NASA is using 3D printers to create monoframe parts that are lighter and stronger than anything they can build with any other tools at their disposal. There are things that literally cannot be created using any other current tech than 3D printers.
They have already broken causality a bit at the quantum level. They've entangled photons, sent one photon through a polarization filter, making sure that photon was a specific polarization, then sent the other through a slit, such that it they knew it was still quantum, then sent the other photon that already had a know polarization through the opposite polarization filter, and it passed through.
Or something along these lines. The conclusion was the photon had its past changed because it is impossible to change its polarization once it's set. Changing the polarization would mean changing the information, which means you no longer have the same photon, yet they knew it was the same photon because the entanglement was still valid.
The crazy part is the past didn't change relative to us, only the photon. Yay, interweaving timelines of different multi-verses. I have no idea. The scientists were kind of shocked also and were not entirely sure how to interpret it. I guess future experiments will help isolate what's going on.
Storage and addressing are in bytes, transmissions are in bits, except in the case where the transmitter is specifically designed to work with bytes. Most network equipment work at the bit level.
In most fiber roll outs, the cdwm splitters/combiners are back at the CO behind a patch panel. The actual fiber from the customer to the CO is unshared. Google fiber is a bit different, they have dedicated back to the "fiber hut", which acts as an aggregation point.
The chassis is around $1,200, but I can get a chassis with a 2tb/s back plane for around $2k that supports up to 144 1gb Ethernet ports, but the line cards get you. When I looked up pricing for ZyXEL VDSL2 line cards, I was seeing "new" prices of over $5.5k for 48 ports from many retailers. That's about $100 per port, so about on-par with 1gb fiber. The 1gb DSL will probably be a lot more expensive. You can probably get used VDSL2 line cards for your $900 price, but you're not going to have that benefit with the new 1gb DSL.
The bigger issue is the range. the 1gb DSL only has a 100m-200m effective range. 250m is the best and will rarely happen. DSL also consumes a lot more power, almost a magnitude more when you include everything.
The other issue is the uplink ports. I can get a 1gb fiber port with a 20km range that uses 0.5watts max for about $100 on my switch at home. 10gb ports, start around $2k for 100m stretches, and get up to $5k quickly when you need distances in km units. These DSL boxes with 1gb ports are going to need 10gb uplinks if they want to even remotely handle the rates they claim. I bet you're going to be looking at $10k for a line card and $5k for the uplinks. That's already $15k.
I'm just listing what my insurance does. Prior to this change, they covered your children until a hard cut off of 27. Once the Obama change came out, they changed it to 26, but will continue to cover as long as they stay in college or active duty. I assumed it was part of Obama Care to continuously cover your children, but I guess not?
For the same price of one of those boxes that can supply "dozens" of houses with 1gb DSL, you could get a fiber box that supports thousands of houses with 1gb/1gb fiber, uses less power, and is all located in the CO, instead of out in the field.
My ISP went from 7 racks of DSL equipment in the CO plus cabinets in the field to 1/2 rack of fiber equipment with NOTHING in the field.
Because you don't want to be sending someone to the same apartment every month, each time someone wants to upgrade. Why would I want to buy 1lb of peanuts for $3 when I can purchase 2oz for $1? It's not like I'm going to eat a pound of peanuts right now.
You need to think further out than the immediate if you want to make good long term decisions.
So all they need to do is park a $30k box within 100m-200m of the customer, and they have to power, cool, and maintain batteries in this box. Sounds like a great idea. Why would anyone want to use a $100 fiber port with a 40km-80km range and is back in a central datacenter, when they could spend $500+/port for a 100m-200m range and installed out in the field?!
"Normal" people are why we have security issues in the first place. So many bad design out there. Back in the "glory days" anyone could program, yeah, because few systems had databases full of all kinds of information about many different people with public network access.
In more modern times, systems are hooked up to the Internet and need to be properly designed to not have security holes that can be easily probed by bot nets. Security is now more important than functionality. Better to have something not work than to have a few million names, SSNs, and addresses leaked on the Internet.
On the other hand, I don't want to be stuck doing boring things, so we need normal people who are good enough, and we can't scare them away.
Uni is nothing like High School. Very little homework, lots of discussions. Heavily emphasizes critical thinking. Few quizzes and what tests you have, they tend to be mostly written and focus on understanding. For me, it was the complete opposite of High School. At $1,500/sem, free book rental, and a 20 year 100% post graduate hiring rate, it was hard to turn down. It took me a whole 3 months to find a local job in my profession during the recession. I was getting spammed with offers from quite high paying jobs and full benefits from all over the country.
The average starting wage for my major withing 6 months of graduation was $80k+benefits, and that's with a 100% hiring rate within those 6 months. That's really hard to turn down when it only costs you 4 years and $3k/year.
Colleges and universities are far from the only sources of information, especially in the information age.
There is a lot of bad information out there when it comes to programming or examples. Quite a bit in high profile open source projects. The most important thing I learned at my Uni was how to use critical thinking to help identify bad information. Uni classes involved a lot of analysis and you'd get to hear other people's ideas.
At least in my experience, going to a Uni was a very unique way to sharpen my ability to analyze information presented to me, primarily by learning from other people who are different than me, how they think.
Without being in the same room and having a moderator(teacher in this case), I don't see how anyone could get this same experience. You need to surround your self with people who are NOT like you and you need to have discussion on topics that you are NOT familiar with. Situations most people rarely willingly place themselves in.
"At least" 26, as long as they don't get insurance via some other method or get married. According to my new insurance info, they now support your children perpetually, so long as they stay in college or if they get stuck in Active Duty of the military while they're covered. Once you're past 26 and lose coverage, you can never get it back though.
It's also nice that they got rid of some stuff like life time limits.

Not to degrade your analogy, but if you get mail in your mailbox and it doesn't have your name or an exception like "or current resident", it's a federal crime to open it. I could get prison time for opening mail that is addressed to only my wife.

Heartbeat support is optional and negotiated. I don't know why you think it 'must' be supported.
The OpenBSD people do not believe in "work arounds". Their answer to an OS not properly doing something is "fix the OS". As it should be.

20ms? That's pretty good. My mom had a 80ms ping to her first hop, during off hours. At peak hours, it was near 100ms.
