Many places have decent telecoms competition with a similar number of carriers. As far as I understand the problem in the US is that many locations have just one wired service provider. Meaningful competitions would require that most buildi

Nobody has made serious money by selling browser because nobody is willing to pay for browsers. Without Chrome the web would just stagnate. Nobody is willing to pay for mobile operating systems either. Maybe hardware manufacturers would pay

I don't understand how a google breakup would work. Would it just split off the ad business from ad-supported businesses like gmail and youtube? Some google products could stand on their own (Google Cloud) but most would have a lot of

All current satellites are in 550 km orbits. They had plans to also launch in 1150 km orbits but they made some FCC filings requesting to reduce the altitude.

No, just the last one (the one which outputs your traffic). Assuming it's a commercial VPN it has your billing data and doesn't matter that you connected to it via another VPN.

This seems very risky. * Exit nodes might be run by malicious actors and unless you enforce always https they might snoop credentials. * If you login to platforms like google/facebook/twitter/stock overflow it might still be

SpaceX already offered a solution: separate thrusters a few dozen meters off the ground. Current plan is for Raptors to be off for landing. It's disappointing that Zubrin didn't mention that.

I believe the correct model for large social media platforms (for example above 10m users) is that of a telecom provider. Comcast can't block CNBC or Fox and at the same time nobody assumes that Comcast is responsible for view expresse

At runtime this is all just a couple of pointer indirections so the impact is minimal. There are also special functions for bulk transfer so regmap shouldn't be called in tight loops.

Why does this crap deserve a wikipedia article? It's just a bunch of moaning that sometimes founders have too much power inside organizations that they founded (imagine that).

People claim that internet platforms present a novel problem but telcos are a very good model for regulation. Governments should ban large platforms (>10M users) from editorial discretion.
