all Tinder cares about is keeping you swiping, with your eyes on the screen.

same here. i can pay 120 for cable tv and internet at 250mbps, or 100 for internet that is 50mbps.

but my town is a monopoly. i have zero other internet/cable choices.

When i was in school in the 2000s file sharing basically crippled the campus network until it was banned. A few bad actors were hoarding all the bandwidth and storing copyright violation stuff on school servers.

It’s the protocols more than anything.

stuff with this speeds existed already, it just wasn’t via USB. it was expensive proprietary protocols and hardware and cables. USB is an open standard design for consumer use, and not for giant corps with datacenters who can pay $2,000 for a single data cable.

Thunderbolt is basically a data-transfer focused version of USB, and just requires a different controller that supports the new protocols to achieve the higher speeds.

multiplexing is one way to achieve higher bandwidth and throughput over the same physical cable.

vast majority of money in the USA system goes to middle men who get rich, yep.

less and less of it goes to patients and medical staff each year.

not to mention the disparity in general medicene practical (which the bulk of patients use) and super specialties (which see 5x the pay as a general doctor), which is why have an abundance of specialty doctors but not enough primary care physicians.

because the us govt doesn’t give a shit about monopolies.

EU might get up in their shit though.
