1. It's not really running containers in the browser, right? It seems every service would need a custom connector - and more importantly...

2. ...would need a renderer, right? Otherwise what does it mean to be "ported to the browser"?

To use an analogy - if somebody ported DOOM to the browser, that means I can now play it in the browser. But I can't really run those databases that it shows in the browser tab, can I?

I couldn't say spin up ruby2d and suddenly have client-side Ruby support. It would require all sorts of custom work to get that actually running in a browser tab.

Where presumably with typical backend container services they really can port around and run anywhere.

So I don't see the point, and someone correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't even seem to be what it asserts.

Love this.

Parking and speeding tickets should have income brackets, at least.

In the early Internet I saw this thing, no idea if it’s true but it sounds good (someone can math check it), goes something like:

A person pays $2 to play basketball on a public court.

Michael Jordan gets paid $2k to play on the same one.

A person pays $100 for basketball shoes.

Michael Jordan gets paid $100k to wear the same ones.

A person pays $40 to go see a basketball game.

Jordan gets paid $400k to attend the same game.

Michael Jordan makes about $5 per second.

If Michael Jordan saved all his money without spending a penny for 250 years…

He wouldn’t even have half as much as Bill Gates!

It made me think differently about money and consumer spending.

Nobody said that gravity is a literal force vector pushing objects, and if you did (a la aether) the theory would be discarded, just like the Standard Model will be discarded when people realize the universe is not made of balls.

Everybody knows what is meant by "model" and "theory" - there is no need to be so condescending for no reason.

The Standard Model asserts that the world is made of some number of basic "building blocks" and yet has had considerable trouble proving it thus far.

Insofar that it is a model of real, non-fictional physics, and not a thought experiment but an actual attempt at describing the universe in terms of its parts - it's obviously incorrect.

And Higgs DID NOT live up to providing an explanation of where mass comes from. That was the whole point, it was "the god particle" because it was supposed to complete the Standard Model by providing a mechanism for mass. It didn't do that. We still don't know.

Call it FounderRank. Just let people share stories like this.

Like RateMyProfessor but for founders, so people know who to avoid.

Make it. I’ll add a few.

These YC founders are not held accountable for their ridiculous behavior

> Atom was famously slow

It's your linter

And Electron apps do not have near native performance lmao Not even close. And neither does VS Code haha. Definitely slow just like Atom.

You missed the point
