Re:Show HN: I built a modern Goodreads alternative on Sunday March 02, 2025 @10:33AM (#43231426)
I would love a simple feature where I can get suggestions based on what's on my shelf. I'd even love to explore other shelves and see how people stack their books.

Why don't you?
I think people who get anxiety about this type of thing have a deeper issue they haven't effectively worked through.
I've had a long urge to start mixing music, so I scratched that itch over the weekend and now I'm waist deep into a new obsession.
Tell me more about why you believe their stock is hilariously overvalued.
Re:Airbnb's Devastating Effect on Canadian Housing on Friday March 08, 2024 @01:12PM (#39643983)
part of the problem is Airbnb though. We have 'investors' owning multiple properties and operating Airbnbs against local laws which does in fact decrease supply.

Worse or not, a meaningful majority of users will never even understand the alternate workflow you just described.
This is a really poor article and business insider is almost blinding to try to read but anyhow.. for the last few years we've been too accustomed to throwing money at problems, as opposed to thinking about the deeper rooted systematic causes and fixing those. This is now rapidly changing, right across the board, and it's fantastic.

Spotify at this stage of growth has a complex problem, they can either raise prices to squeeze more juice (something they are doing), or they can figure out new ways to attract more paying people, continuously while also curbing churn.

I'm not surprised that they are downsizing, cutting operating costs to maintain a sustainable business under the pressures they are facing is the first place I'd start too. Perhaps I'd take on some more accountability than Ek, yes that's for certain.

This is why you don't also download the music from stories when you download stories, no such agreement with Spotify.
Would just like to call out that there are 11 Men mentioned in this article and not a single Woman, really shameful work by NYT.

Tell me more about how SK is the orchestration engine for Microsoft Copilots? Which ones specifically?
reading this backwards comment gave me heart burn.

Good theory. Sam will come lead AI at MSFT.

I think the play is around intelligent meeting devices. A single device that connects to your internal data and becomes the ultimate meeting sidekick.
Re:The product manager role is a mistake on Sunday October 29, 2023 @12:26PM (#38060098)
What a waste of time reading that was, just wow.
You need to simplify your value prop. What is the core problem that you're solving around a single user scenario. Get me hooked on that and then help me expand the value as I start using and understanding your product.

Right no it's too much to digest, it feels heavy and like I need to learn a whole new way of working. It is not clear to me what problem or massive pain point you are solving for me. Remember, you are asking me to spend time trying, learning and using a new tool, sell me on why I can't go on another day without doing that.

You've built a ton of value, more is not always better. Simplify and make it stupidly easy to understand.

Congrats and good luck.

Ask HN: If you work at FAANGMA and you received a generous 4 year on-hire RSU

If you work at FAANGMA and you received a generous 4 year on-hire RSU and you are still in your role, why? I have been running projections and it seems to make no sense to stay after 4 years. I've taken into consideration: annual base bumps, RSU grants and bonus.Is it that you a) joined at fairly high comp, b) are comfortable with the comp you now make, c) other?

Matches Microsoft pricing for Copilot, smart.
Teams will use your O365 enterprise data to power it's AI 'copilot' offering, it's literally what its customers are asking for.

Actual title, "Here’s How AI Will Come for Your Job"
This hurts junior employees the most. Tenured employees have equity as a large part of their comp, they are invested in the stock price, not the few % annual bump.
Not sure this is an issue, I'm Canadian. This seems like Rogers customers will have access to reception via SpaceX satellites in remote areas, which is a good thing. If anything, this means a) Rogers has a slightly richer offering than the 2? other cell providers in Canada, b) Rogers is paying SpaceX for this OR Rogers is agreeing to play nice and in fact SpaceX is eating the bill.
It would be great if the AI knew what was on our respective bookshelves and then recommended new books based on that.

This will fundamentally change the way that M365 enables collaboration. I am truly fascinated by how quickly Microsoft is moving right now, it's really impressive. The moat on AI in enterprise continues to get bigger and bigger.
