For those like me confused how opensource.net is related to opensource.org from their about link:

> OpenSource.net launched in response to the halt of Opensource.com operations by supervising entity Red Hat, which supports the move. This includes facilitating the republishing of selected, previously published material from Opensource.com for the archives of OpenSource.net with the project’s community manager Seth Kenlon continuing to play an advisory and supporting role.

From the HN guidelines:

> Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

It isn't mysterious. It just doesn't match the vibes of HN. I don't come on HN to see silly jokes. And as you can see by the number of flags this post has received to kill it, it looks like most HN readers agree with me.

Still it is not clear why a silly joke needs to be on the front page of HN!

> Iceland was a very poor country for most people other than a few well off in the fishing industry.

Very insightful. I had no clue this was the case.

Is there any published list somewhere that measures the relative richness between the countries? I am just curious to see which countries come out at the top and which ones at the bottom. Anyone knows any such list?

Tell us more about your project! Did you start it from scratch? Or did you use another opensource app as starting point and developed it further for yourself? What language is your app written in? Where do you run it? In CLI? or desktop GUI? The more you can share about it the merrier. I am sure others want to learn more about this too.

Thanks for clearing up my confusion! That comment makes total sense now and not as baffling as it first looked.

> What if you have never cooked at home but all the time in a commercial kitchen? That's the reality for most of us here so it is a bit difficult to relate to this article.

Really? I'd hazard a guess that the majority here (> 50%) have never worked at a commercial kitchen!

I'm honestly curious to understand why you think most people here must have worked at commercial kitchen and never cooked at home?

But the OP is talking about creating a new blog (a website that has a collection of blog posts).

> As noted in another comment, some of this can be attributed to manufacturing being done elsewhere

This is an excellent point. Are there reports similar to TFA that accounts for this? I mean a report that calculates the total demand a country is putting on carbon emissions (directly or indirectly) will be more insightful.

> The current Remembrance Agent uses the Savant information retrieval system developed in-house by the Jan Nelson and Bradley Rhodes. The Remembrance Agent runs through emacs, a popular text editor. The user interface is programmed in elisp, and the results are presented as a three line buffer at the bottom of the window.

There is a nice retro screenshot of Emacs after this. Looks like a really old version of Emacs. A nice window into the history of computer stuff!
