I'll fight for these terms because trying to "blocklist" them is such a ridiculous thing that I have zero interest in entertaining it. Nobody's actually offended by any of it, it's all made up by people with nothing

Oh yeah, the FCC would have smacked them but since the reporter "pretended to mishear the crowd" their plans were foiled! Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds? The reporter has literally zero control over what gets aire

T-Mobile has more than 30,000 Gitlab repos? That's mind-boggling. What a mess.

Twilio's "Programmable Wireless" product does not allow phone calls, and actually uses T-Mobile in the US. So no, it's not viable at all.

Ok, show me the enforcement action that was taken against NBC in this case.

It may not have been fleeting by the dictionary definition of the word, but it definitely was by the way the rules are applied. I've worked in the broadcast industry and have had to deal directly with this subject, so I'm not just

Because it was a spectacular failure, and with CNN's parent company changing ownership earlier this month, the new people in charge had no desire to dump more money into something that isn't going to pan out.

They're selling a service that provides "up to" the quoted speeds. Generally, the provisioned rate is actually higher than the quoted speeds, so unless the ISP is particularly awful they definitely can provide those speeds.

Nah, the profanity rules are substantially relaxed for live broadcasts these days. "Fleeting expletives" will not trigger a fine. Indeed, just watch a Sunday afternoon NFL game and you're guaranteed to hear some naughty words

There isn't a consumer ISP anywhere that doesn't oversubscribe bandwidth. It makes zero sense to give a residential connection dedicated bandwidth.

The number of chips within a five foot radius of you at this very moment that were manufactured by TSMC could easily be in the double digits. So imagine that all of the devices containing those chips are no longer able to be produced becaus

This is exactly correct. If China took out TSMC, we would have an unimaginable global catastrophe on our hands that would make Covid look like nothing. There are far too many eggs in that basket.

The something that changed was WarnerMedia (CNN's parent company) being bought by Discovery Communications earlier this month. The new people in charge saw what everyone else saw and axed this boondoggle ASAP.

The poison pill is there so he can't do it without approval of the board. If he comes in with a serious offer that the board decides is worthwhile, they can remove it just as easily as they added it.

What glorification? This is a thing that happened, and it's incredibly newsworthy. Prevent him from profiting off the video and leave it up. There is no reason to do anything further from YouTube's perspective.

>DOCSIS3 on coax last mile service (250 down x 16 Mbps up and 0.03% packet loss) I'm all for municipal broadband and sticking it to the incumbents, but DOCSIS3 is far better than you give it credit for. My current DOCSIS3 service fr

I'd assume that municipal broadband providers still have a privacy policy that would require a court order to turn over data to law enforcement. And that would be the exact same thing binding a corporate broadband provider.

Server-side session storage isn't necessarily a replacement for JWTs. It can be in many cases, but it's not one to one. JWTs do have advantages.

Whoa whoa, don't crap on politician's favorite do-nothing-but-promote-everything method of working! If enough people realized what was really going on, our politicians might actually have to start working for us!

My car (2020 Ford Explorer) will notify me if there's anyone in the back seats when I open the driver's door. It also constantly bings if anyone's seatbelt is unbuckled, not just the driver and passenger.
