Would you rather buy from Jeff Bezos or a Chinese state-owned enterprise? Those are your likely options within the next 5-10 years.

Does Jeff Bezos believe we need white solidarity to survive because non-white people are a threat to white men?

They could make it 1000GB for US$10/month and I still wouldn't give any money to a company associated with that man.

"That man" is the only person so far who's actually helped the Iranian people get their voices heard amidst government shutdown of the entire internet. Like it or not, Persians love him.

The more I learn about Musk's past, his family, his ties to the paypal mafia, the more I want absolutely nothing to do with him. Him or any of his companies will never see a penny from me.

That's such an unique viewpoint that no one has expressed on the internet. Thank you for bringing value to this comments section.

I'm surprised that you signed up for an account just to say something this empty

There are still telcos offering 2GB plans. Wow. I’m on the cheapest plan and it comes with 400GB.

Where are you and how much do you pay?

Cheapest plan here in Romania is 75 GB for 2 euro/month, then the speed is limited to 1 Mbps.

I’m 100% on the same boat. The only competitor I can see is Amazon Leo. Having options is great but they both suck.

As if Bezos is better. Elon has a much higher slope but he’s got a head start to catch up on, before they’re all hunting humans for sport on Ellison’s private island.

Bezos worst offense is meeting with Trump and donating to his campaign (and if you follow the leftist ideology, being a billionaire).

But based on personal experience with some very wealthy people, I truly believe they are just out of touch with the real world to understand what they are doing politically. Imagine if your days could be spent doing all the things you ever could wish, you would most likely not even bother reading stuff like reddit or HN, and certainly won't have time to look into any snippet of news in detail.

Musk on the other hand, is mentally ill.

Elon Musk is a deluded addict who thinks he's doing the right thing, Jeff Bezos is in it for himself only and knows it.

> Be aware that it is bits, so 62.5kb Ok, I’m not normally one to be the pedantic bits/bytes guy, but if you’re gonna go and make a bit/byte “clarification” you need to get the annotation correct or you'll just confuse everyone. It’s 500kb (small b for bits) and 62.5kB(capital/big B for bytes).

Shouldn’t it actually be KB or even KiB?

K is for Kelvin, so probably not. kB or KiB, depending on intent.

> I'm actually a huge fan of "unlimited slow speeds" as a falloff, instead of a cliff. When on cellular, I like to call that "HN-only mode." It is one of the few web properties that is entirely usable at 2G speeds.

I would kill for a web renaissance to return to this format of webpages, as least as an option. Not only loading improves, but also navigation and accessibility.

CBC News has a lite version of their news site that they tend to promote around times of natural disaster.
