The question was which is the most likely to decline, not to disappear.

I don't think Facebook (or Meta) will disappear, but I do think it is the mostly likely to decline.

The only one I think may disappear is Netflix - this is because Facebook benefits from the network effect which helps slow any sudden decline as all your family are still on it etc. whereas Netflix just needs a bad run of poor quality content and it could lose a lot of subscribers to competing services.

Netflix is also less diversified (even though now it's adding Netflix Games for some reason.. we'll see how popular that is..) which further weakens its position.

Having been all over the country it’s amazing to me how different Wyoming and say Tennessee are.

The people in Tennessee already had to deal with the federal government implementing policies destroying the domestic tobacco industry. Btw this just means foreign farmers reap the profits. The federal government made the input costs to tobacco prohibitively expensive through taxes and regulations.

They then converted mostly to grass fed cattle farms. Now there are multiple aspects that make it difficult to be profitable.

It’s really painful to watch.

2008 also had a pretty large impact for farmers losing their farms, followed bu drugs, increased taxes, etc make it pretty difficult. All the farmers complain around me about “getting good help”.
Agree in theory, but every time I think I'm about to cancel they drop something great like Squid Game, Dark, or Witcher.

Ask HN: Is the death of Moore's Law just the consequence of no competition?
We clearly can create bigger and stronger CPUs and GPUs. The highest end stuff Nvidia creates (like the V100) are amazing. I can't imagine the actual manufacturing cost of these things are particularly high, so that leads me to wonder: Is the only reason we're seeing stagnant growth because Nvidia et al has a monopoly on the IP to make these things? What's your take?
My 26 second training input perhaps wasn't enough. The result sounded like someone else. Is the result some kind of merger of my voice and a native speaker's?

If you're changing a letter in the acronym from F (Facebook) to M (Meta), it is inconsistent to not change G (Google) to A (Alphabet).
my 5c about your intro: I see you can handle a bunch of technologies but your primary focus and interest in the last time has been on Rust. You might promote yourself as a Rust Developer instead of mentioning all the other tech, so you can get easily filtered for the right job.
It seems like you could just use the index.

I.e. just use "git add -A" instead of "git cam"

Then you don't need "git wip"
Abolitionists and civil rights protestors had more clearly defined 'win' conditions. What is the end goal for 'woke extremists'? A person who was previously my friend could not articulate it to me. He said 'when white supremacy is gone' and then regularly leveled that label at every single thing you can think of, including Netflix, my parents, museums, and more.

I have heard that "discomfort is part of the process" but also that "there's always more work to do." My friend and I had "difficult conversations" about "doing the hard work" and I kept agreeing with him against my own beliefs and letting him go on about this stuff until one day he cut me out of his life anyway for not being woke enough.

I am sincerely at a loss for understanding.
> With big heavyweights like Disney that own a huge percentage of content having their own services, netflix is really going to struggle being anything more than niche media providers (anime) and their own inhouse media.

The thing is, they now pump out their own content quickly enough that they don't need anyone else's anymore, and as I understand it, that was always their goal. I imagine most of the TV-watching population (myself included) is okay with mediocre shows/movies, and Netflix has enough content that you're unlikely to completely run out of stuff to watch on their platform.

What Netflix is currently lacking is big blockbuster movies with well-known actors, but even that is changing. (See: Red Notice, Army of the Dead, Bird Box, etc.)

Tell them that you had significant burnout but enough savings that you could take a break and renew yourself. No need to include specific medical details and nature of the burnout.

Also, start reading and updating your skills immediately. Then you can honestly say that during the down time you have been doing so. They aren't going to ask if you started working on keeping your skills updated from day 1 of your break.
I can’t speak for the entire spectrum available. But I have two data points and am shocked at the difference, since I expect none.
At home I have a rancilio rocky grinder, bought used, newly replaced burrs.
It’s “stepped” so I don’t have much fine tuned flexibility - I’m basically choosing between only two or three steps for espresso.

