The project was recently discussed on HN as well. It has its issues but it works.

- Is it a viable way of short to mid distance urban transport? Can you bunny-hop it to overcome e.g. curbs?
I’ve learned to appreciate simplicity in machines. For a long time I thought of a skateboard as the simplest one for transport but this got me thinking.

Spotify is so cheap that it is worth it for the convenience alone. Not to mention Spotify is legal while piracy is not.
However, I agree that if you enjoy music (or any other art/content) someone produces, it’s only fair (and natural) to support them in a more direct way.
- Is it HPE Aruba Instant On? Great APs.

- Doesn’t really surprise me. I remember reading the article linked below from which I quote:
> Forced to raise their game, carmakers are only now realizing they cannot repeat past mistakes such as letting others build up parts and services businesses off the back of their core product. "They stole the business from us," Martinet says, referencing as an example windshield replacement companies. "So I don't want them to steal the next one."
Xavier Martinet is the President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Europe.

- In case of YouTube I wouldn’t be so sure. Yes, it’s the central hub for making your name but many YouTubers came up with their own platforms for exclusive content to have more control over their business once they got big. PeerTube is inline with that idea and because of that might be promoted by big creators soon.
