The Old Internet remembers.
The "corporate person" is being a sociopath as usual and rather than saying "it harms our company" they attempt to spin it into something that hurts the individuals that work at the company. It doesn't. It hurts the "corporate person", but they can't come out and say that.
Wonder if he's gutsy enough to change his mind.
I think it's time HN applied the 'no politics' rule to economics too. Nobody is right, nobody is wrong, and nobody ever changes their mind.

Microsoft is certainly ahead of the pack with this product.
One bozo sends out an e-mail and it's news?
Barf. What shit "news".
I don't trust Yelp either. There have been too many stories like this over years - and even some in the comments section of this HN story!
Have fun with your "new collar" - don't let it choke you too much.

Let the circle jerk begin.
I can see why something in binary would be faster than structured text (think assembler vs Python).
Thanks again.
It seems like parsing JSON would be faster than the serialize -> deserialize process but with the popularity of things like Protobuff it's clear that JSON is slower.
No, not always. Good luck with the refactor (complete rebuild?) when the time comes.
HN is now a place to discuss corporate press releases and little more.
The comments sections are almost impossible to read because the signal to noise ratio is getting so large.
