I mean, we know the absolute limits of computational efficiency thanks to the Landauer limit and the Margolus–Levitin theorem, and from those we know that we are so far from the limits that it is practically unfathomable.

If they can show some evidence that they can perform useful calculations 100x more efficiently than whatever they chose to compare against (definitely a cherry picked comparison) then I'll give them my attention, but others have made similar claims in the past then turned out to be in extremely specific algorithms that use quantum calculations that are of course slower and less efficient on any traditional computer.

We know spez' secrets too.

Dude loved the jailbait subreddit before it was banned for obvious reasons.

He was a moderator.

For a while it was in the international section of one of the big liquor stores. Thought that was funny.

Didn't Asahi acquire all of lion Nathan breweries over a decade ago?

Edit, actually kirin owns lion Nathan, but asahi definitely aquaired some of their brands a while ago.

Funilly enough Fosters is japanese now, and hasn't been Australian for decades.

Asahi have been buying up all of Australia's breweries, even a bunch of popular micros are owned by them now.

Before asahi, they were owned by ABINBEV and SABMiller.

It was actually made in many countries by the likes of Heineken, Coors, Molson, and others. I don't think any true fosters has been made in Australia and exported for a very long time.

I just pull no more than an album at a time from people usually. spread it out, come back the next day etc. If you aren't sure, use the chat function and ask them if they are OK with you queuing up more than a couple of full albums at a time.

I share freely, no restrictions other than bandwidth cap and use a round robin to allocate upload slots to people, so if someone does queue up a hundred gigs of flacs from me (in my library that can be a single artist) it doesn't block everyone else for a week.

Yea, we don't really need first party native UIs (the community can do that themselves), just more control and configurability over what we currently have.

I'd like to see some better screen formatting options without having to use custom code or unofficial add-ons.

For example, I'd like to make a grid layout that auto stretches and flows for different display sizes like a modern website can, or lock to a screen width/height etc for a fixed wall mounted controller so I don't get random scrollbars on some screens.

And more control over things like tap and hold actions. it's almost impossible for me to use tap and hold on my main wall mounted display for example, if I move by a single pixel it doesn't react, I'd like to set the deadzone and delay time for that for example.

Agreed but unlikely for at least a few more years. 500/200 is where I'd be happy but that's $250 ish at the moment.

The original plan to run it as a public service was very quickly shot down.

eh. for most tiers probably, but its an excuse to reshuffle the options and pricing.

I'll really annoy you by saying that VDSL2 (the tech you are using) supports up to around 250mbit throughput but no Aussie ISP has enabled that option. Your modem probably already supports it because its a pretty old standard.

Enjoy, have a nice day.

Artificial limitations to separate residential connections from business connections.

Also, the CVC system is partly to blame.

Likely all of it as it is a no-cost change at the wholesale end, but of course it's an excuse to reshuffle the pricing brackets and adjust CVC to cut costs and increase profits.

It looks like the current top 1000/50 tier might get a bump up to 1000/100 though.

Um. You got a picture of that plugged into the tv?

I've never seen that on the LGs I've seen, and I'm an AV technician.

There was a panasonic (I think it was them) that had a Displayport connection, but that didn't last.

I suspect HDMI threatened to cut their licence if they kept putting DP on the TVs.

Agreed 100%

Literally the only way they could become profitable.

I'm honestly more upset at this deal (I think it was google?) than the CEO pay thing, which is all stock options and mostly ragebait.

I expect to see them last 3-5 years and get bought out by some bit tech firm, all current execs take their payouts, sell their shares and retire.

I'd prefer an easily removable battery, headphone jack, upgradable storage, etc etc. not just a thin phone with a thick case on it.

Sure, but the stock is illiquid until after the IPO, and its current value is only based on the value estimate given for the purpose of the IPO.

He will still make bank unfortunately, but its not unusual for new IPOs to give stock options to CEOs with ridiculous values that don't really mean anything until the stock is publicly trading and a true value is established by the market.

I mean, Fuck Spez and Reddit and all but the article is clickbait, he was paid about $370k salary plus a bonus and the vast majority was shares.

Dont invest in reddit, heck I'd even say bet against them, short them, They are just seeking a buyout from one of the big tech firms and want it out of their hands.
