good balance for me...
And apparently many people here on HN want to discredit the author's conclusions because they dont agree with them personally.
Purchasing power has climbed, hunger has reduced, I think all of these are important metrics to consider...
I think people are much more polarized and that social media has brought out terrible polarity, but it doesnt necessarily mean the average person is not living better than 30 yrs ago.
The case for replaceable batteries can be made from a convenience/durability/sustainability point of view, sure, but how do replaceable batteries improve trust?
lfmao... but jokes aside, the "cloud" is just series of datacenters with less choice of a brand, you do realize this? There is no such "cloud" as you say... Internet allows exactly for decentralized data (among cloud-1a-b1-c2 to cloud-2b-5x-3h is not all "in the cloud", its the same as datacenterA to datacenterB.... proximity still has an effect, as do all other network conditions...)
Dont let the marketing sandcastle trap you in!
Large companies have been announcing HUGE savings, small companies would be able to save a LOT too... such a pity, all the cloud abstraction creates lazy teams IMO, and lazy companies... (again IMO, I know this wont be a popular view, because this audience is exactly the cloud-happy audiencem but if you achieve self criticism, self-hosting / colo etc is probably a better fit for 99% of cases)
There was even a "emoji" of beating a troll back in the days o ubb and vbb
