stupidest response. There are tons of gov waste that's 100 times more expensive, less effective without any returns. Wars are lot more expensive, net negative for common folks (pos…

Anthropic subsidizes the fees when devs use their API within their own Claude code product. They do not give any such discount when the devs use their API outside their product. Se…

They do not monetize but may do probably something worse, infotize or narratize (just invented words). By using an almost neutral, altruistic platform to subtly control/constrain t…

We often think market is rational but it is not. If it is, then BYD would be priced like Tesla, and Tesla would have been priced like BYD.

when I saw 18F, CISA, USDS were targeted by DOGE, everything was clear. They were just cutting all the good muscle and leaving the bad fat :(

I thought HN crowd is smarter than average crowd, but surprised to see so many folks supporting this fraud. If they sold just "note taking service" then it does not matter what the…

you are barking at the wrong tree. Banks are the real culprits here. Visa/MC are perhaps the front face.

if merchants pay anywhere between 2% to 3%, how is the bank able to pay 3.5% for purchases to your corp card customers? Simple math says the bank would lose money on this which of …

if Trevor Milton can do it, so can you.

This is sad. I have worked with many federal agencies including EPA and have seen firsthand how large corporations try to influence or circumvent the law without regard for people …

Trickle down theory is so old and boring. Instead, you can try this: If you tax the rich, they would lose sleep. If they lose sleep, they would be tired all the day and won't be ab…

In my experience, team efficiency does not improve linearly with head count. A 100-person team may be 2 or 3 times more productive than a 10-person team. Collaboration efforts (pro…

while all of the above engineering solutions work, I wish they adopt a human centric solution. When there is too much demand and too little inventory, they could introduce some kin…

Apart from the above differences, another important difference is that OLAP is often columnar based, as opposed to the typical OLTP being row-based. So, OLAP queries use different …

When using Maven build tool with Java, the downloaded artifacts always have the version number added to prefix (artifact-version.jar).. and that means there can be multiple version…

I tend to ignore positive reviews in general as they can be bought. Negative reviews are more reliable in identifying any common pattern of problems with a particular product. I gu…

For a business that relies on SaaS applications over cloud and uses dumb machines (windows, iPad, whatever) as client terminals, can someone please explain what are the actual thre…

can someone suggest tips to remove all the bloatware from HP/Dell/etc and reinstall a cleaner minimalistic windows in a laptop? How do I know all the compatible drivers that exactl…

Of course, I totally agree that EU has to work on their common standards to run/startup a business.. and it is likely affecting their competitiveness (along with few other factors)…

And make EU more like USA? let them be influenced by corrupted wall street, loose EPA regulations for pesticides, favor the rich in the name of capitalism? In spite of the flaws an…

Both Apple and Microsoft are already trillion dollar companies. Why do they get so much greedy to get even more money with ads? This also ends up giving a very bad user experience …

Buying the debt is different than paying off the debt. I see so many comments here assuming that to buy the company totally (or to have total control over a company), one should pa…

I volunteered for 5th Pillar many years ago and yes, the zero rupee note worked on many occasions. When any corrupted government official sees this note, they don't want the potent…

wayback machine? why not the regular official website? sorry, I don't understand.
