> it's hard to use more than a few megabits per person on average.

With the coming rise of streaming services(currently using 6 to 12 mbps) and other things I can regularly see each individual person using 25mbps or more with the rise of 4k. And in a house of 4. That means the house needs 100mbps real capacity. And then it needs to not be bottlenecked on the street with dozens of other houses.

And not just streaming of games. But of movies. Education. Meetings. And tons of other streaming related activities compounded on potential normal usage non streaming.

And lets not forget that my predictions are based on the short term (<5 years) time frames. Infrastructure shouldn't need replacing every 5 years, but perhaps every 10-15 years at the lowest. So in that regard I'd bump it up to say at minimum every household should be able to sustain 500mbps symmetrically during peak concurrency strain hours.

Perhaps offer up to 1 gbps to 10 gbps during non peak times and during short spikes.

There is a difference between the military and government agencies.

It's like asking why not get rid of military in favor of militia, Hired guns, And police forces?

Who had what authority. Funding. Jurisdiction and related. And plenty of other things.

> After strong AIs are common, we can persue the even more interesting task of dumbing them down in fun ways

An artificially handicapped or limited smart ai in video games is often obvious and not fun.

I predict hn will have not have fixed the code block vs quote bad experience on mobile.

I disagree and think it will decrease because self driving vehicles will act as pace cars and smooth out traffic considerably

Thanks. I use unlock origin but hadn't tried that. I'll do that now. Thanks!

Thank you! I feel like I've been seeing more and more paywall reaching top links lately and its mildly annoying do most people have subscriptions or something?

> "Also, they have (recently introduced) a sync option, in which fake files are visible in your file system, but no actual contents get put on the drive until you try to open them. "

I thought that was a first in the earliest of versions and was one of my favorite. At some point they removed it and made you choose which folders to sync. At which point I abandoned using it. So maybe they are reintroducing it or I am misremembering something.

Just fyi. I thought counter strike didn't used projectiles but used raycasts for almost every weapon.

But your point still stands and applies for most shooters.

I play a lot of pubg(player unknowns battlegrounds) and you can often hear the bullet whizzing past you before the initial shot of the gun/rifle/bullet. And you can often gauge how far away someone shot because of this.

- I've been using the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 for however long its been since it replaced the 3000 or whatever predecessors. Probably close to 20 years now. I use this same keyboard at work and at home.

- I keep a small stack of napkins(between 10 napkins to about 3/4" of napkin) under my left elbow. For some reason the elbow hitting the hard desk hurts, and having a stack of napkings is both useful to use napkins from (and occasionally replace to re-up the stack). It helps a lot on the left elbow.

- I use a Razer Deathadder mouse both at home and at work.

- I use a foot rest both at home and at work (they are quite a bit different, due to different desks/chairs).

- I use monitor arms at home and at work. Also I keep my monitor up higher than most people do. Most people keep them WAYYY to low(at minimum, enough for my keyboard and typing to be able to go under them). It really makes a big difference when you can look straight on most of the time.

- I primarily only use 2 monitors. I've had up to 3 and 4 at one point, but noticed slight neck strain. But 2 does well enough for me. I use 2x 27" 1440 resolution 144hz monitors at home. And 2x 27" 4k monitors at work.

- I am super picky about chairs. When I last replaced my home one, I sat in probably 150 different chairs in 10 different stores. Ended up ordered some high end chair($1000) and it didn't feel quite right. So I returned it and ordered another a different make/model(About $600) that works for me. Extra wide, proper butt cushion(no cross bar if pushed on hard) and works for my back and neck. I don't mention name/brands here, because everyone's body is different and you just need to find something that fit/works for both your body and price ranges.

- I am also super picky about the settings on the chair. Again, personal preference.

- Lastly, at home I have a large mousepad (approximately 20"x18") and at work, I have slightly larger.

I am on either my work or home desk/computer probably 14+ hours every day of the week. And haven't had any back, neck, or joint pains since about 20+ years ago, when I first started customizing setup, finding what worked, and switched to split keyboard and stuff. If something even feels SLIGHTLY off. I make sure to change it, a lot of people can get used to things 'slightly off' but don't really quite notice how much it can wear on you after a long time.

Counter point. If this(free postage) is an easy and good proxy for detecting this type of scam. By doing this they might stop(doing free postage) . And then you and others lose their easy no effor detection?

They might be getting exactly what they're voting for. But they might not be voting for what they need or want.

It's not that hard to spin things in a way that people unknowingly vote for the opposite of what they actually want or need.

I think the site predates it? Apparently the websites been like this for many years.
