Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that there's one TLS connection per site. Ten CDNs are still 140k, pretty tame by today's standards.

14k is too damn big? O_o Even this page (when I'm writing this) is 170k+ in a site that doesn't include images, bells and whistles.

Not my groups, owned by non-technical users, so I doubt they will accept that suggestions. Everybody uses Whatsapp here, so it's the path of least resistance. Anyway, I don't believe this is going to last, unless Telegram itself d

And 3) you ignore the judge's requests.

by narag 3y ago
The reason the judge ordered the block is that Telegram ignored his requests for information. That is a dangerous thing to do. The groups I'm subscribed to are creating parallel groups in Whatsapp in case the block starts working.

Good science fiction is often more about the present than about the future: a projection of current problems into an amplified version of reality. Sometimes that device gets overdone: 2004 Battlestar Galactica felt to me carrying much of 9&

I've run one small list, a few hundreds subscribers, a long time ago. I used a now defunct service based on free software... mailman? I can't remember. One idea: see what popular open source projects are using. I wouldn't sel

Those are rookie numbers. My fucking drill sergeant would have put him to fucking shame in two fucking minutes. Edit: Arthur C. Clarke had a short story about a word counter that a scientist used with his talkative wife, I can't find t

As kibwen said, there wasn't a clear "standardized" form. Most rules were invented much later. "IC" was perfectly understood by Romans that would have used "MXMII" without a second thought. The reason of &

Funny, because that article says exactly the same. "Short" distances are calculated by parallax, taking Earth's orbit diameter as the base. From there, it's a extrapolation of the spectrum of known types of objects. Not

No, it's a very easy alignment problem: just impose a tax on size. That's a very bad idea when you're dealing with small to medium companies. You're taxing economies of scale and innovation. That's a huge problem

How do we know that galaxies are accelerating away from us and not moving at constant speed? There's a more basic question: How do we know the galaxies are moving? It seems (I haven't seen any other response, like... ever) that

I have some good friends that are lawyers and used to work as public defenders, not sure if they still do. Their experience was not exactly like the author's. Their clients lied to them, yes. But they were very competent, knew every lo

The moment men learned to make fire, be sure there was some guy there that put everything to the fire to see what happened. How do I know? I would have been that guy.

If you gave them a lathe, I wonder what they would have made. That confused me because in Spanish, the same word is used for a potter's wheel. Anyway that would be more recent too. But I think that there's a long prehistoric per

I didn't mean to keep operating it, but to use it for spare parts or as a container, to shield new gear from those perky micrometeoroids. The ISS must be ~ 2/3 (?) of escape velocity and out of the densests layers of the atmospher

I read somewhere that they're considering abandoning the ISS in the future and "deorbiting it". Is this for real? If yes, wouldn't it be possible to move it to a higher, safe orbit instead? Maybe even taking it to Moon&#

Indeed. But only when you're close to the ground and then it could be too late.

I expect if astronauts aboard HLS lose their altimeter they'd have to abort the landing immediately -- to proceed without it would be the height of recklessness. In addition to the obvious, it should be taken into account that the ab

I'm happy for him, but I dislike that extension. It's one of the first things I disable in a new Windows installation. I prefer to deal with compressed files explicitly.

Vos is an archaic pronoun that was used to address the nobility. Like usted it was associated with a different verbal form, in this case the plural. You address a noble as if he was more than one person. I guess that's hard to appr

Voseo is only used in Argentina, not sure if also in Uruguay. It's very localized, but still accepted and documented. Rest of speakers understand it no problem, it's very easy to get used to it. This link to the Spanish Real Acade

Not sure if I explained it well. The difference between tú/vosotros y usted/ustedes is the former is informal while the latter is more formal, showing extra respect for the interlocutor. Usted/ustedes uses the same verbal for

It's weird that it mentions the Sea of Cádiz, but not Cádiz City. Instead: Vejer ("Beger") Tarifa ("Terifa") and Gibraltar ("Zibelter"). The cities far from the coast are randomly placed. Actually, Mediter
