Money mostly. $185,000 application fee to apply for a new gTLD, plus maybe some auctions for gTLDs that multiple entities wanted, resulted in just under $60 million for ICANN.[2] Apparently Google and Amazon were the most prolific appliers,

I would like to think there there is a solution that can be engineered, in which a service is able to verify that a user is above an appropriate age threshold, while maintaining privacy safeguards, including, where relevant, for the age-pro

I think when I was around 12-13 or so, a new Latin teacher (fairly young - not long out of university) had our class reading Catullus. I'm sure you can imagine the reaction of a roomful of teenage boys reading Latin poetry that iirc in

I suspect that in this case "seaglider" is just REGENT's marketing name, rather than a term with broader uptake. All the places I'm seeing the name 'seaglider' used in this context look like REGENT's prosp

I have to suspect that your post is based on assumptions from the (somewhat misleading) post title, rather than from reading the article content. The following is a direct quite from the article: "None of this is to say that LLMs aren’

I'm not sure this is as significant as their marketing folk would have us believe. (I know, shocking). Accent is rarely the whole issue in dealing with non-native language call centres, it's just one part of the language skills pa

I'm surprised fraud[1] hasn't been raised more in the Horizon IT scandal, given that some of the bugs involved duplicating transactions, and some of these bugs had been uncovered during testing. i.e. The Post Office/Fujitsu w

At this stage it looks like it's just a prototype/technology demonstrator for testing. Other articles have mentioned testing automated refueling systems for this vessel, which implies a longer term patrol role. Other naval vessels

An application I used to deal with was similar, but with a somewhat quirky developer, who would deliberately flip between positive/negative confirmation questions, e.g.: - Confirm this is correct? (Yes=F1, No=F2) - Would you like to ma

In the same vein, it reminds me of the 1980's Domesday project, which had some sections that were similar to this, although given that it was published in 1986 , it was pretty much point and click to move between static photographs. [1

I replaced my home plug av2 adapter with g.hn ones a year or two ago, and it has been much better. Lower latency, more stable, and higher bandwidth. (The av2 ones would just drop out for 90-ish seconds a few times a month, which was quite a

I think the encapsulation probably refers to the 'city in a building' aspect, i.e. residents have most needs satisfied within the building, and rarely need to leave the building itself. cf. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

Agreed. But the topology given in the article shows three separate, non-overlapping /64s, one for each host/router. (Although one would assume that the router at least must have an interface in each subnet, even if that's not

Not sure I entirely agree with : "Here is the classical topology of home network." ... "And all the LAN hosts have one /64 IPv6 prefix." Are people really deploying IPv6 like this? Rather than a /64 to a vlan

That incident probably underscores the parent poster's point quite effectively. That launch was on 20th April 2023, and the next prototype test launch was only 212 days later on 18th November 2023, although I think the pad redesign&#x2

I suspect the combination of being able to dissipate 3.4kW of power, and the requested size and noise constraints may put this combination of features firmly beyond reasonable, even before considering cost. But there is always room to hope.
