There are some important considerations here that haven't been taken into account. For example, the United States is the only major country in the world that taxes non-resident citizens on their worldwide income, which makes it one of

The whole NewTLD project is a misguided, worthless money grab by ICANN which doesn't make sense on a lot of levels. At this point, why even expect them to apply any sort of logic for the common good?

This is a terrible idea, in my opinion. It would effectively cause users to "budget" the music they play, e.g.: "If I play that Rihanna song after playing 10 songs from my favorite indie band this month, it'll severely d

I totally support this "abuse" of their infrastructure if it makes them realize that giving free access to their own social network via Internet.org isn't a charitable endeavour.

Just wondering, why is the title of this submission allowed to remain as "Gravit - Open-source design tool"? Under HN's dogmatic rules, shouldn't it be renamed to just "Gravit"?
