I think HN is one of the least-informed places about ads/marketing. The vast majority of commenters here are reactionary and refuse to understand how things work. They also believe they’re completely immune to marketing, while commenti

It will trend towards the major opinion as it gets closer to 10yrs. They haven’t been around long enough.

You can definitely be in situations where you have python but not gzip.

Yes, but if voters are voting the majority (and probable) decision, that just continues the trend of predicting obvious outcomes. It’s not something to do with understanding domain knowledge and voting based on scientific research.

To be fair, 100 globally scaled products is quite a lot. They try to churn out a lot stuff, and if they don’t achieve enough adoption, they cancel it. It’s a reasonable business decision.
