RE: Bill to Reverse Net Neutrality Repeal Gets 30th Sponsor...But Will Still Fail
I am going with frustration. They are making a false analogy with their lousy food.
Paying to speed up the time it takes to stuff a burger into your face is actually more analogous to the actual market without NN. It comes off as them saying you should not be able to pay for more bandwidth. And that is just silly.
Also they left out the one thing that 99% of the customers would do. That is walk out the door and find some other nasty fast food to gobble on.
And that core fundamental right of our society to choose is what is being ignored. If the ISP tried to 'bundle' or otherwise not provide the service expected then all the customer has to do is cancel.
At any rate the NN regulations were useless because they did not provide any penalty for 'bundling'.
I guess everything that scales with use is similar to the blockchain in that regard. We can be thankful the development of storage medium has kept up with the need. So I think I can see your angle. The internet is like a growing plant that adapts to facilitate it's own growth. I never thought of it as natural before.
Itself, not natural, of course. But, it's patterns and interactions are a result of a natural system, us. So, like we have been able to notice similarities between small, natural system's growth and humans' population of the planet thru these large patterns we seem to follow. I would predict technology would still be subjected to these "natural" tendencies. My reference to the blockchain was in regards to how each block gets progressively more expensive to complete, correct? Just the way I understand up to this point. The encryption equations are getting ever more difficult requiring more computing power, therefore more energy per token. Hence the decrease in small time mining, because any single consumer device can't really make a dent in the problem. Again, speculating here based off my experiences thus far, and greatly appreciate someone with more, sharing theirs. Thank you.
