One thing I'd guaranteed- it's not china. China is very well adept at paying newspapers and tv firms journalists as my friends from south asia tell me and that is a much cleaner approach.
I presume you distribute everything you create for free?

Re:Tipping May Be the Norm, but Not for Hotel Housekeepers on Friday December 28, 2018 @09:37PM (#18781395)
I've always wondered hoe much is a good tip? Is $2 a good for a 300usd a night hotel?
Submit anyway if HN can learn something and if it justifies sidestepping rules by removing the http and dot part.
Can I use this with my own isp? Bring your own ip?

Or with azure?

The article didn't mention this- how do they "justify" taxes on what is "their own province"?

Can I get a quick vim vs emacs usage vote here? Not looking for a war. Just a usage vote. I will try and update results. Feel free to reply with your daily hours too

Results below- small sample but makes me wonder about stack overflow survey about vim being thrice as used as emacs. I am a very loyal vim user but I would wager that those results were influenced by the occasional vim user. What are others thoughts on this?

I know about ram and don't have a computer handy but processor too?
How is the surface line for writing code using a pen? I hear they are the best note taking devices but does that apply to code too? What are some other options for writing code?

What I'm looking for:

1) natural writing feel

2) low response times

3) easy erasing (software)

4) optional: Digitization/handwriting recognition

Points for trying to reclaim the word crypto.
How do I contact you? I'm building a product for businesses and would like to use this (when ready).
I would pay something. I have to evaluate more to decide how much and under what pricing model.

Re:Show HN: Sciter and Node.js versus Electron on Sunday December 23, 2018 @01:01PM (#18747364)
It definitely is interesting. There is a huge pent up demand for a cross platform easy to use GUI lib which is manifesting in the form of people using electron despite I'd bring resource intensive.

I will say open source or not is not an issue for most. Few look at source and rare modify it. I just want an easy API.

How many non-toy non-self compilers and interpreters are written in Rust?

Does it all go to QC? If so, this is a major bet.
