Except compatibility. If you're using classic GET and it's enough for you, you aren't affected.

>Publishing by itself does little to advance science

I strongly disagree. Publishing advances science the same way communication advances culture. Imagine Einstein didn't published any of his work. How many decades back in technology and quality of life we'd have been now?

It's like any evolutionary beneficial trait gets transferred to all population in one generation instead of many. It saves precious time.

Will it really help today, when anyone with any serious intent doesn't launch their attacks from one or two standalone hosts, but buys botnet capacity?

>using where it hits to affect the angle never totally made sense to me

I believe different angles add complexity and fun.

I guess AI is the next thing that's still opt-in now, will be opt-out tomorrow and then no-escape. It would be interesting to read a nostalgic thread from 2070...

Don't blame yourself. Not everyone is here for the money, many of us are here for the tech.

Could random packet delays or delay equalization help here (instead of additional packets)?

This doesn't seem to consider or give insight on any tradeoffs involved.

Also, the underlying extension, HypoPG, doesn't seem to collect any statistics on data to influence query planner.
