I will counter this with the following.

My mother turned 60 late January this year, she received a bowl cancer screening kit which she did and they recommend she come in for a colonoscopy, which identified she highly likely had bowl cancer. 3 Weeks later she received the results for a CT with contrast scan which found no evidence of cancer else where in her major organs and nodes. 3 Weeks later she is having surgery to remove the cancerous bowl.

All for free.

Tell me again why America has the highest rate of Stage 5 Cancers over 65.

I would have thought just using Unifi's DNS server to address each device would have been far simpler.

Or if you are someone who doesn't know how it works it makes the whole article flow and make sense without having to context shift out to Google. The world of readers doesn't know what you know, or what I know for that matter.

I know bitly have an implementation of statsd in golang [0]. Ive not used it in production but have contributed to it. Go is fast to a point, it is not as fast as C but it is easier to write fast Go than fast C.
