That a secondary takeaway I got from this was "I have a lower uid then Bruce!"? Lol

People have been peering out of their windows for decades before houses were even connected to the internet.

Did you even read the article? It lets police ask you if they can see the footage. In each case you have to opt-in to sharing it.

It was a message posted on GitHub. No actual data was posted at all.

Uhh, GitHub didn't have the data. It had a description of how it was obtained posted. No personal data was uploaded to GitHub.

They have the ability to override his veto, he's not "doing it".

Just like the new phones, the old One plus phones where based on one single factor. Rebranding Oppo phones under a viral campaign.

OnePlus NEVER made their phones. I'm not sure why this mistake is made over and over and over by One plus fans. OnePlus repackages and slightly customizes Oppo phones. They have NEVER made their own phones. That's why they can get away with the price break. Whatever Oppo makes? That's what the OnePlus is going to look like.

Exactly. In my opinion, they found a singular instance where they where able to cause a cascading failure, which I totally buy. Cascading failures have happened in the past, such as the entire east coast going dark in what, the early 2000's? But this is not very representative of a real world, repeatable scenario.

In the US, companies aren't going to invest in running the 30 miles of fiber between some towns. That's the crux of the issue, really. While our persons per sq kilometer is double what yours is average density wise, there is a great cost in running the actual lines to these locations.

As an example, the US has 5.5 million miles of just local power lines going to these homes. 5.5 million miles of fiber optic cable costs a whole boatload to run.

Gigabit connections in the US are 100+ USD a month, and are only available more urban areas generally. How do they connect to your home?

I'm going to have to blame really, really bad translations on what your saying. We're talking line speed here, not data caps.

So what your saying is, because there's bad traffic in the morning north on Boston on I93, we can no longer call I93 a highway? This is about what is considered the minimum speed we can call it a broadband connection. NOT the speed which is desirable for your specific usage.

    And I have to say, last year I was streaming 4k video over a 30 Megabit fiber connection, so I dunno what your doing that you'd consider 60 megabit laggy during peak times. Watching 3 4k connections while torrenting movies?

I would be overjoyed if the entire country had access to a minimum of 25 megabit data connections. I see nothing wrong with this being the minimum speed. Heck, not long ago I had fiber giving me 30.

    Now, it should be noted I'm on Gigabit personally....

Sorry, but they where able to induce a bad problem when fed into software unpublished software models based on Polands energy grid from 12 years ago. The article infers that power companies cannot tolerate a 1% unpredictability, and that is simply inherently false.
