  You two seem to know a lot about this stuff…

• On the post: Selling Fear? There's An App For That

  That they are so full of fear and hate and spread it widely…

  …simply proves that they are not Christians at all. That's what antichrists always do, and will inevitably lead
  to attacking real Christians when things get scary.

• On the post: FCC Fixes Giant Error Over-Stating Broadband Availability… Then Doubles Down On Bogus Claims

  

  aaronwalkhouse ( profile ), 07 May, 2019 @ 07:39pm

  Actually…

  …15 ms is also the typical latency of the first hop in
  wired connections (and in fact is the low end,) so
  we can reasonably expect the full range of latencies
  to be equivalent to the same of wired connections. You're comparing apples to apples and finding them
  equivalent on the first hop. ‌ Further upstream there
  is necessarily another 15 ms hop to ground but even
  that is typically on the low end for equivalent fiber nets. One difference that may interest you is that the orbital
  infrastructure which carries packets for most of the trip is
  close to 33% quicker due to physics. ‌ Fiber propagates
  at only ⅔ of the speed of light so latencies in space get
  a boost, racing ahead of fiber over greater distances. Latencies will, therefore, be comparable or better.

• On the post: Why Your Holiday Photos And Videos Of The Restored Notre Dame Cathedral Could Be Blocked By The EU's Upload Filters

  

  aaronwalkhouse ( profile ), 30 Apr, 2019 @ 02:44pm

  How about this?

  The uploader's declaration exempts that upload from
  mass censorship, forces all complainants to acknowledge
  the uploader's declaration on that upload and then must
  negotiate directly, leaving the website entirely shielded. That saves a website both automatic and manual effort.

  Off topic, but…

  …why is the comments counter off by one on many posts?

  The only posts that ever show zero comments before
  someone submits a comment are Daily Deals.
  All the others show "1 Comments" before then.

  aaronwalkhouse ( profile ), 29 Mar, 2019 @ 09:32am

  Have you noticed…

  …that "probe" never actually DOES any of “investigate,
  look in to, examine, analyze”, etc.? ‌ It simply implies
  that the politicians are paying attention without actually
  having to do a thing besides come up with a tweet a few
  months later. ‌ ; ]

• On the post: US Huawei Blackballing Efforts Stall Due To Lack Of 'Actual Facts'

  Re: Re: I never heard the U.S. say Huawei IS spying…

  It already has, and with evidence to back it up. ‌ ‌ ‌ ; ]
  ‌
  On the firmware updates, only wide updates should be
  allowed. ‌ There should be no targeting of coffee shops
  near government offices or similar tactics which could
  surround sensitive areas without compromising routers
  that are under tighter management. ‌ It makes sense that
  China could create a whole map of equipment near the
  protected areas but without the same local surveillance
  and then set update servers to fill the map accordingly.

  I never heard the U.S. say Huawei IS spying…

  …but they are so tightly bound to Xi Jinping's regime
  that they are clearly vulnerable to influence once 5G
  equipment's installed and running everywhere. ‌ That's
  when it would only take a wave of firmware updates
  to turn the potential threat into reality; all in a network
  environment vastly accelerated and much harder for
  the NSA and friends to surveil for precisely that action.

  All I ever heard mentioned officially is this POTENTIAL.
  Only the press has been looking for CURRENT activity.

  Somebody should suggest that firmware updates
  must pass muster before widespread release, and
  when China starts blocking and threatening nations
  who pass such legislation: THEN we have evidence. ‌ ‌ ‌ ; ]
