Clue please?

Putin is behind all of it

They already are through selection. China and Russia choose children with favorable genetics for a sport and groom them into competitors.

Nothing illegal about the approach, it’s just creepy to see.

(the news source looks good and worth visiting BTW)

An international team in Japan has set a new record for the fastest internet speed at a blazing 402 terabits per second (Tb/s).

The staggering number is hard to put into perspective. Compared to the average U.S. broadband speeds of around 226 megabits per second, it’s over 1.5 million times faster.

For example, a video game released in 2021, “Call of Duty: Vanguard,” is 170 gigabytes large. With an internet speed of 402 Tb/s, the game would be downloaded in 3 milliseconds. This speed is faster than a blink of an eye — over 3,000% faster.

Back in March, scientists in the United Kingdom set the previous world record for internet speed clocking in at 301 Tb/s. Researchers have increased the speed by over 25% in just a few short months.

Speeds like this are only possible using a fiber optic connection utilizing a multitude of new and different wavelengths to send data across the fiber system. These fiber optic systems will be a technology that will allow “Beyond 5G” information services to work faster than ever, and the technology is expected to become more commonly seen.

Think more like backbone, a bunch of sources and requests all getting there faster.

I run a NUC and a few other network things off a 125W elcheapo $20 bestek(?) inverter off the house battery.

Sure it gets converted twice but actual watts wasted are minimal in a low power scheme, and the juice is cleaner in the end.

And consider DIYing a big house battery. The cells are cheap now. I built a 1200Ah LFP bank just because it fit nicely in the compartment. Then throw some solar at it.

And for backup, just get a large spinning external and plug it in occasionally to sync a copy. Put it back in the Tupperware for cold storage.

Ed: why the downvote?

More like ignore them. It’s been casually effective to date.

What a weird choice to offer: 12 weekends community volunteering, or a full year of your life in the military.

Ed: guessing there must be a pay difference.
The poors will self select the paid military gig because they can’t afford the time off from low pay sustinance jobs to volunteer.

Sherpa are more gods than men, though

Disagree.Plus it saved many spaces after periods

Maybe more a commentary on cultural norms and stereotypes than race?

Let’s hope they figure out how to reduce population gracefully. It’s important to save the planet.

It’s a good reminder of one of the good ones

But danm that formatting could use some cleaning up and brevity to a link

Some brain and a bunch of gut biome I suspect.

Once the sugar eating biome get established they rule the roost.

Thanks but looking for offline solutions

Helping fix the broken countries is a better thing

Let’s hope they can find a way to smoothly transition to a non-growth economy. The planet needs to downsize and someone needs to show the way.
