> which, at times, can easily saturate a 1Gb connection.

The only thing that can saturate 1 Gb in practice in my experience are large downloads.

Video conferencing, streaming etc. uses well below 100 Mbps (even 4k Netflix seems to be 25 Mbit/s). You'd need dozens of such applications running at the same time to come even close to saturating Gbit.

This may change over time, but right now, there is very little need for going beyond 1 Gbps for households. And honestly, I think the change will take a long while, because 4k is still not ubiquitous, anything higher than that isn't much of a thing, and even the next step after 4k (assuming it needs 4x the bandwidth) will still be easily handled by a Gbit line even for large households.

A 100 GB game download taking 14 minutes with a saturated line is not going to be a reason for most people to pay for faster hardware all along the path (router, cabling, NICs, ...).
Yeah, sure, but they don't set up those services themselves, but they buy the whole solution from a vendor, usualy together with hardware provided by the vendor. So they still get a all-in-one solution from eg. NSN or huawei, and the vendor sets up and does the initial configuration for the operator.

(what I wanted to say is, that they don't take an empty server, install some linux on it, install kubernetes, and deploy each service one by one, but they buy it "all-in-one" from the vendor, so if there are security issues, they're usually because the vendor fucked something up)

I think it's because the young people online are much more drawn to the active, exciting urban lifestyle than the average American. The average American would much rather have the safety, quiet, and just space that comes with suburban living. People want yards to play with their kids, and that sort of spread-out living just necessitates cars. Housing prices aren't high because of cars. Housing prices are high because people want their own personal space.

Nobody's going to build a rail system with a thousand subway stations connecting every neighborhood in a US metro area. That would cost like a trillion dollars, plus maintenance. It's just not feasible to cater good public transport to people living that spread out. And no one wants to walk miles to a less-dense rail system or take some slow bus route.

And outside of major cities, I've never heard of someone complain about cars. Most people are perfectly happy with cars. Sure they might think trains are cool, but they wouldn't want to move inward for it or pay whatever cost would be necessary for trains to come outward.

Yup. And the options available to us have been limited by decades of zoning policy encouraging single-family homes only.

My girlfriend and I are about to move to the suburbs to be closer to her family, but it’s to an inner-ring suburb with excellent transit back into the city. There are maybe two towns for this in the area that aren’t outrageously priced, and even those two are above average.

Most of my friends -- a spread of PhDs, teachers, well-off tech workers, and blue collar workers -- have barely left the USA. I really enjoyed the time I spent in the UK for a college semester. It permanently ruined the US city experience for me -- even NYC is not as walkable as the small-ish city I lived in.

When my friends do leave the USA, it seems to largely land them at resorts, or guided tours, or other "on rails" tourist experiences that disconnect them from the day-to-day life of people who live in those places. Meanwhile I visit cities to explore on foot. I plan on doing some European bike tours soon to experience some of the small towns and countryside that I've previously missed out on.

Considering how much my friends and family love the walking and public transit experience at Disney World, I wonder how much they would enjoy just walking and taking public transit around other cities around the world. It's really not that different.
Possibly but I've never tried this. One could create a virtual routing table and apply ACL's for the nginx listening ports then apply the initcwnd and initrwnd routing changes to that virtual table.
There is at least one well-documented case of a pod of orcas understanding enough about people and boats for them to to initiate a mutually-beneficial and reciprocal understanding of how to cooperate in hunting whales.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_whales_of_Eden,_New_Sou...

Given this, I think it is conceivable that these orcas may have achieved some sort of understanding of fishing boats as competing with them for their food, and developed a hostility towards boats as a result.

IIRC, not all orca pods hunt whales or other marine mammals, and many are generally fish eaters. I would not be at all comfortable in a life raft or similar boat in the presence of orcas that do hunt seals or emperor penguins.

I always thought it was strange when people would say "The automobile represent freedom". I grew up in a "streetcar suburb" and later moved to a big city. So for me, cars were always viewed as an expensive annoyance you might need depending on your life circumstances, but certainly not something you'd go out of your way to buy unless you needed it.

But as I got older and lived briefly in a suburb of Houston TX it finally clicked: the way so many subdivisions are planned you are quite literally trapped inside your subdivision unless you have a vehicle. Need to buy groceries? Get to school? Go hang out with friends? You need a car. You aren't heading anywhere interesting without one.

So I get why people have a romanic idea of the automobile, but that romance is a side-effect of poor urban planning.
You're right - I do not want to live in dense cities. I did it for years, and hated it. I was happy when I was able to move out into a detached home where I can use speakers and not have to worry about a neighbor getting angry.

It's only one neighbor out of the 6 I would share separating walls with, but one is all it takes.
All progress happens at the limit. You may just be running a lot of crud that loafs along, but out there somewhere there is an operator of something that sends a million packets per second per core and they'd rather get 2 million. You don't use your SSD but there is some organization that finds 1 million IOPS to be a little lower than they'd like.

You do benefit from these advances. Your searches get faster, your video streaming remains affordable, etc.
>organized harassment campaign

It should be noted that the stated aim of KF is a forum to document and discuss the escapades of people that naturally produce their own drama and spectacle, and actually interacting with the "lolcows", on- or off-site, is explicitly against the site rules. Obviously whether you believe that sentiment to be genuine is your prerogative.

