  • I’m guessing you don’t work in corporate environment or no longer work from home.

    There are times when video is expected to be on, but you don’t want to show your room to everyone.

    Having said that I can’t think of firefox being able to stream video yet not being able to do this, so likely it is Google’s way to make its competitor look subpar. Probably can be fixed by spoofing user agent. Ironically the most recent change in Chrome will make this very difficult in the future.




  • With ISP what is really need is Local-loop unbundling but extending to ISPs.

    Those that are old enough to use DSL in early 2000, might remember there was a lot of ISPs to chose from. The reason for it was that due to Title II telco companies were required to lease lines to their competitors. When cable started to be popular, ISPs lobbied politicians to categorize it under Title I which removed that requirement. We got Internet back to be categorized as Title II, but this specific rule was excluded and this is what is necessary to bring the competition.









  • It is notoriously hard to replicate things in labs, especially with material science.

    This was attempt to do it within 2 days of the paper being published.

    To add to that, the original researchers apparently had 10% successes rate in their lab, they wanted to perfect it before publishing their paper.

    Bad luck was that it leaked, so to make sure somebody else doesn’t get credit for their work they published what they had within hours.

    It likely will take months before this will be verified.
