The other giants put the tech pressure on Amazon, lol. Amazon was the last domino to fall for 2022

They paywall random features behind youtube premium, I guess that's another one. Engineers hate these things because they know the relative minimal efforts required, and that the line of free vs premium feature is completely arbitrary.

Top of market quality is obviously not IKEAs goal. There is no one in IKEA corporate who would argue differently. IKEA makes cheap, good enough furniture. Similar to Amazon's approach. You can't argue that either is not hitting

Hmm, I'm more curious in reading the interaction when they bring up the fighter jet. Does anyone have a link to that?

That is so ridiculous. You can be born into this world without your decision or input. Your parents made that choice. Your parents can also choose to kick you out right at 18, after fulfilling their legal obligation. Then, down the line,

Dude, I think you should loosen up a bit. When I see someone calling people white trash for wearing comfortable clothing, all I can think of is "they think they are better than other people for no reason".

Top traders at hedge funds are the people who become billionaires. You can easily make 2, 5, 10m+ once you become a partner.

I'm not looking for a 10x improvement, I'm thinking of getting closer to the ideal. So many things are hidden behind layers of obfuscation and forced trust (authority). If society as a whole put many of these functions on chain,

Why do you buy things when you could only ever save?

Yes trustless and distributed things have no value, crypto is stupid, BTC is a waste of energy, yada yada yada.

I'm confused, how is owning a bar or cafe in a hot spot an immoral activity?

Yep, learning to optimize for visibility is one of the things every corporate worker should do. It's unfortunate, but the main way to actually see your compensation and respect increase.

If you have a DAO layer in your code, it shouldn't be too significant of a refactor to switch between noSQL vendors for simple tables. The real heavy lifting would be if you've optimized your tables to that specific architecture.

HN is not the place to discuss crypto. As a whole, the comments are consistently bearish.

The only time they'd actually sue is if you made something worth money. in that case, there's a good chance you can get investors to pay the lawsuit.

Meh, he said at least. There could be cases where you beam up then down nearly vertically (same city).

Without anymore context, I'll assume that he's referring to a logic lacking covid curfew in the US. Those might make sense for dense downtown districts with bars, but almost nowhere else

Facebook groups is one of the shining features that brings people to the platform. While I also prefer the PHPBB days of old, FB groups are indeed interest based places that foster communities.

She was leading a mob into the area where the VP and other important persons were sheltering. That is treasonous. Calling it trespassing is not accurate.

You neglect to mention the people that tried to raid the corridors where high level politicians were. One of those people was shot and killed instantly, point blank, after ignoring repeated warnings from officers. Not exactly peaceful

What's so bad about influencer marketing? It is the norm these days. Inevitably competition will do it if you don't.

IIRC bootstrapping just means that you don't take VC funding, instead rely on yourself, family and friends. You certainly aren't always breaking even.

How is the apple app store and development kit etc etc not a toolbox? Granted 30% is a ridiculous cut.

Based on my time in the federal government, hacking that bureaucracy is quite a tall challenge.

Online advertising as a concept is fundamentally unethical? I think you're speaking in hyperbole here. Stealing user data without consent (or with fake here read this 500 pg legalise consent) is unethical for certain. But a bike blog
