I pay seven times that. Because I'm on a creaking old DSL line the provider doesn't want to maintain, at 12mbits or so. Consistent. SYMMETRICAL.

I don't give a crap about download. I work publically and support my work using YouTube. Every week I'm uploading 20 gigs or so of video, MINIMUM, and if it dropped I'd have to start over. I'm uploading 4k ProRes because my competition is at that quality level or better, and I won't stand out if I look like crud, and what I upload is going to be recompressed no matter what.

Don't tell me about download. I'll just sit reading Hacker News if download's a problem (evidently!). I depend on upload, not download, and I rarely even see it referred to much less touted.

I abandoned a brief dabbling with Starlink before even getting an actual dish, because it didn't look like I was going to be able to trust upload bandwidth to beat what I've got with my symmetrical, reliable 12M. It matters.

Stayed at an AirBnB once that had fiber. I had >100m upload. It would make stuff possible for me that I just can't do currently. Granted, taking advantage of that requires thousands in investment, but what real business doesn't?
So my genuine grievances with a platform are “excuses” for not giving them my hard-earned cash? Maybe you need to re-evaluate your relationship with YouTube.

I won’t give them my money nor time because on every level I find them a disgusting business. I only put up with them due to the fact that they are, unfortunately, the only major player in town with many content creators I enjoy. I wish they would move to FOSS solutions, but unfortunately adoption is slow amongst non-tech channels. Instead, I use RSS and Invidious to interface with the content I enjoy in a way far superior to YouTube’s own offerings, all for free. And thus I can take the money I save from Premium and give it to creators directly via donation services/merch.

If you believe its somehow “worth it” to support a multibillion company that is backed by an even larger corporation who has made it clear time and time again they don’t care about their creators, then by all means go ahead, but your assessment that these are “excuses” to “avoid” paying for a service I don’t require is detached from reality on every level.

> Supply and demand will fix this. Real estate speculators will eventually realize they've already lost the money they put into the building, then sell it at a loss (or at bankruptcy). Then, the residential conversions will happen, producing a supply of large, irregularly shaped manhattan condos that will certainly sell.

> Capitalism does have its advantages.

The inherent land value is so astronomical and the cost of retrofitting is so high that, at virtually any price, most developers would decide it's more economical to raze the building and start over, designing a residential building from scratch with cookie-cutter units that can be sold for maximum profit.

> I’d start by making the stations and buses/subways beautiful, clean, safe places that are just nice urban places to be in

I spent yesterday travelling around Greater London using only public transport, coupled with quite a lot of (fairly brisk) walking ... my phone said my day involved 20591 steps and 98 heart points.

When you don't have access to a car, you have to think quite differently about mundane things like going to a supermarket.

"Where is the closest supermarket to my current location" for the car user becomes "where is any supermarket which is close to a public transport stop I can readily reach from my current location" which I find isn't handled nearly as well by all our favourite mapping services. Things like fares and fare zones become of interest, not just raw distances and traffic on routes.

> There’s no need to make it a moral crusade [..]

Unfortunately there seems to be no broad agreement on exactly how you make places "beautiful, clean [and] safe" if they aren't.

This is an inaccurate and highly reductive stereotype of what the supposed "Anglophone" cultural world believes about friendship.

In reality, there are vast cultural differences between different English speaking regions, which foreigners often overlook due to the shared language. California, New York, Miami, Johannesburg, New Zealand, and rural Yorkshire are all technically "Anglophone" in some broad reductive sense, yet are as culturally distinct (or even moreso) as, say, Sweden and Greece.
As an American living in Germany I bike to work every day, even in the snow in winter. There are dedicated bicycle paths which are free from obstruction where I can commute, get groceries (I have a special trailer for heavy items), and enjoy a weekend with the family. I can cycle between cities, all the way to the Netherlands, which has even better dedicated cycling routes.

https://www.radroutenplaner-deutschland.de/veraDNetz_EN.asp

Should I choose public transport, it is ubiquitous and very cheap (even free for some people). Fast and slow trains, streetcars, some subways and buses, but most importantly frequent and with total coverage by law if I remember correctly, no one can be more than 500m from a public transport stop. Even in the countryside you can take public transport everywhere: I have visited rural areas entirely by train and even a farmhouse by bus with a short walk. This is typical European lifestyle at least for the wealthier northern continental countries.

https://www.german-way.com/travel-and-tourism/public-transpo...

There is a downside, however. Everyone - that is everyone except the very rich and those in the countryside - lives in an apartment. An apartment which, even by lower class American standards, is tiny, dark, grungy, often ridden with mold, and with non-existent amenities. For the price I pay in rent, including exorbitant utility costs, I could get a much nicer place anywhere outside the coastal elite urban cores. My fellow software developers, who are paid far above average for German engineers (or even doctors here) are in the same boat. Tiny and grimy is the norm:

What I wish I saw less of in the car/transit debate was moralizing, and what I wish I saw more of was engineering tradeoffs. You can try to have cars and houses and transit and high salaries and (relatively) low taxes and what you get is NYC or SF - a playground for the rich and a dystopian hellscape for the average middle class worker. If you make transit ubiquitous and affordable with affordable housing and restrictions on cars you get everyone in tiny accommodations, the kind of mass single family home communities and even NYC townhomes and billionaire skyscrapers would never be approved by German town planners. Engineering tradeoffs, which can mean many tiny cars you never see sold in the USA:

Let's have more discussion on the tradeoffs, and maybe we can find solutions of which Larry David would say:

"You're unhappy. I'm unhappy too. Have you heard of Henry Clay? He was the Great Compromiser. A good compromise is when both parties are dissatisfied, and I think that's what we have here."

