I enjoy your snarkiness daniel, but I think it's a bit more complex than "I'm so clever", FDE is a feature of MacOSX, Ubuntu, and .. I dunno.. probably Windows by now? Who cares. They can essentially use all the tactics

ah you kind of said similar things to me while i was typing another comment. I think it's dangerous to be too sweeping with things like, "sites owned by the parent company of the ISP will be as smooth as butter." Let me expla

My initial reaction, I have to admit, was roughly yours. I read on, hoping to find some kind of innovative notion, some x factor that would be a real game changer, annnnd I smacked right up into this: "Founded by Morris and Lane Moore

That is quite frustrating, and consumer vendors should be mindful of creating life-changing experiences. Also: backups. I know it sounds cliche, but look, if it has a mechanical hard drive, the manufacturer could have slightly mis-calibrat

This is a very valid concern, but what if a private small business provides me an encrypted broadband connection over municipal fiber, which saddles the city / county with the _physical_ problems, and sacrifices a little bit of latency

If you live or have an office in SF, my understanding is that you have PG&E. At least once per decade for several decades, there have been impassioned efforts to implement municipal power in SF, to transfer all of the PG&E assets a

"Which bugs are these?" My favorite is, at least a couple years back, if you had a KVM guest with an ext4 filesystem in an image file, on an ext4 filesystem, the guest OS could corrupt the host OS. #winning Obviously, ext4 is larg

Totes respect and thank you for your poignant correction. [EDIT: this has to be the randomest rant in response to a grammar correction of all time, but I was surprised to find no ideological responses at all, and I wanted to pontificate ;d]

That's exactly what I was trying to get across, if I did so poorly, I apologize. This is _precisely_ the discussion I want to have. Transit is not the same as interconnect, we should have some private competition, but if an entire city

And I totally respect that. I have nothing against well crafted timepieces, or even valuable things, maybe inherently. I'm just saying, of the two ideas his "incubator" has done so far, that stood out as being particularly o

A bit of delicate feedback: perhaps 'product' is a word that could be replaced with a differently-shaped synonym.

I agree with making it possible for the common person to get involved, as well. The problem with current Title II negotiations is that they still only involve top-level government officials and corporate execs. I'm afraid of making th

I think that the city should offer minimal service / support, and that there is opportunity for small or other businesses to buy and resell capacity wholesale, including a more full service install process. Local power monopolies in ma

I definitely agree, and this is one reason I advocate against overly harsh or vindictive rules that are unbalanced against ISPs because of our feelings about AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner - it would bite us later if we have a mass

I thought about this when I first started reading about municipal broadband, and I think if the local gov was required to wholesale out its' capacity the same way Title II utilities like AT&T have to now, small ISPs would be in a f

I think what's troubling people about the e-mails, and I'm not sure it's 100% clear cut, is that while it is plausible that this was a clumsy interaction, it seems more likely that this was classic bait-and-switch, and that t

I'm implying that they are "watering down" the legislation. If you aren't a native english speaker, this may not have come across clearly. My implication is that Netflix is trying to accomplish something in their intere

Just because YOU don't remember it doesn't mean it didn't happen. In the ensuing time since four and a half years ago, other things than the singular event you linked have happened. Those three companies definitely put forth

Yes, we could go far down that road, I just think Netflix makes for a poor example case. They have stirred up a lot of this discussion, which is not about them at all. Furthermore, "configured sanely" would not be neutral, IMO.

It would be a stinging defeat for their expensive lobbyists, who will be fired. Comcast, Time Warner, AT&T, and Verizon won't change much. A lot of people forget that AT&T, Verizon, and Google put forth Net Neutrality legislati

But the people selling activism are not doing activism. Sorry. The good news is, being an activist and being employed are not mutually exclusive! Activism is a way of life.
