looks like a great idea but doesn't it significantly slow down your network? I think I would rather install an ad-blocker on a tomato/dd-wrt/open-wrt router...

the Chinese don't want to loose that business I guess

Wouldn't it make more sense to clone her whenever the cure becomes available? since she was so young...

You don't need to wait for the cure if you're just going to clone. But it won't be the same person. A two year old is old enough to know and recognize and do all kinds of things.

Couldn't Netflix setup IPTV as an option to the user to take advantage of the same loophole? or maybe the FCC could classify all streamed videos as IPTV...

That's just kicking the same can down the road and letting Comcast think of some other expensive obstacle for Netflix to favor their own services.

Not sure if the FCC has a set definition for IPTV that would make Netflix not IPTV ... if they don't, it would just require Netflix to say "we are IPTV too".

They'll run out of loopholes eventually...

This Amazon product is not new and many cellphones have basically the same functionality that brings the same privacy issues.

Both fats and sugars are helpful too, if you don't abuse them (probably the same for coffee).

well you get suger in bread, fruits etc. You don't have to eat sweets to get daily intake of sugar(For example brain needs sugar for it to work).

Brown sugar is definitely better as a sweetener compare to the white refined sugar as all the healthy parts are stripped.

Maybe I missed the point, but you seem to be implying that you need to eat things with sugar mentioned on the label on a regular basis to keep your brain functioning normally.

In everyday English, when someone mentions sugar, they are probably talking about sucrose aka 'table sugar'. And you are correct that sucrose consists of a glucose and fructose molecule bonded together.

In a more...official or scientific context, "Sugar is the generalized name for sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food." as Wikipedia puts it. That means that sucrose, glucose and fructose (and many others) are all considered to be sugar.

Brain cells can use ketones instead of glucose. That's what happens on a diet that severely restricts carbohydrates.

Quick energy is one use of sugars.

Unless you are hosting your own server and don't store your mail on a third party in the cloud (but that is probably true for all your data that is hosted by a third party, not just email)

Yup. And exactly why the next president after that law was signed setup their own private email server in their home.

I have no idea why there weren't a million news stories about WHY you should setup your own private email server in your home and how to do it.

In fact a startup might find the perfect sales pitch to have a plug-and-play mail server for your home. $100 shipped to your door, plug it into your router and give it a domain name.

Gmail likely has most of your emails due to the fact that many people use it. See for example this analysis[0], where the author says that over 50% of his emails have transited on a Gmail-owned server.

IoT doesn't have to share any data with third parties... it could be shared with you on the local network or your own server... but many devices make it hard... so you have to be careful.

That's correct, but with what we know now it can be pretty much assumed that any security there is will be actively subverted by agencies, companies or both.
