Not quite sure, are you making the case for no legislation at all?

To summarize, you're saying that none of these look like legit solutions broadly, but a hodgepodge of different solutions in different locations can create interesting options for competition against the natural monopolies, but these n

So are you saying you think no legislation can help here, or do you think there is something that can enforce e2e but it just wouldn't get through in practice without dinging certain use cases?

Pretty sure the answer is yes and it has a lot more to do with what Apple and Google were able to do. They didn't gain share in any PC OS or PC apps markets where microsoft was dominant, they just made those markets less relevant.

Jim, this is a really fantastic breakdown. thanks. The part I still don't understand is - how can I threatening W other than by violating their terms with C? Doesn't C, the party who pays I, ultimately pay for a service spec? Is t

Could you clarify the following and maybe provide a link? "right now there's no free market in the broadband space. ISP's have managed to basically outlaw competition from their areas, so before we even begin to accept the id

Agree that we need to look at concrete deal terms in question and talk about what's actually anticompetitive vs. what is just sound decisions by self-interested economic actors. It seems to me that if torrent users are paying for conne

working on that, its a small thing for us to implement.

Awesome to hear feedback like this! We have so far to go with the product though. We can't wait to ship the next big redesign. What do you think we can do to make the experience better?

Don't worry about how anything compares to frameworks, because they don't matter anymore. We think traditional frontend frameworks - whether of the rails/django variety or the backbone variety, are generally rubbish in a nearly infinite num

It is not clear that whitespace sensitivity has ever been a good idea in any language. In jade, it is often just encourages the antipattern of hardcoded hierarchy and throwaway templates rather than reusable abstraction. We like actual ab

yes you have to explicitly check this setting. but to be fair, it's on us to make the UX flows extraordinarily clear for such a hot-button social feature. we obviously need to redesign this and it sticks that we've caused a few users to sp

it's not a bug, its a setting. it's just evidently poorly designed. :\ we're fixing it.

We don't tweet when you don't tell us to. This is a case where there was a UX fail in the profile publication settings so some people get confused and publish all their actions. it's infrequent and we're going to chance the ux.

We're working on a grid for publishing actions from one service (Prismatic) to the other services that you connect. It's tricky and probably not a great behavior to broadcast these actions to twitter where there are no aggregations, like t
