That doesn't really mean much. Basic NAT wasn't eligible to be on the standards track as it isn't a protocol. Same reason firewall RFCs are informational or BCP. The protocols involving NAT are what end up on the standards tr

Pretty sure NAT was standardized before IPv6. NAT is RFC 1631. IPv6 is RFC 1883. Admitted, that was very basic NAT.

According to APNIC labs, IPv6 adoption in India is ~79% and in China it is ~53%. Those are the only two countries that could plausibly have billions of mobile devices and they appear to have reached 50%. India: https://stats.labs

This is definitely talking about scaling past 10K open connections on a single server daemon (hence the reference to a web server and an ftp server). However, most people used dedicated machines when this was written, so scaling 10K open co

I'm not sure a vague passage from 1700 years ago is much in the way of evidence, especially given he claims the mushroom is a 10 inch tall person riding a carriage which you see before you consume it. Of course, he also claimed ano

We really don't need to retain interoperability, but if that is truly more important than English literacy, then perhaps we should be consistent. If we're going to argue that centre is the correct spelling because for some reason

Sadly, JustHTML doesn't appear to be truly passing those tests. It looks like the code doesn't always check whether expected errors in the testsuite match the returned errors - which is rather important to ensure one isn't ju

It's a good idea because spelling words how they're pronounced was one of the biggest achievements of the Western world and our broken orthography impairs literacy. Only English has this insanity driven by people who simply don&#x

You're conflating different chemicals together. Paraquat (what this article is about), isn't used by any people in the links you gave (golf courses, Dutch or Swiss farmers).

All the golf courses where I live use grey water - water that would otherwise be dumped into oceans/estuaries/rivers/etc. That's not really not comparable to data centers using potable water.

No. It's mostly that the proposed age verification schemes have fundamental problems that disqualify them from being considered "good" and none of the "better" implementations fix those problems at all.
