The advertisers can see the traffic coming in from clicks, I would think. There would remain some opportunity for fraud by FB if some of the ad money is just for impressions but it seems like it would be difficult to keep click rate up while shorting the buyer on impressions.
That is the rise from one year ago in the "less-volatile PPI metric that excludes food, energy and trade services". This month was a 0.6% rise. So some people might think about how more months of 0.6% rise would cause the yearly one to increase gradually, up to 7.2% eventually if there are 12x 0.6% months. That would be pretty high.
And then headline figure PPI was even higher at 0.9% for the month, 3.3% year.
I don't know, everywhere I look I see IT staff who don't care that much and can't problem solve. One possibility is that the IT leadership is herding cats very effectively and that things could be much much worse.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’ve worked in plenty of organizations where politics takes preference over outcomes, and every middle manager and senior leader wants their pound of flesh before allowing the objectively right thing to happen. These people then promote each other into higher tiers, because modern shareholders couldn’t care less about business effectiveness when share buybacks will juice their earnings - and the C-Suite’s.
It’s a perverted reward hack by leadership, and nobody - governments, shareholders, boardrooms, regulators, etc - seems to give a shit.
What's more likely, worst tsunami ever, beyond previous safety stones? Or company shortcuts safety and falls over because they failed to account for predictable circumstances?
Given the latter happens constantly, and the former is once in generations upon generations, I think it's safe to assume the problem is human and the tsunami was within historical ranges.
Especially since other reactors were hit by the same tsunami and were fine.
I used this at Menards two days ago. The product location told me where the item was. Turned out that aisle g94 wasn’t aisle 94 but a kiosk at the end of aisle 27 on the other side of the store (these numbers are made up I don’t recall the specifics). I still had to ask a human where it was. So yeah not there yet and this type of service could really help.
Consider that a QSFP28 module uses four 25gbps lanes to support sending one single 100gbps flow. So electronics do exist that can easily do what you are asking. I think it is just the economics of doing it for the various ports on a switch, lack of a standard, etc.
SFP/QSFP/PCIe etc., are combining multiple lanes originating from a physical bundle of limited size; transmitters could easily share a single clock source. The wire protocol includes additional signalling that lets the receiver know how to recombine the bits coming over each lane in the correct order.
In contrast, Ethernet link aggregation lets you combine ports that can be arbitrarily far apart -- maybe not even within the same rack (see MC-LAG). Ethernet link aggregation doesn't add any encapsulation or sequencing information to the data flows it manages.
You can imagine an alternate mechanism which added a small header to each packet with sequence numbers; the other end of the aggregation would then have to remove that header after sorting the packets in order..
Trump won by <1% in an election against a candidate who lost her only attempt at a primary and during a time period where western incumbents saw a 10+% drop due to their handling of covid inflation.
2024 isn't a story of how Trump outwitted his opponents but one of how his opponents tied their shoelaces together.
