    I didn't even think of it when I wrote the original reply, but if the locations share power grid wires internally you can always g.hn over that copper to get the connection through…

    I don't doubt for one second that you're right about this being prevalent as well. Tom Selleck sure tries his best to talk more boomers into this line of thinking.

    Mikrotik wireless wire? Sub $200 wireless link. It's a pair, not an ap. Anyway - it does what it says on the tin.

    This. The amount of gaudy 2 story mansions that's standing vacant while delapitated and for sale. Most of them end up as rentals as they don't sell, and deteriorate even more in va…

    No. My point was that 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) are not the same thing. The important point to note in this case is: "501(c)(4) organizations may engage in unlimited lobbying in furt…

    Right, not the same as 501(c)(3), was my point exactly.

    My understanding is that they're registered as a charitable organization , not a non-profit. These terms are often used interchangeably, but from a tax and earnings perspective the…

    I replied to (a comment) and tried to contrast how a state owned power grid can still have profit models attached and function both technically and for it's intended customers.

    You're interpretation of it isn't wrong. You're still wrong in asserting that it wasn't presentes as a fact in the article. It clearly, linguistically is.

    Beervirus is stealing my time by arguing nonsense. See? Clearly presented as fact by the language used and yet clearly it's nonsense. No label necessary.

    Statnett, a state owned entity operated by the energy ministry, runs the Norwegian grid.

    I grew up in Norway. As a grid customer I could shop around for the best power company that fit my situation (e.g. solar? Apartment?). Norway is covered in snow 8-9 months of the y…

    I honestly think the article skims this point in an effort to focus on the bare necessary information to communicate this to relatively non-technical people.

    It's written as a statement, not as a figure of speech. If it's not intended to be factual, it should be annotated as such. It literally claims theft as it stands, which makes the …

    Being a figure of speech has little to do with the statement being factually incorrect.

    "..., stealing users from WhatsApp ..." Genuinely curious about this statement. Is it tantamount to theft if the user migrates by choice?

    I'm thinking McCarthyism as an example makes it good advice either way.

    Inversely, they took a position exploiting pretty much exactly what you describe from a hedge fund, and the only reason it didn't work was that it got shut down by powers from abov…
