They think it's a smart way to say that the o.p. is dumb.

Because there's now a class of programmers who are very anti AI when it comes to coding because they think anybody who relies on it are degenerate vibe coders who have no idea what they are doing. You can see this in pretty much every single HN post w.r.t AI and coding.

What appeared as a good faith question, was answered in good faith and of course was later revealed to be a "gotcha" question. It's all so tiring.

"Oh so you drove all the way to my house? You couldn't walk?"

Anyone know how this compares to caprover?

This is a somewhat idealistic/naive view. If your project is even mildly successful and you get motivated to keep contributing to it more and more and form a strong community soon the leechers arrive. They start demanding more and more for literally nothing in return under the pretence that it's in the best interest of the project to add the features they want and to accelerate development.

It soon becomes exhausting to deal with them on a regular basis while still feeling good about contributing. People are faster to demand rather than appreciate and you start wondering what the point of all this is.

So yes, if you end up painting something that's like a high school project, sure, it's easy to leave it on the wall and not care. But if your painting starts getting displayed in galleries and there's a little "demand" for it, everything becomes a headache.

How is this different from Scrapy?

That has definitely not been my experience. The Made For Your section shows me tons of artists I've never heard from. I suppose it could be limited if you listen to a very specific niche where they don't have a large dataset on. I love finding new artists and then suddenly diving into a rabbit hole of discovering their older stuff.

Unfortunately the spotify music discovery is so good that I can't imagine leaving the platform :/

> Did the NYT not do the most basic research on Elon, which would have shown his consistent history of this kind of behavior they are now criticizing him for.

Twitter wasn't as big back then as it is now. Earlier all his thoughts were kept mostly to himself and social media wasn't as big. Twitter amplifies his inner thoughts. People don't seem to like it.

Love the humblebrag. This "investing" method works until once day it doesn't. Don't get me wrong, HN is wrong a lot of times. Those two specific examples are about companies that are monopolies for all intents and purposes. Google and Meta pretty much control their primary markets. Tesla does *not* control their primary market. In fact it looks like their competitors are closing in on them very fast. No one was closing in on Google Search or Instagram/Whatsapp. The numbers never indicated that at any point in time. For tesla on the other hand...

Good Luck :)

India has rampant corruption. Almost all the "winners" in bids are pre selected. There is no real competition, hence the fat profit margin. To be fair, a significant part of the "profits" gets sent up the food chain to ensure more contracts keep coming.

This is almost never true unless it's a life saving drug. Xerox literally had the keys to the kingdom for years before multiple people came along and figured out how to get the "tech" to mass market.
