What a strange accusation. One of the liberal places I read is here, where the discourse usually isn’t that far from Reddit Politics just with more self-righteousness (sometimes, most of the time it’s okay). Why would you doubt that I read legitimate conservative sites? I read enough to know how brigaded Reddit Conservative is, that’s not real. I spent a lot of time with an actually balanced source of news.

You're outting yourself as an unreliable narrator - HN isn't liberal, it's typical moderate neo-lib. Youre assuming HN must be liberal because it's somewhat critical of Trump. You're reverse-engineering your position. HN isn't critical of Trump because they're libs, they're critical of Trump because he's bad and the policy is bad. I mean, raising the deficit by trillions in exchange for A REDUCTION in public services…

That's a pretty reductionist take. Here's what I think is a more reasonable one. If I told you your job was to keep the house clean, but made you come back to me for permission to pick up socks, but told you that absolutely didn't give you permission to pick up shoes , waited 8 months to reply to your request for permission to vacuum, denied you authority to decide what pieces of paper are trash and which are importa…

Yes. But it's important that you accept the yacht afterwards . If you get the yacht in advance , it's a bribe, you see.

My building recently got wired up with a local ISP taht is offering gigabit fiber for... $25/month. AT&T Fiber or Verizon Fios will tend to start at $60-90/month as an "introductory" price where your bill just keeps going up $10-20/months every yera unless you go through the dance of calling up and threatening to cancel every year. So you could be paying $140/month when a new customer is being charged half that. Chat…

I live in the SF Bay Area where Sonic offers 10Gbit connections for $60/month. They’re a medium sized local provider with excellent support and great prices, and they’re making money doing it . If “economy of scale” were uncapped, Comcast should be a fraction of that price.

There is a LOT of data on Trump/Russia out now. I find it hard to believe anyone informed is still using that. It’s kind of an intellectual red flag my man. The smarter liberals have moved on to just hating Trump for being himself. Do the true believers here think that the I formation Gabbard is releasing is fake? We’ve had it for 9 years now about Ohrs and FusionGPS and FBI lying to FISA.

Data caps? Does it really offer that speed at peak times though? Are oversubscription of backhaul infrastructure disclosed? In semi-rural hill country TX, 2.5 Gbps symmetric from an internet co-op is $90 USD/month without data caps.

It keeps that speed at peak times without any issues, low pings, fast download speeds. With such internet connection the server is bottleneck, so if I download Linux distro I often choose torrent download option. There is no official data caps too.
