Strongly agree, but the challenge is that it is not a hard and fast distinction within a single product/app. Take Snapchat for example (popular with the under 18 crowd). It is both a messaging tool to communicate with friends (great) a

Their revenue in 2022 was ~$15M - This amounts to about 50 years of revenue for their company risk free. They had a strong case but nothing is certain in a courtroom. It is hard to look at nearly a billion dollars and not take the sure thin

This is why I read the comment section of HN before clicking the link. It makes sense that Salesforce would want to reduce their office space after laying off ~10% of their workers, but title of the article really should be changed to refle

You’re generalizing the particular. This is a fear of a very specific variety of future. Nobody is afraid of the a future that has a vaccine for HIV or the elimination of extreme poverty. The one where we are inundated with AI is special.

In all of this it's a matter of scale. Products with 100 million users can amortize the costs over a much larger number of deployments. Even the smallest details become valuable at that point. Conversely, at a certain level of deploym

This is going to elude a quick explanation. The problems are very specific to San Francisco, so trying to fit this into a national narrative or attribute it to a single factor is not going to work. * The voters sacked the old DA. He wasn&#x

The feedback to this article seems hyperbolically vicious. But frontend web dev always feels like a field with a lot of very sharp opinions about things. In some contexts, yes using Lerp to go half way to a target can lead to running foreve

What are you talking about? There is a Meta Logo Favicon, "Meta AI" appears in the header and "Meta AI" is purposefully centered in the ABF text. Registering a new domain costs $10 compared to the massive pain of involvi

Invading the Baltics is generally a bad idea since it risks starting WWIII. I think you are overlooking the sovereignty of those former territories. Russia’s sovereignty is only mitigated in so far is it includes the right to stage military

Citation needed. Depends on how big of a multi you are talking about. I know way more people with $1-10M who did it via corporate ladder climbing through FAANG than I do people who struck it big with a startup. At a certain point the balanc

It’s omission. They built for Americans because they were Americans. No one building this said “let’s ignore Canadian politics” or any other country, they just didn’t think about them at all, because like most Americans they don’t really ca

The drop in Crime and the increasing financialization of the American economy might also be contributing factors. It was a great ad campaign, but the calling it heroic exaggerates the importance.

This framing is a bit hyperbolic. Saying Glaser was even the most influential art director of that era feels tenuous. But does anyone seriously think that a tourism ad campaign saved New York, or that a poster is what made Bob Dylan famous?

This is a total false equivalence. Crossing two apples falls within the same neighborhood. Crisper blasts it to another continent. There is a reason you don’t need to harden classic seeds produced from fruit for 6+ generations. This is like

This is a pretty sensible policy. Things that are ‘natural’ typically have a much longer period of human and animal use. The amount of data that is latent in their extensive history offers much more certainty about their long term safety th

This is very different. Oil is a modern innovation with a lot of fundamental problems. Animal meat is as old as time and the problems are more about modern scale and consumption and production patterns (mild regulatory changes would suffice

That is very cool. I remember seeing a post on this and there was a line of thinking to the tune of "modern engineers are no where near as impressive as the ones 50 years ago". Someone woking in astronautical engineering asking a

This dissent is well justified. AR glasses are a very dubious solution looking for a problem (that also bring up a lot of their own problems). Modern phones do so much and are totally ubiquitous. In the design of consumer electronics, it
