It’s more like 3 really wide pixels.

I haven’t had the courage to run executable code from P2P networks since the early 2000s. Even then it was probably a bad idea.

That’s a good pun. Clearly the authors have mastered the second hardest problem in computer science.

Google is at fault here for creating the software-defined garbage, but they’re not literally selling the products, are they?

AOL came on floppies originally, but the quality was so poor that you could barely rewrite them.

My thought while watching the movie was:

Wow this “patriarchy” concept is intriguing. It seems like it would be really useful if I hadn’t gone through life avoiding any kind of power or responsibility.

p1mrx , (edited )

I would like to think that my biggest accomplishments (at a major tech company for 10+ years) happened through making good technical/ideological arguments, listening to people’s problems, and telling computers how to fix them, rather than my physical appearance. Whenever they asked me to be a manager, I was like “ugh, no that sounds awful.”

Then after 15 months of COVID isolation, I burned out and left. Now I’m thinking it’d be nice if I’d learned how to approach women and do standard masculine things. The world doesn’t just give you sex for excelling in school/work.

I guess my point is that a patriarchal society makes it difficult for men who don’t actively pursue power over others to form relationships.

p1mrx ,

Yeah, I think some people are born with an innate desire to understand how things work. It’s possible to recognize it in toddlers, based on observations within my extended family. Our society would be enriched if we were better at recognizing and nourishing that trait when it appears in women.

I don’t think “anyone” can excel in STEM, but there are likely a lot of women (and to a lesser extent men) who potentially could, but fail to get the right exposure at a young enough age.

p1mrx ,

I’m just documenting how the world is, not how it should be. In general women can form relationships passively (be excellent and accept/reject offers), while men have to engage in active pursuit, or else nothing happens.

Car companies like Honda, BMW, and Hyundai are banding together to build an EV-charging network bigger than Tesla's Supercharger empire (www.businessinsider.com)

Car companies like Honda, BMW, and Hyundai are banding together to build an EV-charging network bigger than Tesla’s Supercharger empire::Tesla has been building out its Supercharger network for over a decade. Now legacy car companies are taking a page from Elon Musk’s playbook.

You are describing symptoms of bufferbloat, not capacity problems.

Multi-hour downloads have been a thing since capacity was measured in kbps. If a simple TCP transfer causes excessive queueing, then the queueing algorithm is broken.

A router with OpenWrt and https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/traffic-shaping/sqm can fix this problem, at least for an internet connection with a fixed speed limit.

p1mrx ,

Well, if you currently have this problem and want to fix it, I’ve shown you the way. OpenWrt is free software.

Otherwise, there’s no point arguing about it.

I asked our AI overlords for an appropriate punishment:

The company executives have to spend the weekend acting as city gardeners, complete with typical gardening attire, tending to the local parks and trees - ensuring the community that they’re committed to their “root-level” duties.

Wikipedia says ± 525 kV DC. They’re sending 1.4 GW a distance of 765 km. Previous record was the North Sea Link at 720 km.

Android still doesn’t support DHCPv6 and will be left without a valid address.

RFC 7934 explains their reasoning, though it’s not exactly an ironclad argument.

At least my washing machine plays a cute little tune.

It is straightforward to run an isolated network with TCP/IP, DNS, and web servers. The hard part would be dealing with software that complains/fails if you’re not using HTTPS.

In general, you would want an offline copy of the entire software stack (e.g. a Gentoo Linux mirror) so you can patch whatever problems you encounter.

The best you can realistically do is vote for people who care about solving the problem, and against people who ignore the problem.
