One need merely look at the tweets Gab is making as a company from their own corporate Twitter tag (example) to realize the "free speech" thing is just a cover for their actual agenda.
They're not personally being held responsible for the losses and they're not going to lose business to the other phone company for providing crappy service.
Net neutrality doesn't relate to cable investment.
Agreed. Problem is all the anti-net neutrality people kept saying we had to get rid of it because it stifles investment, and as soon as its gone we'll enter a golden age where everyone has the most super internet access ever.
As with most promises that everything will be fantastic if we just let giant corporations do whatever they like, none of the promised benefits ever appear.
Ironically, the reason the movie moved the ending from Saturn to Jupiter was because they couldn't come up with a suitable visual effect for Saturn's rings.
Because right now, Seattle seems more like an abusive boyfriend stalking his ex and threatening anyone they start dating in hopes they'll have to come crawling back.
Shouldn't they be encouraging New York in hopes of as many Amazon jobs as possible getting transferred there instead of scaring the city off and keeping more of them in Seattle?
You got me. The Russians have been on this account for more than 10 years, slowly building up an excellent karma record, all in pursuit of a fiendish conspiracy that ends with snarking at an Anonymous Coward.;P
And believe me, it's sad to see one of our great minds turn into a nut.
I minored in physics at Penn State in the late 90s when he was at the Penn State Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos at Penn State, so I actually attended some of the original lectures he gave on QM. It was just as nutty back then. He basically dreamed up an entirely new particle that didn't exist in the standard model and which had never been detected and then postulated it interacted with microtubules in some unknown way to cause some unknown effect and *MAGIC* consciousness happens.
Even though it was known at the time that's not what microtubules do and that there's no way a neuron could maintain quantum decoherence long enough for it to have any effect on its synaptic function.
It is and always was a bunch of wishful thinking because Penrose personally couldn't deal with the idea free-will may be an illusion.
Roger Penrose also hasn't published any significant research since the 90s because he turned into a crank and has been spending his time appearing at "conciousness studies" conferences.
This Quantum Mind crap has been around since the 90s. It's just mysticism wrapped up in new jargon to sound all sciency to people who don't know what they're talking about.
It's not even a giveaway to rural communities, it's a give away to big telecom companies. There's already existing fees to pay for rural broadband. The telecom companies just take the grants and never end up building the stuff they promise and the government never calls them on it or forces them to return the funding.
...we sue AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon for the $400 billion of public funding they already received for rural broadband and just pocketed and we can use that to provide rural broadband?
The problems with C++ aren't with C++ per se, but rather with C developers who switch to C++ and continue using C idioms (e.g. an array is int * instead of std::vector)
The last few election cycles, the Pennsylvania GOP has been targeting democrats and non-voters in Republican heavy areas by sending out threatening letters containing a list of your neighbors, who they registered for, and if they voted, and threatening to send the neighbors similar letters after the election if you don't switch parties and vote.
If you write a song tomorrow, there will be a big corporation who has the power to sell the rights to that music without your permission, and you'll have to jump through their hoops if you want to get a portion of that money. They'll keep the rest as a fee for the privilege of them screwing you over.
Further more, if you try to sell the rights to your own song without involving them, they'll DMCA the results into oblivion.
This corporation will also be able to charge people for everything in the public domain.

They actually did try to do the same thing to Black Panther that they're trying to do to Captain Marvel now. They just failed.

"US paleontologists upset at increase in fossil bed destruction"
Once the fossils have market value other than to palenotologists, non-palentologists will just ignore any that turn up during excavations.
They're not personally being held responsible for the losses and they're not going to lose business to the other phone company for providing crappy service.
No, but I would stop giving them billions of dollars of tax payer money and start regulating them as utilities.
What do you mean, "No"? You just said the same thing I said?
Agreed. Problem is all the anti-net neutrality people kept saying we had to get rid of it because it stifles investment, and as soon as its gone we'll enter a golden age where everyone has the most super internet access ever.

That sort of appeal to ignorance (we don't know how X works, therefore any explanation is valid) is the essence of pseudoscience.

We will replace you. And all your coal rolling desperation does is tell us you know it too.

If work were interesting, you'd be paying your boss to do it instead of them paying you to do it.
If you type in "Nothing's wrong" and do an English -> English translation?
The key here is "unsettled". I can't just drive to Seattle and grab a lot of unused land for free.
