Because people have to be at work which is coordinated to a “9-5” office workday and that will be harder to change than a clock.

Most routers can log enough information to calculate the bit rate. You’ll need enterprise equipment to show a real time feed per MAC but getting a “total bytes transferred” now and an hour from now is very easy.

Why not provide it for people who will pay for it? I know I would.

Bandwidth is a huge cost for these services and if they share encoding techniques then their competitors can cut prices at the margins.

Any idea why none of these services supports queueing some movies you’d like to watch, downloading them in the middle of the night in astounding bitrates, and allowing you to watch on your TV? As far as I can tell only the mobile apps suppo

Sure they have more links. But why does that give them ownership of Imhotep's toothbrush? If possession equals ownership for land (i.e. nobody is really claiming that the land that Egyptians live on should be given to someone other tha

This is not really a problem. If they were in a situation where they didn't have a way to expand outside of say, Burundi, that would be a problem, but the US is 25% of the global economy.

I’m not a ham but I totally agree with the old guard on rejecting digital. MAKING your own equipment is an essential aspect of why amateur radio is worth preserving — it makes the network very resilient. In a world where digital electronics

The Count of Monte Cristo is worth doing the audiobook for. Absolute masterpiece. "Rebecca" is another one.

Exactly. Git for Word doesn't make sense because software applications can be edited independently because of abstractions -- you can't have different people changing different parts of a Word document without ANY idea of what eac

Are they wrong? Why does a modern person living in Egypt have any more claim to something like Imhotep’s toothbrush any more than anyone else? Just by possession of the land where it was left? I don’t believe in real estate staking an owner

Can anyone summarize this in a more accessible way?

You're right, the war has been going on for decades, and the US is losing. It's not being fought with bombs, but China's goals are no less ambitious than your famous super-belligerents of world history.

I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that we are at the beginning of a war and we have a Commander-in-Chief who lacks the intellect, attention span, or perhaps even work ethic required just to utter a coherent sentence.

Sure sure, 5D chess, and the verbal nonsense oozing out of him on camera and on Twitter has no relevance to his 250-step master plan. Yep yep yep I’m waiting with bated breath, what I think is most important is making sure he figures out ju

Rapidly becoming an issue? The US has been ignoring China’s burgeoning power for 50 years and allowed US CEOs to get gazillion dollar payouts by shipping American manufacturing jobs to China. That doesn’t change the fact that 1) an isolated

Yes, China vs. the US is 50 years in the making, but Trump’s interest in the issue is 0% policy, 100% politics.

I think that with court proceedings and media stunts TikTok can run out the clock to November 5th at which point the cat will forget about this ball of yarn and go off in search of some other laser pointer.

Trump is down 10+ points in the polls. That’s what this is about and TikTok only needs to run out the clock to the 2nd week of November at which point this whole thing will go away for them.

Have to strongly disagree here... they were the best touch and feel for the typing speeds of those days, but that kind of touch would not be suitable for today’s 100+ wpm.

If you’re doing corporate taxes by hand you’re probably paying more than an accountant could have you get away with.

That’s because it’s the hardest thing to grok. I have two electrical engineering degrees from a highly regarded university and still don’t.

This sounds like a forced exit. For the founder and CEO and basic Messiah of the company to leave with 0 days notice, and for the incoming CEO to be sending the notice, sounds like someone got their email terminated and walked off the pro

You can't be an island of radical transparency. It has to be an organizational thing, and even then you'd be well advised to not act that way with your spouse or at a retail store.

That's why Zappos doesn't compete on price, I've never seen a shoe there listed at anything but MSRP. I still buy all my shoes there because I'm very picky about fit, so I order several pairs, wear them around the house,

Doesn’t the retired pros team beat everyone? Or are they super old. My perception was that the professionals are in a completely different galaxy than even top amateurs, unless you were on the cusp of playing in the NHL yourself.

I could have moved into a 10,000 square foot house in Utah but wouldn’t want to normalize that for my kids. Why not just a regular family suburb somewhere? You don’t have to go all the way to the city life to get neighbors with kids.

I'm not a fan of the product but at least this isn't a company built on labor exploitation or fucking up some existing ecosystem.

Yes, basically stocks are very high considering that economic collapse is a likelier possibility than it has been in a while. So companies that were trying to pick the right time to IPO are filing now to get that green in the bank before th
