Dang some of my favorite episodes are with other comedians. They try to out do each other’s humor, so you get really hilarious moments. Sad to see all the removed episodes are heavily comedian episodes…

I call this the squeeze. Google, even after all its attempts, is still a one trick pony. They have to grow at least 20% year over year to justify the market cap. They weren’t able to create a two pillar company like Amazon (AWS + Retail) so

This is from Mark Zuckerberg's post. I think it's a decent explanation of their performance. Historically Facebook always made these longer-term bets and they've typically paid off. "Before I get to that, I want to brief

Maybe they'll try launching a Facebook phone that tries to capture Apple's market and it'll fail miserably again. Never underestimate the blue message bubble y'all. That's real leverage.

Even with the /s and assuming best intentions, this made me upset. Sorry I'm downvoting and flagging.

The myth, that’s the Steve Jobs that I idolize. I’m not sure what he’s actually like or at what cost the world paid to fulfill his vision. There’s two events in my life where I can clearly recall what I was doing at the time. The first is 9

Hello! This is the HN comments of Facebook’s latest valuation in 2007: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34057 I wonder if HN will ever be bullish on a product that’s targeting the general audience. We seem to only be ab

Extensions are not the answer, they lack dignity. I want it vanilla. I also want the dark mode to carry over into any browser I'm using on mobile.

This is so creative! I never would've thought making a Latex for diagrams! I can't think of an immediate use case but this is really cool!

Whatever happened to Samsan Tech, they had a really impressive year and then just disappeared off the face of the earth.
