Yeah, those are the only two peering points in the area. There are tons of other data centers in the area, but these are also exchanges. Fun fact, Markley Group actually owns that whole building and Macy's is a tenant of theirs. I&#x27

I wish everyone would stop calling it an analog audio port. Yes it's a 1/8th port, but they haven't been purely analog for quite some time.

Yes, Rio sees many visitors regularly. What Rio does not see is an influx of visitors from nearly every country on earth. It's that spread that is the problem. The financial impact on hosting the games is already negative for host citi

It's pretty well known and well documented at this point that the host cities for olympic games see no financial benefit at all, and in fact they lose money. Most recently, look at the Sochi games, which cost $50+bn. There is a 0% chan

When a PaaS/Cloud provider says private networking, they mean RFC1918 address space. It's not publicly routed IP space which is private. So saying they offer private networking is accurate against that long standard definition. Th

The linked article is about package management, not configuration management. Whoever set the title of this post didn't understand the point of the article. From the comments, people seem to confuse and conflate configuration managemen

Somewhere along the line, this concept of a founder/CEO taking a tiny salary got worked into the way start-ups work. Should a founder be paying themselves a huge salary and living it up based on that? No. Should they be able to pay the

Very few protocols fully or properly implement the entire 7 layer OSI stack. Most times you see layers 3-5 lumped together. The way that they are looking at it is that the application (a browser, something else?) is being used to generate H

There is a fundamental flaw in the argument that v1again is making/supporting. The problem with this argument and the math that's always used to support it, is that it comes from the view point of simply making money. If it were as simple a
