"Spouting facts means you have an agenda." Can you please explain what you mean here?

Yep. And this is the take-away. We shouldn't ask that the burden-of-proof the State must meet be something like: "Did the State eventually have a good legal argument?" We should require that the State be using its (consider

Great point about forgetting the material. If you really want to learn something you need to review it more than once, and you need to encounter it in more than one environment / context (unless you're a genius, maybe). It's

I've given this tons of thought, and to be honest, haven't hit on a solution that I think would be a fix-it-all solution. Some thoughts though. a) "Private" neighborhood mesh networks should be more heavily utilized. The

And this is why the web should be decentralized. To be clear, not so we can access centralized services (Dropbox, Google Drive, and MS OneDrive), but so an entire country can't have it's access to the Internet so easily censored &

Conventions are meant to evolve. But boy, do you really like making assumptions. Show me a rule I'm breaking, and I'll gladly revise my behavior.

If no one cares about being downvoted, why is it a thing... If it's a useless thing, why, is it, a thing..?

Thanks for telling me how HN works. I've never been here before. Oh wait. I've been here for years. So, my experience has let me to a different point of view than you have. But, you know, thanks for making those assumptions and gi

And I just got an anonymous down-vote. Love it.

Me too! If my comment is up-voted then down-voted then up-voted then down-voted, I know that I've said something that people have different thoughts on, and I know I hit on something. Other times I get down-vote, down-vote, down-vote,

Thanks for the feedback (down-vote). Would appreciate an accompanying comment. Then I could reconsider my position and perhaps alter it.

From elsewhere in the comments, the author is supposedly a volunteer. So I guess I don't see how this is pertinent here. Also, the tone is a little harsh.

Agreed. Much like public utilities. The Internet is already a public utility in my mind, but we still regulate it like cable television. That must change. But, looking to utilities, one sees the democratization and decentralization, due to

As more and more of "our lives" are live online, this is going to be an issue we must confront. On one hand, we need to admit the hard realities that the internet is a physical network that requires real world resources, and every

There are tons, tons , of examples of "established territory" in CS that do not exhibit "mathematical rigor". When something works in CS people seem to say "good enough" and use it. In mathematics (or as you p

This is me, as a "normal" user of HN, not reading this article because every time I make any critiques of HN I'm down-voted or told I just don't get the community. But to those of you who engage, I wish you the best of l

100% agree. When I made the switch from technical business analyst to head down the road of data science, I had the option to use a year of postbac study to study computer science or math. the CS dept at the school wasn't fantastic, it

Yes, that would be even better. Do you just make due with landline?

Agreed, but I don't see anyone with pitchforks out protesting cell phone carriers providing unlimited media streaming... Just, crickets. I don't get it. I have an unlimited plan, actually unlimited, grandfathered in, and refuse to

Perhaps we need to start normalizing encrypted email. Just like https everywhere is no longer considered necessarily "tin-foil hat" SOP, moving this direction for email needs to be socially normalized. Going further, given that an
