I'm in the process of building a Hugo site, and I'm at the point where I'm looking for deployment options. My assumption was that I'd mostly be looking at fancy ways of just pushin…

I found Matrix and Riot a while back while I was searching for an encrypted, open-source alternative to Rocket Chat for my team. While there are still some things that need improvi…

Do you have more info or a link on the Manuel Valls quote? I'm trying to find more context online, but having trouble.

> Students are now asked to give up their present for a chance at a good future. So... an investment?

Wow... I just spent an hour reading and rereading that small bit of text you linked to. I was never even aware of such a thing. What a powerful idea. Thanks for pointing out the po…

Just like a little regulation and oversight stopped the housing bubble, tech bubble, etc. I'm not saying this is comparable directly to those situations, but we shouldn't forget th…

I'm definitely going to be testing this on my own server. I've been looking forward to this since it was annouced. One bit of constructive critism: You got to lose the Mailpile fon…

You're right. Insolvency is a more accurate term to use in this case.

> How does a government funded org ever face bankruptcy When there is no money to pay its debt. Simple as that.

Whether or not private companies can provide better health care than public institutions is an entirely different argument, and was not one I was trying to make. Bankruptcy has not…

I disagree. Facing bankruptcy is facing bankruptcy. Politicians can make it sound as complicated as they like, but at the end of the day, if you owe a man $20, you're going to have…

> Meanwhile, very, very large government programs like the NHS do well and provide healthcare to millions in an affordable way with great outcomes. Isn't NHS facing bankruptcy?

Exactly. I understand there's a difference, I just thought the way I was using it was completely obvious.

Do I need to explain how a publicly traded company is still private, or are you just being purposely obtuse?

Ever heard of Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, etc.? Google just does it better than anyone else at the moment. Now I'm not saying Google doesn't have a de facto monopoly, but I'm wary of …

Yes...please do! I need all the encouragement I can get.

Well put. This may seem obvious to the HN crowd, but not as much to those outside of the field.

Not following you here. Care to elaborate? I'd invest my money in a company who makes 200,000 in revenue with 100,000 in profits much faster than one who makes 200,000,000,000,000 …

This argument always blows my mind. Who cares about revenue? Profit is what counts. If you make 10 trillion, but have to spend 10 trillion and 1, you're failing. Web-based companie…
