Doesn’t mean the free market doesn’t work. Asking people to pay before putting out the fire could be seen as a pay per use model. While a government run service funded by tax dollars could be seen as a subscription service that price discriminates on income tax rates.

In both cases it’s the market at play.

SV has some of the best (by strict definition of a capitalist) and most ruthless capitalist the world has ever seen.

It’s amazing and baffling that the general public still views sv as progressive.

Indeed quite curious of the definition of an app.

What’s the context here

I’m confused. So YC kicked out the guy who complained about it on Twitter and not the people who advocated for lying to skip lines? Wtf?

Can someone tldr what PayPal has been doing for the past half decade. While startups has been eating their lunch.

Man. Time based bugs are some of the worst. I spent weeks trying to figure out what was wrong with some of my scripts running under WSL. Apparently wsl Linux kernel had a bug that could cause time to drift by minutes.

It’s a recruitment video

This makes me rethink the nature of a marriage.

It doesn’t matter what the consumer prefers. This battle is about the _ability_ to implement a feature, and that power should reside with the application developer.

Monopolists can often have batter products as well as charging monopolistic pricing.

I feel like Facebook has realized that if they win in a major market and becomes a monopoly, reputation no longer matters as they are dominant anyway. This is perhaps the logic behind nonintervention.

Can’t this also be said about windows. How do they solve this problem ?

This is true but the solution should be anti trust action against amazon as well, as opposed to let fb be monopolistic and “give small business a chance”

Nearly all break through inventions seem obvious in hindsight. I guess putting the pieces together and connecting the dots looking forward is what’s incredibly hard. The search space can still be immense.

Maybe that’s the entire point

Can someone ELI5 on the significance.

Let’s face it. It has never been about fairness. Only profit maximization.

Thanks for sharing. I will not be using them in the future.

Is there an audio version of this article? Seems like it was an interview?

Thanks!!

It really is a one of a kind story.

The filmmaker is incredibly ambitious, much like a lot of the startup founders we see here in the Valley.

He constantly held himself to such a high standard he eventually burnt out. But it’s this tenacity and drive that made the film possible. Diving daily for a year in frigid waters while doing excellent filmography, and then later stitching the story together into an mesmerizing narrative.

Much respect for this man.

Wow that’s dirty

How does the fraudster make money on reddit ads frauds? Reddit operates the site, so don’t any money go to them?

Can’t wait to jump on this and binge on my favorite hyper personalized ads!

Interestingly, the soviets were on a mission to provide housing for every person in the country. To be successful, they knew that bringing down cost will be key. This then led to entire cities and provinces to only build 1 or 2 floor plans.

I don’t think the west is ready for this level of equality. Lol

If they don’t compete on price, do they compete on service? Or simply just distribution (which insurance firm they are in network with)

Aren’t hospital groups in the us privately owned? So isn’t there a profit incentive to cost reduction or increasing efficiency? If so how come capitalistic forces hasn’t driven the cost down?

A company so rich they designed their own meeting room booking hardware. This is blowing my peasant mind

Is total human/intelligent species population not a prerequisite for industrialization. If so, we would expect to see a lot of fossilized remains, which we have not seen.

How do these compare to what Tesla is using?
