Notes from an Emergency
- prawn 9y agoIf this has been posted already and generated a solid discussion, can someone point me towards it? I found a few submissions, none with more than a handful of upvotes and none with any comments. It strikes me as a really important read, and exactly the sort of thing I'd be keen to hear my peers discuss on HN.

- prawn 9y agoI searched for the two key words in the name, and also for "idlewords". I expected a discussion with 400+ comments, but found basically the same as you. I'm really surprised - thought this could've been a really important moment/opportunity for the industry.
- DarkKomunalec 9y agoOn the one hand he decries nationalism, on the other he worries that some other nation controls internet services. So nationalism is bad, until you start to lose independence? I guess ethnic nationalism is also bad, until you find yourself in the position of the Kurds, at the mercy of the four countries you're divided between.
