  Re: "choose your own adventure"

  on The 'Choose Your Own Adventure' People Are Suing Netflix Over 'Bandersnatch'
  I agree. As a teenager I used to read the Dungeons & Dragons themed CYOA books published by TSR that were called Endless Quest.

  Hasn't AG Heard of a NDA?

  on Federal Court Says Iowa's Ag Gag Law Is Unconstitutional
  Couldn't the ag industry implement non-disclosure agreements as part of their hiring process? It seems to work pretty good for tech. At the very least they would be able to sue if an ex-employee exposed their internal processes.

  Comcast Doesn't Like the Free Market

  on Senators Blast The FCC For Weakening The Definition Of Broadband To Try And Hide The Industry's Lack Of Real Competition
  "Unfortunately, like net neutrality, the quest for the basest of standards will somehow be framed as a "partisan" debate, causing many to lose the plot. And pandering to the Comcast status quo will be framed as some sort of heroic pledge to phony free market ideals none of the regulators or companies backing this effort actually believe in."
  
  It always pisses me off when people use Comcast as an example of why we the free market doesn't work and how we need more government regulation to protect consumers from the greedy capitalists. Comcast is actually an example of a corporate oligarchy colluding with bought and paid for politicians to protect themselves from free market competition.
