When you talk about PPP, keep in mind to factor in housing and other modern lifestyle conveniences. These are very very expensive if you price it as a percentage of your salary. Ev…

> Starbucks coffee is a trustable experience I stopped reading after that...

Until Sequoia's Don Valentine gets the VPs to rebel and have Sandy fired. Who ended up selling all his founder stocks for pennies, while the rest became billionaires...

What about the carbon emissions in order to manufacture the car, dig up mines for lithium etc? Surely that needs to be accounted as well.

I feel one of the real issues is incentivizing publicly traded companies to beat pressure from Wall street to keep cutting costs and workers be damned attitude. It might be worthwh…

This looks like an iPad / tablet charging stand with speakers and better mic -- which there are plenty of in the market. You can get one of these for $20 (or $99 if Apple makes it!…

If one were to use a similar analogy as the author -- a startup is like a huge hill but a mirage. Once you're off of whatever you are smoking, you realize it's just a mole hill.

Our team runs _the_ largest Go middleware. Checking in external dependencies into your repo scales - you don't want 200+ users hitting Github every 10 minutes, when you can hit the…

Thanks for working in Firefox. It is so much better than where it was whe Chrome first shipped and I switched to Firefox (and also to DDG thanks to AMP). There are two issue that b…

PSA: please delete your Dropbox accounts.

This ones really annoying and made me switch to DDG !g.

Oh yeah, they are doing no evil! Probably time to switch back to Firefox.

This seems to be cultural at Google. Apart from this, there are many instances that I've been hit by their "we know best, just deal with it" mentality. AMP debacle comes to mind.

As a user, I can't stand amp -- issues are 1.) no link to original site. 2.) top banner plague 3.) weird smooth scrolling that messes with my muscle memory. There are two workaroun…

I'd say AI is real when it can do everything my 4yr old son can understand and do. I used to think this is a low bar, But going by how slow and painful the progress has been, I'm n…

The article is well written but takes a little anti-social view of how things come to be. The private industry is doing a great job of procuring, manufacturing and delivering of co…

This is an awesome product and a big disruptor. Has anyone done the math on the revenues and profitability for Tesla? On the one hand it will sell for more than the typical 10-20K …

Ethical to whom? For all the Apple stockholders, it is ethical to follow the rule and reduce taxes. For all the handme-something EU bums it is not.

Why do so many HN folks feel that Google is the savior here? The reality is that both oracle and Google are for-profit companies and hence both are greedy. Talk to any old Sun empl…

This scale is pretty small and can be done on my laptop. If you need to do such operations at a truly large scale, this is an interesting article: http://alexbowe.com/rrr/ C++ impl…

That only works when the competitor products are better than what Apple makes. The competing products are mediocre at best and more over, they just don't integrate like the way App…
