All of those are very densely populated places.

I’m open to ideas. Show me an example of it.

It is too distributed in too many places for mass transit. The religious fervor over the fuck cars movement is not going to get people in highly populated, low density areas to walk a mile to catch a bus to catch a train full of homeless people to catch another bus to walk a half mile to their destination, when they could have completed that same journey in the comfort of their own car in 1/4 of the time.

Take Dallas for instance. I’m not going to do the work for you, but feel free to plan a trip from a random house in Allen, TX to a business 5-10+ miles away using both the public transit system and then a car. No one sane with limited time in their day is opting for the public transit option. And this is in a city with a decent passenger rail system.

The United States is simply too large and distributed for everyone to use public transportation. It will never happen, so get used to it and try to optimize what will be part of our future.

No it won’t. No one does. No one ever does.

Ya really gotta click occasionally and maybe type a few things.

Reminds me of drawing lines on old AMD processors with graphite pencils.

This resonates well with me. However, still struggling with the last sentence. I can’t ignore how superficial life has become for me. A therapist told me to consider my value for simply existing. There are days when I’m able to do that, but many in which nihilism takes over.

How do you avoid the feeling of superficiality? That’s what I struggle with most. It just doesn’t really seem to matter.

It will be enforced through the app stores, I imagine. You raise a good point, though, that people will still be able to access TikTok through mobile web.

Dispersion compensation and FEC are separate layers of the cake, and work hand in hand.

It’s much more than just 100Gb/s.

A single fiber can carry over 90 channels of 400G each. The public is mislead by articles like this. It’s like saying that scientists have figured out how to deliver the power of the sun, but that technology would be reserved for the power company’s generation facilities, not your house.

We already have transceivers that perform forward error correction. That technology is a decade+ old.

Agreed. This article is an attempt to convince people that all is lost unless Israel goes all in and takes over Palestine. The war for hearts and minds rages on.

Similarly, if you have kids, being completely authoritarian is a losing strategy.

Why are we so dumb? Just put a large rolling cover over solar fields. Truck beds have this “technology”.

Luckily, no one is buying 5G slices.

Yay, escaped the fight with 0 health!

Having worked in product security, the biggest challenge we faced was upstream vulnerabilities in both closed and open source software. The biggest problem with FOSS is that its allure is the F part. No company wants to dedicate resources to patching vulnerabilities in software they don’t own, and no OSS developer wants to work for F500 companies for free.
