Verizon is choosing not to upgrade it's peering points with Level-3 because they are no longer evenly sharing traffic up/down as all free peering arrangements have ALWAYS required, yet Level-3 doesn't want to pay for the imbalance, and Netflix doesn't want to shift some of their Verizon traffic to a different transit provider than Level-3.
That's been clear to me for some time, but so few seem to get it.
Considering the huge imbalance in download and upload speeds, how exactly is anybody supposed to peer with Verizon?
Not everyone offers such imbalance traffic.
Verizon knowingly set up a situation in which it is impossible for any peer to be on traffic parity with Verizon. Furthermore, traffic parity is almost impossible from a business perspective. Verizon and the last-mile providers have consumers and creators at one end, everyone else has pretty much only creators. The only way for corps like Level 3 to achieve traffic parity is to offer last-mile services,
No, they could pay Verizon for transit, as is the customary practice, rather than expecting Verizon to give them service for free, because you know all the other links in Verizon's networks cost $0/month and Juniper/Cisco give them M20's and 9922's for free.
Unions once played an important role, and maybe somewhere today they still do, but what I see more often is that unions are used for extortion -- every time there's a strike at Boeing because laborers aren't making >100k this is crystal clear.
An NSP can only control bandwidth between themselves and their customers. Bandwidth on other people's networks and from other people's servers are not under their control. The problem there is widespread ignorance of how the net works.
As for TFA, Verizon doesn't want to do L3's and Netflix's work for free, how is that outrageous? If L3 wants VZN to carry substantially asymmetrical traffic, they need only enter into a transit agreement. A couple of XE cards are beans compared to that.
Back around 1987 I set up MX's et al for the company where I worked to be able to send/receive email from the outside. A certain exec there asked me what use it was other than "coolness". He's now Dean of CS at the local prominent university. And why I hate people who drive Saabs.
But re TFA -- please let's stop mistaking clusters of blades for supercomputers.
Homemaking is hardly limited to women.
But really the only future-proof jobs are:
1) Prostitution
2) Drugs, including legalized MJ
Neither is limited to XX or XY chromos.
During my recent job search, the length I'd been with my employer was often a detriment. Through acquisitions I was there for ~18 years, and more often than not the recruiters or tech people made a big annoying fuss about it. It got to the point that I was cringing when they asked about it.
The irony is that I was pushed out by a job-hopper.
Heck, in snakes hybrids across *genera* are known.
What's really the difference between a population, a subspecies, a species, sometimes even a genus? I suspect that taxons are often enough more about someone publishing a paper than science.
You're not the only one. The new style won't stay in for either me or my wife. The old style was slightly better, but I stick with my Sennheiser headphones when I can.
Match.com is cheap and easy to join, so among women one sees mostly
a) window shoppers
and
b) pros
I predict that almost none will set the Mensa flag, and that when they look at men's profiles, it will at best be ignored and at worst will count against a guy. The primary gating factor is always going to be height.
AIUI there's a little-known "check-off tax" of $1/cattle used by the government to promote beef consumption.
It's also been extensively documented that
1) Slaughterhouse practices are very uneven and that increasing line speeds force cutting corners and sloppy work
2) AMR / "mechanically separated" meat often includes CNS material
Slaughtering is actually legal in at least two states in India, Rajastan IIRC and another of the Pak-adjacents. Many cattle are transported there for slaughter, and there are thousands of illegal slaughterhouses.
but starting a car company from the ground up isn't easy, especially when you're taking over a century of auto industry tradition and standing it on its head.
I'm sure Preston Tucker would agree with that thought.
I loathe the Himalayan Blackberry. The berries, while large and numerous, are bland. They store a lot of energy in their roots quickly, so once they get a foothold, they send out shoots everywhere- especially after you cut them back.
Aye -- and the canes grow and branch quickly. I used to own close to 20ac and battled them constantly. They tend to grow in a fountain shape, which when sufficiently large makes it difficult to get at the base for cutting. The canes also branch and intertwine, which coupled with the nasty-ass thorns makes control a battle at any scale. I had a commercial front-mower with a 72" deck and got reasonably good at death from a thousand cuts -- I'd hook a clump around the spindle on the deck's front wheels, then back up to lay it out flat (a move I learned from snakes), then run over it with the deck and repeat. I still have scars on my arms from the inevitable thorn attacks, and never found anything that would stop them.
There are evergreen blackberries too, the ones with lacy / dissected leaves, but they seem less aggressive. There's also actually a delicious native, the dewberry, but it's small and much better behaved, so it can't compete.
Goats are the best remedy. I had a single goat clear an acre of 8-10' tall bramble in a span of a few months. For good. They eat new shoots as soon as they appear until the blackberry roots have expended all their stored energy.
Agreed, it is astounding to watch goats go after this preferred yet armored delicacy, especially since they have no upper teeth. I still don't know how a Nubian can stand on its spindly hind legs to reach up.
If you don't have a goat, then you must remain vigilant. I have a zero tolerance policy towards blackberries. If I see one on my property, it dies.
I hadn't the time/energy/$ to be that extreme about blackberries there, but I sure was about the @#$@#$@# japanese knotweed. Dumbass previous owner planted it because he thought it was friggin' bamboo. Blackberries are nasty, but knotweed, that shit is just plain the devil incarnate, and nearly impossible to kill short of nuking the site from orbit.

This is the obvious answer, wish I had mod points for you. So many people out there just don't understand how the net works, at even a basic level.

Forget France. Come to Greece. We're nicer.

But I'll bet you still eat meat, right? If so TFS is about *you*.
The ones who starved him are in jail.
I had not heard of this case before today, but sheesh, the GP's really shouldn't be jail. They should be in the ground. Buried alive.

Agreed, I've seen the footage with Howard Lyman, and she said nothing legitimately actionable.

Curiously Amazon's page for this model seems to describe it as *not* 4K and only costing $466. http://www.amazon.com/PB278Q-2...
That plus the guy probably watched Eureka and has a thing for Felicia Day.
So instead of selling off school buildings to be made into condos, we should actually use them as schools? What a concept!
