Exactly. There was a very similar discussion on here a little while ago about electric cars. For me, all I want is a simple smart watch that has great battery life, navigation with maps, and high GPS accuracy. Everything else I don't care about. The Garmin Fenix fits that bill, along with 500 other features for everyone else with their simple lists.

I used to live somewhere where there was a grocery store that was positioned between a lower socioeconomic community and a higher one. It mostly served the lower one, but stocked specialty goods (think organic). I used to hit the dumpster every day after work, and found lots of good stuff in there. I too found a couple gallons of olive oil once. At one point my girlfriend and I went all February living off of nothing but dumpster dived food (except I think we bought some almond milk) and I remember eating fine (this was a year out of college so fine is relative). The takeaway I had was that there is all kinds of food that gets thrown out which is perfectly fine to eat. I never ate disgusting rotting food like one would picture coming out of a dumpster - everything was packaged and pretty much equivalent to what you'd take off the shelves. Also that not all dumpsters are created equal.

For me it's the best $15/mo I spend. As someone who is regularly alone in the backcountry far from cell service, it's massively nice to know that I can communicate something wrong or if simply running late. And my wife also has to worry far less knowing that I can let her know if something goes wrong. She also has the ability to request my location without me doing anything in the event I were unconscious or something.

I get that this is a marketing piece, but given the title I was hoping for something a bit more specific to gaming. This is just basic web server architecture.

the difference being a nice guitar will sound better than a crappy one, and the purpose of playing a guitar is to create nice sound. sure, a mechanical keyboard may feel and sound better than a crappy one, but the purpose is to create input for a computer and it doesn't matter what it feels or sounds like (aside from enjoyment for the user)

But what is "your own server"? Yeah I host my personal site on my raspberry pi, but most people aren't going to do that. They're going to host on a server owned by a company with public stock.

I don't see how Site.js is any different than what he describes as "big web". So you create your own website and host it on a server. That's always been possible. What am I missing?
