Yes, this is a tech thing in particular. You don't see VC being raised for a plumbing company, they'll get an SBA loan or bootstrap. They don't need to grow 10x every year, if the owners can pay their bills and send their kid

That’s a pretty good sign that we have too many bureaucrats if they have the time to care about this (pun intended)

Okay I'll elaborate, it's better for community building and answering questions for nascent companies or organizations. A lot of the time there's a big disconnect between a community and how a product is intended to be used.

So your argument is "other countries don't care about free speech, America should be more like other countries? This is a bizarre take, I was with you up until the last word.

Disagree. Yes, forums with nested comment structure and voting are better for preserving and indexing data, but synchronous communication (like Discord) is better for having actual conversations and building community. Back and forth volley

Yes, that’s the point, everyone has these expectations of Tesla to make it impossible to circumvent safety features, but the same standard isn’t applied to other car manufacturers; HN just loves to bash on anything related to Elon.

Yeah, they’ll even let you drive if you don’t have your seatbelt on, how dare they allow the owner to have any control at all /s

Ah, a bunch of city dwellers telling making decisions about land they’ve never even been to, cool.

I think it specifies in the article that the interval is longer because Teslas don’t need oil

I don’t understand how tech companies aren’t being sued for reneging on their promises, it seems like an announcement like “unlimited storage forever” is a unilateral contract that has been broken. If someone puts up a reward sign for a los

I looked it up, it turns out you’re right, Apple didn’t invent it, there was just a lot of stuff with “pod” in the name in that era. Either way, common usage of the term “podcast” has changed. Language is defined by how it’s used.

Yes, the word has become a generic term for "long format audio, usually between a few minutes and a few hours, sometimes accompanied with video depending on the platform". Like Saran Wrap, the company failed to enforce the usage o

What a bullshit article, they don’t even link to the tweets. Let me decide the severity of the misstep, don’t just tell me that it’s very dangerous, you couldn’t possibly handle seeing it.

This is a welcomed addition of nuance, but I think it thematically fits with the general narrative. If your current situation is not optimal, and we pose a dichotomy of choosing to take control of your situation or self pity, then taking co

All of these self-proclaimed “platforms” need to be regulated: no participation in your own platform (Amazon Basics), or at least no self-preferential treatment, caps on platform usage fees closer to 3-5%, neutral and open source search alg
