  1. Re:get government out of broadband and healthcare on Tom Wheeler Defends Title II Rules, Accuses Pai of Helping Monopolists (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have at least 4 choices for broadband where I live

    Consider yourself lucky. Maybe your brain tuned out this part of the summary so I'll copy it here again for you:

    There's "a monopoly provider for three-quarters of the homes in America, and no choice," Wheeler said in a forum (video) in Arlington, Virginia Monday hosted by US Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.). "When you've only got one provider, who makes the rules? The provider makes the rules."

    All monopolistic industries need to be regulated

    You're damn right. Hasbro should regulate them all.

    Why would you put a garmin watch on your cat and why would that affect your own sleep patterns?

    Since tehcyder has classified you as "Mr Average.", you may be interested in a top-secret military human hibernation experiment.

    What do you mean? An American REM or a Japanese REM?

    Like Santa Claus it (fitbit) knows if you are sleeping and knows if you are awake...

    And I think unlike Santa Claus, fitbit knows when you're having sex.

    WTF is Google News?

  14. WTF is "Google Photos"? Is it an app on Android? Something available on smartphones only? Is there a Windows, macOS and Linux version?

    ...predictive law enforcement.

    They need three companies to activate that feature. The first one is Google, the second one is Facebook. We know the third one won't be Apple, so which company will it be? Twitter isn't big enough and LinkedIn is a business-type-Facebook-wannabe. Amazon could be the third though I suspect they would keep the data for themselves.

  20. If Facebook wishes to grow its Western revenue at the rate its shareholders demand

    The shareholders seem to think we live in an infinite world with an infinite number of people with internet access. However, reality doesn't fit their growth models based on unicorn farts and pixie dust.

    Here goes: systemd, the cause of all modern Linux problems.

    systemd is completely backward in how unix systems are built. You're supposed to have tiny programs do one job and do it well. systemd is a huge monolith that's assimilating everything on its path.

    Wait, why does that sound familiar?

    Anyone know if the authors of systemd are getting paid by Microsoft, by any chance?
