Try Falcon.

The issue is that googles reputation is to avoid all contact. This gives less than zero faith in their commitments to support.

I loathe Googles various scaling limits.

"You need to ask a Google person to scale further, but hey we're Google and we do everything we possibly can to avoid human contact." Bleh.

Cause nothing is off topic in HN that's the rules.

There's a whole lotta stuff posted to HN, most of it doesn't get discussed even if it's interesting.

It's not a male conspiracy to carefully disregard and disrespect certain topics/posts.

Are you saying that in today's politically correct world, HN should rank and give equal front page time to every topic relating to a minority? And also implying subtly that the predominantly male audience of HN prefer prostitution stories over discussion of minority's issues?

Ruby On Rails is the Elizabeth Taylor of software development.

Find a smaller number of experienced people.

Where the heck in the world has NO networking?

You need RFC1149 networking https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1149.txt

Meh.

People remain the same people and companies remain the same companies.

It's in microsofts DNA to build stuff that captures and watches and monitors and logs.

Just because they've started to be more open, won't change the fundamental company attitude and approach to doing things.

Microsoft will simply be bringing more "Microsoftiness" to the open source world. Get used to it, there's more coming cause that's the way they build software.

I would suggest that it is time to rethink some of those outdated assumptions that tools won't spy on you. Microsoft have arrived at the open source party, so open source isn't the same any more, just accept that the world has changed and now it's entirely possible that your open source is logging and watching.

I'm not a fast programmer nor the smartest, but I am a relentless problem solver. I'm the terminator of problem solving ..... once I get stuck into working something out I just can't rest till I've cracked the case.

You're good at programming if you work hard at really learning your craft.... learning some things to deep expert level and many things to competence. So many programmers make no determined effort to learn - they are the shit programmers.

What is the perfect language?

Sco unix was for the 286

Can I say this? What a fucked up country.

Edward DeBono calls democracy a "dictatorship of the majority", i.e. we vote in a new dictator every 4 years.

War is going to look like nothing compared to what happens to civilization when the ice caps have melted.

It's such a silly question. No one is readu for a missile attack except the navy. And no one can prevent a missile attack despite all the bluster about missile defense systems, again, except the navy, and the only reason the navy can defend is because ships are such small targets compared to countries and cities, so navy defensive systems have a chance of hitting incoming missiles because there is some certainty about what they are aimed at. Even then I wouldn't give a ship much of a chance against multiple incoming missiles.

The only positive thing working for the target when it is a city is that ICBMs are likely to fail to hit and detonate precisely as intended.

It's stupid cause it doesn't solve the problem it is intended to.

Is it a perfect team, with a complete working product, massive user base and sales and no risk and lots of other investors wanting in? We're in!

Else, "Your company is not a fit for us right now but keep us in the loop."

Is there a safer alternative such as using salted hashed ip addresses?

Ok so in the event of an HN hack, real users will effectively be indirectly DOXed?

What could possibly go wrong? (Eye roll)

Put all these ideas into one big system, free sites for vets, upsell vet management systems as pro services, make it fun with cat video uploads.

Your original idea of selling websites and getting vets to pay, well you can mail that one back to 1997 when that was a good idea.

Yeah but there's lots of cat owners who want to read about cats and (speculating) cat health diet and behavior and maybe show cat photos and talk cat.

Build a website for them and do the cold calls to cat food suppliers to sell ads.

Or sell websites to cat owners for their cat - every cat needs a website.

Or make "hot or not" for cats.

Or combine all these into one site.

The internet was mostly made for porn and cats so you should be able to get the cat thing to work.

My recollection was that availability of hardware drivers was a huge issue and a major barrier for operating systems attempting to take on windows.

In bizzaro world, sure.
