The evil and hell comment is over the top I would agree. But, per the executive in the article, it (not porting iMessage to Android) is purely a decision made for ecosystem lock-in which "[wouldn't] cost [them] a lot to run”, not

Made me wonder what the real length would be. Per this random website [0], a 5/8th inch rubber-vinyl hose weighs 2.52 oz/foot, A.K.A. 234.39 g/m. Therefore, 19.76 tons of cocaine (or, you know, whatever) in hose-equivalent wo

When north of a billion people use you Craigslist feature and your Snapchat copy feature spawns 3 business lines larger than Snapchat itself within each of your platforms, I think it's fair to call them products even if they live under

Yet, in the US, they make less per paid subscriber than Facebook does per free user . There's also 3 to 4 times the amount of said free users as there are of those paid users. Netflix's first free-cash-flow positive year was 20

Why do people insist on reinventing it when FAAMG works just fine? Also makes no sense to keep Google (Alphabet) but swap out Facebook (Meta).

That's a dangerous gamble which cannot be put back in the box in the event that it fails to be less dangerous. Like throwing a enormous amounts of sulfur in the atmosphere to take out CO2. It's the sort of decision that would have

Here's a fourth factor: people upvoting before reading it (but possibly after skimming it or being aware of it's context) in order to keep it highly ranked (which is score + time sensitive) in order to trigger HN discussing the su

I find the introduction video [0] better shows what it does/can do. So... I guess inserters [1] are a thing, wonder how long until we get the tech for fast and stack inserters. Glad we skipped the burners, good strategy as it is such a

> white goods are mid-century if not older Unless I misunderstand the meaning of mid-century ('50-'70), sounds over-board, no? You're unnecessarily paying for a second-hand 10 year-old Energy Star fridge many times over in

Might be a silly question, I own a domain that is my first initial + last name dot dev for my portfolio. What's a decent, or usual, prefix to use with such a domain as a personal email for job applications? Bonus point if it is English

It's always been about free cash flow, Bezos was wise enough to call it their North star since the very beginning, see his 2004 letter [0]. Neither earnings for a company that aggressively reinvests nor sales for a company that's

I'm a small-time retail amateur and consider myself conservative with my portfolio (I stock-pick so that may be generous) so take this with a spoonful of salt. But to me, by buying in SPACs, or IPOs for that matter, one is trying to pl

Out of curiosity, can Facebook do something more with a dummy account presumably linked to you IP than they can with any other unregistered person tracked over Facebook Connects, friend's contact syncs, etc.?

Ohhh.. speak of looking at the finger rather than the moon. That makes a lot more sense, thank you. For my defense I never came across it yet, IIRC, but I'm not sure it excuses it.

I'm not clear what you are trying to hint towards. With your comment I figured he would be a Google developer or a long-time dev (hence likely to be exposed to Gmail early on to snatch first.last), but from what I see he was a few year

Can't see GP's comment (flagged, like 7/11 OP ITT) so I don't know if I'm on-topic or not. After Bourla's appearance on Lex's podcast and the latter's mention of a 100% claim on the blue bird app whic

I don't know about r/philosophy, but if it's grown too large to be usable, as many do, look for subsets of philosophy (by genre, philosopher, etc). I'm sure there are more niche subs with decent communities.
