Go is not a simple language. Please learn from my mistakes, and ignore arbitrary metrics like how go has fewer keywords. The complexity doesn't go away, it's hidden away somewhere. If anybody wants to learn go, ignore everything a

My ideas: * Tax monopolies more heavily and redistribute that money in the same area. Take from Google, and give it to competitors like DDG, even Bing, and even back into Google. * Heavily socialize basic things like transport, telecommunic

Is seebs someone that's particularly famous? The parent comment seems to imply they were part of the "Stallman, Linus, ESR, et. al." And their profile just says "that seebs".

I don't see how that makes sense. In HN of all places, I would expect people to understand that it costs money to maintain a product for different systems. And it wasn't even their fault, your laptop getting stolen is not on them

Yea, that changes things, that's a pretty good deal then. Especially because Cloudflare's pricing is "smoother" and detached from any one service.

I am astonished at the valuation. I don't understand how there isn't more competition. It's not that difficult to wire up different APIs. This is great for open source software because it's highly modular, independent de

Does anyone at Google actually care that the company's reputation has become pretty bad? I know this comment is just a joke, but I think it's an indication of a bigger problem.
