Bitcoin is deflationary. There is a hard limit on the total number of bitcoins that will ever exist. Every so often, the reward for mining a block is halved. Eventually there will be effectively zero reward for mining at all.

That might have been true a decade ago. But GPUs and FPGAs have long been obsolete for mining Bitcoin.

Mining is happening on custom silicon in large-scale operations. They specifically observed several of those large-scale operations in multiple nations and extrapolated out. I don’t see how that methodology is flawed.

I asked DALLE-2 for a “wide shot of a delivery driver in a Louisiana bayou with bagged food” and it gave me this:

That’s certainly a fascinating way to interpret “bagged food.”

If you’re going to run fiber cables, run two or three. At least two.

You don’t want to do that twice if you don’t have to. And if you need to troubleshoot your layer 1 at some point in the future, it’s a lot less frustrating to have a good spare versus having to run more later just for testing.

I would go with 2 in aggregate (if you have the ports) + 1 spare.

But yes, fiber would definitely be a better option if you have enough clearance to run it without kinking it. Might even be cheaper depending on the cost of copper these days. The real cost is usually in the SFP+ modules.

Definitely do some research on the switches that you have before you buy the modules and cabling. Certain modules can be finicky with certain switches.

Do you have room to keep one quiet switch in the existing closet? Maybe mounted to the ceiling?

Can you run 4 uplink cables from the closet to the basement?

Fanless managed switches with 4x 10G uplink ports and at least 16x 1G access ports are reasonably cheap (minutes transceivers, of course). For example:

If you can fit the cost into your budget, use CAT8 for your uplinks. That way if you ever do decide to upgrade your access network to 10G, you can bump your 4x uplink up to 25G without having to rewire.

Not that you’ll probably ever need that much bandwidth in a house in the next decade or two.

Net neutrality would not control that

Even if this change is only temporary, it still improves things for that time.

That could very well not be the case. Major policy changes like these require a lot of preparation and are often scheduled to actually take effect on a far future date. So it could end up getting reverted again before it even happens.

I want to preface this by saying I am genuinely asking. I did a bunch of searching and only found articles about what may or what could…

But can anyone name concrete examples of what actually did change for them after the end of net neutrality?

Again, I am genuinely asking. I support net neutrality. But I cannot recall any way that the repeal actually affected me personally.

Please share your stories.

Apple had planned to have its modem chip ready to use in the new iPhone models. But tests late last year found the chip was too slow and prone to overheating. Its circuit board was so big it would take up half an iPhone, making it unusable.

Considering how bad some generations of Qualcomm chips have been about this, the Apple chip must have been seriously bad.

“Just because Apple builds the best silicon on the planet, it’s ridiculous to think that they could also build a modem,” said former Apple wireless director Jaydeep Ranade, who left the company in 2018, the year the project began.

Well yeah. It’s certainly much easier when you start with ARM reference designs. Apple has what, the modem IP they bought from Intel? A company that, for all its prowess, decided to give up the modem market after only a few years rather than continue to refine the modem that they already brought to market?

Even Samsung gives in and uses Qualcomm modems in the US. And they’re a major provider of the baseband hardware on the other end of the connection!

Apple will get there. But there is no way that their aggressive timeline was ever reasonable. Gotta make big promises to the shareholders, I guess.

The metric was that it is no more effective than placebo. It is a very old drug and was grandfathered in from a time before modern standards.

The FDA was told this by researchers in 2007, but they wanted mOrE dAtA.

Edit to add: It does have more effectiveness when used nasally as opposed to orally.
