I think Netflix for a few years now has been optimizing for "the cost of production of each consumed hour". They have been doubling down on acquiring/producing international content, reality tv and live specials—which are all

While it is true that most of the election-year policies are promises that end up not being fulfilled, the policies that are chosen by the candidate to push the most are also a reflection of their character and beliefs. And just like you&#x

Sam needs to hire a consultant when he wants to name products. First it was ChatGPT, then came the 4o's and o-1's, and now this. "World" is not easy to pronounce for some non-English speakers (the "rld" part).

I know it is a privilege and a rare opportunity to go into space, but it strikes me as something that should be compensated for at higher than the going rate of astronaut salaries of $100-$150K/year. They overpay for every bolt but cou

For starters, tents shouldn't be allowed in the downtown area, which is the heart of business, shopping and tourism in San Francisco. It is one of the most expensive areas to live, so just like most residents cannot afford to live ther

I don't understand the influx of these kinds of posts. I use ChatGPT and Claude daily, but I wouldn't say 90, 80, or even 50%. Not because I don't want it to be, but because it just can't. LLMs are perfect for those who

I think worse than other carriers. They are still positioning themselves as the underdog uncarrier, so it feels even less authentic. I don't see much of virtue-signaling from AT&T and Verizon.

Booking.com has one weird "feature" where they allow you to checkout without signing-in, and using the email of any other Booking.com user without verification in the checkout form. I had dozens and dozens of orders "placed o

I wonder if these food/grocery delivery apps are shooting themselves in the foot with how they balance pricing/fees vs marketing/promotional costs. You can almost always find gift cards for these services that are 10-20% off.

Tangential, but this is a horrible choice for a header font at this size. I thought something was wrong in the rendering as I noticed white random smudges in the text.

I like they raised the broadband minimum upload speed from 3 to 25Mbps. Spectrum's 300 Mbps broadband is only 10 Mbps up. Let's see how fast they change their statement that "an upload speed of 3 Mbps is enough for most house

Notably, these web apps will "continue to be built directly on WebKit and its security architecture", so a progressive app added to the Home Screen can't for example run on a Chrome engine.

For those of you who decided not to have kids in your 20s-30s, and are now in your 40s+, when changing that decision now becomes increasingly more difficult: did you regret it? Did your position of “I want to live my life, I don’t want the

How's Threads doing from the POV of HN crowd? It seems to me like a clone of Instagram, with some celebreties double-posting their X or Instagram content to it. After its first few weeks, I probably have visited once a month.

I don't buy the article's argument around the "Fear that GCP may be abandoned by Google". Yes, it is highly unlikely that Google will wake-up one day and announce a deprecation day for GCP, like they did with dozens of o

An intriguing idea, but a few issues make this a very hard sell: 1) resolution is too low, 2) eInk's slow refresh time will make it look like your entire world is flashing, 3) due to the low resolution, you can only render like a parag

There's a lot being said about the moat nVidia has with CUDA, but when companies like Tesla are forking $300M on 10,000 GPUs [1], it can't be that difficult to port whatever code to whatever platform if 100s of millions are in que
