It's a little bit bigger than Delaware.

This reminded me of when I read license plates aloud on my commute to learn the phonetic alphabet when I was a student pilot.

More than a theory -- they've talked about this on their blog[1] before.

In my experience, you start using the open source version, realize you could benefit from paid support, so you "buy a license" and get your support -- but then you never have a big enough reason to do the lift to the commercial version.


> bizarre and derogatory cartoons/caricatures

One and the same. The illustration of the critic that the cork sniffer was mocking was at best unflattering, and at worst referenced antisemitic stereotypes.

Sort of -- Netflix probably has a CDN cache at the ISP, and the ISP can definitely prioritize that cache. Fast.com will use that CDN if available.

I figure all the triangle stations must have well-connected bus routes going to the same area, and so on down the shapes. I mean surely you're not responsible for building an entire transit system!


It’s obvious in hindsight, but before I lived in the Boston area I never appreciated just how critical it is to have buses to supplement a subway, subway & buses to supplement light rail.

Whenever the idea of light rail came up in my hometown, I would point out to my enthusiastic friends that without a better bus system, there’s not much point to rail.


My suburb has solid light rail to the city but a poor bus system to complement it. My closest bus doesn't run at all on weekends. There is a huge park and ride lot but, since I'm already in my car driving towards my destination, it always ends up being a question of whether I want to deal with a rail ride that might be equivalent to driving inbound but will be at least 30 minutes longer on the return. The deciding factor tends to come down to parking costs in the city or whether I plan to drink and need the long return ride to sober up.


Is there evidence that corporate firewalls commonly block .coop?


Sadly mine does :\ Not that I don't support trying to get it approved, but anyone in a large enough corporation knows that approval for an external source often takes... a very a long time lol


.xyz is open registration and is known to be a spam/abuse source. .coop is restricted to legally-formed cooperatives. Apples and oranges.


I wonder if you can count on some crappy enterprise firewall to make that distinction.


I have a hard time relating to this because whenever I come around a curve in a highway or whatever only to see a wind farm I am always mildly awed.
