“US sales of vinyl disks just surpassed CDs” (translation of the quoted headline).

I’d add that Lindy also applies to dimensions others than time, in a measure.
Over the dimension of “jobs”, vinyl players had 3 (playing music, pleasant piece of furniture, hobby) whereas CD players had 1 (playing music). Less Lindy across that dimension too.

As another example, a tech that is used in multiple countries across the world is Lindier than one used in only one, all other things equal.
That’s because the latter might work because of conditions specific to the one country adopting it; less likely for the former.

Basically Lindy uses sample size as an estimate for result robustness.
Time is a sample size, geography another, etc.
