I remember running into a lot of those kind of folk here on HN, and unsurprisingly, a large portion of them are the biggest LLM detractors.

I'm concerned because my 5G microchip is still going strong. Will the next advances be compatible?

If someone made an API to build a data center? Or made an API to keep their lights on? What then?

Libertarians should try at a small scale first so that others can see the genius of their ideas, and be more encouraged to vote for them. I hear New Hampshire has towns open to this idea.

If it were a YC company I'd understand, but for anything foreign, I'm always suspicious.

Like many other HNers, I don't quite understand the appeal of not having their own computer, or even a VPS setup they can remote info for more structured work. But then I remember the famous Dropbox comment where one user had qualms, and perhaps looking outside our bubble can be worth it.

Is there a source for how discussions work?

I remember working on something like this as early as 1999! It was for a small European company, sadly we weren't able to put it out due to licensing restrictions at the time.

I'd love to know how this handles proper subtitle formatting. I'm in the process of learning many languages, and being able to cross check my own understanding with film and video would be fantastic.

As someone who may or may not have a Flock (YC 2017) watching me as I type this, I'm glad that it exists. I can now feel "Flock Safe and Secure™", knowing that the compromise I've made has been worth it.

Perhaps I'm your typical HNer like the GP comment and the topmost comment, but I don't see an issue with changing the style of the font entirely. Sure, it may be jarring to customers, but it's a short term pain for almost zero cost.

Like RTO mandates which were definitely made with wisdom.

I don't think this is an apt analogy. The bread makeup is still there, as far as I'm aware, no users have lost any data or are missing "key" ingredients.

An outage is more like a shipping issue with the supplier, if it's owned wholly by them.

Agreed. In fact, keep firing ops until someone gets it done. There's no way your company will build a reputation for not supporting their teams.

We don't even have to imagine. Many in this very comment section support this.

Make no mistakes.

We could always just build any software? I'm not sure what the author here is trying to claim as new.

There's commenters here who genuinely believe the hidden door handles have a non-negligible effect on the aerodynamics of these cars.

I believe the go-to response from leadership here is that there's other places to discuss political news, and that if it doesn't encourage curious, thoughtful discussion, it shouldn't exist here. So they probably won't address the flagging system as they truly believe it's working as expected.

Perhaps their founder contacts are in the ragebait and clickbait manufacturing business.

Is there any evidence that they haven't heard of it, or is this an assumption from your part?

Some people on this site genuinely believe we're still in a Biden economy and when things start to look positive that's when the Trump economy starts, so you're probably right.

I wonder if this is in the typical runbook for other YC companies.

I am not using Gmail. I like having the actual order details in my email so I can keep track of various orders without needing to go to Amazon's increasingly sluggish website.

Not to mention that finding previous orders via email is much, much faster than going through their website.

It's not very customer obsessed when their email that they send me doesn't even have which items I've ordered.

Something about this site really makes me yearn for the internet of old.

If you read through the comments in this very thread, there's an underlying sense that many who enjoy tipping like having a feeling of "rewarding" workers, which is absurd and astounding to see justified in real time in 2026.

Somehow other countries have figured out how to give great service (read: not the weird hovering that American waitstaff do) without tips, but it's impossible to figure out how sadly.

This is common in other countries outside of the US that do not demand tips, even western ones? When I was at a kebab shop in Germany, the owner offered my family to trial new sauces and falafel he was experimenting with, before we committed to our order.

In Asia, exceptional service is the norm and it is a taboo to tip there. The problem is the premise in the United States that exceptional service begs an exceptional tip. And often times, poor service still demands a minimum tip. As much as people here like to say otherwise, it is not culturally acceptable to not tip in the US, unless the service was of a disasterous nature.

Given that tips are a percentage of the overall bill, could you explain the potential performance difference between pouring a $7 bottle of wine and a $700 bottle of wine? Assuming that the customers already clearly know what they want to purchase, so the waiter didn't offer recommendations of any kind.

But even if we take that last point into consideration, a good waiter that cares about their customers can offer a cheaper, more suitable bottle than something expensive. How can they receive a higher tip than the person who does not offer suggestions but merely pours a more expensive bottle?

This is not even mentioning that the baseline of "performance" is sub-par indeed. Americans tend to gloat about how their tables never receive water top-ups or someone never asks how their food is going so they have an opportunity to ask for condiments or napkins. But most people in the world typically know how to ask for themselves if they require something, and don't need a pseudo-butler hovering over them. Not to mention that when it comes time to actually pay the check and leave, Americans tend to be some of the slowest at actually fulfilling this process.
