Re: Re: Hey, comment. Been sitting there alone FOUR hours now...
Well, please enlighten us then. If they already adhere to NN principles (and they are pretty clear) then why would enshrining NN into law somewhat "hurt" innovation?
If you don't mind I'll leave this straw man here because I don't want to wait that much for your answer.

We put a man on the moon surrounded by several layers of equipment to allow them to keep breathing securely. Life encryption since we are at it with bad analogies.
Maybe it's that tipping point where the companies are offering so damn awful services that you can't say you have the bare minimum working situation. Maybe the telcos have forced their hands a bit more than people are willing to accept this time?
Why wouldn't it? Why should somebody pay or get a license to use a portion of a copyrighted work into a completely different creation that does not substitute the original? Why should anybody have to worry about copyrights when doing their creative stuff if they don't want to?
I have to say, your reply applies to quite a few reactions to analogies that completely miss the point. I'm out of credits or you'd get the first word here.
Re: ONE DAY after "Stone" defended Techdirt from charge that want
Yep, because the criminal is a despicable person (a pedo in this case) let's just throw all due process and constitutional rights out of the window. Don't be surprised when they do it with you ok?
If a serious criminal went free because law enforcement couldn't bother to follow the law then the fault lais not with reporters pointing out the error but rather with law enforcement who didn't do it right. We should be demanding explanation from law enforcement when said criminal acts again because it's THEIR fault he/she is not in jail.
Stop blaming your own goddamn rights for law enforcement mistakes.
It's easy to dehumanize somebody we haven't met in person. Taking Nazi employees as an example (sorry, Godwin'd) there were attempts from people to look into these people and what kind of humans they were (http://www.bbc.co.uk/guides/zsshhyc some stuff about it here) and they were your ordinary, dull public employee striving for a better life. She was threatened because she managed to see another human with his/her faults in the opposing end.
Zuckeberg certainly has his faults. We all do. But I doubt he is the monster some people paint. And I'm fairly sure Gutenberg suffered the same.
In the end it's humans being humans. Whether it's Mark making his mistakes or people demonizing new, disrupting tech.
Re: Re: Re: Putting your data in a nice shiny package
Yeah but you can't possibly do anything code-wise against human fails. I'm not entirely sure how this will happen but clearly the current status quo is much less than ideal.
Actually this reminds me of how Troy Hunt implemented the password verification on HIBP. He built a code that hashes the password you entered locally and then only a portion of the hash is transferred. It's called K-anonymity or something.
Indeed. I'd like to see encryption added to the contents so the host can't see what's there until the owner of the data provides the key. Ie: the data is useless until the user goes to the new service and effectively uses his/her keys. For online storage it would be awesome: your data is out of bounds to the host and you only process it locally. I'm not sure how this could be implemented for shared folders. Maybe Mega has the solution already? But in any case I think encryption should play a major role to avoid such scenario.
That. If you could easily move your data to other services it would be wonderful.
I also don't think it undermines their dominance. It all comes to whether they keep innovating and catering to the needs of their users it could be a way to increase their user base taking from others. As Mike said, this is a big step forward. Interoperability is the future.
This is actually another symptom of everybody treating security as an afterthought. And to treat the disease we'd need to start imposing heavy fines for breaches, something our lawmakers (and I'm including pretty much every country in the world) are either oblivious to the urgency or they are outright corrupt and stuffed with corporate money not to give a damn.
