I don't know, but one thing I do know is React was practically DOA with their initial license They changed it, yes. But do you trust them after that? Let alone the company responsible for Free Basics in India (and other countries)?

I've seen some people right here on HN say that Whatsapp was an inspired acquisition and Zuck is a great product guy, knows what to buy and who to hire Counterpoint: he's a monopolist and scummy person ( https://news.yco

I think it's amazing how I can get downvoted for the smallest of things What you say is plausible, I haven't directly seen the evidence for it but I'm not inclined to completely doubt you But I think back to the time where ev

You didn't say it outright so this is not me correcting you specifically, but there's this semi-myth that "Honnold doesn't feel fear because that region of his brain is smaller than everyone else's". He, at lea

I think a company that makes products that last may actually literally be more rare than the discovery of alien life in the universe (Who makes the incentives at Google?! Seriously)
