You're getting a lot of comments correctly pointing out that ARPANET was actually invented by the US in the 1970s and was the precursor to the Internet. I think it's your question which is phrased incorrectly, and not the point you're trying to make. Assuming this and rephrasing your question to mean the World Wide Web (not the Internet), you're correct, that was created by Tim Berners-Lee while working at CERN in the 1990s, approximately 20 years after ARPANET. This brought along Hypertext websites, and basically was another step in the foundation of the internet as we know it today.

So rephrasing your question to "why do americans assume they invented the web (websites)?", it's mainly because the underlying infrastructure of the internet was originally developed by the US government, so even before websites existed, domain names were heavily American leaning, with .gov being US Government websites, and .edu being US Universities, etc. Other countries at the time had ccTLD for their country code, like .uk, .au, etc and when it came time to assign domain names, they chose to use .co.uk or .com.au for example, rather than .com.

I assume that americans rarely encounter a .com.au or other ccTLD domain names, and largely are going to .com websites. They probably assume that the .au TLD was tacked on to support Australia because they didn't invent the internet.

is this an instance thing, so like if it appears empty to me, that means there has not been any new posts since someone on the instance I'm on subscribed?

Is there a really a quota on the CSAM detection, or do you mean catbox would only get a free 1GB of storage? No one's saying that Cloudflare would give away 1 PB of traffic for free, obviously catbox would have to pay for it. Still though, Cloudflare or another CDN adds a lot of value which would be hard to replicate.

At that volume, you need to scale a lot, which is what CDNs are designed to do. Moving 1 PB a month in traffic would be like a sustained upload speed of 3 Gbps for an entire month, which is huge for any ISP, and cost a lot. You'd probably need to divide the traffic going out which means multiple ISP connections, and more machines for redundancy. Probably at that scale, connections are coming from all over the world, so to reduce latency, you'll need locations in multiple continents to serve quicker. As you can probably tell, this becomes more than just one time purchases and electricity costs.

CDNs have dedicated fiber links between geographic locations and negotiated volume discount rates on bandwidth with other ISPs. From a cost and a reliability perspective, it means you can deliver content for less than hosting it all on your own.

Am I so out of touch?

I think the criteria is that both women talking need to be named. The point being that if the same rules were applied to men in film, it would be easy for everything to pass, but when applied to women, unfortunately it's difficult for many films to pass the criteria, or require a lot of scrutiny.

She’s going to be glad she doesn’t have to go through whatever is next alone. Neither Mark nor Helly have any plan, but whatever it is they’re doing it together.

Also that final scene was very similar to the ending of The Graduate, which had the same sort of theme. In both cases, they have no plan and no clue what to do next after running away together.

Fascinating episode. I remember vaguely the events playing out in real time, great to hear about it in more detail and from the primary source. This is one of the best podcasts out there.

TBH I don't remember much about this one, but the sendoff to Chadwick Boseman was very well done, and captured the emotion we all felt of his loss.

He voiced John Redcorn for those who don't want to click through to TMZ:

Joss was the voice of John Redcorn in "King of the Hill." He also landed a big part in "Parks and Recreation" as Chief Ken Hotate. And he had small roles in TV shows such as "Tulsa King," "Ray Donovan," and films like "True Grit" and "The Magnificent Seven."

Maybe it's a product of its time, but I had a week off in 2009 and went through the first two seasons very quickly that week. IIRC, it being on Netflix in the early days let people binge it and contributed to its success while it was still airing which made it very popular. I'd venture to say it may be one of the first bingeable shows, but because that wasn't a thing at the time, it didn't follow the bingeable formula, so maybe that's why it doesn't feel like modern bingeable shows?

How many sites are we talking about? I have like 600 passwords in my password manager, it would be insane to try to remember each of the rules for when I changed the password last.

Clone High and Sealab 2021 are both so good. 20 years later and they're still stuck in my head.
