> the government broke up the monopoly and forced competition into the market by making existing players share infrastructure.

Yeah, this was excellent for 4G prices (I'm paying $8/mo for 40 GB), but now telecom companies are wary of installing 5G infrastructure, because they are forced to share it with other service providers who did not have to invest millions in new 5G infrastructure.


The same exact claims were made about 4G. Even if it delayed 4G by a year or two, it was well worth it.



Bash Bonus #2:

   seq 1 10 | xargs -n 1 ./go-grab-xkcd -s -n


Lately I've started to use Perl instead of sed for replacing text. Its regex support is much better IMO:

  cat a.txt | perl -pe 's/banana-(\d)/papaya-$1/g'
Or in-place:

  perl -i -pe 's/banana-(\d)/papaya-$1/g' a.txt


Personally I like parallel better because of the `--bar` option and `{}`, `{.}`, `{/}` and `{/.}`. And I usually just use it with `-P 1` anyway.


Also for me. Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Google Photos just load forever. Android 8.1.


So what does viable mean?


It's conceptually viable; it's just not materially viable yet.

In all seriousness, I seem to remember that there was a practice of testing for viability using very similar means – basically, are people interested enough to click through, then collect emails.

So perhaps this is a path to demonstrate viability by questionnaire.


An MVP should consist of the minimum work required to test an hypothesis. In this case the hypothesis is: "People would buy a browser if it offers an ad-free experience". So it's viable according to that idea. Viable doesn't mean useful though :)


I usually replace cat with pv and gets a nice progress bar and ETA :-)


Done.


Done. :-)
