• BBC中文网 - 大家谈中国 - 大家谈中国：评论《“假宽带”为什么能“真存在”？》

  • 大陆网民不但饱受中国电信“乱宰”，还在饱受中国电信“乱欺诈”；明明是“狗肉”，非要挂着“羊头卖”。中国网民绝大多数用户使用“假宽带”浮出水面。据了解，使用4M宽带的用户中，平均速度在400KB/s以下的占91.2%；使用2M宽带平均速度在200KB/s以下的占83.5%；使用1M宽带在100KB/s一下的则占67.6%；多数用户办理的固网宽带带宽为2M或4M，而2M带宽下用户平均上网速度为142.2KB每秒，4M则为232.7KB每秒。全国固网宽带用户平均上网速度为199.3KB每秒，与名义速度差异极大。
    

• NASA telescopes help find rare galaxy at dawn of time | KurzweilAI

  • The galaxy, which was discovered and confirmed using ground-based telescopes, is 12.9 billion light-years away. Data from Spitzer and Hubble were used to measure the galaxy’s high star production rate, equivalent to about 100 suns per year. For reference, our Milky Way galaxy is about five times larger and 100 times more massive than GN-108036, but makes roughly 30 times fewer stars per year.
