Interesting.  I have a script that makes a call to TCC every so often to read
temperature data, and it failed from 8:50AM PST to 10:30AM PST.

RE: "Permanent" DST

I think this is essentially the bill:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/69/text

Not finding anything about 15 degrees.

I don’t follow why cancelling DST has the effect of moving the US fifteen 
degrees to the east. Also, your subject line reads “permanent DST”, but from 
your language the bill will be permanent standard time. 

I haven’t read the bill, but I’m hoping you can explain your position more 
clearly.

RE: New minimum speed for US broadband connections

[Ray Van Dolson via NANOG]

Infrapedia says there is Zayo fiber across the street to the south.  Guessing a 
DIA circuit might be a budget buster though.

You want a specific example?

Friend of mine asked me to help them get better Internet connectivity a few 
weeks ago.

They live here:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Meridian+Woods+Condos/@37.3200394,-121.9792261,17.47z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x808fca909a8f5605:0x399cdd468d99300c!8m2!3d37.3190694!4d-121.9818295
 
[google.com]

Just off of I-280 in the heart of San Jose.

I dug and dug, and called different companies.
The only service they can get there is the 768K DSL service they already have 
with AT

Go ahead.  Try it for yourself.

See what service you can order to those condos.

Heart of Silicon Valley.

Worse connectivity than many rural areas.   :(

In a long ago past life have used nfcapd/nfsen + database and then into
Billmax for invoicing. :)

Sounds like you're after something a bit more turnkey though.
