A true computing thought leader. All the best Rich. My only complaint about you was not open-sourcing datomic and making it free for developers.

Explorers always make plenty of rookie mistakes. I'm sure there are plenty of lessons for future explorers, first respondents, regular people from these events.

A vast majority of orgs that claim to be data-driven don't have the correct model

There will be a time when those things matter when it hurts the bottom-line (Dropbox), but to prematurely optimize for that while you are finding product-market-fit is crazy and all companies are finding product-market-fit in the new AI era

A concept not hard to understand.

I had a 55' TV and I also bought an 85' TV.

I had a 24' monitor. I also bought a 34' monitor

Not a difficult concept to grasp

Companies: Here's a ad-free version. Subscribe

HN/Reddit: Why are you asking me to subscribe? I hate this

You'd pay double the price for double the screen size (if more screen size serves a useful purpose to you)

It's really not that hard of a concept to grasp.

Ballmer set the foundations for many of Microsoft's success today, including Azure

If transformer doesn't excite you (mostly due to anti-Google bias), Google has a dozen products that has over a 500 Million users. It takes an unprecedented amount of anti-corp brainwash to say Google isn't successful or innovative.

Next question

1) If you think Transformers weren't category defining, I don't know what to say.

2) Metaverse isn't a failure. That's like saying in 2019, "Chat Agents are a failure"

Meta/Google/Amazon/Microsoft are literally investing R&D $ that will pay off 10+ years later.

Yet they all have laid off people.

Just because you laid of people doesn't mean they aren't thinking long term.

Really how can reddit/HN and social media be so blind about this when they have data screaming at them?

democracy + socialism

democracy + capitalism.

One period marked poverty, child mortality, While the other marked good standard of living and reduced child mortality.

I'll let you guess and pick the confounding variable from the equation. That's the advantage of independent thinking vs brainwashed-by-liberal-universities (and thank god I didn't study in some brainwashed liberal university)

You can't have it both ways. Start misinformation about how capital markets work and not expect to be corrected.

HN is a discussion forum. If an incorrect fact or misguided opinion is shared, it will be debated.

I'm sympathetic to OP, but I also understand the dangers of misinformation and the resulting brainwashing of anti-capitalistic movement it causes and I will protect capitalism.

If the board thinks they are not doing their job, they will be fired.

How is it not difficult to understand for a self-appointed smart crowd?

The CEOs / Executives are literally appointed by the board who in turn are voted in by shareholders. It is their job to increase the share price.

The world is better of with efficient capital deployment.

So, I don't understand how the smartest people in this world don't understand the fundamental working of capital markets.

Note: it's the same shareholders that have allowed to get $200-$300k TCs when smart people around the world toil the same as you for $60k. So, you can't have it both ways

Thank God for the Supreme Court which will see right through Lina Khan's agenda. And you can thank Lina Khan for destroying FTC through her overreach
