And then someone will DDoS the cellular network or EMP it, or just throw in a bunch of white noise makers on the frequencies of the cell towers and you are toast.
Are you serious? Blocking traffic at high packet rate is expensive - CPU cycles, even with null routing even with FPGAs. It gets expensive as electrical cost at this level - extra heating, extra cooling, extra power. Even if your upstream has provided you with a blacklist community in their BGP announce policy, that traffic is blocked by something. Spend too many CPU cycles on blocking traffic, you miss on a few routing table updates, the tables expire and all that is there behind that router is gone. Your upstream may not like that. This is 650Gbps, think about that for a second - if this is TCP handshake you are looking at something like 20Gpps. Let that sink for a second, actually no, let it sink for a minute.
If I was in Akamai's shoes that is what I would have done - get it off the network for a while, let anger, hot waves, hormones, or whatever other human emotion is fueling it cool off for a while. (And btw, never get a connected car because of this, especially one you need to start with your cellphone)
Short of dropping the network completely off the BGP table in order to stop this at the source or the closest network to the source that speaks BGP cost will always be accrued. And it doesn't help that these days most network aggregate announces to/17 or/16 and don't accept/transmit to peers smaller ones. If I was Akamai I would ask that he moves his DNS to one special/16 that I keep unannounced, but that is a whole lot of IP space wasted. Even if Akamai has agreements to be able to keep/24 granularity of announces to all their peers, and have Krebs's site in some of their big pops where there are larger blocks, it takes time to move other customers out of that block and into other blocks, so they can drop the block off the network for a while without affecting others, even though most of the traffic will reach Akamai's upstreams (from the traffic point of view).
Been there, done that 12-14 years ago. Much hasn't changed, only the numbers - 65 to 650 Mbps back then, 650Gbps now.
Oh, I miss the days when someone on a 19.9Kbps modem could generate a 2+Mbps flood due to ppp compression.
The only guys to ever call it something else were Debilian way back in time, when they called it Debilian GNU/Linux. All other vendors just went with Linux. Now even Debilian has dropped the GNU and calls it just an operating system.
What part of the world you were in? Where I was we had a 45 minute class, followed by a 15 minute break, and after the 3rd and the 6th class (if there were more than 6) the break was doubled to 30 minutes. At most we had 8 classes of 45 minute each a day. And about 2 to 4 hours of homework, depending on how good you were at it, or how many essays, analysis, retellings, etc you had to write. Also sometime we were asked to read the next chapter from the textbook, so the teacher can actually give us entertaining and memorable facts in class, rather than regurgitate what was written.
Those are called light signals. The cars already have them. It is a completely separate questions that Americans think turn signals are something put for fashion and not practical use.
So all I need is 3 old GMC vans (one in front and two on the sides) to stop you dead on the road and rob you for all you have. Unless the human driver cannot override the automatic slow down and stop then that system is pointless and I don't want it in my car.
Not to mention all the pranks that some kids will do stinging cardboard across the road. All the accident avoidance systems should be easily overridden by the driver with a brief kickdown of the accelerator and audio confirmation. This is to avoid somebody panicking and pressing and holding the accelerator rather than the breaks.
And no, this isn't "if", this is a "when" question.
No it isn't
productivity is work done over amount of time. To increase productivity you either have to do more work in the same time, or same work in less time. Doing more work in more time can as well yield same productivity if the amount of work increased increases just liner to the time increase.
That is why people should be fighting against self driving cars.. next thing you know the work week instead of 40 hours will be increased to 50, because you know, you can work in the car now.
Magnetic north can be that far off only I am in the polar circle. And since I am not in it, the deviation should limited to 13 degrees. Also if you have noticed, iPhone uses the GPS to obtain your position so it can apply compass correction. So either the magnetic dipole of the earth has shifted so much without us noticing or I am holding it wrong, even when I'm not holding it at all.
Also the original iPhone from 2007 if used with a screen protector film. Ultimately it was the protector being porous and trapping salt and other contaminants from the fingers that placed electrical stress over the digitizer circuitry over time blowing the opamps. It would be interesting to know how many of those that complain about a broken digitizer on the 6 have a screen protector film.
I managed to remove mine from the old 4S just before it was going to break for good. With the film gone and frequent microfiber wipes, the original digitizer works fine to this day.
I don't know about the temp sensor, but I have yet to see an iPhone with the magnetic compass working correctly after the first 2 months. On all units I've put my hands on, the north seems to be off by around 40 degrees, consistently, on different places on the planet, regardless of the iPhone model if the phone is more than 2 months old. Yet nobody complains.
Are you bonkers? Why does it need NFC. I refuse to buy newer models of things I like because they have NFC. Which in practice works for definitions of near meaning 10m.
It is not struggling, it is reaching maturity, there is only so much new and shiny that you can do with a technology. Having said that, my iPad solely sits next to my kitchen counter and is used solely for myfitnesspal food tracking. My HP touchpad running android solely sits on a wireless charging station and is used for pictureframe in a room that I don't spend time in. My surface is lately solely used for Skype video calls. Two other android tablets (one nook hd, one Samsung) are turned off and solely used for paperweight.
Funny, ever since I had a borked minor update of my 4S back in 2014 while traveling abroad I always do iTunes upgrades on cable. Plus they require 40% less free space on the phone.

What is Yammer? Never heard of it, and I have no incentive to look it up.
I think they misspelled "monetize" as "modernize"

At that size I am sending employees on planes with jackhammers and bobcats to start cutting fibre near the source.

No, but they supply the gearbox software for all F1 cars of all teams (due regulations). It is also windows based.

I still have a bicycle and a pair of strong legs.

Actually it could also be lotus. It is a tasty thing.

His point exactly - YOU drove, you weren't driven.
No need to wonder. Most WISPs are already switching to LTE from 802.11 WiFi
And I refuse to allow Verizon on my phone for the same problem.