>Most notably Near, famous in the emulation community

While I'm sure others have mentioned that there isn't any direct evidence to indicate that Near actually did commit suicide (I truly hope he is still alive, both on a human level, and because I followed his excellent emulation development), the uncomfortable detail that is always left unstated is that he was not a person driven from a previously well mental state to suicide. The truth is that, prior to his suicide note, Near attracted very little attention on the site, with just a small, HN-sized thread before he made an account to directly talk to people in the thread. In his communication with the KF administrator (which ironically I can't find since the site is being DDoSed right now) he said that his mental state caused him to hyper-fixate on the relatively small amount of negative attention from the community, and he admitted that he didn't know the precise reason that it bothered him so much. Before the administrator finished the email negotiations about what action to take about the thread, Near had sent a follow-up message saying that it was, essentially, too late and that he was going to take his own life immediately.

All this isn't to say that this was Near's fault, and I think it's obvious that the ethical thing to do would have been to remove the thread. But ultimately if the question is whether a website's existence should be made de facto impossible, it's an important detail to mention, and a very similar story to other 2 or so people on the supposed "kill list". To put it crudely, the site exists to document the things that "crazy people" do online. Without ruling out that the site had a hand in people's suicide, it's pertinent to consider that there is a very strong selection bias at play if a person featured on the forum sadly takes their own life.

>CloudFlare continue to host them despite all.

I believe Cloudflare doesn't host the website per se, but proxies traffic for mitigation against attacks. The organiser of this current movement has been pretty overt about getting Cloudflare protection removed so that the site is at the mercy of DDoS attacks and other highly illegal means of disruption.

Similar: A growing chunk of my support calls have the audio SO LOW that I have to turn on speakerphone and shove the thing halfway down my ear canal to decipher what they're saying. Asking the agent to speak up gets a response like I'm the first person all day to complain about this.

I guess "due to COVID", companies "just can't control" the quality of the microphone their support staff are using. Surely this has nothing to do with the side effects: it's impossible to make a usable recording of the call (to hold them accountable), I'm frustrated with the experience (and less likely to consume their support resources in the future), and maybe I'll even give up now (saving them money on a product exchange, credit, or whatever I'm calling about).

As someone who graduated with $60k in student loans, thank you for mansplaining to me how student loans supposedly work.

Some loans go directly to the schools. Others do get disbursed to the student. But you said a key phrase in your own comment: "as long as you stay in school". Money is fungible. If I get paid $5,000 in student loans and use that to buy a computer, but then I have to pay $5,000 out of pocket for tuition, that is identical to me paying for tuition with the student loans. The second I decide to stop paying tuition, the loans stop as well. So it doesn't matter what a student spends the check on directly, as long as they're using that money and paying tuition, the student loan is being used for education.

> ...Repealing Section 230[1]: so that social media (and others) are treated as publishers and legally liable for user-generated content (including Bot content)...

After 2016 or so, i started seeing the topic of "repealing section 230" come up far more often than in the past. And since then, I have wondered if it does get repleaed, might the big social media giants push towards trying to monetize a more decentraliuzed type of social network? In other words, at that point would they leverage networks like the Fediverse and technologies like Mastodon to somehow capture users, but somehow still monetize them in a way that they continue to lack liability...but the users either have legitimate freedom (though still contribute freely to fill social giants purses with revenue), or said users have a false sense of freedom, and really are still beholden to the social media giants...?

They're talking about taking off when stopped on a hill. Pressing the clutch and releasing the brake will result in the car rolling backward down the hill until you get enough forward momentum going to take off. Newer drivers freak-out on the rolling backward bit.

I remember an earlier discussion on HN where different people around the world learned different techniques for preventing the rollback. I remember lots of Europeans saying that's what the parking brake is for. Here in the States we're taught to let out the clutch until it starts to bite and then release the brake. You may still roll backward a few inches but that's no big deal.
> A commercial entity has a sustainable path to providing those resources....

> ...having seen some of the internal discussions, I trust Brave a lot when it comes to privacy.

I felt similarly about Google while I worked there. There were and still are a great many very skilled people focusing on security and privacy within Google, with good intentions. I personally had my own work vetted multiple times for security related stuff, and I was quite impressed.

Yet, Google has grown a bit of a PR problem with respect to privacy issues.

The (potential) problem is structural. Commercial entities exist to make money for investors. Protecting user privacy is a different goal. We also live in a world of grey areas, so judgement calls need to be made.

What structurally prevents the Brave corporation from changing once those people leave, leadership changes, acquisitions happen or Brave is acquired?

I see no particular structural reason to trust Brave more than Google. They're both companies that go to great lengths to respect and preserve user privacy. They're both corporations that exist to make money for investors.

What would I trust even more than Brave or Google? Something run under some form of governance that is legally accountable at a primary and structural level to what it is actually aiming to provide (e.g. privacy) rather than to making money (most every corporation in the world).

They don't. Compare local purchasing power of any big European city with any American city. 9 out of 10 times, people in American cities would have higher purchasing power.

Even Alabama and Mississippi have higher tech average wages than countries like Germany and Netherlands. If you move out of central/western Europe, things only get worse.

Mississippi ~$71,720/year

Germany ~46K Euros/year (googled)

Netherlands ~59K Euros/year (googled)

This doesn't even talk about how much higher taxes in these countries are. You will be paying almost ~40% (tax and social security) for these salaries in Germany and Netherlands.

I'm not sure where I saw this being pitched as a solution to racism. It has nothing to do with racism. Accents are based on location, not race. Of course the intent is to further milk 3rd world countries. That's the whole benefit of hiring third world workers, they are cheaper. If not why use them? This tool is pitched as making them more effectively able to communicate with their target audience, first world people. This is a boon fir the workers allowing them to be better at their job. People that employ the call centers want things sold, this allows for them to do this more effectively. Where is the negative in that? Sales is about getting someone to buy things, sitting on your moral horse doesn't feed people's families
Making public transit better would also really help.
