All as it should be. Reality - if they had just pulled it outside they could have had it fixed in no time.

Exactly. Totally a clickbait headline despite HN comments suggesting evolving language. This is about as far from bricked as you can get.

It's the new folks just having a wildly arrogant view of their new protocol. Ipv6 had everything and the kitchen sink thrown into it and made only token efforts at ipv4 co-existence. Plus the endless hype of ipv4 not being available. W

by temp667 6y ago
And thank goodness to! The only way these IP addresses are getting efficiently used (now) is there is an actual value and market for IPv4. AWS charges $1/month or $12/year to sit on an IP address unused. This price / value pr

You could easily 3x provision root dns (or more). I'm just pointing out that for all the complaining about google efforts to block domain jacking (which was endemic before they started their efforts) scaling the root is doable, and if

Brightstar is probably one of the major US players you could look at. Take a look at their relationship with T-Mobile - they handle the trade-in piece (and reverse logistics) which is revenue generating for T-Mobile. With experience the tra

A root is not one static machine. Google can serve 1/3 of traffic for all routes, AWS could do the same. I don't think folks realize how SMALL the root dns traffic is. Youtube / netflix / amazon prime video are just orde

by temp667 6y ago
Digging a bit more it looks like some of just the public DNS servers are doing WAY more traffic than this. Google was doing 810K qps on 8.8.8.8 alone in 2012 (8 YEARs ago). Can't they offer to operate some of the root zone then if it&#

by temp667 6y ago
I'm looking into this a bit more for some basic math. It looks like QPS is around 1.3M per second? Am I way off? What the bandwidth? I'm getting 1GBps or less which seems pretty low? If the root can't handle this how does it

by temp667 6y ago
Just let google run some of the roots - I'm serious. For all the whining about bandwidth and traffic, this issue is so small on the scale of google (which includes youtube) and netflix traffic flows it's hard to even imagine. Thei

Good for apple. The way this scam often works - you send your device in, they say there is a flaw and the device is not eligible for trade-in credit because it can't be re-used. Then they offer to "recycle" it for you. Then,

A bit of background. When humans are trading in a market with algos, some algos will beat them (ie, offer on top by a penny or two and then sell back for an extra penny to original trader). This works better if there is a large order undern

If andorid is great, then folks will pick android. That's fine and competition. Things are a lot cheaper on android to, so they win on price. The one android phone I ever purchased 1) Shipped with bloatware in the base install (!!!) 2)

You don't have to agree with apple, but they clearly think the halo effect of having just one reasonably fair app store on their platform increases their platform brand power and profits both. I think they are right. Can I ask a questi

So true. They are so busy optimizing their dark patterns they don't understand why - in the big picture - clear pricing on subscriptions, easy cancellations etc - helps the entire ecosystem and brand. It's the tragedy of the commo

The question from a principle standpoint is - can a company create an area where trust / safety / security are prioritized. T Developers no doubt disagree with this, they have created a web that is filled with crap. Let's be

Apple as an ecosystem that emphasizes trust. They believe they can charge a premium for this. Whether you think this should be "dispelled forever" is up to you - feel free to market your carriers phone however you want. The app st

Good lord, when you say someone has to go through a civil law litigation (in the US this is a nightmare) to just do a basic unsubscribe - you AGAIN demonstrate why the app store is popular. Epic doesn't allow a civil law process, they

Is it the job of the DOJ to help scammers make money? Or can anti-trust be about some type of consumer protection? Apple has carved out a small but lucrative area which is basically pretty consumer attentive. I think google assistant is way

Not that risky? This active attack is pretty easy to detect. If you fake a google cert, and chrome hits it (highly likely) game over for you.

This same approach is used in fully developed areas for things like outdoor schools for kids. Another variant in the more luxury area is boat rentals, using the heads here can result in unpleasant smells for later users even if holding tank

People who abuse the word monopoly should be educated (first offence) and mocked or shunned (repeat intentional offenders). It's almost impossible to have rational discourse these days because accurately describing things is no longer
