I'm guessing the person you're replying to meant the incremental cost of serving African customers is low.

'Open' and 'for everyone' doesn't have to mean 'not following government's orders'. The last sentence of yours is a non sequitur.

Also, in today's environment with the US using AI in active wars while blocking whole models from even its own citizens, the words you say against the Chinese government is particularly weak.

There's another contest called Underhanded C that I enjoyed a lot reading, but it has been inactive for a decade at this point...

Is it? As mentioned by another comment, it's probably more divided than 'anti-AI'.

Also, 'Over the past six months, there hasn’t been a single day where I’ve checked the HN Best RSS feed without seeing a post about how AI ...' probably means the opposite is simply not news worthy anymore - no one wants to read another article that says AI could write fairly reasonable code.

Ah yes, FSearch is what I'm using right now. Although, correct me if I'm wrong, it relied on a search database and is slower? I remember reading somewhere that Everything is so quick because of NTFS - not sure about the technical details, though.

I thought a company called Frontier broke a file format CTF.

Tax is a complex issue that differs from one jurisdiction to another, and I am in no way an expert in any of them, but I do believe most tax authorities would require fair value exchanges.

Which means, "If the work is performed for $1 or $5000 the government doesn't get a say in that." --- it absolutely does, in the way of requiring the person getting a "$1 service" to calculate their tax as if they got $5000.

Everything is an absolute gem. I literally cannot survive on the work computer without it. At home on Linux, this is one of things (probably the only one even) I really missed from Windows.

The title is misleading in that it makes people think only 3% goes to Linux as a whole, while that number is about the linux kernel only.

Some other comments mention blockchain: one could argue for or against endorsing blockchain technology, but that doesn't seem to be the point of this article.

China is also short on supply... Capex for these are planned years ahead and just not flexible enough to deal with the supply squeeze right now.

The seemingly lack of any source for the first illustration (share of wealth) troubles me...

Would satellite dishes still be allowed when push comes to shove and the Internet is completely locked down?

Care to elaborate why? I'm just curious since I didn't know (1) there was actually any kind of serious usage, or (2) there was pushback from rescue team...

It reminds me of what3words, using three words to describe any location on earth. I really hoped that could catch on.

My knowledge may be out-of-date, but sodium-ion battery has a 30-50% lower energy density to lithium (200 Wh/kg vs 300-400). My understanding is it will be confined to cheaper solutions.

Oh okay, that's fair. How long would you achieve breakeven, i.e. save enough money from electricity to cover the initial cost?

That makes sense. I am running a desktop PC as server, and a NAS for backup. Only the PC is protected by a UPS, and the NAS is directly connected to the socket. I can't recall experiencing any glitches actually...it was a bit more common ~20 years ago. Most of the outages were things like maintenance, or some guy at a construction site did something stupid.

As for the remote rural argument, I totally agree with you: it's just that I don't know about those places. What I said about affordability was regarding the article: I don't think Anker would be able to sell those in China, since those who might want one probably couldn't afford it.
