It isn't a hysterical idea, it is a retarded idea. For starters her example of Poland circa 1938 completely ignores that the Poland in question was actually a re-incarnation of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth and not Poland-the-coun

Pretty much[1], but the growth is at 50% a year as opposed to 60% so networks get slower compared to processors from the same generation, combine this with Kryder's Law[2] which states that magnetic storage grows at something like 100%

Nielsen's law means that we have to build half the pipes we have every year. It doesn't have to be Australia, just some place where natural disasters don't happen. The places you mention don't warrant much more optimism

And this shows us why it is a bad idea to have a large portion of the worlds digital infrastructure in a place which will destroy it sometime in the next century. Put it in the middle of the Australian outback, nothing's happened there

The industrial spies in the West send back information that binary was used exclusively and the Soviet bureaucracy, like usual, decided that the West knows best and shut down that area of research. One thing people in the West don't un

Believe it or not there is a respectable number of scientists, physicists no less, who make a living doing nothing but bringing 80 year old Soviet Science to the west. Every so often they get the front pages of nature for essentially findin

Back when I was a physicists every two bit crank used to go on about how ideas were more important than knowledge. Now I'm hearing the same in programming. And it's just as wrong here. Picking the right algorithm and stack means t

Please read the article. This technology is only viable for copper wires shorter than 30m. The previous spec at 1/10 speed was for wire shorter than 100m.

No. It's about nit needing to rip out whole buildings to put in fiber to the plug. They say it in the article.

No. This is for fiber to the premise, not fiber to the node. It would have solved some of the problems with the old NBN model, especially in highrise buildings in the city. I'm simply for this by the fact the government has been progre
