Doubling every year would be crazy unsustainable at Google scale, but to tell employees you need to do so every 6 months seems like a fever dream of someone that doesn't understand what they are asking (or knows they aren't responsible for actually doing it). The old "just throw it over the fence" approach that corporate kool-aid drinkers love because they can take credit and shift blame.

Never forget Contra, though I have forgotten the Mike Tyson code. 😭

When companies have to start funding their own networks because ISPs are all down, or just known to be compromised due to bad actors, it's going to hit capitalism over the head pretty hard. This is a great way to tank the stock market though if you are betting against "Tech" companies.

  1. Short all Tech stocks
  2. Allow "free market" to regulate itself (because less regulation and capitalism always work so great together)
  3. Make $ hand over fist when market begins to tank because ISPs can't be trusted to route their traffic because of all exploits

 

Carr said the vote scheduled for November 20 comes after “extensive FCC engagement with carriers” who have taken “substantial steps… to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses.

Well if they say their doing it, then surely they are, and not just because the law your trying to change required them to. It's like when Republicans want to deregulate the banks because they are doing so well not exploiting predator loans and/or over leveraging loans trying to make even more $. Deregulation cannot, and will not, work in a capitalist environment. Regulation is the guard rails required to keep capitalism from cannibalizing itself.

Well your only going to be as fast as the slowest server in that chain, with all the latency/any dropped packets/etc. driving down your speeds. Also, if it's built for security it almost certainly isn't prioritizing speed test traffic of all things.

Well doing it themselves would be ambitious for a small dev, which would almost certainly lead to devs using these fly-by-night "verification" companies that you hope are doing the right thing with everyones info.

This sounds like a headache for Google and Apple, and if I was a small dev I would just geo-block Texas rather than jump through their useless hoops.

Better than also making them have to file taxes, although it should be something that they shouldn't even have to bother with since they are below poverty already.

Edit - Ah, I get the catch now, this is to make these people file that may otherwise not. Sneaky!

Before President shit for brains Canada was are strongest ally.

The whole state, or even the whole city, isn't all assholes. I feel any sports ball fan group is going to be one of the worst representations of America.

I have already been researching this very topic myself, and I'm thinking I'm either going GraphenOS or off to Apple's walled garden. I'm hesitant to try something like the ONEPLUS, as they are running a reskinned Android which is the thing I hate about Samsung, and why I'd never buy another.

Google lets you ask a series of suggested questions (kinda like the auto suggested text stuff), or you can just ignore the call. I've never felt the need to engage any further with any numbers I don't already have, and not sure exactly why you'd want to, but the feature has been available for years now.

Edit - I think you can even screen the call by listening to the callers reply to the robot voice, but again never really cared enough to use it.

Don't go worrying about that citizen, just keep using the now US run data collection honeypot. This will be another state run media platform, and will only embolden Miller and company when they desire to take over Facebook and/or Twitter as well.

Edit - Ugh missed a word.
