The simple fact is that YouTube just isn’t good enough to pay the amount of money for that Google wants for it. Accordingly, if other ways to use it besides premium aren’t available, I’ll stop using it and recover some time in my day.

Rooftop gardens and semi open high floor shared areas are possible… Not necessarily a huge amount of space, but I’ve seen it work. Just need the apartment building to be built with a decent budget.

Perhaps it’s unfair to people who want to have kids but can’t that IVF is so expensive, but really, there’s one thing that affects birth rate more than anything else: cost of housing with decent nearby amenities, infrastructure etc. If housing were cheaper, people would have more kids… Simple.

So if you want to solve the social equity problem, subsidize IVF. If you want the birth rate to increase, knock down the barriers to entry and high costs in the housing market.

I always just turn DRM off and don’t subscribe to these things… Now I know I had a better reason than I thought I did.

Or you could make public transport run faster and more efficiently and faster, reducing the number of people who drive.

Some of the best deals on Low End Box come in a fair bit cheaper than that. Not so long ago there were truly low-end deals on OpenVZ in the realm of $1-$2 per month, and I’ve seen Racknerd servers for $20 a year. If you’re going to pay $5/mo you could get Linode/Akamai, Digital Ocean, Vultr, etc. It all depends what you want specs-wise and what your risk appetite is - the lower-end / newer players might be less reliable than the more established ones, use older hardware, or have additional AUP restrictions on them. It’s a matter of matching your needs carefully with what you are buying.
