this seems to be the most logical course of action taken.

people are capitalizing on the fact that google ranks reddit so highly, but are also bringing the quality down as a result.

it has a stopwatch. It's that simple.

how do you pronounce it? kuberthreeties?

What happens when the roundtrip time isn't consistent?

The roundtrip time is never consistent. Light travels with different speed in fiber depending on the temperature. This is why you calibrate every second.

It's really not tl, tho.

And it contains its own tldr, in the form of "<h2>No. Just No.</h2>".

or thought he could. Isn't that what ultimately took him down?

yes. but apparently he had a group of couriers, so we don't know if the couriers who were running the USB disks to internet café's were the same as the two brothers who owned the house

apparently he had a number of trusted couriers, and judging from what I have read on tracking these couriers down[1], it wouldn't surprise me if he had multiple levels of courier for his email

[1] apparently the couriers were so good at counter-surveillance that even when the CIA had tracked one of the brothers down to Pakistan, it took them two years to link them to the compound, since they both took exhaustive counter-intelligence measures to make sure they were not tracked. amazing story
