Probably because this blog post is from 2016.

I haven't followed 5G planning/predictions in a few years, but the last big deal I recall in this area was having the 5G included in the home broadband offerings. In other words, the current U-Verse/FiOS modem/router would also have a 5G microcell in it.

That would help with some of these issues as it relates to pole access and such.

Discussion from the post yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15263575

I don't recall being at, or working with, a company where this wasn't _the_ reason patches were delayed at least some period if time.

Companies are driven by profit; unknown patches can negatively affect profit and are usually treated as such.

Alternatively, there are sometimes political reasons. A director may not want to risk an outage for fear of being dressed down by their VP.

Any change to a production environment comes with risks, sometimes having a security risk is judged to be lower risk than making a change.

I've seen this from small startups to multi-billion dollar companies.

Ignoring these factors is also putting your head in the sand.

There are some environments where headphones are discouraged, sadly I worked in one that was semi-open (more of a bullpen).

The reality is some people work fine in open environments, some don't. If you really want to have happy, productive team members, you need to offer some different options.

Ah, OK. Well understandable then. Unless that could be obscured with a reverse proxy or something.

I find it amusuing when I tried to load the site I get a 429 "Too many requests" nginx error.

This is entirely true of the area. Affordability of nice housing is easily in-budget, even on a single income.

If you don't mind a commute, multiple acres of land is also an option. I just recevied an ad in the mail today for 5+ acre lots on a lake, 30 minutes from Dallas starting at $189k.

We moved from Dallas to Seattle 4 years ago for family. We moved back to Dallas after 18 months due to housing costs. Our house cost about 60% of what we would have spent for a dump half the size in the Seattle area.

Some states/locales still don't allow resale back to the grid. I wish Texas did.

The biggest hurdle to speedbump placement for speeders in residential areas is emergency service response times (ISO response times and such).

Now, if you had a speed bump that could become perfectly smooth when emergency vehicles are approaching, but have some other slowing effect for normal traffic, that would be interesting.

Without being married, or signing a piece of paper, there's no one in my life who could make medical or financial decisions if I were incapacitated. Maybe you have other relatives who could by default (and that you trust), but I don't. Having spent the last few months dealing with medical issues, this is more important to me than I had ever anticipated.

I see your point at a basic level, but I feel like you're missing out on details that really make an impact in the long run of the marriage itself. Maybe they aren't important to you today, but someday they may be.

Maybe whatever you do can be called a partnership or something else if you're more comfortable with that.

My Android 7 phone still sends WiFi probes anytime I wake the screen. Even though the power saving features are disabled such that it remains connected while the screen is off.

There's a lot Android could do better in this area.

I really hope this helps drive privacy laws in the US to favor the consumer. Please share these articles with everyone you know.

The mAP is just what I have laying around, it's small and usually in my bag anyway. Plus, it has 2 ethernet ports so I can use it as a router/AP in a wired environment too.

To power it I use a microUSB cable to my laptop, or a phone charger, or a battery pack with the microUSB cable.

What is the company/product? I'm curious about an all-in-one solution as I already do this with an extra Mikrotik router and things like pi-hole or OpenDNS. Currently a mAP [0], but there are more inexpensive options.

Yes, the post I replied to was talking about NLP.

That said, in my limited experience, organizations doing NLP also have something to offer by way of TTS too.

It's probably safe to assume a lot of that was due to some/most of Siri being licensed from Nuance initially. I mean, who wants to talk about a new product, which most people think is brand new and entirely innovative, just to say "Oh yeah, we paid someone else to work with us to create it."

Not that there's anything wrong with that and it certainly seems like Apple has been investing in-house pretty heavily in recent years for Siri improvement.

If you have a need for a prescription with costs in that range, the prescription itself is likely a minimal cost in the whole scheme of healthcare costs you have.

Specialists usually charge significantly more than primary care physicians and an unforseen trip to the ER can easily cost $20k. It's not as simple as working an extra month or two.

The risks of not having insurance are utterly terrible financial handcuffs. I'm just starting down the path of cancer treatments, the coverages (or lack thereof) and costs are eye-opening, and scary.

I think, basically using the email to point to blog posts and other content you create/manage (or sponsored posts). I agree nor just a link, but you'd need some kind of teaser, a few sentences or a paragraph lead in with a "continue reading" link to the full article/post, etc. Each link would track clicks and such so you could build up data on what is popular, and who likes it.

The key being, once you have eyeballs out if the email and on a page, you're more open for affiliate links and advertising options based on the data you're gathering.

Maybe your newsletter could have teasers on different topics that link to blog posts, or articles that will let you create different funnels for different interests. Then, once you have them in the funnel, you are able to gather metrics on what is important/valuable to your readers.

Bonus points if the blog posts/articles have affiliate links for readers purchases.

Gold star if the blog posts/articles are also "sponsored content". Then you're getting paid for that too.

My wife and I have seriously considered this. It could also be an interesting way to combat hail damage. Unfortunately the HOA would never allow it.

Northeast of Dallas, I know of at least 2 being built, and I suspect at least 3 others. I'm sure there are many, many more.

RagingWire is possibly the largest single company building a single campus/facility at the moment[0], and only about 2 miles from my house. It's quite impressive when you drive by and see the utterly massive power substation they built across the street too.

While the Telecom Corridor[1] name is somewhat dated, it's still growing.

I think we're on the same page. My point was I think it's too complicated to do all of those steps (and likely more) just to "switch" to UDP. You could instead make all of that part of the Web UDP application, which is no less complicated, but then you are removing one step of switching applications/protocols midway through.

I guess what I'm trying to say is UDP could work, but I think trying to bootstrap the initial connection/session info with HTTP is probably going to be FAR more trouble than it's worth.

If you see children as a "serious competitive disadvantage", you've answered your own question...at least for now, you may change your mind later.

Being a parent is the single most challenging and rewarding thing I've ever done. Nothing else comes close. If you're asking a ton of questions, you're not ready.

Sure, but in this context, unless you are able to use the same source port for TCP and UDP (and likely from the load balancer to the application server too) you'll still need another way to identify a client/session when switching from TCP to UDP.

Doing that with NAT is even trickier. Take a look at the way some firewalls need to configure a DMZ for gaming, or SIP for some examples.

It's different because a load balancer will send your initial HTTPS request to one application server, but when you're switching protocols (to UDP) you'll then want that traffic directed the same place. Or need some way to share session data across multiple app servers.

You could handle it with some kind of cookie/token that enables the LB to route to the right place, but that opens a whole bunch of other complicated logic too.

Whereas if the UDP application/server were able to handle it independently of HTTP(S), you wouldn't need any of that.

You could also handle the "handshake" elsewhere, like the application layer. This type of identification is already done in other UDP-based protocols, like RADIUS.

UDP is arguably faster in some ways that is handled, provided the application load is managed well.

I spent a lot of childhood summers in Gaylord, MI. I'm sure I've been to this park, but somewhat I recall mention of him elsewhere too.

2549 also includes QoS https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2549.txt

Even so, this may not be very beneficial.

In years past, many RBLs would categorize IP Addresses by type. e.g. dynamic IPs assigned to DSL/Cable subscribers. This would enable a receving SMTP server to check if the email came from an ISP subscriber, rather than an email server. If so, it was usually a good guage that the email was "spammy", because it was sent by a subscriber's infected computer.

In this sense, it was (and may still be) possible to simply block, or at least score differently, email from any/all AWS Elasic IPs.
