I had Sonic fiber for a few years, in the Bay Area. I always got the full gigabit, basically. Speedtest always showed around 940Mbps up and down. This was over Ethernet, since I always ran Ethernet into the Thunderbolt dock for my main Mac.

The fastest internal SSD in a Mac now can write at 3.3GB/sec, so it would be able to keep up with 25Gbps connections, barely. Average SSD write speeds are usually around 1GB/sec these days, but most folks could build a RAID of sev

It probably looks new mostly because the pipes are so shiny. This is because, in order to change any note, a new pipe is actually installed in one of the slots.

You could listen to one of the versions out there that only lasts an hour. That would give you a good sense of the full piece. Then you could go listen to a snippet of it, in this extremely slow version, and get a sense of that. Then combin

No, it's not trivial to make extremely long time-based pieces on the web. Because you have to keep the computer running continuously. That turns out to be extremely difficult. So there is no spectacle, here. Part of the magic of Cage&#

Um, obviously a lot of people. Lightning is ten years old. People have ten years' worth of docks and cables and specialized accessories. Another thing most mindless USB-C promoters aren't aware of is, the Lightning port is signifi

It probably only cuts one way because it's difficult or impossible to implement "anti-monopoly-power technology", as you put it. Indeed, in your own comment you posited the existence of such a technology but then failed to su

Indeed. It only takes 5 minutes to figure out that staying with Lightning serves Apple's existing customer base better than an arbitrary stupid change to USB-C, which offers basically no advantages to iPhone users and a lot of disadvan

Correct. Genius Bar folks are not hardware-repair folks.

Le Corbusier just didn't have this figured out. But Christopher Alexander did. See "A Pattern Language" and "The Timeless Way of Building".

You're probably incorrect about German teenagers, who appear to have basically the same preferences as US teenagers, i.e., overwhelming preference for iPhone or the nicer tiers of Samsung devices. https://www.statista.com&#x

The headline doesn't imply that at all, actually. No causality is suggested here.

Sorry, nope. Not in this context; the context of a professor-student relationship where the professor is obligated to treat students with basic respect.

That right stops once the speech becomes abusive. Professors don't get to abuse students. For instance, a professor could make sexual comments about a student. That, too, by your definition, would be "free speech", and thus a

There is no "religious right" to be an abusive asshole. Further, there is no religion whose tenets require you to be abusive to trans people, or which even suggest such behavior.

There are a couple gigantic blind spots here: 1) AI appears to have approximately zero chance of making housing and food and other basic needs cheaper. 2) Artists WANT to make money for creating art, music, etc.

Actually, we do indeed what the vote would have been, which is why AP felt comfortable calling it. You know why they called it, right? It's because Hillary had enough pledged and unpledged delegates at that point to become the nominee.

Uh, this is completely absurd. Please refrain from commenting in public if you think this is remotely true. Also, "I've seen" is a pretty classic way to disown the words you're saying and to evade accountability. Do YOU

Not remotely comparable. In the early TV era, there was no realistic and comparable alternative venue for the speech being censored. In the modern internet era, of course, there are dozens or hundreds of credible alternative ways to dissemi

The Mac Studio is an M1 Mac, so you might want to rephrase that part.

Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair are absolutely mainstream, by any standard, and are also not solely "entertainment industry" publications. Seems like you're engaging in a classic No True Scotsman fallacy, here.

I'm aware of that. But as you are no doubt aware, a very very large number of commentators who really ought to know better are explicitly saying that it's a matter of "free speech rights" (which is obviously is not) or t

I'm referring to the general, overall discussion of this issue. I thought I was being clear about that. But perhaps I was not. Apologies for that. :)

If it helps at all, my 40s were my favorite decade so far. You sound like a person who really has a tremendous amount to offer. You just need to figure out what you want to do and what gives you joy. I am not a magical genius who can figure

How much gold, precisely? One wonders when we'll be graced by Sony's white paper on how precisely this gold is magically making sound "clearer". I bet that'll be a doozy.

As for the excuse you wrote it on your phone: you made the same mistake, plus capitalizing "Union's", which we also don't do in English, in your first post on this. So basically, you can't form the plural properly i

So I'm to take lectures on economics from people who can't spell the plural of "union"? No thanks.

You're out of line. Think more carefully before referring to others as "sick". You haven't the slightest notion of what I "think" or what I have or have not "forgotten" or what I think is or is not &q

False. Not a single one of them used any external lens at all, according to the page itself. This may be true for the campaign as a whole, but it's not true for the page under discussion in this thread.
