It depends. Microsoft is the most valuable company in the world and they don’t have any recent “hits”. They just keep doing their core business well just like Google does. That being said, all the research for all of this AI renaissance has come directly out of Google.
I don't understand how Apple is hitting home runs. What have they really innovated on post Steve Jobs? Their products are pretty much equivalent to the competition with 5% more polish at the cost of 5% more time to release. Marketing wise, they are close to gods, but innovation wise, even Microsoft is better.
I definitely agree on the fact that Tim is a much better CEO than Sundar. However I consider Satya to be much better than Tim.
Sure! Why not? Especially if we all know that that is the main determining factor of the recruiter, and the recruiter is completely protected from any discrimination. You can simply lie, regardless.
If the employer won't digitally sign their denial of my resume,or even acknowledge the reason for my denial, I'm not digitally signing mine; which means it's a theatre of discrimination disguised as "filtering" from BOTH sides.
I'm surprised so many prolific firms beyond FAANG still treat hiring like the big accounting firms of yore did/do.
One of the things I've come to really enjoy in Brave is its "Show Wayback Machine prompt on 404 pages" feature. I know this is tangental to your point, but I felt it still worth noting.
1) There are people who dislike E. Musk but you can't know whether the downvoters are those people or not.
2) Twitter hasn't shutdown, but you can't know if that's connected to the downvotes.
3) Same as 2)
4) You can't know that the parent was downvoted for happily using Twitter.
For something which claims to be "the reason and reality", it's really "things I imagine are the reason without evidence, because that lets me feel superior to strawHN users". The reason I'm writing this is to intercept you going "downvoted for telling the truth" because what you are telling isn't the truth.

By inspecting the greyed out comments and its content, you can find your evidence of this by simply seeing more of the flagged / dead comments supporting Twitter / X. No explicit admitting is needed.
Thus, this is indeed an over-reaction to the four facts and given the HN sentiment has already been cemented to detest the fact that Twitter / X did not shutdown as incorrectly predicted and any user reminding of this or praising Twitter / X and still likes using it gets downvoted. They will never admit to downvoting themselves.

When faced with the harsh reality that Twitter / X is still running after 2 years of a prediction of its collapse perhaps that truth hurts many folks here the most.
You are missing the fact that, for many of us who used to enjoy Twitter in exactly the way you described, X no longer fills that need, because the subject matter experts whose real-time thoughts we used to follow have left the platform, and all that remains are people whose real-time thoughts we don't generally want to hear.
That may differ from your experience - your real-time expert community might be different than mine.
But for a lot of us who actually used to enjoy Twitter, what you're describing is no longer to be found there.
Nah, you're probably wrong about HN users not knowing how to use Twitter. You're assuming the worst - perhaps assume that people have good reasons for avoiding it and ask what those might be?
I have about 5k followers on Twitter and have posted roughly 10k tweets over the last 16 years of having an account there. I'm pretty familiar with how to use it. I've moved to mastodon - the part of Twitter I used to value is a dumpster fire, many of my colleagues have moved, and I don't want to contribute to monetizing hateful garbage. And that includes preferring not to log in, which means threads don't show up any more. So it was nitter or nothing.
I used to use Twitter and I simply disagree with it being more useful than HN. I suppose it depends on the focus of content you want to learn or read about
For me it's the abysmal SNR no matter where I look, except if it absolutely needs to be real-time. Even considering just the "content" and ignoring the unfathomable interface that we're left with now.
It’s HN. Everyone here has encountered many true believers who, when confronted with a criticism of their favorite tool, responds “well, you are using it wrong. Change your workflow to match mine, which is superior anyway, and then you’ll see.”
It’s tiresome, and I for one have little patience for someone patronizingly suggesting that I'm being stubborn for refusing to allow them to enlighten me.
Is that what you were doing? Maybe not. But you certainly matched my regex, so to speak.
