Which is completely correct if and only if you ignore any other cables owned by these companies, such as Marea. Which, by the way, is currently the fastest undersea cable in the World at 200 Tbps. This cable is operated by Telxius (part of Telefonica) and co-owned by Telxius, Facebook and Microsoft.
So yes, other than the fastest undersea cable in the World, your (atm) +4 insightful comment is completely correct.
Most people will never need more than 16GB of RAM to play video games Sounds familiar to me. No comments, other than the famous "640K ought to be enough for anybody." is often attributed erroneously to Bill Gates.
With 256GB of RAM, you could run advanced AI processes or lease computing power to other people.. Of course, because both tasks are memory-bound, and not compute-bound/sarcasm.
grounding all Boeing 737 MAX aircraft on March 13, citing new data
New data my ass. The planes have been grounded because all the countries worldwide were banning them, including China and the whole EU. Grounding them from the very first moment would have been much more sensible from Boeing.
The article argues that the low latency of 5G networks allows for streaming of games. This model computes and renders in the data center, and streams the video back to the client. Low latency is required to avoid lag.
In my case, most of the time I connect to WiFi networks. Latency on WiFi is typically very low. Speed is fast and most variability comes from MAC and retransmission due to collisions. Current WiFi generations rely on distributed medium access control protocols, but their delay is very low (some parameters, such as DIFS and SIFS, are in the range of tens of us). Forthcoming WiFi 6 will employ a centralised medium access control mechanism (managed by the AP, similar to current LTE designs). The connection to the ISP after the WiFi network (often, DocSIS or GPON when using home connections) also presents a very high speed and low variability due to MAC). Latency IS low nowadays, before 5G.
But these types of services (game streaming, remote surgery,...) are being announced these days related to 5G.
Serious question: is there something in 5G technology that makes its latency inherently lower than current (and forthcoming) WiFi networks connected to wired broadband? I have not found actual data, other than marketing hype.
Probably the people listening to cassette music are the same people adding Clippy to their business card. People who never suffered them, and who don't really care about their performance, but only they are vintage or funny.
The results from experiments with a random selection of 2000 people cannot be extrapolated to a hypothetical situation of Universal Basic Income. Job dynamics when everybody has a guaranteed source of income would be... interesting.
I am slightly involved in RISC-V development. At the moment there exist a total of zero RISC-V multicore open designs that work. And by "that work" I mean to be at least capable to boot the OS. It will be competitive in a couple of years, there is a huge community pushing for it, but nowadays it is not ready for prime time.
... to intensify the development of domestic IT equipment. The European Processor Initiative is one step in such direction. These messages from Trump's administration only reinforce such idea.
Pushing a button in a screenless device does not show the current price of the item you pretend to buy, which may differ from the price it used to be when you acquired the button. And if you do not have elephant memory, you do not even remember the original price.
OpenSPARC cores have been used in the OpenPiton project from Princeton, building a scalable system (at least, more scalable than the crossbar-based T1) with their own memory subsystem.
And you know what? Last week they launched a new version of the project, replacing the OpenSPARC cores with the Ariane RISC-V core from PULP (ETH).
If MIPS launches their own open-source cores, no doubt somebody will implement them in their project. But they would need to be really good (in performance, MIPS/W or some other relevant metric) to beat the current momentum of RISC-V. I don't think it will happen.
Finally, MIPS and RISC-V ISAs are very similar to each other (except atomics and extensions), so if they open-source a really good core, maybe someone adapts the instruction decoder to understand RISC-V. Regards, I doubt 2019 will be the year of MIPS.
You are probably not aware of how video streaming works nowadays, and you should read about adaptive bitrate streaming.
TLDR, nowadays content providers encode each video at different resolutions and quality levels (and bitrates), each with a different level of "sharpness", and the client selects the one that best fits its available network bandwidth.
This means that playing the same video several times may result in different quality each time. This also implies that the quality of the video you receive may be altered by your neighbor playing netflix (in the same Wifi channel), or your girlfriend passing between the AP and your receiver (reducing the signal level; both of them cause the AP to modify the modulation and coding scheme, reduce the available network bandwidth and may reduce the bitrate (read: "sharpness") of the following piece of video.
Also, please note that "youtube quality" is a nonsense, since Youtube delivers video with different quality levels (in some cases, up to native 4K).

Somebody should have written their MAC addresses down before rocket launch... ^_^'
Facebook knows how you want everyone to see you.
Google knows what you really desire.
Obviously, I pretended to write cryptographically signed, damn autocorrector!
I though blockchain was a photographically signed database.
Apart from that, I completely agree with this.

That was the exact same point I stopped using Evernote. Time to find an alternative cloud storage.
Thanks, but these tricks are orthogonal to network technology. They work the same on ADSL or 3G, isn't it?
My question is about the actual values of WiFi Vs 5G, not means to mitigate such latency.

Thanks in advance for any answer!
When there are so many issues that you have to prioritize them, maybe it's time to start looking at other brands that fit your needs.
I had music on multiple cassettes, and I enjoyed it a lot, and very often, despite suffering the poor quality of the physical format.
Probably the people listening to cassette music are the same people adding Clippy to their business card. People who never suffered them, and who don't really care about their performance, but only they are vintage or funny.
"SpaceX launches spacecraft to the Moon for Israel". FTFY
Wow! People are focusing on the minimalist UI, and they didn't notice it will integrate a crypto wallet. At last!
Stretched VLANs are one example of a hot buzzword that can make your geographically distributed infrastructure become a single failure domain.

Seems like a fair ruling to me.
This!

The survey asks for a healthy environment. If the answer is negative, is it necessarily 'unhealthy'? Or could it be 'not healthy', i.e. neutral?
