Failed at what? The feedback loop between investment and return is extremely long in companies, and it is almost always impossible to tell if you're overshooting (until its too late.) And slowing down does not work at startups, especia

Yes, sorry, I misinterpreted your previous comment to mean that there was no benefit to either party.

At some point the costs outweigh the benefits and the bandaid just needs to be ripped off. Flash has been a security nightmare for very long time.

Nice speech, but creating a new side channel on the PSTN is really hard to do. It requires standardization and the coordination of telcos, operators, device manufacturers, world-wide, many of which only have partially digital networks. (Thi

They have to comply with the new laws -- it's not betrayal when they don't have a choice in the matter. Not complying means they would face severe enough penalties to sink the business (notwithstanding the risk of jail-time.)

This is not correct, there are many ways to do this without resorting to NAT hacks like uPnP. For example, ISPs hand out entire /64 per customer (at a minimum, almost all will give you larger subnets if you ask). This allows you to hav
