There's two concessions that would grease the wheels to allow peace to happen. Either Hamas is barred from any government capacity in Palestine or Hamas recognizes Israel's right to exist. Barring either of those concessions, any cease fire will only last until something else relights the powderkeg. You cannot negotiate with a party that doesn't recognize your existence unless you have leaders in that party that can see the forest for the trees like Anwar Sadat following the Yom Kippur War who was, incidentally, assassinated by Islamic jihadists for signing peace with Israel. That peace treaty also lead to Egypt getting kicked out of the Arab league until 1989.
Israel has demonstrated in the past that it wants peace. It has removed Israeli settlers from Gaza, forceibly. It returned the entire Sinai pennisula to Egypt once the peace treaty following the Yom Kippur War was concluded. However that requires that the other party will engage honestly in negotiations that are seeking lasting peace. I cannot honestly say that will ever occur with Hamas.
The missile would be successful by the attacker's criteria. If Israel's criteria is that missiles don't land and explode in civilian centers then it is quite possible that the missile could be a success by Hamas's definition and an Iron Dome success by Israel's.
Okay, let's go with that. Netflix is throttling it's own traffic. Verizon can't control where the traffic is coming in. Netflix chooses which provider it sends out its traffic. It could engage in load balancing among multiple providers, like other CDNs, so that all it's traffic isn't going out across one provider.
Sequence of events may make it possible to identify where the missile struck the plane. If that is the case that may be able to limit the trajectories from which the missile could have approached the plane. All sides are denying culpability right now.
I'm not willing to go so far as to suggest that the same % utilization in L3 and Verizon suggests that Verizon could handle the additional traffic. First of all, it's a percentage and not an absolute number. 50% of 500 Gbps is different from 50% of 100Gbps (just used numbers that probably don't reflect actual values). So it's actually very likely that L3 is carrying drastically more traffic than Verizon. Second of all, the utilization is almost certainly network wide and has no bearing on the interconnect between Verizon and L3. 100% of the traffic they carry is not isolated to just between them. There's going to be traffic between L3 and Cogent, for example, which would be included in Cogent's figures and there's going to be traffic between Cogent and Verizon, which would be included in Verizon's figures.
In order words, the diagrams are relatively meaningless.
Netflix paid for more direct access which means directly between Netflix and Verizon rather than using an intermediary like L3. Upgrading capacity between L3 and Verizon would not satisfy such an agreement.
Verizon's diagram shows a 46-56% utilization. L3 was suggesting doubling the number of interconnects between L3 and Verizon which would jump their capacity from 40Gb to 80Gb. You're absolutely right. The effects of doubling the amount of available bandwidth on their most congested interconnect are not going to be easy to determine. There's going to be other downstream upgrades that will likely need to occur. This is why Verizon wants a settlement for upgrading.
What you're doing is using a VPN connections which has an different inbound interconnect than the one which the majority of Netflix traffic comes in on. Verizon is 100% correct. There's no throttling going on because the connection that is being "throttled" as you put it is actually at 100% utilization and congested causing dropped packets and bad performance.
And last time I looked both the US and the Netherlands were independent countries.
America is an independent country but the United States are not. Netherlands is an independent country but the Netherlands is not.
The key is that "the" is referencing a portion of country or grouping. So with the United States of America the article 'the' is reference the individual states which constitute America. The same thing applies for the Netherlands except you're dealing with an overloaded term. The Netherlands is a constituent member of the Kingdom of Netherlands which also includes Aruba, Curacao, and Sint Maarten. The Netherlands references that member country while Netherlands references the Kingdom.
That is why "the Ukraine" could be considered offensive to Ukraine. It's a phrase that is held over from the time when Ukraine was not sovereign and were constituent of the USSR.
"The" is not required when dealing with dependent territories, like Scotland, but it shouldn't be used when dealing with a sovereign and independent entity.
That won't happen. Any such tax won't be offbalanced to be revenue neutral. What will happen is that if carbon taxes are used to make fossil fuels more expensive and consequently cost as much as renewables average, then we'll see electricity prices stabilize at the cost of the most expensive option utilized. This will directly increase the cost of production of goods and materials which is further exacerbated by the % based sales tax going up as well. It's a regressive scheme because it will disprorportionately affect the lower and middle class.
