And parent hasn't broken any guidelines by posting garbage? Rather biased. Go ahead, ban my account, fascist pricks


It's possible that parent comment referred to such democracies as Germany, Italy, etc.


Whereas Germany's Nazi past seems overly dramatised. I'm sure many young Germans these days are sick of being constantly reminded and made to feel guilty for their forefathers sins.


Having lived in Germany for a few years now, most young Germans acknowledge the nazis as part of the history, and see them as a cautionary tale of how easily extremism can derail an otherwise advanced country.

Any extreme position is therefore regarded with a high degree of skepticism. I think that's pretty healthy.


Anecdotal of course, but .. Having lived in both the USA and German, as an outsider (Australian), I can honestly say that I think most German youth are quite okay with their own understanding of their history, and that in fact it gives them an awareness of the dangers of politics, and moreover of the dangers of The People themselves, in the modern context, in granting their leadership heinous powers for which they, The People, then fail to take responsibility.

Many German friends I made, expressed the desire that they not - for example - see what happened in Germany, happen in the United States of America. A concern I, of course, share.


This sounds like an anti BRICS scare piece. Author conveniently forgets to mention that the USA / UK etc (along with their respective multinationals) destroy whole countries for their energy resources, or Monsanto testing crops in India, causing farmers to commit suicide.


It's a bit of a strawman argument to bring in unrelated paris and brussels.


Appeal to emotion actually.


Hear hear, same with a fancy wedding. Save the money for a house.


Cute


why the downvote? I actually meant it's cute, not the cynical 'cute'


I didn't downvote you (else I wouldn't be able to post a reply!) but the downvote comes from not adding anything substantial to the conversation: it's the +1 of github issues - any "thanks for posting!" kind of comments tend to get killed (again, it would be better to post something more substantial, like why you liked it etc etc). Your reply to yourself got downvoted, 'cause "no complaining about being downvoted" https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html


> I didn't downvote you (else I wouldn't be able to post a reply!)

Eh? Yes you can. Why do you think you can't?

In fact if you downvote you are encouraged to post a reply to explain why.

It's actually the opposite: You can't downvote people who reply to you.


ahh, wasn't aware of the guidelines!


Would this functionality really be hard to implement yourself? What is the benefit of using a service like this?


Well, although it seems doable in a reasonable time, there’re a few things you need to take care of from dev perspective e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22333237/generating-uniqu...

But from what we've gathered so far the most time-consuming thing for software developers (especially in e-commerce industry) is the maintenance phase. Meaning - the time when voucher campaigns are “in production”. Marketing team wants to stop the campaign as asap as possible, customer service team has to handle another customer coupon complaint, management wants to know the ROI of campaigns and so on. This is what our platform help solving too.


right :), thanks for the use-case for an outsider like me.


Blah blah blah, go back to liberal arts college


Please don't do this here.


climate activist, lol.


Looking forward to seeing nginx gain QUIC support one of these days
