Haha :) I meant in a grammatical sense.

While that's a very nice saying, and I appreciate you applying in this context, what you're basically saying is we can never ever assess any organization as strong whatsoever, since every organization that breaks up seems strong a

>Google will lose all respect from the community and will collapse sooner or later. I love this little bubble all of HN (or at least a vocal majority) seems to live in. Google is most definitely not collapsing anytime soon, and their pro

If they bring cases and lose them corporations will continue doing whatever they want since there will be no consequences. It's important for the FTC to know what fights are worth fighting, and they will be taken seriously.

That's not backward compatibility then - those are the systems it was made for (Windows 7 would then have been made backwards compatible for Office 2003). It's backward compatibility if Word 2003 runs on the later Windows versions

What's the point of that? That solves none of the concerns raised by the FTC (pressuring sellers, setting prices, etc.). They'll have to break up Amazon eCommerce, not AWS.

To be honest, I think "poop will be my new food source" makes perfect sense. But that might just be me.

It genuinely amazes me as to how some people (Musk, Spez, etc.) are able to take so much hate. I'm not talking about whether they brought it on themselves, or whether it was deserved or not - I'm just astounded at how they manage

Genuine question - is this the US's version of UPI (United Payments Interface) in India?

I believe parent is talking about a focus on Voice UIs like Voice Notes and Messages. Not transcribing the voice into text, but the voice itself.

Sounds awesome! Love your idea, but I was wondering as to what would happen if GitHub built this into their platform directly, bypassing Polar. What does Polar have that GitHub doesn't, in case that happens?

Yes. In fact, Shkreli promised to release the full album if Trump won 2016. I think he ended up releasing two tracks.

Sounds absolutely awesome haha. Mind if I ask what your job was at the time? What were your interactions with the gun boats like? What exactly were you surveying in the Spratly Islands? Did you ever run into pirates?

Hi Dillon - congrats on the offer! I adore your product. Quick question though - how sure are you DO won't be interfering with the product and the current team will continue doing its job? Alternatively, would you like DO to take a d

Thanks you for the link! Is it cool if I email you with further questions?

Hi there! I adore your blog. Quick question - you have an MBA from Stanford, and you're a software engineer rather than a 'manager'. Are there others like you? I was thinking of an MBA as an option, but was afraid my focus af

What in the world gives you the impression Twitter is in its final days? Naysayers have been saying Twitter fill fail any day now for about 8 or 9 months now.

I mean, I don't think that's exactly a fair comparison. These companies are focused a lot (and I mean a lot) more on enterprise software than your regular desktop software. I'm talking about Banking Systems, Automation Platfo

You're right - I also think (personal opinion) the trust gained in a company by reading their blog post is greater than the trust gained by seeing an ad. Because I saw this blogpost, I trust fly.io more than I would have had I seen a Y

Genuine question - what does being a hacker have to do with being an author?

Yeah this is pretty funny - if you speak to PR before posting something, it's 'PR-riddled bull** written by some executive', or 'corporate talk'. If you don't speak to PR before posting something, it's &#x

Yeah no I have to agree with you on this one. Every company is going to raise prices at one point or another - it might be inflation, it might be profit-chasing, padding for an IPO - whatever. Just because a startup might raise prices in

I'd assume not - the rich anyways hardly get large salaries (I'm sure they do, but the majority of the money they make is probably borrowing on equity).

I mean, even in the text snippets you can see that they seem to understand after a bit as to what Christian was talking about.

That's a good way to think about it. Way I saw it was - if you are foolish enough to give up liberty for safety, you don't deserve the safety anyways.

I'm thinking this would have been an incredible idea during the pandemic - don't get me wrong, it's still a great idea. I just think the pandemic use case simply made too much sense - they really could have changed remote wor

It's priced at $3499 - seems too expensive for a consumer device (maybe)?
