Twitter isnt infrastructure. The internet is. This isnt a valid comparison.

So your argument is that private companies should be forced to amplify a person's speech? The genius of the first amendment is that yes you can spout whatever vile garbage you want but no one is forced to listen to you. It is also a fo

This is very annoying when I am trying to call someone back that requested me to call them. You specifically asked me to call and now I have to talk to a robot first.

I help run a ftth isp and we won't let you use your own modem either. I will gladly give you a passthrough port to use your own router though.

I live in a rural area and I don't actually know anyone that uses twitter except me. My wife's facebook on the other hand is a dumpster fire. Religion, racism, politics all day long with various ads for crappy little boutique stor

Even if you do, does it actually change that much? You cant actually stop the os on mobile from using its default browser for most of it's tasks. Firefox on iOS is basically a reskin of safari if I am reading it correctly.

We hired a great person to help take care of a loved one during the day but it was complete luck that that person was available. It was still awful and if he had become any harder to take care of, we would have had to put him in a nursing h

That is not universally true. We just started a new ISP and built fiber to 1300 customers. It took government grants to make it possible but it is happening throughout the country. Local electric co-ops are building fiber at breakneck pace.

We run our cows entirely on grass and hay throughout their time on our farm. Typically we sell calves at 700lbs. Then they may go to feedlots and taste corn for the first time.

It seems to be the opposite at my house, not that I can do any actual numbers. We have more deer, tons of squirrels that we never saw growing up. Turkeys that didn't even exist in the state. Flocks of geese that land in fields like nev

Is 'logged in' a useful metric? You authenticated months or years ago and now every facebook widget on the internet counts as a 'logged in' event just because a cookie still exists?

An EMP attack would destroy the power grid, your modern electronics may survive but without anything to power them.

If there is a breach shouldn't the service force a change to proceed or change them and force a reset?

Gently used at 100k seems like a strong ask. I commute two hours a day and get around ~20k miles a year. The car would be five years old at the point of 100k. Quicker than that and the person that owned it drove the crap out of it. Plastic

That should only change the asking price, not the actual sales price. Its not like the dealers are going to eat the loss. They just roll what they might lose into the new loan. I dont have access to the actual sale prices at auction to know

I agree with this. The failure to contain the spread is the problem and the government wasting all this time means we could have had much better containment by now.

Me too but that would be back to almost normal very quickly if the spread of the virus stopped. The hard work of stopping the spread is taking too long and is wasting the pain that we are causing.

The used car market has been inflated for years. 100k+ mile vehicles selling for over half their new price makes no sense to me.

I read back in mid-late February that Hawaii had shelves empty of toilet paper. It was only a matter of time for that to spread to the mainland. Did no one pay attention to what was happening?

If it helps at all catching the cough and sneeze aerosols then it has to help. A few layers of cotton would probably contain a goodly portion.

The process of homeschooling now may prove you wrong about the being around the kids part.

There is no way something like this won't cause tons of unintended consequences.

I dont think I understood or appreciated how unpleasant being a manager is. I like working and doing actual work. What does "incompetent" even mean. Dealing with personnel issues or actually doing valuable work? You get pulled awa

How many times do people who are good at their jobs get promoted just because there isnt anywhere else to go? You cant make any more money at the level you are without switching companies so you get stuck going into management. I got promot

Years ago I got the chance to try and operate a friction crane during some down time. I was just a laborer on college break but we were waiting on another large machine to do its work so the crane operator told me to come up and he showed m

I'm not sure exactly what the article is trying to accomplish but it does feel in about the right ballpark for the levels. I don't think I'll ever get to the vacation one but simply paying last debt off really took a lot of w

Its not the individual vote so much as the difference in effective power. Who cares how many votes he gets if he can spend billions of dollars to get what he wants. If he had the same sized speech as any average individual then who would ca
