As a consumer, I use it for two things and it does it well and very simply across all platforms:

1) When traveling, you can use one of your home computers as an "exit node" so you can watch Netflix, etc. abroad very easily. Much more reliable than using VPNs which can be blocked.

2) Accessing your internal network from wherever you are for Plex, Homebridge, IP cameras, or whatever.

The PS5 only has a 1gig Ethernet port anyway.

AT&T fiber recently rolled out 5 gigs in San Francisco and as far as I can tell, Steam is the only service that can saturate it. That’s after buying a 10 gig $100 network card and a $200 router which only has 2 10 gig ports.

It’s going to be a few years before >1 gig internet is commonly supported.

How thick are your steaks and what temperature do they start at? My steaks take almost two hours following the Kenji method D:

jeff18 — Mon, 10 Jan 2022 22:17:45 +0000

My understanding is that YC would get 7% ($350k) and would also receive $375k from this new SAFE. So YC would have put in $500k and gotten $675k back.

Not necessarily! Shares trade all the time without funding the company. The valuation depends on what people pay for those shares.

You were able to get sushi, dim sum, boba, bagels, or even steaks promptly delivered in a few clicks before 2013? DoorDash is an easy example of a startup that has made my life better, especially during a pandemic.

New comment by jeff18 in "Tencent's AI plays StarCraft II, and wins over 90 percent of the time"

jeff18 — Fri, 21 Sep 2018 16:28:56 +0000

This comes up every time Starcraft AI is discussed. It's really frustrating. Why immediately discount the incredible work AI researchers are doing by instantly assuming they are using cheap tactics like shown in your video?

When a Starcraft AI is ready, it will be incredibly obvious if it's using brand new builds, strategies, and tactics (which pros will immediately copy for the next $500,000 tournament) or if it's "just" using 10,000 APM to perfectly dodge attacks in a way that a human never could.

I'm guessing Google and Tencent are going for the former instead of the latter.

Reminds me of this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17779751 about DoorDash which was false. Given some of the same investors are in Rappi, I would not immediately assume they have funky terms.
