I should have remembered how Reddit this place has become.

No idea what you mean by 1. I, along with about 50% of the UK is not a socialist.

> The vast (vast) majority of people claiming benefits are hard working people who do 40 hour weeks but still don't earn enough to support their family, so they claim Working Tax Credits.

Somehow they still seem to manage to afford the big flat screen TV, iPhone, xBox etc though don't they. Funny that...

You clearly have something against Osborne.

The UK government are investing the money. Osborne is the Chancellor of the Exchequer, why is it strange that he would be mentioned in the article as having a look at it?

He's only getting political flak from socialists and welfare claimants really - no surprise there.

It's been on HN front page several times in the last 4 years.

Traffic is easy. Profit is harder - especially if you make it clear from the outset that you're anti-advertising (See Reddit).

Whilst the growth is fun to watch, it's still only 37 direct queries a second, which is nothing.

Also, I know it's been mentioned a million times before, but the name is an artificial ceiling to growth. A large % of people have no clue what duck duck goose is. A large % of people see the name as amateur, childish and stupid.
