>Is there any cost that an ISP company has related to the amount of data transferred?

I mean, there's a physical limitation to how much data a given amount of cable can transfer at any time. Some of bandwidth caps are likely to prevent people from streaming as much data as they can 24/7 otherwise considerably more cable would have to be run, not unlike adding more pipes when more housing additions are added to an area (think of Sim City when you'd need to add more water infrastructure when you'd have more buildings).

Data usage is actually increasing at a mind-boggling rate, there are plenty of good articles about this on the internet.

If we look at Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_traffic

We see in 2000 1.008 EB of IP traffic, in 2010 it jumps to 241.812 EB, 2017 jumps to 1,464 EB!

Mobile traffic went from 86.412 EB in 2016 to 144 EB in 2017!!!

(those above numbers are taken from Cisco whitepapers cited in the Wiki entry)

Ericcson has a good one here about mobile data increase:

https://www.ericsson.com/en/mobility-report/future-mobile-da...

If you look at the numbers you see that at the current growth rates, there really is a valid reason to limit data usage as much as possible by providers via datacaps. While their current cabling can likely handle the demand, they're almost certainly going to reach a point in the near future where they simply can't deploy cable enough to keep up with the annual increases.
100K EUR is a high income relative to the median but not compared to the actual upper class.

It might get you a mortgage on a 500K EUR home. Maybe.

Now consider everything above that, farmland, companies, warehouses, etc. Not some theoretical tiny portion, but actually a load of stuff above that.

Leaving aside any form of apologism if you define 100K as upper class you now have no term to describe those that are actually rich.
Postgres Proposal for Incremental Materialized Views
The original -8 (no slash anything) used discrete transistors and DTL logic.

Going the opposite direction I always wanted to reimplement the flipchip modules using SMD technology just for fun. A discrete transistor SMD PDP8 that fits on a desk would superficially seem realistic, at least for a large enough desk. Honestly I just don't want to pay for the connectors and wire the backplane connectors. The SMD components could turn 60s era "handheld" flipchip modules into postage stamps, but no technological progress has happened for wire wrapped backplanes so my SMD design's backplane would remain exactly the same size and complication as the original -8, unfortunately. I'd have a giant tangle of wire wrap wires and a couple hundred postage stamp size "nano-flipchips". Probably 50 pounds of interconnect copper and 1 pound of circuit boards, LOL.

This is whats likely to get Op. Its easy to make an adder or a latch, but takes an entire spool of wire to connect one up to the overall circuit. Lots of work.

Sure, if you use 1950s germanium transistors, RTL and DTL logic is no fun anymore. I always wanted to try RTL and DTL using something more fun, like 2010s era microwave low power amplifier FETs. I would not like to pay for it, but it would be a lot of fun to build a 50 GHz ALU or similar. I have no idea what I'd do with it other than say "wow" a lot, which makes it an ideal hobby experiment.

The study defines upper class as top 10% of net income.
If they removed a book because they didn't like it because it was antisemitic, then it's clear to me that they will most likely do so again in the future for antisemitism and, maybe, for other reasons.

That's what happens with having editorial control: either you play sides (by removing stuff you don't want and maybe pumping up stuff you like[]) or you don't play sides (by publishing the rank without modifying it). And Spiegel is playing sides here.

[]I'm not saying Spiegel has done or will do this, this is just an example.

Do you not find it concerning that someone at the 90th income percentile in one of the richest countries in the world, in stuck in a socio-economic system where they have to be in significant debt to be able to obtain two fundamental human rights - shelter and transport?

Either something is wrong with the social system which is making individuals to spend so much. Or something is wrong with the economic system, which is not providing enough income. Or something else wrong?

> defined in relative terms -- as the top 10% by (net) income.

A ridiculously stupid definition only some economists can come up with.

A family with a huge mansion and its own multi-billion trust (living expenses paid by the trust) is not upper class, a graduate who owns nothing but debt and has just landed a well-paid job is, according to this definition.
For the German bourgeoisie, it's education and cultivation. (Education and profession are probably more important class markers than actual income or wealth.) The genuine upper class may or may not care about either because their status is drawn from other things.
If the couple is married and only one of them is earning money, 5160 EUR net income per month may be generated by less than 100k EUR total income per year (its roughly 98k).

