You know what makes bike lanes more appealing and safer (amongst other things)? Not being next to speeding cars.

> Corn kind of reproduces itself every year (If you don't get the GMO kind), so you only need natural resources to continue to grow it right? Water, sunlight and labor?

At industrial scale, it has a huge petro-chemical fertiliser input.

There's always going to be a computer in it to drive it. It's just a matter of how generalised it is and how much weight/power consumption it's adding.

Yeah exactly. With realtime, a dropped packet is often too old by the time it's re-transmitted. It's actually harmful to wait for it when you'd rather just skip it and move on and stay as close to realtime as possible. It's a very different usecase from most uses.

I do wish QUIC allowed carrying streams that were useful for realtime in conjunction with allowing reliable streams. Using MPEG-TS over SRT to have it just spam metadata to handle the unreliableness is janky. It would be far nicer to have a reliable stream for metadata, then an unreliable one for realtime streaming.

A one-off consultation prior to his road racing career to see if he the right kind of fitness for road. I don't think the association should be used to tarnish Cadel without further evidence.
