Normal movement and sprinting at full speed are not the same things.

Even your exaggerated example requires 6 months of strenuous training to achieve by your own admission. The average person we’ve been discussing has not recently completed 6 months of military endurance training.

I’m in decent shape and I couldn’t run at full speed with that much weight on me. I do a fair amount of backpacking in the mountains with a 50 lb pack on my back so that isn’t conjecture either, I’ve tried it recently.
Simple physics says you’d also have a harder time starting, stopping, and turning than an unencumbered person. Perhaps you are an exceptional athlete who truly wouldn’t be bothered by the extra weight but I don’t think that would apply to the vast majority of people. Your average person would definitely struggle and I doubt most ICE agents are going to fall into the exceptional category of anything but racism and moral bankruptcy.

I don’t think paying someone who is extorting you is considered a bribe. It’s either one or the other

To be fair, although I’m not sure we need to be, each of them is probably carrying 60 lbs or more of military gear on their body. It’s pretty hard to run at full speed with that much extra weight. That info might come in handy in the future, so long as they don’t just start shooting if you run away.
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 1 week ago:
Are you suggesting that most people would rather scan 400+ pages of a physical book than deal with ebook DRM? Because that sounds like the worst, most tedious option to me. I’m confident most would never consider scanning a viable option.

If they’re not looking for radical change then why did they vote for Trump who campaigned on kicking out all immigrants and totally reshaping the economy?
- Comment on We must not posthumously sanitize Charlie Kirk's hateful life 3 weeks ago:
We’ve waited decades for these rural dipshits to pull their heads out of their asses. If the most obvious wannabe fascist strongman imaginable personally fucking then over repeatedly is not enough to get them to change their ways then there is no point in hoping for that day to come.
We need to push for progressive policy changes right now and if that’s not politically viable in this country in its current state then the collapse of the government is preferable both for our sake and the sake of the rest of the world. Call that naive if you want to but I fully believe that chaos in America is better than a fascist America run by men like Donald Trump running amok around the world.

You could buy a gun and do it yourself. Why does it need to be someone else’s job to do it for you?
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
It’s not unreasonable for you to expect it to know that but I think it is unreasonable to expect it to use that information for your benefit. That’s not why it’s collecting that data.

That response is almost as dumb as googling that question in the first place.

It’s actually sitting in one place putting up with a bunch of bullshit for most of the day. That is an essential skill in the modern workplace.

Those same things were said about hundreds of other technologies that no longer exist in any meaningful sense. Current usage of a technology, which in this specific case I would argue is largely frivolous anyway, is not an accurate indicator of future usage.

Yep, the only thing I’m 100% confident about in this whole mess is that Trump will find some heretofore unimagined way to make it worse.

What’s with the switching back and forth between “you” and “u”? Either one is fine but pick one and go with it.
- Comment on Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet 1 month ago:
Lumen and Verizon both have subsea cable connections to Europe. EXA Infrastructure is in the process of acquiring Aqua Comms, both of which own subsea cables. Google, MS, and Meta have all invested in subsea infrastructure to varying degrees as well. These are not monopolies in the classic sense of the word but they’re not exactly owned by benevolent interests either.
That said, the point is that a malicious government with sufficient pull, for example the current Trump administration, wouldn’t have to bully very many people to severely limit the flow of information between North America and Europe. So much of the internet depends on US infrastructure that this wouldn’t be terribly far off from censoring the entire internet. In that scenario there isn’t much that can be done about it. Europe can control their own information flow to Asia and Africa but at minimum this would be a severe disruption for a significant amount of time. Other entities might take such an opportunity to impose their own restrictions and make the situation even worse.

They do wade into the IP / transport territory a bit but those are not the 6 companies I was referring to. I was thinking of Verizon / AT&T / Lumen / Zayo / etc.

- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 1 month ago:
Your last sentence is spot on but it doesn’t capture the full weight of the impact rich people vibes have on the world. The perceived value of every stock, and by extension the economy as a whole, is almost exclusively a vibe check of rich guys. There is no objective information about a company that is more indicative of that company’s success than how rich people feel about it.

While there are interesting projects in that list, everything that I see is either only useful in a local setting, like wireless mesh networks and their derivative protocols, or assumes that no one is actively restricting what can be transmitted over the privately owned long haul fiber networks that make up the backbone of the internet. How would someone in Seattle transmit more data than can be sent via a ham radio equivalent signal to someone in New York without the use of those fiber networks?

Perhaps you misunderstood my point in your haste to make a complicated problem seem simple but no, my argument has not changed.
- Comment on Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet 2 months ago:
No it isn’t. Either traffic is allowed to flow freely or it isn’t. Once you start down the “isn’t” path there’s not much that can be done to get around the fact that a few people control a huge chunk of the infrastructure.

Please explain how you can bypass carrier enforced traffic shaping policy.
From geti2p.net:
I2P’s protocols are efficient on most platforms, including cell phones, and secure for most threat models. However, there are several areas which require further improvement to meet the needs of those facing powerful state-sponsored adversaries, and to meet the threats of continued cryptographic advances and ever-increasing computing power.
The people involved in the project you’re referring to acknowledge that governments can, by influencing carrier policy, disrupt and subvert the project’s intended function. Why then are you implying they are incorrect?
