What's your desired outcome of a program like this? The purpose of antitrust is to encourage competition for the benefit of consumers. Improving competition is a necessary, but not sufficient outcome. Creating competition for competiti

I find the attitude of many folks on HN, arguably a forum full of logicians, baffling at times. I don't use 0 dollars to contextualize the cost of 1Password (or any productivity software). I value the time that I save with it. It saves

I think this is on you. Take a break from the news and from the chatter. I too read Lily's trans explanation for the Matrix. Unlike you, I wasn't triggered by the film. I didn't even think about it too much and, when I did th

I agree with you. I think it tried less to shit on the original movie than make you deeply question what you believed to be true about the original movie (and trilogy). On one hand, you could believe that this was all some cheap gimmick to

You nailed it. Cloud Atlas is one of my favorite movies of all time and, yet, it is like cilantro – some people love it, some people hate it. The opinions about the movie are so polar that I feel it's genetic. I also enjoyed Resurrecti

Bound? Cloud Atlas? Speed Racer? Reloaded, as a pure action flick? One thing I admire about the Wachowskis is their insane ambition. You either hate it or love it but let's not pretend like they were just lucky.

You’re making a misleading comparison. If you want to liken the 737 MAX’s failures to road traffic, you have to ask yourself if there’d be broad acceptance of shoddily built, fault-intolerant bridges and freeways. Moreover, would that accep

If you scale up Avalanche's fees to ETH's market cap, the fees are essentially the same. The low fees on Solana make it more prone to spam. The entire chain was down for 17 hours in September and has recently been facing some majo

The generosity of Apple's support during Steve's era was unparalleled. It created a great deal of goodwill for the company within the iPhone/Mac community. Like you said, supports now is delayed, difficult, rigid, and mercile

Apple replaced the bent iPhones on the spot for free. That said, the iPhone 6 represented peak Jony Ive. I'm glad he's gone. Apple has walked back their obsession with thinness in favor of maximizing utility, all to the benefit of

This is not true. Norm has said publicly in a radio interview that he thought that talking about cancer in a stand up act was the height of narcissism. In regards to Norm's age, Norm incorrectly listing his/others' ages has b

Note that the bit could also have alluded to the fact that he was a deeply closeted cancer patient. There's almost a decade of Norm content that has to be totally recontextualized.

There's no reason to doubt the veracity of his story. As Norm has said before: "It’s not facts, but it’s truth."

I went deep into the PLR rabbit hole because I too believed that PLR could have been Satoshi. The one dagger to the heart of the theory is that PLR lived in the Philippines at the time. If you line up Satoshi’s posting times with PLR’s loca

It's really sad. There used to be a time when I'd try to recall a specific page on the internet and I'd be able to use a zillion search operators to narrow in to the page that I was looking for. Now, that's impossible. I

I love a good piano jazz album because it makes typing on a computer keyboard so much more fun when you’re in a flow state. I highly recommend Bill Evans Trio: The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings and Ryo Fukui: Scenery as they are two

I do not agree with the quoted train of logic in the context of an antitrust suit. It leads to the conclusion that X (Facebook) should wage an antitrust lawsuit against Y (Apple) in order to achieve an outcome that would help tame the growt

I don’t think this is it. US farming is vastly more productive than in India or China. It has less to do with the cost of labor but the nature of labor, ie these robots don’t have a niche.

I don't think that's the right way to think about this situation. The fact that Lee Kun-Hee is dead means that the family's efforts to restructure the company, consolidate power, and offshore assets is complete. Elliot Manage

If the candidate dies pre-election: the party picks a replacement. If they die after winning but pre-electoral college: electors pick. If they die after the electors vote: then standard succession rules apply.
