Comments are different from posts. The comment needs to have content to be valuable. With a post, you don't need to add any editorial; it's the thing being posted itself that needs to be interesting - but not to everyone. If no on

You're not really expected to provide context when posting to HN. If something's interesting, it's interesting. I think of the Wikipedia articles as implicit "TIL" posts.

There's nothing to clog up. The drain is a normal drain; the innovation is that the cold water source pipe winds around the drain, transferring some of the heat from the outgoing water to the incoming.

Ha, I figured it must be Tiny even before realizing who the author was (or seeing the name in the url). It's tough as a founder who only ever expects to sell one company though. You don't really know how much you're potential

The dark forest has always seemed like too much of a just so story to me. I doubt that beings that would actually act in the way predicted would reach that level of advancement in the first place. I expect the real explanation for lack of o

Yeah, I believe there was an update for 2009 models that improved the UI. We had a 2008 and it was comically bad.

A Mac is a brand of personal computer. The acronym PC comes originally from the IBM PC, and then from IBM-compatible PCs, and is generally understood not to include Macs.

Sure, but it's pretty clear that Nvidia "leads the AI hardware revolution", if such a thing exists.

Oy, I wouldn't hold up a 2008 BMW as a paragon of usability. That early iDrive system was awful. Three different ways to differently manage climate temperature? Navigation straight out of the Macbook Wheel[1]? I could go on. The auto w

I do tend to agree that a lot of peculiarities of Teslas are unnecessary and/or bad, but for what it's worth most of the ones you listed are less of an issue for a vehicle that you own. Unlocking with the phone is convenient, you

I wouldn't trust them with nuclear secrets, but to say it's "insane" to trust that they're going to do what they explicitly say they're going to do just isn't logical.

No it's not. If they explicitly say they won't train on your data and then they do, it's going to come out in discovery of one of the lawsuits they're fighting, and the consequences would be significant. Plus there'

There used to be a form you could submit asking them not to train on your data. Absent some communication to the contrary I would hope that continues to be respected.

The time period is part of it, but I think the physicality matters too. You can debate gold's inherent value as you can with bitcoin, but you can't argue that it's not even a thing that exists. You also can't create more

I wonder if this will force Borrowell to finally allow unsubscription from their regular emails without deleting your account. https://helpcentre.borrowell.com/hc/en-us/articles/100145089...

Oh, that's surprising. It's in-house then? I can't imagine they'd be paying a non-AWS provider.

I guess one could also argue in these cases that the founder started a very promising company, and the buyer failed to realize its potential.

The less hard you hit the ball, the more loft you need to maximize your distance (because of air resistance). So more loft helps both because the shorter shaft of a wood vs a driver (which makes it easier to make good contact) limits how ha

I wouldn't mind being advised by someone who created a business and sold it to Amazon for a billion dollars, lack of profitability notwithstanding.

The majority of Twitch's costs are going to be revenue to AWS; I wonder if they are still unprofitable if you include the AWS earnings on those services. Or in other words, if AWS hosts Twitch at cost, is it profitable then? If so, or

This is all true, but it's a bit of a shame as it puts a limit on market efficiency. To take an extreme example, every rational person knew that Gamestop wasn't worth $20B+. (Or even close to what it's trading at now.) But gi
