Smaller devices that don't need to send or receive more than 100mbits? Devices that don't want to consume more energy than necessary? (I think gigabit is more power-hungry). Wifi isn't practical for all use cases either.

I bet you couldn't name three tribes in Iraq without running off to the internet to look it up, and yet you are confident that you know them so well to state that the majority of them want to crush all the others? Please try not to pai

They're already losing enough money with Marcus right now, why risk losing some more? Goldman needs to figure out how to properly run their existing consumer bank first.

Oddly, it had been reported that the bidding process for the bank was 'competitive' and that there were several interested parties. I can't see how that could have been true if the final price was a token £1 ?

At first glance, bank balance sheets are unintuitive and feel 'the wrong way round'. When someone deposits $1m at a bank, the bank doesn't have $1m more assets, it has $1m more liabilities. (Yes, this is a gross over-simplifi

This is a good idea, I will certainly look at this. There are some planned features WRT caching coming up. While it is probably a bug, it's probably not a serious one that many people would run into nowadays. Now that https is ubiqui
