These people are so hardcore, I love reading their news, there is at least one thing that makes me go WTF in a positive sense every time

Of the two RIPE actually existed first. RIPE isn't just a forum, it is the community of European and Middle Eastern IP network operators. It started as coordination meetings of some European operators and grew from there. At some point the RIPE community was large enough that they founded the RIPE Network Coordination Center with full time employees as a sort of secretary role for the community. Later when the RIRs were created to decentralize the management of IP resources that job was assigned to the RIPE NCC for the RIPE region.

My work place is one of those original European operators and the colleage who represented us at ripe-1 is also still employed, though close to retirement now :-)

You want that thread, not this one

Victorianox

It's called Victorinox, from "Victor-" from Victoria, the founders Mother, and "-inox" from "acier inoxydable", i.e., non-oxidizing steel.

Of course he doesn't want that, he strengthened Hamas specifically so there would be no single clear entity in the PNA with which he would have to negotiate for a two state solution. Except he underestimated Hamas and they became too strong. I don't understand what his current theory of victory is though... annexing Gaza?

Regular bathing isn't what you want, frequent bathing, that's important. What good is it if someone bathes with great regularity on the first of every month?

The way you use "PC" as a synonym for "Windows" proves that you are indeed a long term Mac user.

87% of teenagers use Apple

Do you mean US American teenagers, or North American teenagers, or who exactly? Surely that can't be global?

For perspective, at work for our production network through Switzerland, we use at most 16 QAM with dual-polarization, and at most 88 channels (except we never utilize more than maybe 10). With just normal single mode single core fibers. This paper has just everything blown up in all directions of cool.

Yes, to get their speeds they used the usual wavelength division multiplexing, except over an insane 750 wavelength channels, space division multiplexing over the 38 corse with 3 modes, and 256 QAM with dual-polarization in each

I think that both hollow core fibers filled with air and others with just vacuum exist, but it's a bit far from my operational reality, so I'm not that sure. I just read in industry news that euNetworks has deployed 45 km of Lumenisity hollowcore fiber and that Microsoft bought Lumensity

The financial types are generally more interested in hollow core fiber, to get their latencies even further down for high frequency trading. Because light travels at almost c in hollow core but only at 2/3 c in fiber core.

That depends on where those bytes go, though. There is also the concept of "settlement-free peering" and content caches that are located in the ISP network.

For example we have a Google Global Cache instance in our network, so most Google traffic is served from there and we don't pay anyone per byte, we only pay for the power and space. Same for Akamai. Then for Microsoft, Cloudflare and Facebook we have peering links, where we can send and receive data related to their services freely, without balance requirements.

Of course this is only possible for larger networks (peering with everyone is not feasible) and we still pay for the other traffic, but it takes care of a lot of the volume.

Thank you!

Actually it's about 2/3 c, the refractive index of normal telco fibers (G.652 and G.655) is around 1.47

The breakthrough isn’t things moving faster but more fibers per cable.

No, it's actually more cores per fiber, and using those very well for space division multiplexing on top of the normal wavelength division multiplexing. They are talking about 22.9 Pb/s per fiber, not cable, the Tom's Hardware article is just wrong.

Cables can already contain hundreds of fibers, for example 576 here or into the thousands if you use stacks of ribbon cables in the subunits, for example 3456 here

It does say "Credit: Microsoft Designer / DALL-E 3"

If there was no DRM we wouldn't need to trust anyone to undo it.

Or if that emergency release of the DRM was a contractual guarantee we had at point of purchase, we'd also need less trust.

That's a good policy. As long as the right people are still around to enforce it, it's a little reassuring.

Good as always for me. The only issue is syncing contacts and calenders with MS-Exchange Servers, for that you need plugins and I haven't really found a good combination, but I don't know if my workplace is at fault too.
