PS are you actually able to get 170? The part of me that assumes that all ISPs are dishonest scum until proven otherwise notes that the pre-overhead theoretical max[^] for a 4 channel setup is 172 MB down, but that includes 20MBps of protocol overhead.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm paying for "up to" 150 Mbps.

The article is a poor summation of the main article. Canada are a lot of other countries are not on the list because they only included the countries they wanted to. Many other country had better results but were not included in the summated results.

One problem is using averages. I wouldn't expect the average internet speed in Montana to match that of Los Angeles.
(And if someone moves to an isolated place, is internet really a high priority?)

As global internet usage rises, .com naming is going to get more and more complicated. Type in the IPv6 address directly, of course

And probably 95% of them are owned by Internet trolls who just bought them to squat on them.

Bull. I bet I can easily generate millions of .com domain names that have never been used:
var url = (new Guid()).ToString() + ".com"

An API defines how other programmers interact with your software. As you write code, ask yourself about the user of that code. Oh good. "Functional" didn't make the list

Wrong out of the gate.
An API defines how I interact with my software. Even if it's a one-time deal, I am always looking at two questions:
- Is this method a candidate for an API?
- If so, how do I extract it to minimize dependencies and side-effects so that it is actually re-usable, and validate inputs so that it's used in the correct manner?
Funny how re-use, contracts, and all that wasn't even mentioned.

Specially-designed malware installed on a router or a switch can take control over the device’s LEDs and use them to transmit data in a binary format to a nearby attacker, who can capture it using simple video recording equipment. I'm blinking to express just how impressed I am with their l33t skillz

'Malware uses router LEDs to steal data from not so secure networks' might be more accurate.

In a new study published today in Science, researchers achieved a rare event -- simultaneously proving Albert Einstein both right and wrong. But what was the warp factor?
I hope it wasn't over five, for safety's sake

Well, that's a time warp. That was proven years ago. May 29, 1919
It's the first time this effect has been seen from stars other than the Sun.
Damn, I thought our sun was special!
And seriously? We've been seeing pictures of gravitation lensing from galaxies for years now. I guess galaxies aren't made of stars.

That's what I thought as well, but people seemed to be excited about this, so maybe there was something new?

I think:
they were able to get the mass of the white dwarf based on this effect, which they hadn't been able to successfully do before.
That's what's new.

Precisely, the headline is entirely wrong and misleading. Just for a change.

They're also made of various kinds of dark matter: planets, stars, brown dwarfs, etc.

There are many exciting aspects to .NET Core (open source, cross platform, x-copy deployable, etc.) that have been covered in posts on this blog before. To me, though, one of the most exciting aspects of .NET Core is performance. "Hey, buddy, how can I get this car out of second gear?"

Between this title and the previous one, I read:
Even Steve Ballmer can damage the brain, claim researchers.
