    Well they have peered with most major isps because it saves Netflix and the ISP the s*** ton of money to keep a local cache black box from Netflix hooked to the local node. So this point Netflix really doesn't have that much of bandwidth costs. not compared to the idea that they're paying for every stream bit by bit. they paid for one out of maybe a thousand streams bandwidth.

    Netflix doesn't get to do that. It's the same cost to Netflix whether I setup four autoatreamers just to make sure that Netflix it's not getting free money, or of my friends or someone else talk to make sure that what I paid for is consumed. Just because Netflix wants to provide less than people paid for, in order to pocket. Extra ill-gotten profit,. Doesn't mean that's a realistic plan or supported by physical reality

  3. That's fair enough those who don't accept security is just posturing, role-based countless dollars and time on a fruitless task, when they could have adjusted their life to function from a philosophy of everyone's going to know anyway. There are two ways to solve the problem. Eliminate it. And this case that one is a lost cause. The second way to solve a problem is to adjust your underlying system of operation to count on these sort of things happening and plan on not being able to predict when so that you are motivated to prepare and when it happens are not traumatized by it. Similar to how we learn not to cry and freak out just cuz it's raining on a day we want to play outside we learned to accept that sometimes it's going to rain. And we plan and prepare for it so that we don't have to care when it does.

    How many times does it have to happen over and over and over again before people realize, as soon as you monetize a situation, every slick-talking scumbag crawls out of the darkness try and get that money. and any credibility for what someone says goes right out the window because , now it's not about sharing ideas and discussing them. it's about whatever panders to the paycheck.

  8. Yes they do because in the pressure of the moment, they are told that if they don't then innocent or not it is doubtful they're going to be able to prove their innocence and if they don't want to have any more trouble necessary evil take the plea bargain. To most people being threatened by the most powerful incarceration machine in the free world is extremely intimidating. Especially when your experience in life is that the rules only help the people who make the rules and f*** everybody else due to selective enforcement and glaring exploits actually practiced by those in positions of reputation power and or financial advantage.

    Why would I send my kid to public school when most of public school is waiting for the teacher to shut up cuz you finished the homework 15 minutes into class before the teacher even assigned it. Because public School workloads are that lax and easy. People are in bad lessons from public school. Mainly that it doesn't matter how hard you work it doesn't matter how well you do .they'll never reward you with anything you truly value. Your time and freedom do as you choose and go where you want because you finished your work. If kids were rewarded with free roam time for finishing their curriculum for the week you can about guarantee they will get everything done by Monday or Tuesday, so that can go explore the world and live a while. if you give kids the freedom they burned by completing their daily responsibilities, will only ever be at school long enough to get their next week's curriculum. how would they waste their time with people when there's more interesting things to explore in the world?

    Well yeah. when Western Civilization collapses on itself due to over reaching somebody needs to be around to continue things. So it's important not to let any certain culture or one rule become dominant. Similar to farming crops, a social or legal monoculture increases chances of one critical point of failure or exploit affecting all.

    Because they're human. I'm only one smart enough to create such technologies are too smart to avoid awareness of the ramifications of what they built. People are responsible for their creations, and by extension any fallout effects of their creations. Responsibility is not passed. responsibilities stacks. Everyone who has a chance disrupt or prevent acts of violence and do not, share responsibility for the death toll. But the person who created the potential, retroactively receives responsibility for all effects in addition to the responsibilities held by everyone else involved

    This is the kind of misappropriation of technology for violent uses that makes developers kill themselves in later years, rise of the death count from their technology rises, so does the personal guilt of those that invented it, until they either embrace harming others as no big deal, or they kill themselves In chagrin. And the way you talk about it makes it sound like a good thing, that is justified but then again a good Word-Smith can make vacuum sounds sweeter ,to try and breathe, than oxygen. release the military could do is kill the developers of the technology and put them out of their misery. They are never going to have another night sleep without nightmares of those who died because of they selfishly ignored potential for abuse, when they developed the technology to bring joy.

    I speak of the USA. Casual and visious atrocities occur commonly and daily in the US throughout country. Here it is s brushed under the rug until someone wants to weaponize the concept for political means. Then a particular type of atrocity it is put in the media spotlight until the agenda it was providing for is achieved and then neatly tucked away back out of public awareness and documentation. The USA is not better. it's just more sneaky and willing to lie about itself to itself. And the house has no limits to its brutality as long as it fills the coffers
