I hate cloud headlines. What's the hypervisor? VMWare is a hypervisor (ESX) and management applications (vCenter/vSphere, vCloud Director, etc). Openstack is only the management applications. And VMWare contributes the most interesting

Ugh. Sorry about this. As a lapsed math person (though not quite to your level) I meant it sincerely...

This is an interesting approach at empire building, Mr. Graham. Extremely belated congrats to Mr. Lacker on being a double Putnam fellow... that has piqued my interest in your company more than any marketing effort could have :)

I have no qualms with being judgmental. I hate this entire story. It's sad the guy got fired. It's sad this girl may have gotten fired. I would guess that nothing of any lasting value will come from the coming discussion.

Because it's a distasteful, sensationalist subject that any decent curator of a community would try to marginalize?

Well, they used a link bait title to get click-throughs, and the article didn't live up to their hype. It's unsurprising that some people are calling them out on it. EDIT - I'm glad this is off the front page. This etiquette kick that HN

They had better change the messaging. I'm in favor of common-sense regulation of mass-production food ingredients, and "sugar is toxic" even rubs me the wrong way.

I wouldn't even consider penetration/security testing to be in the same field. My experience in the traditional QA areas is that in order of likelihood to freelance are performance testers, automation/development testers, and finally manua

I signed up with uTest a while ago and have never done anything else with them. I'm generally underwhelmed. Seems much more geared for crowdsourcing a testing effort, which - with all due respect to innovative business models - seems less t

I don't know if uTest is still around, but they attempted to fill a similar niche. If you are in a testing lead position, then you know that an enormous amount of contracting is arranged via recruiters to fill this need also. I think the r

Your point is great, but could you elaborate on how you read the article as pushing, "fat makes you fat"? I read it much more as saying that large food companies have developed deep expertise in tuning the quantity of sugar, salt, fat, and

The idea that TSLA's valuation should be modeled in the same was as Ford, GM, et al is so preposterous that I have trouble comprehending how someone can make the point in an honest fashion. I think TSLA is richly valued and I would not buy

Didn't Salt build upon Func? And didn't the author of Func go on to write Ansible? My experience between Salt, Rundeck, Ansible, and Fabric was that Salt/Rundeck were too heavyweight and that between Ansible and Fabric, Ansible mopped the

I think it's an attempt at humor at the expense of _racists_. I don't see why any non-racist white person should be concerned about it.

So far I have to agree with David Kurtz at http://talkingpointsmemo.com/ - my favorite part is that it renames Alabama in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Berkshire Hathaway's biggest problem is finding productive investments on the scale of the cash they generate. There insurance float provides them with what is essentially interest free loans if they estimates losses well.

Hah - I only meant your reputation as a prolific and highly rated commenter. As for my response... you seem to have made a few presumptions about what I believe. Your comments about "all at once" restoring a pre-1900s atmospheric level, or

Your reputation precedes you, so I'm a bit hesitant here... but I have some questions based on this comment. Point 1: do you think humans are effecting the climate as much as whales or sheep? Less, more? If so, what order of magnitude, a

"What makes THIS particular climate change so different and more significant from the previous ones?" The speed at which it's occurring and it's correlation with man-made CO2 emission levels.

I like how they framed this: "It has also cut the top marginal tax rate by 27 percentage points since 1983, to 57%... This year it is cutting the corporate-tax rate from 26.3% to 22%." You might also note their top marginal income tax rate

Why would you "advocate" a policy. You can look at data where it was implemented, and compare it to other data. Choose the one that has a higher NPV. Every business is run that way, and so should government. This isn't philosphy, it's m

This looks a lot like the behavior of a certain Redmond based company 15 years ago.

I'm really grateful for you writing this. I don't know if I'd couch it in the Cathedral/Bazaar terminology, but I've had similar thoughts.

The raw products for fake chicken are mostly soybeans or chick peas, hot water, and a mineral coagulating agent. The biggest energy input is for boiling the water and growing the crops. Cows require 50 times more protein from grain as inpu

Brightcove is a great team, and Jeremy Allaire is a great executive. I don't know as much about Zencoder, but they found a really good place to land. It seems to have gotten lost in the other chatter, but BCOV nicely beat their estimates a
