You get a service that your livelihood depends on. It seems to me like the proper response is more like gratitude.

"using its highly sensitive reaction wheels"

amundsentb | 5 years ago | on: 100Mbps uploads and downloads should be US broadband standard, senators say

I heard someone even less qualified to comment (can you believe it?) said that 1Tbps uploads and downloads should be US broadband standard. shrug

If anything, I would say unenumerable.

Happy to get feedback!

You wouldn't compete on the things that Google does well, but rather on the things they don't. Not saying it is easy. Price and user interaction is something I believe could be improved upon. Also maybe crowd sourcing info.

Can we not be allowed to have heroes without someone mentioning that they go to the toilet the same as us?

You don't respond to his claims,

well intentioned, ripe for abuse, unconstitutional, requires due process to remove.

Does this mean that you agree with them and are still willing to forego due process because of the purported benefits you list?

The article itself however is much more compassionate towards Nowak and shows the extreme pressures she was under.

amundsentb | 6 years ago | on: Bedridden for 11 years, he discovered a surgery for his adrenal condition

I am often more interested in the comments here than the content of the article so I am happy with the summary.

I can often understand what the article is about and go to the comment section for pros and cons

amundsentb | 6 years ago | on: Charity is no substitute for humanity

This article decries people the necessity of people banding together in tough times and want's more "humanity" meaning that expenses are automatically taken care of in bad times. The author knows nothing about humanity and what it entails. Humanity is not a robotic system where ants are ordered.

Societies are built by people interacting and building trust and taking care of each other in bad times for their own self interest. Not by forcing people to act against their own judgment.

If something is illegal, it does not follow that it is also immoral. You may actually deal with a very moral person.

Maybe it will force the police to focus on violent crimes.

The best counter to terrorism is a homogeneous population.
