did anyone else notice we have 3 posts a week about the cap theorem? Maybe it's about time we stop talking about it and start using some other terminology.
Your right. All this talk of distributed systems is making hacker news too nerdy. Lets go rate someone's startup and find a technical cofounder. Perhaps we might also watch a video of a prominent investor trying to promote his personal brand.