My friend has a Pharos manual grinder. I’ve come over to help his wife adjust the grind several times.
I bring the same beans I’ve been using that week as a reference point. I’m always shocked how much better theirs tastes - even far-out-of-optimal shots - ones that are very fast or very slow.
On my machine the unpleasant overextracted flavors creep in quickly. I chalk it up to consistency of the grind - and that’s observable. You can pinch grinds up and “smear” them across a white sheet of paper to observe size, and to a lesser extent, variability.

I’m still surprised that the grinder affects the espresso more than the espresso machine.

Note: the Pharos is a beast and I don’t recommend it unless you like armwrestling as part of you coffee prep every time.

“Through magnetic conduction, NPS-1260 works on a micro-level to bind the electrons in your connectors, improve their transfer of energy, and direct the current more fluidly. Put simply, NPS-1260 strengthens the chains that make your system, so you’ll have no weak links. As a result, you end up with a system that has higher clarity, less distortion, and better imaging.”

I agree with you on this.
However, Dr. Malone is very well known in his field and yet has been banned from both twitter and linkedin in the past few months (before the video aired). The wider issue goes beyond a simple DMCA. The guy is vaccinated, infected twice, a "senior-level" scientist in the field of infectious diseases, but is also outspoken against vaccine companies and forced jabbing.
I mean, to be a bit more charitable, when you have use cases that require server pushes, the traditional server rendered pages don't work so well, and that is where SPAs make sense. Mind you, a lot of the frameworks for rendering server side have started to include natural ways of handling those updates (Phoenix Liveview for instance being one I'm familiar with), that makes it so you likely don't need an SPA in those situations, but there are still use cases where an SPA may be simpler or may enable a UX that otherwise would not be possible.

But to the apparently snide response to my original comment, while there may be reasons for SPAs, there are also plenty of uses of them that could be more simply done via server side rendering, especially with the place such frameworks have moved towards, in enabling server pushed updates.

I would love for Google to build this in. Until they do, there is a WebExtension that does this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hohser/ ("Block or Highlight Search Engine Results"). I use it to block stuff like W3Schools so when I search for something, MDN is always #1. Saves me a lot of time having to add "MDN" to the end of every query.
Ignoring KPI and financial results I'd say Netflix because its core business is not as diverse as the others ? Unless they pivot their core business to a video CDN.
It makes no sense to posit that IQ differences between population have a different cause than IQ differences between individuals. Adoption raises the IQ by at most 5 points ! What environmental difference could have a much more dramatic effect than that (between population IQ difference are up to 15 pts) ?
Interesting! Pretty obviously some sloppy science but I'm not sure that's a debunk. For something in the Bible to turn out to be based on real events with religious overtones added. Religions are always poaching from history, to find some truth to a story in a religious work is not surprising, nor is it a confirmation of the religious aspects of it.
It’s not so much whether it’s a shock it’s this way. It’s a critical part of the civilization that once gone will endanger and lead to people dying in large numbers by things they ordinarily wouldn’t have died. There’s no fast way to replace them, too.

Tangent, I’ve seen articles musing about hospitality staff shifting to these positions from hotels, restaurants, and the like. The article I read clearly had no firm grasp on the knowledge and years of training needed to replace a nurse or even a tech.
Yeah, have fun building an "offline first" app if your scope is anywhere in excess of Postman.
Agreed about the problem, but not the solution. I love that Toyota still has buttons (and nice, big, rugged, built to last buttons).

The last thing I want is a damn ipad. I want a dumb screen that just supports android auto / carplay. No navigation, no infotainment, etc. Perhaps a simple radio mode. All other functionality required to operate the vehicle should be a physical button.
Bumble as well, despite not solely a chat app

Exactly. The context being the discussion of the article where that's made clear.
Having worked at Facebook and seeing where they are headed I think the HN numbers are way off and this poll is mostly "what company does HN hate the most" not which is most likely to decline. Hating FB as a company is fine, and FB as a product is probably likely to decline, but they are as OP mentioned significantly better at shipping new product than any other company listed except Apple. Facebook's biggest challenges are not owning a real platform (platform holders could hurt them) and having lots of serious competitors. These are real problems, but I think their ability to fast follow can put them in #2 for a lot of different categories they care about.

