I understand this is a poem that is focused on artistic expression and not scientific accuracy, but I find the line about “carbon in our souls” to be out of place. I guess the rest of the poem is incidentally correct (when not abstract)

I guess you’re implying that resignation would be the more just course of action from the CEO, but I don’t think everyone sees it that way (not me for 1). I think resignation would be the more cowardly move. The ceo dug a deep hole and at l

> its competitors essentially exist only by virtue of being kept around by them Just this competitor though...? Apple and Microsoft certainly don't exist purely by virtue of being kept around by Google.

I don’t think that’s true at all? Support was setup and had been streaming into to Ukraine for a long time before any confirmation of a war, much less images. I remember when trump was president and there was the dispute where he was holdin

Is losing information on the war really a bad thing? I mean of course it is for people living in Ukraine who need updated information to survive. (But I would also hope they have govt sponsored alternatives) But I actually thought it was de

Oh yeah you're right. I read it as "developers in the non-Bay Area" Nonetheless, I don't think the point changes. One group getting less doesn't usually mean that it's going to transfer over and some other grou

That’s true but there’s also a steep positive benefit in information density and fidelity. Compare written instructions for e.g. fixing a car vs a video of a person showing you how to do it. Latter is much more helpful

Why? The top end comp creates a competitive pressure where the middle and low end benefit and get skewed upward If bay-area comp drops, what do you think will happen to developer comp in the midwest? (refer to programmer compensation before

For games, I recommend small puzzle games. Microsoft freecell/solitaire. Match 3 games. There's some good ones, but you want the ones that really lean into being a mobile game and is not just a poor version of a full game (e.g. di

Ppl do this for fun in “souls” video games communities all the time as well. “This boss can kill you in 2 hits” -> “oh well just don’t get hit” There’s definitely an aspect that can cheer you on if you are in the right mindset to receive

This is an unsupported hypothesis. I am a big Apple user (iPhone, air tags, air pods, MacBook etc) but I definitely don’t feel “captured” in any way. If their products start sucking then I’m voting with my feet and my wallet. I’d much rathe

The poster you are responding to is probably incorrect in many regards. There aren't really 'exceptions' just 'differences'. For example, Japan's economy definitely is not feeling good at the moment, even if so

Yes they make money through ads (but also through Premium btw) The point is though, that if Search Ads stop making money, why would YT ads also stop making money? You're speaking as if society is going to stop having Ads altogether. Th

Glad you’re content. If you’re in the US, As a bonus, just remember that the US gov always does everything it can to keep housing prices stable or up. Of course it’s not an easy problem for them, but you’re in the same boat as millions of o

Parent comment was about 'successful project' It's also extremely reductive to just boil everything down into 'ads'. Like for example, if Bing somehow over took Google's search, YT would still be making money.

It’s probably because we are in the context of purposely evaluating these things. It’s easy to look at this picture, have someone ask you “is this a real picture or not?”, and decide it’s a fake picture. Now imagine you are walking through

Okay, so if you got re-subpoenaed for being a competitor tomorrow, will you comply with the subpoena given that your original argument is now invalid?

Product-market-fit is also not everlasting. Especially in the tech industry, things change really fast and even if you achieve a strong fit 1 time, you need to adapt over time or you become irrelevant.

I think your take is more outrageous: that things aren’t better or worse than other things? Flint Michigan is really really bad. Their water is poisonous. Similarly, crime is a thing that hurts ppl, in this case theft in SF. How are we gonn

You're basically just stating a set of arbitrary life principles and then saying everyone should live by them. I thought my comment was 1) definitely ethical based on the fact the first sentence stated I'm not a lawyer, then later

I am not a lawyer. I've worked with multiple lawyers on multiple suits and this is literally how they advised me. I've been on the other side of the table where I received legal letters asking to repair harms, and this is a simila

Those are extremely exceptional cases. What I gave is pragmatic advise for a normal person in general situations. But by all means, conduct your law suits however you want.

Not a lawyer but I’ve been in lawsuits on all sides. It’s the general recommended practice. The number can only go down, never up, so you ask for all that you can. It does have -some- sense if you think about it: this is a young kid with a

You said you’re right ~60% of the time. Have you ever experienced a big misassumption about where the person is going with it? I find that most gains from this style are unwound when you discover 10 minutes later that there was a critically

I see what you are saying and understand the point. But there should be a balance somewhere. Lance Armstrong cheated in cycling and won 7 championships. The fact that he came out as a cheater later absolutely demolished the integrity of the
