I've had great experience with Spectrum on both the TWC and Charter sides! 100 Mbps down, and solid. That said, it never rains where I live, maybe that is why it seems better than Comcast where I used to live with thunderstorms, etc.
To be clear, every ISP blocks multicast transport between Internet AS's except in a very few special circumstances, and typically it is not routed within networks as well. It isn't that you can't bill for it, it is the inherent danger of multicast, and also multicast routing doesn't scale well.
Some end-user ISPs are considering using highly controlled multicast ABR to efficiently deliver live content to their own subscribers, but it is unlikely that multicast will ever be distributed across the Internet.
Multicast can be used to efficiently deliver popular non-live content as well (for example, see this paper).
I've recently acquired a car with radar-adaptive cruise control.
I love it, but I realize that now that the "physics problem" of not hitting the car in front of me is taken care of, I realize how much I concentrate on the "psychological problem" of what those nuts out there are thinking about doing. Is he really going to cut across all those lanes of traffic? Is she just going to start walking across the road?
Many dismantled reactor vessels have been moved to Hanford. Spent nuclear fuel is a different story, there is no place to store that in the US except in pools and dry store on reactor sites.
About 94.6% of Cesium-137 decays by beta emission to a metastable nuclear isomer of barium: barium-137m (137mBa, Ba-137m). The remainder directly populates the ground state of barium-137, which is stable. Ba-137m has a half-life of about 153 seconds, and is responsible for all of the emissions of gamma rays in samples of caesium-137. 85.1% of metastable barium then decays to ground state by emission of gamma rays having energy 0.6617 MeV.
that's the point of insurance. You rake in a huge pool of cash from both the healthy and unhealthy to cover the costs.
Let's be precise, the point of insurance is to provide protection against unexpected events by pooling risk. Insurance is not expected to provide protection against expected events.
For example, contraception should not be paid for by insurance because you know if you don't want kids, that is not unexpected.
Sounds like a third world undeveloped nation, where the government can't afford to run hospitals.
Government pays for 50% of health care costs in the US. That is about $1.1 trillion dollars. Medicaid and CHIP cover the most poor 20% of Americans. Medicare covers the oldest 15% of Americans. Everyone else has to pay for themselves.
Just wait until the left gets their way in allowing student loans to be discharged in bankruptcy, then the standards for student loans will tighten up real quick in a spectacular backfire.
What standards? Most US Federal student loans made to students directly (Stafford and Perkins loans). These loans are made regardless of credit history (most students have no credit history); approval is automatic if the student meets program requirements. $1.3 billion of US federal student loans are owed.
Do you think that the same government that would make student loans dischargeable would step up requirements for government loans? No, they'd just go all the way to making college free.
Meanwhile, China has 20 new nuclear power plants under construction, and more about to start construction.
Of Chinese nuclear plants, almost 70% (865 GWe) was built within the last decade, whereas in the United States half of the fleet (580 GWe) was over 30 years old.
Longer-term, fast neutron reactors (FNRs) are seen as the main technology for China, and CNNC expects the FNR to become predominant by mid-century. A 65 MWt fast neutron reactor - the Chinese Experimental Fast Reactor (CEFR) - near Beijing achieved criticality in July 2010. Based on this, a 600 MWe pre-conceptual design was developed, the CFR600 began construction in December 2017 at Xiapu in Fujian province, and commissioning is expected in 2023.
The way I feel about the process is that if you screen resumes well, do a good phone screening, then in person interviews with three or four people, then another interview with someone more senior and you still can't make-up your mind then the problem is with your process, not the candidate. It shouldn't take six months of waffling to make a decision.
Gee, maybe Google should use Google Hangouts for interviewing?
So I found out about the battery health checker, and my was ay 87%, BUT the health reported that the iPhone shut down at some point because of lack of battery current (probably when I was abusing it), so I unchecked the box that slows it down!
But after 1828, when Friedrich WÃhler first synthesized Urea (an organic molecule), it was realized that the carbon molecules labelled "organic" could also be created by non-biological means.
Urea! I just synthesized Urea! And suddenly that compound Will never be the same To me Urea!
The governement was already not forbidding you. They were forcing your doctor to consult with the scientists running studies to make sure you were getting the best dose.
Currently US doctors cannot legally discuss or prescribe non-FDA approved drugs, such as Domperidone, which is legally available in 58 other countries, in some cases over-the-counter. (It is true that recently there was an FDA Investigational New Drug application for Domperidone, but good luck getting your doctor to properly interface with that program).

These things are a community's right to determine.
The Federal Government has the power to regulate things related to interstate commerce, so no. Down with NIBYism destroying our infrastructure!

[FWIW I was involved in a multicast ABR trial]

If you have a healthy lifestyle, this data could lower your rates.
The question is whether being a lazy slob is a pre-existing condition...
Major network broadcasters do a great job of managing consistent commercial/program loudness.
Non-network broadcasters, small cable channels, and OTT services do not.
You are right, $1.3 TRILLION
What if the US is a Dreamer's "home country", even if it wasn't the country they happened to be born in?

thank goodness in America we have a legal system that does not allow responsibility for crimes or wrongs to be passed on from the parent to a child.
Uh, what about "Dreamers"?

It is kind of sad that my iPhone 6 is now slower than the iPhone 1...I hope this gets sorted out.
Oh man, think about the cheap 3D printers!
