Yes, it probably is. But for many use cases that is totally unimportant.
Could you outline/bring clarity to why that is totally unimportant for many use cases?

I can't read that article because Medium has decided that I have to login to do so (and possibly sign up). Needless to say, I won't be reading that link. Wordpress.com wouldn't have done that with your content. Just saying.
Hi, author of the piece here! You're right that WordPress wouldn't have given you a popup before you could read, for free, the article I spent a couple of months working on. It also wouldn't have provided me with any income to support creating the article in the first place. Medium, on the other hand, does. I mean, it's not much - I get a slice of the revenue from paying subscribers', based on how much they 'applaud'…
- would you mind sharing how much you actually you expect in revenue from this article?
- Have you considered any other ways of monetizing it? Just an idea: if you had your own blog and registered on Brave as a content creator, you could be getting a few cents from me already.

Saying as someone that also detests medium: - would you mind sharing how much you actually you expect in revenue from this article? - Have you considered any other ways of monetizing it? Just an idea: if you had your own blog and registered on Brave as a content creator, you could be getting a few cents from me already.
Then how much you actually get is totally up in the air. If mine's the only piece Reader A applauds that month, I get 100% of the revenue (minus Medium's cut, of course - the house always wins); if Reader B has applauded 1,000 pieces this month, I get 0.1 percent of the revenue (as do the other 999 authors.)
It's a model which is inherently insular: of the traffic that has visited the piece so far, 90% is external (and thus earns me nothing other than name-recognition) and 10% is internal to Medium. Only a tiny, tiny fraction of that 10% has applauded, and I won't know what that translates to in terms of Cash Monies until Medium calculates it and tells me. I'd be much better off promoting it to existing Medium members - such as by joining a 'publication' on Medium - and ignoring external traffic sources, but I don't want to do that.
As a ballpark, though, the answer - long in coming - is "not much, but considerably more than I'd get on Brave." The Raspberry Pi 3 B+ benchmarking piece I wrote on Medium has earned about $277 lifetime; if this earns the same, I'll have done very well indeed.
Thankfully, I'm not relying on the Medium income: I've pieces in various websites and magazines based on the same core data, which pay one heck of a lot better!

I see value in what you call home cloud. It has a lot of potential for distributing things and giving control of data back to people. Is there a place where I can follow developments like this? Also, it seems like Western Digital would be an ideal player in the space since they want to bring processing to data storage via RISC-V.
Synology is probably the biggest player in this actually. They sell NAS hardware you can just add software to, with a selection of "home cloud" software of their own.

Does it really compete with the Jetson Nano? I thought it was designed for AI stuff
Sure, if you're doing CPU-only tasks, Jetson Nano is A57 and Pi4 is A72 which is maybe twice as fast, but if you can offload anything to the GPU at all (media encoding, neural networks, matrix operations) you'll probably get some enormous gains in efficiency with the Nano.
A57 and A72 are very close in performance, as the A72 is an evolution of the A57. ARM's numbers have the A72 around 20-30% faster than the A57. The main advantage of the A72 was it fixed the horrific power problems the A57 had so in a phone usage you could actually use the CPU for longer than 10 seconds. But in raw performance it wasn't that much of a jump. A53 to A72 is around 2-3x as fast, though. A53 was the power efficient one. A57 was the performance one.
Both the Jetson Nano & Pi4 are clocked at around 1.5ghz, so the Pi4 should still eek out a bit of a CPU performance gap over the Nano. But if you're purely comparing factory vs. factory then the Nano would probably win over longer stretches as the Pi4's lack of heatsink results in it throttling down to around 1ghz after a few minutes. The Nano looks like it has a beefy enough heatsink to keep the A57's churning for a lot longer at their 1.43ghz spec.

I think most ISPs don't allow servers on residential, so one would be better off using a home cloud. Preferably one with blockchain to disrupt blocking or throttling.
Most ISP’s don’t actually care if you host a small server for a low number of users. As they shouldn’t. Seperately, you’re not going to fool anyone by calling a server something else. (Not that “home cloud” is a bad term, but I think everyone realizes that still constitutes a server.)
If we had the logs I'd bet money that someone Googled "home cloud" to see if that would somehow get around hosting a server behind residential.
I'd also bet that even more people nodded "knowingly" while reading my sentence about blockchain.
Can't wait to try Nerves ( https://nerves-project.org/ ) on this. Waiting for the US-based devs to wake up to find out what they think. This is a stunning upgrade in my eyes. Going to evaluate how it would work as a dev desktop too. Just mount it behind a monitor. iHackintosh?
The Raspberry Pi has an ARM processor, while macOS requires an x86_64 processor, so you could not build a Hackintosh. One could conceivably run iOS, as enough is understood to emulate the OS on similar hardware (see https://alephsecurity.com/2019/06/17/xnu-qemu-arm64-1/ ).
Have to look at that iOS thing. Would be interesting.

Excited too, but $55 + $13.95 shipping = $68.95 is inching closer to the $99 (free shipping) territory of the Jetson Nano.
When you add up adapters and cables the rpi is closing in on a chromebook on sale. So not that cheap any more.
