You haven’t really explained “why”, it’s just that there are two roads to YouTube and nobody complains when IPv6 is faster.

It’s not about how people write them, it’s how parsers parse them. IPv4 has been around since 1982, and most parsers interpret leading zeros as octal.
Because 1.2.3.4 and 1.02.003.04 both map to the same number.
But 10.20.30.40 and 010.020.030.040 map to different numbers. It’s often best to reject IPv4 addresses with leading zeroes to avoid the decimal vs. octal ambiguity.
Interesting, that does appear to solve the same problem.
In my decades of using web browsers, I can’t say that I’ve ever tried dragging text to the address bar. That’s not very discoverable, and the drag action messes with the page’s scroll position.
Kyjov is 1000 km from Kyiv.


It’s not like these elements are disappearing into the void. If we start running out of something, the price will increase, and we’ll either find alternatives or put more effort into recycling.
For example, see the increasing use of LiFePO4 batteries, without nickel or cobalt.
They have used “BNL” officially. I recall they had an Enhanced CD (maybe Rock Spectacle) with a video that began “This is BNL TV”, but I can’t find a copy on the internet.
They mostly shit CO₂, which thankfully doesn’t cause any problems.


Self-driving trucks will never be 100% autonomous. They will need a reliable data connection to a control center so humans can figure out how to deal with exceptional situations.
There will probably be occasional stupid traffic jams until the technology is perfected. As long as they avoid murderous rampages, we should be okay.


They’re saying $2.99 because it sounds better than $36/year.


The battery can deliver a stable voltage output of 1.25 V and a capacity of 110 mAh/g
110 mAh/g * 1.25 V * 1000 g/kg = 137 Wh/kg.
Lithium ion is around 250 Wh/kg, so this battery is around twice as heavy.


What else is there to eat in the ocean, that isn’t already being eaten?
I would be more worried about something eating plastic while we’re still using it.
Which tablet? I checked every device on https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?sQuickSearch=yes&sName=nexus, and none have Mini USB. There were two Nexus 7 tablets with Micro USB.
Google’s own Nexus devices had mini-USB connectors.
I was addressing this point in particular. There were no “Nexus” devices with MiniUSB, so it was clear quite early that Google considered MicroUSB to “the right port” for Android.
The first “Google phone” was the HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) with MiniUSB. Next was the Nexus One with MicroUSB. Everything after used MicroUSB until the Nexus 5X with USB-C.
Xfinity NOW is only $30/month for 100/20 Mbps with no data cap. Not sure if it’s available in all Comcast areas though. If you’re an existing customer you have to query a neighbor’s address because they’d rather you not switch.
