NEW FIBER OPTICS TECH SMASHES DATA RATE RECORD (4 MINUTE READ) [8]

Researchers from Japan and the UK have smashed the world record for fiber-optic communications through commercial-grade fiber by producing
data rates four times as fast as existing commercial systems. They
achieved this by using optical amplifiers to boost signals across less frequently used communication bands. The system can push 402 terabits
per second (Tbps) through the kinds of fiber-optic cables that are
already in the ground and underneath the oceans. The researchers
believe that it may be possible to push even further and reach up to
600 Tbps speeds.

THE RIGHT KIND OF STUBBORN (13 MINUTE READ) [13]

Persistence and obstinance may seem similar, but they're different
kinds of behavior. Obstinate people won't listen - that's not true of
all determined people. Persistent people are attached to goals,
whereas the obstinate are attached to their ideas about how to reach
them. Obstinate people are often disproportionately likely to be
attached to the wrong details. Persistence often requires one to
change their mind. Successful people are often most engaged when you
disagree with them.
