Personally I'd say that if your company primarily builds its product(s) via programming then it's a tech company?

Tech companies are valued by how they dominate particular sectors/niches and the potential growth of that sector/niche. Facebook doesn't dominate social any more like it once did. It did so with Facebook itself then with inst

Entirely depends on country and business in the country. I've seen Americans try to pay for taxi's in Thailand with USD, the drivers aren't interested, it's a hassle more than anything. In cambodia on the other hand, yes

My guess is, if you look at what a subscription would actually cost to cover what ads do right now, it would be a figure so large per person that most people wouldn't pay it.

Youtube has more signals. You have upvote/downvote. All videos belong to channels which have sub counts. There's also comments. In other words, it's a lot easier on youtube to tell if a video is likely crap or not and weigh i

There's a lot of sites out there that try to answer questions people are likely to search for specifically to monetise via ads. GPT probably kills them all if it becomes more popular than standard web search and then GPT slowly becomes

I would guess many more people will move to youtube to create content and much of the web hollows out because there's no longer an incentive to write articles on many topics because they no longer get any traffic. Given that google own

This point is always brought up and it has no relevance in terms of what we're discussing which boils down to opinions on products and services from people who have some expertise in the matter. You're not going to get banned from

By the time you've reached 30 plugins of actual required functionality that effects page speed and existing caching solutions can't help you then yeah you probably need to build it custom, but there's a big old gulf of time b

There's no clear cut alternative CMS to use, that's the issue. If you own a wordpress site for your business and you want to change your dev or agency then you will have no problems finding people who understand WP and can work on

You don't get longer updates without increasing the price. If people did really care about updates outside of HN it would be a marketing feature.

Given androids market share vs iphone... the majority are indeed taking a phone with no updates over a slower phone. As long as the apps they use work ok I'm not sure the majority cares about updates security or otherwise.

Yeah basically. If people are watching AI stuff for entertainment, I don't really care or particularly think it's a problem. My issue is the impossibility of finding good information on any kind of paid products or services on the

I think more fundamentally, youtube is far less vulnerable to the chatgpt garbagisation of the web. SEO crap is already bad, it will likely get much worse. Youtube has actual good content from creators whose opinions I trust. Google would b

It's not a job. It's a hobby at best. The people who do it don't have to care about your free speech, nobody has to care about your free speech other than the government.

It's easy to understand, it'll take hours of your day on a big sub, many subs regularly advertise for mods, but most people aren't interested in the extra work.
349.
by dageshi 4y ago
My guess is, being a mod means you see patterns and you know when something is going to descend into a shitstorm because you've seen similar comments descent into a shitstorm before. So eventually mods kill comments not because they pa

I've no doubt they can make it technically speaking. It's just not enough people would buy it to make it worth their while.

by dageshi 4y ago
The same reason that stopped everyone else that tried, the mobile os market is mature and not enough people want or care about another mobile os to make it worth the effort.

My uk school had chewing gum in those places rather than nic pouches. The nic pouches are probably a LOT easier to cleanup than chewing gum.

Radio and streaming isn't equivalent though, streaming is the end product, radio was basically advertising for the music. We live in pretty much the golden age of content where more is produced than ever before and more is being spent

The ones who actually made hobbyist blogs probably went to youtube because a youtube channel is actually much better than a blog from the pov of the hobbyist. Of course it's harder to search video than a blog from the pov of someone lo

Movies are hitting streaming a month or less after hitting theaters nowadays, DVD's used to take a lot lot longer than that to come out after the theatrical run. So yes, it is different. People have been complaining about the cost of g

I don't think price is really the answer. It's convenience. Is a movie worth going to see in a cinema or should I just wait to see it via streaming. The pandemic reset peoples behaviour for streaming to be the default and cinema f

My entertainment consumption has basically moved to reading progression fantasy and litrpg on Royal Road and Kindle Unlimited. It more or less replaced everything, tv, movies, youtube, podcasts, I'd rather just read even if it's n

Interest rates have no bearing on the issue I raised. During a financial crisis (2008) people don't care about interest rates they care about the safety of their capital.

Unless there's a limit on how much can be put into the central bank account this would have an extremely severe impact during a financial crisis. The central bank account would be safer than government bonds, meaning in a flight to saf

Yeah, the hobbyists that used to make niche sites on subjects they loved have all moved to youtube for publishing their content. They were the people who made the web truly great back in the day.
