Obviously that isn't an honest comparison. If you're asking whether or not 10 small CDN providers could provide a more robust, higher quality service with more uptime than one large CDN provider, then I think the answer is probab

I view Krebs as a tabloid. It is a stopgap for layman's with slightly above average opsec knowledge. It is rather dangerous because he is wrong or misrepresents reality rather often. And there's something sensationalist about ever

I agree. One of the things the judge is going to ask both parties is if there were any attempts to resolve this issue in good faith outside of court. If you show up penniless with no lawyer, and they show up with a high end legal team to sh

Ironically while domestic companies pushed to classify their SUVs as trucks, Subaru sought to classify their Subaru Brat pickup truck as a car by putting seats in the bed to avoid the chicken tax imposed on imported trucks.

Most orbital junk flies between 7-800km above Earth and the vast majority is lower than 2,000km. The orbital graveyard is 35,000km. Assuming you are right and our biggest concern is regular space rocks, then why are these areas of especiall

I believe it is you who has a misunderstanding. Let's word this differently. Apple gives apps the ability to track and users the option to disable that feature, but they built it with dark patterns. Now they've removed the dark pa

Thank you! I also want to point out that this is normal free-market stuff. The community is obviously strong enough to leave this company practically high-and-dry, and it is also obviously strong enough to maintain it's own fork if it
