Comment (by cypherpunks):

 {{{
 Mike:
 1) On the thread with Google about ReCaptcha: To be honest, I think that
 reaching out to them like this is a waste of time. I should have
 objected to the idea earlier. Public pressure about exactly how bad this
 situation is will be the only thing that will move the needle in terms
 of them devoting resources to the problem. For pete's sake.. This is a
 company that is basically the primary/only gateway to much of the
 Internet, and it has decided that certain IP addresses *do not deserve
 access to that Internet*. Full stop. This is not a problem that gets
 solved by having our devs talk to their devs to "nerd harder". This
 should be a PR bloodbath..  We should have made it one months ago.
