Youre both right and wrong. Its much simpler. These people are pissed off, simply because theyre being told to be pissed off. There is no nuance, culture is what we are told at scale. Its why everyones pissed off. Anger is the easiet en

Who is "the left?" This conversation is about a specific person doing a specific act. Unless you have a specific example of something you disagree please try not to reduce the standard of discourse up in here.

Curious to all those family power users. What would you want to see in the next gen WhatsApp?

LOL A criminal fine. Is there anything more insane than nobody being personally responsible for committing a crime. Like an institution woke up and developed cognition.

I think you're longing for a US that never was. Its always been about who has "the right power" and who doesnt. Everything from Mccarthyism to the Salem Witch Hunt. it also stands to be said that America doesnt exist as Ame

This isnt even true. A conversation is just two people presenting their own versions of an idea to you (like documentaries). Sure the conversation can morph the ideas you take away, but in the end if you're worried about the packagin

LOL. Should some dude in Montana get to use an iPhone because it was funded in California? The selective "my tax dollars would never" is anti-american

There is pretty powerful statistical evidence that when Regan moved homeless services from the federal level to a state responsibility it cratered the numbers of beds (especially in small towns) and created an unsolvable situation in that w

Ive seen it as a combo of too things. Confidence of ignorance and there is nothing more motivating to succeed than feeling low social status and feeling like you should be higher.

How do you downvote comments? Sweeping statements like this are political in nature and should be banned.

Is it? It only becomes a problem retroactively. It's like two athletes, one out plays the value of his contract and the other underplays. Do you think both deals should be reworked after theyve been inked based on outcome?

This is an awful take. You dont know anything about the dynamic of their relationship or even how Scotts direct actions affected Bezos decisions or ability to function. What if Scott was the reason he felt he could take a bigger swing or

Im not sure why this is downvoted, especially on a site like HN. If you had a CEO that was anti tracking CAC and just said, doing marketing is enough. The corporate culture of employees would drift toward not tracking CAC (cost of acquisi

This barely solves anything. All public people get screenshoted and once this rolls out, I imagine someone will find a way to screenshot all tweets. HN is a huge community and I imagine full of ex-employees of Twitter, what exactly does th

This feels like a sensible conclusion. With borders closed and human to human contact relegated to only your closest family the whole annual mechanism for spreading flu (often season and triggered by air travel) goes to zero.

This an interesting original take, bravo. Death is clearly an evolutionary result as species all live in a different range of lifespans. It can neatly argued that we are now seeing consequences of this just by extending lifespans from 60 t

The irony of the guy who angrily groups all satire as"galatic'ally asshole'ish"should be rewarded with upvotes. Also, entertainment is both plural and singular jb. Like sheep.

No no no, you ID'd a very important issue but dont go far enough. You are not only right (as a CEO who def has some narcissism), but charisma \ narcissism is like crazy \ eccentric. The term changes historically post success. It beco

I dont get why. If you want the upside of businesses of scale (profits) why would you not get the downside of criminality at scale? This is a moralistic version of privatize the gains and socialize the losses. Im not even a big law and ord

I think in 100 years this general thought will be something we look back on as obvious and the denial of it barbaric.

It's not semantics. If you killed someone committing their own separate crime, you'd be both a killer and potentially a hero. It is important to make clear he both committed a very serious crime and potentially blew the whistle i

This is it. These people are money managers that market based on owning x amount of one of the top 50 companies each year in order to raise a new fund. If they take smaller % the model fails both executively and from a marketing perspecti

You;'re right, but I think you're seeing China finally being taken seriously for the future and with that comes and expectation of reciprocity of commerce. If you want to fight to be the most important economy/culture you no

It's all just legacy from the insane power dynamic that comes from a relatively broke entrepreneur and an investor with money. The only thing that seems to stem true about the myth about "founders should be paid too much" is

What? I was implying punitive measures in general, but the logic on COVID in jail seems to be a bad one. If you can't be in public and respect the spread of the virus, at what point do we take you out of circulation until the danger h
