10Gbps is enough bandwidth for 500 concurrent Netflix streams in 4K/UHD (15Mbps) AND 500 concurrent video calls (4Mbps). Home users don’t need more bandwidth to improve their internet experiences, they need lower latency, less congesti

One of those is an absolute value (urea $) and one is a rate of change (food price inflation). Maybe I’m being dumb, but why are they tracking almost 1:1, both with linear Y axis? I can compare Urea $ to Crude Oil $ and get an even closer 5

Pedantic: the axioms of Boolean algebra don’t assign any natural numbers to the elements “top” and “bottom” of the set it operates on. The notation is usually “1” and “0” but it doesn’t have to be. It’s a convenience that many computer
