Guess what? Old school and believers in the original ideals of the internet will consider that damage and route around it. Or find alternate ways of streaming it.

Apparently you have no understanding of how things work.

A very large percentage of people (in the U.S.) only have one choice for a broadband Internet connection and its one of the companies who have spent a lot of time and money lobbying against net neutrality.

I'm not surprised that this administration has fallen for the shiny veneer of cloud services. However, the idea that this will improve security is laughable.

Remember, Hams are folks who have spent their own money to get radio gear, and then use that radio gear to provide emergency communications in the event of a disaster.

And they are wonderful people for doing this. But, keep in mind that the other 99.9% when there is no emergency going on, they are using it to chat with people on the other side of the globe.

So I--and all my neighbors--have to give up on 1Gb/sec Internet so that you can chat with Ivan in Ukraine?

Comment Re:Ham radio. (Score 2) 119

Of course when everything goes down, there's no power in the power lines so no interference then can do HF.

Maybe you don't realize that the reason people use HF to communicate out of a region that has lost long distance comms is because the RECEIVING END still has service and can send help? As in, all the RF interference from the RECEIVING END'S BPL will keep the receiving end of the emergency communications from being able to hear it.

We have an HF radio in an EOC to serve the county Emergency Manager, but it has so much interference that it is absolutely useless. When the backup generators kick in to provide power for the HF radio, they'll also be powering the crap that is causing the interference. What a great system. Glad we have it.

Trump Administration Calls For Government IT To Adopt Cloud Services (reuters.com) 208

According to Reuters, The White House said Wednesday the U.S. government needs a major overhaul of information technology systems and should take steps to better protect data and accelerate efforts to use cloud-based technology. The report outlined a timeline over the next year for IT reforms and a detailed implementation plan. One unnamed cloud-based email provider has agreed to assist in keeping track of government spending on cloud-based email migration. From the report: The report said the federal government must eliminate barriers to using commercial cloud-based technology. "Federal agencies must consolidate their IT investments and place more trust in services and infrastructure operated by others," the report found. Government agencies often pay dramatically different prices for the same IT item, the report said, sometimes three or four times as much. A 2016 U.S. Government Accountability Office report estimated the U.S. government spends more than $80 billion on IT annually but said spending has fallen by $7.3 billion since 2010. In 2015, there were at least 7,000 separate IT investments by the U.S. government. The $80 billion figure does not include Defense Department classified IT systems and 58 independent executive branch agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency. The GAO report found some agencies are using systems that have components that are at least 50 years old.

Comment Suggestion: Reopen Mental Hospitals (Score 5, Insightful) 422

It's very strange that the SPCA of all organizations is acting like that rich tech bro a few years back who published a diatribe about how the homeless people on his building's street weren't being sufficiently controlled by the city.

My idea for fixing the problem is to re-open state mental hospitals. Almost all of the homeless problem is due to mental illness and drug addiction. Where I live, there are 5 massive, closed mental hospital complexes within 50 miles that housed thousands of patients each before the deinstitutionalization wave of the 70s and 80s. Why not reopen them as voluntary treatment centers again? Instead of beating and lobotomizing patients, give them the help they need to fix whatever problem is interfering with them having a normal existence.

Comment Re:The case for BREXIT (Score 1) 254

1. We could have had immigration controls on EU citizens. Other countries did, limiting numbers for the first few years, and it worked. The Labour government chose not to.

Similarly, EU migrants can't claim benefits right away and can be asked to leave if they are unemployed for a few months. We choose not to enforce the latter at all.

Now that EU citizens are leaving, we don't have enough doctors and nurses. Will Brexiteers volunteer to wait for British staff so that the rest of us don't have to wait longer?

2. You propose paying companies like Nissan to offset the tariff costs. Aside from being state aid that even under WTO rules is problematic, it means that every company that exports can forever demand compensation.

Also, did you hear Honda's statement to the Brexit committee? 30 minutes of stock, hundreds of trucks from the EU with parts every day. Border controls will be a huge problem and the government hasn't even started to build new truck parks or recruit the tens of thousands of staff they need.

3. These regulations have been good for us. Do you really want to work longer in worse conditions too? In any case, if we drop them, trade becomes harder. It's called a non-tariff barrier.

4. As demonstrated by our own parliament in the last year, the EU is much more democratic and is actively reforming and improving, unlike us.

6. As we will find when we leave, our "net contribution" actually gets us a lot more back in terms of trade and joint cost savings. For example, we will have to run our own medicine approval agency, at our expense.
