Ask HN: Can you live w/o hackernews or w/o google?

Google is much more valuable especially if you take services into account, such as google code, gmail, google maps, etc etc

Hackernews you can get away with using rss to a good extent and the blog/articles official comments.

Well, technically "no", since Google pays my salary. But assuming I found another source of revenue, sure. It's as easy as turning off the computer, which is nowhere near as tragic as many people make it out to be.

I would definitely lose Hacker News.

I could lose either one. There are HN alternatives too.
