This is one of the aspects of theoretical physics that I find fascinating. Is there a good book on this that doesn't involve an insane amount of math? (ex. similar to BHoT)

Awesome. Immediately tried to jump into DOS by running 'command' and managed to break it.

So you're directly installing DOS on the device and not using emulation?

Awesome point to make. Lots of effort being done however to preserve such art. A good example is Archive.org making classic DOS games playable in the browser via emulation: https://archive.org/details/msdos_Wolfenstein_

Moving due to the L tunnel shutdown next year, I've been asking if any other train comes nearly as often (I rarely wait more than 5 minutes). This is a very timely list, thanks!

Yes this, we were blowing through a /8 every couple months in the past, haven't checked recently but might even be faster now. The parent argument comes up in every one of these threads.

Do other devs tend to agree with the idea of full stack being a myth? "A developer who can code the front-end, back-end, API, and database isn't as absurd as it once was (excluding visual design, interaction design, and CSS). Stil

Even if individual device reception isn't possible, just using these for better backhaul access like for an office building or neighborhood would still be massively disruptive.

Also, they only have to resell ADSL by FCC requirement. However, AT&T voluntarily resells their VDSL Uverse system. I actually went with a reseller in the past because they were still offering no data caps while AT&T was.

I imagine you'll have to reduce pricing on Backblaze B2 eventually in order to stay competitive. What's it like having to flip such a massive switch where your revenue is X one minute and then X - 20% the next?

Why do you think Backblaze is able to maintain cheap unlimited support in the wake of so many other providers recently jumping ship? Amazon, SOS and now Crashplan. I've heard stories of people using Amazon to store over 1PB of data whi
