Ask HN: What gives Elon Musk's companies their edge?

Hacker News - Fri, 11/22/2024 - 8:05pm

Something I learned over time is to judge people by the results they bring, not my personal feelings and whether I like them. As a consequence I've had to concede the fact that Elon Musk possesses a "key" to managing tech companies that routinely puts him far above the norm despite his many detractors.

His track record in terms of reliability, range and magnitude of success is unprecedented and signals that despite all his apparent personal faults he possesses a skill, sensitivity or decision making capability that puts him ahead of thousands of other very smart, hardworking people.

Does anyone have any insight, based on what they've read, seen or know about working at his companies that provides an explanation for this?

Ask HN: A monitoring app for new comments on your favorite HN posts

Hacker News - Fri, 11/22/2024 - 7:50pm

Thinking of the following weekend project, which would allow users to get notified over email whenever a HN post in their favorites, gets new comments or updates. Could be your post or someone else.

It could work as follows:

- Go to HN and find a post you like, visit the post page like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1 - Add it to your favorites list by clicking [favorite] right at the top

The following signup needs to be done only once:

- visit https://todo-hn-notifier.com - sign in with email - provide your HN username

Whenever a new comment appears in one of the favorite posts, an email is being sent. (With an easy unsubscribe link)

WDYT? Would you find such a web service useful? Any extra features would be cool to add?

Thank you.
