What happens to 100-200 m long pipe in underwater waves when e.g. a hurricane or a storm comes? That’s an excellent question, but it is also similar to asking what will happen to wind turbines in a storm. Maybe some will break. Maybe that

Is there any incentive for a company to remove fake traffic[0] from its stats and analytics? I guess there is no incentive in most markets. Facebook, etc make only a token effort to reject non-troublesome bot traffic. [0] bots and other aut
