That's why HFT's have switched to using RF communication years ago, as it has less delay than optical transmission over fibre. Most of they use radio towers, not satellites.

by LeonM 8y ago
No, it won't. These satellites are placed close to earth, so they will deorbit after some time. An orbit this close to earth is not sustainable, you need fuel to keep the orbit going. Once the fuel runs out, or the satellite malfunctio

Is there still a valid use-case for wildcard certificates when using Lets Encrypt? AFAIK wildcards were used for financial reasons and laziness (since the traditional method of acquiring a cert was cumbersome), but with LE none of those arg

When it comes to lethality, time is also an important factor. A very short burst of high current is not lethal. So if you really want to be correct, it's electrical charge that kills. edit: typo

by LeonM 8y ago
That is correct. SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS and TLS-RPT are all opt-in features for the receivers. One could say that email is the ultimate legacy product of the internet.

Because there is no practical method to do so. Email was never designed to be end-to-end encrypted and implementing end-to-end encryption would mean that everybody must switch to an end-to-end encryption capable protocol. Google is not resi

MTA-STS is nothing like SPF. SPF is a method to publish a policy on which senders are allowed to use your domain so send email. MTA-STS is a method to force MTA's to only use and accept TLS encrypted connections when handling email sen

A message is not 'transmitted via MTA-STS', it is transmitted via SMTP that uses TLS (SSL) to secure the connection between mailservers. MTA-STS [0] is a method to publish a policy on whether email servers (known as Mail Transfer

Heh, I'm old enough to remember that experience! But yeah, it's basically like that but with some more modern features like being able to do this from a browser (no filezilla required!) and better control over HTTP headers and suc

One feature I haven't seen in the comments here is the ability to just drag and drop an entire website folder from your harddisk to Netlify and it's live within seconds. Which worked great for a couple of older personal websites I

Most motherboards (but not all) have basic protection for this, so it's quite unlikely that you break your motherboard electronically that way. That said, blowing compressed air at a fan will spin the fan much faster than what it was d

You can Google that and find many guides on that topic. iFixit has really good guides. TLDR: Remove the screws on the bottom. You need a special screwdriver and keep in mind that (at least on the <=2015 models afaik) there are different

Pro tip: If your MBP is overheating (constant high fan speeds) the problem is usually a lot simpler than the thermal paste issue described in the article. It's usually just dust buildup. I have fixed multiple overheating Macbook pro&#x

I run a 43" 4K at my office, and have to conclude that I'd prefer more horizontal space (thus 2 smaller screens side-by-side, or an utlra-wide). I contribute 2 reasons: - The vertical space on a 43" is too much, you have to t

Oh man, nostalgia levels through the roof! I remember buying my first 3D 'accelerator card' as they were called back then. It was a Voodoo Banshee card. The Banshee had an onboard 2D video chip, so it didn't have the VGA pass

I don't think it's a bug, it's a feature (no pun intended). If there is problem with reported values from a BIOS, it's a good thing Windows does not continue. BIOS issues (such as a RAM address out of the reported range)

Agreed. It's not like Ferarri is going to lose a (potential) customer because their site loads a bit slow.

Well... Ferrari inlined a 1.7MB BASE64 encoded image of their prancing horse logo, only to render it at less than 1/10th of its size. That shows it's not always the massive JS libs that are the problem. It's also a lack of kn

That is also true for patent trolls, but that doesn't stop them. In the case of youtube the problem is that the strike is done by an automated system, and getting it fixed is a really frustrating experience because you can't talk

No, the OP meant it the other way around. Both channels were copyright striked multiple times by trolls. Both Cody and Dave (eevblog) did multiple videos on it explaining the situation.

Serious question though: has anyone here ever used the notifications for anything other than web based IM (slack, whatsapp)? I think the use case for legit notifications is very small, thus the UI should be an opt-in, rather than an intrusi

I'd say (but I do not maintain large FOSS): - Ask for donations - Ask commercial users to pay a fee (still voluntarily though) - Offer yourself as a consultant on the software, you can help businesses with implementation or migration.
