Its also for security.. outside the US, you still cant use a regular phone with the omnipod.

Security… The PDM is walled off completely, it cant install apps, its not on wifi, you cant change any settings. The issue is that a PDM technically could easily kill you, by giving you a lethal dose of insulin.

Funny thing is that the newer Omnipod 5 from the same company works with regular phones now, but only in th US.

In this instance, they sre trying out libre office

Yeah the first thing isnt 100% true, there is no law here in Denmark, but in many many schools, kids hand over their phones in the morning, and get them back at the end of the day. Is up to the schools how they want to handle it

I would guess about 10% of an ISPs customers are gamers. Maybe lower. Again game updates are not that big, compared to your connection, so most of the day your connection is idle

Yeah.. they are not.. even tens of GiB per day is not a lot compared to your connections 1000gb/s. Netflix 4k stream is not the norm, and still only about 20mb/s so you would need to be running 50 4k streams, and even then, chances are you neighbours out of the house, or flipping instagram, so the bandwith is available..

Btw netflix did colocate with isps at one point, they might still do.

I worked at a large ISP and telco in my youth, and ofc this is how its done, its been this way forever, and is also basicly how phone networks where and are built, because you know that everyone is not going to call everyone at the same exact time, so you use an Erlang B calculation to figure out what you actually need..

For reference ths ISP i worked for, that was pretty damn big, started out with 40 modems, and that lasted a looong time..

Btw. Biggest issue with traffic when i worked there was the advent of p2p sharing, that required massive upgrades

Google already does this

Well dosent Apple usually prepay? Thats normally why they get preferential treatment.

In accrual accounting payment has very little connection to when revenue is recognized. In order for revenue to be recognized the product has to ship.

It's more complicated than this, accounting as a field exists pretty much because there's intricate sets of rules and ways to interpret them. Here, my understanding is a good accountant would say not to recognize the revenue until you consider it shipped -

i.e. if you agree to pay me a bajillion dollars for a time machine with an out clause of no cash if no delivery, that doesn't mean I get to book a bajillion dollars in revenue

over the top example, but this was the general shape of much Enron chicanery, booking speculative revenue based on coming to terms on projects they were in no shape to deliver, so its very much an accounting 'code smell' if 'code smell' meant 'attracts regulators attention'

I think this case is how do you book you paying one billion cash today for a time machine sometime next Tuesday of next year?

Accrual accounting says even if you have the money it’s not “yours” until the product ships.

Fashion has moved on, so the anorexic has been largely replaced with bikini fitness. This is not a joke. You will also find that among bikini fitness athletes, you will find a lot who have been previously anorexic.
