But that doesn't scale. Gigabit speeds are possible with DOCSIS but that hinges on massively oversubscribing their last mile infrastructure and usage patterns to slowly increase. With DOCSIS, nodes can be huge and encompass hundreds of

That's not the scenario. If I want into your account and I only have the password I don't wait for you to try to log in, I just try to log in and sniff the message to "prove" that I have the phone.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. At the very least, I think it's reasonable to require that certain software engineering projects have some professional oversight, but that doesn't mean that the intern needs to be licensed

There would be benefits to licensing web dev. I wouldn't suggest that a license should be required for any web development but if the website is used to safeguard PII or secure financial transactions then I don't think it would be

If you do that then it's super easy to social engineer the company in question. "I don't know what I put for mother's maiden name, I just mashed the keys a lot on that".

From what the author found, it seems pretty clear to me that that patent is nothing more than an idea on paper right now. If the device doesn't send anything over the network for a "handshake" then it isn't a handshake a

Whoever was left mining after that wouldn't get more block rewards unless it was something more extreme like bricking 70% of miners instead of just disabling them for a short amount of time. They would be able to mine 100% of blocks bu

$1000 is still game changing. $1000 is something that's downright cheap to throw a few of on a car if it allows for a true NHTSA level 4 self driving car.

The waste of working on Mir isn't the problem IMHO. Canonical has a ton of market share, at the time Mir was released it was already looking like getting AMD and Nvidia were going to take a while to support Wayland. Splitting the ecosy
