Golang already provides bindings for the polling syscalls (e.g. https://gcmurphy.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/using-epoll-in-go/). Someone can write a library to do what you describe.

They have audience options for ads (like age/gender/location, see http://searchads.apple.com/how-it-works/#features), meaning they collect data about their users as well.
Also, they colluded with other companies to, effectively, keep employees' wages down. Amount of money they saved was probably a rounding error for them in this case too.

Ask PG: Can you fix the HN RSS feed?
Until sometime yesterday (maybe a little earlier) HN RSS feed items had links to the submitted urls while there was a separate link to the comments. It was very convenient to check interesting items from an rss reader.Now both of them linking to the comments and I can't check the submitted link without first opening the comments.Can we go back to the earlier rss feed style?
