Your ISP does get that information; it has to route your packets using something other than magic fairy dust.
Wait,,,,
Doesn't ones browser resolve the IP address using DNS, and then send the request directly?
Do ISP DNS servers log such look-ups?
I can't imagine an ISP, unless they are running a caching proxy, having the ability to log every single URL from every browser on their network. Even when they do run a caching proxy its a LRU+Currant content computation, not a logging operation. High volume pages stay current because they are hit frequently.
I think the GP meant that your ISP does not log URLs other than those on their own web servers. The rest pass thru as data.
that won't be true for long, catastrophically low infrastructure spending is allowing all of that WPA era infrastructure to crumble to dust
All of the WPA infrastructure is obsolete, and was actually obsolete before it was finished. Other than hiking trails thru the woods and stone guard rails in national parks, there is very little of our infrastructure need that is met by WPA projects. One does not build a four lane bridge over the Mississippi with "one man rocks".
Repairing even the wilderness trails is too expensive in a society that prefers to pay the skill-less to sit idle and collect the dole rather than actually lift a finger, let a lone a bag of cement.
The idea that you can put people to work in exchange for basic wages has been totally denigrated by the liberal entitlement mind set.
"The map points out something fundamentally new: that ice moves by slipping along the ground it rests on," said Thomas Wagner.
The story seems to suggest this is new information. Yet this is standard knowledge anywhere there aer icefields and the glaciers that flow from them.
A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always valuable. -- Thomas Jefferson
