The emotional favoritism in these poll results is laughable so far. Everyone and their cousin on HN loves to shit on Facebook, so lo and behold, it gets the worst ranking, followed by Google. Apple, despite a number of very consumer-hostile choices, is barely considered a potential failure. I would assume that those voting would choose based on a rational analysis derived from their personal knowledge of tech trends, instead of simple personal dislikes. Oops..
- chillacy 5y agoThe poll should be phrased as: Which FAANG would you short-sell relative to long positions on the others to maximize return in 5 years? Then at least we can measure performance, otherwise there isn't really a right or wrong answer we can evaluate.
- trynumber9 5y agoApple has a loyal customer base and is designing some of the most amazing silicon to come out of Silicon Valley. Meanwhile, Facebook's greatest strength is quickly copying or buying their promising new competitors. Somehow that seems like the strategy of company trying to prevent hemorrhaging. And it doesn't seem likely to scale long term now that they're on government radar.
