You don't win a metric.
- gruez 6y agoMaybe with a definition that you can only "win" a competition that was agreed upon ahead of time. However, a quick search on hn shows that "win" colloquially also can mean beating everyone else at some metric (or in some cases, on a subjective basis). eg. "Chrome won" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14420972 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14420972, despite the lack of an actual competition for internet browser market share "Linux and open source have won, get over it" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23673867 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23673867 "Teenage Engineering has won over kids and professionals with a synthesizer" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20527069 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20527069
