Technically speaking the first LTE specification didn’t meet 4G requirements either, so for a short while you could get two different fake 4Gs.

6G market entry is planned for around 2030 with first specifications being finished around 2027-28, there have always been around 10 years between generations.

10/10 would use.

The ECHR is not an EU court, it’s a Council of Europe court, different organisation.

Edit: To make things more confusing, the EU is in negotiations about joining the Council of Europe.

Never had any problems. Did you used to log into an account, maybe that makes a difference?

Streaming services aren’t much better, they regularly didn’t have what I wanted to watch and I’m not subscribing to more than one. Now I’m subscribing to none and watch what I want instead of what Netflix has available.

But HN is also mostly tech biz.

Great, so I guess the future of terrorism will be fueled by people learning programming and figuring out how to make emps so they can send the murder robots back to where they came from.

Eh, they could’ve done that without AI for like two decades now. I suppose the drones would crashland in a rather destructive way due to the EMP, which might also fry some of the electronics rendering the drone useless without access to replacement components.

Not sure that existed, but how would it work? There were no accounts and IPs are ephemeral.

Not an expert on trademark law, but I think “Threads by Meta” would not work as the main part of that name would still be “Threads”, “Meta Threads” could work, but if they’d make the “Meta” part not prominent in the branding then again it would probably be considered as only “Threads”.

What’s wrong with TPB?

It’s absolutely useless, but extremely fast at what it does.

How would those microcells be legal? It’s not just that 3G or whatever gets shut down, the frequencies are usually reallocated to something else so you can’t legally operate a 3G network on those frequencies anymore.

Frequency isn’t that relevant, it’s frequency bandwidth. The bit rate is n/T with n being bits per symbol and T symbol duration which itself is 1/B with B being the frequency bandwidth. You want to increase the bit rate you can either increase the number of bits per symbol or increase the frequency bandwith. 5G allows bandwiths up to 400MHz per channel, there isn’t enough space in the lower frequency ranges for such large bandwidths, so you go up.

Yes, use C++, but with extern "C" for everything so you can easily interface with other software. That limits you to no classes or namespaces, but internally you can use smart pointers, vectors, maps and actual strings.

This isn’t exlusively about Threads.

Sounds great, but in the end it just means everyone has to host their own instance. That could be interesting, but I doubt everyone would want to do that.

Handling cash isn’t free either, it has to be transported, counted and probably insured, all that costs money.

I read several different drafts I could find since writing that comment and although it’s alll written somewhat vague in general, OP’s point isn’t in any draft I read.

No, those are separate. It’s about open source projects that have developers working on it in their free time (not getting paid for it) and developers who get paid for it. You having a job as a software developer and working on a project outside your work time doesn’t make it a “commercial activity”.
