That hasn't been my experience. It's directionally closer than the last generation of headsets, but my oculus quest mostly just sits around because pickup and use is still not the reality. In another few years I'm hoping we g

It's a matter of scale. If I go outside and turn on a leaf-blower I can tell you with relatively high confidence the speed and direction of general air movement five feet out from the nose. On the other hand, if I tried to tell you the

Probably more about the visibility than the outcome—an attempt to drive a narrative that Uber et al are corrupt regulatory-capturing entities that are manipulating the public through a suit like this could help the NO on Prop 22 cause. The

The anti-monopoly benefits of interoperability can be offset by the regulatory capture of forced interoperability if companies too small are subject to such rules, placing them at a disadvantage relative to largest players and increasing th

Hey Taylor, cool product! But why can't you see the purchase prices of the arguments? As the price moves around over time you can try to look at the date and graph independently, but some indicator showing the movement since purchase o

Phoenix ships with Ecto ORM-style-binding to Postgres underneath (usually) for a good reason! :) And if you need that in memory magic where the serial nature of a genserver won't suffice for your load, you basically have built-in Redis

Perhaps it's a lot more than the AST that's attracting them? Like maybe the actor model (genservers)? Or OTP overall as a great platform for building self-healing, fast, distributed, functional systems? Or Immutability? There&#x

That doesn't hold explanatory power in this case, look at the points, comments, and age. For "Modeling a Wealth Tax", "Canon's Cloud..." and "If founders treated...": https://www.dropbox.co

I think startups would have a lot easier time recruiting great people if they offered Stock Appreciation Rights [1] instead of typical options. I didn’t even know SARs existed, they’re so non-standard in the startup industry, until as a fou

I'm not a lawyer, but presumably because there's US antitrust law, under which the courts may find Apple's contractual impositions to be illegal. They may also find they are legal, but if the court has any doubt they should g

The underlying research is suggesting that air pollution is the primary cause of 1/6 deaths worldwide [1], and fossil-fuel air pollution specifically 1/15. I'm not sure it passes the sanity check (wouldn't we have notice

Until reading this I was under the impression that wire transfers were guaranteed funds. Nearly everyone’s heard of wire transfer scams where a scammers gets you to send funds and then it’s almost always irreversible/you’re screwed. Bu

The CEO of Stripe, Patrick Collison, is pretty widely regarded as being a sweetheart, and at the age of 31 he’s already got almost 50% of the net worth Jobs had when he died. Arguably then, he’s far more successful for his age, and far kind

Don’t conflate ByteDance and TikTok. ByteDance makes the vast majority of its revenue from a mobile feed app called TouTiao and Chinese-TikTok called Douyin. It would be utterly insane if TikTok was making $5.6 billion a quarter already, bu

Kind of interesting that the intro for the wikipedia on Conservatism in the United States [1] says "Conservative philosophy is also derived in part from ... laissez-faire economics (i.e. economic freedom and deregulation)" but tha

From a purely national interest standpoint, it's hardly surprising the US would be uninterested in negotiations given the fact it's the global digital products leader. While it's certainly true some such rules are worthwhile

Since none of the six responses to this comment so far have the correct explanation, here you go: HN's ranking algorithm automatically heavily penalizes posts with high comment to upvote ratios, to stop presumed "flame wars".

It’s true, though, if they have a lot of manual support that could certainly hurt that, though. Or if they have a high customer acquisition cost. Excluding fixed costs if they are spending 50% per marginal user on marginal Dev/server c

In a software business? Presumably the margins per additional customer is 90%+, although with fixed costs it could obviously be much lower overall. But the marginal profit per user is the primary concern here I think with regards to payment

Apple shouldn't be able to get away with doing this. Full stop. But from a pure business perspective, if they're charging on an annual basis, if the average subscription length is say, 4 years, after the first year the rate is 15%

The most competitive universities in Canada, like McGill and UBC have 46% and 52% acceptance rates. Canada has more of a culture of going to college in the province you grew up. To compare that to Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etc. that have sub-

With Google taking 32%-49% of ad spends [1], and perhaps even more as AdMob appears to be undisclosed (although let's assume in this range), if competition could cut this take in half while maintaining equal targeting efficiency, we mi
