Latency is often better than Cable ISPs and DSL (even with VDSL2 or Fastpath) on a WISP, and can easily compete with Fiber in terms of latency (wireless has less latency than optical glass), but where it falls down is in suburbia, where the

Sure, many old people feel a deep connection to their place of abode, but often it would make much more sense for them to relocate within their community, or move to where their friends are moving. I've seen this scenario play out many

If they are older, and aren't white & male, they likely have a long, potentially multi-year search ahead of them to find employment. Especially if they specialized in the operations of Eversource's software, and not in softwar

Sounds like you had a very rare experience with a few H1B immigrants, but I would hold off on making a broader conclusion about a vast country like Russia, each state sized entity is a country unto itself, similar to our states. Education v

Most people are on fixed incomes, full stop. If you are in a home that you can't afford the taxes on, you should sell said home. Anything else is how you end up with 60 thru 90 year olds living in housing that was never designed for th

I can attest to this experience on Centurylink gigabit trying to stream Comcast's Xfinity Go, or streaming Netflix while on Comcast before they made the backroom peering deal. In the evenings, they would either run at the lowest qualit

Your going to be competing with Vehicles or Pedestrians one way or the other, I highly doubt any city is going to blow tens of billions on a grade separated autonomous delivery thoroughfare. Most cities are barely willing to put paint down

This will pan out great, whoever has the biggest budget to go direct to doctors to push their snake oil is gonna make a ton of money!

If you have an ASN in North America you can get settlement free peering with most networks. That means all you pay for is the hardware/power cost to transport your content. Usually this is fairly unbalanced, and providers will compensa

Is this terribly surprising? Public/Private partnerships usually do not pan out unless you have competent administrators ready to fight for the best deal on your orgs behalf. I do wish we could eject people who actively want to destroy

Lol, it can be an hour or more depending on traffic to go to Walmart from Seattle, and your choices are either going far north, or far south. I only ever find myself there when I need a cable modem at 2am, and especially then its always a t

Sure, but quite a few employees are at Mozilla for significant periods of time, and (theoretically) Mozilla doesn't have free reign to run the non-profit into the ground by letting marketshare continue to slip away. Another perspective

Its the exact same deal as with IE on Windows just a decade ago, by force bundling it, and then with Apple taking the additional step of blocking ALL competition, you get no choice. Today, I can build a SIP client for the browser and it wil

Electrolysis is here and fairly reliably working with my main XUL based extensions, but the ship for WebExtensions has sailed and I'm not gonna be on the wrong side of things (eg. Python 2 vs 3, Systemd vs "fun" init scripts)

It is a hard problem, and Mozilla has put a ton of effort into Rust, but at this point they aren't supporting any of their current extensions (XUL) and WebExtensions will not cover most use cases that XUL covered. This isn't a Pyt

I know and get that, he is an extremist that believes that the landed gentry deserve to rule over the landless serfs. I oppose that destructive policy, as it is a great way to stifle society as a whole and ensure we slide back towards the d

The journalists definitely got their facts wrong here, but they missed the overarching story. Why is Mozilla acting like a tech company/startup, and not as a non-profit here to push Firefox and other projects under their management to

Anything but, the title literally states that social mobility in Florence is very low, and that capital is more valuable than labor. Bring back the death tax at 90%!

Huh, I've had no troubles with HP AIOs running Debian Jessie, touchscreen works, so do the capacitive buttons controlling screen brightness/volume, and dual monitor works fine on everything (VGA, DVI, HDMI) except displayport.

WebRTC and many other major features are still missing from Webkit on iOS, whereas in Chrome & Firefox I can have a full WebRTC client on mobile.

Huh, I'd just get two 5gal gas cans and call that good, as I'd rather not stop off every hour to get gas at varying prices and levels of quality. Plus, in good chunks of Arizona, New Mexico and West Texas its easy to go nearly tha

Whoa whoa whoa, Silent OS is based on Android, incorporating many GPLv2 and other FLOSS software. They may have done some minor hardening & UI changes, but beyond that the value of Silent OS is the apps they have built for calling &

Definitely, as a Seattlite I'm all for it, less needles in parks, under I-5, and on the streets are good. Having users all in one place where they can be monitored, attended to and offered services much more effectively and at a lower

I'd not feel bad one bit, you are preventing Hep C, HIV and many other infections from spreading by selling needles. There are already 3 million Hep C infected people in the US, despite it being a curable disease now :(
