Also weak regulators. But regulators have it tough; the Uber business model isn’t viable so if it was properly regulated there’d be no Uber - and since regulators represent their constituency that’ll never happen because the public quite li

All of these calls about which way to build software are judgment calls. For example - a monolith has strong benefits but when you reach a certain size & team size it makes sense to split out some things - but you should still keep the

Just think - we are only reading this because this time the person was caught. Makes you wonder how many times people have succeeded at this - but of course, by definition we’ll never know.

I get it, the alternative is something akin to a pyramid scheme - updates have to be funded by future sales. That works for me if I’m already a customer - but the company has to keep selling to keep funding their services. However taken to

Warning: not an economist :) I recognize your point but am wary of it being supported with direct job creation numbers, as that doesn’t reflect the scale of secondary industries (ie. indirect jobs created by oil & mining may be a larger

Bit of a shame to see almost all manufacturers do subscriptions. Hope it’s a fad.

I hadn’t thought to try it for driving, thanks for the suggestion! Looks like it has potential based on a quick test at home, will give it a go on the next car trip.

Couple of thoughts on Warp's feature for documentation of command line args... seems doable as open source. Hypothetically if an LSP-server existed for command line args, it could be integrated at the shell prompt to create an autocomp

Seems to be the exhaustion that happens when you’ve built up waste products that need to be cleared by sleep. But has anyone found success re-establishing that fresh mind without sleeping? Maybe meditation can help?

Seems like a great idea! Stirs up competition within a cohort and there’s bound to be idea sharing between teams. YC claims to bet on people not ideas, so as another commenter pointed out, if a team pivots there’s no longer a competition. M

VC backed companies need to return money to VCs, and public companies have a fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value. There's no long term equilibrium in a regime that single mindedly focuses on one incentive and demands growth of

Seems like there’s an opportunity to build an AI B2B SaaS that flags companies’ sketchy comms to be scrubbed. No surprises here frankly; for a public company, sticking to “don’t be evil” conflicts with fiduciary duty, and only the latter is

There are 2 main kinds of advice that get labeled best practices in an attempt at persuasion: 1. Advice which worked in one situation - “we tried Agile, everyone should use it!” 2. Proven stuff like code review, which you call best practice

Hi @yihlamur, Thanks for being so prolific in the comments here. Looks like the OP also posed a few questions. Would love to hear any thoughts you have on those! Very curious to hear your thoughts.

I hope so. Commoditization should be part of every product’s lifecycle. If the incumbent can’t meet demand then that unmet demand becomes a juicy target. And if it won’t meet demand (or its prices are too high or it raises its prices to m

Thanks to whoever linked directly to the video! It’s so refreshing when you go straight to the action - like that one time you went to the movies and the movie.. just, started. Beautiful scenes!

Most comments so far are complaints about things not working how they “should” - be careful of getting rage baited, people. What you’ve read is nothing more than a grab bag of rage-bait comments from a psychology expert promoting his latest

These people of PearAI made a series of mistakes and felt the burn of the community. Give them a chance to learn from it, you might be pleasantly surprised. They’re people, and most people learn from mistakes. I’m assuming it was all done i

The “best before” and “consume by” dates are not lies. They’re dates after which the manufacturer believes you won’t enjoy the product as much.

Very interesting and informative piece, but it includes an assumption without evidence - which is, food that’s unwanted in its first use on a shelf is not put to its best possible use after it proves unwanted. Where does “wasted” food actua

If GH accounts turn into MS accounts, that's a sure sign it's time to take your repos elsewhere, because the wrong people are in charge. Might mean a little more work to help reimplement GH features in the platform of choice. Not

I decided to try every integer denominator less than 1,000,000 to see how rare this is. A few fun facts: Constraining denominators to 4 digits (<10,000) there are NO better fractions than 355/113. Constraining denominators to 5 digi
