    Yes. Don't the examples seem to refute the premise?

  2. How do we block sites we don't like? on Why We Need To Decentralize The Web (postlight.com) · · Score: 1

    But how will we be able to block sites that we disagree with?

  3. If you are willing to build a billion dollar data center, they might be interested.

  4. This is a good thing for the customer. They can test the performance of their website/app with both configurations and choose the one that they feel has the best cost/benefits.

  7. How dare you call me a Socialist!

  8. Sounds about right.

  9. Not a Trump hater, but it seems like anything done to discourage DDOS attacks needs to be public. I'm not sure how "secret" plans can be helpful on an open internet.

    You're right. We should consult Berkeley to make sure we've got the right ones.

  11. Re:How about bringing in the off shore cash pile? on Trump Says Apple's Tim Cook Has Promised Him He'd Build Three US Factories: 'Big, Big, Big' (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    We could lower corporate taxes so that they don't feel the need to keep their money out of the US.

    Or maybe even a Constitutional Republic where minority opinions and expression are protected.

  13. Re:Seriously? on Trump Administration Officially Delays 'Startup Visa' Rule (sfchronicle.com) · · Score: 1

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... "The Startup Visa Act had bi-partisan support but was not passed into law." I meant the Rule of Law.

    What if the car doesn't have a steering wheel, pedals, or any other way to control it besides a voice command telling it where to go?

  21. Re:Fighting it is evil on Apple Will Fight 'Right To Repair' Legislation (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    What if the phone simply isn't repairable. You are allowed to do what you want to it but, because of the way it is designed, it can't be easily repaired, no manual can be written, and it doesn't make sense to create replacement parts?

  22. Re:the real reason theyre arguing it. on Apple Will Fight 'Right To Repair' Legislation (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Would owning your own device and not having the company attempt to legally stop you from repairing it be enough? Do you also need the company to provide repair manuals, replacement parts, and manufacture the phone in such a way that it eases your repair job? It that also necessary to "own your own device?"

  23. Re:Fighting it is evil on Apple Will Fight 'Right To Repair' Legislation (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    I think the legislation would force the company to provide documentation and replacement parts. So, I guess you are... against it?

  24. Is that it? For having run for a fair amount of time, it seems like a small list.
