For what it's worth, I think this helps HN feel fresh. This is the first time I've read this article, and I enjoy the comments left by my fellow cohorts of this year's read, just like it was something new. Long lived historic

At least you're honest about it. I don't have any JS out there period, so your terrible JS is much better than I could have done.

And arguably, possibly one of the few tech companies to truly innovate at all.

Labor cost for sourcing and replacing the filters, o-rings, etc. should be factored in. And of course, sourcing the bottles from Whole Foods in comparison. I like your evaluation here, not criticizing it. But I'm curious about adding t

I read it as a form of sarcasm and irony. I liked the scare exclamations as a way to highlight the original statement about fast food and alcohol. Was not offended and didn't infer anything additional. The reply just simply acknowledge

Right, this is actually an inspired summary from the article. I believe the author is stating exactly this, that the sooner we recognize that we can't "fix" the problem (resetting back to "normal"), we can start emb

Because you are ready to purchase and presumably make your life better? It's not like you're going to read the contract, see that the only way out is to send a certified letter or cancel in person, and think, "Nah, I'm g

Ha ha, I'm just already thinking of the possibilities... Shift-CoPilot-C Clippy resurrects, "how may I help you today?"

And, the isles are deliberately[ ] designed to be hard to see down. You can't just easily spy that 20lb Krusteaz pancake mix, you have to walk through all the baking isle products in order to find it. or so I've read, heard or m

I mean, they have hosted weddings at Costco before. Next step, bride or groom ordering service? Wonder how they handle returns in this scenario. Probably 90 days like electronics.

Hey, at least you're honest about it.

Or the added requirement to file additional TPM reports, possibly.

Well, the technology exists to "decode" these addresses at the point of delivery. Assuming that the sorting facility bundled the mail in the order of the driver's route, you'd probably be able to make this work from the

Exactly. So much value you're offering here. I wish more vendors had your attitude. Before I buy a (digital) movie, I end up renting it first. The rental costs me $2.99 and if I like the movie, I purchase it for $15.99. Yes, Amazon (or

Hey, can I just say, I really appreciate and respect your pricing strategy on the design app. Fixed one time cost for personal or business. Or a cancel-any-time subscription model. Really, there is a spot for everyone in this pricing model.

It might not yield results, in the way you've correctly described. But the stock market is going to like this opportunity to "steal" the founders / stakeholders in OpenAI "For Free". The money Microsoft pays th

Microsoft has a "Cloud + AI" division [1]. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sam Altman at or near the top of that organization come Monday. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_engineering_groups#C..

OK, but there's some evil truth here... I'm not a "CTO of Anything" type. But I consider myself adept in what programming I do for a living. Leet code is truthfully somewhat beneath me, but yet I'm still scared appl

Maybe you can ignore it? And that's great, if so. But I know I can't. I'm perfectly fine ignoring the buffoons. But I feel much anxiety over ignoring an insightful request or comment that would benefit both myself and the use

Yes, thank you for the reply. > ... addressing creator concerns about reliability of their revenue streams. Right, exactly. That's the core of the issue. Very insightful.

Maybe a minority opinion, but I believe uBlock just needs to stop trying. Let Youtube "win" and further sink into garbage heap and become more irrelevant. The more ads Youtube shows, the less useful and relevant it becomes. Sure,

There are no good alternatives. There's literally no place left to get good topical or technical content without just loads of crap to go with it. It's either a very depressing thing, or maybe an opportunity, depending on how rose

There's not many other good choices, these days. All of the useful tech support sites have been overrun with trolls. stackoverflow, for example. Github issues is probably the best place, but when its abused, there's just no more a

Right, that's an interesting point. On the one hand, Youtube itself doesn't add value. The creator uploads are the value. But if Youtube didn't monetize, presumably with the rise of the Youtube star, content creators wouldn&#

I mean, you still read them though, right? And you somewhat sort out the ones based on how much of a buffoon the user is? Maybe someone with excellent writing skills and having demonstrated reading all the documentation and FAQs is still as

That's a decent point, but at least they're trying? You can't just start a new course so easily, but adding these concepts into an existing course is much more feasible.

I agree with one of the sibling comments here. Comparator is just way too simple of an interface. And you've defined a lot of it in terms of a single individual, and maybe just slightly a "team" in the larger sense of the ent

And you would probably come away with a lot of (well deserved) knowledge from this assignment. If a professor can inspire you to actively seek alternatives and/or think outside the box, I consider that a win.

Yup, me too. Firefox + uBlock. I guess I won't read it.
