Thanks for writing this. I made the exact same point in another subthread, that 10ms is enough to mess with your brain. My only experience of it is when the audio and the visual out of sync by only about 10ms while watching something (I f

Well, I don't know about how fast electrons travel in copper, but I imagine it's well below c . In optical fiber, the speed of light is about 2/3 c . So, you should probably at least multiply your numbers by 2/3.

I think you're underestimating the amount of latency that the human ear can detect. If the audio is as little as 10 ms out of sync, either way, someone will notice that.

Not always. Frequently, the connection between code that’s written today and revenue tomorrow is tenuous and difficult to package in a way that says “look at me! I’m valuable!” And, then there are those somewhat rare occasions where a proje

I know I should hate them because they spread malaria and kill people, but, as someone who grew up near a swamp, fuck mosquitos. I never got any sort of disease from them, but their bites can be annoyingly itchy.

The only dangerous snakes in California are sea snakes, which live in the waters off Southern California, and are rarely seen; and rattlesnakes, which tend to give you a warning before they do anything. Both kinds of snakes would rather le

If they have both, in some places, you're likely to be asked "What kind of coke?" to which "Pepsi," is an acceptable answer.

Doesn't matter. If one person says X, and 3 people say not X, then it's pretty safe to say that reasonable people disagree on X. If I'm among the 3, then it's not just "according to me," either.

Don't ask me. People make ineffective threats all the time. Tell me: what can one congressional Representative do by him or her self?

The question was "are we really so stupid that..." The answer, at least according to the Framers, as implied by their actions, is "yes."

Regulation is policy created by regulatory authorities. Sorry, but I don't buy the idea that one congresscritter's comments, in isolation, constitute a credible threat or inducement. And, if there really are "many others,&qu

Is that it? From the perspective of 1950, giving black people civil rights is "radical leftism."

Where are they making that claim? Every single case citation points toward the "section 230 creates an inducement to moderate." I saw some vague claims of sabre rattling about "regulation," but nothing about modifying

No, the entire rest of the argument rests on the claim that section 230 creates an inducement to moderate by removing liability. It does not. If anything, it creates an inducement to do the opposite, by removing liability for third party

That's not Youtube's fault. They're not stopping anyone from starting and promoting a competing service. Again, DoJ has done fuck all to break them up, so, why are they considered a monopoly? And why should a private busine

Compared to someone's record of convictions, that information is pretty inaccessible. You'd have to go all the way back to court records at the time of their conviction.
