Deal is, big corps want it. Everything as a service. Easy to write off. Easy to ramp up and down as needed.

This is probably survivorship bias at work. A lot of startups have strong sense of self worth because they believe they are hiring/have the best candidates with their process. Let's be realistic, you can probably build a really go

We're already at unsustainable YoY rent increase levels in many places IMO. I for one have no problems moving if my LL decides to increase my rent ANY percentage. I know that over the course of my next lease I will always be able to co

I like many others struggle to find something of interest on Netflix. I also don't want to subscribe just for one movie/show. With all the other services popping up, I really think this market is starting to become too fragmented.

I can see that in a lot of cases. Accustomed, sure. I consider myself pretty adaptable, but still prefer Chromes UX over FF. If FF could be tuned easily to act "exactly" like Chrome, that might ease the transition for a lot of peo

This kind of post comes up every few weeks here on HN. I also revisit FF every once in a while, last time being when all the news went about Chrome possibly breaking ad-blockers. Chromes UX is still better than FF, IMO.

RE: As on-demand services like Uber and Lyft grow their customer bases, more people will decide they no longer need to own a car of their own. Is it really more expensive to own than use a ride share service? Seems to only be reasonable whe

Yes. As with firefox, they've made some design/ux decisions I'm not a fan of.

Mostly this, performance is atrocious on a lot of sites I use. I also dislike its history management, download management, auto-complete, search in address bar functionality, pocket integration, and much more. I'm sure if I were forced

Tried out Firefox again a few days ago. Still prefer chrome. If add blocking becomes an issue with chrome, I'll definitely make the switch because of that and just hate it or go back to safari and hate it just as much

I work in the accounting space. In the current systems we develop today this would need to be able to handle trillions(up to 14 places) at least and most likely quadrillions(up to 17 spaces) These amounts happen already due to certain count

Not really. In a world where self interest is put above most things. It's pretty difficult to not be at least a little cynical.
