<p>When we started wireless ISP in in early 200x, it was common to run 2.4 GHz links  with 5+ km distance, having 24 dB antennas on each side. with the basic 17 dBm radio one was 20 dB over EIRP limit...<p>Here in Czechia, there was also another unlicensed band, 10.5 GHz, that has more sensible regulation - instead of EIRP limit, there was PA limit (power before antenna). So one can do long-range links with large enough antennas and most long range links was later converted to these. Unfortunately as this is local unlicensed band, radios for that were orders of magnitude pricier than generic wifi.</p>

<p>Civil justice is primarily about restoring damages, not about punishing wrongdoing (although common law in US it is more punitive than civil law in european countries). Therefore compensations are based on damages, not on profit from wrongdoings.</p>

<p>Also note that ASPA validation prevents only hijack by peers and customers, not by providers. Due to way how ASPA validation works, providers could always announce to their customers routes with valid-looking AS PATH with hijacked ASN appended at its end.</p>

<p>> Second, many people think that the C runtime doesn't know the amount of memory allocated to an array, but this is actually false. It's just the C abstract model that for some reason chose to not expose this information.<p>There are some counterpoints:<p>1) Conceptually, allocated memory block and data structure / array in it are not related. You can allocate memory block and then subdivide it to multiple different structures / arrays. You can implement sub-allocators.<p>2) Heap allocator does not need to store exact length of allocated object. For example, it could have several fixed-length slab allocators for smaller objects, select matching one during malloc() and use address range to find slab during free().<p>3) Array can be also on the stack (VLA or alloca()).<p>4) Arrays can be also on memory allocated outside of C library allocator (e.g. mmap()).</p>
