The fact that this app is stealing content (that mostly makes money by ads) and monetizing it with ads is horrible. Right up the entitlement-alley of HN.

Wow this guy comes off as a jerk that I would not want to work for. "Last time I did this I cried. This time I hope to be stronger". This is not about you - the CEO who has taken no direct responsibility except for empty words. Th

With the number of bullshit meetings companies have, it wouldn't be too hard for each direct manager (+ HR rep) to inform employees individually instead of in a mass-firing video.

This 100%. If I was spending days of my time on a company only to be treated poorly, I should not be a statistic. This is also why honest feedback for rejections should be required (by law? probably not. maybe by social pressure) so candida

Absolutely (I am one of them though I'm a member of or otherwise monetarily support publications I frequent). The thing I hate is people who try to come up transparently disingenuous reasons for why they are entitled to not support org

I don't know what you are referring to but plenty of times they link directly to a retailers' website where they don't earn commissions. It's also a reasonable way for them to make money that isn't: 1. Invasive trac

I would recommend the creators ask themselves if their software _really_ needs to be hosted or can it be sold as a one-off (self-host or desktop/mobile).

If anything, localities voting out incumbents is an example that the US is anything but totalitarian. I wish people would actually do some reading before spouting BS on anonymous online forums.

They said "to a small number of decisions", and NOT "to a small _percent_ of decisions". Millions of accounts - and likely tens of millions of decisions stemming from those accounts - is not a small _number_.

Exactly this. I use cloud VMs for heavy lifting. But if I used a laptop for even an hour every day, I would snap this $2k machine. I just wish they had a $1000 M1 laptop with ports.

I hate the notch. I wish I could get the 14inch body with the M1 (not pro/max) chip in it for <$1200. All I want are ports in last year's MBP but don't feel the need to spend $2k on a laptop I infrequently use.
