It's amazing to read through all the comments. I think of you all as more intelligent than "normal people" (Non HN readers, lol), but the amount of unabashed, unfettered bias in th…

Your price quotes for AWS support are wrong: Business support is 10% of your usage, or $100 USD whichever is higher. Enterprise support is 10% of your usage or $15k USD, whichever …

FYI, this article does not claim to be an analysis of product market fit.

I think the point is: If you had no abilities, and only f*cked stuff up without outside help, but you had solid product market fit, that's the only thing that matters because every…

Is this a joke reply? All I could find on Ty Webb is a bunch of Caddyshack references (I can't stand golf, so was clueless). Can you provide a link to the talk you're talking about…

It was called "product market fit". Earliest mention was in 1972: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=product+market...

If you're saying it died before it went to 25% of the world's population as a userbase, then you are using a definition of "death" that no one else is using.

shrug that's why one would consult with a contingency-based employment attorney.

Employment law attorneys work on contingency, so no expense to you. You start on the wrongful termination suit, get evidence, and then go after the other company based on what you …

Among the best mental health decisions of my life is to get rid of Twitter from my everyday life. I still have an account (the only reason to delete it would be as a sign of protec…

But it's not a political party, and that's the entirety of the problem.

>If people think they are buying a drug from a manufacturer they are wrong. No one is saying that (at least on this thread). All I'm saying laypeople assume the mfg is the bad guy …

I meant the manufacturer controls the price at which they sell. Ie, if drug X costs $15 to make, and the manufacturer chooses to sell it to retailers/distributors at $2000, they ar…

I'm not sure what your point is: It seems you are cherrypicking and then generalizing. For example Duloxetine (generic for Cymbalta) is $4 at CostPlus and $15 at the Walmart link. …

That's a very pre-emptively defensive statement... Why doesn't HN like to hear this?

I would rephrase it as "The App Store policies were always for the benefit of Apple (and customers)." The priorities have shown very clearly over time.

LOL, so true. I often need to have online meetings with engineers that for some reason prefer Linux as their desktop OS. Guess which meeting participants _always_ delay the meeting…

I'm with you, but this is the wrong place to come and say that. That attacks the ego of many people on here. EDIT: But read the other comments on here and they actually prove you r…

Not sure if people care about this point on HN. I mean if downvoting someone cost 10 of your own karma, then you bet people would use it more judiciously.

I don't think it's odd, tbh. People downvote stuff they do not agree with, even though the downvoted statement contains no opinion nor attack. That's just how people behave online.…

What do you guys think of "dry run by default" where you have to turn dry run OFF via an argument? I've done this on some of my utilities just because screwing up the arguments wou…

Genuinely curious: Has change of this magnitude ever been achieved entirely by voting? It feels to me like it can only be achieved by revolution (ie, replacing the government entir…

That may be the case, but that's not the reason for this one. Read up a bit on the reasons MS had. At the very least it's not a trivial "not invented here".

I think your question is a good one, and one that a vast majority of times it's just people or companies wanting to invent something for the sake of inventing something. IN this ca…

Set up a budget. At least Azure has those, and you can set whatever limit you want. If you hit the limit, the access will be cut off (and VMs shut down, etc). Your data will not be…
