After Launch Day: Taking Stock of IPv6 Adoption
darthcamaro writes "So how did World IPv6 Launch go? Surprisingly well, according to participants at the event. Google said it has seen 150% growth in IPv6 traffic, Facebook now has 27 million IPv6 users and Akamai is serving 100x more IPv6 traffic. But it's still a 'brocolli' technology. 'I've said in the past that IPv6 is a 'broccoli' technology,' Leslie Daigle, CTO of the Internet Society said. 'I still think it is a tech everybody knows it would be good if we ate more of it but nobody wants to eat it without the cheese sauce.'" Reader SmartAboutThings adds a few data points: "According to Google statistics, Romania leads the way with a 6.55% adoption rate, followed by France with 4.67%. Japan is on the third place so far with 1.57% but it seems here 'users still experience significant reliability or latency issues connecting to IPv6-enabled websites.' In the U.S. and China the users have noticed infrequent issues connecting to the new protocol, but still the adoption rate is 0.93% and 0.58%, respectively."
Here is an example Carotenoid bioavailability is higher from salads ingested with full-fat than with fat-reduced salad dressings as measured with electrochemical detection. It is basically accepted lore in the field that fat is required to absorb fat-soluble nutrients (if there were no fats, all the hydrophobic molecules would cluster together into unabsorbabably large clumps; with fats they would dissolve into them, which can then be absorbed in the intestines).
Can't say I've ever had kale. I enjoy collard greens, does that count?
Amazingly enough (getting way OT now), broccoli, kale, collard greens, cauliflower and cabbage are all the same species. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Brassica oleracea.
