2020 should be the most awesome year of humanity ever.
And he was piling up many good things for 2020.
But then he felt like there can be more good things for 2020.
So some angel suggested he will create some bad thing in few years before it and then solve those bad things in 2020 that way the awesomeness of 2020 will increase.
Seems like america is going to loose its freedom until next president
ALREADY LOST - to pick a internet plan of their choice which is affordable and reliable to them.
ALREADY LOST - to have privacy.
LOOSING - what people will watch in their internet, so basically you will be target fed specific info and some info you will never come across leading to people will be kept in dark like the sugar news forever.
if we were celebrating July 4th for the freedom over internet then we can stop celebrating it from 2018 but luckily its not that. May be american citizens will stop being submissive and not take whatever is thrown at them and start to make their power and presence felt and be an example to other country citizens.
I don't think it matters much who occupies the oval office. I fear the U.S. is in a systematic regression due to deeper economic issues that so far are being totally unaddressed and unidentified in public.
I hope other nations can begin exerting pressure on this country so that we are forced to begin considering substantial reforms (apparently a long-lived fiscal crisis isn't enough); otherwise these issues may worsen and spread elsewhere as they have already begun doing.
(Divest away from U.S. securities, for example. Challenge the status of U.S. dollar.)
I'm sure other people in Colorado would gratefully accept the appropriate amount in "campaign funds" to run against those who would dare to compete against Comcast.
I think you mean politicians and corporations. they are not really identified as people.
This is how the whole world has already got ruined. I wish people grow some spine and invest enough energy and time and take a stand to get what interests them and not become submissive into paying their hard earned money to make millionaires billionaire.
So I take it you don't agree with Mitt Romney's "Corporations are people, my friend".
However, the fact is that without a rather sweeping change in how we recognize and reward incorporation in the US, they are currently "more equal" people.
how to encourage other cities to get such alternate broadband options? can colorado guide the rest of the cities and states to go through similar initiatives?
In addition to the other suggestions, it might be worth contacting your representative to voice your support of legislation to repeal the existing statewide ban. For instance, this bill was recently introduced in the state senate:
If your town / city is less than 10k people simply going to city council open forum meetings (most places host those monthly or quarterly, some even weekly) and constantly hounding representatives about it being a problem with a straightforward solution (taxpayer funded public telecom operation in the city).
Probably the #1 problem is the ignorance of how bad the telecom monopoly is in the US, that there even are alternatives, and that this is the problem domain government needs to approach in the same way they approach electric access or roads.

amusingly, boulder county, which passed this same thing, tried for years to get out of maintaining my neighborhood's roads. (and our electric service is privately provided.)
It sounds like they're working on it. I like that there are a number of test cases, which will hopefully lead to a little variety in results, and maybe some good ideas regarding which techniques are more effective than others. Like any municipal service, there will be the potential for it to run smoothly and efficiently, and there will be the potential for it to turn into a massive clusterfuck and money pit. Where a particular city's implementation falls on that spectrum will be determined by their own choices.
I'm in Colorado Springs (2nd largest city in Colorado) and we passed this last year although it didn't get any coverage. Colorado is definitely moving in the right direction.
Well there is very little information here, but i will just throw my suggestion in the bucket.
You already have 2 years of experience it should be perfect for you to start applying to other companies.
There are tons of jobs out there, you can be sure that if you are proficient you will clear 6 out of 10 interviews.
Also if you are bored n have lot of time and energy left after work you can learn a few new technologies like Cloud, AI etc,. in this time and accumulate tons of skills and then make a big switch with big package and company of your dreams and stuff. In this case you may decide to spend 3 to 6 months more in same company irrespective of how it goes.
But while you switch you also have to pay attention to make sure same issues doesn't crop up in the new place.
You can ask enough question during interview to filter the right job.
You can make a list of priority items and if the current job doesn't match more than 50% of them simply switch.
Don't be too confused, Try to get a better opportunity and if you can just go for it. You cannot switch companies every few months but making a first switch at 2 years is definitely not bad.
If we think in that angle even a telescope is a superior eye as it can see longer than a human. We never consider it as a superior eye which some use at times.
A nature created being which exists would be more relevant to this question than a man made stuff.
All naturally evolved species, including humans, are extremely complex machines. There isn't anything supernatural involved. That means that a general AI, with the capacity to learn and interact with the world, would easily be a thinking being. It might not be smarter than a border collie, but it is still a thinking being.
The difference between a simple machine, even a computer controlled one working off of a program, and one driven by a general AI is that a human did not have to be involved in the task at all. General AI, like the current purpose built AI, will be able to learn from first principals. That means they will be able to select and perform their own tasks once they are mature enough, just like us.
It is important to note that a real general AI has not yet been created. The technology is getting ever closer, though. It is only a matter of time before there is a break-through moment.
