In every thread on HN with very many comments you'll find comments that tangent off from the core for one reason or another. It's extraordinarily common here. You've been here for nine years, so you already know that. The reason I wrote that specific comment, dear pc86, is because there was wide discussion in this thread about Britain not being able to do their own version of AWS in-nation or not being able to do it cost effectively. So it only makes sense we, the US, might consider returning the favor with Britain on something they do far better than the US does (cost effective healthcare). Especially given they're an exceptionally important economic partner to the US and Amazon getting that contract is valuable to a US company. Did you happen to see Zenst's comment? They mentioned "The Catcher in the Rye," the audacity. What does that have to do with datacenters or software?
