Agreed. Much like public utilities. The Internet is already a public utility in my mind, but we still regulate it like cable television. That must change. But, looking to utilities, one sees the democratization and decentralization, due to battery and solar technologies, taking place in that sector. It would be wise to leapfrog some of the solutions and get straight to a decentralized, private-mesh/public-utility solution as soon as possible.
- throwaway98237 10y agoThanks for the feedback (down-vote). Would appreciate an accompanying comment. Then I could reconsider my position and perhaps alter it.
- oldmanjay 10y agoPaying attention to the downvotes on your comments isn't terribly helpful on HN. Mostly it just leads to more downvotes.
- throwaway98237 10y agoThanks for telling me how HN works. I've never been here before. Oh wait. I've been here for years. So, my experience has let me to a different point of view than you have. But, you know, thanks for making those assumptions and giving your your advice.
- oldmanjay 10y agoI assumed that a person who broke a well-known community convention may be ignorant of the convention. Feel free to continue breaking them with your throwaway.
- throwaway98237 10y agoConventions are meant to evolve. But boy, do you really like making assumptions. Show me a rule I'm breaking, and I'll gladly revise my behavior.
