Please don't post unsubstantive comments. That, combined with snark about new work, is something we try to avoid on HN. Of course, there's a legit point about cloud-connected products here too and you're welcome to comment about that substantively.
It's true that there are other unsubstantive comments in the thread, and many more elsewhere on HN, but we can't reply to them all. Our intention is absolutely not to pick on anyone personally, but to provide signals to the community about the level of discourse we're all going for here.
FYI: dang is an HN admin, so has additional tools besides the upvote and downvote arrows, up to and including nuking comments and banning users. A comment before it gets to that point is a courtesy, I think.
Edit: We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10273316 and marked it off-topic.
