TWC is a cable company, yet another federally granted class of business that has right of way access. Being a telcom includes a lot of regulation baggage. I doubt Google Fiber is a telcom. Google Fiber is an ISP, which is not recognized as a class of business with right of way access.
Failure can be acceptable as long as you can recover from it in a timely fashion. Nothing is perfect, but you do need to make sure all of your bases are covered.
When you read something like "we'll lay a conduit packed full of fiber and another next to it", you assume "another" means "another with fiber" just like the first one.
SHA1 is no longer considered secure is should be immediately moved off of. It's not MD5 bad, but there have been proofs of concepts and theoretical attacks that are claiming to be able to break any key for a $250k of cloud compute time.
His point was you can't even get out of bed without effort. The barrier to entry to crack WEP is with the same difficulty of installing Chrome and even less difficulty than installing Wireshark. That's their point. I have not even tried to research this topic other than "it's easy" according to researchers.
Internet is not telcom. If it was, net neutrality wouldn't even be talked about. We could spin this the other way. Since AT&T uses poles for their internet services, those internet services should fall under telcom regulations.
Poles are typically located in right of ways. Even if privately owned, they're still heavily regulated because they're on public or even 3rd-party private land.
Federal law states that Telcoms have access to poles(right of way), but Google Fiber is not a telcom. It's up to state or local laws to include Google Fiber as a class of business that has access to the poles. No, not anyone has access to poles.
Let me know how your Linux ISO with no ZFS handles booting from ZFS without modifying the ISO. As soon as something doesn't work out of the box, it's broken. Decide to upgrade and ZFS somehow breaks, now your system is fubar.
When you receive software under the GPL you expect to have these freedoms. When software with multiple licenses is combined, users have to become lawyers to know what rights they actually have and whether these freedoms are protected.
You already have to be a lawyer to understand the GPL. If it's more than a small paragraph long, it's too long.
Around here, your kids can't drop out. If your child isn't going to an accredited school, you can get fined and or jailed. You also take 100% responsibility for your child so long as they live under your roof and have not graduated, regardless of age or income.
Physics has changed a lot? Best tell Newton. Last I checked, a lot of core physics has remained mostly unchanged for centuries, only refinements to extreme situations.
The thought process to CS has not changed in decades. If you think a lot has changed, it's because you can't see the fundamental underlying patterns. There are still best seller programming books that date from the 60s that are just as relevant now. All of the hard problems have been solved, it's just a matter of tweaking what already exists to best fit what the current major issues are.
"98%: secure is only useful when you're special snowflake and a hacker must spend time figuring out your system. If you're 98% secure and your system is identical to hundreds of others, you will just be caught in a net instead of harpooned.
Highly regulated monopolies are even worse. All you get is sub-par results and a private monopoly that claims they have no obligation to deliver. At least the government have to give an excuse.
A few years back, when 100Gb and 400Gb was being talked about, someone asked Level 3 about their plans to use this tech to increase their bandwidth. Level 3 responded with something like "We have plenty of fiber, we'll just light up 40 10Gb links". Level 3 also mentioned that if they needed to trench a single fiber, they'd trench two conduits packed full of fiber. If they needed a conduit of fiber, they'd lay another 7 conduits next to it. Most of their fiber is dark.
adding statistical error to what should be a deterministic calculation
Atomic vibrations when nearing absolute zero, are caused by non-deterministic quantum fluctuations, which are statistical in nature. Modern atomic clocks are getting so stable that two clocks right next to each other disagree because they experience different amounts of gravity. They're working on some new clocks that should allow the accuracy and precision to give accurate millimeter precision to GPS. That is the epitome of "stable".
Exactly what is wrong with opensource right now. So much crap. Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's not crap. Please, please. Don't just start your own code unless you know what you're doing.

This lava will freeze you instantly!
I just got a new car, it was used. "New" is quite flexible.
When you read something like "we'll lay a conduit packed full of fiber and another next to it", you assume "another" means "another with fiber" just like the first one.
Leap millennial will fix that.

SSL with outdated ciphers can leak your private keys. Sometimes something is worse than nothing.

Knowledge is temporary, education is forever. If your education gets "dated", then it's not education.

I'm just repeating facts. I could be missing some important context like "empty conduit".

The balls are highly enriched, consisting of 99.9995% silicon-28 with a minimum of the other isotopes found in natural-abundance silicon.
