There are questions that literally say as part of the question "Choose Yes or No", so they've answered "true"...

And Q165 is fun: "Is it likely that consumers will face significant risks if domain names in the TLD(s) in the application are abused?" Answer: "No"

Apparently .agent the most requested with 13 orgs applying for it.

Followed by .bit with 11, and .api, .brand, .hub with 10 each.

And apparently "Link Freedom Group Ltd" has 213 active applications, and "XYZ.COM LLC" has 182 active applications.

I'm guessing that'll end up being expensive for someone...

It may not be an official standard, but it does have some weight as a de-facto standard.

I've tried briefly to try and find some numbers to back that up, but can't find much beyond apple's bonjour vs consumer routers - although I've seen companies with AD domains using .lan as well. (Although, I've also seen companies using 1.0.0.0/8 for their internal addressing...)

I suspect it's less relevant for things that can't be moved. (Or are extremely heavy/difficult to move).

Perhaps not for files, but definitely for equipment.

Clay might be a difficult material to use to make it though.

I'd imagine it could probably be made via CNC or 3D printing or similar.

Although tbh, I've not really used either in anger, so I can't really comment on if that is a raw deal or not. (Beyond the usual dislike of change that will always be encountered).

So agreed, that sounds reasonable.

And maybe fuel economy wasn't great, although I remember hearing that they could use a very wide variety of fuels?

I hadn't realised there had been other attempts as well, including a Jaguar, that get mentioned in your linked Wikipedia article.

Reading around suggests that in order to achieve decent efficiency from a gas turbine, you need quite a few supporting systems that only really make economic sense at larger scales (like the 10's of MW scales, not the 100's of kW).

(Although just from a fun technology angle I'd love to see a gas turbine in a car).

Mostly breaks concentration/focus etc.

An "ess queue ell", but a "sequel".

It felt like a simple (rather brute force) filter that cut out a lot of potential noise/malicious activity

(Edit: although I should add that I'm hopeful that things have improved there over the last few years).

They always seemed a bit pointless, and died out with crossovers I suspect.

Although it is super easy to just pop the individual fibres out of the clip holding them together and flip them round.

The biggest polarity issue I see are with mtp/mpo cassettes, especially with multiple spans, you always seem to need to cross something there.

I'm assuming that's a country specific/dependent thing?