I mostly know them for Cyber Security infrastructure stuff. They manage CVEs, and they work on a lot of cyber security projects for DoD. More recently they have created the MITRE ATTACK framework. This gives insight into the different tactics used by bad-guys, and techniques used to achieve them.

I am just noticing that you own/manage this site and are getting a lot of grief about subjective design opinions from many random developer types that do not consume content in the same manner as your audience or live in reality, so can see the frustration.

The May to present drop in positioning is catastrophic.

The content is fantastic for your space and design aligns more with journal websites than health/nutrition space. That may not be beneficial to keeping users more accustomed to image heavy,popular health space.

Contrast/Accessibility is poor - What standards were you following in a redesign?

After the redesign and as your organic positioning started plummeting - did you identify any increase in 404's and/or do visitor recordings of the traffic you do have?

Most of the titles being identified as "clickbaity" should be your OG titles and it is true that there is a weakness in on page optimization decisions and general architecture across the site. The backlink profile IS problematic! but with on page and general architecture concerns that could be improved that would be the first order of business if I was trying to restore this to former glory.

Seeing the WEB Md and drugs.com / health.com that appear in positions that your site and content are much better qualified for is concerning. You are being screwed.

Just looking at your "white kidney bean extract" article from your profile and then seeing the Livestrong article and other crap that is better positioned points out the terrible weaknesses in the last 4-5 years of Google's improved positioning for bigger brands and move away from exact matching. Livestrong hides their references in a dropdown and sticks an adblock there.

I point that out because in the end - the white hat quality guidelines are garbage and propaganda and rarely reflect reality in the enterprise/brand space .

Make the site more accessible to the average reader and those who are first researching supplements and improve your social channel. Google is not reacting logically in your positioning in comparison to the structure,positioning and quality of your competitors. But the site could be much better composed and structured.
I agree. I can enjoy both, but I get a particular energy out of discussing ideas. Small talk about one's life or vacation is less interesting/energizing to me.

And that's okay. I'm not sure why this had to involve a sermon on immaturity and—of all things—bigotry.

I would say 5TB is reasonable. If a 4K movie is 100GB. then over 30 days is 3TB of usage. If 1 person per day watches a 4k movie and the household of ~1-5 people does other things as well, 5TB should be sufficient. I think that is a stretch and my gut says yeah, 1TB is good, but I already upload/download 10-20GB per day at work so 5TB seems more reasonable for an upper bound.

> I would say that I'm an introvert who's really good at pretending to be an extrovert for small amounts of time

In other words: an introvert. There seems to be a widespread misconception that introversion means being "shy" and not talking to people, when in reality it is more about where you draw energy from. The result is tons of people self-identifying as "extroverted introverts"[1], presumably in an attempt to signal that they are not totally devoid of social skills, when in reality introversion has nothing to do with that.

[1] When I was single I saw this surprisingly often in online dating profiles. Interestingly, for all the many people I've seen identify this way, I've never seen a single person self-identify as the opposite: an "introverted extrovert".

Ideally, use phase changes. A bank of ice will reject a lot more heat than 1C water.

I think it is interesting.

There are new paths to going public in the last several years, specifically because the government had made it too expensive to go public and be public primarily after Enron. One decade of companies coming to terms with staying private, one decade of companies coming to terms with the new ways of going public.

So they loosened that up and the industry reacts.
It’s not even remotely. It’s equivalent to 3 mbps. It’s not a technological limit. It’s only imposed to extract more money and discourage streaming. It sets the country back technologically. It also discourages content creators from jumping to 4K.

That's the "traditional" class view here in the UK where pretty much everyone is middle class these days (real aristocratic members of the upper class being rather rare and hardly anyone claims to be working class) - even Eton educated David Cameron claimed to be middle class:

The study defines upper class as the top 10% of net income (after tax and mandatory insurances, after transfers such as pension and child benefits, and including a rent imputation for home owners). The study [1] does not explicitly mention capital income (capital gains, interest, dividends), but I have no reason to believe that they were excluded (insofar as they are also liable to taxation at 25%).

