Fellow conservative here. Teddy Roosevelt had a balanced take on capitalism vs the rights of workers in one of his famous speeches. It "failed" at the time, but a lot of the principles ended up catching on: http://www.theodore-roosevelt.com/images/research/speeches/t...

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Life is short enough, I might as well refresh the wardrobe every now and then. Plus I'm helping the economy! A winning strategy all around.

There's no way 300000 people are actually reading entire books this way. Probably not even 3000. They're just clicking/swiping to get thru their entire stories feed, and these just happen to be in the mix.

I also made a newsmap.jp clone: https://news.brade.zone/
Used to be a bit better when google news told you how many articles existed per story (leading to more meaningful size differences), but it still gets the job done I guess.

Personally I'm a fan of the Phalcon framework. It's also structured similarly to Laravel/Cake/Rails but is compiled into a PHP module and thus runs super fast by comparison. PHP has certainly improved with the 7.x line so I'm happy to continue using it.

Google AMP is the devil and I've long since switched to DuckDuckGo as my search engine on mobile. The thing I hate most about ANY technology is when they think they know what I want more than I do.

Couldn't read article b/c of paywall, but I gotta put in a good word for Greenville SC, where I currently live. It's been popping up on a lot of "cool cities" lists recently, and rightfully so. Great & growing tech scene. I personally work for a medical start-up & could be living anywhere, but right now I'm content to be in "G-Vegas" =]
Re:Show HN: An Alternative Web Interface for YouTube

Really dislike how titles are truncated after a fairly small number of words. (I did a search for "on cinema" which is a comedy web series, and almost none of the results showed a full title.) There seems to be no reason not to simply let the titles wrap. Who cares if some result boxes are bigger than others? Anyway, a potentially useful tool if this is corrected.

I've always enjoyed Newsmap.jp, but it uses Flash, is kinda slow, and seems out of sync with what actually appears on Google News. So I built a super-fast version that uses D3.js for data viz. Hope you enjoy!

I hate to point this out, but given the theme of your essay, you might want to fix the phrase "you get it's first known appearance in the language" by removing a certain troublesome apostrophe.