I don't think it is fair to hand wave away the performance issues like this. Frame rate drops down to 20 and below are very noticeable to the untrained eye.

This sounds like "you would have murdered that hobo too if you thought you could get away with it!" No, I have no desire to murder hobos, and "we'd all do it!" is the opinion of a deeply troubled person.

I've seen her talk and she just looked like a robot pretending to be Steve Jobs, spouting nonsense that anyone with either a modest understanding of the subject or a willingness to fact-check her on absolutely anything would easily see through. Absolute bullshit excuse.

On the very rare occasions I'm using an external dataset that includes them I'll make a copy with renamed files using underscores.

If more junior team members produce files with spaces in their paths I quickly educate them in how problematic it can be.

It's pretty rare this is a problem for me or my team, perhaps we're lucky in what we work on though.

Thankfully I have never seen a file named "*" or "--".

Nintendo’s games _work_, and, even though many would say they can overlook glitches, I believe that maintaining a “seamless” experience - not breaking the flow - is an much, much, more important part in maintaining the subconscious ‘this game is great!’ feeling than people give it credit for.

“It just works” is just as important a part of gaming as it is of other things.
Sounds like something the market can solve. Instead of giving limited parking spaces to whoever got there first, sell them to the highest bidder.

Monthly parking in Manhattan is $1000/month. If you want a car, you gotta pay for the space it takes up. We could be using that space for better things.

People parking on the sidewalk? Great! Tow them and fine them, and now the city has another source of revenue.

It’s not really a new standard, it’s FIDO2, it’s been around for a while using security keys (yubikeys, solokeys…).

Passkeys used to be called non-resident keys.

In the world of hardware security keys there was no backup/share of private keys.

In this new wave of software authenticators (typically backed by the hw coprocessor that’s now available in phones & laptops), they called them passkeys, added sharing across devices, and a few debatable features like interactions with servers that may lead to lock in/tracking/etc (or may not).
> No one is saying that China can't be an adversary.

I think anyone who says they aren't is lying to themselves.

This is a far bigger trend than just some fox News viewers. Opposition to China has become bilateral and is very well supported by most in America.

You can only spend so long pretending to be a friend while also opposing the United States in basically every possible way until the United States wakes up and calls the quacking thing a duck. Seeing reality, we are burning bridges.

TikTok is one of those bridges. The chip export bans are another. Expect them to continue until China's trade with America resembles our trade with the soviets in the 80s.

Do not make the mistake of comparing framerates in feature films and video games. Those are perceived by viewers very differently.

In movies, 24 fps (and the 180° shutter) provide just the right amount of the dream like visuals that help the audience get into the story. Movies that tried higher framerates mostly flopped because they end up looking like documentaries. There is also no reasons to increase the framerate to reduce latency.

In video games, technical limitations aside, higher fps is always a good thing. I don't think I ever heard anyone complain that the animation was too smooth or the latency too low.

It occurs that shows including "Call my agent", "The Newsroom", and to some extent "Madam Secretary" depict the better version of office life (particularly for young people) pretty well.
Tell HN: Tenorshare's “30-Day Money-Back Guarantee” Is Deceiving in My Opinion
Tenorshare says "30-Day Money-Back Guarantee" on its product page(1), which I interpreted as "guaranteed refund; no questions asked". However, it turns out that only limited cases like Duplicated Purchase will be refunded, according to its refund policy page(2).

Am I right or wrong in thinking that they are trying to be deceptive? If so, what actions could I take to get my refund, if my reason is "the product does not solve my problem"?

> I did read the article, no it's not a genuine piece of hardware, they changed the microcontroller.

They took the genuine piece and swapped some stuff out and modified firmware, not just made a straight up fake. That's why it was hard to detect, it was a completely genuine device on the face of it.

> And by the way, it's also possible to do the same exact thing in an iPhone right now, somebody could totally hook up a microcontroller with a microphone straight to the battery.

Yes. But that is tricky (not much free space in the body to add something new) and can probably be detected visually. However if somebody swapped an existing part like a camera for a fake camera that acts like a camera but also spies on you then it would be tricky to visually see, but the phone would warn you.
Just yesterday I was trying to sign up with Verizon for my new address. Fiber is not available in my building, so they offer "5G Home Internet" for $60-$80/mo, which is crazy expensive for what it is. I asked whether there were ADSL lines available, since these were recently available for as cheap as $15/mo. It seems this is no longer the case. Maybe there's a market here?

EDIT: I am in the US, and I've just realized this is a UK-oriented article. Nevertheless, the point might still stand.
There's no need to conflate "unfruitful" and "negative." Plenty of people have fun arguing without persuading one another of anything, more or less the definition of an "unfruitful" conversation.

> no way that you can seriously argue that doing this for newly-constructed skyscrapers would result in units that can be sold at the price that the building owners are demanding

The buildings' owners are screwed. Their leverage constrains them. The question is whether the structures have positive value. Retrofitting to current code leaves most with negative value, i.e. it's cheaper to abandon. The question I was answering is if it's possible to economically convert these to housing for somebody. Under current code, the answer is no.
