Comcast already has tiered service. You can get different internet speeds for different monthly fees.
If ISPs are already offering tiered service, what is all this stink about?!
I get that they might choose to block competition, which seems wrong.
Yet, then perhaps they need to spin-off that competing division.
This would de-monopolize these creepy behemoths.
It seems to just show that there needs to be rules in place that prevent any entity from obstructing another entity from freedoms to distribute.
They ought to call it mandatory neutrality!
1. Load ship w/ coal; charge batteries while loading.
2. Go 50 miles.
3. Use coal to generate electricity to recharge batteries.
4. Repeat step 2-3 until coal is used up.
5. Die of lung cancer because this ship is way too little way too late.
Ahhh! And some insight into the roots of some "Fake News" becomes apparent.
Agreed, totally, with 'ytene', and generally, with 'rmdingler'.
The "Fake" part is that it is apparent that some reports expect us to believe that, even though this launch is (new), that there is something 'old' causing issues.
Shame on the initial reporter to suggest or imply that an old program is to blame.
More like new personnel doing poor jobs putting this rocket together.
Yep, there seems to be lots of inaccuracies and speculation (or just plain manipulation) in the reporting.
Yet, that mis-programming hypothesis, while likely a valid one, may also not be fact.
The point: Now, more than ever, it is harder to get real facts from our AGING JOURNALISTIC (reporters/systems)!

This article must have been posted for purely trolling purposes!
Any semi-intelligent adult knows that ANYTHING done at home is cheaper.
One's time at home making coffee is usually considered valuable stress-free (meditation) of sorts; just an added benefit.
It could be argued that home brew coffee is much more to preferences than any other service.
So, fine! DON'T by a coffee-shop coffee for $2.50! Don't by a deli sandwhich for $8! Don't buy a deli salad for $7!
Go home for breakfast/lunch/dinner! Then, invest your savings!
Now get back to work finding important articles worth reviewing!
Ah, yet, ye are missing important ramifications.
If AI is outlawed, only outlaws will have AI.
And, if AI proceeds to outperform humans, then we are at the (lack of) mercy of such outlaw AI.
If we fail to develop AI, and keep ahead of it, we risk becoming subject to whatever it becomes.
And that may not be a good thing for humans.
Just more proof that we are "monkeys with a machine gun" idiots!
Technology is being allowed to be given to entities that do not the proper use.
And, this is further proof that this internet thing needs to be regulated as a PUBLIC UTILITY which, ultimately, means that NET NEUTRALITY is a MUST.
I'll bet that even small cats have more "grey matter" than Mr Trump!
Which, while tends to not be directly correlated to intelligence, does reduce the chances of any intelligence at all!
I seem to remember something about a pee-sicle happening in the past up there.
Which implies that human waste is ejected from the ISS into space.
I know that when I pee out of my moving car, it gets all over the car!
I never checked the bacteria there, yet there does sometimes seem some strange crap on my car that is NOT from my pee!
Yet, on a serious note, whether from earth-based human activity or not, it does seem that life from elsewhere in the universe should not be a surprise.
Face it: We are too stupid, in general, to fight off corporate control if we are voting for the likes of Trump, and then NOT correcting our mistakes urgently!
Folks need to start standing up for what is truly RIGHT for society, not just for the self.
Quantum is out, and it works, and it is faster than prior versions of Firefox, yet there are a myriad of extensions that do not work on Quantum - STILL!
The fubar thing here is that these extensions desperately need porting ASAP!

I think I'm safe.
I wear my tin foil hat all the time.
And, I asked Santa for a tin foil suit for Xmas!
...US military, which is engaged in conflicts all around the world that do not concern the US at all.
Ahhh, yet ye forgets all of those 'Industrial War Complex' corporations that need clients for their products, which keeps Americans employed. Right?

"Doesn't build industries"?
SpaceX???
Boeing and Lockheed expansions...?
What are you talking about?!
No private entity should have any control over services that are public infrastructure-supporting.
Not electricity.
Not roadways.
And not telecommunications or internet.
Military vehicles!
Just shove astronauts in with the next military satellite for a ride to space!
The military has tons of money now!
Seems to me that this "slowing" of improvements could only be just a plateau.

And that open source local device could also have the ability to actually order something - yet only on special commands.
Still, how does one ensure desired security and privacy?
Only YOU know what is garbage to you.

Dear Mr Trump: Your insecurity is showing! Try honest, transparent, reasonable actions and see if that gains any new allies!

WAKE UP, people. WAKE the fuck UP!
Shouldn't actual extensive testing provide enough data to determine the efficacy of such a platform?!
Regardless of what's "under the hood"?
If it absolutely works at least as good as any alternative, then it seems a good tool, no matter how the process is done.
Agreed! WTF?!
Twitter is allowed to voice any opinion, just not allowed to block or otherwise interfere with any other access.
Dear Ajit. PLEASE step down and allow a QUALIFIED person into your post!
WHAT EXTENSIONS (for Quantum)?!
Quantum is out, and it works, and it is faster than prior versions of Firefox, yet there are a myriad of extensions that do not work on Quantum - STILL!
