On a side not, it's super annoying when you want to log in into your router, and google chrome auto completes / suggests it with 192.168.l.l, or ends up doing a google search for 192.168.0.1.

Re:Apple's iCloud+ “VPN”

Does this mean that all DDoS mitigation techniques need to exist before the exit node of this traffic? Which in turn mean, that everyone needs to outsource their DDoS mitigation to Apple.
Also the corollary would be, that anyone who is able to bypass the protection mechanisms Apple has in place to control DDoS, can use it to DDoS a service like Google, Microsoft and get the entire service banned for all iCloud+ users. Right?

My guess is one of the major reasons for having the exit nodes in the same geo location as entry nodes is to have continuous operations in China. Without this constraint, they would have allowed chinese consumers to access the free web, which would ban them instantaneously.
I don't think Apple cares as much about video content providers, though.

"Getting out of the building" in metmorphical send might give you view from people / customers you can visit. This is likely to be a biased sample, and unrepresentative of the true customer.
Running A/B tests is IMO, a good proxy, to understand customers unbiased binary views on feature changes, and objectively better.

91.6% is a good efficacy. Do they have plans to test it against other variants (E501Y mutation)?
Ideally this + the adenovirus based AZD122 seems to be the best combination of (efficacy, affordablility, and logistically feasibility) end for the pandemic.

A lot of movement in GME was driven by call options, which is generally available in all markets. However, absence of overnight short positions would definitely diminish the trigger GME needed to get short squeezed and become volatile in the first place.
