Twenty Thousands Leagues inside the Optical Fiber

What actually happens as we post a hundred-character tweet, run npm install, chat with our remote colleagues, and let the operating system updates itself? Numerous interactions are triggered in each of the 7 OSI communication layers but one thing that is not often discussed enough is the very important physical layer. The complicated network of undersea fiber optic cables, with its record-breaking transmission capacity (light can easily send the contents of a stack of Bluray discs in a few milliseconds), is the foundation of modern communication for our civilization.

This talk gives a historical journey of this remarkable achievement, a series of scientific milestones in the recent human history. It covers the topic on how to trap photons inside a hair-thin strand of glass, modulate them to carry some useful information in 40 different wavelengths, force the photons to travel thousands of miles, and finally stitch back the bits and pieces for a full r

Increase the goat teleporter timeout threshold to 100 because the old
value of 10 caused problems for extremely overweight goats. Tests show
that the largest goat in existence should be teleported in 50ms, so...

BUG=31337,2754
TEST=Try loading an overweight goat and confirm the teleporter works.
