Okay, maybe it's just me.
skdotdan··on Wikimedia Foundation spending
Maybe a bit off-topic, but I don't think we should use the word "cancer" that way.
skdotdan··on Ask HN: Should I create a clone of a popular SaaS with rock-bottom pricing?
I would try to find a niche within the market of this competitors, and unbundle the set of features that are relevant for this niche, making the product simpler and slightly cheaper.
skdotdan··on Ask HN: How do you invest your money?
Thank you very much for your answer.

I'm more inclined to index funds than to ETFs, though. What you have said about ETFs also apply to their index funds?

skdotdan··on Kodi: Open source TV app inspires full-blown copyright panic in the UK
Thanks for your answer.
skdotdan··on Roger Penrose on Why Consciousness Does Not Compute
Thanks!
skdotdan··on Apple’s China Problem
The problem with many tech analysts is that they are Apple fanboys without even knowing that they are. Stating that Microsoft Surface and Samsung S8 are not competitors of Apple just because their products don't run Mac OS/iOS is pure fanaticism at the very least.

Nevertheless, I find that the main point of the article is right. But Apple's China problem is also a very important problem for Google (actually, it's worse for Google).

I agree. I would love to read a sci-fi novel on this topic.

$13/month?
skdotdan··on Soylent Closes $50M Series B Round Led by GV
The future is food that tastes and feels like real food but with the nutrients that your genetics and physical conditions tell that you should eat. One day...
skdotdan··on Ask HN: Do you regret taking investment?
I actually regret not taking investment.
skdotdan··on Ask HN: How do you invest your money?
Does anybody know the equivalent to Vanguard but for Europe (not UK)? Or, can I buy Vanguard from Europe?
skdotdan··on Show HN: My first native iOS app – Cone, a real time color picker
Awesome. Great idea, even better execution. Would you be interested in an Android developer for developing an Android version?
skdotdan··on Elon Musk's TED 2017 Full Interview (YouTube Video)
It's worth watching every single interview to this man, honestly.
skdotdan··on Ask HN: Annual or Monthly billing, which is better?
Could you expand on that?
skdotdan··on Ask HN: Do you think Electron is good for building Desktop Apps?
Ease of development vs software quality for the user is supposed to be a trade-off but I'm quite convinced it actually isn't, and it may be one of the biggest lies of the software development history.
skdotdan··on Ask HN: Do you think Electron is good for building Desktop Apps?
Or even Chrome itself.
skdotdan··on Microsoft phone revenue fell to $5M last quarter, from $1.4B two years ago
Mobile is an obvious existential threat to Microsoft.
skdotdan··on Pushing a Trillion Row Database with GPU Acceleration
Thanks!
skdotdan··on A is for Alphabet
I know, but in 2015 or so.

Also, Softbank acquired ARM as an investment and it is already paying off.

skdotdan··on A is for Alphabet
IMHO Google/Alphabet's strategy should have been reinvesting their huge profits in buying other big companies like ARM, Nvidia or SpaceX.
skdotdan··on Pushing a Trillion Row Database with GPU Acceleration
Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by FHE?
skdotdan··on Gett in advanced talks to buy Juno for $250M as Uber rivals consolidate
Instead of burning cash by subsidizing travels, Uber could have just bought some competitors but still... The only chance Uber has is becoming a monopoly, and I don't see how they can achieve it.
skdotdan··on Ask HN: How did you acquire your first 100 users?
Very interesting thread. I would like to read answers for B2B.
skdotdan··on Ask HN: How do you gain weight?
Can I ask how much do you weight and how tall are you?
skdotdan··on Google plans to reach a Quantum Computing milestone before the year is out
Are quantum chips supposed to replace the current CPUs and GPUs? Or are they supposed to be "just" another component that we connect to the CPU, the same way we connect GPUs?
skdotdan··on Metaprogramming is less fun in D
Many threads on D on HN lately. Is it a trend?
skdotdan··on Velodyne Announces a Solid-State Lidar
Redundancy?
skdotdan··on Cycling to work can cut cancer and heart disease, says study
I have to commute by train and bus (1h) and I hate it. I would prefer to spend 1h walking, or cycling, but it's just not possible.
skdotdan··on Ask HN: Best business advice for software developers
Awesome thread!

Starting the first company may be the most difficult thing. Once you are in the entrepreneurship loop, it must be easier to fund new businesses.
