I like the Factorio comparison. It's great to show the complexity of manufacturing simple products and how transport delays in one area can affect the whole economy.

With Cloudflare, you won't know who their ISP is.

But why would the clear command be in their history?

You're not allowed to use Cloudflare to just serve files, at least not in free/cheap tiers.

It depends on the kind of accident. Currently, accidents are also treated very differently depending on intend and the likelihood that this fault would've been made by other drivers. I assume software will be judged under the same circ

The important part here is to use the right benchmark for human drivers. Crash statistics are heavily skewed by drivers that are speeding or under the influence. That can be the right benchmark to show how AI driving can help in certain cir

Driving isn't solved though. There are very limited areas where computers can drive. Apart form that, driving is done entirely by humans. Driving would be a task where AI could become hugely important and help to solve labor shortages

You're right, but for me as a customer it doesn't matter. I can choose from two geographical locations and cannot use both at once with one account. So there's no option to get data close to my users.

I do, because hopefully we'll wear masks for a bit longer which also prevents the spread of many other diseases.

I'm from Europe so not sure if that's a US thing but that's certainly not such a big topic over here. Yes, public transport can't be 100% safe, being in public never is. But rapes in public transport and blood stains on

I don't want to have my own IP, at least not without frequent changes. My servers should have static IPs but having static IPs at home or for mobile devices only makes tracking easier..

The point is that many people are too lazy to learn a more complicated alternative to something simple they've used for a long time. And that's why ipv6 still hasn't taken off in many areas.

It can make a lot of sense. Store data at the provider that can do it best, analyze your data at another provider with a superior product. You'll find data centers of all major providers within a few miles of each other in at least 10

But they didn't pass laws, people wanted it. No government encouraged people to buy smart speakers, consumers bought them because they liked the convenience.

In my experience, airplane mode on keeps battery usage at maybe 1% per hour (if you keep the screen off). Has the advantage of being available much faster and that the phone can be used if necessary. Because of that, I haven't switched

Backblaze has only two locations and they cannot be used with the same account. Your data is (within one account) always just in California oder Amsterdam. For many needs, having multiple PoPs is crucial.

According to PeeringDB, they're mostly outbound [1]. I guess they already serve so much traffic that they don't need extra inbound capacity. [1] https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/13335

According to Wikipedia, the existing blocks create only 20% of the electricity needed, so this should only go to about 40%? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mochovce_Nuclear_Power_Plant

For companies it's not that easy though. Employees will accumulate services and don't cancel them, will leave without leaving any info on which services were bought for what purposes etc. Companies still need proper invoices and a

And you can get a 10gbit/s uplink for ~€45/mo. Traffic is not unlimited anymore then but with €1/TB still cheap.

Was that a new account where you'd already paid money? Never heard of that before, I've been a customer at Hetzner for years with considerable volume. So far their support was always great.

But aren't we already over-diagnosing some cancers? Spotting more tiny tumors in unrelated images might do more harm (through procedures/treatment) than ignoring them. I'm not sure if we're really better off detecting ev

From my experience, a lot of buses in Africa and East Asia are run by private companies or individuals, not municipalities. So the number could very well be correct.

That's the case if the majority of people hold progressive views. I've encountered enough conservative companies where people had no problem sharing openly conservative views (some to an extreme that led to open racism). In those

Most people use ISP provided routers at home, firewalls in those aren't necessarily great.

Why do you have to give them a huge boost in comp? There's no union at Google, they can pay whatever they see fit. They could just hire them at lower salaries but that'd destroy the image that anyone working at a FAANG makes at le

Also looks nicer on the balance sheet. Basically Workers as a Service. Makes Google look much more efficient (in terms of revenue per employee) than it actually is.

Or they could hire them as employees. This is not temporary work, they only use agencies to save money and circumvent workers protections. I get that there are freelancers who like not being employees but that's not the case here. I be

Not the person you asked but for me, the discussion of Edge computing often misses if there are actually enough benefits. Slow response times are nearly always because the application is slow, not because the server is 100ms away instead of
