Bandwidth

Bandwidth is the maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over a network connection, typically measured in bits per second (bps). It's like the width of a pipe - the bigger the pipe, the more water (or in this case, data) can flow through it at once.

How to use it in a sentence

  • I can't believe the marketing team is complaining about slow load times on the site - maybe if they stopped uploading 4K videos and using up all the bandwidth, it wouldn't be an issue.

  • Did you hear about the new 6G network? Apparently it's going to have enough bandwidth to download the entire Netflix library in 0.3 milliseconds - finally, a use case for all those 8K TVs no one actually needs.

If you actually want to learn more...

  • Stop Abusing the Mann-Whitney U Test (MWU) - Analytics-Toolkit.com provides a variety of resources and tools for A/B testing, including warnings about misusing statistical tests like the Mann-Whitney U test.

  • Experiment Interpretation and Extrapolation - This blog post explores the complexities and challenges of tuning recommendation algorithms, advocating for simple, transparent optimization methods.

  • Spam Resources - Paul Graham's page offers an extensive list of resources for spam detection and prevention, including legal information, technical guides, and various anti-spam tools (in case you need to free up some bandwidth by getting rid of those pesky spam emails).

We evaluated Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, Split, and Eppo, but ultimately selected Statsig due to its comprehensive end-to-end integration. We wanted a complete solution rather than a partial one, including everything from the stats engine to data ingestion.
