"We" is "we who get others onboard"? No point in being a pessimist.

If they start losing money they will have a much stronger motivation to act. I feel like they say they are for it but they are not spending considerable resources (they should be) to stand up to the FCC.

If we stage a nation-wide boycot of Amazon, Walmart.com, and a few other big retailers (and stop using Google, Bing et al) I can almost guarantee it that they will move mountains to bring back net neutrality. You have to get the big corporations a profit motive to get anything done in this country.

The regulatory process is not scalable relative to the rate of technology driven disruption.

It cannot scale.

It can either fall behind or adapt to change, IMO.

I think the rate of technological change will force the SEC regulatory system to adopt an RFC process open to the public (bypassing Congress), similar to IETF, and I think Direct Democracy is an inevitable outcome of such disruption.

Is this just legalized gambling?

How does the performance of WASM compare to JIT'd JS code?

Any links to instructions for Reason WASM targeting?

Here to all the folks who are A) not legal scholars but pretending to be from their mom's basement and B) unable to reason about the implications but still assert their opinions, there are a ton of references to this issue. Here is one:

Get informed. Don't talk out of your ass\:

ISPs can block all P2P traffic (bits flowing between residential IPs) and removal of Net Neutrality regulations will embolden them to do so, but it's also about the trend toward ISPs being giving the green light to do whatever they want, with eventually no regulation whatsoever.

Last mile includes my last mile and your last mile and cannot see why blocking P2P traffic would not be part of the definition of last mile. Each user would be limited to a set of approved centralized services. No user to user routing. Only user to approved service and approved service to user.

Going with your "source/destination" definition, one Bitcoin/Signal user is source and the other is destination. They can require traffic to be exclusively between user and approved service provider, can't they?

I meant legally they can't. They'd be sued and defeated in court. But not if Net Neutrality rules are undone.

Also like I said removal of net neutrality regulations means ISPs esp big ones can kill Bitcoin by blocking the default port used by the Bitcoin client and ISPs can more than just blocking a certain port. ISPs can identify and block all P2P traffic (anything that is not being sent or received to/from an approved central service) and do it in the name of protecting MPAA member revenue or whatever blanket execuse like killing off encrypted p2p communication like Signal et al)

Amazed that no one can see that Net Neutrality going away could very well mean the death of Bitcoin. Block the port and/or type of traffic -/ or even easier: eliminate P2P: everything must go thru a centralized service.

It should align, and I'm surprised it doesn't seem to be aligned, or they see it as an opportunity to be an ISP themselves.

I don't buy that it isn't be there problem. The UX will be broke. What good is a search engine if I can't get anywhere.

Just because you're sure of your opinion, it doesn't mean it's correct Yet you assert ... :)

Their biggest and most lucrative service is search. What if I click a link in google's search result and my ISP refuses to take me there? Or does it work differently?

Why isn't Google fighting this? They have a backup plan?

Start communities that use solar/wind energy, grow their own food (maybe using this in urban areas: https://www.media.mit.edu/groups/open-agriculture-openag/ove...), use WiFi mesh networking, maybe launch their own satellites (for inter-community links: https://newatlas.com/tubesat-personal-satellite/22211/), build their own things with multi-material 3D printers (maybe even print semiconductor components, who knows...) and employ barter rather than artificially scarce magical paper or e-coins. Also, employ "DIY Bio" in ethical life enhancing way, open production (open source everything etc) The technology and paradigms exist today or will fully exist soon.

First time I hear he had a sister who is also a scientist. I've not read any of his books or seen any of his lectures but I've heard plenty about his work and insights, just nothing about his sister, who is also a brilliant mind... I wonder why (rhetorically)
