  1. You'll keep the internet and they will use cable style methods to extract the lost revenue. I pay $105 for 200 down 10 up, I miss my 50 down that varied from 50 to 65 dollars. But CableOne started experimenting with caps and overages finally settling on a moderate to small cap with a three strikes your out (or must upgrade) for overages. I went over 3 times and boom 65 (iirc) went to ~112 then I bought my own modem now 105. I'm on my third strike thanks to a family of internet users and Netflix 4k in addition to console and pc game downloads, my only option is to upgrade to the next to the last plan and pay more and get 200 more gb. Im out after this, 10 down dsl is much better at realistic prices and this bizarre aversion to throttling at cap. They'll get cable money and internet money even if you don't want to pay for cable.

    You should support it because it's hugely useful to the country overall and it's an institution enshrined in the Constitution. We're in this together irregardless of what's benefiting to just you.

  10. Nah I got lost thinking how interesting this really is as I try and reconcile that with my utter distaste for Google and the way they have their fingers in so much personal, local, regional, national and international data.
    They are just not a pleasant company anymore and I am so wary of anything they decide to do.

    Science or not, funneling American wealth to third world countries via a non-binding agreement is enough of a reason to oppose participation in this treaty and to be glad it was never submitted to be potentially ratified.

    No spin needed, I for one just vehemently disagree with the push for computer science mandates in early education. Civics, the arts, personal finance, nutrition, so many things are much more appropriate than programming and iPads and all that junk.

    There is nothing overblown or dramatized about this article, nothing at all. I mean it's vaguely interesting but seems to miss the forest for the trees and blathering about colonialism isn't doing it any favors either.
