Thank you. If there's something that generates economic activity, it will end up helping poor people, too. There are jobs to be had at places like this, including construction, logistics, food services and more. If someone is spending 200K/pop, it's not all going to the parent company, there are expenses related to operations and that's what makes up our economy - people spending money, other people providing services & turning a profit.

My thought on local cable was that you should do a bit like electricity deregulation - have one company that runs the fiber to the house, which requires the massive money investment. They lease out usage to TV, internet or whoever at regulated rates. Have wide open competition for content providers - what you want, you pay for, and nothing else.

This has to be considering that someone has the password file. Even if a remote system responded immediately, there is lag for the transmission. Also the local host isn't doing the computation, the remote host is, in that case. The GPU or local CPU is only doing the computations if you have the password to compare against.
I don't know if I wrote that clearly. In other words, if I try to log on to an NT server, and type the password "abc" then the remote server is doing the hashing, not my local CPU or GPU.
