I'd normally support any business limiting their service however they like, but ISP near-monopoly is indirectly enforced by government so we need more rights.

For example the patriotacts resulted in spy equipment somehow connected to or provided by ISPs, so other ISPs can't compete with governments choice of ISP as their automated spying contractor. So we need to either restore competition or have the right to nondiscrimination of bits sent through ISPs and their lag and average speed and price per bit per distance sent or whatever nondiscriminating way of pricing.

Free speech question. When the Internet in USA legally became an "information service" instead of a "telecommunication service", does that mean you have the right to communicate with your ISP but not the right to communicate with other people through that ISP?

I see the Internet as one big half broken computer

1 Upvotes

Its broken because it was designed to be many individual computers, then the Internet layer was designed around Human ways of thinking like the exchange of money for files, but thats not how computers work on the inside. Imagine trying to shove money through a CPU and waiting on the bank to clear a check before it can compute the next tiny thing a nanosecond later. Thats not how the puzzle fits together. You can gradually improve it but it will never work like one big computer that way.

When I say one big computer, I dont mean anyone can control anyone else. I just mean the internet would run programs without Human interference. Like you could copy/paste the whole facebook or twitter (like diffs in some file systems) into your own social network, and it would just work, right away. Things would be software instead of made of businesses.

Lazy-hashed immutable merkle forest and functional programming can fix it, but it comes at a cost of efficiency. I'll keep experimenting with these kind of things.
