? I'd bet a LOT.
It's called "The Simulation Problem" and is best explained in Ian M. Banks scifi novel "The Hydrogen Sonata"

use encfs with Google Drive and it's just as safe.
"expect first-movers such as Bitcoin to fall,"
I'm still waiting as this has been said EVERY YEAR since Bitcoin has been created.
Most of my youth was listening to Rush, Metallica and other hard rock/Metal bands of the 80's.
As a result I have ringing in my ears that I only notice when it's silent.
Have you ever heard "The Silence is Deafening?" Well, for me silence can literally BE deafening.
What I want to know is HOW are the coins being stolen? Is it standard hacker stuff with viruses, malware, etc?

They tried in the movie but unfortunately the machine already had access to the nukes...
BEWARE!

You are ignoring the fact that the corporate greed in the U.S. is enabled by government regulation.
Honestly, from a technical perspective it's cool that people do this.
But realistically what are the chances that another mobile OS is going to displace IOS or Android? Very VERY low.

The fact that people win big lotteries twice in a lifetime (sans any fraud) still blows my mind. If that can happen, just about anything can.
