Re:Google Fiber is coming to Las Vegas on Wednesday January 22, 2025 @06:54PM (#42798871)
Back when I lived in Ukraine in 2021, I got our family a 1Gbps fiber connection.

We lived on the edge of the city, and it was insanely hard to find a provider.

I knew internet was super cheap in Ukraine and was going to leave Ukraine in the following years, so getting a 1Gbps fiber as an all-time-at-home person was a great idea.

I ended up finding 2 providers that had fiber, and 1 of them had 1Gbps.

I was super happy to have symmetrical 1Gbps for $15 a month for the time I could spend there.

Here, in Vancouver, I am happy to have 250Mbps/15Mbps for $40 per month.

Re:How to improve your WFH lighting to reduce eye strain on Wednesday January 22, 2025 @06:25PM (#42798615)
I was wondering how practical it is to create 3D renders of your room instead of photos for the blog post.

I think I found an answer: in this case, it's insanely practical.

The reason is it's a blog of a senior designer at Shopify. He has the skills to make this easy for him, and showcasing them is smart.

Not infinite if we take into the account that we have a physical car. Speed many but not infinite steps.

Everything is infinite if we think this way.

Kinesis is nice! I learned to type with 10 fingers for the first time with it.

The trackball is even better for me. Taking breaks is solid and unskippable advice too!

For me, throwing all resources I have at the problem is the only way to move forward and staying in remission.

If I don't manage to recover before Neuralink comes out, I will consider getting it.

I learned so much in these 10 years and have lots of oppurtunities, but no matter what I do, I need a healthy body first

Ask HN: Recommendations for Physical Therapists in Vancouver (Or Online) for RSI

TL;DR about me: I'm a 28-year-old Ukrainian who has been making money developing and using CS market bots* for the past 10 years. Due to depression, anxiety, and RSI, I've been unproductive for 95% of my life but still managed to save up $200k from my endeavors.Right now, my mental health is okay, but RSI is killing my productivity. It started right before I left Ukraine before the war in 2022...

It's fast and easy if you are willing to accept big losses, but slow and hard if you want to save thousands of dollars.

However, it's important not to be too cheap - a friend of mine was stuck with a $150,000 balance on CS.Money because he only wanted to withdraw money in the most optimal way.

Re:Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)? on Sunday August 25, 2024 @03:09AM (#41345120)
Right now I'm working on withdrawing money from cs.money and Steam balance.

It's been sitting there for years, and I finally found health, time, and dedication to withdraw it.

On cs.money I had $35k and on Steam balance I had $12k.

The only way to get money from cs.money trade mode is to buy skins and sell them somewhere else.

On Steam, on the other hand, I buy Steam Decks via Steam balance and sell them locally.

I have sold 3 in the last 2 days.

Last 2 days I've been taking a short break from coding a bot for cs.money to recover some health back (I have RSI).

Re:Elon Musk owns Twitter: The story so far on Friday October 28, 2022 @03:44PM (#33376713)
I always wonder: how much honesty is in him?

For example, he stopped talking about the bot population on the platform altogether after he could not get out of the deal.

Was he honest about this being a big issue in the first place?

For me, it’s not easy to believe this because this bot issue appeared right after Twitter staff did not like his speech, and talks with the CEO fell apart.

Am I mistaken about how it all played out?

If not, do you think being deceitful to a certain degree is okay?

From your point of view, do you consider him deceitful?

Re:macOS keeps a huge wallpapers cache on Tuesday September 27, 2022 @06:44PM (#33002102)
The iPhone is doing the same. The unremovable caches will kill your space with time.

I remember the Apple Music app caching and never removing any songs you’ve listened to and not showing any space it uses in settings.

But this behavior is not specific to the Apple Music app - any other can do it too. Any caches from social apps you use have a high chance of being untraceable - it all goes into "Other".

Why? Try buying a model with a higher capacity to get an answer.

I also saw this behavior with an Android device - where removing a messenger on my grandfather’s phone freed up 20+ GB of space.

Too bad I can't edit the post anymore because it got unlisted.

I think it's too hard to notice parent comment.

Maybe mods could pin it?

tldr: false alarm, unclear google

I'm back to process info and make edits.

I couldn't stay online due to injured hands from gadgets overuse.

> OP, why do you think a farm business (which gmaps are showing the location of) should be in the same place where farm land is? These simply seem to be the addresses where a "farm business" is registered, as can be confirmed on a company-info-aggregator site [1]. I assume, in a lot of cases (especially for family owned farms), these are actually homes of the owners, to simplify all the mail and other paperwork. Actual farms can be located anywhere, probably outside of town. It might even be multiple farms (multiple pieces of land). To answer your point about why these seem different (e.g. you cannot report them), I think it's because they are automatically scraped by google from the official company-info sites in each country. Seems to be a similar situation in other countries, as far as I can tell. [1] this is the info of the first item on gmaps I get - address matches the location I'm shown https://youcontrol.com.ua/catalog/company_details/21897611/

curl-up was right - these are all addresses of legally registered farms and they are Googlable.

I did not think about googling the names or how farms are registered or why Google has such weird marks.

I thought they are similar because it's the way to find them and not because they are from one trusted source.

Also, all marks I've seen were close to Russian troops. But the only border of Dnipro that's completely safe is west.

Google parses open data. I was not aware of that.

Thanks for the help and sorry for the wasted resources.

P.S. Those marks still look weird nevertheless. Not reportable or edible. The only article they link to is useless. Maybe it's worth fixing.

I'm out of resources (hands) to continue typing. Thank you all <3

While I don't have more information and sources apart from an insta story from a smart girl from Dnipro, I don't see the appearance of 10 closed farms in the industrial city beliavable.

I requested more info, but she is likely sleeping.

I’ve put some thoughts in edit on this. What do you think?
My mom mentioned this. They may be bypassing the ban.
There was a youtube channel with Ukrainian’s forces movement. I wish I could easily find it but don’t believe it’s still up.

It looked Something like this:

“MORNING IN KHARKIV 25/02”

Footage of armed vehicles moving on the city streets

1.2 million views

In times of uncertainty I always count on worst.

If chances of this true are 10% and this is indeed true, giving it some attention is worth it.

Edit: by attention I mean somebody from Google who can check things up

Today I stumbled upon information about supposed marks for the airstrikes on Google Maps.I tried cheking information myself and found it very believable. Replicate as follows:1.
