They don't. The silence single sided nonsense that are bounced around in an echo chamber. A "discussion" implies exchanging of ideas, or reaching a decision.

Hmm. Gigabit uploads are objectively better than anything I have at present, let alone the 3G connection my current phone is constrained to.
You're worried about gigabit uploads from your smartphone on a network which may or may not exist? Again faster is not magically better. Access plays a big role, hence my raytracing example. Having the latest and greatest makes bugger all sense if you can't use it.
When you capture 170GB of video at an event and people want to watch it the next day on Youtube bandwidth matters.
You're not normal. Interestingly it seems like you're able to do this already given your very specific example.
You'd best hang on a couple of years then, current graphics card technology is not offering real time raytracing at any sensible resolution and frame rate.
Yeah and yet the 2 games which offer it would happily disagree.
Yes. The data I used 5 years ago isn't comparable to what I use today. There wasn't even a package available back then to cover what I have on my package now.
So you admit that the difference is in data availability and not technical capabilities of your phone? Certainly Android update were just as big 5 years ago. Youtube was still 1080p.
No. I anticipate that they'll move all their kit to 5G to "sell" 5G, and in the process never deploy 4G to its maximum capability
That wasn't the question. The question was whether they will demolish or purposefully degrade their service. On the flip side are you suggesting that areas which currently have no 4G coverage will in 5 years have 5G but no 4G, and this despite the well known range limitations of 5G infrastructure? That doesn't make any kind of sense. Not business sense, not economical sense, certainly not technological sense, and most definitely isn't reflected in any historical sense.
Now 4G might be "enough", but that state of affairs won't last forever. I loaded the front page of Facebook the other day and it was over 12Mbyte of content.
You having to wait one second for a webpage to load isn't selling your desperation very much, especially given that the vast majority of that 12Mbyte is content that has existed in a stable unchanging size since the last major change of Facebook introduce the ability to add video.... over 6 years ago.
If there is zero difference, how do you account for healthcare costing DOUBLE in the U.S.?
I already accounted for it. MIC. Read about it. It's a system which empowers for profit enterprises to drive up price. That very same for profit company is able to charge more in one place than another. It still has the same goals, same profit motive, and in every case will charge as much as possible to maximise profits. The fact that e.g. an Epipen locally costs me 30EUR vs the $250 it costs in the USA doesn't mean that Pfizer has a different business model or profit motive in Europe vs the USA.
keeping their profits more in line
So what you're saying is that the Europe medical system is for profit and requires government intervention to keep the price down. Why didn't you just agree with me in the first place instead of just wasting everyone's time.
HVAC? I'm sure if there's a natural disaster you have better things to worry about than your home chilled to 20C.
In the meantime my home uses ~7kWh / day on average across a given week, more on the weekends for obvious reasons. I can easily run my house for 10 days on a Model 3 battery. My girlfriend wouldn't even need to cut back her binge watching of Netflix.
You most likely would have burned up your PC, yes its THAT badly done.
Sorry but that's hyperbole. The PC was poorly built, but no worse than any Chinese box seller. It may have resulted in some difficulty mounting the CPU, and definitely would have suffered in memory performance, but the reality is that computer as horrible as the build guide was would still have run just fine.
Let me start by defending Intel before turning this around. Speculative execution attacks are extremely difficult to execute in any constructive way without detailed targeted knowledge and access to the machine. As yet there's no known case of it actually being used and with very good reason: Pretty much every other security exploit is easier and more effective to execute with the exception being attacking a VM from another VM. Spectre / Meltdown really shouldn't come into consideration when buying a CPU unless you're running a cloud VM service or securing your country against a foreign state.
Now on the flip side there already is no reason to go Intel, not when cost plays any part. The performance difference between Intel and AMD do not justify the costs. Where Intel exceeds in single thread performance you need an extreme edge case (e.g. pro gaming) to justify the cost. Where Intel exceeds in multi-core there pretty much is zero justification to chose Intel over a Ryzen or a Threadripper for cost, again edge cases such as a requirement to process AVX heavy loads not withstanding.
On the high end threadripper even offers far more in terms of I/O including on core RAID and enough PCIX lanes to actually make a difference, something that Intel will offer on Xeons only if you spend even more money on additional frigging dongles.
Don't be stupid. If drivers get that distracted that actually looking at the car in front of them causes an accident then they are a Darwin award waiting to happen.
That and we've had absurd personalised plates for the best part of 20 years.
Obviously much of this is still solvable with cash around. Supposedly.
Much of this is solvable in many ways. Having a business continuity plan should be a requirement regardless of what you use.
Last time there was a national outage of debit processing I paid for petrol the same way as many other people, by bank transfer when my bill arrived in the mail a few days later after handing over some ID.
What's a credit card? As an almost completely cash free person I don't understand. Is that like those bank cards that banks in western countries and 3rd world shitholes give out free to everyone with an account regardless of age, charge no fees, and allow you to pay for anything anywhere?
Did you post this from a personally vetted browser? Or do you just assume because something is magically open source that someone else trustworthy vetted it for you?
If I'm buying a phone at this price, it's going to be used for 5+ years
Do you anticipate suddenly your 5 year old phone will need a massive boost in available bandwidth to continue doing what it is already doing? Do you anticipate your phone company will just toss LTE on the trash-heap in 5 years?

Seriously... 1/3rd? I'm surprised it's that low.

... WTF has this world come to?
The pinnacle of technological development it would seem.
YouTube proudly deplatformed Alex Jones who is constantly railing against child sex-trafficking rings.
It may surprise you to lean that Youtube did not deplatform him for his stance on this.
And all the while it turned out that YouTube was the one promoting such things with its technology and/or lack of care.
I just masturbated to this post. You need to be banned. Why is Slashdot facilitating your disgusting post.
#outrage.
Not that I'm expecting one single moment of introspection from YouTube.
Oh wow. You actually finished your post with something smart. I'm sure you didn't intend to, but hey accidents happen.
People who professionally assemble computers DO NOT use a Swiss Army knife as a screwdriver. You know what they use? An actual screwdriver.
People who professionally assemble computers do not go to a Vox video for guidance.
Ugh WTF is wrong with people?
Well if you read the text and noticed the complete bitchfest about irrelevant crap then I would say a lot is wrong with people.

and by censoring this discussion you're only going to create a situation where these people are all the more staunchly against it
They aren't censoring discussion. Anti-vaxxers never have discussions.
When the private platform is the only platform for speech
It's not. And even if it were ...
then it is just as bad as any goverment censorship.
It's still not. Government censorship precludes you building a platform. Private censorship does not.

Wait... you guys have fees on debit cards? But Credit Cards kind of give you free money the more you use them? That's messed up.
England? Now? Australia introduced those as a complete set for general circulation 27 years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Holy shit I'm getting old. I remember that.
