Seems like it arrives with a bit more energy than a 10 on richter scale: https://www.edinformatics.com/inventions_inventors/richter_s... No, I can’t really imagine what that means, either.

It's been tried and failed: Sun Microsystems pushed certifications in the 90s. Pass the test on some technology, get the certification. Then they studied performance. The result? More certifications implied a worse employee. The rea

To expand on this, if they tried to land on the water planet where time so dilated that one hour equals 7 months… what would their velocity have been when they contacted the surface? And how much energy did their spaceship need to reach es

Yes, speedify has a lot of smarts around packet loss. It uses up to 8 TCP connections in parallel to avoid slow downs based on loss. But for the kind of burst of massive loss you describe, I'd suggest having a secondary connection it

Alex from Speedify here. Yes, we make a multi-path VPN tunnel, so that calls can be shifted from one link to another without glitches (apps see the same IP address the whole time). To make this work, we do some smart things like retransmi
