and those I know who still hold BTC, the few that have tried to cash out so far haven't received a single dollar, euro, yen, or pound.

those structures costs tens of thousands of dollars to setup as well as maintain. your taxable revenues must exceed the difference in effective tax rates versus the structure(s) maintenance costs in order for it to make sense.

"easily" is not the word I'd use for that. by my calculations your annual taxable (aka net) income would need to exceed 300,000 (USD/EUR) before you see a break even point.

plus there is the risk (did your accountants and lawyers set it up correctly? will the laws or regulations change next year? etc etc)

"zero rating" is not conducive to neutral treatment of network traffic.

the whole reason "net neutrality" is even a thing in the United States is because how one is able to access internet bandwidth. it's an duopoly at best and the majority have exactly ONE option for broadband internet access.

without an access network (be that copper, fiber, or radio) internet bandwidth can't be delivered. the choke point is the modem.

access networks are a natural monopoly and infrastructure to support an access network MUST be regulated like one in order for "market solutions" to prevail.

but ATT, it's descendants, and the CableCo's have spent tens of millions on lobbying efforts to make sure that never, ever happens.

the EU market isn't exactly small, either. it is smaller, but not small.

tuning buffers has been possible since the dawn of the internet. the point is selectively doing it in an exclusionary manner.

I wanna know more about the onboard wifi services. what team deals with that and are they in Berlin? I'll buy them beers! :)

there isn't as much exotic "stuff" as you might think. they have the same ODMs build switches and line cards to their specifications, with chips from the same vendors (Broadcom, Cavium, etc) only they can easily hire a team and sign the NDA and write/optimize/perfect the forwarding plane and control plane implementations.

hell, the IS-IS implementation in Quagga is usable because of Google :)

kubernetes is a scheduler and orchestrator. something Docker (still?) hasn't gotten right.

having spent considerable time in the Los Angeles datacenter market I am insanely curious where they're putting these 3 zones. I am guessing El Segundo/Hawthorne area, Wilshire Annex in downtown LA, and something in the Orange County area.

> nobody stops you from grabbing a domain name and launch anything you wish.

plenty does!

if you don't rank on google for whatever it is you're launching/publishing -- you don't exist.

you could try sharing it with friends on facebook and hope for a social network effect, but just ask the journalism industry how organic reach is working out as of late

selling something online? your only hope is FBA. where the A stands for Amazon. I guess etsy might work too. so, okay...duopoloy!

and even if you don't care to be found, and aren't selling anything, it is TRIVIAL to take down any kind of not-expensive hosting (your raspi @ home, your DigitalOcean VPS, or colocated server) with a DDoS attack.

AWS, GCP, & Azure can weather most attacks, but it will cost you. And if it's large enough they'll shut you off anyway. and then send you a bill you can't pay.

so no, there is plenty stopping you from launching anything on the internet. the cost structures (be it time or money or both) greatly favor the massively entrenched incumbents. and not a little bit of favor. they favor them....bigly.

bitcoin mining at any hope of profitability comes with custom, specific ASICs.

so far I've yet to have anything lost by Amazon Logistics, however it is almost comical how they deliver the package.

A person shows up and rings the bell for a solid 10 seconds. I buzz them in, then they practically throw the package from the elevator door saying "Tschussi!" as the door closes.

OK, I get it...no signature. that's fine. but you couldn't look like you were in more of a rush if you tried.

my guess is they're applying drone like KPIs to humans and it doesn't look very humane.

not until Broadcom provides a toolchain and writes a P4 backend.

on the tofino chip, yes. what would be the broadcom api on a tomahawk, a P4-based toolchain is for tofino.

P4 is a domain-specific language for packet dataplanes. you can represent the various packet processing pipelines in a broadcom switch chip in P4. broadcom could easily build a P4 to tomahawk API.

P4 has tried very hard to be target independent. there are toolchains targeting GPUs, vSwitches, and FPGAs. you can compile P4 to eBPF.

the control (or management) plane generates packets. a dataplane does not generate packets; it ingests and expels packets.

there sure is. but the marketplaces are so slow and fragile it's essentially impossible (aka too indeterministic/risky)

guess that one person show will check that webserver logging configuration stanza twice before starting httpd...

Rare? I have three! Two i5s and an i7 model.

debatable.

I did. care to tell me what parts I missed?

my position is very simple: sheep don't need to hear a wolf out. there is nothing to discuss.

yes, I did read it. and yes, that's precisely the argument that was presented. with a nice "we should talk about it!" cherry on top.

there's nothing to discuss. women have just as much right as men to be programmers or any other "computer science" or "tech" job and they reason there AREN'T that many of them is preicsely because of the pseudo-science bona fide bullshit written in his "Manifesto".

it only takes one asshole to drive away everyone else.

"I think half of this group should not be allowed in here because of their biology" is not a diverse thought, it's a dangerous one that doesn't need to be entertained yet again (Eugenics, etc etc)

the license the name from the brand owner to make watches

you'll be shocked to find out every single pair of sunglasses at Sunglass Hut is made from the same company.

a persons humanity should not be in question. you can discuss the merits of a specific persons qualifications but to argue "women, as an aggregate, are poor coders because they care about people and not things like dudes do" isn't a discussion. it's just grade-school level sexism.

for someone with a PhD in biological systems, you'd expect a person to be a little more developed in their thinking...

which is odd, because diverse groups are more efficient. you'd think it'd be a hardcore capitalist argument.

the idea is the US is ruled by laws. when you're in US territory, you are subject to those laws. not being a citizen doesn't mean you have no rights.

then again this is the same government who says the Constitution doesn't apply 100 miles in from the border (where a significant percentage of the populace lives...)

I floated a similar idea (dubbed quickgig) and quickly realized it isn't very feasible for the vast majority of work that could be characterized as on-demand. better to break it down into specialities first and foremost.
