<p>I have to agree on #7: it's pretty annoying, especially for series where there's both TV shows and movies related to them.  For instance, The X-Files: there's 11 seasons of shows, but also 2 movies.  A better example is Star Trek, with a bunch of different TV series, plus a bunch of various movies related to the different series.<p>You can put these into "collections", but it'd be nice if my library could just have a "Star_Trek" directory and then subdirectories with all those things inside, and have it automatically sorted out by JF.</p>

<p>I'm a huge FOSS bigot, but even I can admit that FOSS frequently has bad UI design.  FOSS is usually great for getting the fundamentals of the software right, making it reliable etc., but software experts usually are not very good at UI design.</p>

<p>This isn't that important a feature most of the time, because you can just press the skip-ahead button and skip the next 30 seconds.  You might see some of the intro, but big deal<p>There is one big exception though: if you're watching Star Trek: Enterprise.  The "skip intro" feature is invaluable so you don't have to be subjected to that truly horrific opening song.</p>

<p>The place is a desert.  Growing crops in a desert takes a lot of water, as you might imagine.  A smarter thing to do is to not try to grow crops in a desert where it needs so much irrigation.  The US has plenty of non-desert land for growing essential crops.</p>

<p>There are some homeless people living in camps in certain parks.  Ueno Park has a bunch of them.  Others have camps hidden away in flood-plain areas next to rivers.  Some live on sidewalks, like under overpasses, and have a bunch of junk in front of their sleeping bag that they're trying to sell.<p>Generally, these homeless people <i>want</i> to be homeless.  There's options for homeless people to get help, but some people simply don't want to be part of normal society for whatever reason (like mental illness).<p>Overall, in my experience living here, I very rarely see homeless people.  It's nothing at all like the huge homeless camps in US cities these days.</p>

<p>>What if I can't drive all the way to an ad-free restaurant<p>Eating at a restaurant is a luxury.  If you don't like the experience, don't go (or don't go back).  You're free to make your own food with stuff you buy at the supermarket, and you'll most likely get something healthier and much lower-priced.  The entire point of a restaurant is to pay more money, frequently a LOT more, for a combination of convenience, service, ambiance, and food that might not be so easy for you to make at home (e.g. pizza) due to skill or equipment limitations.</p>

<p>Everyone knows movies are staged, and they <i>expect</i> this.  No one in their right mind wants to go to a theater and pay $20 for some crap that someone shot on their phone with no script.<p>With the short videos, people <i>expect</i> them to be genuine, and not highly staged productions meant to entertain.</p>

<p>As far as I understand, ZFS doesn't work at all with disks of differing sizes (in the same array).  So if you try it, it just finds the size of the smallest disk, and uses that for all disks.  So if you put an 8TB drive in an array with a bunch of 10TB drives, they'll all be treated as 8TB drives, and the extra 2TB will be ignored on those disks.<p>However, if you replace the smallest disk with a new, larger drive, and resilver, then it'll now use the new smallest disk as the baseline, and use that extra space on the other drives.<p>(Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)</p>

<p>This entire comment section is simultaneously hilarious and sad to read, because it's obviously a bunch of myopic Americans who have never ventured outside of America and have no clue how other cities in the world work.

<p>Maybe, maybe not.
