Couldn't agree more. My expertise is live streaming and just for the 'what the hell does this error code really mean in exoplayer' it is invaluable.

With over 25 years in IT error codes still just as shite as ever. But another issue...

Death rate for covid-19 in USA is 319/million. So this is below trend.

Had same issue in UK with false reporting of TFL staff.

Easy one for news editors I guess. Find a company you don't like and get death rate.

I am on 4 day week as got option. Often using home day on Python projects for Blender for fun not exactly wasted.

I treat it as my fun projects day.

Read a few research papers on topic and features like Slicing in HEVC to allow for subframe encoding/decoding plus calculation of motion vectors direct from 3d model means encode/decode times should be measured in latency of 30milliS or so.

As always biggest barrier is network latency, capacity and stability.

Same stuff in UK. Still have a pack of the useless things they sent out for free.

Far better to let the economics of LED in lifetime and efficiency stand on own.

My RV so old only got CD player ( no jack port even ).

Quite happy to handover. This looks a bit more in depth though as wants deep access to transactions.

All use SSL AFAIK so guess limited to IP blacklisting. But FB has pretty diverse set of resolvable IP addresses to edge nodes and DCs.

I guess it is catching a lot of other traffic if above.

Personal data capture, analysis and sharing is part of Facebook DNA.

Hopefully the fines will hit where it hurts and cause a re-evaluation of culture.

"The only true number that matters is aggregate peak demand. If aggregate peak demand exceeds network capacity then packets are going to drop. So if the ISPs were being truthful and selling real services instead of fictional ones, they would sell plans with bandwidth caps that kick in only during times of congestion"

You 100% got it. Cost to ISP's is about gigabit/sec peak not gigabytes per month. Only addition is some types of traffic are cheaper due to POP caching e.g Netflix caching servers.

A competitive ISP structure leasing last mile to POP as suggested would allow for much better indication in ISP choices between caching, transit purchases and peering. Also clever models based on customers who would pay premium for capacity at peak, latency etc.

Programming ( as I like to call it ) is a great career. Afraid I came of generation of hackers at early days of mid 90's on the web front.

Dodgy CGI Perl scripts , SVN as version control - if any. Proud to see it mature over almost 25 years.

Not an unreasonable question. The USA when puts its mind to something gets shit done.

Other examples include Manhattan project 1939-1945.

Not within 1 term mind. But still good question

Which any decent website will block due to weird traffic from set of ips or by behaviour blocking?

Am I missing something ?

You can get the car nice and toasty to a schedule or remote.

Also if extreme cold don't need to keep the ICE ticking overnight.

I thought $200billion for Dementia per year in USA cannot be that high! But that is only $500 per capita and makes sense when each patient probably needs about $50,000 per year in care and drugs ( never mind unpaid family / friend support ).

Totally agree underfunded. Good luck this trial.
