This is my new favorite name for a residential street.
- twothamendment 9y agoI'm partial to Five Card Draw. The street, not the game. Now how do I get dead people to vote for things I want?
- d-sc 9y agoFunny you say that. I used to drive by that street on the way to school.
- __jal 9y agoEasy! Browse this database to select the telecom firm you find most compatible with your ethical standards: https://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/issuesum.php?id=TEC https://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/issuesum.php?id=TEC Drill down to find a list of firms who can recruit dead people and random special interests (see here from some of the interest groups who will rent you their outrage: http://stopthecap.com/2009/10/02/special-report-astroturf-overload-broadband-for-america-one-giant-industry-front-group/ http://stopthecap.com/2009/10/02/special-report-astroturf-ov... ).

- curiousgal 9y agoHN is so fast I use it to test my internet issues. It’ll be hard to throttle it.
- epmaybe 9y agoAdditionally, why would any ISP throttle a site with as little traffic as HN? Edit: I say "little" in comparison to the seriously high traffic sites like Netflix or Google.
- yebyen 9y agoThey're not doing it for bandwidth conservation, it's a way to extract rent from companies that are (already paying someone for) using the internet to reach their customers.
- brightsize 9y agoI'm imagining a situation where Susan Startuper wants her HN fix 20x a day just like everyone, but refuses to pay for the "Hacker Channel" subscription with her ISP. She still gets access but only at 128kb/s. In some areas there's just one ISP and it doesn't offer the Hacker Channel. DNS resolution of news.ycombinator.com fails for all of its customers. Max-Beer street would start looking pretty good, especially if Max-HN was also available there. I'd be interested to know what, if any, effect the demise of net neutrality would have on American service providers with foreign customers.
