Quote from: DGuller on October 08, 2025, 04:24:39 PMYeah, probably, but I would argue that the convergence of exclusion criteria by landlords is a case of boycott, even if unwitting.

Stadiums are a good example, everyone had to text after a spectacular play. This would overwhelm the network and we would always over-dimension the network in known problem areas. I was reminded of that when I saw this very British technological record in the IEEE Spectrum:A partner at the law firm I used to work with got to visit the National Grid Control Room, which I was very jealous of:
They have stories of things like the royal wedding and the 2003 Rugby World Cup final (in Australia, so in the morning here) and needing to make sure they've got supply on stream for those surges
