A disturbing thought. A world where the marginal cost of software is freehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49099018With the advent of AI, the marginal cost of software is trending towards zero. Software is no longer a scarce resource.Not a new idea at all, but the implications hit me hard as I was considering monetization models for my apps.Unless you are lucky (network effects, timing), grandfathered in, or provide exceptional value, the natural cost of software is free.Intuit is an example of a grandfathered-in, exceptionally high-value software approach.And Intuit knows it. They leverage their advantage to a predatory extent.My wife is an EA, and I know for a fact Intuit puts the screws to all its users. Switching costs are high, and since the sector is an oligopoly, there's really no one to switch to.But that too shall pass. Hopefully we'll soon see people create bespoke solutions that cut Intuit out. Oh, how I look forward to that day (ironic, I know).This implies, I think, that if you can't find 1,000 fans or got in under the old model, getting as many users as possible and then transitioningJul 29, 2026 3:46 PM

Year old Nepali and unemployed, any advice for me?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47998200I am in a spectacular situation.I graduated from CSE degree a bit late. I was 24 by the time I graduated. Then I worked in private firm for 2+ years.Then I quitted my job to prepare for Government IT jobs because they were stable, gave a Officer Level role for someone who is a BTech graduate.It has been 9 months since I started studying.Although I have little bit of savings, I was living with my parents.The household situation got really toxic with my father and I moved to my uncle's house(based on my mother's suggestion and coordination with uncle).I have been staying at my uncle's house for 4+ months.All I have been doing is studying for government job in this free time.The problem is whenever they see me playing in my free time, the aunt feels "Oh look he is wasting time". I do not think they are wrong to feel so. In no other countries of the world would anyone feed someone for free for 4+ months.Now I am done with syllabus. And the expectations from my parents and uncle(specially tMay 3, 2026 3:53 PM

Show HN: I built an interactive Bible explorer with timelines, popups and mapshttps://bibelanalys.seI've been a software developer for over 40 years, and I wanted to show my father what modern AI tools can accomplish. So I started building an interactive Bible explorer as a demo. It quickly turned into a real project. AI got me to a presentable UI fast, but the generated code was full of duplicated components and inconsistencies.After four decades of writing software, I couldn't leave it like that :-) cleaning that up was the real work. The content side had its own challenges: structuring biblical events into timelines, cross-referencing encounters across gospels, and building tool-tips for terms and names all required careful manual curation, not just prompting.My father has been fact-checking everything against the texts. The site is free, no ads, and supports 9 languages with parallel translations, interactive timelines, maps, and story breakdowns.Curious what HN thinks about the UX. Also happy to discuss the experience of using AI as a development accelerator and where, even afteMar 16, 2026 4:39 PM

Ask HN: Stepfather had $500k+ crypto stolen; PI found thief; but FBI won't helphttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35997256Background context: My stepfather has been investing in crypto for about 4-5 years. At the time, he primarily used Coinbase.Around the start of 2021, he had an issue where he had got locked out of his account. He was trying to get back in and was getting no response from support.Naively, he tried to Google "coinbase support phone number". Unsurprisingly, scammers had flooded the results with fake sites with phone numbers posing as Coinbase. Sadly, he fell for one of the fake numbers and was phished out of his credentials and all of his bitcoin was stolen. The value of it was around $500,000 to $750,000 at the time it was stolen.I was not as involved in my stepfather's crypto up to this point (though I wish I had been), but once he confided in me what happened, I have been trying to help him on attempting to recover these assets.I helped my stepfather audit a reputable private investigator firm that specializes in crypto theft recovery. Throughout the past year and a half, they have beeMay 19, 2023 3:06 AM

Was Charlie Chaplain prosecuted for being raped at gunpoint?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32462742Charlie Chaplin lost a paternity trial where the mother was Joan Barry (an alias), despite blood group tests excluding Chaplin as father. He was charged with several criminal charges relating to Barry. According to the 1946 appeal (also lost):“She testified that she and defendant had four acts of sexual intercourse at or about the date when, in the ordinary course of nature, the child must have been begotten. These acts occurred on the 10th, 23rd, 24th and 30th days of December, 1942.” [1]—-Apparently not examined at trial was December 19th 1942, when according to Chaplin’s FBI file[2] (part 02, page 166), Barry also told the FBI she had an “affair”. At the time, Chaplin’s children Sydney & Charles Jr were 13 and 14.According to the record of Barry’s interview, she says the affair with Chaplin turned sexual after signing a contract with his studio on June 1 1941. Not recounted is how the pair originally met. Very little is known about her life pre-1941 and less post 1953.Paulette was hAug 14, 2022 8:39 PM
