There's far more room for improvement when per capita is high than there is when per capita is low. And the climate certainly does care about cumulative CO2. Would have, could have…

Maybe it has to do with the US having double the per capita carbon footprint, and double the cumulative total amount of CO2 of China, and many multiples of India: https://www.world…

Equinix doesn't own many of the buildings they have facilities in. Aside from Dallas Infomart, I don't really know of any where they do, but I do know many buildings they have faci…

Network at the wholesale level is always measured in Mbps using 95th percentile, not in data transferred (average sustained, equivalent to 50th percentile because we're talking abo…

Pretty much any colo or dedicated/bare metal provider. $0.07 to $0.12 per Mb is the going rate for most carriers at any appreciable volume, and even the higher end carriers are les…

I think the point he was trying to make is that big tech can use privacy regulations to keep out new competitors, rather than encourage them, as compliance with privacy regulations…

I think financially literate people in Canada don't pay anywhere near $200. I've always paid around $50/mo for the last 20 years, without ever going out of my way to shop for promo…

Sorry, the website is pretty outdated. We're almost exclusively rolling out AMD EPYC3's these days, and we'd price any of those older configurations much lower than what the websit…

From our experience, if we price too low we get people who expect the world for bottom dollar. $199 is more the minimum price point at which we’re generally willing to take someone…

(Disclaimer) As a bare metal provider, I hope more people become aware what I've been saying for years: cloud is great for scaling down, but not that great for scaling up. If you w…

No matter what, SK Telecom is going to be eyeball (ingress) heavy and no amount of engineering of Netflix traffic is going to help with that, as it's all inbound anyway. Not that N…

1) It's impractical to test everyone for antibodies. There's enough empirical data to suggest that immunity wanes over time for most people that it makes sense to just give everyon…

Why focus on China and India, when on a per capita basis they have a small fraction of the carbon footprint that we have in Canada and the US? When we can get our per capita carbon…

Not all servers are web facing or live in data centres. There are tons of small businesses that run servers in a backroom. Those are predominantly Windows.

This is not imperative to do in-house. My company (*shameless plug for Astute Internet) has expertise in those areas you describe, and will provide and/or support the edge network …

I've never heard of any data centre burning down (and I work in this industry), so never hearing of an AWS DC burning down isn't really saying anything about AWS.

Customer service in Japan is hands down superior to in the US. Maybe other factors like culture matter more than tipping?

The side effects have also been known for a long time, which is why dosage is carefully monitored in Lupus patients and blindness is an anticipated side effect. My understanding is…

My claim was that the site pushes a blatantly false narrative, not that science is a popularity contest. This paper you've cited supposedly showing positive results is a preprint a…

That site appears to be making some obviously false claims in its analysis. For instance, tt makes this claim: "100% of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) for early, PrEP, or PEP …

The New York Post doesn't have a great track record on being factually accurate though, whereas the Washington Post can reasonably assume articles published by the New York Times h…

This is a much better and thorough critique than I could write up: https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/04/03/zelenko-smith-aba...

Doubts about the efficacy of convalescent plasma already started popping up before Trump started advocating for it, with many papers being published in June and July.

Zelenco has been thoroughly disgraced for ethics violations. His work was so riddled with issues, that it was the subject of ridicule for weeks afterwards by legitimate scientists.…
