Interesting comment, thanks. Two questions out of curiosity:

> Even though I have top notch viewing gear properly configured and calibrated

Any chance you'd be willing to share a few details about this?

> While some pre-compressed streamed film content looks quite good when delivered via a streaming service willing to devote sufficient encoding time and delivery bitrate, it's still hit and miss.

Which streaming services are doing things right in your view?

> Everyone in the big city is a transient, only there to make money and find love before it's time to head for the suburbs.

Yes, he refers to his source throughout the piece. I believe it's just one anonymous source for the entire thing though.

From the article: "Zuckerberg indicated that Meta plans to slow its hiring plans for engineers by at least 30% this year – adding roughly 6,000 or 7,000 workers rather than the 10,000 it initially expected to hire."

So yes, still hiring quite a lot of people, just fewer than originally planned.

Not a strawman at all, it's a very common attitude if you are not on HN or in a similar bubble. I heard it in person (verbatim, actually) about 5 days ago.

Delightful! Really challenging.

That's what the one star reviews are for. (I read "unexceptional" to mean "neither exceptionally good nor exceptionally bad").

it's per subdomain i think.
