And so, if both transports are of the same velocity...
Ah, therein lies the rub.
Transports don't move. Light moves within the transport and no two transports (unless they are the same) allow light to travel at the same speeds.
Look at the speed of light in water, copper, aluminum, fiber, OTA... and appreciate that "light" is not limited to the visible spectrum.
... until a new medium that's either shorter or more dense...
Sorry. Wrong, and wrong. The medium carrying information, even if shorter, does not reduce the distance say, from New York to London. And, you went the wrong way regarding density. Light travels faster in near vacuums, which also has the property of having a non-zero value of density.
And it is impossible for light to reach the theoretical limit of, "in a vacuum." There is no vacuum. That would violate Hiesenberg's Uncertainty Principle, for one thing. For another impediment, see "quantum vacuum."
The distances among all the end-to-end points, be they game or gross margin, is a constant, and does not vary as does the speed of light in a medium, be it glass, copper, or over the air.

Rinse, repeat and the victim would freak out trying to locate their active icons.

It's not censorship from the perspective of PayPal and Stripe. It's good business. Gab doesn't make PayPal and Stripe enough money to qualify for exemption to ToS.

Well, we are getting close to Christmas (void where prohibited), so let's add municipal WiFi and fiber to the list.
Given the choice of delivery of information OTA or struggling through a non-superconductive conduit, I'd like mine airborne, please.
Nice use of buzzwords, but you could have increased the "cool points," if you'd thrown in, "blockchain."
The complete lack of anything at all would be, with certainty , a "zero point."
Armed with the new knowledge I have gifted you, go read (probably for the first time) Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.

A better question would be: What's the cumulative latency of the bucket brigade?
Light is always traveling at the speed of light.
The qualifier you're looking for is the medium.
And it is impossible for light to reach the theoretical limit of, "in a vacuum." There is no vacuum. That would violate Hiesenberg's Uncertainty Principle, for one thing. For another impediment, see "quantum vacuum."
And while holey fiber provides improvement over classical fiber, it does not provide improvement to the speed of light OTA.
The distances among all the end-to-end points, be they game or gross margin, is a constant, and does not vary as does the speed of light in a medium, be it glass, copper, or over the air.
Of those, over the air is much faster.
... in that it doesn't really matter what the method of delivery is.
... we picked up the Gemini capsules back in the day.

... it is.
There's a good reason to abandon bragging rights.
We may be in agreement but it's hard to tell.
My point was aimed at those who want to put this story under the jurisdiction of, "free speech."
It is not a free speech issue. It's a violation of contract.
... i'm not a child.
Then act like it.
Freedom of speech has one origin in law: The Constitution.
The 1st amendment protects citizens from the government.
It has no bearing whatsoever on the ToS of a business.
People who signed up for PayPal and Stripe agreed to a contract. The gabbers violated that contract.
The gabbers have no standing under Constitutional law. They do have standing under contract law, but they're screwed by way of prior agreement.
True,
And the expression, "free speech," applies only to suppression by a governing agency.
It's not censorship from the perspective of PayPal and Stripe. It's good business. Gab doesn't make PayPal and Stripe enough money to qualify for exemption to ToS.
You're missing the point.
A parallel is the Paula Dean case. She signed an agreement that, to paraphrase reads: "You fuck with our revenue stream, we will fire you."
That's precisely what happened here. Notice Gab is not filing a lawsuit. They signed the ToS that they violated.
This.
The reason things are so fucked up is because we, the consumers, are served content that we ask for.
We hate one news outlet and love the other. The providers don't give a flying rat's ass as to how we got there, they just want more of us.
There is a middle ground of sorts with PBS and NPR, but notice that we are not rushing to those sites.
America has two races: Republicans and Democrats.
Your use of "free speech," is in the wrong context.
There are no government agencies barring speech. No warrants have been issued, no court date set, and no one is in handcuffs, and no fines assessed.
The gabbers can still, at this moment, gab, so their freedom of speech has not been quashed.
So, you're attempting to color all contractors ...
Did I post the names of all contractors?
TL;DR because:
Do you not know what he did?
I'm covering the fucking story.
Please resubmit and and answer the question in a single sentence. Thanks.
Because you spent 9 years in the military and you're dismissing the Sea Bees and all of IT, right?
And most can't find decent work outside the military.
Which, by the way, what with super low unemployment, has changed just recently.
I'm seeing an increase in adverts for signing up.
I was in Uncle Sam's Yacht Club for 9 years. In 1965, the oil patch dried up here.
In 1968, it was still that way. Then, in 1974 the refineries announced preferential hire for veterans.
I bailed for that reason. I'm proud of my time of service but I don't claim to have ever done it out of patriotism.
How is he patriotic?
... say the least ...
Try that.
