Saw an Arista presentation about the increase in SFP capacity, it's Moore law style stuff. Arm based kit has a shockingly efficient amount of streams-per-watt too. I can't see traditional DVB/ATSC surviging much beyond 2040 e

Not through a single system, the advantage of diversity rather than winner-takes-all. The world cup final itself (and other major events) is distributed from the host broadcaster to either on site at the IBC or at major exchange points. Whe

If a company is paying $1 to advertise to you, they are making more than $1 from you in profit You pay for it anyway. The ones that really pay are the ones who think they are immune to the brainwashing of a trillion dollar industry.

Lead piping still far too common in the UK. https://www.ft.com/content/7107f067-43d5-4030-afbc-123da2313... My boomer neighbours laugh it off - "never did me any harm".

Case in point, SEA-ME-WE-3 launched with a capacity of 20gbit back in 2000. Today it's been upgraded to 4600 gbit, a 200 fold increase.

Some claim that people are just as effective, or more effective, working at home. Others claim the same but from the office. Clearly if it was possible to measure effectiveness unambiguously this wouldn't be a debate.

OK, so rather than giving $50m to the government they give $100m to charity? On the surface this seems reasonable. Give $50k gift to your local wildlife sancturary for example, and get invited to the annual fundraising meal. Looks like the

Housing is the cause of 90% of the problems in the west, and that's driven by democratic policies to restrict the supply, not by capitalism.

I'm just so relieved that Disney didn't buy Star Trek. Was slightly concerned by an offhand remark from the Doctor in the most recent Doctor Who series who made an off-hand comment about dropping in on the Star Trek people.

Meetings tend to start at most at quarter-hour intervales, or about 1/100th of a day. If everyone used swatch times meetings would tend to start at intervals of 20, or maybe tens. Your meeting would start at @580 and last until @600 ra

OK, you're in LA. You finish work at 2300 on Monday. You have plans to go to the theatre on Tuesday after work. Is that 0100 on Tuesday (after finishing at 2300 on Monday) or 0100 on Wednesday (after finishing at 2300 on Tuesday)
