AT&T has invented a new ripoff scam. Get high speed internet service, but the price is a LOT higher if users opt to retain their privacy.
And our SD US Senator John Thune is shilling for the big money ISPs who don't want FCC regulation. You may wonder how after seeing what AT&T is doing why anybody in their right mind would not want more regulation of the internet and ISPs as public utilities. Thune has demonstrated he cares more for a Canadian pipeline company and for AT&T and other ISPs already making billions than he cares for the voters of South Dakota. He is a shill for whatever industry dumps money into his campaign funds. Logic and even ideology have little to do with his issue positions.
And, meanwhile, back in the department of blue and black or brown or white and black dresses, I suspect differences between us may have something to do with our relative sensitivity of the rods and cones in our eyes. With particular images and particular color and light levels, a slight shift in relative sensitivity of rods and cones might shift light colors to plain white light, etc. But, I sure don't know, but suspect a simple explanation like this might reduce a lot of humbug arguments. I was away from the internet for a few days and was wondering what all the fascination for that striped dress was about...cartoons, Facebook, etc.
I guess we all need to be glad our eyes put a little color into our lives even if some of us may have more or less color sensitivity than others have. Whatever..........
And here is a link with more info on color perception. So much for my theory.
