Much of the internet is reached by client nodes using NAT+UPNP now. CGNAT does not support UPNP, which allows transparent port forwarding. A lot of stuff will break with CGNAT.
Level 3 "poor peering". LAWL. Troll. Level 3 has a "no congestion" rule. Level 3 was offering to pay Comcast for the hardware to install almost 300gb/s of bandwidth and Level 3 was also willing to do cold-potato routing. Comcast refused.
That's right, Comcast refused 300gb of free bandwidth from the largest transit provider in the world, which also is the highest quality. Why? To spite Netflix.
Exactly. Once you get past 10gb, QoS is more expensive than raw bandwidth. QoS can be useful on 1gb lines and internal to an ISP for a little while, but QoS does not scale to the high speeds of next gen bandwidth.
Amazon is actually closer to 0% of their bandwidth. Amazon is the source for all of their data, but their OpenConnect CDNs host up 99% of their actual bandwidth.
Troll? Cell towers have no issues on the last mile. Fixed line Internet is a "natural monopoly" the same way the road my house connects to is a "natural monopoly". There's only so much room, just enough for 1 and sometimes 2.
And operational costs of an ISP are about 60% of their gross revenue, and going fiber reduces that by about 20%. Assuming a 10% net profit on current prices, going fiber would raise them to about 22% net profit.
I think that number ignores all of the financing they pay on the debt they used for their build out. Verizon is simply not all that profitable. Their gross profits are in the 60-70% range, which gives credit to your number - but net profits bounce between positive and negative territory.
It only takes about 3 years to pay off a fiber rollout and a network the size of Verizon would save about $12bil/year in operational costs over copper(FTTN).
Netflix offers free peering. If there is congestion on a free peering link, it's not Netflix' fault.
Even now, Netflix stated at BSDCon a few weeks back that Comcast is still the bottleneck. Netflix said their servers are not anywhere near max and neither is their peering, it's Comcast that is unable to handle the data. Guess what, the customers already paid for that bandwidth, Comcast is either being malicious or grossly negligent.
The FreeBSD and PC-BSD crowd is highly against reinventing the wheel and duplication. The only time they do so is when they have a very strong argument to do so.
if anyone back then had seen this coming that clearly, they'd have just used 64 bits to start with and we'd be fine for the next thousand years.
The creator of IPv4 actually said he wanted to do 128bit, but he figured it would be hard to push for a proof-of-concept. But as soon as he showed his network to his bosses, they said "go live", without giving him the opportunity to switch to 128bit. He said he wished he just bit the bullet and used 128bit from the start and he no longer skimps on proof-of-concept designs because he doesn't want this same issue to occur.
Two different companies found and patched HearthBleed with in 1 day of each other, without any contact between the two companies. Others speculate that the two companies were investigating a security breach.
Really, what is the chance that two independent companies with no interactions manage to find the same 2 year old bug with in 24 hours of each other?
B-b-b-b-but the many eyes of open source makes all bugs shallow.
Everyone who attempted to read OpenSSL quickly lost their ability to see and they gouged out their eyes from the pain. OpenSSL is what you call obscurified code.
That only applies if there are no collusions, direct or indirect, and the worker has perfect information and perfect mobility, allowing them to work anywhere. Hi theory, meet practice.
In the real world, desperate people HAVE to take a job, even if it's not paying fairly.
Deflation seems great until a car is worth $0.01 and you have a hard time renting a movie because we can't represent values smaller than a cent, so renting a movie costs as much as purchasing a car. With digital money, we could allow for smaller fractions of a dollar, but the human brain is not good at working with lots of zeros. The alternative is to increase the money supply, which is what we're already doing. Lesser of the evils. The problem is who has control and are they printing too much?
It's stupid. get your kids out of the way when you are young. It's already proven that the genetic stock of a male sperm is severely deteriorated as you get older. best time to sire your kids is in your 20's because they are out of the house in your 40's and you get to live a great life with your spouse kid free, unless you are one of those nutjobs that has 3 or more and dont know what birth control is.
My first guess is that increased quality of life has reduced selective pressure against those with poor sperm.
The reduced parent to child time is quite detrimental to their development. There is a statistical significance in IQ, schooling, confidence, interests, and opportunities for children watched by their parents instead of day-cares. Unless the parent is a welfare stay at home type, there is a lot of good reasons to take the opportunity cost of not having two incomes, assuming it's even an option.
If you don't have legacy, then you may as well have never existed. As someone who is trying to be logical about having children or not, my view is depressing.
We are in a record low murder, abortion, teen pregnancy, and violent crimes, and that's going as far back as records go, and that includes the early 1900s for some of those statistics. We're in a much better time, we just have more FUD around us with easy access to sensational news.
That would be infeasible. There wouldn't just be one royalty, there would be a separate royalty for each separate piece of code being used. I see you're using bash, that's a royalty to the bash project. I see you're using Apache, that's a different royalty to the Apache foundation. You see where this is going.
Patches are free, but I hear that Akamai covered the cost of the few thousands dollars per cert to revoke and several thousand to get a new cert, for each of their customers. Certs aren't free and not all CA did this for free.

Link local addresses are visible to the entire broadcast domain, unless you firewall it off. Loopback will not be seen by others.

Users don't look at the source, only devs do and BSD is for the devs.

My firewall has about 30k active states. Should be interesting to see how that would affect a PAT CGNAT.

Society has simply gotten worse since the 50s.

OK, we finally installed the last of the EMP blocking grounded wire mesh. Lets call our boss and let him know... Hmm, no signal... Awww shit.
