I'm not American so it shouldn't concern me, but fuck you're a bunch of idiots.

Reminds me of Stephen Colbert and Hugh Laurie pointing out the sheer ridiculousness of censoring words:

Shits mostly are none, Sherlock finds.
I'm not sure 19 days is enough to get hooked.
Number 2 is exactly where my hesitancy lies. Is a CDN still chugging along - not serving stuff to a select user group that has passim enabled is actually finding the fw - saving enough energy for it to cancel out a whole p2p network. I don't think so (and again, I'd need some metrics before I will. you can't just waive that away with 'local == fast&less steps == obvious; don't need statistics)
As for number 3: p2p can only say if there are peers. if there are no peers, there still can be an update (what about the first person to download the firmware for example). It would be a security risk for the system to not give you updates if there are no peers, so I highly doubt that's the case.
"If the claim is true", means they have to connect the account to someone related to a juror first. So if you make a troll post using a VPN, nothing will come of it (and rightly so).
Sending traffic through the LAN is extremely quicker and saves a lot of steps, you dont need statistics for that, it is obvious.
That's an overly simplistic way of looking at it, and in no way does it say anything about the energy efficiency of the system as a whole. Next to that, you still need the CDN server running 24/7 to serve hashes and fw that isn't available in the p2p-network (just think how much less power efficient it will be to first crawl the p2p-network, make the conclusion the fw isn't available on it, only then to still have to contact the CDN and download the fw the 'old school' way)
Don't get me wrong, it's a cool new feature and a great way to get less dependent on CDNs and save money. But I'm just not buying the energy saving argument.
They still need to contact (actually look for) and download from peers though. I can see how it can save money on CDN costs.
But with claims of climate friendliness, I would at least expect some energy consumption metrics to back that up (from all participants in the network)

Press X to doubt.
Aside from the correctness of the ruling or this situation. I'm guessing if Citizens United ruled 'money equals speech', then making/distributing a powerpoint probably also will be categorized as 'speech'.
Veni, faeces, vici.
