This is optimizing edge cases.
Handshake is done once per execution , and it's constant time , so "connect + select 1" should be measured as "connect", then "select 1". Other than that, 5ms latency is too high anyway for modules doing hundreds of small requests, so you better have read replicas real close to your code, and shard your masters.
Few more rounds and people in the streets will begin to understand spitting in the face of your primary sustenance supplier is not very smart. Were they thinking stealing (freezing assets and confiscating private property) and sanctioning trade would be taken by Russia as a reward, or what ? Well, choose your friends wisely, choose your enemies wiser yet. Not that the option of refusing Ukraine into NATO was off the table.
Let me introduce myself. 500km no breaks done regularly. 1000 km with one break to refuel and take a leak , easily. You know, good comfortable diesel car (BMW X5 ) does wonders to make traveling long distances a non-issue.
"The majority of charging will be done at home" ? With multifamily/apartment style homes, no way every parking place in the basement parking is getting a dedicated charger.
"or maybe at work (I can see EV charging parking lots becoming a benefit)" - with work from home trend gaining traction ?
"Quick-charged at restaurants" ? So, eating out for $50 per person and an hour to eat and quick-charge, instead of stopping for 5 minutes at the pump ?
"It will be done cheaply, at home, at night" - no it won't. Majority of low pay workers won't be able to charge their EVs at home, even if they would be able to buy them. More "rich get richer, poor get poorer, and affected by running dirtier ICEs"
OMG . Not personal, but you're delusional and/or straight up lying.
Denser cities are more enjoyable to live ? Wrong.
Denser cities safer for children to play outside ? Wrong.
Cities are loud because of cars ? With all that increased density you will have your surroundings much noisier when it hurts most - at the end of the day, when everyone is back from the job, and having a good time at home. Loud music, celebrations, brawls, arguments, etc.
No, cramping more people in the same space will not this space more livable; ask Chinese .
Well, as it has been pointed many times in the past, private companies have no obligations to provide any kind of a service, for free or for profit. See Youtube removing videos, Twitter banning users, etc.
Best thing Germany could do is stop supplying weapons to Ukraine and convince Zelensky to agree to Russia's terms. EU gets it's buffer state and cheap gas, Russia gets it's buffer state and peace of mind , Ukraine.. Well, Ukraine gets ripped apart . Revolutions fail every so often, this will be one of such cases
Well, matchmaking and lobby is at least as important as connectivity ; not every multiplayer game requires absolutely flawless connectivity and pings in tens of ms, but every multiplayer game requires some kind of a player profile , and many of those games have a notion of "match", and "players participating in a match", thus requiring a matchmaking based on some rules, most often those are player level and user location. Almost every game I, as an ops engineer, took part in launching and running, was implementing those two parts, with varying degrees of success and finesse
Well, there's Polycom , and their pro/business solutions were delivering an exceptional results back before Zoom . Idk about their current product line, though
