- IanDrake 12y agoFuture HN comments when things go wrong: This isn't what we wanted... We never indented for X to be interpreted that way... It would have worked, but they didn't go far enough... It would have worked, but they went too far... We need this new law X to protect the cable companies because upstart Y's new technology doesn't have to deal with FCC regulation which gives it an unfair advantage... Give it ten years and the FCC will be about as popular as TSA or the NSA on HN.
- Randgalt 12y agoWhat's terribly sad to me is the pro-authority comments here on HN. The Tech world doesn't seem to understand the true nature of regulation. Well, they're going to get what they deserve to the detriment of everyone else.
- IanDrake 12y agoSure they will, but they won't blame themselves.
- angrymonk 12y agoI stopped arguing with them months ago. Now I just want this to pass exactly as they want ... Then I get to watch it blow up in their faces.
