I didn't even know about it until yesterday! It's kept quiet and secret I guess. As a ham for 10 years now, I totally would've used this for projects if I could've got allocated space. I believe http://hamwan.

Exactly. The act of working at Google _is_ now a political position itself. The amount of power Google has should be checked, and if internal employee's are able to curb some runaway unethical programs, it is in their best interest of

I feel like someone could corner the market just by making tab complete that works as well as IRC did and adding a full dark theme to the desktop client.

Race to the bottom. This is what millennial are always told. "Well you just need a BEGINNER job, it'll get better". But, there are enough homes for everyone in the country and 20-30 year old homes are fine.
