Basically I will be forced to pay at least $50/month ($600/year) for a hookup in an area where electricity has been built out for a century+.

There are something like 100,000 units in the same situation, so my provider will be raking in $60m/year for a grid that is already built, just for my city alone.

Which is ridiculous.

IMO the grid connection cost should be based on the value of the property and billed to the property owner, not based on the income of each connection and billed to each person renting an apartment.

Also important is attribution.

What about the ISA would make Apple's core designs impractical or less efficient?

You can have a group of people sharing a block and collectively responding to abuse reports to slightly improve privacy. That at least shields you somewhat from the big tech firms.

Essentially a large number of virtual private micro-ISPs.

The point is to not get hung up on the client as a security boundary (it isn't, can't be, won't be), but to focus on the actual harm -- excessive use of the limited resources provided.

And you have to frame your security posture as rooted in the server side throttling, heuristics, et cetera. Flipping out because the client isn't what you expected isn't going to help (determined attackers can look like "vanilla" clients), and is just going to harm the long tail of actual users who are not bots.

Apart from printers and smart TVs, less than half of US households have any of those other devices.

Anecdotally, most people I know who own those devices are the more technically inclined. Especially the thermostats and light bulbs. Even the doorbell surveillance networks have low penetration.

So called "independent contractors" also have the right to decide which contracts they will and will not take. Do Uber Eats and Doordash allow them to deny these "doorstep delivery for apartments in theft-prone cities" jobs?

Someone might come along and tell you that you are missing out on some pylance features, but fuck closed source dev tooling it ain't worth it.

Edit: looked into it further. It appears they did write "vegan" in parentheses at the end. I wonder if they had been more subtle about it if the results would be as pronounced.
