It's an interesting idea, but unlimited is nice. This idea kinda reminds me of how the telephone network works. Basically everything a call is connected, there's a "dip" fee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

Do Google and Facebook really sell data? From my understanding, they keep the data for ad targeting, feature/content recommendations. Like if I place an ad on Facebook I could put 18 to 35, who likes travel, etc to promote a hotel book

Selling your entire internet history sounds very wrong to me. Unless it's anonymized for like statistical purposes, sorta like saying Google.com is the #1 website like Alexa does. I just wish instead of having 100's of pages of re

Yeah, I do think more competition between providers would naturally solve a lot of these problems. There's to much politics involved, even for a company as big as Google. At&t for example suing in Louisville. The FCC and states sho

I don't think we really need more regulations in this area. There is already a bunch of privacy related laws on the books. Plus using data to improve the user experience, recommendations(YouTube, Netflix), targeted ads seems pretty nea

Seems like an interesting idea. With California being the only state in the country doing this, I wonder what is there to stop people from other states using it. Someone from Washington or Texas driving up and getting a short term apartment

Oh wow, pretty neat and surprised it took just 24 hours. For some reason it reminds me a bit of the Monsanto House of the Future at Disneyland. I wasn't even born yet when they took it down, but randomly found videos of it on YouTube o

Redemption period I know of for when domains expire. But if you do the grace deletion it's pretty much instantly. I was debating on a domain once with myself, deleted it and then a day or so later registered it again. Usually you can d

I wonder if maybe someone had that domain and then deleted it. Dynadot(and probably others) for example lets you delete domains for a partial refund within a certain limited amount of time - which I think is a neat feature. I know there are

Wow. Starting an ISP on credit cards and $2,500 cash. Very resourceful. I guess it also helps also knowing this stuff since you worked at a datacenter. I wonder what kind of regulations there are for something like this being wireless. Soun
