Your tone sounds like you're criticizing the parent comment but the content of your reply is pretty strongly supporting/backing up the parent comments assertion so I'm having a hard time figuring out if you're trying to

I notice there's always this impulse to blame VCs for how startup businesses evolve but like, founders want to make money too, and plenty of founders dream of building a huge company with a massive exit or ipo etc etc and push for that

Yep, and that's why as the parent comment mentioned the threat is from what it does to content creators and mods - the passive lurkers and consumers don't care about the API but they do care about the content they show up to reddi

My take is that it's not a simplification - it's just incomplete. Presenting it as the only way things work is just incorrect and an unnecessary lie to teach students. But it is one way things work and a pretty important one at th

I mean basically a company just has to make money, and today, dealing with a colo and all is probably just going to get in the way of that for the vast majority of companies in the early stages. Making the claim that relying on cloud is a b

I'm trying to come up with a charitable read of this that isn't no true Scotsmaning the concept of a corporation but frankly am coming up short. I might be missing some part of your argument here - why do you believe that dedicati

Frankly a many companies wouldn't need something like that for a while, if ever. If you're really doing compute intensive stuff sure, otherwise for your average webapp what would be the advantage of rolling your own infra?

My guess is that if you dislike even wristwatches then something like this is just going to be a nonstarter right? For me, I'm comfortable with nearly 24/7 wear of watches and an hour or so in the quest on beatsaber - if they mana

Why does it sounds like you can make a lot of money that way? Bring reliant on someone else being willing to pay more on the basis that they'll find someone else later to pay even more doesn't create a stable foundation

For me googling spam definition brings up google definition in which irrelevant is the first word. Before getting sidetracked on definitions of other words, I would be deeply surprised if asking a bunch of people on the street "If you

Most definitions for it include whether the message is irrelevant or unwanted. Trying to define it purely as unsolicited gets into weird cases where you'd say that an emergency tornado alert is spam because it's unsolicited. Maybe

But if it's useful I'd argue it's deifinitionally not spam for you. And if most people don't mark it as spam so it doesn't get flagged, that means it just isn't spam. Bots send emails too, and not all bot sent

I think it would have also been perfectly professional to decline in that case, since it's clearly poor planning on the part of the folks organizing the talk. And demoting the keynote speaker is even worse - especially when in this ins

Yeah thats faang sure, but I ran into no such resistance with midsize and startups. I was lucky in that I found those companies significantly more interesting and targeted them anyway, if you really want the faang stamp for whatever reason

Stocks are distinct from bonds, they're an ownership stake in a business so dividends are only a small component of their value. Share buybacks, liquidity events like exits, voting rights, etc all feed into value. Stock buybacks in par

I mean, the reason is that they want to make money, that doesn't seem particularly out of character. It just so happens that the inflationary policies that are making it hard for them to make money are also making it hard for everyday
