You're assuming copyright exists to protect studios first. No, it protects everyone equally. A studio can't take a 20 year old story and make a blockbuster out of it without licensing the story. That is precisely what…
> You only would license something that’s already successful. That's the point. Someone finds something not successful, sees that they could make a lot of money off it, takes it for their own, has copyright over their…
20 years is short enough for someone to wait for it to expire rather than pay a licensing fee. You ideally want it long enough that someone can benefit from their work, without being so long that society is unduly…
I'd have loved to come to this, but I can't make the date work. Have a wonderful time!
Not just AWS. IIRC, GCS and ABS are slightly cheaper for storage but more for egress. To be fair to them, their reliability is pretty much second-to-none, whereas many of those at the very cheap end pretty much just ran…
> the cost per GB is shockingly cheap Huh? We're talking about the same S3 right? At list pricing, 1TB is $23/TB to store for one month, and about $90/TB (plus request fees) to send it out to the internet. While hard…
Anycast is hardly unique to Cloudflare. It's been around since the late 80s (before BGP), and has been used commercially for much longer than Cloudflare has existed. In fact, the root nameservers have done anycast for…
Hence why in financial markets, a 10^9 billion is called a "yard" (from milliarde)!
Ironically, the cheapest phones available all tend to have Dual SIM Dual Active, usually because (in Europe at least) many have a second SIM card specifically for international calls. So yes, it's "too expensive"…
Dual SIM Dual Active phones are under £100 in the UK, I imagine under $100 in the US. Dual SIM Dual Standby (two or more SIMs, one radio) is cheaper, less battery, less space, and usually good enough. It's literally a…
Well, there's kind of a precedent at least... > Gofmt's style is no one's favorite, yet gofmt is everyone's favorite.
> Yet IPv6 hasn’t been adopted. For decades. I'd argue it has, but that's not the point. IPv4 is pretty much mandatory for most users of the internet. Yes, individual users probably neither know nor core whether they're…
When I worked at OpenConnect (Netflix's CDN) there was a lot of Python too, and I started porting a lot of the tooling to Go. By the time I left (2019), Go was really starting to take off outside of OpenConnect too --…
A single PCIe-3 nvme drive will saturate it on a sequential read load.
Needing to list an "executive sponsor" (an individual, not a role or a team) for each and every item in a service catalogue seems like mindless bureaucracy. Meanwhile, having "custom properties" attached to each repo…
Traditionally, that was the email address for the NTP service at various organisations, in the same way that postmaster was for the mail service.
That's a good point about LTE/5G. Thanks!
I could be wrong, but I think DAB uses DQPSK (which can be thought of as a special version of QAM 4 if you squint a bit) and not anything like the higher QAM constellations because it's deliberately designed for mobile…
... Did you replace them with pringles tubes?

I hope you mean updated... Otherwise we're about to find out what's in the letter of last resort they have onboard! ;)
Before Radio 4 LW was renumbered in 1988, it was 200kHz. And before the early 70s it was referred to as it's wavelength... 1500m :P
Not entirely true. There's quite a bit of error correction applied: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Audio_Broadcasting#Err...
DAB+ uses EEP (and RS) which was deliberately chosen to give better signal quality all the way to the point of losing reception. Old DAB used UEP which degrades faster, but instead of having no signal, it went to a…
The phrase "if I were to hazard a guess" should tell you all you need to know. All I did beforehand was update my existing knowledge by reading the Wikipedia article at…
