No, a municipality can require nothing beyond a business license to sell services in their jurisdiction.

Battle Royales work in the video game world because I can just queue up immediately after elimination. Can't do that when I'm with my friends for the evening.

Just wait until there is a BFR supplied gas station in orbit for such an occasion.

The point of the post is that there is no way to opt out. We all understand more datapoints the better. But I also need to not be fucked with when I'm trying to work.

Definitely. We have a lot of different alliances around Montana. http://www.montanalandtrusts.org/memberdirectory/

My daughter is 6 and has a couple of band tshirts she saw at Target. The rule was she had to listen to a couple of the songs before we bought them. Landed on Nirvana and Pink Floyd. Loves those bands now.

Because a midrange sedan in the US is comparable to a cheap Chinese car.

I've been pretty happy with Passbolt so far. We've got it running on a local server. Groups of passwords are really nice.

That was my point with Tesla; it's absurd at $50B and they build real things and develop real technologies.

I have a hard time with the idea that SpaceX sits somewhere around $12B and Tesla around $50B (with most people arguing even that is absurd). So to value Priceline at $100B is insanity.

I really hate the naming trend over the past 10-15 years of using common words for projects. I can't really search for Espresso, or Jupiter, or Andromeda without additional qualifiers that I may not know yet.

We did briefly, but it wasn't that great. And then we were an unwilling customer for 3 months because they kept charging our bank account and refusing to close the account.

I think it's a chicken and egg thing. What products and services could be feasible if the bandwidth was generally available to support such things?

It's almost as if it weren't designed to land on the moon.

Found elsewhere on the internet: 'On a system with eight Tesla K80s, which might cost somewhere between $60,000 to $70,000, the license for the MapD stack would be “a small multiple” of this hardware cost.' I guess I'm not pl

Surprisingly yes. I think it falls into two categories: nostalgia and hipster.

Legally, I don't think so. But we did build a little Raspberry Pi based machine with a telegraph key. It needs some more work, but there are people who are legitimately wanting to buy the service.

Nope. We argued that we were providing data services under the FCC definition of utility. The only real person who got in our way was the city attorney. He said that internet didn't qualify as Montana Code (circa 1950) only mentioned

I think the hardest thing about a municipal network like that is having a government organization competent in managing it. Streets are still mostly functional with potholes, but a network certainly isn't. We're operating on a bra

I feel you. I started a small ISP in Montana a few years ago. We're getting into laying our own duct and fiber. Once I get the machine running, I want to focus on providing tools and information to others looking to do the same thing.
