#22Hacker News comments age about as well as Donald Trump's tweets regarding the Obama administration.
Why are you already introducing politics into this discussion?

#23I really like the idea, and looking at Youtube interface 10 years ago remind me of the time when I started writing small programs. But I'm disappointing that the website doesn't use SSL at all.
Why would you need encryption on this site?

#24Haha, the HN post about Facebook has a very interesting comment which mentions the internet "a decade from now": > It is just a joke that Facebook could be valued at $6 billion. An absolute joke. > FB has 30 million users, and that's not considering potential duplicates. > The number of active users may be even smaller than that, and some people like I only log on once a week or so. > If FB gets sold for $6 billion,…

#27Front page story 10 years ago on the NY Times: In Silicon Valley, Millionaires Who Don’t Feel Rich ( http://web.archive.org/web/20070805144155/http://www.nytimes... ) Sounds familiar...
