slawekrewaj··on Google requiring all ‘G Suite legacy free edition’ users to start paying
There is no need to nuke all Google accounts. You can switch to the free edition of Cloud Identity - https://support.google.com/cloudidentity/answer/7319251?hl=e...

You will still need to find the replacement for gmail etc though

slawekrewaj··on Google requiring all ‘G Suite legacy free edition’ users to start paying
If the main concern is to keep a free Google Account on a custom domain, then that's still possible. It's enough to convert all users from G Suite to the free edition of Cloud Identity - https://support.google.com/cloudidentity/answer/7319251?hl=e...

Obviously that will require a replacement for gmail, calendar, etc, but it's understandable if somebody doesn't want to pay for Google's version

slawekrewaj··on Thomas Piketty’s plan to fix the economy
As a resident of a former communist country I can tell you, from my country experience, that labor is definitely not enough to create any value. You need two other things:

1. Savings which you can use as a capital to improve the efficiency of labor - think buying tools before you start working.

2. Proper organization of work, which is the task of entrepreneurs. Without them people can work hard and produce no value at all. It happens everywhere in the world today, where some bureaucrats get the power to decide what people should do. It happened a lot in all communist countries, where large parts of people's effort were under their control.

If people's labor was everything you need to create value, then why are people in North Korea starving? Do you suggest that they don't work hard enough?

The Linux usage is still marginal. It looks like last web developers left Windows for Linux ;)
slawekrewaj··on Ask HN: Where to Host Dedicated Servers?
I think dedicated servers are used when you think about performance first. In that case the approach to scaling is probably to just over provision, which works perfectly in a lot of cases.

I would also use OVH for dedicated servers.
