Not to mention that propagation is limited to a fraction of the speed of light. The difference between distance and a delay are irrelevant.

They don't need an accurate clock. They just all need power restored at the same time. Assuming the timer is from first power on.

On the other hand, I don't know if it boots up and starts the clock when power is restored.

No, LG stands for Lucky Goldstar and they would appreciate you forget the Goldstar branding ever existed.

This iteration of Boost Mobile is the one owned by Dish Wireless. Dish had a huge amount of really good spectrum that they sold off this summer during Chapter 11. SpaceX waited until literally the worst time to buy in.

Yeah, it's a hard problem - because Microsoft isn't storing the time in UTC and using a display time to handle everything else. They must be storing in local time and doing conversions back and forth, making it unnecessarily complicated.

In its function as a web browser, it has to "scrape" the page the user requested and display it to them. I can only guess they are using this as a way to do distributed crawling by hijacking legitimate user sessions and only indexing the article the end user was trying to view.

90% of programming is figuring out what the intended right thing was in the first place. Unless it's your own project.

Maintaining it with a level of accuracy where enough sources exist to do so effectively. There is always Wikia/Fandom for unverified articles written by whomever.

Monopolies aren't about marketshare. It's all in how you use it. That people prefer Chrome even while it eats all their RAM really says something about the other browser choices. Especially when Edge is built on Chromium, just with a worse UI.

And by the way, "elderly" is usually referring to mindset in this case. Sounds like you're too young in that sense to catch on. We don't have a word for when it happens to Gen Alpha, who grew up on mostly touch interfaces and multiple OSes on different device types - zero depth on a daily driver work OS.

That's why latency is more important.

I really doubt that they finally fixed their scheduler to actually de-prioritize background tasks properly. That would be bigger news.

With Thunderbolt 5, you theoretically have a 120Gb/s link between them. Still researching...apparently there's something called RDMA over Thunderbolt 5 which can give direct memory access form one to the other. The latency is still about 30x-50x higher with RDMA vs local RAM but that's still crazy. And the bandwidth of local RAM is also much faster, which I assume is a little less important than latency.

Since it's all a bunch of matrix math across ALL of the RAM, it's still going to be slow. But it's at least possible to run models that couldn't before on the same hardware.

$2 billion for any government program of this scale is really not bad. The support is scaled to the poverty level of the region. If they are getting a 50% discount, they are either rural (1%-19% eligible for National School Lunch Program) or in a relatively poor urban rea (20-30% eligible for school lunch program).

Guaranteed funding for connectivity actually helps provide incentive to companies to build services for these areas. This is long-term guaranteed income to any company willing to run fiber to an otherwise unserviced area. I think that $3000 rate would be a lot higher if the public schools in the same town didn't have a discount too. The cost is driven by having multiple customers to support the infrastructure build out.

This is part of what's funded by the Universal Service Fund (USF fee) on your phone bill. And it's by far the least wasteful, since it's not about connecting individual households.

These are baseless claims as far as I can tell. Someone started a rumor, probably based on a mistake in a legal reference library entry in Minnesota. That library said they didn't rely on official records and only got information from secondary sources like Wikipedia. This is not enough grounds to start a whole investigation unless they were a political enemy.

She came from a country that was in civil war and there is no documentation available from there anymore.

Unpredictable maybe, not not unenforceable. They can choose to terminate a business relationship whenever they want as long as it's not based on a protected class. It doesn't even have to be in the TOS.
