As per @nrki's comment;

> I think if you are brought up on mutton, then mutton tastes great

No one has been "brought up on" any kind of meat further ago than the last 100 years or so, people couldn't afford it. People kept animals until they were old and had no other purposes (like milk or wool) before they were killed for meat.

Depends on the spice and the part of the world you're talking about. Chilli was/is used heavily in Mexico and India to add or mask flavour but, also they also have antibacterial and anti inflammatory properties in countries were you have / have had large concentrations of poor people.

Classical French Haute cuisine is heavily flavoured with fats (butter and creame) which required a lot of milk to create, i.e. the yield is low considering how much precious milk one had to put in. That was something that was at the time exclusively for the wealthy.

Here in the UK that is the case but, not for spices but for herbs. If you're from the UK you'll know that mint source with your Sunday roast is very common. It was invented by the Welsh to make their old lamb/mutton taste better.

But "baby" (in this example) is the most common word I use. That is data too. Perhaps there is a part of the country were "baby" is more commonly used than anywhere else. Perhaps there is a part of the country where only "baby" is used. Maybe there is somewhere were its scarcely used.

Admitedtly I don't have their data set but I do see it as valid data/an answer. For example, they may have found that in one part of the country (because you can submit your location at the end) everyone uses "baby" and "sprog" and no others and that combination is unique to that area.

"How do you refer to your mother?"

I say "mother", why is that not in the list of predefined answers!?!

"Which of these words (if any) would you use for a baby?"

Baby. I say "baby" to describe a baby. How is this also not in the list of common answers!

I say many words for many things, e.g. I also say "sprog" for baby which was one of the predefined answers. What I can't understand is why these predefined answer sets don't contain the question word, do people really use (for example) "baby" less frequently than "sprog" to refer to a baby so it wasn't listed? Seems unlikely to me.

Under the section "Cell towers moving from microwave to fiber optic" it is stated that 50-100Mbps backhaul links for cell towers are common. We're well beyond that; 5G trial sites they are starting to appear across the UK need 100G backhauls unless you want to severely restricted them.

No, 1 million people didn't try to get on the planes at the same time.

I assume there are a lot of famous technologies accredited to a company, I'd love to know the names of some of the engineers and researchers behind some of the great inventions that we simply credit to XYZ Inc.

Thanks for the info. When 3D printing started to blow up I brushed it off due to the plastic waste I would produce. I need to look into it again it seems.

I don't know squat about 3D printing. Is the plastic biodegradeable, otherwise you end up replace things (like the bouquet) with things that aren't recyclable / don't biodegrade ?

I would never work for one of those companies, their ethics and morals are disgraceful.

Edit: sorry didn't understand all the letters in the acronym. I don't think Netflix are bad, Apple I'm on the fence, Goog/Face/Amaz no way.

Its difficult for the "average user" (define as you please) to know what what path should look like though. Lots of ISPs will have private peerings to others ISPs/content providers/carriers etc. which aren't publically listed anywhere.

I would guess that the author copied the results into a table and prettified them and added in details like location.

At the top of the screenshot it says "traceroute from London to ..." - no traceroute program knows where it is in the world!

Also the locations of each hop in traceroute NY > Chicago > Ashburn etc., no traceroute program will know where in the world those IPs are. I suspect the author has guestimated based on the reverse DNS record for the IPs and latency.

Traceroute does have the ability to show you the ASNs in a path but that is based on a WHOIS lookup of the IPs that it's discovering. So it could be wrong by assuming the IP address of each hop was announce by the ASN that owns it.