Netflix has a lot of room to grow in new markets, gaming and possibly other types of media. I think they can continue to produce good content and I think some smaller players that are locking content to their own services might return to Netflix in the future (like Microsoft, Sony and EA are now all back on Steam)

I don't think any of these companies is in serious threat of decline, but out of all of them Google seems most stagnant.
The reason the store egg shells are white is because the Leghorn breed is the most productive layer and it produces white shells.

But to compare our homestead eggs to the store's, you can simply hard boil the two and then use a knife to cut the eggs in half. Our pampered chickens make much denser yolks that are much harder to cut. There's clearly more of something in them.
Its a double edged sword. Reviews take effort so you want to make them easier for customers to write. But making them easier for your users also makes them easier for those trying to game the system. This is why Amazon's product reviews are useless as well as pretty much any other community based review system.

But on top of that you do have the problem of whether or not someone is really qualified to write a review. So Joe User thinks product X is good. What is their metric for good? It reminds me of an LTT review of the Amazon TV from a few months ago. They gave it an awful rating but noted that the reviews on the product page were generally very positive. And their reasoning was that the people buying these TVs and reviewing them didn't have a good comparison point for what a good TV actually is. They are probably comparing it to a much older and less advanced product not to a contemporary one.

So then you think the answer must be get reviews from industry related media. But then you fall into the classic problems of unethical journalists or simply ones that are out of touch.
Since the more advanced machinery costs more, a customer would not buy it unless it saves them money, thus a significant enough amount of the savings must be realized by the customer after the increased cost to have any reasonable chance of market success: the farmer must win as well or the product is doomed.

In this way, the market does keep a company honest. Farmers are absolutely incredible businessman, they will have nothing to do with technology that only makes money for somebody else. Also, we generally sell our equipment and the vast majority is customer or Ag service provider owned.
I think in the context of natural language for game worlds, "prose" is targeting the much lower bar of something that sounds like a human might write it, vs like "you PLACED KEY in THE LEFT DOOR. Proceed to A STAIRCASE" from games of yore. Understanding the much richer space of literary prose, such as the difference between the Shire and Westeros, seems like a harder problem, but also one that might be well suited for existing NLP training pipelines, because you can label a large amount of text with only a few descriptors. It might be tough to come to a consensus amongst literary experts what those descriptors should be, but e.g. if LOTR book 1 is "pastoral" and ASOIAF book 1 is "gritty", you've now got a lot of text associated to each of those labels. I wonder if anyone is working on this?
Destroying tobacco? Wasn't $2B subsidies over the last decade, enough to keep it going?
That was what Google was to Yahoo/Altavista back in the day, a 10x improvement. Reading this thread, people feel pain enough do all sorts of hacky stuff - appending 'reddit 'or 'forum' to queries, blacklisting spam domains, switching search engines depending on topic. If G keeps declining and a new product does things better, the penny will drop and people will swap.

Siebel and PG see blood in the water no doubt, they see G's market share and want to fund companies to take some of this.

> but spending two years refactoring kernel headers for a gain in build performance but not in runtime performance, is objectively "massively boring".

It makes a big difference for the thousands of kernel developers [0]. There's also more than a million linux users globally[2], assuming only 1% might compile their own kernel, that still leaves tens of thousands of linux users benefiting.

Not to forget about the side benefits of a refactor. There could be runtime improvements coming out of this too down the road.

The original report states that Emile had a lot of trouble staying balanced on his bike as well. It is possible the Mythbusters version didn't work very well because the design was fundamentally flawed. From what I understand he didn't even get out of civilization with it, being picked up by the army not far from where he built the thing.
