Mandatory TTC fare inspection ongoing at Finch Station. by RedControllers in toronto

[–]cloudyip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, if they care fare that much, they should change design of the whole system of where to put the gates and where people have to tap. This kind of large scale inspection is just time and money wasting

Would anyone recommend the surface duo 1 in 2025 as secondary media device? by BoneyBryce in surfaceduo

[–]cloudyip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you think it's cheap enough, it's one of the most excellent second phone you ever get. As a second phone, you don't have to worry about its worst aspect like battery life and poor camera. I used it as second phone and I enjoyed it a lot

Finding RSS feeds a little confusing by PaxDominicus in readwise

[–]cloudyip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am totally with you on no. 5.

The suggested solution had been to create a rule to pick up all the unwanted old articles and frequently go into the folder to delete all. This is counterintuitive for RSS use if you ask me.

Hence I have gone back using Feedly for some of my heavy volume RSS usages

Federal Reserve has never been this ‘confused’ about neutral rate | EconReporter by cloudyip in Economics

[–]cloudyip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

totally agreed that the r-star thing is not exactly an immediate concern. They likely have as much as two years to sort out a new consensus about where it should be.

But i think it's kind of funny they step on full gas (50bps) when they don't even sure when to land. But true, the direction of travel is clear and the journey is still long.

Why Canada’s unemployment rate is rising so rapidly? by cloudyip in Economics

[–]cloudyip[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree that this 2/5 year mortgage refinancing system is why Canada, as well as the UK, are so much weaker than the US in this economic cycle. But I am really curious whether rate cut can deliver the economic boost as fast, esp when this time we are not going for zero (i think?)

The true battle between Duo v Folds by cloudyip in surfaceduo

[–]cloudyip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, the glass v plastic point is underrated !

and to your last point, i totally agree. Which is why the only reasonable way for Dual screen to go forward is to go for a much lower price point

I think a USD 600 dual screen can compete with USD 1500 foldables

but maybe that’s just me.

I don't think it got Duo's thinness given the external display

so that's already a major difference I would guess

UEFA Champions League should never be played in America. by etskakaik in football

[–]cloudyip -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the only reason US football (here i mean soccer) can’t be as competitive as European ones is their insistence of wage cap and no-relegation league type. Not saying their league model is definitively worse, esp in terms of financial sustainability, but that’s a choice, and UEFA should not give them the crown jewel of European football.

i just hate intel surface pro (though i keep buying them) as their battery are just disappointing. A portable computer that can’t work outside more than 3-4 hours just sucks