That's not correct but the coincidence is even better than that. After their first failed assassination attempt of the day, the assassin moved to a restaurant that he believed would be along the Archduke's return path (it wasn't). The duke's driver went the wrong way and when the Governor saw that it was the wrong path ordered the driver to reverse and go another direction. The driver stopped the car in front of the restaurant the assassin had chosen, literally right in front of him. The assassin had to merely take two steps forward and shoot the Archduke from about 5 feet away.
Many of the bill of rights reference "the people" and their rights being protected. If you look to the preamble you can find a clue to the definition of people.
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
At the very least, the people is a US centric term representing those who ordain and form the government of the United States. Therefore "the people" can be construed to mean voters.
I had a flight from my local airport to Dallas/FtWorth which is about 750 miles. My boarding time was 8:46am with the flight taking off at 9:11am, scheduled.
It takes 30 minutes for me to drive to the airport, though I live on the opposite side of the city from where it's located. I arrived at the airport at 8:43am. Printed my boarding passes off, there, at 8:45am. I was in and through the TSA checkpoint by 8:49am. I was on the plane by 8:53am (10 minutes to board my plane). We were in the air by 9:07am for what I think was a 2 hour 20 minute flight. I got my rental car and drove to where I needed to go in Ft Worth, which was about another 30 minutes. Total time spent was about 3hrs and 40 minutes. This is a 750 mile distance.
In my time spent flying the time I've spent in a TSA line has been as low as 2 minutes and as high as 20 minutes.
Each marine carries between 97 and 135 lbs of equipmen so let's just say an average of 116 pounds. Let's say the average marine weighs 181 (I took 6'2" as the height marker and average weight between max and minimum weight for that height by their own charts). So one marine puts a load of 297 pounds. This monster is capable of carrying 1346 combat geared marines (space not-withstanding). That about an entire marine brigade.
Having helped ease my company from using very generic user accounts and passwords that everyone in the company knew to user unique logins and passwords I can provide some insight as to some of the reasons beyond security.
Part of the problem I've had with trying to break users of the habit of sharing their username/password with others (managers are the ones telling them to do this) is convincing them that 1. applications are available regardless of the logged in account and 2. if there are files or documents that legitimately need to be shared among the workgroup then they should be housed on the network drives and not on the personal network drive or local machine. Having a password policy to require password changes every 90 days is one of the ways to help encourage them to discontinue this practice. I've attempted to be diplomatic and explain why they don't need to do it, but it hasn't sunk in yet. I've talked numerous times and finally I had them just log in as themselves on another machine to prove to them that what I was saying was true. Now that group talks about the sharing of accounts and passwords more sarcastically, when the manager is not around, so there's at least some improvement.
We're starting to come under more strict auditing these days so a lot of these password and user account related changes are in order to comply with things the audit might turn up and flag as a problem (there are negative consequences if there's too many flags from the audit). Additionally, the changing of password and not sharing user accounts is not just a company security issues but an individual user security issue as well. Since we do all our logging based on user account, that's who usually gets slapped with disciplinary action if something bad happens. Regardless of that, if passwords are used on websites that are externally accessible to their home computer, they could get compromised and the data available to the Internet is available at large. A periodic password reset limits the scope of when a compromised account is a danger since if the account was compromised and they have a valid username/password it won't flag bad attempts (unless you do some sort of IP tracking). The same thing occurs internally. If a user shared their credential information with another user, because say they were on vacation, then the periodic password resets ensure that other user doesn't have valid credentials for the first user after a period of time.
I've actually gotten a lot better response from users regarding passwords when I use that latter arguement about accountability. It shifts the focus from what's good for the company to what's best for the user. It gives them a stake and enfranchises them with security and consequently they tend to be more receptive towards it as a whole. When you leave them with the impression that security is about the company, they don't care as much and will do whatever they can to make their lives easier.

No. Absolutely not. Costs should be driven by the sender of data and not the recipient.

Though after reviewing the dimensions..... 1346 marines would be a bit beyond its capability unless you're stacking them like a lincoln logs.
200 tons of marines.
