I think you'd be surprised. People interpret art how they want. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musicians_who_oppose_Donald_Tr...

They're adding backlinks to other sites. They're either making revenue from those sites, or (more likely) selling backlinks to unsavory products.

Great, show me something they consistently misrepresent. I agree that everyone has, by definition, some bias, but NPR/PBS tend to avoid editorialization significantly more than their counterparts.

I mean, in theory I like this. But look what happened to NPR and PBS; it was ultimately at the behest of the president. They lost their revenue for not saying the "right" things.

American here. I'm equally confused, but I think it's playing into the types of people who were previously into crypto or sports betting or prediction markets. Every sports bar I go to, there's some middle-aged finance bro na

I bet OpenAI genuinely believes they're using their money to help free media exist. And TBPN genuinely believes this is the right choice for economic freedom so they can continue to operate. I bet they even had a convo such as "we

Agreed. But building something new takes capital, and it’s really hard to find it for an open source tool. FWIW, it worked for Bun (at least for the VCs and employees), so there is a model there that works.

He may have the same title, but he’s way closer to an engineer than Elon/Bezos/etc. My analogy was taking VC money and using it to build an open source tool.

Yeah, I was being nice, but this writer upset me. He sees Ryan Dahl as Nero, but he’s a lot closer to Robin Hood.

I didn’t like the tone of this. Building a company is hard. Building an VC-backed open source product is really, really hard. I know on HN we don’t always love CEOs, and that’s okay… the ethos of startups has changed over the past 10 years,

I “get” technology so I understand how you got here. But this is the wrong take. I expect to go to a restaurant and not die from the food… and I want nothing to do with the inner workings of the kitchen. I just want to know any restaurant I

Sure, me too. But that was the point of his character – the false equivalence that he was the good guy, and those are the two options. He justified ignoring the rules, which lead to the death of someone in his command, due to his own moral

For me, it's the blur between who makes decisions. I don't love our government making decisions about who lives or dies, but I much prefer decisions to be made by a/ a human b/ one who isn't beholden to shareholders

I had this happen yesterday to me, and Claude itself was able to recover it via the other conversations... I just had to tell it that it did the work and to find it in its other conversations.

I do agree... I sometimes use worse grammar (like that ellipses) and leave in typos just so my comments feel more "real" now.

Hey Chase! Congrats on everything you, Grace, Thomas and the rest of the team built. I know it wasn't always what you expected it to be from the inside, but from the outside nobody saw that. They just saw something amazing. Your Startu

I'd go as far as to say I think harder now – or at least quicker. I'm not wasting cycles on chores; I can focus on the bigger picture.

Interesting, I feel the opposite. I always tend to associate askers and extroverts, and feel us introverts are tired all the time because of all the guessing going on during human interactions. But of course, your opposite takeaway also mak

I found this 10+ years ago, and it was one of the most important things I ever read. As a consummate Guesser, it reframed my perspective completely. I started to be much happier and understanding with Askers. I also realized how frustrating

I guess I don't see the problem? Nothing lasts forever, and everyone involved knew the risks. That money wasn't purely wasted, it went into salaries and other products. At least half ended in exits and became a part of another com

I disagree. A good framework makes code more maintainable, and makes it so you can focus on what’s important or unique to your product. It certainly makes you faster.

There's also a free version, and a $79/mo tier. We're also free for open source projects on our higher tiers. If it's not for you, that's okay! But an increasing number of documentation teams are cross-functional (m

Congrats on the launch! I run a documentation product, ReadMe. There's a lot of reasons to roll your own, but I'd recommend you also look into a third-party tool like us. One of the biggest reasons to use a product is that the bui

I love Tailwind, and I am really sorry Adam and co are going through this. They've built a great product, and it's brought joy back building again for me. It's really hard to run a company, especially when your product is mos

As a former contractor and current hirer of contractors, I wish I understood this more when I was on the other side. This story is an outlier (10x!) and probably should have involved more communication, but the ultimate lesson checks out. I

Basically that the multiple departments involved have different objectives. Imagineering is trying to build the coolest things possible, and many times the things seen in parks are play-tests. Operations has to find the money and resources

I don't think that's an incorrect statement to say it's too expensive for most Americans, even if there's still high traffic at the parks. Disney has become significantly less accessible for the average family of 4. Asid

Maybe? It’s broken into chapters, and covers a ton of history. It’s engaging, and more of a journey than a singular answer. A lot of people in this thread have vouched for Defunctland. Might not be for everyone, but I find the pacing great.
