Jeremy, I tried to comment in the article as to not pollute HN with the usual font complain, but the comment was rejected saying I had to be logged in. Your text is really hard to read! The "f" looks like a "j"... my bra

I don't have much to add here, I think we've reached the point where nuance is necessary, and "it depends" comes into play. This Abbot / Elon _seems like_ an abuse of confidentiality for competitive reasons, which i

Yes, unfortunately... the right outcome here should be corporate lawyers saying "companies should NOT add trade secrets when talking to the government because it will leak", but instead the public can't know what the governme

I feel you, and that's a different issue than the one in this thread, which is in general if maintainers ignore bug reports, their projects will be forked and the issue fixed anyway but not in the main project.

If you're going to fix the bug, why not in the main project?

I don't understand why you think I am making this argument you're referring to, when I SPECIFICALLY said "I don't understand the Chinese motivation" AND I presented the US side, which I am familiar with. My whole po

I am not familiar with Chinese politics or motivation, but I wonder if it's for the same arguments we have in the US, "save the world" vs. "the strong can do whatever they want". I am not sure China does for the sak

I have an engineer on my team that's always asking "what if this or that happens in the future?" to which I've started to reply "what if it does NOT?" I know, I know... wow. Not much insightful. But for some re

Maybe have the app server contact a service that knows the user's location? You can probably somehow get the user's location on Google Maps, or Find My. Or... I don't know, Yelp check-ins with a particular hashtag?...

I used to work on a product where the app server and database were in the same rack - so similar low latency. But the product was successful, so our N+1 would generate thousands of queries and 1ms would become >500ms or more easily. Ever

TBH your first phrase is how every bad comment starts so I can understand reflex downvotes, BUT, your actual content after that is fantastic, and it took me a while to mentally go to "oh wait they make sense here"

Yahoo made a $1b investment on Alibaba early on, and Alibaba was growing a lot, investors couldn't directly buy Alibaba, so they bought Yahoo hoping to eventually cash in. Yahoo was valued at $44b at one time, and the $1b it put in Ali

Oh that reminds me of strollers that can amputate baby fingers. It happened multiple times. These people need to be sued to death.

I was there too. The Alibaba investment is what doomed Yahoo. Investors wanted their money and didn't care at all about Yahoo's core business.

I really don't think what's stopping micropayments is the technical ability (or even business deals) to do so. Stuff like that have been talked about and tried for more than a decade, it never caught on. Anyway, I don't know?

I think you meant app users churn less, not that more app usage brings new users. But I think you said the later? Doesn't make much sense. Anyway, attention == ads, so that's ChatGPT's future.
