most people have no idea where their apps come from. they think it all happens on their phone. this is why we can't have nice things.

We aren't building dozens of new datacenters to host more webapps.

Hey, this kind of comment is not okay on HN. You've been asked before to observe the guidelines. We have to ban accounts that keep breaking them. These parts of the guidelines are most relevant in this case...

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

We can't have nice things because people don't want power hungry polluting data centers in their backyards?
