I think the largest challenge though is maintaining the distribution and managing the associated upfront costs.

Existing large content producers could likely afford to handle this but new producers could struggle paying to seed their content.

Though I do think overall this is more achievable than people give it credit for:

• YT videos don't need huge bandwidth for a sustained period; only for short bursts. Most views come in within a week.
• Content is probably localized to specific countries. Less need to replicate across the globe.
• Let the source prefer to seed the highest quality and other peers downsample and replicate as needed.
• Doesn't need YT scale. Tons of YT "content" is spammers leeching essentially free hosting from YT. No one needs to seed their videos if they don't want to.
• 1080p is still fine for YT videos. h265 is very efficient (though downsampling 265 isn't great). Don't need 4k for most videos.

Just adding to the chorus that while it's cool and conveniently sized the screen just falls apart.

I agree. So if people are hearing it and demonstrating it with decibel readers then there's probably little to no sound dampening.

It's not. History never is and it'd be worth understanding how we got to this place.

Ohh so you're moving to a wealthier neighborhood. Could have just said that. Capital is your problem, not city vs. non-city.

I'm liberal but the first thing that comes to mind about this advancement is something negative. I would prefer a negative peace, an absence of conflict, to a positive peace. I'm a liberal.

Most of the time. Sometimes it can lead to code that is ambiguous and ASI picks the wrong way to interpret it.

lol okay you clearly need to brush up on american politics because no one who supports the party of not feeding or housing poor children is loving

Yeah, park and ride, bike and ride, complete public transit, or even driving on less crowded highways to cities with more available parking because other people chose other modes.

Ultimately how anyone would commute depends on their own personal factors and what's available. In the future we'll have more multimodal transport and that should make things nicer for everyone.

To demonstrate a point more saliently than intellectually. That line hurt on purpose and it's a good thing. It gets through better.

I do hope my fellow dudes can handle the tiniesr bit of pain for a learning opportunity.

they never do though lol

Servers decide instances they federate with, not users.

Users decide servers based partly on what the server federates with.

Leaving the what servers to view/block decision up to every user is a very cumbersome solution to a problem that is already elegantly solved.
