Was the query for a domain name or just hacker+news? How do we know? Does <title> make any difference? I don't think of this site as "Hacker News". I think of it as ycombinator, and the subdomain, news. Should users of hackernews.

What is evolution? Is it adding features? (to use the software lingo) Or is it subtracting ones that have no real benefit, striving toward greater efficiency? Like terse lines of code in a concise, well-written computer program, every bacte

Well, this is why NFL Films and the old programs they produced in the 70's and 80's are so cool. NFL Films had it all. Every angle, every sound plus the all-22. They could do the full analysis. And their choice of music was, in retrospe

I'm guessing the reason this was downvoted was the first paragraph. It was meant as sarcasm. Bing fans on HN I did not expect.

Perhaps it's worth considering that if a new network is extremely slow compared to the present "expensive name brand hardware"-powered internet then it might not attract as much attention from the "streaming premium content" crowd. They mi

I'd still take the bet. In the world of bacteria, there is no need for the SEC, lawyers or fear of liability. It's the fact that their needs are so few - they can seemingly live almost anywhere under almost any conditions - that makes them

It takes balls to say anything bad about Javascript, CSS and "web apps", especially to an audience full of web designers. If I could upvote you I would. But my browser does not support Javascript and I don't think upvoting is REST-friendl

Great example of an idea that was initially widely rejected only to be later widely accepted. How many times does that happen in science? Seems to me that the biological reality is that bacteria rule the Earth. They always have and alway

Not protocols, but usage. Not emotion, but common sense. If Skype, a peer to peer network that uses a proprietary protocol and third party servers (neither of which is a prerequisite for a peer to peer network), was used primarily for file

I read that Xerox did this between two of their buildings many years ago. Apparently it ran across some portion of a motorway and they had to turn if off occassionally. I've forgotten where I read this. Maybe someone else knows the full

I think it comes down to what the goals are. If the goal is to connect peer to peer with a small group of people you know in person and can trust, I see great potential. People congregate in small groups. Facebook friends, Skype contacts,

Blocking is not done via robots.txt. It would more likely be IP-based. Impossible to block Google? Probably true. But only because they have been allowed to grow so large as to be indefeasible. And the reason they've been able to do tha

If you want to build a search engine, there's no need to crawl the web. Just crawl Google. That's what Microsoft did. The inequities of crawling are in my opinion a huge issue with the web that receives relatively little discussion. If a

I find it amusing to read an article that talks about a potential 100bln IPO and at the same time asks how this company will make money. If that is still an open question then something is very wrong with this picture. But some people, e.g

One more try to get through to you then I'm giving up. Here goes. What are the arguments _against_ open source? What if someone says, "Open source means poor quality"? You can look back on the last 15 years, choose some examples of open sou

Maybe simplicity is a choice. Imagine you consult with two colleagues asking for an explanation of a problem. Colleague 1 begins, "Well, it's complex, ...." Colleague 2 begins, "It's simple, ..." All else being equal, just based on how they

No. I explained what I meant and you still don't seem to get it. Read what I said about the naysayers again. You asked for the historical evidence I mentioned and I gave you the example of the TCP/IP stack we're all using. I shouldn't hav

I agree with this, although I'd go even further. If this app's sole purpose is to retrieve a couple of numbers (surface temperature and relative humidity) why do we need graphics? What purpose is achieved? Given the extremely basic task a

You have made assumptions about what I meant with my original comment. Your assumptions are incorrect. Why not just ask me: "What do you mean by that?" Here's what I meant. I believe there were naysayers in the 1980's and early 1990's (a
