Author here: actually the article talks about this- you're unable to cancel the My Website (their most popular service) using that website.

We have 50 reader reviews of GoDaddys website builder at Site Builder Report. Of the 50 reviews, 48 have received the lowest possible rating (1 star out of 5). http://www.sitebuilderreport.com/reviews/godaddy/user-review...

No other website builder we cover is the target of as much outrage from readers.

Loved his points about how you can hear punctuation in speech:

"Morgan Freeman is liberal with the commas, and Jon Stewart is a master of parentheses. Lewis Black made a career out of the exclamation point while Dennis Leary barely uses any punctuation at all."

Overall, a great Sunday morning read.

That's so fascinating to me.

So there is the "start time", but it's just delayed? For example: scheduling a 7pm dinner means everyone will know to arrive at 8pm?

As a Canadian, it's always fun when we get European friends and family who come to Toronto and discuss going to Montreal or New York for "the day."

Then you get to explain just how far apart everything is here :)

Of course, I'm making a bit of a caricature here, but I really have had friends and family say this before.

The solution (in so far as there is a solution) is to cultivate a culture. Large communities remain civil through culture.

Last week I wrote a post called "How to Cultivate Culture" that received a good amount of attention (outside of Hacker News) about this: http://www.sitebuilderreport.com/blog/6-ways-to-cultivate-cu...

"In the future search will be a discovery tool" ... I think this sentence needs some work. It feels empty of meaning. Am I missing something? Or does the sentence really simply mean: "in the future search will be a way to discover things"?

Because in that case the future may already be here :)

They also did a podcast on this subject. Well worth a listen as well: https://soundcloud.com/a16z/a16z-podcast-valuing-todays-fast...

Thanks Paulo- glad you liked it :)

Awesome. An easy interface explaining each goodie.

Such a simple idea- and yet I've never seen Google figure something like this out. I mean I'm sure it's buried somewhere in Google's technical docs, but those docs don't qualify as easy interfaces.

Well done DuckDuckGo!

Videos like this should become standard for any major SV acquisition!

What Weebly understands (that many website builders don't) is that a "blank canvas" is not the correct metaphor for building a website.

Instead a website needs structured sections (such as navigation, logo, footer etc.) as well as "blank canvas" areas (such as the body of the content).

They always seem to nail this tension.

Congratulations to David and Weebly- they consistently ship amazing features!

PS - My background: I've written in-depth reviews of 40+ website builders.

Most Western countries (not Canada) have opposed the last few major American conflicts, so "subsidizing" is an awfully generous way of putting it.

As a Canadian, I would like to suggest an alternative title :)

"The Canadian Middle Class is Now the World's Richest"

(1) That is not at all a conventional theory of "capitalism"

(2) It is most certainly not what Piketty means by capitalism ... which is what we are discussing here.

Rome was not capitalist.

He is arguing that the inequality capitalism generates is unsustainable.

It is pretty clear Wells wasn't trying to confront Stalin on historical events here. This was mostly a theoretical and ideological discussion.

Fascinating how important the questions of class and revolution are in this conversation (from both Stalin and Wells).

Equally interesting is how theoretical and ideological the answers are.

Great read!

You are inferring that being in a US administration while US sanctioned murder and torture occurs, means that the leader therefore murdered and tortured people.

Which puts Condi in a large group of people: nearly every member of a US administration in the last century.

Edit: Jesus. A lot of people missed the point of what I said. All I did was argue the issue is more nuanced than "[Condi Rice] tortured and murdered people"

My mistake for trying to broaden a Hacker News discussion.

"With this three billion from Google, we will solve the housing crisis in the Bay Area"

Huh.

EH! I wanted to see the results :)

Julie has been posting on Medium for a while though- this is I believe Elons first post on Medium.

If you're considering a stand-up desk, I'd really recommend this review: http://www.thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-standing-desks...

It hugely influenced my purchase of a NextDesk Terra :)

Thanks for the heads up- I have no idea why I was hellbanned ...
