Samsung stock did take a hit as a result of this. Another possibility is a fabricated leak for a pump and dump style scheme. Seems indeed very little interest for Apple. I'm sure any effect of a public leak can be as efficiently done w

That's actually exactly the opposite of what Netflix (I think) was saying. Netflix point was that basically Cloud provider are very good as long as you are a regular user (which can still be massive volume) Snowflake customer requires

I'm not so sure, it is just that this is HN and that is the one place you will find people for which the "American Dream" did actually work or it is actually looking good. Survival bias is always going to be strong here.

The problem is explained at the end though. They were made to be collected. Mass produced collectable rarely really explode in value because they are kept preciously by their owner. If there was 10K "rare" beanie, chances are ther

In Europe, the Model S indeed seems to blend in. I can understand it has interesting line in the US market, but in the EU, it does not stand out much. I confused it before with Ford, Jaguar, Peugeot or indeed some rarer brand, especially be

Is "relatively sluggish" the proper wording for "5 order of magnitude slower" ? The overnight backup was relatively sluggish last night, instead of 1 minute we expect it to take a little over 2 months.

There is a bit of a nihilist nature to it too. Current modern society only achievement is making people live better, longer. There is no scientific, objective reason to do that. It is only the arbitrary (slightly helped by biology) value w

Also "What do you want" is not really a great example of directness. That's either passive-aggressive, leaving the customer guess if they have done something wrong, or it is, as you suggested, just a lost in translation case.

The worst thing in all of that is how accepted it became in US culture. Emergency visit or medical treatment requiring remortgaging, debt or spending otherwise life savings are used as a background plot mechanism. When I was younger, money

Normally the bigger players are at least investing in their brand. Mickey Mouse is not a hidden asset locked in a vault, it is everywhere for everyone to see. Not ideal maybe but worth it to unlock the ton of asset that lies unexploited and

Parent chose to use "oppression" - that's one step above disagreeing. Also in the context of present-day Europe, with a lot of successful extreme right eurosceptic parties, the term "oppression" associated to Europe

The GP in the UK thinks that having weeks of waiting period for a GP appointment is normal. So, of course, they triage and prioritise and Peppa Pig level of care is seen as terrible use of constrained resources. On another forum, I got a UK

Ah, the passive-aggressive old school OSS defence. That's not an argument, that's basic herd mentality and can literally apply to any kind of critic legitimate or otherwise. Even Linus does not get a pass nowadays and there is rea

It pleases the HN crowd, after all a lot of people here are in the startup business so that's sort of understandable. What worries more is that this article, like the one about Musk, are really too ego driven. Not a word on teams. That

To be honest, that dampened my excitement for the model 3 a notch. In order for that design to make sense in today's model 3, it would mean that very car is just a software update away from autonomy at "we are all watching netflix
