Nothing special, just was interesting to see. I wonder who the clientele is...

I should mention that I clicked on every single link to see the contents before classifying it, which is part of what made this so tedious

Oh man, this is awesome. I learned a lot from collecting this data and one of the big takeaways for me was how diverse the set of news sources on HN is (to your point, very little "traditional" journalism here). Glad you're doing this!

"I hope you come away with a new appreciation that trade-offs exist, there is no free lunch despite the implementation language or algorithms used. Optimizations exist, but you can’t optimize for everything. In distributed systems you won’t find companies or projects that state that they optimized for CAP in the CAP theorem. Equally, we can’t optimize for high throughput, low latency, low cost, high availability and high durability all at the same time. As system builders we have to choose our trade-offs, that single silver-bullet architecture is still out there, we haven’t found it yet."

There's something highly unnatural feeling about video chat, I think it's very fundamental, and I have a hunch that research will bear this out eventually
