How are they going to meter the traffic? Trust Netflix to report the numbers? (Pinky promise this is the true number;-)) Or request French ISP to monitor and analyze the traffic to know what went to which server?

Sequential implies a sequence, ie many tasks. One single task can't be sequential or parallel. Or you are talking about a feature that is broken in multiple sequential tasks.

This sound to me like havin a single tool. Only a hammer and every problem looks like a nail...

Rabbit used to be the meat of the poor where I grew up. If you could not afford meat (beef/pork), you could always raise 5 to 10 rabbits in boxes in your garden and feed them with the grass from the road sides.

This. CRA only means that you need to assess with 24/72h that you are affected or not by a published CVE.

Then there is no time limit to provide a mitigation. It should just be worked out without unnecessary delays. Once a mitigation is published, a report should be submitted with 14 days.

Just an hypothesis:

A supermarket may have 30 freezers. You don't want them to beep loudly if someone forgot to close the door. Instead you connect them to a central monitor. A local employee can see on the monitor which freezer has a problem and go see the issue.

The monitoring is as well a proof that the cold chain was kept.

This network was local to the market. Then one day it was found better to collect these data to a modern dashboard, and so the local network ends on corporate network.

Thanks for the link to this wiki. There are so many traits I feel related to, I can now procrastinate the whole day there.

Unrelated question: what is the keyboard on the last picture of the post?

> You never know piece of trivial information may prove vital down the road. You also don't know how long in the future a current piece of critical information will stay critical.

When our house was built, the water company workers spend a day digging on the side of the road to search for the fresh water pipe, but they could not find it. A retired neighbor walked by and told them, that the road has been straightened and one bend removed 10 years ago. As their map was not updated, the actual pipe was 5m from where they were digging. Trivial piece of information missing.

In France and Belgium it is common for farmers in the area of former battle of WWI to collect unexploded ordinance while ploughing in autumn. Sometimes the bombs have been dropped and not exploded. Sometimes it is an old stock along the line that was not used as the line moved.

> Thank you. I definitely read this as million.

A small letter `m` would be for milli, aka 10^-3, if it is suffixed by a unit. A `m` alone is the SI unit for length. A capital `M` is the prefix for Mega, aka 10^6.

Please use the normalized units. The starting price for this auction is 300 k£ or about 400 kUS$.
