    The monetary system violates natural law. Humans will never be happy in herds grazing money. One person will eat it all.

    A. They think you work for them. B. They write the laws. For example is illegal for USA politicians to do business with the children of foreign leaders, but it's not illegal for ch…

    There's something wrong at the human level here. Systems that protect the worst of the bunch. Doctors lawyers politicians managers There's something more primal going on here. Mayb…

    That's exactly why copyright exists. To protect the investment of brain cycles. If we can't protect our intellectual property, what is the incentive to create it?

    I'm hearing this rationalization more frequently: if we don't do it, someone else will. It's a last ditch effort to justify bad behavior. Really? That's all you got? We are broken.…

    14,000 years for it all to melt. See my other comment for the math. You can sleep easy, as will I.

    For perspective, the ice sheet is melting at an average rate of 195 km^3/year. It is a total of 2,850,000 km^3. It will take over 14,000 years for all the ice to melt at that rate.…

    It'll never happen, because no one cares and we can't do anything about it anyway. More defeatism. We should all just roll over and play dead because we are all going to die, no on…

    The ground based stations could be private products too. Just like cars. My general point is that the USA needs a free public Internet. Our politicians have no vision for the futur…

    We are on the same page! :) I see no reason we should let shareholders take excess profit from the American people for doing nothing but negotiating sweetheart deals with the polit…

    That's a frequent glib response to good ideas, which boils down to, nice idea but it'll never happen, because no one cares. It's cynically defeatist.

    Taxes pay for libraries, pbs, gps, lots of tax dollars have gone to SpaceX and tesla and solar city. Billions. We have already paid much of the costs for starlink.

    Same could be said of roads. Toll free. Rush hour sucks. We will adapt. There can still be commercial alternatives, like planes today if you want higher rates of travel.

    Roads have per user costs and are provided at no cost to the end user. Data is the new cargo. Packets are the vehicles.

    Starlink should be a public good. It's like we learned nothing from the wholesale give away of our airways to corporate interests. We've given away space . Compare this opportunity…

    It's sad to see the sexism in the need to preemptively back her up.

    I see this too and is very frustrating in modern Web learning. It might take 8 files and 15 dependencies to make one example work. Only 3 files are partially provided. 5 dependenci…

    That's right. There is a goal to separate the employer and employee to absolve the proletariat of the moral connection between their actions day-to-day and the bourgeois who all sh…

    Facebook exactly is an evil company. No question about it. To its very core. Anyone who works there is paid money to propagate an evil impact on the world and thus, all employees w…

    You're assuming the best of the best decide where to work based on compensation. Also consider the number of pro players is miniscule compared to the number of engineers at fb. It'…

    It absolutely does! There's a lot evidence to support this claim. The smartest, most ethical people leave first. Eventually replacement employees will cost more and more to attract…

    Saying that doesn't help. It's not true, it's an opinion. Is not a fact, but you're presenting it as a fact. You're saying the future will be bad because there's an endless supply …
