Unless a resource is very small, it won't be transmitted in a single atomic unit. The sender will only send a part of it, wait the client to acknowledge having received them, and only then send more. That requires a network roundtrip.

Those numbers are for a different page. For the original page, the article quotes 44 kB with this method vs. 92 kB for gzip. > At 69 KiB you're still over the default TCP packet max, which means both cases transmit the same number o

That size difference is large enough to make a difference in the number of round trips required (should be roughly one fewer roundtrip with any sensible modern value for the initial congestion window). Won't be a 2.5x difference, but a

Not as far as I can tell. The phrasing of the question test does not acknowledge such ambiguity to start with, and by forcing them to answer one way or the other the test does not allow the users to signal perceived ambiguity even if they w

Do you have a source for that? By default, I don't believe your claim. Hydro power would be a horrible match for a LNG liquification plant. The strength of hydro is that it's renewable energy with flexibility on the timing of ener

The numbers in the article? They're neither. They're the revenue for just Q2, not the full trailing year.

"Livestreaming" is an established term for this kind of service that also naturally sets the right expectations.

Authorities in the US, EU and (IIRC) Japan had expressed anti-trust concerns (threats?) about the original plan. The UK CMA is the only one of those that had a formal complaint, and thus ended up with a veto right on the new design.

I don't think you can make that conclusion. I think you're making the assumption that all three data points are needed for all 87%. But obviously some people can be uniquely identified based on just {zip, date or birth}, such that

Yes, and that page does not list Dart or Flutter, the projects you made false claims about. Writing something that turned out to not be true is understandable, anyone can get fooled by misinformation and pass it on. What's not acceptab

The term to search for prior art is user-mode scheduler / scheduling. Basically you add additional kernel features that allow making some scheduling decisions in the application, it's not something you'd just build on a vanil

Yes. and I don't just think that's the case. I know it's the case, because I have had my phone get stolen, and been able to recover access to all accounts without using backup codes or having had multiple copies of the TOTP

It's not that normal users are doing it in significant numbers. It's that other stakeholders are. For example browser makers do that. Safari on iPads claims in the UA to be OS X on Intel, not iOS on ARM. Another common use is for

We know the methodology by which they collect the data, which is why we can tell it's a skewed sample. We don't know how they process it. It's not possible to reliably determine the operating system from just the user-agent.

Statcounter's "stats" are garbage, and should not be reported on. They're computed from untrustworthy information generated from a skewed and undisclosed sample, and processed with an unknown methodology. All that's

It's an undocumented and reverse-engineered implementation detail. They don't need an excuse to change or remove it.

It's a neat idea, though not what I expected from the title talking about "smart" :) You might want to replace the single page format with showing just one question at a time, and giving instant feedback on after each answer.
