ehlloon Ask HN: Would you trust your real work to Google if they can just lock you out?

I personally think, it is always a bad idea to put important IP/Knowledge(or your complete business) into the hands of other Companies/People. You play in their Garden and if they decide to "alter" the agremeent, than you have to deal with it.

ehlloon Ask HN: Has anyone learnt to love art?

Art is a lot more than the visuals you see or the acting for example. Maybe it helps you to know, that any "artwork" gives you a clear view into the point of time, when it was created. If you understand this, you can better grasp what the artist wants carry over with his work, why the artist has done this and how this art influenced other artist's and society.

Just two examples to make it clear:

High Art vs Low Art (kitsch):

ehlloon Show HN: NameQL – Find a name in milliseconds

Just one thought about usefullness with your design. Give the user the option to mark/remember names. If the user finds a good name at the first page, there is a good chance that the user can not remeber the name from page 1 on page 10.

ehlloon Ask HN: Drupal or Django for my startup? and why

You should compare something like laravel(https://laravel.com/) or symfony(https://symfony.com/) against the djangoproject(https://www.djangoproject.com/). I think this is a more appropriate choice. If you are not sure about the dev-performance of your team with a naked framework, you should consider something like the Oro-Platform(https://github.com/orocrm/platform) or Odoo(https://github.com/odoo/odoo). You can also work with a e-commerce/shop system like oscar(https://github.com/django-oscar/django-oscar) or shuup(https://github.com/shuup/shuup) as a base.
