Sure, I'm perfectly ready to admit I'm shit at it. I just don't want this to have to be something I good at.

Per gp, it's consumption. Perhaps you haven't been eating enough steel to appreciate the demand.

What makes you think you're a potential customer for them?

I was referring to the family / kids but more than the 10 years.

If what you're saying is "that's what I'm looking for but I wouldn't say it..."

I dunno, that seems like exactly the sort of thing people would complain about.

Fwiw this perspective (talking about expectations of age, family status, background as conditions) would get you kicked as far away as possible from any hiring decisions where I work. I think mostly for legal / dei reasons to my understanding, but your whole statement reads like a radioactive hr bomb to me.

Isn't YouTube operating at a larger scale? I'd think certainly in terms of storage and unique bytes served, maybe comparable in terms of total bytes served?

Or maybe I'm way underestimating the size of the Netflix library, but my impressions is it extremely tiny by comparison to YouTube.

They haven't made this assumption, they've explicitly stated there was not sufficient data but acknowledged that other people not covered by the survey exist.

It's weirdly both such a big number and such a small number.

15k is a ton for many people and probably well more than the inconvenience this one guy suffered.

But it's insubstantial compared to the cost of this case turning into a class action and getting the city to actually have to change something, and it sounds like it's insubstantial compared to the total harm of this program. Especially cases like the woman who was nearly arrested.

Sure, but none of this is free. That's all extra work that has to happen. The fact that I'm doing it in "down time" doesn't make it free, I have a million other things I could theoretically do at any given down time.

Not to say this work is necessarily not worth the cost, but it absolutely costs something.

I think they must be stacked based on their description of amp as most of their traffic when it's the lowest line, but I agree the graph design is bewildering and does not read to me as stacked without thinking hard about what they are saying.

The usg, for whatever that piece of software says on the tin. Unless you are just asking if there is any closed source software anywhere which provides value not totally replicable using oss, which seems like a silly question.

What do you mean "a place"? No one is making you buy nasdaq, just stick with government bonds.

Frankly in my experience the literal opposite is true. I and the people around me trust technology less and less with time.

I've become a big Google meet shill. It works great, it's easy to get people onto it, quality is quite good. I've heard it can fall apart with really big groups of people, but never had any problems up to about 10, and beyond that I don't really care.

This is a fairly core feature they're removing from a product they already sold.

I also liked that they don't make any attempt at claiming this is for any reason other than more money. No "oh our new models are too powerful to run locally" or "oh for security reasons" or whatever. Which would be pretty transparent bullshit but I think a lot of companies would try anyways. This literally admits that the cloud functionality is identical, just paid per use.

Imo if you bought the product in this state, fine, but if you bought it before they probably ought to have to grandfather you in forever.

I think as in real estate agents helping you sell your house vs selling their own house?

While this is technically true, I think a developed-ish nation might blow up your electric facilities before it would destroy a city.

Wouldn't it be one without gc? Gc collects the garbage and disposes of it, whereas in other languages it just piles up :D

I'm terrified of this. I've no idea why, but if I hear a song too many times in a couple day period I have a night of fever dreaming where I wake up over and over again to the song in my head. It's like my brain has over conditioned the pathway for that song and as soon as it starts trying to dream it falls into it and the dream breaks and I wake up. It happens to me a couple times a year and when I hear any of the songs it's happened with before I feel a deep physical revulsion.

I kind of wonder if it's a symptom of something but am otherwise more or less 100% neurotypical so I think it's just a weird quirk.

I know you know and this is just stupid pedantry but it made me cackle

And even once this is over, I think it's pretty often the speed limits and not the people driving over them that are in the wrong. I don't think slowing everyone down is a useful goal unless we adjust the limits up first.

I've been worried about something like this ever since maps first started showing the speed limit on the road I was on. It feels like an inevitability.

For whatever reason this feels like an especially significant step on the path towards increasingly excessive control over individuals and it makes me very sad that it's finally happening.

I agree, but I don't think that would be a good thing.

I suppose if the end result was that speed limits got adjusted up 5-10 mph to match the speed of the road it would be fine. I doubt this would happen in general, and I know it wouldn't happen universally.

I'd argue that it's almost never correct to drive the speed limit. In the US at least they are almost universally slower than the natural speed of the road by 5-10 mph and everyone speeds a bit all the time.

I don't think "is this where the price is going" really has anything to do with what gp was even saying.

I think though that in this case the person who needs to try harder is the one who originated the claim, not the person trying to dispute it, given that the person who made the claim originally didn't provide any evidence.

Sure, but

1. Google benefits from Android, but ios is apple. Google has other games.

2. Google doesn't make most androids. China would have to ban any company from making hardware designed to run android, not just ban Google from operating in the country, which would affect a bunch of non-google (even non-us) companies at least as much as it would affect Google itself.

It was meaningful to me. To me it meant "the other options are better for me, but I'll take payment in btc if that's the best option for you. Here's the link for that"

Not sure what the harm is?

By who? And so what if someone told you that?

Kind of ironic, there was a big "cloudflare is bad and a central point of failure" article on the front page just a couple days ago.

Found it, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31801947

edit: Not that I necessarily agree with the article even in light of there being an outage, cloudflare has been pretty good for us. Just thought it was interesting.
