Speed to market has always been a factor. Venture prioritizing this factor due to AI accelarating speed is probably expanding ... for now. In bubbles, speed tends to rise to a higher priority.
Yes, first/fast is sometimes a negative factor (e.g. first to market doesn't mean best, second to market can take advantage of proof of market proviced by first, etc.)
You have copied the World War Z script's tenth man description word-for-word:
(If nine of us) "look at the same information and arrive at the exact same conclusion, it’s the duty of the tenth man to disagree. No matter how improbable it may seem, the tenth man has to start digging on the assumption that the other nine are wrong." [1]
I told some people after I first saw the movie that it could have been named "the tenth man", and shared the concept. So I remembered the quote and the concept, and I notice it wherever it may nearly crop up.
Presumably your defensiveness (edit: and your downvote) is because you feel attacked. Not my intention, nor was it to associate an organizational concept with its presentation to tarnish it somehow. I think HN readers are pretty observant that fact and fiction are mixed in modern media. I didn't mean "copy" as in "borrowed", I just noticed it was word-for-word.
If I were to "Sherlock" a bit, I would presume you've been attacked before, since you tend to share longer comments, and we all know the more you say online, the more harshly diverse the viewpoints of responses will be. I wish that were not the case. Your comments seem to be detailed and thoughtful, which sadly invites more criticism in the current state of online commenting.
One thing you can do is assume the best intentions of a comment, and respond to that. HN encourages that.
You can copy/paste (or share to, if you set that up) what is visible before the paywall into Perplexity or similar service to see if the article is syndicated elsewhere paywall free, or find similar sources, e.g. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/apple-privately-threatened-...
If you have Apple news you can share to that in a similar way.
Some of us had a juggling party at a lake. All amateurs, i.e. few could manage much with clubs. An international juggling award winner (don't remember more than that) found out, joined us, and had a number of us partner juggling flaming torches pretty quickly, and kept pushing us into more and more techniques. The quality of the coach matters!
Definitely deplorable. If he is as many claim him to be, and the info about pushing hard to control the narrative recently is accurate, the timing certainly is suspect. But part of the point of a false flag is to make it hard to discuss whether it is a false flag, and ideally to see that it is never determined one way or another.
I think pretty much every corporation that can have had this thought, has had it. Really "any popular software" where they can provide similar functionality. And I think this is going to happen more often before it becomes less common.
I started building sites for clients in the late '90's, and quickly made "client can edit their phone number on all pages" a key requirement. Wordpress with a WYSIWYG page builder solves that — it's not the only solution, but it works pretty close to right out of the box.
