Not too mention that tariffs also caused the Great Depression in 20s.

Seeing questions like this is so scary that so many people don’t get that simple concept.

Seeing stuff like this is mind blowing: https://youtube.com/shorts/bf3sLnZ0S04

Tariffs is just a fancy name for tax that you pay if you buy something from another country. The producers in that country already got paid, you pay that tax when the product is crossing the border.

Three streaming (like pointed in the other comment) was my initial reaction too, but indeed at the time https for streaming would be very rare.

Another possibility is to realize that openssl isn’t just for communication, but also has implementation of cryptographic algorithms.

Perhaps openssl was used for validation of licensing key? For example they could sign the license with their private key and WinAmp could verify it’s authenticity with its public key.

If that broke the software it sounds like you have a very good tester.

If I had this requirement I would just generate a file of specific size, place it on one server and on the other I would have a shell script running via cron and measure the time it took to download the file.

It seems like a relatively simple problem.

BTW are you sure you want to test download speed and not latency? I think some routers might have the later built in.

I guess no one offered anything for .internal

I see. I would love to be proven wrong, but I don’t see a way this would work with tabs/spaces in python.

Perhaps I don’t understand you, but I don’t think there’s a way to override spaces in python in any way. The spaces are handled by the parser.

I don’t think of it as a problem.

I have it set to close after a week, but still reaching a point when ff no longer bothers to count them.

You must never have tried tree style tabs extension.

The old Opera when it used the Pesto engine was even better at it.

I believe literally everyone who used Opera had the habit of having a lot of tabs. They were extremely lightweight.

Sadly they abandoned the engine and now Opera is yet another chrome clone.

You pay the premium price to feel better about the same thing.

Apple appears to be double dipping. I don’t use apple products beyond a MacBook. Why for example the laptop has a unique advertiser id (which looks like it can’t even be disabled in newer os versions)?

LOL, “your communication cannot go through our service that we can monitor, so somebody else might be spying on you, black is white, war is peace, freedom is slavery”

From my experience all the time (probably even more) it saves me is wasted on spotting bugs and the bugs are in very subtle places.

This is what it is called a programming language, it only exists to be able to tell the machine what to do in an unambiguous (in contrast to natural language) way.

Sure, but my point is that if it is implemented right, you won’t even know you’re using IPv6 until you check network configuration.

If IPv6 is done right you don’t even know you have it. If you use a cell phone or a home Internet, there is a high chance you are already using IPv6.

This is not “perfect is enemy of good” it would be if I was arguing about MIT vs GPL etc.

By signing CLA you’re surrendering copyright to the company and this allows them do do whatever they wish with your contribution, including switching back to closed source.

Hashicorp was able to change license of their products exactly thanks to CLA.
