Same thing with card payments. There are online card payments and in-store card payments and other kinds of payments. Stripe + Paypal volume is considered a fraction of it.

Open-source models + services. This is more attractive because it doesn't lock in the vendors. If I grow larger, I can decide to deploy the open-source models.

Most people on HN wouldn't be satisfied using anything. Therefore, probably no

Everyone on the planet is saying this. Every new hire orientation likely states this.

Do they go to Apple Store and login it to their personal account on the showcase iphone and yell at the genius employees?

The AI/compute revenue is higher than what the space department makes.

Effort is translated to money e.g. you do it yourself or you hire someone to do it; someone is spending that large amount of effort that is valued at millions of dollars/year.

If SPY is so great, then wealthy people would've just bought SPY.

But that's not what they are doing. They pay fund managers top money (think top 0.1% earner) to invest for them.

> Many strategies are dependent on that level of wealth (or designed to address problems that only apply to that level of wealth) for tax-related reasons.

Their main goal is to grow the funds. Tax-saving is secondary at best. Nobody would be okay with shrinking the fund to acquire tax-saving lol.

Who said it wasn't about Palestine? Who even thinks that? We are talking about the protest regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict, right?

So, you think Palestine is irrelevant to the discussion of ... rolling the dice ... the Israel-Palestine conflict

It's common sense yet you keep denying it.

They both want to kill each other. It's only that one side is winning.

Not sure why you need to mislead. It has been clear for 50 years at least.

This dude said he would help commit genocide and became the first republican to win popular votes in 20 years.

> The Israeli-Palestine conflict is far from the #1 priority of things US voters consider when voting in presidential elections.

If a president promises to commit a genocide, I don't think any kind of policies would get voters (who are against genocide) to vote for him.

It's certainly not #1 priority but it is a deal breaker.

> Hamas is resisting occupation

This is definitely not true. The fact that you downplay what Palestine has been doing is wild.

If you weren't, we would just discuss normally without insulting that the other side didn't have intention to discuss in a discussion forum.

So, somehow my comment angered you that you had to resort to the tactics of undermining the other side.

Then, I have a few products that have maybe 10 users.

Too niche is an issue.

I'd say, based on the latest election result, this isn't true.

Trump was basically like: I'm gonna fuck up Palestine. They'd better watch it. He was always clear about this.

And then he won every single swing state and even won popular vote.

Not that I agree with Trump. I merely state what I've observed.

Exactly, and organizing a support for Palestine immediately after Palestine committed a massacre is NOT okay.

> criticising hamas seems like premature optimization

Are you saying we shouldn't criticize Palestine?

> picking something basically irrelevant to the overall conflict

Why do I have to pick? Why do you need to pick?

We can criticize both. Both are evil in different aspects.

Why do you have so much issue with criticizing the evilness of Palestine?

Then, they turn around and tell average people to forget about the investment. Just park your money in the index fund over the long run. I mean, if you are either stupid or don't have time, then yeah please only do index fund.
