I've always found it astounding how majority of people will readily accept the anti-terrorist argument as a reasonable one, without any scrutiny whatsoever. I'm imagining a situation in which a bunch of terrorists are planning a bombing attack, but then having to scrap it because explosives would cost more than 10k EUR. "Pack it up guys, they got us this time, no possible way we can go through with the plan now".

How does ~1000 represent 0.001% of 800k?

Reminded me of a blog post from 2000, written by a disheartened techie during dot-com era. Here is what she wrote about the "dot-com" people: "They don't have personal sites. They don't want personal sites. They don't get personal sites. They don't get personal."

Here is the full post:

Could someone not build something similar, but for WiFi routers instead of charging stations?. I.e. a company selling or renting pre-programmed WiFi routers that sell bandwidth directly to the users. Anyone could buy or rent one and put it inside their private space that is within a public zone (e.g. cafes and restaurants). Thoughts?
