I'll concede that there are some things where everyone benefits from having one large entity negotiate better conditions for everyone. Like health care. If you go up against the pharma industry as one guy, they screw you over. If you go up against them as a state, they'll have a harder time. The magic word is negotiate, if the state runs things, everyone gets fucked.

And there needs to be a way to opt out and do private health care instead.

I'm also expecting the state to do infrastructure, like laying internet cables or water pipes to where people live, even if it is remote. It's fine to use tax money for that. But once it's done, reduce the taxes again.

Apparently a whole slew of browsers are sending IPv6 connections whenever they connect, "just to see which one is faster", which sure sounds like a lot of bandwidth for somebody to pay for ... must be worth it to someone.

Don't they just send a packet to measure response time? I'm not certain that'd amount to any noticeable increase in monthly BW usage.

Can someone who actually understands the Dismalest Science enlighten us?

I'm not your guy. It's an interesting topic of discussion and I hope someone who knows what they're talking about can come in and enlighten us.
