Interesting to see discussion where people say <100 Mbps is enough. No. In Lithuania, general household internet speed is 300 Mbps. I'am with 1 Gbps and I can't imagine how other countries have average 10 Mbps per user. Wow.

It's like a car engine: it's better to have 3.0L than 1.2L, because when you need the power, you will get it.


I think it's simply a case of not missing what you don't know.

I got my first 10 Mb/s connection around 2000. At the time I found it to be as fast as I could possibly want. I mean, it's the same speed as the local network at the computer club just a few years prior.

Now I have gigabit (2 Gb/s actually, but I can't be bothered to configure network bonding), and I couldn't imagine going back to anything slower.


Why...


Because the person who did it found it fun to do? I believe the site is called 'Hacker News' not 'Sensible and Useful Engineering News'


If you have to ask a question like that, it's doubtful that you'll comprehend the answer: Fun.


Kinda very shallow report. No photos of actual property (houses) of Zuck.


The article is not about what the property looks like.


But that’s what is interesting to me. Hawaii is a nightmare of rich people buying stuff. Larry Ellison bought all of Molokai, it some other island. It’s not interesting that Zuck is like the hundredth millionaire to buy up land.

I love Hawaii, but I’ve been suckered too many times by people telling me how they really want the land for a connection going back 100 years just to develop it. Which is not that bad, but it’s hard to filter out whose narrative is authentic. So it’s all noise to me of rich people arguing with lucky people.

I’d be more interested in photos of the design decisions of a nerd.


We need to hear 2 sides of a story. Github does not just 'delete' files. Author should contact them first and resolve any issues there is. And if github refuse that, than you can cry a river.


I don’t think it’s unreasonable for the author to be provided an explanation when the repo was taken down.


Is it not incumbent upon Github to contact the author before deleting his account?


Maybe they did but it ended up in his spam filter or he unintentionally ignored it? As GP said, we need 2 sides to the story to make any judgements.


Marketing text and not the good one. Worthless, sorry.


It will be discontinued as major of G's startups :)


I remmember when Dropbox released Firefly. It was simple and elegant. Nautilus is a monster in compare. It would be nice to see some pieces of code...


File sharing community should adopt and thrive on this technology. Viva!
