Disagree. Or at least it’s a different set of people generally very supportive of dark skies. There are many dark sky communities in the southwest that are otherwise standard car centric unwalkable american towns.

AOC is not in charge of government spending. Congress members have not meaningfully capped government spending for decades now. So it’s not “categorically wrong” and it’s petty good evidence that those degrees are useless for actually contr

You missed the point. It’s a 3 party relationship where both Netflix and the cable company didn’t want to pay to increase capacity to the intermediary transit provider.

If a company exec is stupid enough to not hire when there has been no demonstrated replacement for the engineers, they are likely going to drive the company into the ground in short order. I don’t believe that companies would be stupid enou

Tit for tat taxation or restrictions on businesses are not related at all to democracy.

There is no toll involved here, this is a limited 100gbps interconnect. If an ISP over-provisions these too far, they are wasting money and will not be competitive. >There is no excuse for inadequately provisioning the backend. You don’t

The problem with this argument is that you end up in a scenario where an ISP makes an inadequately provisioned peering path (either through an IXP fabric or transit) to Netflix that just runs at saturation. Customers still get plenty of ban

This is a facile dunk. Economics literature is filled with examples of debt destroying countries’ economies either through hyper inflation or default. Since the US controls its currency, it is very likely to take the inflation route, but if

They aren’t necessarily wrong but most are nearly completely useless due to some heavily downplayed or completely omitted flaw that surfaces when you try to implement the idea in actual systems. There is technically academic novelty so it’s

No, it’s because it would mean restaurants would cost $400 to eat at for a basic sit down meal which would drive them all out of business. There are tons of things people will just immediately stop doing if the prices go up to support labor

Nope, the introduction is unfounded flame bait. So I assume someone using that is not engaging with any intent to have a meaningful discourse. It has nothing to do with feeling uncomfortable, it’s a statement about held beliefs being associ

It’s irrelevant to your point, so yes. You’re either making a statement about conservatives or you’re talking about actual ideas. You can’t have a meaningful conversation about ideas if you’re doing tribalism.

That’s not how fiduciary responsibility works. It’s very easy to say, “we’re not going to do X because we don’t think it’s a good long term investment due to brand destruction”. This happens all of the time. It’s a complete myth that they a

You’re on an unrelated tangent about self employed people and the thread is about people tied to their employer through health insurance. This thread is not about self employed people.

That’s a perfectly fine response when the entire counter argument is “raising minimum wage is fine because everyone magically does better business to support it”. That’s ridiculous on its face because there isn’t any higher level of product

This is a Gish Gallop of completely unrelated things. Tech companies can become very powerful without holding a monopoly. All it takes is being big enough to have political sway either through being a big employer or just by straight up lob
