If you read to the bottom of the site, you'll find that the author agrees with you that the end result was not particularly useful: > Overall, having spent a significant amount of time building this project, scaling it up to the si

Exactly. GChat supported federation at the start, but they removed it later due to spam and other challenges [1]. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11795658

There's a difference between identifying things that you will need to overcome, mitigate, or work around in order to be successful (which is useful) and insisting that the existence of these things means the task is impossible or not w

This is pretty standard in the machine learning world. You'll open-source the code and weights trained on a public data set (these are often licensed specifically for non-commercial use). But in production, you'll be using differe

Huh? Last year, Alphabet spent over $31 billion on R&D and $0 on dividends.

As a Netflix shareholder at the time they adopted their poison pill, I feel like the subsequent ~40x increase in share price has been very much in my interest. :-) Of course hindsight is 20/20, but even at the time, it seemed like the

Why not? It seems like a reasonable way to prioritize fixing issues that people actually care about.

Their history shows dozens of normal comments over a ~3 month period. If they're trolling, it's a very long troll.

It would not have made a difference. Maybe they'd be losing $9.9M a month instead of $10M a month.

They changed their methodology in March (the tweeted screenshot was taken before then). If you hover over the little triangle next to the title, it says: "We improved the data quality of the Small Business Revenue & Openings serie

That chart is as of June 2, 2021. California didn't lift its COVID restrictions until June 15, 2021. The numbers started increasing soon after. Here is the current version of the same chart: https://tracktherecovery.org&#x2F

You have both the direction and timeline backwards. It was Apple who reached out to Google, and it happened in 2005, two years before this [1]. [1] https://www.engadget.com/2014-03-24-emails-reveal-that-steve...

If you don't check the box that says you support the iPad when building your app, then it will run on the iPad at iPhone resolution, with the option to scale up 2x to fill the screen.

There are plenty of good reasons to dislike Clubhouse, but the lack of an iPad UI on day one is not one of them. When you're building something new, you have to prioritize, and insisting on polish like this just helps to entrench the b

In the US, it's not a crime as long as you file your taxes accurately. The IRS generally allows you to set up a payment plan or even settle for less than is owed if it would cause hardship to pay.

It's not like this is unique to Mozilla though. Once you get big enough, you end up attracting a critical mass of people who like to rehash the same old grievances. Take any HN thread about Google, for example.

The article is just as bad on the climate aspect. It asserts that cooking with gas "has been shown to be catastrophic for the environment." What's the basis for this assertion? They link to another NYT article that cites a st

Lots of people upvoting it in a short period of time and nobody flagging it? The HN ranking algorithm seems to put a lot of weight into both velocity and flags. A few factors that may have caught people's attention to upvote: it's

I dunno. I've been hearing people make these complaints about Apple for at least 15 years. And in that time, Apple stock has gone up 50x. So it seems to have worked out pretty well for investors.
