Correction it has mountains close to 12000 feet near by and the Sierras about 3-4 hours north. Yes I know the Cascades are amazing Ive been, but I was simply pointing out that there are plenty of high elevation and forested mountains close

Depends on where you were living. Some neighborhoods are very walkable. LA like any major city has good and bad spots all over.

Yes but you were in Santa Monica one of the most touristed places in California. South bay sounds more your speed. Hot by your standards maybe and also has been hotter in recent years but generally speaking most people find Southern Califor

Not true. Many of these neighborhoods are extremely walkable. I used to live in one called West Hollywood

Excellent breakdown. People are quick to hate on LA. You cannot think of it as a traditional city. If you do your homework LA is an amazing place to visit with a ton to do and lots of friendly people to engage with under sunny skies most of

I actually find it a benefit that you can have a house with a yard in the middle of LA. Compare that to New York where people are stacked up on top of each other like ants. For the cost of a studio apartment in Manhattan one could rent a fr

You really cannot think of LA as a traditional city. It is a collection of sprawling neighborhoods. There are plenty of walkable neighborhoods in Los Angeles. This is a common misconception. More than in Seattle is my guess but Seattle is m

There are 12000 foot mountains within 2 hours of LA and visible from most of its sprawl. California has plenty of mountains all over.

Can you not see the potential of space exploration/settlement? There will be industries we can't even imagine that will be worth trillions. Imagine an economy that is more massive than all state economies on earth combined. That i

Excellent summary. Although I think you're far more likely to make Starfleet 0.5 in the private sector. This problem is too big for current governments because they can't ever agree and ideas will be weighed down by infighting&#x2

Disease and hunger will be ongoing for as long as we continue to be human. If it's not cancer or hunger it will be something else. Interplanetary travel is very obviously the next logical step for mankind. This doesn't have to com

You should fear ATT & Verizon much much more.

Doesn't answer your original question but I moved to syncthing from dat. It just works out of the box, no manual setup, and a very active community around it. Also opensource and in production for years with rave reviews, and being use

Very strange indeed that people are incredulous that you don't take stims. I love stims, especially modafinil. I don't think your methods are better than mine or that you would be more productive with stims. It's personal pr

It's a 20th century mechanical device and still the gold standard for transferring data from a human's brain to a computer. Mobile is not a replacement for that, yet.

My reasoning was that those most affected by NN repeal and potential loss of access (slow access) are those who would not be able to afford ISP price increases for what most reasonable people would consider open and equal Internet access co

From Wikipedia: The FCC's mission, specified in Section One of the Communications Act of 1934 and amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (amendment to 47 U.S.C. §151) is to "make available so far as possible, to all the pe

This. Completely agree. Google out competed established search engines when it released. AOL & Yahoo were entrenched. History flies in the face of what this article is trying to say. Tech giants can be out competed with new and better t

I don't think this is necessarily true. If proper regulations are in place Google and Facebook can certainly be out competed in some of their core services. Verizon and ATT threaten diversity much more than does Google or Facebook. Tha

You do know that TCP/IP packet data delivery is handled by network protocol right? Protocol is designed to work, not to please Verizon lawyers. Internet only works when neutral. Here is your argument: Regulation bad - Deregulation good

That misses the point. NN protections were enforced even if they were not codified by the FCC, through the courts. Once they were hard coded it made it a lot harder for ISPs to cheat. That's all 2015 was about, making it harder for ISP

My point was that the innovation from NN was a HUGE deal for the US economically and all the innovation came out of that, i.e. Netflix, Google, Amazon. If a country like yours has no NN protections then you probably won't see innovatio

Actually the voters elected a Democrat. The electoral college elected the Republican. Not your issue? I've followed your account for years. This is exactly your issue, and everyone in this community's issue. Without the Internet y

All of the services you mention were founded in the US on NN principles. We wouldn't have services like Netflix or Facebook or Google if NN had not been in place. What web services & startups have come out of your country recently

It's become clear that the Internet as we know it was too vulnerable in its current configuration. We need the Internet 2.0 that is designed to be neutral from the ground up. No one has solved the last mile problem because everyone was

I wanted to thank you for your efforts here. Would you have legal authority to stop the FCC from making this ruling? Would a judge actually be able to delay the vote?

Sure, corruption there. But repealing what's in place just makes it even easier for them do things like this and get a way with it too. What legal ramifications will consumers have now that the FCC is siding with ISPs? Any? We'll
