Would it go away if there was less of it?
Can you imagine ways there could be less of it?

Why?
What I really want is the whole browser to go away.

Compose didn't offer only RethinkDB. It offered many other databases as well.

I wish they had added transactions. It seems like such an important feature.

Does RethinkDB not support transactions? I thought it did.

I wish RethinkDB had published a performance benchmark against Hadoop. It'd be enough to show the world how ahead of its times RethinkDB is.
I also wish I knew what RethinkDB's investors are thinking.

Sentences are creations. Does this mean every sentence we write on HN or say to each other by default is closed and needs a license?

It's good to know what the limit to customer support can be. Don't say customer support doesn't scale.

If both Allo users have responses recommended by the app, who's chatting with each other -- the users or the apps?

I don't see how this can be true. Wouldn't there be less to specify if the programmer didn't have to specify types at all?

This doesn't sound like the full explanation about the security problems of Java applets. It sounds more like a JIT bug. One can fix the JIT to check for out of bounds errors.
What's the real reason Java applets were insecure?
