seriously? the blame is on government, local or otherwise, for criminalizing safe, voluntary interactions. requiring licenses of children operating a lemonade stand is indoctrinati…

discrimination vs. discrepancy. I find it odd that many people jump to the first while simultaneously holding the belief that corporations only care about profit.

netflix came to be a multibillion dollar business without these laws. more likely, we'll get more consumer friendly options over diverse, specialized 'types' of ISPs, thanks to cac…

If the "new world" involves anti free speech laws which get you a visit from the police for nonviolent facebook posts, bans on porn, the regressive gdpr law, useless cookie laws, t…

probably, at the very least for avoiding DOS attacks on important common assets. GDPR is one of the most shortsighted laws I've ever read

your own bucket wouldn't benefit from browser url-based caching of common assets (libraries, fonts, etc)

generally, its not smart to experiment with an entire continent at a time
