you miss the point that the right ssh keys will be used by default. currently malware would have to search for and use the keys by itself.
now the servers will be on a gold platter, ready to be served

That's why in germany the first course in the first semester of CS teaches you three things: imperative programming, functional programming and logical programming. That way you can choose your favorite programming paradigm early on in your career and don't get surprised and wonder what would have been if you found it earlier in your career.
I hope other countries teach programming like that as well
Re:Flowchat – an open source HackerNews alternative written in Java

That's on a wired 50 megabit connection, I don't want to know the load time on mobile. Good job on an overblown landing page!

Re:Show HN: PDF Otter – Fill in PDFs Online and API

I don't get it. What advantage does this service have over using a pdf library to insert additional text?
Why do I need an external server for this text insertion task?
