You're thinking too small. Disruptive technologies are disruptive so often because they bypass the current infrastructure. Ford didn't need horses, Lyft didn't need a fleet of taxis. Maybe the next disruptive broadband compan

Not someway, somehow. I gave a concrete example of how it will correct itself. If we wish to talk about hand waving, consider all the "the internet is going to blow up!" hysteria[0] going on right now from the pro-NN side. [0]: h

Are you counting wireless as an option? We're beginning to see some folks use their mobile carrier + tethering as their home internet, often times with better speeds than their cable internet. And what does the future hold? Undoubtedly

I understand you're being sarcastic, but pro-NN folks like the OP are claiming that big business will shut down attempts to reinstate NN. That's an incorrect claim; some of the largest, richest, most powerful companies on the plan

Yes, you're right, regulations make it more difficult. But if startups have taught us anything, it's that businesses find a way to disrupt existing economies even in the face of regulations. Ironically, Net Neutrality (NN) is itse

They're free to do so; companies exist to make money. Cable internet carriers probably will attempt something like this. The next thing that will happen is, when Comcast goes too far, another provider (cable? wireless carrier? satellit

Many of those big, rich companies (Google, Amazon, Netflix, etc.) are in favor of net neutrality.

The Facebook app should sync comments on Facebook with those on the blog. So, you could just reply on Facebook, which would then automatically get posted to the blog. As for the other way around, when a reply is posted on the blog to a comm

Right, we don't want that. I think it's technically possible to do the following: 1. I, as the blog owner, authorize this Facebook app to access my Facebook page. 2. I tell the Facebook app the URL of my blog. 3. That Facebook app

That's not it. I don't want Facebook comments embedded in my blog. I want comments that were made on Facebook to appear on my blog's native comment system. Outside the walled garden.

As a blogger of 15 years, the issue to me now is that comments almost always take place in Facebook or Twitter, not on my blog. I blog. Then post the link to social media. I'll get tens or hundreds of comments on social media, but mayb

That's still discrimination based on the color of a person's skin, regardless of perceived intentions. I remind folks that Dr. King's vision was that people be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of thei

You can look at the raw stats yourself here[0]. I did some quick calculation here, and it looks like attendance is not lower, in fact, it's slightly higher. 2016 average attendance was 66,586, while this year's average attendanc

Clever take on a vintage concept. Nice work. Assuming you've kept the price of a pixel at 0.001 Ether, you've made 61.7 Ether. At today's market value, that's roughly $18,000. Not bad!

Some conspiracies turn out true, yes. But a great many do not.

The problem with this is it's essentially a conspiracy theory. To be sure, internet shills exist. But it's punting, and intellectually lazy, to simply dismiss arguments as, "This guy is arguing X; clearly he's a paid shi

I'm biased (I work part-time for the company), but RavenDB[0] 4.0 is damn fast, cross platform, and has beautiful tooling. It's built on .NET Core, and our current performance is 140k writes/sec. We also bend over backwards t

I see this fallacy repeated often. "Hello World is 12 MB - just imagine how big a real app will be!!!" Hello World doesn't benefit from that 12MB. Your real app would. 12MB is not for Hello World. 12MB is for Hello World + Co

There's definitely a cost to all that coziness; it's all about tradeoffs. Garbage collection, bounds checks, APIs that trade memory efficiency for ease-of-use, to name a few. It's not to say that C# will always be 10x memory
