That's funny, I thought verizon's customers paid verizon nontrivial sums of money which happen to be many times of what netflix charges on a monthy basis to connect them to the internet, silly me.

If the non-trivial-much-highler-than-netflix monthly cost of verizon's internet service does not cover the cost of verizon connecting their customers the internet , what the hell does it cover? I also don't understand why they

I don't agree with your line of reasoning. There are a lot of not only interesting but also commercially viable things right here in our solar system. We have several huge balls of fuel, each of which has many orders of magnitude more

Further more, what is the exact connection between academic talent and great companies? Is there a connection to the value and position a start-up can obtain with the number of academia oriented employees it contains? Is it even a positive

If it not Verizon's responsibility to provide a internet connection, to the internet, then what exactly are their internet service customers paying for. Also, I find it interesting that netflix charges ~10-15 bucks a month, while the a

I think are more accurate quote would be "Technology is what allows a society to achieve a mature state." Just like freedom and basic human rights don't necessary make one happy, they do set the conditions to allow happiness

Having to pay a few dollars a month is hardly a trigger for calling something "wasted"... In my own humble opinion.

That is true. TCP congestion control throttles back the speed in the presence of dropped packets. Thus, dropped packets adversely affect throughput at a magnitude greater than the simple overhead of packet retransmission.

For me, I turn it into motivation. I check out the code that dazzled me with it's brilliance, I go through every line, stop to understand everything, then I ask questions. After that I normally create a home brew project that incorpora

This is just a guess, but it shouldn't impact your performance at all. It's just a passive network capture mechanism like wireshark. It will need resources to do all the logging/categorizing/displaying and such, but th

No big loss. Energy storage is going to hit the scene big time in a very near timeframe, and the "but baseload!" arguments for nuclear are going to hold much less weight.

I think you are missing the point of the statement. If one was designing a language meant to be developed in an IDE, you can hold various assumptions which would influence how syntax shapes up. A trivial example which is not related to rust

If graphene is toxic, that's bad, as it's a product whenever graphite based pencils are used.

Sunlight truly is the best disinfectant. The fact is, there are already people writing such tools and actively attempting to compromise systems with it. If the attack vectors are not released to public and made a big hub-bub of, sysadmins

"If someone can steal your private key, yes, they can now impersonate your SSL server." I don't understand this comment. If they steal your private key, they can impersonate the client and do everything the client can do.

The insinuations that: A) People that don't have kids are single B) Being single for extended amounts of time leads to some sort of emotional insecurity and "inevitable" burn out Are, frankly, far more insulting to me than th

But if the choice, then, is to live in California and not have kids versus living in Texas and being about to have kids, than I guess I'll never be a father.

No, anything in that range of efficient is a multi-junction cell. Multi-junction cells use a range of layered materials, each tuned to a narrow spectrum in which they can convert more efficiently than silicon, for instance.

You mean in the far-from-norm situation you mentioned, is solar "useless" without storage. And even in that context, you're wrong. Many off-the-grid electricity consumers use diesel or fuel-oil based generators, there are alr
