It's interesting how none of the top comments mentions capitalism as the reason for companies losing their original mission. It's the same force that causes enshittification: the (unachieavable) infinite pursuit of profit. Sooner or later all companies will fall into the "financial gravity". The ones the author mentioned just haven't gotten there yet.

In case you're not aware, Chinese cars have the same or even better quality than US, European and Japanese cars. Their electric vehicles are cheap and high quality, it's really impressive.

Your charity argument only validates the parent's comment. No healthy society should rely on private charitable as safety net for the less fortunates.

It's interesting that your feeling that "academia is dying, and dare i say irrelevant", to me, is exactly what brought us here and to the status quo you're complaining about. Maybe return to academia and improve things there?
The neoliberal era is ending. What comes next?

I wish Firefox had a good multi-account support like Chrome has. That, and the fact that iOS 14 might allow to set your default browser would make me move to use Firefox everywhere.

I lost my mom this year to the same cancer and I get really excited with any advancements that are made in this area. I feel like we're still playing with sticks and stones in terms of pancreatic cancer treatment. The whole surgery plus chemotherapy is just barbaric.

Cool, that makes sense. Thanks!
Ask HN: Is there a better period of the year to apply for a H1B position?
The US Government opens the program for applications on April and then it reaches the quota usually in a few days. Does that mean that if I apply for a job in the US in May (and I need a H1B visa) I'm out of luck? Do I need to hurry and apply for a job let's say before March?

I think that one business model that will never get old is information spread. Most (all?) of the problems we see in the world today could possibly be fixed if people were more knowledgeable. And I don't mean necessarily textbook knowledge, but common stuff as well.
For example, I live in a somewhat small city and it's not easy to know where can I go to have swimming classes. Google could help me with that, but usually these places aren't very tech-savvy (or they do have a certain presence, but they don't keep it updated).
Another great example: https://www.pointy.com/.

Ask HN: How does a Bitcoin based voting app works?
I've been thinking about this for a while. From my understanding, each vote cast would create an entry on the global blockchain. But the minimum one can spend to create a node is a Satoshi, which is frowned upon on the community, and even so when you get to millions of votes, it'd become a bit expensive to keep the app working. Did I get this right or is there a better approach to scale?
