Why do get the impression that he approves of it?

It has also been done before and for much longer.

The are lots of ways to measure the distance to stars. But you are correct that certain methods are better for certain distance ranges

Thankfully I am not in the US so it does not affect me. And I do not subscribe to netflix

Netflix did pay for their bandwidth. Comcasts customers also payed. Somewhere in the middle there was an argument.

Comcasts customers are already paying to access Netflix. They are paying netflix and paying comcast. How comcast can not cope I do not know. As someone earlier pointed out End points will never provide symmetrical data transfers. It is always downloads. But then they are not stupid so they know that. I know they have a big network but how did they not give netfix a chance. Almost like they deliberately chose to mess around.

where did this go wrong? People pay for access. Not as much as they should but how can you deny them the access Paying for

And you are claiming that this is not comcasts problem? How?

I do not understand why they are doing that. It makes me cringe.

Station keeping is slightly different.
The wind and waves may shift the ship but the currents in the water are fairly consistent. The bulk of the ship is in the water and predominately affected by the currents. It takes a while for wind to affect it. and there is little to be done about waves apart from ride over them if small or correct for position afterwards if they are large enough to move the vessel.

Netflix do not peer with comcast. Netflix demonstrably has enough bandwidth available to get the data out there (onto the pipes so to speak). Comcast refused to provide the bandwidth from the transit providers to their own network. You know the one that their customers pay for.

I'm not saying that all their customers should always get all the bandwidth they have purchased. Overselling keeps prices down. But if you oversell you should not be surprised if you eventually have to make good on the claims you made. And in this case it did not even involve a massive infrastructure upgrade.

Have you ever tried to move a barge or for that matter any boat rapidly enough to compensate for something the rocket could not? If it is a slight know drift then maybe. Last min rapid changes. Not a chance.

In Germany they do not deny their past or try to hide it. They do have some weird rules as they just do not want it to happen again.

And comcast should be able to satisfy the upstream demand generated by the plans they sell.

California's urban water usage is 10% of the total water usage. Of that 10% half is used for landscaping.

Unfortunately it also means the combination of the whole of the distinct sets. Combine them all. You expect no internal disagreements? There were internal disagreements before the Union. It would be worrying for everyone around the world if the EU turned into a single borg mind.
