Yeah, maybe. My connectivity feels pretty intermittent to some ASNs, but I don't know if that's what changes between a good peering connection and a bad one.

I'm really unsure as to whether it's worth investing whatsoever in consumer grade fiber connections. My speeds are advertised as 1Gbits down and 100Mbits up. On speed tests, I get much higher downloads (~1.5Gbits per second). This

I'm far from an expert on L3-L2 ISPs and their tech, but they usually rent the line from whoever owns it and then sell it back to you - then they cap the speed between you and the box. It's most likely an operational mistake - hav

It's good to note that it depends largely on the company you're looking at. I work for a very large organization (~£6bil in revenue, £700mil in profit last year) and we suffer from the "mud" problem - nothing about our t

Minus the hyperbole/sarcasm with the dollar amounts and time period, yeah - pretty much. Opportunity cost is the primary driver of these moderately profitable but high risk crimes, and the amount you earn from a regular job will steadi

As the average wage divided by the average living costs continues to go down, while the price of commodities stays the same or goes up, we will start seeing more and more ridiculous thefts like this all across the world. In a few decades I

There are three differences between what Osman Unincorporated and the companies that you describe have done. # Number one is scope: - They do not have the same amount of readers, evangelists etc. that could harass the person making the erro

If you make tens of thousands of dollars a month on YouTube with AdSense, you are effectively a business. And indeed, many of these YouTubers have setup businesses in their name that receive the AdSense funds, and pay themselves a salary ou

I have genuinely no clue what that is. I don't think it's the same thing as Open Banking, though. The FCA did just fine NatWest a quarter of a billion for their blatant money laundering.

Open Banking is some serious business. Wondering if they're gonna face any fines in the coming years due to non compliance... These won't be the regular EU slap-on-the-wrist fines either.

It's extremely misleading, that sort of map view of a war like liveuamap tries to create. There is going to be no attempt to defend farmland, little towns or villages etc. The fact is that the administrative and economic centres of Ukr

If someone is sending me 1Gbps at layer 3, doesn't that just saturate my link to my ISP (and therefore the open internet) anyway? Regardless of whether I block it with my router?

What do you mean? Plenty of people are on 30Mbps connections and I have more than triple that in upload.

I meant more for the usecase of having a public endpoint. I don't like the idea that my only option is to hide my endpoint as the origin of a CDN in order to prevent it from being saturated with traffic by a digital ocean droplet.

As far as DDOS protection goes, I'd like some tips there. Also, a question - if I have a 1Gbps home connection am I strictly screwed if someone is sending a little more than 1Gbps to me UDP-wise? It's the kind of question that see

Sorry but this looks like a crock of shit - it's just bank branches, ATM locations etc. In the U.K. this is public information under the Open Banking Initiative. There's an endpoint for every high street bank.

I imagine that the difficulty in creating such a service is finding the vendors that serve this data - care to reveal some secrets? FYI, LiveUAMap charges $150pm for personal use and $1500pm+ for enterprise use (with relatively limited requ

That's what I was suggesting with my little addendum at the bottom. Would honestly like to try it, if someone would like to pay my mortgage + fooooood costs with VC bucks for a few years.

The world is not an RPG video game, you likely can't just strictly "improve" yourself up to any given standard (no matter what any employer or teacher tells you - they're just trying to buy time as you sit in their class

Did the firearm make warfare more or less brutal? I would have said less, if you discount the scale at which they allowed war to happen in by the transitive property that they allow reliable control of a population. Similarly, I don't

The count of soldiers doesn't matter; you can only fit so many on a battle line anyway and a war in which you run through a full battle line of infantry is so costly that even that insane regime wouldn't go for it. The red army re

I don't know if I understand what "logic" is, but I clearly used the context of sociology and the game of life. Furthermore, if you want to fight on the ground that this isn't logic - who's to say that a higher numb

Are these "intelligent" investments? Or just complex adaptive systems which are theoretically digestible by you but you don't even bother? Honestly, I wouldn't bother putting my money into a 401k - I would stash it away,

What's wrong with Ohio? I hear only good stuff from there. I'd love to live there if I was in the states - quiet, reserved and self reliant to a point.
