Does any one else find the site design frustrating? Constant top/bottom bars and a full window height of low-quality content before the article begins.


I always wonder what people are talking about, but I've had this extension for so long that I forgot how bad medium is.

"Make medium readable again"

There were some discussions about that here before. One of them is this "Make Medium readable again": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16516126

Straightforward and discreet, maybe.


Illegal, another word.

Legally "suboptimal", in that you're confessing to the future victim of a crime that you're about to inflict a crime on him. Not only do you become liable, we've just established conspiracy to commit, rather than just the crime itself. This generally doubles the penalty. Bonus idiot points for doing it over email.


That is interesting, thank you.


The piano outro played in the last few seconds was the Close Encounters of the Third Kind note sequence[0].

> They have a ton of insider information that nobody else does

Are you willing and able to elaborate?


They have a (slightly out of date) page on the very topic

https://www.semiaccurate.com/fullyaccurate/

Some things since then, they were the first media outlet to talk about how Intel's 10nm was a disaster, The first media outlet to talk about Zen chiplet technology and predict AMD had a homerun on their hands.


They also "predicted" Intel's delays and ultimate failure with Broadwell (basically a 6-month product), too.


Very interesting, thank you.


They may not directly sell user data, but their revenue derives from leasing targeted access to end-users filtered by insights drawn from said data.


> ps. also you're not being very helpful with "No, that's not what he's saying" without telling me what he is saying.

> If anyone believes individual cashiers asking for maternity leave is a good way to get it, I've got a bridge you might also be interested in buying.

Sequoia is referring implicitly to the significant difference in power and efficacy of individual vs collective bargaining in the United States. Collective bargaining (e.g. unionization -> union negotiations) has long been a way for workers to effect more change in workplace conditions and compensation than they would otherwise be able to, alone.

Paid maternity leave is a luxury in the United States.

The bridge comment implies gullibility.


Your last sentence was straightforward, correct? (No sarcasm in the 'bias' section.)

I ask because that fits with my reading of both the report and the rest of your comment, but a few replies seem to interpret it as cynical.


Yes and no. I do think Stripe is biased, but that doesn't prevent what they're saying from being true. I think it's mostly true.

At the very least, the report quantifies to some extent the cost of code.

I'd love to see a more in depth study that deals with integrating with services vs libraries vs written in house - each of those have costs, though probably not equally.
