I thought they addressed that by saying something like it seems to be directly related to the amount of contact. Men in a heterosexual relationship, I assume, get less contact. I some cases, where the man is the primary care taker, it's pretty much the same as the homosexual couple.
Compare the number of creationists in math heavy sciences to the number of atheists. Then compare their their up-bringing. I'd wager that the more logical someone is, the more likely they are to be non-creationist, regardless of their parents beliefs.
Because people with low IQs tend to procreate much more than those with higher IQs, people of certain beliefs that are correlated with lower IQs are more likely to exist. A smarter person removing themselves from the gene pool by not procreating can affect beliefs.
And I back this up with absolutely nothing more than a lot of assumptions.
Well, less quickly anyway. From what I've read, a GRB would probably ionize the atmosphere, turning air into a poison to humans and many other creatures. If 50% of the atmosphere became poison, I'm sure it wouldn't take too long. The ozone would be gone. Probably kill the rest of humanity in the next 12 hours.
All kinds of people have trouble with PHP, they just don't realize it. It lulls you into a false sense of security by not throwing errors or warnings with its ultra-lax dynamic typing. PHP is like silly-putty, you can quickly make any shape you want, but thinking you've built something that you understand it is just fooling yourself.
This happens with everything, yes even Google Fiber. Look up GPON to find out how it works. Everyone on a segment is sharing a 1 gbit laser.
Google Fiber uses WDM-PON, which is supports 32 lambdas at 1.25gb/1.25gb each, for a total of 40gb. Google Fiber has 32 customers per fiber, each with their own SEPERATE 1.25gb/1.25gb of bandwidth to the multi-terabit chassis.
It is by every definition of the word, "dedicated" bandwidth.
Not to mention unethical. It's already been shown that even thinking you're being observed has a negative impact on mental health. Psychologists are saying that public knowledge of active spying of everyone creates a mental cost.
Privacy is considered a basic human need. You don't need it everywhere in life, but people should feel safe in their own homes when communicating with friends and family.
The customer base that cares about getting more than 20mb/s from an old router will eventually upgrade their router and will be nearly forced to have IPv6 support. That's my point.
I'm not sure I'm too worried that people who pay $150/month for the fastest internet package don't realize they're only getting a fraction of their speed. Kind of like purchasing a Prius and not noticing you're only getting 10mpg.
If you want absolutely guaranteed bandwidth, go buy it.
That's the only option my ISP offers all customer. Every data plan my ISP offers, guarantees bandwidth. And my bill is less than what I had with Charter. Stop spreading FUD about "guaranteed bandwidth" being expensive, it's damn cheap.
You do realize that if you get a 1gb Internet connection, you're going to need to upgrade your router and then it will support IPv6. You're going to have a hard time finding a retail grade router that supports 1gb WAN-LAN while not having IPv6 support. I'm not sure if there is one.
A single DOCSIS segment can support a maximum of around 160, but I hear the recommendation is about 64 and soon 32 for the 3.1 if you want 1gb. Several segments can share the same node and a node can support upwards of 5,000 people. A node typically has 1-2 10gb uplinks, giving the max 5,000 people around 2mb/s-4mb/s each.
Google Fiber on the other hand, does not have a "middle mile" of nodes. It was described as "you plug directly into the core router". Based on blogs and interviews with Google Fiber engineers, it seems each customer gets a dedicated fiber from their house to a fiber hut, where they splice up to 32 customer together into the same fiber, but uses WDM-PON to give each customer 1.25gb/1.25gb to a fiber consolidator at the CA. The consolidator can handle between 400 and 500 customers and has 400gb-500gb of uplink.
This means Google Fiber gives each customer dedicated bandwidth directly into their core, all the while costing less than DOCSIS.
Google Fiber
s design is actually very close to the recommend design that I've read for a GPON deployment. The only real difference is that Google used WDM-PON, which technically was not ratified yet. But following industry standard fora fiber deployment to give dedicated bandwidth into the core, it costs about $2k-$3k per customer to install the fiber. Comcast, on the other hand, spend $10k/customer configuring the above DOCSIS design. DOCSIS is about 5x more expensive and a few magnitudes slower when it comes to sustained bandwidth.
It comes down to this.
DOCSIS: $10k and 4mb/s per customer
Fiber: $2.5k and 1gb per customer
That's just the up-front cost different. Fiber is about 20% cheaper to operate and operations consume about 60% of an ISP's revenue. That's like converting 12% of your revenue directly into net profit.
Forgot to mention, that $10k/customer was to UPGRADE from DOCSIS2 to DOCSIS3. The $2.5k/customer for fiber was if you were installing a brand-new network with absolutely no existing infrastructure.
Enjoy your overpriced crap. It's like paying $1k to upgrade a 586 to 100mhz and 32MB of memory when you can just purchase a Raspberry Pi for $40. Cheaper and faster.
The only believable reason Comcast sticks with DOCSIS is that they would have to retool and retrain their entire work force, while also changing up their distribution system. Most fiber deployments use IPTV, which Comcast does not. Comcast is so entrenched with old crap that they have a logistics and planning issue. They'd almost be better abandoning their DOCSIS and just starting over. Fiber is not a drop in replacement for TV distribution, it's a whole new way to manage TV. While it would be fine for Internet users, Comcast has a lot of TV users. If they just went IPTV in the first place, it would have been relatively simple.
I may be missing something, but if you have a circular log and the head meets the tail, how can you not start fragmenting to fill the holes in the log? My understanding of circular logs is you just start writing over the oldest data, which you cannot do with permanent storage.
Tracking 4KB blocks wouldn't be that bad for meta data. Like you said, assume 48bit pointers, then some extra metadata, so 64bit, which is 8 bytes. 1GB is 262,144 4KB blocks, which is only about 2MB of metadata per 1GB, which is only 0.2% overhead. They over-provision something like 10%-30% just for wear leveling.

Monopolies aren't illegal, but abusing monopolistic powers is, and you DO NOT have to be a monopoly to have monopolistic powers. Just look at Google, they had a 60% market share and was losing market share for several years when they got fined for abusing monopolistic powers.
If you made software that was advertised like "Use this application to remotely take down any Amazon EC2 instance", you may run into trouble from Amazon when people start using that tool to DOS their customers. All you need to do is show intent and damages, you're good to go. It's a civil issue, not a criminal one.
There's some pretty cool theoretical math on making an RTS where data isn't shared until it needs to be, but no one has been able to properly implement it yet. The problem comes down to trusting the client.
Actually, they are variable length for TCP, and you must pad the TCP header to a 32bit boundary if you decide to add extra fields.
Options (Variable 0–320 bits, divisible by 32): The length of this [header] field is determined by the data offset field.
IPv4 also has a variable header
The second field (4 bits) is the Internet Header Length (IHL), which is the number of 32-bit words in the header. Since an IPv4 header may contain a variable number of options, this field specifies the size of the header
IPv6 actually has a fixed header, but it can have a reference to data to extend the header, but that "extended" information is not part of the actual header.

I wouldn't blame TV for anything except "educating" idiots. People of an acceptable intelligence will not be affected by TV.

Better than that, rolling fiber is profitable after 3-5 years, and in more optimal areas like a high density suburb, 2 years.
MPG figures should reflect real world situations, not contrived situations.