Lol, I'll assume the OP recently returned from one of the many European trance festivals (Mo:dem, maybe?) and discovered a new passion :-)

The comments are on point: the best thing about psytrance is the community, and the extremely friendly hippie vibe found in these festivals as well as, let's be honest, the extremely copious amount of free-flowing available drugs can make any one of them a live-changing experience.

I wonder how it compares to the American equivalent, which would be something like Burning Man? I guess?
There's actually strong synergy. There's a lot of spin-in and spin-out going on between space and non-space sectors.

COTS and general commodization of "discete units" (parts, subsystems, assemblies, etc.) is one of the biggest drivers for the commercialization of space. It's enabling people to move towards the use of advanced manufacturing techniques, cutting lead time and cost, and enabling batch production.

We recently published an article on how manufacturing lines are changing in the space industry, inspired by best practices in mature commercial sectors like the auto industry: https://blog.satsearch.co/2019-08-08-demystifying-auto-indus...

We see a lot of this happening through our website: https://satsearch.co. We're effectively building a B2B marketplace because of this specific change in the way supply chains are being architected.

Because everybody starts their worklife with a huge salary? I don't see the point of this calculation.

The rich and super-rich don't show up whenever only income is considered. Any class definition based on income and not wealth is pointless.
> You use templates which in most cases, if left in the open, can be used to reverse engineer and get a fingerprint to match that template. Though it does not have to be the original one.

Could you elaborate? How you would go about it? Any links I can read up on?
This is where stationary storage (via batteries) makes a lot more sense. In Australia, the same problem exists, but they have an giant ozone hole so even more UV hits the surface. Tesla deployed what (at the time) was the biggest battery storage project in the world. They built a 100MW/129MWh battery setup with their Powerpacks. In another part of Australia, they're deploying a "virtual power plant" by equipping up to 50,000 homes with individual home battery backups via Tesla's Powerwall product. The grid operator will be able to tap into each of these batteries to redirect power to the grid or shift load off of the grid whenever they see necessary. This is resulting in massively improved prices for electricity in South Australia where they had a lot of rolling blackouts (due to the heat) last summer.

The newly released Tesla Megapack https://www.tesla.com/megapack seems like a slam dunk for this sort of thing. You store that crazy amount of sunshine that is excess in batteries and use them that evening or the following morning. The economics of this approach are becoming more and more realistic due to better technology and better manufacturing.

And assuming that the only thing that internet is used for is netflix then that's roughly then you're looking at 5780 minutes of video. (or, 50 movies, or 125~ episodes of your favourite netflix-length tv show)

I'm not sure if that's a lot or not, I suspect it's not, but I'm a heavy netflix user so I might be a shitty reference.

Nonetheless, those are the numbers.
That's partly because the market boom is itself a self-fulfilling prophecy. Stock markets go up because other people think they're going up. People who buy securities for the purpose of re-selling, rather than holding, bid prices up, based not on fundamental valuation but on the thought that it will become more popular.

Stock markets aren't the same as the economy as a whole, but stock market bubbles boost the economy when irrational exuberance increases the total apparent wealth. And when enough people decide that it's peaking, it does, and the same process works in reverse, causing a recession.

So yeah, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, but that doesn't mean there's a way to avoid it. The market prices are already high; they must eventually revert to something closer to a true valuation. But since that time is determined almost entirely by consensus, nobody knows when. Indicators like this one are a sign that people are changing their minds, but it's been that way for a while. They're just indicators of public perception, and the public takes them into account, too.
>you have publications like the New Statesman who then exaggerated the transgression by the Telegraph, calling them "Lies, damned lies"

You're right that it's not strictly necessary, but as I said, it falls out naturally from computing the required continuations. This optimization doesn't necessarily happen naturally when compiling direct code, depending on your intermediate IR of course, ie. say, if your IR is already continuation-based.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out on the JVM though.
