So, say that every town/city in the country streamlined the process for handling "right of way" and reduced the asking price for access. Would this actually lead to an increase in competition or would it just lead to greater

I also know that Google is a system operated by humans who are responsible for its effects. If you operate a machine and it harms people, you are responsible. The fact that the harm was done by an automatic process does not change this. H

Someone who has a strong online presence will look better than someone who does not because then these public records will be more prominent. But you've failed to argue why this is something Google needs to take into considering when

Only that Google is responsible for the effects of their service. To a limit though, right? I mean, you wouldn't expect Google to be sued because someone bombed a location they got directions to via Google Maps. So, why in this case

Except in this case there was no defamation. The original news source is allowed to stay just as it is, Google (or anyone else) just isn't allowed to link to it.

I also think it's wrong that they didn't sanction the original publisher, which makes far more sense as a solution. The original publisher is fine in this case because the information is perfectly correct. Which is what makes th

This really is not the same as censorship, equating it does not make an argument. Explain how this is not censorship. The government in this case is forcing Google to remove (correct and public) information from their search engine becaus

Doing so would mean more people using Netflix, which means Netflix paying them more. How are you not describing exactly the model we 'benefit' from now with cable TV? And in what version of the future does the ISP not choose to

That would attract lots of new solutions from very savvy and deep-pocketed challengers, like Google, Apple, and other strategic investors. And if it doesn't? How long do we wait?

This is a good thing. Censorship is never a good thing. Just because you don't like information being made public, doesn't mean that you should be able to get the government to force other people to hide that information (assumi

Forget making fun of people Googling for "facebook" or "gmail" instead of using the simple URLs. I do this all the time actually.

Internet should be paid in bytes delivered. Then all the incentives will be aligned for all parties. That sounds like the interests will greatly favor the ISP. They can leave prices the same, institute a monthly data cap then gouge users

So, a merchant gets hacked and your credit card info is stolen. You notice fraudulent charges, call your credit card company and they reverse the charges and send you a new card. If someone gets access to your bitcoin wallet or whatever sto

Unfortunately the negative posters have more to gain. By putting down someone they get a minor lift up in their own self-image, while boosting someone does not provide nearly such a strong reaction. I think it has more in common with the

I think it's just pointing out that focusing on any one thing and proclaiming it wastes enormous amounts of resources when viewed at large scale can be a bit silly most of the time. I mean, why stop at April Fool's? As another per

I suspect there is an upper limit on the amount of solar energy that can used to power a rover at any given point in time. I'm assuming the nuclear option provides a much stronger power source.

DayZ, on the other hand, does almost nothing to teach you how the game is played, much less "won." That's because, with the internet, you can easily look up tons of information on how to play the game as well as getting tip
