You typed that silly reply on an operating system created by a European. You don't think we can host the shit out of that OS in Europe? I think you're just butt hurt because someone said something bad about the greatest country in the whole world that you know of.

Whoa - you've posted tons of flamewar comments in this thread - that's seriously not cool, regardless of how right you are or feel you are, or how wrong other people are or you feel they are.

It looks like you've been breaking the site guidelines in other contexts too. Can you please review them and stick to the intended spirit here? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

If you're talking about linux an operating system based on unix from bell labs. then it just an operating system created by a European which is based on an operating system created by Americans. without one the other wouldn't exist.

Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar, let alone dumb nationalistic flamewars. We may not be able to have a reliably good discussion forum in this community but we can at least do better than that.

Without beating around the bush, can you state your point please?

[AnonMO]

My point is at the end of the post. also why do you keep deleting your comments? i had such a good response to your periodic table nonsense lol.

[kreeben]

Here is my periodic system nonsense again: a European discovered silicon. America's not all that. Also, you seem to have a chicken and egg problem with your reasoning.

That wasn't your comment you said the nordic countries discovered more periodic elements the US. My response was going to be since your grouping the nordic countries the the uk and us would also have to be group because of historic relation between the uk and us specifically the us is some degree was a colony of the uk. With that being said the two combined have discovered 45 elements almost split evenly between the two in comparison to the nordics 25. Also its not a chicken and egg problem unix came to fruition without linux, but linux would never have existed without unix especially if Linus Torvalds had never came in contact with unix at university. Linus Torvalds thesis goes in detail about relation between the two.

I typed my reply on an OS created by Americans, but that's entirely irrelevant.

It's not about just installing Linux on a box, plugging in an Ethernet cable and calling it a day. We're talking about cloud providers here. You need to create something on the scale of AWS and Azure if you want to be taken seriously. Hetzner and OVH aren't going to cut it.

>> It's not about just installing Linux on a box, plugging in an Ethernet cable and calling it a day.

It's not? Because that's what most Europeans think.

>> We're talking about cloud providers here.

Ooooooooooooooooooh weeeeeeeeeeeh, now that's fancy.

Maybe if we could get an American over here to help us out, it could work? Are you available? Because we need answers to questions that you can't just google. We need someone who's been there, done that and who has money beyond what any European could ever even imagine. We need a Texan.

Are you a Texan? Or an absolute asshole? Both of those combined seems to fit the profile of a person that could make a change over here.
