Since Pai literally said that he would not be taking public comment into consideration, we kinda know that for a fact.

There's a subtle difference between "doesn't benefit" and "does provable, verifiable harm".

Because Disney already pays for the connection to their ISP - they have paid for their packets to be transmitted to you. Why should they pay more on the bias of their content? If I send a letter, the postal service doesn't charge me more based on what is said in the letter - they just transport it.

Ah, you can still get a refund. Please call their helpful support center. Your wait time is (blank) hours.

I had a teacher that insisted that we "shouldn't worry about memory bloat, because memory is so cheap".

That was when I realized the difference between teachers who only worked in academia, vs those with real world experience.

Yep, totally. Because walking is the only solution to lose weight.

(Heads to the pool)

Totally the only solution.

If you define "average education performance" as "those people who could afford education, and ignoring all the people who never got an education", then sure. It's easy to point at an elite system being opened to all and have it decline.

No. Too many people believe in the argument to the middle fallacy as it is. Just because someone believes the earth is flat doesn't mean we need to give them equal time/screen space.

Did you just compare reading a terrorist manifesto to watching child porn? Or reading about the history of Islam?

What you are missing is an understanding of how broad a term like "terrorist material" can end up being.

So, when these politicians start getting spammed with emails full of "terrorist content", are they going to report to have themselves locked up? What, there's a "legitimate reason" exclusion that will cover them?

And no one was surprised when they wrote themselves out of the law that covers everyone else.

If you are doing your retraining/relearning on your own time/dime, then you might want to reconsider your job compensation. I usually spend about 2 hrs/day making sure I'm up to date on current technologies, or training on new programs coming into our organization.

You aren't alone. I thought the realtors were going to stroke out when I started reading the contract instead of just signing it. They were quick to offer to explain it to me, then seemed a little more nervous when I told them that it wasn't a problem, I used to work for the state bar, I can read legalese just fine.

I found a few things that seemed strange, got some language changed and a full repair to the AC done by them before anything was signed.

More people should read their contracts over before signing. But most people don't have the reading comprehension.

I'm pretty sure "competing" is not something they are interested in - hence the merging of companies.

The Invisible Hand of the market clearly lead to this. People must've been paying too little for the services provided, so the market has self corrected and brought everyone in line. If Charter is charging too much, then people will move to a competing product, right?

What? There is no competition? Impossible. Everyone knows that the market encourages competition and companies to work for the good of the people, not to collude in order to increase their own bottom line.

Barriers to entry? Listen, son, if you want to get ahead in the world, you need to pull yourself up by your boot straps, overcome the paid for barriers that other ISPs have put in place, and create a multi-million dollar infrastructure by hand. Go ahead, all you need is guts and determination!

(rides away on piles of money) AMERICAN DREAM!

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening?
