You're calling it a scam as if this website is touting that they are offering the same SEO benefits of the original project. They aren't.

Why do you think it's like this? Are those left expressing the nihilism of the rejected? Surely, the successful (the kind of success that YCombinator strives for) are eternally optimistic.

...the headline should make it immediately clear this isn't Zoom.com.

Read what I wrote again. "Seeking out" is not limited to just choosing a different package, it includes the cognitive costs of exploring an option that is hitherto unknown to oneself.

You only think I'm squirming because you are qualifying what "seeking out" means to a narrow view, ironically.

How would one who is unfamiliar with those "simpler HTTP servers" even know the fact without diving into comparing the complexities of Apache and nginx against the other options? Why dive into that complexity if one is already familiar with Apache and nginx, in this use case (I'm sure you'd agree that the average person tasked for this would be more likely to be familiar with those)? This is the point you're missing.

Yes, being narrow minded is sufficient in removing the complexities necessary to host a static website.

It's a non-sequitur to say since I don't endorse using other servers in this instance, I must lack knowledge of them. It's not about me or you, it's about the lowest common denominator of technical person necessary to maintain a static website.

Following your path, the complexity becomes contemplating why one should use lesser known web servers instead of what one is more likely to be familiar with.

Seeking out relatively unknown and unsupported HTTP servers itself becomes unnecessary complexity.

Same question. Netlify CMS and Eleventy seem like un-necessary complexity here. Apache or Nginx web servers can be setup with a one click install on most web hosts.

I typed "man jumping on bed" and none of the results match the term, on any of the result pages. Whereas Google Images is very accurate.

Do you mean in terms of taking extra discipline on themselves (which might seem unnecessary to outsiders), or in terms of preaching what they think is right?

If hosting costs are a concern: both Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure give away $300 and $200 in credits, respectively, for new accounts.

The issue is that infections are not going to be evenly distributed inline with ICU beds. For example, NYC has 3,000 ICU beds, of which 80% are already occupied (65 by coronavirus patients based on the latest numbers). Meaning there are 600 ICU beds open right now. With a 10% ICU rate, that's only 6,000 confirmed infections in a city of 8.6M for the hospitals to be overwhelmed.

Bonafide needs, to the detriment of superfluous wants.

What type of businesses do you see this being a fit for? It seems like it could get pretty expensive at scale. IE. 100K logins a day is $720K/yr in costs. Unless I'm missing something. Depending on the business, that might be an expense that really doesn't make sense. Financial applications with funds at stake like crypto exchanges make sense, though.

Well, you'd put $10M of the $1 billion into Sequoia and then ask "what do you know about"...

You should email a TechCrunch writer directly and ask.

True enough. The anonymity also leads to people being more candid, and that generally means an unveiling of information asymmetries.

Anonymous people over the web have become guides to personal finance, reddit just facilitates that. The same advice was available during the "blogging/RSS era".

Adam fell into the duality of the subject object relationship when he ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, this much is implied in the very name of the tree which relates two opposing and irreconcilable terms. After eating from this tree, Adam began to see himself as seperate from God. This led to the absursity of his shame, since putting on clothes is not going to hide what's underneath from the all knowing being. For man, it is absurd that he sees himself as seperate from God, whose existence man depends on for his own being. Seeing his nakedness after having not seen it previously also speaks to man's mode of being shifting from the inward to the outward, with the surface of the body being the limit of outward development and the preoccupation with it being exposed pointing to this shift and fall. The two eyes of the two individuals, again signifying duality, being opened also attests to this shift since the eyes that see the nakedness can only see outwardly. And finally, recall that this shift from the inward to the outward is precisely the fall of man, since the "Kingdom of God is within you."

What are some good examples of that?

The Makerpad data is incorrect. The source: https://www.makerpad.co/blog/building-without-code-and-reach... is referring to a different company generating 55k/mo revenue, not Makerpad.

Having employees doing the bulk of the work helps, I'm sure.

Not enough information provided to determine that.

> Are they assuming that the general public are so interested in mattresses that they'll go on the website to check it out, instead of just picking something up at Ikea, or their local discount mattress provider?

Going to a website to check pricing is more effort than the other two options you stated?

Thank you, fixed.

I'd use this if we had complete customizability of the comment system's design through CSS.

> but not okay for employees to band together to get paid what they're worth?

Does not Facebook also retain the right to hire employees willing to take less?

To follow up with you: Yeah, I'd say I doubt the earnestness.
