Just playing devil's advocate, literally everyone is worried about the tiles so surely they aren't launching without massive confidence that they are working properly? Or have the team said that there are still issues with the til

I still can’t comprehend who the EU leadership are actually the leaders of. If they actually wanted to be the leaders and protect the EU they wouldn’t be doing what they are doing. Their policies are basically designed by the US and benefit

A great part of British culture is just how much money and care goes into maintaining even small one family 400 year old farming houses. It also creates real estate like no other. Unfortunately the pressures on it are the same, the globaliz

How about we discuss the actual plan and you don’t bring your politics into this discussion? Wouldn’t that be nice for a place like HN for once. You really can’t stomach someone you disagree with politically creating an amazing vision and p

Parent already answered that, perhaps you think the ad ecosystem is better served by multiple players not just the FB and google duopoly. Or you want to support a small upstart. Or you don’t mind ads but you do mind the tracking. So brave i

It’s the Protestant Puritanism of American culture getting stronger. It’s the same with the so called woke religion, it’s just a repackaging of Puritanism. Just like any culture there are many parts of the American one, but the part that co

The guy is literally creating the next gen intercontinental ballistic missile system and military delivery for the US, but according to HN it’s whiny for him to need security. Right. Oh and I forgot, he also helps ukranians vs the Russians.

Anecdotal, but I’ve found many people who complain about abusive managers are doing a terrible job and are looking for any excuse to be a victim or explain why their crap work is not appreciated. Misunderstood genius syndrome.

> Cut backs were needed I mean, you are both claiming cuts were needed and they’re too much. So how much was right? How do you know? You’d do a better job than the people who have access to the numbers? That’s a fairly arrogant position

Thank you, for a nuanced answer on this topic. Very rare these days. You are also 100% correct. As revenues fell at snap just like twitter, and easy money has dried up at all VCs creating a completely different market environment. Just look

Because complaining about how badly Twitter is run about as popular as claiming depositors are investors in SVB.

No pricing on enterprise. I am hoping this will be custom priced for everyone and not at a minimum of $42,000, otherwise one of my ventures is basically bust. Also pretty funny how the justification for all this by Musk was “it’s to protect

Bad? Apart from your own moral opinion, how is killing bad? Why is killing a plant better than an animal? Because their chemistry includes some sort of pain hormone? So do some plants. This is not an argument either of us can win, because i

I'm sorry but Italy produces some of my favourite foods, I find it ridiculous to call this a doomed industry. Italy has basically developed some of the best foods for humanity through hundreds of years of craftsmanship, from parmesan t

Except there are almost no programs where the government can actually deliver positive ROI, and the government never has any motivation to actually do this and report on it. I think in almost all cases except where private markets can’t del

He might be boring, but he’s very good natured and interested in others. You would be amazed how hard it is to be genuine in this way. It’s also what makes people open up in an interesting way. This is not a quality I know in many people,

Yet "capitalism" is actually the best way to limit that power of powerful people and make status pretty closely linked with ability. In every other attempt at forming different societies (from feudalism to capitalism) it's ge

Do you think the same about all the inner city minority people who got adjusted rate mortgages which all collapsed in 2008, some who couldn’t even read, and were conned by banks? Why didn’t they make sure they understood what they were gett

You’ve clearly never listened to Steve Jobs speak, or you didn’t understand what he was saying. And it’s not just me. A lot of very respected smart people think he was way above them. That’s not a conman. Also, conmen usually have an expiry

I don't think its sketchy, it's just that the VPN business has extremely large revenues compared to costs of the service, which means A LOT of money remains for marketing. They can spend exorbitant amounts on youtube ads and affil

I wonder if the eventual result of all this work from home debate will be that it's something that's earned after a period of time. e.g. 1 day a week after 6 months of employment, 2 from 1 year, etc. That actually makes perfect se

Employees also usually get bonuses, and stock options. Your point is possibly true for companies as big as FAANG ones, but for a startup invested in by YC, it's highly unlikely the founders are getting any real bonuses. They might get

Losing a job is a negative event, the parent is not disputing that. The parent is disputing that there is minimal risk for an employee, they are getting paid month to month for their work.
