I think the parent is implying that the government would be better-off subsidizing the startup space or something else, rather than propping up a large incumbent that is failing.

I think the parent poster is more concerned with the fact that the ledger was available for guests to read.

Next they need to ban giving my personal info to 3rd party services. It's becoming common now to upload guests' personal info into cloud property management systems, and set up things like wifi with services that offer a discount

This is exactly the view that propaganda pushes. There are not two sides, but rather a complex tapestry of different actors with many different philosophies which are inconsistent and change over time. Compressing that all down to "two

Seeing the world in "sides" makes it hard to discern truth from propaganda.

I switched to Kagi and am it's definitely better imo, though doesn't feel nearly as good as Google from ~10 years ago.

Can you connect the dots a bit more than that? To me this just sounds like self-serving hand-waving.

Is the implication that we should therefore not try to come up with good rules?

It seems obvious to me that a system in which intellectual property can be ingested into an artificial intelligence system and then provide no value to the original creator is unsustainable. The value of content that is generated through re

This thought process makes some sense to me, though I have doubts about the implementation. Is fiber really the best fit for rural areas? What about some kind of wireless solution? Surely that would be more cost-effective?

Are you saying the price capping model doesn't work? If so I don't follow the thought process: you're comparing California (price capped) against the national average (also mostly price capped to some degree)

I'd be interested to see some kind of economic analysis of this program. On its face, the government subsidizing a for-profit company that has a monopoly seems like a terrible idea. Comcast already extracts monopolistic profits and thu

This article doesn't provide any detail about what claims are made, or who makes them. It doesn't even mention who owns copyright on the show. The one quote talks about how Jim Henson was well-liked... there is no mention of copyr

I guess the creative speculation about fatness being an evolutionary advantage over neanderthals is new to me. I do not find it at all compelling though and I'm as confused as you about why this is being upvoted

I had never heard the word "cromulent" and so that led me to a Mirriam Webster article describing how The Simpsons made the word up for a joke and then from there "seeped into our lexical consciousness". Worth a read! h

I suspect that wealth creation peaked generations ago, and now the richest generation is dying. Also could be that tax "avoidance" is at an all-time high is a contributing factor.

> If an account hasn't been used for an extended period of time, it is more likely to be compromised. Oh right, let's prevent a minority of people losing their accounts by making 100% of them lose their accounts.

Customer support is mentioned only once, in passing, in this article. But imo customer support is a huge problem for the platform. If you have a trip planned around staying somewhere and there's some major disaster, you need to be able
