I’ve often wondered how much cheating goes on in TCP and who would notice. Many years ago my company made a VPN which tunneled through TCP† specifically designed for heavily loaded networks. I changed the Linux kernel to cap our back off ti

Unless most of that $12K is used to cover the non-paying customers… The industry term is uncompensated care . It is currently at its lowest levels in decades, about 4.2%.† I suspect the ACA has something to do with that, so we might expe

They are a panel of three judges which sets the statutory compensation rate for music played on streaming services. Their goal is to set it at a market rate of what a willing seller and a willing buyer would agree to. It is what keeps strea

This carried over from radio. It was decided that recording artists benefited sufficiently from the publicity of being played on the radio leading to record purchases and concert ticket sales. Song writers managed to get a compulsory royalt

The duration of cough and days missed from work are not significantly different in the two groups. The number that is improved with elderberry is a self assessment score for a number of factors about how the patient feels. Their congestion

Most US States say two seconds. Some say three. German law requires 0.9 seconds, but studies show 41% of drivers there follow closer in relaxed conditions!† Out here in the relaxed midwest most drivers in 60mph traffic seem to follow about

Suggested highway following distance is two seconds. This gives you time to react to a decelerating vehicle. It is not sufficient time to stop if a stationary object appears, either because the vehicle in front dodges out of lane, drives ov

Why can't undergraduates enter straight into a medical school program? That is a thing called a direct entry medical program. It gets you the the end of medical school in 6 years instead of 8 by dispensing with the undergraduate degr

Not explicit in the title is “efficiently on a modern CPU”. They tend to be 1 to 4 opcodes each. I think the list might serve as a jumping off point if you are looking at an algorithm which depends on an integer permutation and want to cons

I wonder about robustness. Can the microcode physically destroy the CPU? Consider driving a bus line both high and low simultaneously from two sources. That puts transistors which ordinarily spurt out a little current to overcome capacitanc

I can't tell from the pictures, but around that time period diamond grit drive wheels came into use. Either the top or bottom drive wheels would have a diamond grit on their surface which would make an indentation pattern in the paper

Without making the example too complex, it is the instantaneous peaks which get you in trouble. You could have your average power consumption approach 2C (totally discharged in two hours) and be just fine, that is the specified maximum for

Phones and laptops are different beasts. I'm going to make up some numbers here to simplify, but the idea is the important part. Note: I wrote this whole comment with C inverted the first time. Too little sleep. It is now fixed thanks

Denouncing shouldn’t add lag. On the first closure detection you can send the key down code. You then need some debounce logic to decide when to send the key up code, but after the key is solidly down you are again in a state to send the ke
