Doesn't appear this was intended as an idea to build software from, but a proof on how SQL vs noSQL is really SQL and coSQL.

Looks great actually.

For the same reason I leave every community (namely digg and reddit), I'll have to leave this one.

Far too much politics and I get sucked right in. I find myself reading and commenting on stuff that's a complete waste of time and energy.

It's great that HN added "hide" at least. Nice way to quickly remove these politically motivated articles.

Does anyone know how to delete my account here?

edit: Just requested an account over at lobsters, but'll just lurk if I'm denied.

Yes. We'll go with "dearth of resources." Thanks.

"Americans will die needless deaths"

when they're on long wait lists for procedures because of a glut on resources

when they no longer have access to the high quality care they once had

when there's a greater shortage of quality nurses and doctors because of diminished pay

when innovation is stifled because R&D is funded by the government

> In the meantime, Americans will die needless deaths from not receiving basic healthcare

No, it's the typical appeal to emotion nonsense that got the ACA passed to begin with. Now that's going to fail before it's even completely applied.

> Americans will die needless deaths

First off everyone dies. Who's not receiving healthcare right now that would be ultimately saved by the government?

Secondly let's cut the hyperbole and have a rational conversation about this.

Has anyone used RDS from lambda? Don't want to use Dynamo but perhaps for some key Val store.

Majority is truly just that, benevolent aid. You want to spin some tall tales conspiracy then let's see some citation on the matter.

Sure American companies benefit, sure there's some fraud, sure some of it is a foreign policy decision in the US best interests. But a lot of good is done.
