Some people on this site genuinely believe we're still in a Biden economy and when things start to look positive that's when the Trump economy starts, so you're probably right.

I wonder if this is in the typical runbook for other YC companies.

I am not using Gmail. I like having the actual order details in my email so I can keep track of various orders without needing to go to Amazon's increasingly sluggish website. Not to mention that finding previous orders via email is mu

It's not very customer obsessed when their email that they send me doesn't even have which items I've ordered.

Something about this site really makes me yearn for the internet of old.

If you read through the comments in this very thread, there's an underlying sense that many who enjoy tipping like having a feeling of "rewarding" workers, which is absurd and astounding to see justified in real time in 2026.

This is common in other countries outside of the US that do not demand tips, even western ones? When I was at a kebab shop in Germany, the owner offered my family to trial new sauces and falafel he was experimenting with, before we committe

In Asia, exceptional service is the norm and it is a taboo to tip there. The problem is the premise in the United States that exceptional service begs an exceptional tip. And often times, poor service still demands a minimum tip. As much as

Given that tips are a percentage of the overall bill, could you explain the potential performance difference between pouring a $7 bottle of wine and a $700 bottle of wine? Assuming that the customers already clearly know what they want to p

But what if it's propaganda and we improve our health and lifestyle just based on that?

Agreed, I hope the moderators here editorialize this headline to try and spur more neutral discussion. It's worth waiting to see what the outcomes of this would be.

The moderation here typically leans to whatever generates the most curious discussion, rather than sticking with inflammatory titles, even if it's what the author intends. In some way, I trust HN to become the "editors" of th

There was a time where HN would gleefully claim that if something like this ever happened, the free market would naturally correct it.

It also doesn't help that the quality of ground beef in the US is much poorer than other countries, so those who may regularly eat rare ground beef internationally would experience a level of shock if eating it in the US.

A sibling comment mentions that playing devils advocate is strongly encouraged on this site, so I want to raise a question: what if a person does not want to establish their family relationship for whatever reason?

In what way are US vehicles inferior? I've been told from many in the country that Americans make the hardiest, most rugged vehicles in the world, and everybody is clambering to get them.

You are completely wrong, the photo has "bil" on it.

Agreed. According to a duly elected Senator, those injured by the vaccines are also committing mass-suicide. How is any of this acceptable?!

This is quite distressing to hear. It's not the United States I know or even grew up in. What went wrong and how can we try to fix it?

I think the problem is that a lot of soil here in the US isn't up to the quality of other countries. It may be tastier and healthier to eat imported tomatoes than ones that we even grow ourselves.

That's interesting, every single person I know in Europe that is a meat lover is opposed to some Texas BBQ and against large portion American-style steaks in general, where the quality of US meat is perceived quite poorly.

It's not so obvious. Taking my parent comment literally (as he said "the other way around"), one can assume that ChatGPT the platform itself would pay Terrence, rather than OpenAI.

How would you envision ChatGPT paying Terrence?

The thing is, this forum often tells us that the government is not allowed to do that, it's against the law. So I'm curious why they did, and how they were able to?

I don't see why not. They're one of YCombinators most successful companies.

Do you happen to have any evidence of this? I've spoken to a few people in mid-west US and they are strongly opposed to any surveillance of their communities of any kind.

Elon has mentioned before that he intends to place AI-powered factories in space that will manufacture and install new chips, while recycling the older ones. He says it's going to be fully self-sufficient.
