Counterargument: As a customer, I much prefer PayPal (or Google Pay, or Apple Pay) over some random integration where I need to enter my credit card. It's not a dealbreaker for me, but if the PayPal integration exists, I'm using i

Reddit is generally more tech-oriented folks, but the company is doing everything it can to make it more appealing to everyone. Most people hanging out on the chatgpt subreddit aren't programmers though. I feel like most programmers ha

Same. I find that hn crowd is pretty well educated. It's almost a replacement for reddit, which has gone way downhill for me. I don't care about writing a webserver in scheme or whatnot. I come here for this stuff these days. I wi

The big question I'd ask is "do we need AGI?" Surely an LLM could take over the ordering flow at say, Jack in the Box today. That's gotta be true for a lot of different situations.

I don't think him moving to Texas had anything to do with it. I do think he became deeply unpopular in many circles because of the anti COVID takes though. He went from a bro-y, kinda douchey guy who seemed harmless to a spokesperson f

Where is the top talent going to go? Seems like a vast majority of FAANG* ended up laying folks off.

I always see stuff like this, especially on HN, and get impostor syndrome from it. I do it because it's a job, and I need money. I program to _solve problems_, not because I love programming. Some people just really love programming. I

Most FAANG companies grow managers from within, with many managers starting as ICs. Anecdotally, I've never had a manager that wasn't super technical. They wouldn't last.

I disagree there has been no large scale impact. We're starting to see it roll out, and there is a ton of potential here. Msft literally just rolled out Teams premium. That's not nothing IMO. We're seeing it start to get inte

I'm sorry, but how does moving to Linux and open source help when someone gets 'attacked' by Microsoft IP space? I like Linux as much as the next guy but I can't help but feel this isn't a very... useful suggestion.

Talk about websites I shouldn't have had access to when I was young. Porn, drugs, and bombs. A great time to be alive.

Premium features. Heart rate tracking, the ability to map rides, the ability to compare prior segments. For most people, it makes all of zero sense. For someone who spends 500h+ a year on their bike, it's an easy purchase. Strava kinda

When I bought my house, the first two purchases were a super fancy bidet (Toto Ultramax II with an S550E+), and a fancy dishwasher. Best purchases ever.

It doesn't seem like it works all that well either... Their example is the headphone search. That Reddit post is a few months old, and has _one_ comment on it. The thread asks specifically about closed-back headphones under $150. Somet

Isn't that the benefit of hackernews to ycombinator? You have an incredible reach with highly technical users, and you can inject your hiring ads into the posts.

It was honestly hard for me to tell if this was real or parody. Initially, I thought this was something like /dev/null as a service, but it looks like it's actually a real product trying to solve... some problem? Can't s

While I agree that EVs make sense in a lot of cases, I feel like you're min-maxing your values here to be as beneficial as possible to EVs. Filling my (non economical, okay mileage) car takes ~5 minutes. I get ~300mi range from it. 30
